French and German I can do! It's bonjour (hello) and au revoir (good bye). German is guten tad (good day) and auf wiedersehen (good bye). And yeah, I've no idea 'bout Spanish, I want to learn it but can't until next year. So if anyone ever wants to know some (emphasis on some) stuff on french or german I might (emphasis again) be able to help.

Oh, I feel sorry for you, I had bad teachers before, but it's not a foreign language though. I don't much like bad teachers, either, My seventh grad science was not that great, Wait, what am I talking Ms. M wasn't good at all, bad teacher actually, her class was always nightmarish, and I was in the worst class in all of her classes.

I got mine... well I made it up. Lady Starbright is a character in one of my fics, but she was based on me, so for lack of anything else I called myself Lady Starbright on ff.net but shortened it to Starbright on here. Yeah, that's it. I don't have any exciting story to tell. So, the rest of you?

Well...it all ready started when I was 11 and I first joined a Hamtaro message board (the famous Ham-Ham Headquarters) and my friends insisted I get Yahoo! Messenger. I decided it couldn't hurt so I did get it, but when it came to choosing my name, I didn't know what to put. I tried Bijou, my favorite character in Hamtaro. Sadly, that name was taken so I tried Jenna Bijou. It came out as Jenna_Bijou and it stayed.
Soon I met a new friend who wrote a series of Hamtaro fanfiction and I was his beta. He wanted me to review his stories and insisted I get a account on Fanfiction.net. So I choose Jenna_Bijou as a name. I didn't really think it mattered much because I was just there to review his stories.
Soon, after a little war on the Hamtaro message board I was on and the owner deleting it, I stopped using the internet for a long time, but I started using my account on Fanfiction.net when I turned into a HP fan. But I didn't like Jenna_Bijou anymore. I wanted to use Little Dreamer, but that name was taken. At the spur of the moment, I came up with Gift of Imagination and used it.
So it went on like that for a while until reading a post on a Haunted Mansion RPG where they nicknamed me "Gift". I liked the nickname, but I realized my pen name wasn't really that much of a name so I shortened it to Gifted. They still call me Gift or Rose, but I found I like Gifted better. It's a weird, but that's my story.

Well, thought it was kinda of obvious. Actually my signature speaks out. It's HP.
Um, Lets start when I was around seven or eight. I didn't like to read, and I was really bored, so my mother made me read, the only book in the house that was suitable or pretty close to it at the moment was Harry Potter. So I started reading! I got bored of course that first five chapters, but as some more time whent by, I got in to chapter six, and I was hooked. As the years whent and more books came out, I was more attracted. By thirteen, when Gifted insisted I read some of the most excellent fics, I tried it and liked it. Well, kinda, half interested. The more I thought of them, the more I wanted to join. At that time I didn't really know how to use a computer, and was not to excited to go online, so that idea stayed a wish. Finally one day, I couldn't help, but to create an account. I didn't know what to call my self, so I came up with
JamesProngsPotter.
Well, didn't know what else, so I kept that for a while not removing it. I didn't do anything with my account because I didn't know how, so nobody knew on the net, except my friends. Well, after a month or two, I wanted to write one, so that's how I got my first story Sitting Trouble up! Then Gifted said I ought to have a better name, so we thought for a while and came up with many, but TheMagicWand, came to us as best. I had insisted it to be a harry Potter style one so yeah. Then, one night Gifted, and I was talking on the phone like always. We happen to be talking about fanfiction, and my sister comes on the phone to eavesdrop. I think at the time we were talking about pennames, and we were thinking something related to Remus Lupin, so my sister said after a while Moongazer, so I changed my penname. Well, plain old Moongazer was taken, so I put 123 after it. After, I don't know, maybe, four or five months, I thought I could change 123 to something else, so I thought 7 as in the most magically powerful number. So, I put that. The thing is I created this board in september of 2006 you see, so I was too lazy to change it. Then, I joined some of the forums, after figuring out how to work them, and what they were. Then people started calling me Moon, so I thought, "Hey, is Moongazer too Long to write?" I found it so sometimes, so I decided I would go ahead to change my signature here to Moony, and get people to call me that instead of Moon! Well, Moon is okay too, but kinda of strange to me.
So yeah, that is my long explanatory story. so anyone else?

My dad is a computer geek. My brother is a lazy video game geek. My mom is a fan of collectibles. That's my family and they are very confusing and funny. My aunt told me two years ago that I should go around and video tape everything. It would make a famous T.V show and I'd make millions.

My dad is a somewhat computer obsessed person. He does a lot of programming, and work at a mercantile, being the middle people for factory and company. Here makes lots of charts, and is brilliant. Oddily, my dad loves to research English stuff. My mom is a Register nurse, who works about three days a week, twelve hours a day, and is doing mother and baby. She is doing pospardom, when they come out of Labor. She deals with NICU too, and does, the Nursery too.
My sister is five years younger then me. Um, atheletic, on a gym team, obsessed with computers games, computer slides, drawing, and kittens. She likes to read a little bit, but not as obsessed as I am! Oh, she watches a lot of T.V. too. Oh, now she is sick! I think it's jjust the cold though!
