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 act 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- the ones who do don't get along...

-My left leg kills when the weather goes whack

-A close friend once 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...) a 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 AJ dear wasn't the SNAG the other stories depicted), or adored ... thankfully, it's of the latter, thanks to you all! 

It was also my biggest challenge in writing ---> it took a whole year to complete ( I tend to stray, and I hadn't written anything other than short stories), 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...
