Hello! My name is Shannon and I'm a 22½-year-old girl who thinks Niles Crane and his chair-wiping-down tendencies are 2kool4skool. I probably own more stuffed animals than your little sister and much like Rory Gilmore, I never leave the house without a book. When I'm not staging epic battles with my Spike and Angel puppets (my Sailor Moon action figure has been known to join the fray as well), my hobbies include writing, drawing, reading, photography, web-designing, singing in the shower, and baking snickerdoodles. A number of things pwn my heart: cupcakes, music (especially this one rock band from New Jersey), TV, movies, cartoons and comics of the Japanese variety, Sanrio/Japanese-cute in general, Disney, Hayao Miyazaki films, Naoko Takeuchi's art, the vlogbrothers, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, Mad Hatters, Harry Potter, Timelords, old-school Nickelodeon, Halloween, Christmas, and exploring bookstores for hours on end.
