There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.

-Washington Irving

"You who suffer because you love, love still more. To die of love, is to live by it.”
― Marius Pontmercy, in a letter to Cosette Fauchelevent, Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

About Moi:

~ I believe that God loves l'il sinful me more than I can ever know, and that He sent His Son Jesus to pay my unpayable sin-debt. I struggle, doubt, am imperfect, but overall I am a child of God. (Note: Christianity is much more than a religion - it's a family that, though imperfect, never ends, never shrinks, and, if it is on track, forgives and loves.)

~ I am a Mediator (INFP - T) according to 16Personalities and am a Type 4 on the Enneagram. (Note: If you match these results, we're never getting together. It just wouldn't work.)

~ Chocolate ice cream is my favorite dessert; a pleasant, perfect, creamy dream in a bowl and if you comment on the inordinate serving in my hands I will give you the lazy eye (you've been warned). (Bonus: Do tell if you get the eye reference.)

~ My fave movies: The Outsiders (1983), The Secret Garden (1993), Secondhand Lions (2003), The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Eagle (2011), The Giver (2014), Unbroken (2014), The Greatest Showman (2017), The Great Escape (1963), It's a Wonderful Life (1946), The Great Raid (2005), The Man from U.N.C.L.E (2015) and a host of others...

~ My fave TV shows: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Flash, Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Enterprise, Dickensian, Bonanza, House M.D., and Terra Nova.

~ My fave bands/musical artists: Marco Beltrami, TØP, Journey, Daniel Pemberton, Tom Adams, Son Lux, Imagine Dragons and a host of others...

~ My fave books: The Holy Bible, Les Misérables, Ender's Game, The Book Thief, Bloomability, Peter Pan, The Blue Sword, The Giver, The Chalk Box Kid, The Boxcar Children (#1), Eight Cousins, Dr. Thorne, Roxaboxen, Ivanhoe and a host of others...

~ My fave authors: Victor Hugo, Louisa May Alcott, Alexandre Dumas, Orson Scott Card, William Shakespeare, C.S. Lewis, Anthony Trollope, and a host of others...

~ I am a disorganized individual in every aspect of my life except within the small hidden facet in which I create and write. [I take no small delight in planning out, with dates and details, the timelines of my universes and the lives of the characters within them. I doubt there are many worthwhile characters out there whose whole stories were entirely written down for all eyes - Ex. Sodapop Curtis from The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and his unwritten final story arc. We really would've rather not known about that final aspect of his life, you witch.]

~ I like clowns. (My favorites being the Pierrot, Harlequin, and Whiteface.)

~ If any animal ever turned out to be more intelligent and diabolical than ever thought I believe it would be the rabbit.

I first created an account here on FanFiction solely to write one, just one mind you, fanfic for Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I did just that, published it, and after too long I finally, finally deleted the piece of crap. It was an overdramatic, dripping-with-woe piece of work. Note: Works in the beginning usually are overflowing with blood-and-thunder happenings, nonsensical, unsurprising twists, and melodramatic characters - keep that in mind before you think about adding a love-triangle to spice things up.

I have a butt-ton (forgive my potty-mouth) of works-in-progress, but (more for your benefit than mine) I will not be posting them until I finish them. After I eventually finish a story, I will periodically post chapters for y'all to tear apart or inhale.

My hoard of ideas stem from several diverse universes (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Dr. Thorne, The Flash, Terra Nova, Falling Skies, Les Misérables, etc.). We'll see if I can get a few standing and breathing one day.

God bless you!

Quotes which jab at my heart; go ahead, giggle and weep:

― Jewel, The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis

"A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.” - Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

"Citizens, in the future there shall be neither darkness nor thunderbolts, neither ferocious ignorance nor blood for blood…In the future no man will slay his fellow, the earth will be radiant, the human race will love. It will come, citizens, that day when all shall be concord, harmony, light, joy, and life.”
– Enjolras, Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

Certainly tears are given to us to use. Like all good gifts, they should be used properly." - Loretta Young

"Promise to give me a kiss on my brow when I am dead. --I shall feel it." She dropped her head again on Marius' knees, and her eyelids closed. He thought the poor soul had departed. Eponine remained motionless.

All at once, at the very moment when Marius fancied her asleep forever, she slowly opened her eyes in which appeared the sombre profundity of death, and said to him in a tone whose sweetness seemed already to proceed from another world:-- "And by the way, Monsieur Marius, I believe that I was a little bit in love with you.” - Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

"Love all, trust a few,

Do wrong to none: be able for thine enemy

Rather in power than use, and keep thy friend

Under thy own life's key: be cheque'd for silence,

But never tax'd for speech."

- The Countess to Bertram (All's Well That Ends Well)

"I'm not a psychopath, Anderson, I'm a fully functioning sociopath. Do your research." - Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock; TV show)

Update: 11/29/19

I am currently going through a major rework of my notes, story buds, and personal thoughts/life (Like most everyone, I'm going through some scary schist in regards to life). I'm going to mostly write and finish before I publish; please don't think a lack of updates = a lack of progress/work.

God bless you all. I truly love you guys!
