Hi there! Curious about me?
Well then you've come to the right place.

I'm a creative person who like to make up stories and then write them down. I'm an artist at heart and I dream of becoming a published novelist.
(A girl can dream, can't she?)

Anyway... When I'm not writing I usually like to read books, listen to music or watch a movie.

My favourite book of all times are Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Followed closely by the Harry Potter books.

I listen to music almost every hour of the day.
I'm addicted to music so naming a favourite band or singer is quite impossible, but if I had to choose my top five it would look like this:
Within Temptation, E Nomine, Evanescence, Collide and E. S. Posthumus.

I'm very fond of movies by Jerry Bruckheimer.
Movies that go BOOM are highly amusing, I think.
Pirates of the Caribbean is a very precious part of my DVD collection.
Alongside with the Harry Potter movies of course.

But there is one item on my DVD shelf that I treasure far beyond anything else and that's my Lord of the Rings box. The entire trilogy. Extended. On 12 discs.
11 hours of movie magic!!

While we're talking about movies I have to mention another one of my interests: anime.
Personal favourites among movies are Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro.
Some series that I think are particularly good are Chrono Chrusade, Paradise Kiss and Fullmetal Alchemist.

Beside my interest for anime I also like manga and comics in general.
As a result of this interest I run my own webcomic and even though it's hard work sometimes and I don't get paid I enjoy it very much.

Now... What more can I tell you?

I like cats. (I've got two of them.)
And computers. (I've got two of them as well...)

Ehn... I suppose that's it.
For now anyway.

Enjoy your stay here at my lair.

Sincerely yours
Maria
