Updating! 17/03/2010

Finally an update. Kkkk. I'm so bad. Sorry guys. Now chapter 3 is up and chapter 4 is on its way.

Lest I forget, a BIG thanks to my reviewers. You're awsome!

I expect my writing is getting better not worse, but any mistakes you see, please contact me about it.

xoxo,

Mari.

To the list:

Name: Mariana, it means "sea of bitterness" ohhhh, very ominous. So you know, I love my name, I see people wanting to change their names all the time but I... if I have a daughter someday, her name will be Mariana too.

Where am I? Brazil. The northeast, coast side city. Ahhhh. Can't wait to go somewhere colder but then I'd miss it here.

Profession: College student, social communication. Work weekends at my father's art gallery and I'm teaching in a English course right now.

Music I like: Everything. I mean it. Rock, pop, metal, goth metal, kpop, jpop, indie, enka, gospel, classical, percussion, jazz, blues, samba, MPB, soul, country, opera...

Manga: Akuma De Sorou, Itazura na kiss, HanaDan, Furuba, anything from Shinjo Mayu (love smut heh), Ouran Host Club and Hellsing (and that's the only shounen worth of being on this list).

Anime: Paradise Kiss, Ouran Host Club and Dragon Ball Z (not Dragon Ball and not Dragon Ball GT, only the Z one. Because teenage Gohan was hot, when I was like.. fourteen).

Movies: Okay, I'll only put here the addictive ones or this would never end. Romeo and Juliet (the Franco Zeffirelli's one), Goodbye Lenin, The Secret Garden, My Sassy Girl, The Classic, The flying dagger clan, The Godfather, StarWars, Dogma and Interview with the vampire.

Dramas: Oh Dal Ja's Spring, Kkotboda Namja, House, Friends (yeah, I still watch the reruns), Kimi wa petto, Gourmet and The BigBang theory.

Quotes:

"01-Nice men are ugly
02-Handsome men are not nice
03-Handsome and nice men are married
04-Handsome, nice and unmarried men are useless
05-Handsome, nice, unmarried and rich men are not interested in us
06-Handsome, nice, unmarried, rich men who are interested in us are players
07-Handsome, nice, unmarried, rich men who are interested in us and faithful are homosexuals
10-Handsome, nice, unmarried, rich men who are interested in us, faithful, straight and who would not lose interest in us even if we made the first moves – those men must have problems!" (My Name is Kim SamSoon)

"By my heel, I care not" - Mercutio (Romeo and Juliet)

"You do realize that the point of metaphors is to scare people from doing things by telling them that something much scarier is going to happen, than what will really happen? God, I wish I had a metaphor to explain that better." - House
