Mirage

I tend to live half the time in the real world and the other half of the time in a world that exists solely inside my head. It's there that I find my creativity, and it's from there that my love of all things fantastical comes from.
I chose the name "Mirage" because it's the name of one of my favoirte-but-not-necessarily-main characters from my own personal original work of fiction. She also not-so-subtly resembles Wendy's elves in size, figure, huge eyes, and lovely, pointy ears.

My NaNo penname is mgrabeklis.

Jesus. Also, the apostle John.
King Arthur.
Yoda. And Dante.

Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Mamma Mia, Avatar, The Day After Tomorrow, Anne of Green Gables, Independence Day, Space Cowboys, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Disney (animated, computer generated, and live-action), Eragon, Natalie Portman Movies, Drew Barrymore movies, Sandra Bullock movies (except Speed 2, hated that one), Liam Neeson movies, Nicholas Cage movies.
You may have noticed that I did not list the Twilight movies up there with LotR, HP, CoN, SW, etc. That is because I despise Twilight. For the full rant, please see my livejournal.
