This is pretty much the same as my Fanfiction profile, so if you've read that, you can just scroll down to my stories.

Everyday I'm Tumblin': http://mickofalltrades.tumblr.com/

UPDATE: I'm back from the dead! Life is like a young child-- it needs a lot of attention that I don't have the time or the patience for right now. But I shipped it off to the babysitter for a few hours so I could update Bound. :P Also, I have a Tumblr now! The link is above. (September 11, 2012)

Hey! I am MercedesPhoenix, but you can call me Mercedes. Or Merc. Or Evermore, Ever, W, Peanut, Leon, Angel, or Canada, which are all legitimate nicknames with different people in real life. And to avoid any gender confusion, I'm a girl. I am a sophomore in high school, and get pretty good grades. (Considering I started this thing in junior high, I feel pretty frickin' old.) I live in the United States, but I'm not going to specify which state because that would be stupid of me. I'm also pretty tall. I play piano, which I have been taking for around seven to eight years now, and mallets, which is what I play in band. I have one pet, a cat, and his name is Buddy. My favorite color since I was little has always been pink, but recently I've been starting to get into cooler shades. I will pretty much try anything except screamo and things of that nature (talking about music, people).

I have always had a wild imagination, which makes it easy to draw and write songs and stories. I've been really bad at these things until recently, but I'm still improving. I'm currently not feeling an inspiration to draw, which makes me sad, but I just can't draw without inspiration. My love for writing songs has been renewed, so novels and songwriting are my main inspirations right now. My friends will mostly review my stories before they go up here so I don't post something really truly horrible. Again, my FanFiction account is Evermore18, but that isn't going as great as I am hoping this account to be. If you didn't know, Emerald Spirit is currently on hiatus and as I have stated before, a revised version of After The Storm is currently underway. IMPORTANT NOTE THAT IF YOU LIKE TO STEAL PEOPLE'S IDEAS YOU SHOULD READ: As far as I'm concerned, these stories are mine. That means in no way, shape, or form do you copy and paste the content of my stories into your stories. Plagiarism is a crime, people. We work hard. That means you have to as well. So basically, don't even think about it. Because I will find out. And then hunt you down and do something to you in a very painful fashion.

And that's just a little about me!

More random, pointless stuff:

Favorite Band(s) in the Whole Wide World: Evanescence and Panic! At the Disco! They are so amazing!

I Also Like These Bands: Paramore, Flyleaf, Linkin Park, Taylor Swift, Plain White Ts, Green Day, Death Cab for Cutie, Sarah Barreleis (I have no clue how to spell that), Maroon 5, Anna Nalick, Nickelback, My Chemical Romance, Muse, System of a Down, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, 3 Doors Down, Falling in Reverse, Escape the Fate, Carrie Underwood, Eminem, and more I can't think of right now.

Favorite Kinds of Music: Anything that's on the radio right now, rock, alternative, a little bit of country, a little bit of rap, pop, and a bit of heavy metal.

My Favorite Book Series: Evermore the Immortals Series by Alyson Noel and The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins

Other Books That Are Great Too: Blue Bloods Series by Melissa De La Cruz, Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson, Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, Wake Trilogy by (well I have to check, I'm not sure who wrote it), Go Ask Alice by Anonymous, I kinda like the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, If I Stay by Gayle Forman, pretty much any book by Ellen Hopkins, the Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Claire, the Fallen series by Lauren Weiss (I think that's her name), and much more I can't think of right now.

Manga That I Love: Death Note, Fruit's Basket (Kinda. I'm pretty sure that's what it's called, I haven't read it in a while), Vampire Knight, Dead Man Wonderland, and that's about it. I don't have a lot of manga, so any suggestions are appreciated.

Anime That I Love: Death Note, Pokemon (It's a favorite pastime between my brother and I), Vampire Knight, Vampire Knight Guilty, Full Metal Alchemist, Itazura na Kiss, Sailor Moon (I used to watch that when I was younger. Subtitles, of course!), Kiki's Delivery Service (First anime ever), and that's pretty much it. Again, any suggestions are greatly appreciated and I will definitely go check them out.
