December 2008 Update

The entire page has been revamped. Everything's been moved into new organization, new material has been added, some old material has been removed. This is still basically a place for me to showcase my work and creativity, and also a place for me to practice and try new things in HTML. Take a look around and enjoy yourself. ^_^

About Me...

I go by many names. My account on fanfiction.net calls me "Orodruin", my handle on the net is usually "winterstrife", and my preferred penname is "R. Winters."

As for my likes... I like a lot of things. I'm interested in Japanese culture and manga and anime; I like the game Go, the X-Wings book series, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and my puppy, Kova. There isn't much I dislike, but there are some things. I don't like it when my hands are cold, even though they usually are, I don't like steak, and I hate cruelty towards anyone.

My hobbies include karate, reading, writing, playing video games, learning Japanese, and training. My dream is to get a job with the FBI... I'd also like to get married and have two kids while I'm dreaming.
