Jillian
a 21-year-old girl from Canada
The basics:
- I'm a university student living in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland.
Some other noteworthy aspects about me:
- I'm addicted to books. Favourite author? Easy; Christopher Moore. There are really no words to describe how spectacular he is. Hmm? You haven't read any of his stuff? Tsk, tsk; you should get on that right away.
- I'm addicted to shoes.
- I'm addicted to writing. To date, I've completed two full length manuscripts in the genre of chick lit. [currently trying to get published, we'll see how it goes : ) ] I'm also working on my third but I thought I'd give fantasy a go this time.
- I'm a university student working towards a bachelor's degree in International Business. (I know what you're thinking....'Huh?' Gotta have a back up for when that fame and fortune doesn't pan out I guess!)
- I don't like turnip.

I've decided to add this little section at the end of my humble profile here and dedicate it to a quote about writing, be it silly, strange, inspirational or what have you. I'm doing it because...well, because I'm like that. And anyway, who doesn't love a good quote?
This Week's Quote:

I've tried entering this so called "poetry contests"
but they alway endup being bogus.. it's getting stupid.
I actually gave up on trying to send them to contests..
I wanted to send one to Chicken Soup.. but I couldn't find the website to do so.
But thanks for those websites.. I'll be taking a look at them!"
Believe it or not, the Germany angle came to my mind when I saw your comment a couple of days back about you saying that you were visiting Germany! And the Cherry blossom thing with the tree in full bloom in front of my house - which led me to Japan!"
I think the place will survive for a few days without me. :) But I'll have my laptop and free wifi at the hotel in Waikiki, so in case of emergency I can always check in and handle things.
I think my fiancee will probably kick my ass if I spend my birthday on the laptop while on a beach, though. :p"

I'll see if I can make the change you suggested in the next day or two, I think that'll spare everyone the reams of emails."
You're the first Protagonist to hit rank 2. :)"
I've been meaning to read Christopher Moore, but I haven't gotten around to it. From what I understand, he's sort of satirey? (Yeah I just made up a word. I'm an English major, so I can get away with it.)"
Sorry about my absence as well; I was at my grandparent's. =0"
Living paintings and Scotsmen? How could I not add that particular branch? xDD
...Of course, he has to be wearing a kilt. -shiftyeyes-"
If you want to, you're more than welcome to make a story mature (not halfway through, mind you)... but as per the FAQ, be careful, because the minute a story is flagged mature it's waaaay harder for you to find it on the site. :/
You're welcome to use some Battlestar Galactica-esque language instead, though, as long as it's not too frakking obvious. :p"
