Yo ho ho, hello there, profile viewer! :D Welcome to this cat, bus, rain, bookstore and the colour blue maniac's little lair. Hope you don't get crushed by the stacks of oranges I hide in the wardrobe and please withold from being fed to the dragon. For some reason, he hates dairy products. :/

Anyhow, let's talk on. :D

Starting today I'm 17 years old(woot!), female (that was valid before today >.>), living in Zagreb (...which is in Croatia) and can speak english, stutter german and count to twenty(badly) in french.

Music: It's not about the style, it's about the song. And the video counts, on occasion. :P So I'll just give the top five in random order:

1.Hotel California by The Eagles

2.Istanbul by The Four Lads

3.That's Life by Frank Sinatra

4.Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

5.Her Name Is Alice by Shinedown

Games: Depths of Peril(dose stories *O*), The Sims 3 and.. umm...(checks desktop) oh, Chicken Invaders :D

Books: Carlos Ruiz Zafon, George R.R. Martin, Guy Gavriel Kay, Jack London(White Fang), Markus Zusak(The Book Thief) and Susanna Clarke(Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell) and about a thousand more. Mister Tolkien, of course, not among the last. :D

Movies: Hachiko, V for Vendetta, Howl's Moving Castle, Big Fish, Kingdom of Heaven, LotR(duh), The Illusionist, Amelie, ...

Arts: writing(laptop), drawing, howling to the sounds of various musics and calling it singing

Instruments: laptop, mechanical pencil, couch.

About the Cookies on the Plate: urgh. Being mostly a short story writer, the two attempts at 'real' books are prolly a... uh... fail. : ( Due to real life and all that there are big gaps in between chapters, affecting pretty much everything :P So read at your own risk! The Song of the Crimson Moon is the smaller headache, but The Last Sunrise I kinda adore... Oh, why did I even bother with the I form? Sounds so much better in my head >.

Anyhowses, about the shortsies that will be returning. Nikken's back, as you can see, barely altered at all. There was also a list of thanks for the reviewers... but it disappeared >.>

Ooh, I forgot about the DeviantArt account! It's TheStarlitOrangeTree aaaand that's where you'll find some of the lads and ladettes I'm hosting here :) New faces as well - want me to make something bigger of them as well?

Sugar comes last and so does a notice to da Flamers: Fire away! I'm my own worst critic, so the only request I will make is to be imaginative. 'You suck!' and 'Laaaame!' are outdated. Give me a reason. And, if you please, a solution. :)

Edits:

26.7.2012. Woot. Twenty four minutes after midnight and the first chapter of The last Sunrise is finally up in its new form. Really, all that sap made me wince. *demonstrates* It appears that same chapter was the bone that choked 140 of its visitors. Hopefully it will be easier to stomach after this.

4.1.2013. Well now. TLS is back, as you can see, with a new writing regime! I solemnly swear not to post a single chapter until the next one is done! It'll save me some headache and hopefully provide enough motivation(read:guilt) to continue :P Also, Song of the Crimson Moon is going DOWN! For editing purposes, no less, and some seeerious rewriting! I'd like to thank my dear two reviewers, who know who they are, and also all those who took a moment to read that sorry mess :3 Hopefully you'll like the new version as well once it arrives! Cheerio, for now.
