General
My name is Cici Markham. My real name is name and address withheld. Cici Markham is my pen name that I use on all social media; that's the name I'm going to use when I become a famous writer. (I say "when" loosely.) Please, though- just call me Cici.

First and foremost, I am a writer. I've been writing since I was in the third grade (I'm almost 16 now), and I go to an arts high school for writing.

The Amazing World of Gumball is one of my favorite cartoons and is, in my opinion, one of the most creative out there. I used to be 100% about Regular Show, but that changed in 2014. Then I began watching TAWoG more frequently, and I grew to love it. I love the humor, the irony- everything.

My life can be pretty cruddy sometimes, but the internet is a nice distraction. And Chat is pretty great too :P

My Passions
I've been writing fiction stories and scripts since I was in the third grade. Fiction- and play-writing are my first loves in life. Poetry is a secondary love, as I have not been writing it as long.

I also write album reviews and post them to my blog, but if I gave you all the link, that would border on advertising.

Besides writing, I enjoy music quite a bit. I've been singing for a very long time now, and whether I'm very good or not remains to be seen. Of course, my family and friends think I rock, but eh. I'm more of a shower-singer than a performance-singer anyhow.

I enjoy acting as well, and have been in various productions during middle school. I'm not really much of an actress, but it's fun.

I took an avid interest in Meteorology when I was eleven years old, when I began watching the Weather Channel and learned more about severe storms and how they work. I fell in love with weather and the study of Meteorology then. I plan to minor in Meteorology in college (while majoring in Creative Writing). One of my many dreams is to go tornado-chasing one day.

My Musical Taste
I have very specific musical tastes. I get into certain bands for certain periods of time.

Some of the most notable bands that I enjoy/used to enjoy (in no particular order):

Nirvana- My older sister introduced me to the band a few years back. The first song I heard by them was "Come As You Are," and that song still holds a lot of memories for me. I reviewed their third (and final : album, In Utero, back in August 2014. (Well, I did half, and my sister was supposed to do the other half, but she never completed it.)

Favorite song(s): "Come As You Are" (Nevermind); "Pennyroyal Tea," "Very Ape" (both from In Utero)

Favorite album(s): In Utero, 1993

Counting Crows- I grew up listening to Counting Crows. My mother owned their 1993 debut, August and Everything After, and she would play some of the songs in the car- songs like "Mr. Jones" and "Round Here" (which is still one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard). Adam Duritz, the lead singer, is my favorite lyricist of all time because he has amazing poetry in his lyrics. I wish I could write song lyrics as well as he does.

Favorite song(s): "Ghost Train," "Round Here," "Anna Begins" (August and Everything After); "Children In Bloom," I'm Not Sleeping," "Another Horsedreamer's Blues," "Mercury" (Recovering the Satellites); "Scarecrow," "Earthquake Driver," "Palisades Park" (Somewhere Under Wonderland)

Favorite album(s): Recovering the Satellites, 1996

Linkin Park (not as much anymore)- LP was my favorite band in the seventh and eighth grades. They were all I'd listen to. Anything you want to know about them, I'll tell you. :P But, I don't find myself wanting to listen to them as much anymore.

Favorite song(s): (I'm not gonna be mean to you guys and list a ton like I did on Counting Crows' list, so I'll just name my all-time favorite) "The Catalyst" (A Thousand Suns)

Favorite album(s): Hybrid Theory, 2000


 * System of a Down- To be elaborated on
 * Coldplay- TBEO
 * Iron Butterfly (one of the most underrated bands ever)- TBEO

Video Games
I've been playing video games ever since I was four. My first console was a Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and is still my favorite console of all time. My first handheld was a green Gameboy Color.

My favorite game series is the Legend of Zelda series, and my favorite game of all time is A Link to the Past for the SNES.

I also enjoy Super Mario World (SNES), Donkey Kong Country (SNES), Illusion of Gaia (a very underrated game for the SNES), and Super Mario Kart (SNES), among other titles.

YouTube
I enjoy YouTube very much. My favorite YouTubers are:
 * Jacksfilms
 * nigahiga
 * Rhett and Link/Good Mythical Morning (GMM)
 * pleated-jeans (underrated genius)
 * Jarrod Alonge (another underrated genius)
 * Matthew Santoro

Friends
In no particular order, these are the users I think of as my friends:

[http://theamazingworldofgumball.wikia.com/wiki/User:Blue_Pant. Blue Pant.]: I met him, like I met everyone on this Wikia, on Chat. He's funny and makes me laugh with the dumbest/greatest stuff. I like talking to him in general. Elebizzyboi: I find him to be a funny, interesting individual who I get along with easily.

Gameuser10: Game is inspiring to me- he's not afraid to share what he believes in, and I can relate to him. He may hate that I'm saying this, but I look up to him.

StickVentures20: He and I became acquaintances within a few days of joining the Wikia. Stick can always manage to make me laugh, and he's a nice person overall.

Klonoamiyumi: I can relate to him a lot, and he doesn't mind me venting when I need to (which, in my opinion, is one of the best traits a person can have). He actually reads my long Tumblr posts :P He's funny and knows good music, and I like talking about Anime music with him.

Chuua: I don't know him too well, but he makes me laugh, and he should be on this list.

DistortedFlamingTurtle: I find him to be a funny guy and a very nice person.

I'm not going to accept requests from people I just met. I don't know a ton of people on the wiki, so bear with me. ''If your name is on this list, great. If it's not, wait.''

Remember, this page, like myself, is a WIP.
