Name: JauntyChick, or Mary-Lou.
Birthday: 31st October.
Ethnicity: Half Scottish, Half Irish, and I live in Ireland.
Hair: Brown, but very reddish.
Eyes: Black, almost. But mostly brown...and I have a scar on my left eyebrow from falling onto a table when I was three. I'm very fond of it!

Books: Al Capone Does My Shirts by Ginnifer Choldenko, Nancy Drew, Mary-Higgins-Clark, The Diary Of Anne Frank, Holes by Louis Sachar was amazing! JK Rowling, Adriana Trigiani, Danielle Steele, Nicholas Sparks, Robert Swindells and PG Wodehouse. Not forgetting the brilliance that is LM Montgomery, who wrote the 'Anne' series. Amazing descriptions, fantastic names and wonderful plots and characters. So, all of those, too. Barack Obama's memoirs - 'Dreams From My Father' - were amazing. The Twilight books were really good, too. And, fictional or otherwise, Edward Cullen rocks.

TV Shows: House MD, CSI: Las Vegas, LOST, Dawson's Creek, Ugly Betty, Nuse Jackie, Desperate Housewives, CSI: New York, Pushing Daisies, The Waltons, Jeeves and Wooster, and 7th Heaven, and Criminal Minds is good, but a wee bit scary. How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Frasier - all fantastic. I watch a lot of news, too.

Theatre: Okay, went to see The Woman In Black on Wednesday the 1st of October and it was...epic. In fact, it was so uberly amazing, that I don't think there has a been a word invented yet to describe it's brilliance! She, herself, was the scariest thing I've ever witnessed. There's a specific part where she walks from the back of the theatre, down the stairs and onto the stage. Creepy. Now, The Tammy Wynette Story was good, too. She had five husbands, and she was played by my auntie-in-law.

Films: The Notebook, The Halloween Tree - film of my youth!, True Vinyl, Cloverfield, Moulin Rouge, Hellboy, Doc Hollywood, Win A Date With Tad Hamilton, Keeping The Faith, How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days, Hocus Pocus, Beaches, Singin' In The Rain, Calamity Jane, Anne Of Green Gables, Batman Begins/The Dark Knight, Weird Science, Shadows in the Sun, Spanglish, The American President, Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, Starter For Ten, 27 Dresses, Rain Man, The Breakfast Club, Sweet Home Alabama, Enchanted, Hitch, Bubble Boy, Old School, Frieda, Dead Poets Society, Uptown Girls, Harry Potter, Atonement, Scent Of A Woman, The Sure Thing, and Spring and Port Wine, which, by the way, was perfectly cast despite what anyone says. James Mason rocks!

Article of Clothing: A midnight blue t-shirt, and my pink furry boots. Or any furry boots for that matter.

Favourite/Least Favourite Things About Yourself: Uh, I don't right think there's anything I dislike. Nope. Nada. Zilch. Can't complain. I love my fringe. Oh, but I do have the unfortunate ability to say completely the wrong thing. Well, not the wrong thing, but the most confusing things when I'm trying to describe stuff and then I can completely stop right in the middle of it..., yes, I ramble too much, as well! Everything else is dandy :D

Colour: Pink, minty green, periwinkle. I adore blue houses.

Foodstuff: Anything Italian. Pasta and pizza, especially. But I love vegetables and fruit, too. I don't eat chocolate, or take carbonated soft drinks. I have told myself that I'm allergic. I've started drinking tea, too. One sugar, three milk :D

Season: Random! Summer, I suppose. Not a huge fan of winter, cause it's a bit cold, but snow is uber-pretty. Meh, I like them all equally! OH! But I do not like hayfever...

Animal: Cats. Dogs scare me. So do birds...I don't trust them!

Actors/Actresses: Oooh, a few. Eric Szmanda, James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Rachel McAdams, Adam Sandler, Keira Knightley, Vince Vaughn, Robert Pattinson, Salma Hayek, Doris Day, David Caruso, Jennifer Morrison, Edward Norton, Eva Mendes, Will Smith, Reese Witherspoon. Jake Gyllenhaal, John Cusack, Dustin Hoffman, Rock Hudson, Al Pacino. OH! Neil Patrick Harris! The man is legendary.

Music: By far, at the moment, Panic! At The Disco! They are amazing. Brendon Urie's vocals are just fabulous.
Apart from that, The Killers, Sam Cooke, Blink 182, Blondie, FallOut Boy, The Beatles, Hall&Oates, Jason Mraz, Elliot Minor, a wee bit of P!nk, Paramore, Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, The Smiths, McFly, and Michael Jackson. I can also be kinda partial to country and western music. Dolly Parton, especially. Favourite songs ever...hmm...'Love is a Battlefield' by Pat Benetar. Epic stuff. EVERYBODY should listen to those songs at least once in their life! There are some truly, truly odd things on my MP3 Player ranging from 80s cheese to slight-metal. And bagpipes. I adore bagpipes. And Liberace. Anything but rap.

Disclaimer: I do not own CSI, CSI Miami, House MD, LOST or anything else I may write about either now or in the future. I do own Allie Moore and her weird family and friends, and Jessica Lucas and her crazy parental unit. Addison Craig and Clover O' Malley are mine, too, but updating them might be a wee bit tough cause I have a job and I have quite a few fanfiction endeavours going on, so just in case anyone thinks I've abondoned them, I definitely have not, and I have oodles of plot bunnies for them :D
Ahem, and all the rest belong to very high-powered, very cool people. Any mistakes are purely my own because I type too fast for my own good.
And Gema227 definitely deserves a mention on here for being extremely cool. Nikki rocks! And Michelle, and Kel, because they're both uber.
OH! AND!! Thank you SO much to everyone that has faithfully reviewed my work...I love all of them dearly :D

OTHER NOTAGE: Okay, me and Nikki1984 - brilliant wee lady that she is!! - are co-writing a CSI: Miami, Ryan/OC fic called 'Whatever Love Means', and we would be super-happy if ya'll reviewed it...pretty please?! Pwease? Here's the linkie; http://www.fanfiction.ws/s/4341757/1/Whatever_Love_Means Please leave a review!! And also, Nikki, squee! You are the bomb ;D

New Note as of 6th October 2009!: Hi! I have not updated in AGES and it's awful! I work a lot, and so I have no time for writing, although I do still read a lot, but I'd love to apologise to everyone who's still reviewing my fics and waiting patiently on an update...I am SO sorry! I have no clue when I'll get an update out, but hopefully it'll happen, so just cross your fingers and hope for the best :D

NOTE: I don't write slash, femslash, smut or anything of the like. None of my ratings are higher than T. I don't read any of the above, either in case you're wondering. I do write a ton of fluff, though. I love fluff! I like BETAing, also and I tend to use italics way too much.

Have a great rest of the day,
JauntyChick
XOX :D
