Hello everyone. I am Niph Speaks, the undead writer of haikus and poetry that will someday make it to this site.
Why am I undead? Because I write something, then disappear for maybe a month at a time. Gets you wondering of my whereabouts, eh? Never fear. Most likely, I shall be alive and well...and bogged down in homework.
I suppose you wish for me to tell a bit about myself. Alright.
I live in the USA, Las Vegas, Nevada. *nods* Yes, I am a MK (military kid).
And I have to say the Air Force rocks. ^^
I am a Christian, a Presbyterian to be exact. I've been saved by Jesus for 10 years now, and it amazes me to look back on those years and see how much I've changed.

Anime/Manga:
I love Rurouni Kenshin, DBZ, Lord of the Rings, the manga Rurouni Kenshin, Ranma 1/2, Spirited Away, (any of Miyazaki's work, really), Inuyasha, Kare Kano, Fruits Basket, Megatokyo (a webcomic), DN Angel, and Fushigi Yuugi.
Recently I've gotten into scanslations, which is manga that has not been licensed that is being released OH SO GRACIOUSLY over the internet.
~Yakitate! Japan (Snoopycool.com)
~Shinsengumi Imon Peacemaker (mangacity.net)
~Renka (mangacity.net)
~Kingdom Hearts (aku-tenshi.com)
~Puchimon (aku-tenshi.com)
~Sensei!! (sakura-crisis.net)
~Yamada Taro (sakura-crisis.net)
And many others.

I used to be on neopets, and my sn is niphredilthehobbit89, hence the name niph speaks.
I also roleplay, which is highly entertaining on a boring day.
People:
I must say hi to a couple great people:
Hippy Hobbit- meh hobbitish friend who has a great hobbit fanfic dedicated to me on ff.net, and is my ongoing roleplay partner!

takeme2thehavens- my dear estie, now turned estietheevilhobbit, who has some poems and songs you should really check out.

Heart of Sword- a wonderful and faithful reviewer of haikus

Princess Mulan- One of the first to ever review my haikus. Your praise kept me going, thank you so much!

AbunaiChikara- My dear friend from a past school who derserves such a bigger statement than what I've had up here for like, months.
Chikara is an amazing Christian who uses her talents or writing stanza haikus to reach out to other writers on this site. I know I envy her sometimes, but I'm sure God will find a way to use me that I may not ever expect, be it not writing. Praise God for you, Chikara! ^^
and to all of my friends scattered about the world, I offer a big hug and a hello.
Esther: A great friend who has (with the great help of the Holy Spirit) helped kick me into who I am today. And I'm grateful. Now you're in Houston.
News:
There is no news. I said I would be back, but my muse has run away again. How disenheartening.
