I've been online for about seven years now. I wrote my first fanfic in 1998, before I knew what a Mary Sue or angst was. I'm painfully aware of how much those old stories suck.
My first site was made in Word and hosted at Geocities. Since then, the quality and material have evolved a bit. Nowadays I hand code the site myself with some help from my friends around the 'Net.
I joined FanFiction.net in the fall of 2002 and Live Journal in the fall of 2003 and through those sites I found some of my best friends online. I went all the way to London to see one of them in the spring of 2007.
I also met NYgoldfish54 in 2003, and we've been partners in crime ever since. I love co-writing stories and spending all night talking about nothing at all with her. The time zones have never stopped us.
My Nickname: Tuffy, as in the gray little mouse with diapers from Tom & Jerry. Not sure how that one got stuck.
My Philosophy: Nothing worth having comes easy.

- Italy (1991) with my mom
- The Canary Islands (1996) with my brother and my mom
- England (2002) in an exchange program
- Finland (2003 & 2005) for a class trip and with my friend Jennie
- England (2007) with my boyfriend to visit my online friend Kathleen in London

My Online Hang Outs: Facebook & Live Journal
I was raised in Dalarna, a county in the north of Sweden. After years of endless boredom, my urge to leave the small town for something greater brought me all the way to Stockholm. My plan was to study but it didn't quite suit me, so I decided to stay and find a job. After a few unsuccessful interviews with McDonald's, I ended up in the money handling business and I've stayed there ever since.
I don't plan to ever grow up or get a decent job, but I'm sure it'll happen someday nonetheless. I could sort of see myself as a journalist or in the hotel business. Either way, I'd like to be rich one day, so I buy lottery tickets and watch stupid game shows.
I'm a huge grammar freak. I'm mostly liberal. I hate working.
I love my friends. I make a complete ass out of myself almost every day. I love my hair. I'm almost always happy. I'm very honest and straight-forward, so if you can't take the truth, don't ask for my opinion. I'm super loyal.
I currently live with a friend in the middle of Stockholm city and sometimes I get a visit from the world's bravest hyena, Sting.
