![]() Author has written 2 stories for Death Note. Hello, all! Gosh... I haven't filled out a profile in ages... uhm... well, for starters, my name is Annie, and my username is a sort of spin-off from Thomas Hardy's novel, Far from the Madding Crowd. I am 20 years-of-age, and I am currently a freshman in college - Latin major, English minor. If you're a reader of "Ephemeris Silenti" by the gorgeous The Philosopher's Queen, I help her with her Latin. uhm... I am a bit of an introvert... actually, scratch that; I am an introvert, but that's okay. I'm in the pre-law program at my school, so I naturally have no life. (My plan is to enter law school after I get out of undergrad school IF I get a good LSAT score, and study criminal law, and EVENTUALLY become a prosecutor. Will that actually happen? Who knows. My back-up plan is to go to graduate school for classics and become a Latin professor.) Aside from school (... IS there anything aside from school?), I really do love to read, and I did jump on the Twilight bandwagon with half of America (and half of the world, probably) when Stephenie Meyer published the first book. However, I never became totally obsessed with it all. I also enjoy reading "true crime" books, as well. They fascinate me to no end - especially forensic psychology. And psychopathology. XD DEATH NOTE = WIN. (random statement, I know.) love the anime, love the manga. (But I tend to favor the manga more, simply because I'd rather read something than watch it.) I would probably have to say that my favorite character is Light (yeah, sorry, everyone). I tend to rp as Light (and therefore Kira), Ryuk, Mello, Mikami, Beyond (from the spin-off novel Another Note, in case some of you didn't know), and... well, those are the main ones. Any others are random secondary characters. Also, I absolutely LOVE John Knowles' A Separate Peace, and I WILL ship Finny and Gene. Yes, they are straight in the novel. But that does not mean that I particularly care. I am also in favor of reviving the ASP part of this site, as it's been dead for quite some time now. This place needs more ASP fanfics! BELOW THIS LINE: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. (I'm warning you... it gets lengthy, and some of you may consider it irrelevant.) Also aside from school, I am religious - Catholic, to be exact. Now, don't go harping on me about how lame I must be just because of this fact. I know that many people don't like other people just because those "other people" happen to be Catholics. That's stupid and, quite frankly, immature. As I am quite sure there's at least ONE person out there who's mind is swimming with the inevitable stereotypical thoughts about Catholics, I will dedicate the following space to The Four Inevitable Questions: Q: Catholicism isn't Christianity. Q: OMG you're against gay rights! YOU ARE SO PREJUDICED/EVIL/WRONG/insert personal favorite word of derogatoratory value here! Q: uhm... Catholics pray to Mary. That's kind of... .;; it's awkward ... You're supposed to pray to God and Jesus. At least, that's what we do. Q: Why do you pray to statues? ... There are usually more, but those are usually the four biggies. |
