A/N 02.03.09:

As you can see, I have already updated. Quite a long wait hehe...sorry about that. I've decided to just post the chapters by increments. I've been feeling guilty actually for making you all wait.

Chap 18 will be up soon. I'll see you then! (:

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction, ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

- "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost

Me in a nutshell - instant idiot: just add alcohol.

Adam and Eve ate the apple but we planted a whole orchard.

I smoke, it's like oxygen to me, and I drink, to the point of AA level. My closest friends told me I'll die early. I'll worry about that when I'm 40.

Random Facts: I like to pinch people. My pinchees immediately think they're fat when I act upon the habit. They're not fat. I just like pinching that's all; it's my fucked up way of being affectionate :) I love to sing. I dream of being a drummer in a band. Girl drummers are so cool. I'm addicted to Ruffles Cheddar n' Sour Cream. ADDICTED.

Pet Peeves: pop-ups, spyware, email forwards (aaarrgghhh!), drivers who don't drive fast on the fast lane, idiots, chauvinists, posers, people who don't respect their parents and grandparents (hey I can be traditional), misguided beings who think they're better than the rest and strangers/acquaintances who invade my personal space. 18 cm from my body - that's as far as you're going to get. I value my bubble. So shoot me ;p

Movies: Too many faves to mention. I'm a big fan of Kevin Smith films though (movies for the bored and senseless). I could watch stupid movies all day (e.g. Mallrats, Dude Where's My Car, etc.). That doesn't mean I don't like watching neo-intellectual brain-splitting films but I'd rather laugh my head off than stress over twisted plots.

TV: That '70s Show, CSI and CSI: NY, Charmed, Sex and The City, Friends, Will & Grace, 24, Prison Break (Wentworth you are a god...), One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, Gossip Girl, American Idol and anything I catch on TV when I get off work.

Music: I can take almost all genres of music...But of course I have my favorites :) - Urbandub, U2, 311, The Cranberries, Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, The Used, The Killers, Boys Like Girls, Paramore, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Skunk Anansie, Kate Havnevik, Sarah McLachlan, instrumental bits from OSTs (perfect thinking music) and '80s shit for videoke hehe...

Books: The Tribes of Palos Verdes, The Bridges of Madison County, Love Story, Virgin Suicides, Memoirs of A Geisha, Sphere, Flipped (the best!), High Fidelity, The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, If Tomorrow Comes, Twilight series, Memnoch The Devil and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy.

To tell you honestly, I stopped reading romance novels because they remind me of my love life (or lack thereof). So why write about it? Hell if I know.
