Last edited 3 December 2017 (see, I'm still alive!) I'm all over Ao3 these days, and consider this account basically an archive of my youth. Favorite Quotes: "Sorry, I was just staring into the distance and you got in my way." - Kit from chapter 3 of He Just Won't Quit by crazygingercatlady "So peace, bro, and don't be a dick." - A friend, signing off from a deviantart entry "Life is the messy bits." - Claire from Letters to Juliet "Nonsense wakes up the brain cells." - Dr. Seuss "The world is more malleable than you think and it’s waiting for you to hammer it into shape." - Bono "I may be rancid butter/ but I’m on your side of the bread." - Hornbeck, to Rachel. From Inherit the Wind, by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee "One day I’ll jump/ Out of my skin./ I’ll shake the sky/ like a hundred violins." - Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street "There is no certainty. There is only adventure." - Source unknown, but there's a picture. "I can see beauty where others see ugliness. That either makes me an artist or a person of very poor taste." - Oh look, another picture! "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." - nabbed it from a friend's Facebook "You don't have to end up working in a cubicle. If you're creative, and ambitious, then you have other options." - my AP Psych teacher, slightly paraphrased "There's no such thing as a free lunch" - old adage Favorite Song Lyrics: "...I'm that girl you can't shut up..." -Jude Harrison (Alexz Johnson), That Girl "...'cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it..." -Fall Out Boy, Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year "...What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?/ And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?..." -P!nk, Dear Mr. President "...Well, Americans, what?/ Nothing better to do?/Why don't you kick yourself out?/ You're an immigrant too..." -The White Stripes, Icky Thump "...Well what a shame/'cause everyone's heart doesn't beat the same/ it's beating out of time..." -Green Day, City of the Damned "...but it was not your fault but mine/ and it was your heart on the line/ I really fucked it up this time/ didn't I, my dear?..." -Mumford and Sons, Little Lion Man "...I can't sleep/ let's run away/ and don't ever look back/ don't ever look back..." -Katy Perry, Teenage Dream "...I surrender happily..." -Without Love, from Hairspray "There are places I'll remember/ All my life though some have changed/ Some forever not for better/ Some have gone and some remain/ All these places had their moments/ With lovers and friends I still can recall/ Some are dead and some are living/ In my life I've loved them all..." -The Beatles, In My Life "..et rappelle-toi que tu peux avoir le monde à tes pieds si tu te laisses pas abattre par ceux qui te laisse de côté..." -Cœur de Pirate, Francis (translation). This is actually such a beautiful song, I love it! Me in a Nutshell: I'm absolutely nuts about languages. I love learning them, and hope to learn as many as possible in my lifetime. I'm also nuts about music, visual arts, and drama, though I'm terrible at all of these. I love to read and write (clearly). I'm terrible about doing my homework (except French), and I can't write an essay to save my life. I am in love with my ASMR. I have too many interests, and so I often start projects and take forever to finish (this, sadly, extends to fanfiction, but I'm working on that). I'm one huge mess, and I like it that way. Fics/Chapters in Progress: -an as-of-yet unnamed Gilmore Girls fanfic - Rogan, post-series. There will be a custody battle... -an as-of-yet unnamed Tamora Pierce fanfic - Blayce has always intrigued me, especially since my iPod shuffle drabbles -a Harry Potter fanfic - AU, Marauders, LilyxJames. Durmstrang and Beauxbatons play a starring role. -next chapter/rewrite of Ditty - On hold, probably to be compressed back down to a oneshot. -next chapter of Life Starts Now - Sooner than you think -next chapter of Side by Side - a ways off -next chapter of Yesterday - Sooner than you think -next chapter of A Long, Long Match - Sooner than you think Hey, you actually read it! - breezy |
