First of the Geekshide bio
Author has written 3 stories for General, and Romance. So this is where I do the cliché list of doom, right? Name: Melissa Age: 15 Location: Illinois Hobbies: Sitting alone in fields much like a psycho would, reading really cheesy romance novels, and listening to any type of music I can. I'm involved in my school's theatre, I'm on my school's speach team (I do Original Comedy, which means I had to write my own 8-minute speech and it had to be funny. Sadly, I don't think I accomplished my goal...), and I'm in my school's Gay-Straight allience. Other than that I'm usually at home reading or hanging out with friends. Books: Sunshine- Robin McKinley, Sevenwaters Trilogy- Juliet Marillier, The China Garden- Liz Berry, Something Borrowed- Emily Griffin, Harry Potter- J.K. Rowling, Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austin, Jane Eyre- Charolett Brontë, random cheesy romance novels by Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas, and Katie MacAlister. Movies: The Mummy, Circle of Friends, Pride and Prejudice (BBC version), Pride and Prejudice, Bridget Jones' Diary, Moulin Rouge, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cruel Intentions, Mulan (shut up please), Indiana Jones, Sixteen Candles, Ever After, Princess Bride. Music: Queen, Warren Zevon, David Bowie, Blind Guardian, Smashing Pumpkins, Death Cab for Cutie, Jimmy Eat World, Evanescence, Coheed and Cambria, Eminem, Journey, Cruel Intentions Soundtrack, Moulin Rouge Soundtrack, Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack, Switchfoot, Imogen Heap, Trapt, Alien Ant Farm, Paula Cole, 10 Years, Decemberists, random classical, and anything else that I feel like listening to. TV: I don't watch that much but... Grey's Anatomy, Who's Line is it Anyway, Gilmore Girls, Desperate Housewives, and anything on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, or A&E that doesn't have anything to do with war (even though that's all they really play...). Current Obsessions: Grey's Anatomy, Mulan, penguins, keeping my room clean, theatre, wearing boxers, cheesy romance novels, vampires, sleeping, writing/reading fanfiction (http://www.fanfiction.net/~firstofthegeeks), writing my novel. On Writing: Hmm.. well... I do this whenever the mood strikes me, which, admittedly, is not much. However, just because I'm NOT writing doesn't mean I'm not thinking about doing it. Which, while it may not be a consulation... it's still something. Anywubbly, that's really all that needs to go onto my Cliché List of DOOM, so imma go... do something productive, like write a chapter so amazing it'll make your head spin, your soul stir, and your uterus stutter. Yea, that probably won't happen. ~Melissa |
