A Very Long Backstory...
Oh yeah...feed little Harrykins when I'm not here, M'kay?
"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup." -Anonymous
"I set the wheels of justice in motion, and to the untrained eye, they're spinning wildly in a state of disarray! Yet they are in control...my controlled chaos." -The Warden of Superjail!
Name: Gabrielle (call me Froggy or Peridot, or even 713, I prefer to keep Gabrielle among my close friends)
Sex: Technically female. I say technically because I do not like being associated with the typical gender stereotypes. I believe the formal term for that is 'asexual' but I also believe that the more informal term would be 'that person's insane.'
Age: 16! biggrin Only two more years before they let me see all on DevArt.
Penname: Peridot_Horntail, I write under. Froggy, I draw under. 713 is my poet title.
Likes: BOOKS! Superjail! to the point where the show creators are taking Jhonen's GOD pedestal, Harry Potter, fluffy romance, (not sappy, fluffy. There's a difference. Sappy is so sweet it makes you gag. Fluffy is sweet enough to make you go awwww...I'm a hopeless romantic in that case.) frogs, dragons, penguins, cats, fantasy, humor, movies, slushies/Slurpees (to the point where it's creepy and illegal in four states), the Internet, animals not mentioned above, Harry Potter, certain animes, Pokemon (BUT NOT DIAMOND/PEARL/PLATINUM!! Except Gallade, Garchomp, and Shinx. They're cool.), Harry Potter, anything by Jhonen Vasquez, just about anything done with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, water, the colors green and blue, fire, nature. I like any kind of depressingly dark or sad music, or funny. I have a thing for classic rock/alternative/romantic. I also like musicals. And did I mention Harry Potter?
(And maybe the occasional lemon story...if you say you don't like lemons, you're a terrible liar.)
Dislikes: The color pink, being cold, stupid people, mosquitoes and deerflies, certain Harry Potter pairings, and incest and *****. And by *****, I mean REAL *****, not that whole 14 and 25 thing...that's not *****, that's called you're a horny teenager.
I'm also kinda starting to hate TV. Mostly because it's so stupid now.
Friends: Nova, aka Nini, who is learning French and is incredibly entertaining. Rebecca, aka Squee/Squeek/Greed, who has corrupted my mind beyond repair and I love her for it, and several people I've met over the years who have not bribed me enough to mention them here.
Some Quotes:
YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN AUTHOR IF...
You talk to yourself a lot. (Alot meaning all the time...)
You talk to yourself about talking to yourself. (e.g. 'Why do I constantly ask my self random things?')
When you talk to yourself you often talk to yourself like you're talking to someone else. (e.g. 'Have you ever noticed that deliver could mean someone's liver?')
After uttering a profound peice of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand with awe and say, "Wow,this stuff is great for sugar highs...'
You live off of sugar and caffine (the two greatest things ever discovered!)
You'll check your e-mail every day of the week and then dissappear off the face of the earth.
You're e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random.
When replying to an e-mail, you'll never actually address the point of it.
You tend to collect Pencils/Pens off the ground like picking pennies off the ground.
No matter where you are in a room you never have to get up to find a pen/pencil and paper.
The letters on your keyboard are wearing off. (well no, but I've gotten a new keyboard)
Your friends and family think that you have carpal tunnel syndrome.
People think you have A.D.D.
You think it'd be cool to have A.D.D.
You constantly start talking in third person, present or past tense.
You start thinking about making lists like this and start giggling for no "apparent" reason
Your friends stopped looking at you funny for no apparent reason a loooooong time ago.
And FINALLY, the one way to tell if you're a good writer: You failed English 101.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost
