Hello, world!
My name is Caitlin, my friends call me Cait, and my pen name is Shadow-Within. A close friend once told me I "had a shadow I hid within me" and it's just stuck ever sense. The same person also told me I "had itty-bitty demons tucked into the corners of my psyche," but I couldn't come up with a short, to-the-point profile name out of that.
I love writing more than I love breathing, but I love reading more than I love writing. For every chapter/story you see up here, I have at least 5 more in my hard drive or in my AlphaSmart 3000 (I would die without this thing. I take it everywhere and it has yet to run out of power. I've never had to re-charge it. It's like a laptop only smaller and lighter with the sole purpose of storing documents. All it is, is a keyboard with a small screen above it.) Other hobbies: day dreaming, night dreaming, attempting to draw, collecting quotes, more reading, cooking, learning languages, listening to music, sleeping, playing video games (I'm really into weird games like Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, but I also play Zelda and other RPGs), and anything else that strikes me as fun that day.
I'm obsessed with my redheaded bishies: Kenshin and Kurama from Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho. I don't love them because they have red hair, though it certainly does helps, it's just a convenient coincidence. When I get Photoshop (Who knows when that'll happen though. After the next Millennium at this rate.) I'm planning to either making a banner or an avatar with them and the label "MY Redheaded Bishies." Or maybe I'll do both. My other bishies: Seeu from Planet Ladder, Yue from CCS, Syaoran from CCS, and all the male characters from any Sueric story. Particularly the characters she created in the Purity series. (Not that those are MY bishie though! I'm just saying that to ME they ARE bishies!)
My favorite anime/manga (in no particular order):
Rurouni Kenshin
Inuyasha
Card Captor Sakura (introduced me to the world of anime/manga. The reason I fell in love with it too!)
D. N. Angel
Paradise Kiss
Planet Ladder
Princess Ai
Angel Sanctuary
Fruit's Basket
I also love Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones and anything by Meg Cabot! (Among many, many others.) |
