Well, there isn't much to say about me... I'm usually calm and collected, though when with friends, I can become quite hyper and bouncy... I love to read and perhaps love writing even more...

Ai, I suppose I'll just do the profile thing...

Note: As for reviews, I canaccept any form of constructive criticism and/or encouragement or even comments, that sort of thing, though flaming happens to be one of my biggest pet peeves. I don't exactly fancy reviews such as "Omigod! That was likegr8!" either, so don't trythose.
