I'm 16 and am in Year 12, am overly sarcastic and usually very happy (as you can see from the amount of smileys in my writing (well, not the actual stories!!) :D)

I love to read and write. I also love playing the piano. I don't watch TV at all except for Family Guy. I don't really like using the phone because I feel awkward :)

Favourite Books: anything by Nora Roberts (especially the ... in Death series!), Stravaganza Series, Artemis Fowl, Alex Rider series, The Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons, Deception Point, The Princess Bride, Velocity, A Clockwork Orange, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Perfume, The Shining (and anything Stephen King) and The Devil Wears Prada, just to name a few. From the book titles, you can guess that I have an eclectic taste :)

Favourite Manga/Anime: Bleach, Chobits, Faeries Landing, Fruits Basket, Hana-kimi, Love or Money, Naruto... I can't think of any more at the moment!

Favourite Movies: Analyse This, Analyse That, Back to the Future Trilogy, Closer, The Day After Tomorrow, Dead Poets Society, Dirty Dancing, Ever After, Father of the Bride Part I and Part II, Gladiator, How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, Ice Age, The Lake House, The Life of Brian, Miss Congeniality, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Minority Report, Moulin Rouge, Mr. Bean's Holiday, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride & Prejudice, The Princess Bride, The Producers, Rush Hour I and II, Shanghai Noon, Shanghai Knights, anything with Jackie Chan in it actually, She's the Man, Spider-Man, Star Wars, Strictly Ballroom, Superman series, Superman Returns, Troy, V For Vendetta and all the X-Men movies... those were just a few... probably the ones I think are best

I can also speak Chinese and I live in Brisbane, Australia...

If you want to know something about me just send me a message and I will answer it and/or post it here :) (unless you're a stalker ...)

Current Stories I'm Working On:

~ Untitled Story (Teen Romance) -- Chapter 1

~ Untitled Story (Action/Romance) -- Chapter 1

I have had a couple of stories in my head... but I didn't put any up until just recently... because I wasn't really confident enough... But then I thought what the hey... and it turns out people are actually reading them, and LIKING them! Not a lot of people, but I'm seriously shocked, let me tell you!

SO PLEASE R&R! I need the encouragement! And please refrain from throwing tomatoes at me!

Update: I have finally decided to put up a few of my short stories up. Perfection may develop into more than a one-shot though.
