If you have any questions, email us at maxima.risen@, just sayin. the memory rise yahoo one is down. we lost the password

Our Profile picture has both Memory and Ginger. For those of you who don't know who's who, Mem is the dark haired one and Ginger is the strawberry blonde.

Okay, you will question my sanity after doing what I am about to ask you to do. Look up and find a copy of "This Is Not My Hat" by Jon Klassen. You will find a simple picture book. Then you will think I am crazy. But I ask of you one simple thing. Read the book before you judge. For the time it takes you to read it, just let your maturity go, and be a kid, just for a bit. You will see why I love that book so much. When I read it, I can't help but giggle at the adorableness of it all.

-Memory Rise

LET ME START BY SAYING THIS: I know I post a lot, and most of the stories on this blog are mine. (teehee) Keep in mind that not everything I post is going to be continued, as I'm running about five stories at the same time and some are just more interesting to me. As you've probably already noticed, I really like OC's. Like, a LOT. So if you're here lookin' for something with just the original characters, then GTFO. Just kidding.

-TRG (The Real Ginger)

side note: I will NOT update often, okay? I am one of those stereotypical Asians that do everything from music to sports and gets straight As, etc., and I must be good at everything. What does this mean to you dear readers? I AM BUSY AND HAVE A LIFE (this place rocks though) OUTSIDE OF FANFICTION.NET. I will update when I can, so I'm sorry if it takes forever. I have lots of ideas and plans, and I'm gonna finish off any stories I have started or tell you when they go on hiatus.

-Mem

The walls you build to keep out sadness, also keep out joy.

Hey people! Memory here (pen name) Call me Ren! It's a nickname my mom gave me, 'cause everyone we new in Japan called me Ren-Chan (don't call me that. It's reserved for only the specialest of people. Ginge, you can't call me that, since I'm older. and I will not treat you like Hunny-senpai.).

Here's my description, I guess:

Hair: Brown and short

Eyes: Almost light enough to be hazel... so dark hazel? It has a blue ring around the iris that I have always failed to notice only to have my sister to point it out...

Skin: Naturally tan

Heritage: Filipino, Spanish, American (by birth), and a smidgen Chinese

Height: I'm tall for a girl of any heritage for those people that expect all Asians to be short

Hobbies: Basketball, Violin, Painting, Anime/Manga, Gaming, Writing (songs, stories, and poetry), Singing (IDK if I'm any good. Most people like my singing and ask me why I don't do chorus-our chorus if full of snobs who think they're better than others 'cause they can 'sing *cough*lip singing*cough*- or "Why I don't try out for the musicals!"-They are all lame- or why I don't 'AT LEAST' perform in the Talent Show *blegh*)

Favorite Colors/Colours: Black, Dark Blue(s), Green, Grey, White

Favorite Bands (this is a long one): Good Charlotte, Greenday, Panic! at The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Boys Like Girls, 3 Doors Down, Evanescence, Three Days Grace, Social Distortion, Minor Threat, Black Veiled Brides, Avenged Sevenfold, the Wanted (don't be surprised. they're great!), Paramore, this could be a while...

Attitude: Kinda Pessimistic - Don't get your hopes up. That way if you succeed you feel amazing and if you fail you're not disappointed... Shut up and don't talk to me.

I don't like One Direction or Bieber or Big Time Rush, unlike my friend.

Favorite Food: Lumpia, Pansit, Mango, Champorado, Adobo, Sinigang, Chocolate (DARK!)

Favorite Show: CODE GEASS, Toshokan Sensō ("the Library Wars" Anime), Mythbusters (Need a reason? Check Ginger's reason then you'll know why), Adventure Time (I'm like Marceline xP), Soul Eater, Angel Beats, Ouran Highschool Host Club, Ojamajo/Magical Doremi

Favorite Manga: CODE GEASS, The Library Wars; Love and War by Kiiro Yumi, and any previously mentioned animes that have a manga

Favorite Book/Series: Maximum Ride (also love the manga series!), Harry Potter, Enchantress of(from?) the Stars, 100 Cupboards, Artemis Fowl, Hunger Games, PJO and Heroes of Olympus, The Airman, The Supernaturalists, Mysterious Benedict Society, books by Shannon Hale, the Divergent series, Graceling (really good book. Do read.), This Is Not My Hat, to be continued...

I'm a tomboy, punk, gothic, scene person. And I don't really like hugs, I'm allergic. Which is why Ginger feels successful whenever she gets a hug outta me. I went emo people. BUT NOW I AM GOOD AND CUT FREE.

I claim DTK, Lelouch Lamperouge/vi Britannia, and Akito Hyuga.

If life is easy, you're doing it wrong.

Pain is just weakness seeping out of your body.

First love never dies, but True love can bury it alive.

My knight in shining armor turned out to be a loser in tin foil.

So I decided to take this quiz thing from Ginger's part of the profile.

Here's mine!

I am completely in love this Death the Kid... I shouldn't have watched SE before this.

I am conservative and aggressive.

I try to enjoy life to the maximum and your love life is soon to

blossom. (my love life is non-existent)

The year will go very well for me and I will discover that I will

fall in love with someone totally unexpected.

My life will take on a different direction, it will seem hard at the time

but will be the best thing for me, and I will be glad for the change.

The Real Ginger is my best friend.

I will have 8 close friends in my life time. Stupid Asian lucky number.

I like adventure.

I am spontaneous and like to please people.

I wish that I could find my true path.

Stole this one ALSO from Ginge... Teehee...

1) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4. Quote it. Now!

'the cot flung open and three of the Thane's men emerged," -The Naming by Alison Croggon

2) Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What's there?

A small Taiko Drum.

3) What is the last thing you watched on TV?

The Nostradamus Effect. It had something to do with the Apocalypses and this one major scientist who predicted the world would end in 2060 or something. I don't remember his name right now.

4) Without looking, guess what time is it?

19:08 (7:08)

5) What time is it really?

19:07 (7:07. Damn! So close!)

6) With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?

Planes flying overhead, Evanescence.

7) When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

When I got home from school. I was bringing in my backpack and carrying some groceries in for my mum.

8) Before you started this survey, what were you looking at?

Angel Beats and Magical Doremi, two different animes. The second was my fave when I was a kid, but this is the American version. There's a Japanese version called Ojamajo Doremi, and I need to re-watch that. Look them up.

9) What are you wearing?

Capri sweatpants made by Roxy and my Star Wars tee.

10) Did you dream last night?

Yeah. I had one of my reoccurring dreams. See, I'm in this huge factory with these giant furnaces. And you guys remember that toy from when you were a kid where you had to fit the corresponding shape into the correct home? Lincoln Logs. So, each furnace has a hole with a different shape. And these huge tree trunks roll into to holes, as long as it's the right shape. But, if it tries to go into the wrong hole, alarms blare and the factory collapses. Then it restarts and keeps repeating until it transitions to the dream where you're falling. Strange, right?

11) When did you last laugh?

Truly? Yesterday, if I remember correctly.

12) What is on the floor of the room you're in?

A Taiko Drum on its stand, two other drums by it (from Asia, of course), a big, blue and white glass bowl full of ceramic blue and while orbs, and a small wooden bench from Japan. Then there are the chairs.

13) Seen anything weird lately?

My sister trying to dance to pop music.

14) What do you think of this quiz?

Am I really wasting my time on this?

15) What is the last film you saw?

The James Bond Movie, Diamonds Are Forever. Before that, Skyfall.

16) If you became a multi-millionare overnight, what would you buy?

Rights to Soul Eater, a modern home in Japan, and the sweetest electric guitar ever.

17) Tell me something about you that I don't know:

Well, if I tell you, then you would know!

18) If you could change one thing in the world, regardless of guilt and politics, what would it be?

Allowing people to fulfill their wildest dreams (i.e. Death the Kid would be real, and we would be bestest friends ;D)

19) Do you like to dance?

Yes. I find it hilarious to dance in front of a mirror and laugh at how terrible I am.

20) Imagine your first child is a girl; What do you name her?

I want to say a Japanese name, but I wouldn't want them to face controversy because of it, so I'm gonna go with Arian (?). But she would totally have a Japanese middle name.

21) Imagine your first child is a boy; What do you name him?

Leo, Landon, and possibly Ren (no I did not steal that from Ginger's profile. I truly like that name. It's one of my nicknames (:)

22) Would you ever consider living abroad?

I would love the chance to move back to Yokosuka. I used to live on the Naval Base there and I absolutely loved walking around Japan. There was this little coffee house down this ally way that was a coffee house-antique shop combo, with great scones, cocoa, tea, and the quirkiest little plates (I'm weird and into those kinda things, okay?).

23) What do you want to say to God when you reach the pearly white gates?

I would just bow my head and walk in out of fear I'll say something wrong. Then once inside, I'd hum the chorus for Paradise.

(// _) I'm out (Mem)

Fly on!

Konichiwa. Watashi wa Ginger-chan. Boku no Pico es no-no.

Welcome. Have a seat and a bowl of ramen. I enjoy your company.

Hair: Short(ish) and fiery orange. (Yes, I'm a ginger. Get over it. It's in the freakin pen name.)

Eyes: Big and brown.

Skin: Surprisingly tan, with freckles!! (You'll never be as tan as me, Ginge!- from Mem)

Hobbies: Anime, manga, video games, YouTube, Memecenter, drawing, writing, and Fanfiction. God, I need a life.

Favorite color: Purple. (It's the color of creativity!)

Favorite Ramen. *Slurp*

Height/weight: Tall(ish) and a little chubbier than I want to be.

Favorite band: PARAMOOOOOOOORE. Also Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, Evanescence, and The Offspring.

Favorite book: Harry Potter, Mysterious Benedict Society, How to Rock Braces and Glasses (NOT the show. The show SUCKS.), Maximum Ride, and Al Capone Does My Shirts.

Favorite video games: The Last of Us, Pom Gets Wi-Fi, Beyond: Two Souls, Team Fortress 2, and Ib.

Agh... summaries... y u no easy...? But I guess I'd describe myself as a stubborn, sassy, ninja-stealth otaku. I'm a hopeless romantic and an extremely dedicated fangirl who would love nothing more than to get herself into a heated conversation about anime. I'm always in some sort of fight with my mom, so my priveledges are always gone. I can't wait to move out. Mom says that I wouldn't last a day on my own, but I have everything planned out. As long as I have my guitar and my anime, I'll survive. I'm an atheist who goes to a Catholic school, and I'm always in trouble. I transferred from a quote-unquote "ghetto school" so there's always someone on my back. I have strong opinions and a big mouth, which doesn't help my situation.

I think I'm good for now. Here are some of my favorite quotes, from anything random songs to anime.

The world's not perfect, but it's there for us trying the best it can. That's what makes it so damn beautiful.

-Roy Mustang, Fullmetal Alchemist

Dance, fucker. Dance.

-You're Gonna Go Far Kid, The Offspring

Where is hell, do you know? It's right here, in my head.

-Crona Gorgon, Soul Eater

When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them.

-Lemony Snicket
