For all of you reading my stories, do me a favor a leave a review...please? I would really like to know what you all think instead of just looking at my stats and saying "wow, 30 people viewing this...and no reviews" so let me know what's up :D

I am the moderator to a forum. Starvation has a lot of discussions, and competitions going on. A monthly one shot prompted challnge, and our Quarter Quell which is yearly. Feel free to stop by and check us out or send me a PM asking about it.

URGENT: PETITION AGAINST THE CATEGORY CHANGES IN THE TAMORA PIERCE SECTION

Please sign this petition - http:///online/30539.html

Change it back to the way it was!

General things about myself or my thoughts...

Just a minor rant here, why is it that no one reviews completed stories. I check the stats to my stories every so often. I have over a hundred visitors, not hits, visitors for the month of february, I've only posted one new story but so far only one person has only reviewed anything. SO come on people, you read something, review it its not hard a few words to describe what you liked, what you didn't, I don't care if rip my story to shreds, that only helps me improve myself. That ends my rant. for now anyway

How can a person truly explain something so another grasps the concept the same as you?

That is why I sit here scratching my head so many tales to be told yet so little time for the telling.

"Leave me in peace before I leave you in pieces."- my new favorite saying that I made up haha

"Better to stay silent and thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt" -

"I am the social butterfly who went and broke her wings"

Thought it was time for me to update this a little. I am currently a freshman at a University majoring in Biology to someday hopefully become a Wildlife Biologist. Other than that, well I guess I'm a pretty boring person at the time umm...yeah, but if you have any questions about me feel free to send me a PM or an Email.

Collaborations:

Replacing the Rogue:We always knew replacing George Cooper would be difficult. One person managed. Collaboration between Sweet Sassy Sarah and Kate of Carlay. Rated for violence.

My Stories: Most of my first stories here have been in the Tamora Pierce Books, but as of recently I have been focusing on The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Ever since the category change in TP, it was just a pain to navigate around there. So now I've been focsing on one shots and small things like that, I don't have the dedication to pull out a real multichap any time soon.

And of course a Thank you to xxTunstall Chickxx for being my Beta from the middle of The Abyss and has picked up the Shadow without a problem!

And also to Sweet Sassy Sarah who has filled in while xxTunstall Chickxx was on a well deserved vacation and has proved to be an amazing person.

I was bored so I decided to put a poem that I wrote up on here if anyone reads this feel free to PM me what they thought:

The Master Piece

Life is a blank sheet of paper.
At first it is clean and clear,
Then drawings begin to appear.
Colors fill in, and mistakes are made,
But not long after, these obstacles are slayed.

The corners are now bent and worn,
but long after it's time, it becomes torn.
Still this sheet now lays on the floor,
Yet so many still look at it and adore.

-ME-

Lynching

Here I am,
As I am,
See me as you please.
The torrent rushes beneath me, I hang helplessly.
Does that put you at ease?

Each step that led me here was laid out by those before me.
The cord that wraps around my neck,
That was meant to keep me safe and protect.
Carelessness and foolishness wove it's threads into one
but it forced me to rise early and as for resting, there is none.

So now here I am,
In this rift,
Upon one peak lies my angelicy,
There on the other rests my maturity.
Neither obtained nor needed,
But both wanted and worthy to be pleaded.
Why? Why me?! I scream.

Now the trap is ready to spring.
Do I fall back and let this noose catch me?
Or fall back on me and hope that I take wing.

~Me~

The pain.

The guilt of the pain.

Where does it all end?

Where does it even begin?

It’s not resentment.

It’s not jealousy meant.

It’s not even numb.

Where does this pain come from?

The pain comes when joy leaves,

When my homes makes a liar out of me.

The bird flies the nest, with no wish of return.

While the fledgling and egg wait in yearn.

The snake tries to steal the egg, making it its own.

The wind tries, but the nest will not be blown.

The egg sheltered within the shell of ignorance,

The fledgling puffs up in protective defiance.

Each time the bird flies

They wish to cry.

But when the mother bird smiles,

They know it’s worth their while.

The pain is there.

The pain of feeling forgotten.

The pain of being left without a care.

The pain of expectations for the never rotten.

My pain comes from so many facets.

Trying to hide tears in closets

Smiles stuck like crescents.

If eyes would open.

Or the guilt meet rope’s en’.

Maybe I could speak,

Not be so weak.

The fledgling watches the nest,

Never admitting the need of rest.

Crying out, but silent,

Wishing for some relent.

But never, even a moment.

Just a wish.

Maybe a mother’s kiss.

Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best ones are
at the top of the tree.The
boys dont want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree

I am the girl...that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird, and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cellphone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain.

But I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with Harry Potter, who can express herself beter with words than with words, and knows the importance of the little things.

Copy and Paste this onto your account if you are anything like me, so the girls who are diffrent and unique can know in their weakest times that they are unique, but not alone.
