I made a little bit of progress on PI the other day! It's slow, but it's coming along! I have six more weeks left until graduation, and I hope to get an update out shortly after that. :)
ElvenTrinity made new banners as a congrats for the feature last month! Since Horoscope is over now, I'll go ahead and put these here. They are beautiful! Thanks so much. :D


-About Me-
My username is perfect-to-stay. It's taken from one of my favorite songs, "Perfect to Stay," by one of my absolute favorite bands, Collective Soul. It's most definitely worth a listen. I'm a member of a lot of different sites, and I typically choose a different username for each one. Back when I was on Quizilla, my username was laughingwithbrokeneyes (from the song "When the Stars Go Blue"), and I share that here because people still occasionally follow me over from Quizilla.
Some basic info: I'm twenty-two years old and a senior in college. I'm majoring in English with a creative writing emphasis and a focus on fiction, and I'm minoring in Japanese.
Personality-wise, I am headstrong, prideful, and irritatingly stubborn. I am also introverted and a little bit shy. No person can be described in just one word, but there are some words that have been repeatedly applied to me: My high school classmates would tell you that I'm "smart," my mother calls me a "homebody," my father refers to me as "cerebral," my college classmates tend to think of me as "nice," my bosses past and present have told me I'm "responsible," and my brother says that I'm "earnest." I am all of these things and none of these things and a million other things at any given time, just like anybody else.
Stories are part of me, as much as my heart or my brain or my left leg. I may not have always written them down, but I have always told them, to myself, to the empty air, to my family, to my teachers, to my friends, and with the help of the internet, to people I don't even know. I firmly believe that even if I decided to never write another word, the stories would never stop coming. So I write them down, whether it's my personal story into my journals or my imagined stories onto this computer.
I love dogs. I love chocolate and forests and sky blue. I love freshly-dried laundry and books and meat and the internet. I love my friends and video games. I love my family. I love anime and music and wearing girly undergarments beneath my decidedly less girly clothing. I love the moon and driving stick-shift and rain. I love sunshine, too.
I write and post both fanfiction and original stories here on Luna. As of now, I don't post my work to any other sites. My list of fandoms is long and constantly expanding, so if you're truly that interested in knowing what they all are, you can message me. (I happen to have a list, 'cause I'm a nerd like that.)
I think that gives you a more than adequate idea of who I am, yeah? Thanks for stopping by!
