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...

Interests: Greco-Roman literature. Classical mythology. Classical, Renaissance, Neoclassical and Romantic art. Fairy tales. Shakespearean plays and sonnets. Romantic literature. All facets and time periods of history (ancient, medieval, Renaissance, you name it, except for the modern 20th century era). Film soundtracks, some films, mostly war and/or historical epics. A few Broadway musicals. Roses, swans, classical music, ballet... Romance languages, particularly French. Anything Franch is bon. And apples. Mustn't forget the apples.

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.

Another note: For some other delicious samples of my writing (this I say with sarcasm), check out my account on : http://www.fanfiction.net/u/864386/" target="new"http://www.fanfiction.net/u/864386/

Yet another note: history & grammar = life

That's all, folks! Au revoir for now.
