Welcome to my lair! MUAHAHAHAHAH! (cough cough) I can never do that right...
Anyway...
If you are here, then it's most likely because you got here by mistake. Unless you're actually reading this message, which must mean you're here to stay. So, If you're interested, here's a bit about me.

Name: Gwendolyn (Gwen for short...Gwendolyn is a mouthful, don't you think?)
Okay, I just found this out. Gwendolyn is a name of Welsh origin, and it means "Fair-haired" or "Fair One".

What I Wish My Name Was: Miriku. Dursh. ...Or maybe Sylvia... It means "From the Forest", but that's beside the point.

GAIA Online Screenname: Mutou_Miriku

Item: Millennium Dagger (Okay, so carrying a dagger around with you everywhere might be a little over-safety-concious, but hey. That's me for you. Paranoid.)

Age: NUNYAH!!!

Gender: I am woman! Hear me roar!

Height: Umm...5' 4"? I dunno, I haven't measured my height in a long time...

City: Somewhere in Illinois. I know, but you don't need to. Hehehe.

General Looks: I wear glasses. I wear baggy T-shirts and jeans. My hair goes about halfway down my back. I'm in desperate need of braces--I mean, I look like a vampire with a bad case of overbite. The baggy T-shirts make me look wider than I am. I usually keep my hair up in a ponytail--sometimes in a pink, blue, or white bandanna if I feel like being different. Although lately, I've taken to using headbands...

Hobbies: Singing, writing, reading, writing, watching YuGiOh/YuGiOh GX, writing, drawing--and did I mention writing? Oh, and talking to myself. (Hey, it's not my fault that the voices talk back...especially Kimiru...)

Favorite Shows: YUGIOH! And YuGiOh GX! Avatar, Pokemon, Pokemon Chronicles, Scooby-Doo, My Life as a Teenage Robot (I've seen the movie--'Escape from Cluster Prime'! How cool!), Jimmy Neutron, Codename: Kids Next Door, Digimon, One Piece, Code: LYOKO, Transformers Armada/Energon/Cybertron, Ben 10, Johnny Test, Loonatics Unleashed, Danny Phantom, Spongebob Squarepants, InuYasha, Eureka 7, W.I.T.C.H.,Winx Club, Totally Spies, Naruto, Kyle XY, America's Funniest Home Videos, Animal Planet's THE MOST EXTREME, The Planet's Funniest Animals, Dirty Jobs, How It's Made, NOVA, Ghost in the Shell...what else? Yes, I'm an anime freak...my most favorite is YuGiOh, so most of my fanfics are on that subject...

Favorite Authors/Poets: J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, Lloyd Alexander, Mercedese Lacky, Judy Blume, Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Browning, Langston Hughes, Madeleine L'Engle, C.S. Lewis, Gertrude Chandler Warner, Brian Jaques, Eoin Cofer, whoever wrote Nancy Drew, whoever wrote Bobbsey Twins, T.A. Barron, David Eddings, Lemony Snickett, Stephen King, Diane Duane, Kathryn Lasky, Anne Rice, Johnathan Stroud, Kristen Klaudstrup, Avi, Anne McCaffery, Helen Fox, Ray Bradbury, MATTHEW SKELTON!!! Yeah, I read a lot, but nowhere near as much as I write or watch YuGiOh!

BEST DEBUT NOVELS EVER READ

Third Place
Goes to The Book of Story Beginnings by Kristen Klaudstrup. It's one of the best kids' novels I've read in a loooong time.

Second Place
Queen's Own, by Mercedes Lacky. I like it--Talia reminds me a lot of me. Most of her later books are better, though.

FIRST PLACE!
ENDYMION SPRING! No, seriously--Dr. Matthew Skelton is absolutely brilliant! I managed to get a signed copy from him yesterday (9/12/06), and I spent all night reading it. No, really. I finished the book at, like, four o'clock in the morning, nodded off, and had this crazy dream about a boy with black hair, grey eyes, and Endymion Spring... I woke up about fifteen minutes later and wrote it down. And while I was writing it, my alarm clock rang...o.O;

Grade: 8th

Hair Color: Goldish brown

Eye Color: Depends on my mood. Usually brown, though.

Personality: Slightly paranoid, talkative around people I know. Shy around new people.

I will not openly flame a fic. Maybe a bit of constructive critisism here and there, but no open flames. Flames directed at my stories will be used to roast marshmallows.

Okay, enough about me--talk to the yami! NOW!

Age: 5016 (Counting the five millenia I spent stuck in the Millennium Dagger, of course...)

Gender: Female, of course--whoever heard of being the opposite gender as your hikari?

Hobbies: Practicing my swordsmanship and accuracy, reading poetry, polishing my daggers...that sort of constant habit of mine is of getting Miriku to slow down when she talks or reviews.

Personality: Hmm...calm, collected, thoughtful, usually quiet, and I have a tendency to sweatdropping whenever Miriku is yammering...

Hair Color: Mostly gold, with a little brown in it

Eye Color: Silvery blue

General Looks: My hair reaches my waist, and is straight--unlike that of my hikari. I have no need of glasses. I have cat ears...and a tail. Both are white. If I have to wear modern clothes, I wear a tight-fitting white T-shirt and tight-fitting black jeans. If not, I keep to my normal outfit--a linen tunic and breeches.

Weapons: Dagger, shortsword, shuriken, kunai

Chazz: (pulls sheet over Jaden's head again) Best two out of three.
Jaden: Hey!

Tristan: Hold on--why didn't Scapegoat disappear?
Joey: Dat's because she drew Scapegoat first, but played it last, and den... No clue.
Yugi: (laughs) It's simple, guys. The last card played in a turn always activates first, so the first card has no effect on the last, even though it was played first.
Joey/Tristan: (groans)

Abedos: Just give up--none of you want to duel me!
Jaden: (Jumping up and down) Ooh! I do! Pick me! Come on!

Jaden: Well, it's a good thing he isn't around today--or that undefeated record of his would be going down!
Chazz: (sarcastically) Yeah--and then you're going to beat Yugi and Kaiba, too.
Jaden: Wow, you really think so? Thanks, Chazz, I never knew you beleived that much in me!
Chazz: (twitching) It's sarcasm, you slacker!
Jaden: Okay, whatever you say--but if you want to change your name, Chazz, I'm sure you could do a lot better than Sarcasm!
Chazz: (reaches over and headlocks Jaden) You know what I meant!

--Sky, Jade Empire

Bastion: A bit odd--don't you think, Chazz?
Chazz: Hel-lo, this is Jaden. Everything he does is odd.

Sam: We'll only be studying!

AWA

Kit: You said things around here are getting weird?

Nita: But this time it just seems more... It seems bigger this time, even though it's smaller. You know what I mean?
Kit: It means you're away from home. I feel it, too, a little. ...But among other things, it means that if we get killed, it's not our fault.
Nita: Oh, great. You find the strangest ways to be positive...
AWA

Kit: Neets...what happens if we do die?
Nita: We get yelled at. (laughs a little) I dunno...
AWA

"I don't want certainty! I don't want answers! I don't even know what the questions are yet! Don't I get any time to find things out for myself, before Saint bloody Michael the Archangel or whatever else He's been lately moves in upstairs in my head and starts rearranging the furniture?"

BC: TotT

Pohatu: Wait! Listen, I have a feeling we're both here for the same reason. Why not team up? It makes things easier.
Kopaku: I work alone.
Pohatu: By choice? Or just because no one can stand you?
BC: TotT

Me: Nuh-uh! Yami is!
Amanda: Is not!
Me: Is too!
Amanda: Is not!
Me: Is too!
Nicole: ...If it's all the same to you two, I'd vote Yami.
Me: Told ya!
Amanda: Traitor!

"MY sexy bishie pharaoh! ALL MINE! NO TOUCH-EE!"
--Me (on sugar rush, after Nicole (Nikkie) Friedman gave me a Yami plushie for my birthday)

"What the crap?"
--Me (I say that a lot...)

"Naw, really?"
--Me: (I say that a lot, too...)

Nikkie: I'll be right back. Don't touch any of my stuff.
Me: (the second she's gone) Touch...touch...touch...
Amanda: Nikkie! She's touching!
Me: Heyy! You're not supposed to tell!

"GAH! Gwen only got a B on her essay! It's a sign of the Apocalypse! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"

Frank Figureda: No...
Will: Leon?
Leon Esteban: No...
Will: Gwen?
Me: (looks up from 'borrowed' manga folder) Hunh? What?
Nijaye: (grabs folder from my hand) Here it is!
Will: Gwe-en!

"You know you're a blond when you trip sitting down..."
--Anais Jackson (a girl from my Civics class--she said this after I sat down and managed to fall off the other end of my seat)

Nikkie: Aww! Gwenny gots a boy-fwiend!
Me: Wha? What the crap are you talking about?
Nikkie: (grabs Yami poster) Miriku-chan and Yami, sittin' in a tree!
Me: Nikkie! (snatches poster back)
Nikkie: Ha-hah! You like Yami!
Me: And you like Suikotsu. Your point?
Nikkie: Hey! How did you--
Me: How do you think?
Nikkie: I am so gonna kill Terrance when I get my hands on him! Grr...

Terrance: Umm...are you weird, or are you weird?
Me: Both!

--Mary Kate Schulman

"WAFFLES!"
--Mary Kate (This is, like, her trademark quote)

Nicole: Seriously, Gwen, it's only a matter of time before you start putting Green Day pictures on everything...
Me: Are you kidding me? That would mean I'd have to get rid of all my YuGiOh pictures!
Nicole: --;...

Terrance Anderson: I AM BAKURA! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!
Me: Yeah, yeah--quiet down, tomb robber, before I have to kick your butt for the fifty bazillionth time.
Terrance: (grumbles) I despise you...
Me: You sound too much like Crocker to be Bakura. Make up your mind who you are--preferrably, before we go trick-or-treating.
Terrance: ...Shut up...
(Halloween of 2004--I was dressed as Yami, and Terrance was Akefia Bakura.)

"Look, it works like this. If you kill yourself, then I'll kill myself--just so I can come after you and kill you again!"

--Me

"You're starting to look more like a girl than a board."
--Mom

Me: Lockhart, being his oh-so-helpful self, removed his bones.
Stuart: Oh... Wait, how is that being helpful?

Cameryn (Kaetlyn's little brother): (dangles plushie in front of my face) What do you smell?
Me: ...I smell plushie.
Cameryn: ...What's plushie?

Mom: I need to run out the door for a few minutes.
Stuart: Don't run into it!

This chapter was really good! And angsty... But good! And angsty... But I liked it!

--Me (in a PM to Keely's cousin)

Nicole: Miriku-chan, you are such a moron...
Me: But I'm your moron!

Me: Uh, let me see...there's Yami, of course, with the Puzzle...Mahaad with the Ring...Seto with the Rod...Akenadin (the evil priest!) with the Eye...Kharim and Shadaa, and I can't remember which one has the Scales and the Key...uh...Necklace. Who am I forgetting?
Stuart: What about Isis? Mmm, Icees...
(This was just so completely random, I had to put it up.)

"Why are you using Life Drain on the skeletons? They're just skin and bones! ...Actually, they're just bones!"
--Stuart (while we were playing Dark Aliance 2)

Me: (after watching the JibJab clip 'Second Term') 'Bury the old hatchet', eh? Well, first I'd need a hatchet. Then I'd need someone's skull to bury it in...
Stuart: Why don't you use Bush?
Me: ... (thinking) 'Hmm...that's actually a pretty good idea...'

(inside the clip 'Second Term')
Group of Random People:Good God, he's coming back to serve a second term!
Me: (thinking) '"Good God" is right...'

"Lalala, I'm not lis--wait, what did you say?"
--Me

"...I meant to do that..."
--Me

"Are you mad at me? I haven't done anything! ...Yet!"
--Terrance C.

Me: I am not a pyro! I just like watching things burn!
Amy Lentz: ...And setting them on fire yourself.
Me: And setting them on fire mys-- Heyy!

"I shall now smite you with my almighty...uh...stick?"
--Me (I was playing a game called Hero Quest with my little brother. One of my characters, the Wizard, has a staff and only one Attack Die, as opposed to the Chaos Warrior he was fighting, which has four Attack and Defense Dice. Can we all say 'fried Wizard'?)

"ZOMGWTF...is Danny wearing...pink nightclothes? What the heck!"
--Me

"Okay, so I've already used up four packets of tabs...and there were eight in each packet...so that means...I have...thirty-six? Omigod, thirty six st--no! Wait! Thirty-two! HAH! Eight times four is thirty-two, not thirty-six! I'm such an idiot..."
--Me

"If the Barbarian is smart, he'll stay where he is and let the Mummy come to him. Then again, the Barbarian is not smart. ...It also is no longer the Barbarian's turn... Okay, yeah, I'm finished, go ahead and roll."
--Me (Once again, playing Hero Quest with my brother)

"We are all the same in our uniqueness!"
--Me

Stuart: Can I have some more chicken?
Mom: (sigh) You can have a couple more pieces.
Stuart: How much is a couple?
Me: Two.
Stuart: Why two?
Dad: Because--
Me: Because three is a love triangle and four is an orgy.
Mom/Dad: (stares at me)
Me: ...Did I just say that out loud? Whoops...

"You could almost be the Barbarian. I mean, you're hard-headed enough..."
--Me

Me: ...Why is the Wizard attacking the Gargoyle?
Stuart: Because he hangs out with the Barbarian too much.

"If it weren't for the Wizard, the Barbarian would be running into the room and getting slaughtered. (imitates man's voice) Heel, big guy, heel! Good boy. --Nah-ah! Hey! Stay! ...Good Barbarian. You get to kill the Orcs later."
--Me

"HOYEAH! THAT is what I'm talkin' about! Don't MESS with the pharaoh!"
--Me

"...(points at shirt, which has the Millennium Puzzle and 'Miriku' on it) Uh, I have the pharaoh on my side. Are you sure you wanna mess with me?"
--Me (My friend Zach Newell was being annoying, and I scared him off...XD)

"Oh, crud, it's the scary page..."
--Me (I was re-reading Endymion Spring for just about the fifty bazillionth time. There are two pages that are completely black, with the words "I am watching" the first time and "I am waiting" the second time. Those...really freaked me out.)

"HEYY! I didn't say you could touch that! Go buy your own copy--this baby's mine!"
--Me (Multiple people have tried to run off with Endymion Spring while I wasn't looking. Stupid people ought to know I wouldn't let anyone hurt any of my books, 'specially not one as cool as this one...)

Stuart: Hey, how come you get to duel with the Duel Disc?
Me: (waves Duel Disc in his face) Because it's mine!

Maureen-sensei: All right, so what do you do when someone attacks you with a sword?
Margaret: Run away?
(This is sort of a running joke in my aikido class.)

Diana Hornik: Roxas says hi.
Me: Tell him I know about his secret crush on Axel. No, wait, come back! I'm kidding!

Me: You know, I just noticed something. Roxas is Sora with the letters scrambled and an X thrown in!
Diana: No, really?
Me: (rolls eyes) You're ruining the moment!

"cept... well... yeah. See, the Bakura fangirls'll be used to that and will be immune... yeah. So, they'll all become Yami-fangirls... yeah. And Yami can't protect you by sending them to the Shadow realm because as I said kanina, they're immune... yeah. therefore... in conclusion, you'll have hordes of screaming jealous fangirls that can't be sent to the Shadow Realm, courtesy of Bakura and the Millennium Ring... yeah. My condolences, hun."
--Ziq Pedrosa (By-product of a random discussion we've been having over E-mail.)

Me: The Wizard can not be that stupid. It's absolutely impossible.
Stuart: I told you already, he hangs out with the Barbarian too much.
Me: But not even the Barbarian would do something that stupid!
Stuart: ...Good point...

"FYI--just because he's my little brother doesn't mean he gets special treatment, Believe you me, I've chewed his butt out more than once and made him fix stuff."
--Me (Someone in this RP I made on GAIA Online was complaining that I'm too easy on Stuart. I don't yell at him on the forums, I yell at him in real life.)

"Happy Axel Day! WORSHIP THE RED-HEAD!"
--Me

"It's Roxas Day, it's Roxas Day! YAAY!"
--Diana and Me (We sang this while dancing in circles in the gym. Our teachers were frightened.)

"Where did the rainbowfied porcupine go? Erm...I mean, the Pharaoh..."
--SSCeles (We were having a random discussion, during which Yami popped in and then out...)

"Lovely, cheerful, evil spirits, aren't they?"
--Mary Kate

Wonnykins (RPing as Gary Oak): I'm surprised we haven't run into anyone yet. Usually that damn Team Rocket is around here somewhere.
Me (RPing as Ash): Maybe they're on vacation, too...
(PM RP on GAIA. Need I say more?)

NymusAnon: I prefer Sesshomaru, but despite his rough-and ready attitude, Inuyasha does have his charming moments...
DemonPrinceLaharl: ...When he's not being as blunt as a two-by-four, anyways.

"Crapola...that's...like...a molestation waiting to happen..."
--Me

Hated Pairings

None! There are a couple that I just get freaked out reading (like Tabloidshipping, for instance--Kaiba x Mokuba) and pretty much avoid. But I don't hate any of them.
