Hello, and welcome to my profile! If you're reading this ... chances are you're pretty bored.

So, you've checked out my profile, i see. Well, technically i don't, but common sense tells me i do ;) Generally by doing that it either means

a) You think i'm a good writer and therefore want to know more about me which would be very flattering xD

b) You're just randomly selecting profile in hopes of a laugh, or, you know ... good quotes? which i don't do. At all! -shifty look-

c) You need to PM me. Which would probably make the most sense ... so, naturally, i list it last. Who needs sense in this day and age?

ANYway, you're reading my profile, so i hope you enjoy it xD Nice, aren't I? Just so you know ... this computer has firmly decided against underlining things ... so i'm going to make an underline-less profile. You know. In case you were wondering. Which you probably weren't ...

/profile intro

About me:

I'm a writer in the teenager years - fifteen, to be exact, though i hear i write like someone way older. I enjoy writing and i guess i'm fairly good at it, but i never considered myself a writer until quite recently. I only started writing less than a year ago, but i've been addicted ever since. Right now i'm experimenting with all sorts of writing ... i would love to be a published author, but i'm not sure that will ever happen so i'm sticking to FictionPress for now ;)

About me as a person (which you probably aren't at all interested in, but hey, you've started me rambling and i haven't got a clue when i'll shut up) ... well, you could say i'm different. I defy all stereotypes, for one thing, so i'd like to see someone classify me into one (Stereotypes suck. Let's make it that clear). I'm Egyptian (possibly the only bookworm in Egypt with the exception of my best friend). I'm a serious writer but an even more serious artist. I'm a nerd: i read anything within grabbing distance, i'm a straight-A student even though i rarely study, and i'm into things like SpongeBob and i hate Facebook. But at the same time i'm also incredibly talkative, pretty popular and i'm not particularly ugly or anything.

Now i live in the Middle East and i absolutely hate, hate, HATE the terrorist stereotype. I'm Middle Eastern (well, Egyptian, really, we're the jokers of the Arab world) .. i'm bilingual and a half (i speak Arabic and English fluently and i can get by in French - plus i do accents! xD), i watch TV, i chill with my friends and i'm just like anybody else. We're all the same really, and if people judge without confirmation then that's absolutely ridiculous. Yeah, that's my plea for equality xD One of the reasons i enjoy writing and FP in particular is because i like to think my stories educate people a bit. They're fiction but there's always alot based on fact and i think it's important that you learn something from every little thing you read. I mean, i can write a story about any American high school perfectly, normal or otherwise (90210, anyone?) but i'm willing to bet 30 of the people reading this don't even know Egyptians speak Arabic - NO WE DO NOT SPEAK HEIROGLYPHIC! xD (hot-headed? us?!) ... so yeah, i'm kind of making it personal to give you guys a cultural education before my reign on FP is over ;)

Moving on ... i'ma do a bio thing now xD

Name: You may call me Bingo xD

Birthdate: I already told you my age, dearies, but my birthday is August eleventh.

Location: Somewhere in sunny pyramid-land.

Likes: Books, moosic, doggies, movies, books ... have i mentioned books? Yeah, i did.

Dislikes: ... why am i doing this again? Oh. Profile. Right.

Describe your personality: There aren't words.

Favorite Series/Author(s): Ahh deep breath Harry Potter (those of you who compare Twilight to Harry Potter have sadly suffered some hormonal damage but i am sure you guys will see the light soon), Artemis Fowl, Airman and the Wish List by Eoin Colfer, Maximum Ride by James Patterson (although it is steadily declining), Alex Rider and the Power of Five by Anthony Horowtz, Pendragon by DJ MacHale, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (yeah, i can't believe it either but it doesn't entirely suck) by the-woman-whose-name-escapes-me, the Mediator, All American Girl I and Teen Idol by Meg Cabot, The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud, Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy, The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix, the Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, Nancy Farmer, Stephen King, Agatha Christie ... yeah, all that jazz

Favorite TV Show(s): CSI (Vegas and NY, although Miami should catch up soon), HEROESS!! (Hiro Nakamura!!), House (try watching it with four certified doctors in the room), Monk, Ugly Betty, America's Funniest Home Videos, the Biggest Loser (there's little more satisfying than watching other people do all the hard work ... plus i like before/afters xD), American Idol (sadly), So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent (even more sadly, waiting for the British version to air here already...), and last but not least alot of random shows xD How specific.

Favorite Site(s): I'm on the Anthony Horowitz messageboard, and if you're a fan of good ole AH, you should definitely check it out! I'm also on FanFiction (though i'm not very fond of it...) as Not Bingo and Death's Writers although mostly i use it for parodies about Alex Rider, Harry Potter and the Power of Five. If you're interested, checkitout! --> http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4444729/1/The_Longest_Short_Story_Ever

Awesome People: My friends MadCatta and Jayd Scarlett are also authors on this site, and i seriously recommend their work. Jayd's http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2702941/1/Toms_Journey is a truly fantastic read, and if you're depressed and feel like laughing you MUST read her http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2715155/1/Crazy_is_What_Crazy_do. MadCatta's a whiz with parodies as well so if you're into FanFiction, check out her profile!

Although generally awesome people also include my awesome reviewers and even more awesome bestie, Tia/Misplaced Angel xD

So About My Stories:

Yea, i thought that was enough about me already xD My stories, huh? Well ... i used have two on here, but the old one wasn't very good and needed revision, so the current one i have on is:

The Story You Shouldn't Know - yes, it's the Story that defied all possible summaries! I can tell you a small bit of what it's about, though. It's about a girl named Anna who's been destined for something extraordinary ever since birth, although nobody would ever truly know what until the day she meets Josh. Josh is cool, Josh is cute - but Josh is also very, very evil and he's about to put Anna through hell and back again. Oh, and another little thing.

Josh is also the devil.

Yup, that's pretty much all i'm allowed to say. I can honestly say, however, that this story is unlike anything you have ever read on Fictionpress, or even on the bookshelves. If there's one thing i'm proud of about it, it's that it's original. It's as uncliche and unexpected as a romance can get, and hopefully it's enjoyable to read. It also seems to have been pretty popular on FP - the most popular thing i've ever written at an rate It's long, but it has over 10, 000 hits and 393 reviews (yeah, i'm kind of in shock at that), so ... um, go read it! xD And review, please! I'm a review junkie!

The Story is updated very regularly, by the way, with usually less than week-long intervals. However, since i have school starting October (my school's been postponed so often i've been on holiday for four-and-a-half-months xD) updates could be less frequent, especially since the chapters are pretty long. Hopefully it'll be finished sometime in December or earlier.

After the Story is finished i'm unsure what i'll be writing next. It's either going to be a humor/fantasy thing i'm still toying with, which could be called The Tale of a Muslim Vampire, mostly for kicks because i'm so sick of the vampire mania going around i just want to make fun of it. Either that or possibly an adventure/romance/drama story set in modern Egypt, where i live. That one should actually be really interesting, so i'm thinking of going forwards with it. I have a few other stories waiting around on my ratty old computer, but i don't think those are going up on FictionPress anytime soon ;)
