My favourite genre is probably a murder mystery, or a mystery book of some kind with plenty of twists in the plot but I also like comedies and short stories. Probably the most recognizable aspects of me are my many catchphrases and colloquialistic styles of writing I use in and out of Arda. I love Super Mario World, pirates, lizards and Christmas, which have cunningly been mingled into my many characters My favourite thing to do is to sit down at night before I go to sleep, play an inspiring song of kinds and think.

I was browsing the invisionfree directory aaaaaaaaaages ago, found the site, found out it was to do with writing and joined! | | Slogan: | I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Dun steal it! |

I have done so, because when they read it, even the ones who don't love "Fantasy" as much as me; I still want them to enjoy the writing, for good-writings sake; and to be proud of me. Knowing people you respect will be reading your posts keeps you performing at your best! Arda isn't a secret Other-side of myself; but a wonderful part of my real life self. The same as being owner of an increasingly famous restaurant. I hope everyone here can feel as proud of Arda. |

| Year of school: | Senior 08 baby! | | Job: | I work as a Hostess at a place called Finley’s. | | About Me: | I’m pretty much an out-going, fun-loving person. My friends are constantly telling me that I have a contagiously loud laugh, but I don’t think they mind. I’m very self-motivated towards my goals and if I have to quit something, I’m usually forced to. I’ve been a black belt in TaeKwonDo for 4 out of the 8 years I have been active in it. I’m now a 2nd degree black belt instructor at my school, and I absolutely love doing it! I’m active besides my hours spent writing on the computer, and I’m probably one of the most health-conscious people you’ll meet. When I go to college, I plan on studying film and have high hopes for myself in that field. One of my more unorthodox goals in life is to be on the show Survivor, where I hope to win it or, at least, come close. | | Hobbies: | I love: working out, TaeKwonDo, Golfing, running, writing, making/editing films, drawing, dancing, going to plays, being crazy. | | Craziest Memory: | Umm, I jello wrestled once.  | | Role in Arda: | The Guardian of Fire, hottie! | | How I found Arda: | Google search, though I tried to recreate it once and I couldn’t find it again!

I now wear an insulin pump so I have more freedom in what I eat and I figure there are many worse things out there. I love animals and have two dogs as well as two rabbits. I love to read mystery as well as fantasy novels and one of my favorite places to go is Six Flags Magic Mountain. I also love to go to Renaissance Faires and have a slight pirate obsession, (I own 3 pirate flags). I collect weapons and currently own a cutlass, a hunting knife, a machete and a short sword. Though I can get annoyed rather quickly I am normally rather laid back and easy going. | | Hobbies: | Judo, Reading, RPing (duh), Writing Poetry | | Favorite Quote: | "It’s normal to be abnormal." | | Role in Arda: | Guardian of Water | | How I found Arda: | A friend at school introduced me here, then she was forced to leave because of school but I shall stay forever! | | Best Arda Friend: | I have a lot and can’t pick one.

Michigan is now the 5th state I've called home, and nobody knows how long I'll stay here. I've enjoyed living everywhere I've been and I've seen so much in the way of culture.

I guess that's me, in a nutshell! | | Hobbies: | Swimming, traveling, writing, reading, dabbling in graphics art manipulation, playing World of Warcraft and just about any other MMORPG that has come my way, hiking, D&D, walking and jogging, rollerblading, weaving jewelry | | Favorite Quote: | "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." - T.S.
