I am not:

A slave 4 U (not even for the Boys), the foretold Diablo, any religious figure, a Mandy-Britney-Christina clone, a movie mogul, a millionairess/billionairess/trillionairess to the Gate's fortune or anyone affiliated with John Howard getting elected as PM for the third term (justice? justice?! justice my ass!)

 

fan of:

Backstreet---> killing the boyband rivalry, Craig David, movies, Marian Keyes, Patricia Cornwell, expressing yourself

 

I love:

Backstreet, reading, writing, the Gilmore Girls, The Simpsons, Rove [Live] ('Say hi to your mum for me' & 'what the...' !) Starburst Rattlesnakes, R'n'B, hip, hop, instant noodles, the STLD soundtrack, the winter season, Keanu, HK drama series, teeny bopper movies, laughing, CDs, MP3s...

 

I hate:

Pretention, mayonnaise, tomatoes, Saturday morning exams, waking up tired, load on load of assignments, vanity, sappy love songs ( 'Hero'; Enrique Inglesias & 'I Wanna Love You Forever, Jessica Simpson---> don't go there!), stupidity (I'm not Einstein, but don't cat like all you've got is a shell!) uncertainty, mosquitoes, Step classes, waiting...

 

addicted to:

noise, my laptop, coffee, sleeping in and the net... (hey, I fit into the stereotype of a student! hehehe)

 

strange coincidences and other.... stuff:

-I share the same birth date (including year) as actress Lee Lee Sobieski

-None of my friends know each other directly- if they do, they don't get along...

-My left leg kills when the weather goes whack

-My friend gave me a talking 'giraffe' as my b'day present---> I was turning 19!

-My birthday is exactly a month after my sister's (provided, a three year gap, but still...) My younger cousin's is exactly one month after mine---> think we got May, June and July covered! ;)! )

-I think AJ looks like Tigger.... does anyone else think that.... Or is it just me....?

-I love Elmo! 

 

I started writing Backstreet fan fic:

In December 2000, after the Boys stopped by for the 100hr tour ( and never came back! :-( ----> I'm not a happy Jan! )

I hadn't been inspired in a while, but they gave me a reason to write again...

 

Premonition was the first story I did for English (or any other class,  in this case) that didn't totally suck and got me a decent mark. 'Starting Over' was the second story (also did this for English... hmmmm...) which also got me a decent mark, and made me think 'hey, maybe it wasn't a fluke after all ;) !. 

January Rain therefore was my first Backstreet story, then I just went on overload and started 'Game Boy'---> 'When Words Just Aren't Enough' was the biggest fluke of it all---> it would have been either loathed ('cos of the crass factor), or adored ... thankfully, it's of the latter, thanks to you all! 

It was also the biggest challenge in writing ---> it took a whole year to complete ( I tend to stray), so finishing it this year was something, plus it was meant to be funny in first person (it's hard enough to write a good drama... writing a comedy is really difficult... kudos to people who are talented in this department, I don't know how you do it!)

 

thank you's:

Thank you to all.... Girly (for the feedback) Valeigh (for the html)... to the Streetfics team (thanks for the invite... you guys are incredible!) Jenna ( for the first comment I ever got), and everyone else who voted, read, signed my guestbook, e-mailed me, demanded I update, pestered me to write sequels (I still remember you all!), pestered me again, complained about the broken links (hehehhe)... I thank you 

 

I still love feedback so if you've got any, send it over... if you don't like something, tell me... if you've got a suggestion... tell me

 

I love emails, I love feedback, I love to chat, I love the net, I love to write... all  in all; this is Saya; and these are my bittersweet rhapsodies...
