Well, I'm Pheonixflower-the-Immortal, and welcome to my profile, I guess...
Anyway, about me...
Name: Unavailable
Age: Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway.
Likes: reading, writing, fencing, singing, playing piano (I haven't had lessons since I was, like, 8, yet I can play music from Sweeney Todd. I am just that good. Though, of course, this is mostly because we learned how to read music in choir, and I just paired that with what I remembered from my lessons... which was basically just where Middle C is on the keyboard.), daydreaming, debating, eating sausage-and-mushroom pizza (especially with friends), eating Mexican food (especially with family), drinking hot chocolate, hot mint tea, or hot cider on cold winter days, chatting with my friends on gchat, making fun of people who use chatspeak in anything besides a chatroom or a text message (the one exception to this is the spelling of "fear" as "ph33r", because that just looks really cool), the books Good Omens, What Happened to Lani Garver, and Godless (If you haven't read them, you seriously should. They all have some religion-based aspects, but they all offer really different views.)
Dislikes: super-femmes (a.k.a. girly-girls), overconfident people, people who think you're conceited just because you're confident (remember, confidence is a GOOD thing unless you overdose on it), bad spelling/grammar, flaming, flamers, pepperoni, bell peppers, people who use chatspeak in stories, people who shove their beliefs down your throat, anyone who is against gay rights
General: I'm your average adolescent Californian (or at least, average for fanfiction and fictionpress). I'm from the middle-northern part of the state, where it's usually cloudy/windy/rainy/all of the above for a majority of the year, and then the rest of the year is blinding sun and heat waves. I put my feelings into writing, particularly things that frustrate me. I enjoy romance stories, know the difference between shonen-ai and yaoi (yes, there is one. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is.), and am extremely literal. I am quite intelligent, took three advanced classes last year, and had a lot of fun in all of them (then they got rid of the extra classes that made up two of those advanced classes, so now I'm only in advanced math). I like rain far better than sun, and love winter. I have a terrible sweet tooth. I adore living in my state-- I personally feel that there is nothing you can't find somewhere in California besides really good pasta. I go to the Renaissance Faire every year, and sometimes I even go in costume. I enjoy going downtown with friends. I love dark rock /metal music (such as Evanescence or WT) and old pop, like Abba or the Beatles. I am a devoted fan of Hayao Miyazaki (but then again, who isn't??), and have seen all his films that I know of besides My Neighbor Totoro. I never go anywhere without my black book bag and my custom necklace from the Renaissance Faire. I took up foil fencing about 14 months ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed the workout it gives me. I view guys as friends rather than potential crushes, and a lot of people think I'm weird for that. I am a fairly convincing actress, provided I make up the lines myself... so I guess you could just say I'm a really good liar. I firmly believe that Good Omens is the greatest book ever written, and this might have something to do with my unshakable atheism. Due to the fact that I love Good Omens, you can probably tell that I don't mind shonen-ai pairings, and actually sometimes ship them (AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY ARE GAY EVEN IF SUPERNATURAL ENTITIES ARE TECHNICALLY SEXLESS AND THEY WERE NEVER SPECIFICALLY CALLED A COUPLE IN THE BOOK! It's implied a million times through the thoughts of other characters, so it counts!) (Yeah, I'm a bit of an Aziraphale/Crowley shipper... heh...). Overall; I'm NORMAL.
Also Known As: Dancer of the Wind on fanfiction. Dancing-in-the-Stars on DeviantART. Elara on Youtube. I also have a website right... here.
General Warnings:
I probably won't be on this site very often.
I often give concrit (constructive criticism) in reviews, so if you can't handle anything besides "0MG0SH3RZ UR TH3 B3ST WR1T3R 3VR Z0MG 1 LUV U!!1!!eleven!!" then just ignore me, but don't accuse me of flaming. I hate when people mistake concrit for flaming.
The average review from me goes like one of the following: 1: "Wow. That was incredibly sweet." 2: "That was good, but here are some points I thinks you could work on..." (points I think you could work on) 3: "Oh my God! That was awesome! Here are some parts that clued me in..." (long, rambling dissection of the entire story) 4: "Nononono! (random song) doesn't go like THAT! Being the overly-obsessed freak that I am, here are the correct lyrics: (correct lyrics)"
I have filters and I know how to use them!
I sometimes insult people without realizing it, so if I make an unnecessarily harsh comment and don't apologize for it, just tell me that I hurt your feelings and I'll either a) realize my mistake and make a million apologies or b) tell you I intended you to feel like that. (NOTE: I only use (b) when I'm angry with someone, so (a) is a much more common response.)
I'm an Aziraphale/Crowley fan. Don't insult it, it's one of my favorite pairings from any series. If you don't like shonen-ai, that's not my problem.
Info On My Stories and Poems: Sorry that I haven't been writing lately, I've just been totally swamped with schoolwork, and I've had no time to write. I've had well over an hour of homework each night, even more on the weekends, and on top of it all I have to write three articles for the school magazine (formerly literary magazine, now accepting artwork and news articles as well as stories and poems), edit said magazine, practice daily for choir, work on our Girl Scout projects, fence three days a week for up to two hours, shower, and still find time for doing fun things like working on my piano playing, catching up on Bones and NCIS episodes, writing, or reading. However, my next update is probably going to be the start of an expansion of a short story I'm writing for Language Arts. It's supposed to be two or three pages, but the concept I came up with was just so fun that I can't resist writing more about it. Luckily we have a ton of breaks in November and December, so I should start updating again soon.
Quote of Whenever I Update This: "When you're a kid, all you can think about is being in high school. When you're in high school, all you can think about is being in college. When you're in college, all you can think about is being an adult. And when you're an adult, all you can think about is being a kid again. LIFE FUCKING SUCKS."--That Guy With The Glasses
Fact of Whenever I Update This: Rats can have sex up to twenty times in one day.
Useful Tip of Whenever I Update This: The stupider a girl's name is, the more likely she is to beat the crap out of you if you annoy her about it.
Pairing I'm Currently Obsessed With: Crowley/Aziraphale, from Good Omens. W00T! PH33R T3H F4NG1RL1N3SS!!one!!1!!eleven!! (Deepest apologies for the chatspeak, I only use it for something I'm really obsessed with.)
