A Brief Introduction to the Isanity You are Wandering Into...

Oh dear; you appear to have mistakenly arrived at my profile. Poor you. I warn you now I am slightly insane - sleeping on a trampoline at 3am with three other slightly unstable girls is a recipe for disaster. And angry parents being 'mistakenly' rung up at half 3. Hm. Yeah... - and prone to moments of rather depressing stuff. I have been told by friends that the stuff I have on here isn't exactly cheeful (my fanfic profile is even more depressing, though) although I can write vaguely happy stuff if I want to. Take my friendFic, The League of Loons and ZOMBIEZ for example; that's relatively amusing. Yes, it is intentionally spelt with a Z as a take on the rather obsessive moments we have with LOL cats. Hum. Moving on...

I'm fourteen (no longer an odd number; now just odd) and I'd like to think I can manage to stay alive in a house with two brothers (soon to be three) until I'm eighteen and can bugger off to University. I enjoy cackling at nothingness in a dark corner with a horde of chocolate and possibly an equally as insane friend, and drooling over Mitchell (Aidan Turner) from Being Human and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) from Supernatural.

Likes/Dislikes/Etc: The music you will find me listening/headbanging/crying/writing to is normally something metal, rock or something like that. My friends detest most of my MP3 files and refer to Lordi as 'screaming idiots'. Some people have no appreciation of good music. -sigh-

Here's a quick lowdown of the music most of my stuff will be/is inspired by:

Nightwish; Epica; Sirenia; Lordi; Within Temptation; Meat Loaf; Bullet For My Valentine; HIM; Fall Out Boy; My Chemical Romance; Lostprophets; Apocalyptica; Papa Roach; Lene Marlin; Bowling for Soup; Tarja Turunen; Nickelback; Heart; Roxette; Marilyn Manson; Blondie; P!nk; Fightstar; The Cranberries; There For Tomorrow; The Killers; Thunder; Magnum; Survivor; Wheatus; Bon Jovi; Aerosmith; Guns 'n' Roses; Incubus; Simple Plan; Theory of a Dead Man; Busted; Metallica; System of a Down; Serj Tankian; The Goo Goo Dolls; Linkin Park; Placebo; Blink 182; Alien Ant Farm; Elliot Minor; Reverend and the Makers; Rise Against; In Flames; Daughtry; Kansas; Deep Blue Something; Death Cab for Cutie; Paramore; Evanescence; Seether.

I like chocolate, pepsiMAX, cats and sleeping. Oh, and writing counts I think. I don't own anything that can be classed as a designer label as I steer well clear of them, and my wardrobe consists of labels such as Living Dead Souls, Death Kitty, Hell Bunny, Edward Scissorhands, Scary Mary, Emily the Strange and general blackness interrupted ocasionally by a flash of colour. My two cats are called Schrodinger and Einstein, male and female respectively, and the other pets I posess go by the names of Jake and Nat and are sometimes referred to as my siblings, although I don't like to be reminded of this fact too often. I am taking part in NaNoWriMo (google it) after being pressganged into it by Pixie. She tempted me into it with the lure of novel writing and then failed to mention that once you are in you stay in, like some sort of cult. Please bear this in mind during November - I will be slaving away on the target of 50,000 words by the 31st, and will be locked in my eerie while the homework piles up around me and I curse Pixie's very name for getting me invloved at all.

Anyway.

That's about all that's relevent, methinks. The genres I like reading/writing are mainly vampyric horror/romances, but I will ocasionally branch out into werewolves. Edward Cullen rocks, even if the books don't. I skimread them and couldn't tell you the plot of the third if you paid me. Sorry. Flame me all you like, it won't change the fact that I find Bella a simpering idiot and Edward gorgeous but a bit dim. Jasper's by far the hottest of the Cullen boys, though I suppose Jacob (the character in the book, not film version) is quite a fit idea. Hm. Though given the choice between Edward and his piddly Volvo, and Dean Winchester and his amazing Chevvy Impala '67, I would so vote Jensen. He's amazing and the car rocks something awesome. I mean, compare it with a Volvo. It's just not the same. Supernatural as a genre is okay too, and I dabble occasionally in that toybox until I eventually venture back to the 'dark cave of rockiness' that I live in according to my friends over in Popland. -coughs-

But I digress.

Favourite Reading Material and The Literary Genii Behind Them...

Darren Shan - The Vampire Saga and The Demonata

Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl and The Wishlist, although The Supernaturalist is okay...

Holly Black - Tithe and The Spiderwick Chronicles

Phillip Reeve - Mortal Engines quartet

David Lee Stone - The Illmoor Chronicles

Debi Gliori - Pure Dead Magic/Wicked/Brilliant and Deep Trouble/Water/Fear

Terry Pratchett - All of the Discworld series, and also Truckers, Diggers and Wings

Stephen King - Nightshift... meh, generally Stephen King, really.

Catherine Jinks - The Reformed Vampire Support Group

Tonya Hurley - Ghostgirl

Suzanne Collins - The Hunger Games

Marcus Sedgewick - My Sword Hand is Singing. I likes, but his stuff is a bit complex and deep for me to really get into. Although I liked the vampire/undead thing going on.

This last one I have a slight twinge of shame mentioning - it ruins the gothic image I try to keep just a tad - but can I say that while I will tolerate the following books, Jaqueline Wilson will forever be avoided like the plague, thank you very much.

Cathy Cassidy - Dizzy, Indigo Blue, Driftwood, Scarlett and Ginger Snaps. I feel I have a certain affinity with the last two. Sigh.

And many others I can't list there because I can't remember the author. Here they are, though:

The Tortured Wood; Desperaux; I, Coriander.

Well, that's all I really have to say. Just so you know, ListeningToTheVoices is actually a real friend, and - okay, so she didn't necessarily ask permission to take the mickey out of my literary ventures - I'm okay with her little parody based on Angelic, so please don't PM me with messages saying someone has nicked my characters. I'm perfectly happy with it, and it's too funny to actually hate that much. Although she has made Cal a transvestite in posession of a 'sparkly fishing rod'. I don't know why, but there we are. She's a bit odd and let's leave it at that.

The League of Lunatics and ZOMBIEZ!!

Information That Is Slightly Important to The Plot Line and Other Such Things

OR

The Backstory, the Characters and the Randomness

Summary:

Well. This is what happens when I am deprived of pepsi/chocolate and take to sitting in my room all day like the hermit I am. Hm. After the rivetting thought of 'What would happen to the League of Loons if we were dumped in the middle of a zombie invasion?' (inventive, I know) I decided to see. It is supposed to be a comedy, but I am not making any promises of how effective my humour/sarcasm/wit will be. There will also be gore - thanks mainly to Marz being in charge of the big weapons and Downy being allowed something pointy - and zombiefied teachers, students and dinner ladies. Did I forget to mention it's set in our school? Yeah. All teachers names have been changed before I uploaded, bear in mind. I don't want to be on the receiving end of badly-taken fame, thank you vair much.

The Loons:

Downy/Madasahatter123 - manically insane. Is given sharp things and makes us all regret it, un-surprisingly. Get's knocked out a few times and giggles while doing so. Her league costume is that of a sheep costume, based around our obsession with Welsh sheep that started on a residential trip to Wales, on which I came up with the brilliant idea of getting high by sniffing sheep. It didn't work, but we found the whole concept so hilarious it didn't really need to.

Lem/SimmingLemming - the fairly sensible one, but goes a bit insane at one point and attacks the zombiez, lemming style. Is small, hamsterish and finds a Spandex cat suit to be her League Costume. I don't know why, and I write the damn thing. But I knew we had to include Spandex at some point, just to laugh at whoever was wearing it. Although the sheep is worse off in comparison. Sorry Downy.

Scat(me) - a bit gloomy, picks up a staple gun as a weapon and isn't too keen on fighting the zombiez. Listens to her MP3 for some of the excapade and spends most of the brief car journey upside down. Greets the arrival of Jensen Ackles with well-placed faints and giggling. Wears a long, black leather Van Helsing coat as her League Costume.

Pixie/ListeningToTheVoices - giggles at the oddest things, is a bit of a Luna-Lovegood-type and resents her bag being filled with rulers. Jumps on Jared almost as soon as he steps out of the car, and spends most of the chapter entitled Enter the Basket Elf upside down in a tub of Tennis rackets, little loafered feet waving helplessly. Chose a pinstripe Gangster suit, loafers and a trilby as her League Costume.

Marz - the one who kills the zombies in great quantity, using all sorts from sharpened rulers to fire extinguishers, and fights Pixie for the ownership of Jared. Sorry, that should be LOVE of Jared. Of course. The costume she gets given is a black batman cape, complete with oversized boxers and a mask. She hates me for the boxers, but artistic liscence is a great thing.

Mim - a bit of a wimp, no offence dear. Points out the obvious ("Ew. You're touching it.") and hates fighting. Gets clobbered with the costume she is to wear as a Loon, and ends up dressed as the back end of a Pantomime horse, or, as I prefer, 'a rather depressed-looking horse's arse'. Has a chin called Gareth that Lem likes to poke on ocasion.

Jobog - takes charge of the situation with the help of science and the Luck of the Cheesecakes. Wears a Trekkie tunic and is magically given an earpiece that not only connects us to the Enterprise but also Sam and Dean. Is very sarcastic, matter-of-fact and doesn't like being undermined.

The Other Guys:

Loud - a friend. We find her in a store cupboard, stare at her as she falls into a mop bucket and then leave her in the cupboard. She turns up again at some point, but we leave her on the Enterprise, so that's okay.

Jared 'Paddy' Padalecki/Sam Winchester - I have taken him out of the Supernatural playground to dump him in a rather odd storyline surrounded by insane girls for a while, but I will return him to Eric Kripke in one piece. Promise. Oh, and I have taken to calling him Paddy for the hell of it.

Jensen Ackles/Dean Winchester and car - Again, I don't own him but will make sure he is safely returned to his owners. Unfortunately he will have been mentally scarred by moi et Downy, who will be ready to shower him and the Impala with praise and adoration when he arrives in - as usual - style.

Captain Kirk - He's just... there, really. Bog beams us up to the Enterprise and saves us from a zombie ambush, but we don't stay long. We kinda get kicked off...

Spock - see above...

Barry - Pixie's interpretation of God will appear at times, mostly as a floating, plaited beard. Note that 'plaited' refers to the two plaits he has in his beard for some reason, not one plait. Just imagine Marco's beard from Nightwish, only longer and greyer.

Jeebus - The mini version of the Deity, that lives on Pixie's special mathematical compass. Yeah. It is completely my fault that he is there, but he turns up at some point in ZOMBIEZ. Any offence caused by Barry and/or Jeebus is not intentional so PLEASE don't take what I write seriously or to heart; I don't want to upset anyone purposefully, honest, nor do I wish to make fun of your beliefs. Jeebus and Barry are just based on the deities.

Legolas - not actually a person, but I felt he needs a mention. One of the twin hand guns Marz finds in chapter two.

Hrithrik - another one of the guns Marz found and named. Named after the Bollywood actor Hrithrik Roshan. (AN: did I spell it write, Marz dear?)

The Teachers:

Mrs MacBundy - features only in the first chapter, after which she is somewhat inconvenienced. Dead, basically.

Mrs Craniland - Dies somewhere in the second chapter, after a rather amusing run in with a photocopier and Lem.

Mrs Norris - the insanely ebil librarian who we discover is far more ebil than we expected. Also kicks the bucket at some point.

Mrs Chapstick - introduced in both ZOMBIEZ and Go Lunar by Bog, but is the small PE teacher that lives in the Sports Hall at school.

Jedi Gary - a somewhat disturbing science teacher who is very obsessed with Star Wars and has actually written a book. Not stating title, but he has. His 'name' here is linked to the title of the book in some way. Guess.
