Below are just some fairly important facts to tell you a bit about me:

FAVORITE QUOTES OF ALL TIME:

"Space is Only Time Visible In a Different Way..."

-Ivan V. Lalic, "Places We Love"

AND

"For never was there a story of more woe, than this of Juliet and her Romeo"

- Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet, Prologue, pg.2 l.3

ALSO

"Life sucks then you die...yeah, I should be so lucky"

- Stephenie Meyers, "Breaking Dawn"

HOBBIES: I enjoy reading, writing, and doodling/sketching in my free time. Some other hobbies include soccer, biking, playing piano, and drawing.

WISHES: To fly, to someday find that special someone to share my life with, to some day be able to run barefoot through wet Kentucky grass on long summer nights with music playing faaaaaar away...

MUSIC: My music basically ranges from classical to rap to country to screamo to rock to hiphop then to just to plain old pop. I seriously am very diverse in my likings and everything else. I used to listen to almost ALL types of music EXCEPT jazz. I absolutely loathed it! Really! If you were even to play a saxophone in front of me I would just fall on the floor screaming in agony for it to STOP! But then I got over it. Now I just hate oldies music. Like hippies-era stuff unless it's the rare good ones.

BANDS & SONGS: Mainly I listen to Mae, Owl City, A Day to remember, All American Rejects, Fall Out Boy, Plain White T's, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Paramore, Flyleaf, Coldplay, Evanscene, Demi Levato, Jesse McCartney, David Archeleta, Rascal Flats, FM Station, Metro Station, Simple Plan, Nickleback, Katie Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Natasha Bedingfield, Kesha, The Fray, Taylor Swift, RadioHead, The Snow Patrol, Mozart, Yiruma, and a lot more. I also listen to on and off people/bands I love then absolutely hate. My music life gets confusing and pretty hard for people to keep up with if they're not me.

MOVIES: Favorite movie of all time..hmm, that's a tough one. I like a LOT of movies. Mainly, I like the old 1940's/50's Brooklyn detective movies; some of the newer superhero movies like Batman, Spiderman, X-Men, Catwoman, etc; movies to die for like A Walk to Remember, The Notebook, Dear John, Letters to Juliet, The Last Song, etc; Peter Pan (Disney 2003 version); Sherlock Holmes; Percy Jackson; The Thief and the Cobbler(absolute FAVE nondisney movie), as well as many others.

PLAY: My favorite story/play of all time is and always will be: William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. (My favorite version of it by far is Disney's Mickey Mouse one; hilarious; pretty descriptive--though not as fully accurate--but still funny)

STORY: Other favorite story has GOT to be Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. The Simpson's version is actually pretty good too, funny nonetheless. Nevermore...

BOOKS:
- My favorite trilogy is by far the Gemma Doyle Trilogy. Libba Bray is a really good writer. I also enjoyed the Inkheart trilogy (Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath) by Cornelia Funke and I am really looking forward to buying the movie, even if some people have the nerve to think it sucked!!

- However, my two favorite series of books are Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Sagaand Joanne Kathlene Rowling's Harry Potterseries. Those two, in my opinion, are the best of the best, and I just can't choose one to rise above the tie. No, scratch that, I CAN TOO! From all my days reading both those two series/sagas I now consider wizards as the better characters than those stupid vamps and narrow minded humans (cough, cough Bella). No offense to any Twilight fans but the whole thing is getting pretty old, you gotta admit. Plus some are going way over the edge buying fake fangs and sleeping in Twilight sheets and pillows, wishing for dreams where they are Bella and in love with STUpid Edward (so not fair that they took Robert Pattinson away from Harry Potter to act as the new Edward for DIEing fans!) or dream that they are Edward and can run faster than chee-tahs. However, there are more Twilight girl fans than there are boys so the second one barely counts--if it does, then only for toddlers like my hopeless cousins. SO ANYWAYS--told you I babble a LOT!--no offense cuz I still do KINDA like the Twilight series, but overall, I have got to say Bella should have ended up with Jake--and I do not care if he's like her son-in-law!--and that's one of the many reasons why I have switched back to being a Harry Potter fan, ha! all you hopeless Twilight dorks! No offense; most of my friends share your interest. Wow, I do talk/write a lot. Sorry lol
But I can tell you, MOST people think the first Twilight movie sucked. Seriously, ask around! Go ahead!
Though New Moon was pretty good...
You know what? Screw judgementalism. Stephenie Meyers is alright.

- Other minor favorites are The House Of Night series, the Fallen series, the SWEEP series, stuff by Agatha Chrisite and Caroline B. Cooney, and tons of other stuff.

SHOWS: Bones, h20, and detective/murder shows.

SOOOOOOOO, 10 years from now, I see myself sitting on a counter in an old coffee shop, sipping an espresso and typing up my 395th attempt of a story on my failingly slow laptop. I assure you, I really am bad at actually completing stories, let alone actually making up good ones, (no matter what one of my best friends says.)

Now read this poem. I got it off JoshRamsay.GrimmFever's profile and it seriously is absolutely the most sweetest thing I have EVER read...

I'm sorry
that I bought you roses
to tell you that I like you.

I'm sorry
That I was raised with respect
not to sleep with you when you were drunk.

I'm sorry
That my body's not ripped enough
to "satisfy" your wants.

I'm sorry
that I open your car door,
and pull out your chair like I was raised.

I'm sorry
That I'm not cute enough
to be "your guy"

I'm sorry
That I am actually nice;
not a jerk.

I'm sorry
I don't have a huge bank account
to buy you expensive things.

I'm sorry
I like to spend quality nights at home
cuddling with you, instead of at a club.

I'm sorry
I would rather make love to you than just screw you
like some random guy.

I'm sorry
That I am always the one you need to talk to,
but never good enough to date.

I'm sorry
That I always held your hair back when you threw up, and didn't get mad at you for puking in my car,
but when we went out you went home with another guy.

I'm sorry
That I am there to pick you up at 4am when your new man hit you and dropped you off in the middle of nowhere,
but not good enough to listen to when I need a friend.

I'm sorry
I caught your boyfriend with another girl and told you about it, I thought that was what friends were for...

I'm sorry
That I told you I loved you and actually meant it.

I'm sorry
That I talked to you for nine hours on Thanksgiving when your boyfriend was threatening you instead of spending time with my family.

I'm Sorry
That I cared

I'm sorry
that I listen to you at night talking about how you wish you could have done something different.

I'm sorry
If I start not being there because it hurts being used as a door mat, only to be thrown to the side when the new jerk comes around.

I'm sorry
If I don't answer my phone anymore when you call, to listen to you cry for hours, instead of getting a couple hours of sleep before work.

I'm sorry
that you can't realize... I've been the one all along.

I'm sorry
If you read this and know somebody like this
but don't care.

But most of all

I'm sorry
For not being sorry anymore.

I'm sorry
That you can't accept me for who I am.

I'm sorry
I can never do anything right, and nothing that I do is good
enough to make it in your world.

Another very sweet thing...

A True Boyfriend:

When she walks away from you mad
Follow her. When she stares at your mouth
Kiss her. When she pushes you or hits you
Grab her and don't let go. When she starts cussing at you
Kiss her and tell her you love her. When she's quiet
Ask her whats wrong. When she ignores you
Give her your attention. When she pulls away
Pull her back. When you see her at her worst
Tell her she's beautiful. When you see her start crying
Just hold her and don't say a word. When you see her walking
Sneak up and hug her waist from behind. When she's scared
Protect her. When she lays her head on your shoulder
Tilt her head up and kiss her. When she steals your favorite hat
Let her keep it and sleep with it for a night. When she teases you
Tease her back and make her laugh. When she doesn't answer for a long time
reassure her that everything is okay. When she looks at you with doubt
Back yourself up. When she says that she likes you
she really does more than you could understand. When she grabs at your hands
Hold hers and play with her fingers. When she bumps into you
bump into her back and make her laugh. When she tells you a secret
keep it safe and untold. When she looks at you in your eyes
don't looks away until she does. When she misses you
she's hurting inside. When you break her heart
the pain never really goes away. When she says its over
she still wants you to be hers. When she re-post this bulletin
she wants you to read it - Stay on the phone with her even if shes not saying anything.-

When she's mad hug her tight and don't let go-
When she says she's OK don't believe it, talk with her-
because 10 yrs later she'll remember you-
Call her at 12:00am on her birthday to tell her you love her-
Call her before you sleep and after you wake up-

Treat her like she's all that matters to you.-
Tease her and let her tease you back.-
Stay up all night with her when she's sick.-
Watch her favorite movie with her or her favorite show even if you think its stupid.-

Give her the world.-
Let her wear your clothes.-
When she's bored and sad, hang out with her.-
Let her know she's important.-

Kiss her in the pouring rain.-
When she runs up at you crying, the first thing you say is;
"Who's ass am I kicking babe?"

So sweet, right?

Now that you know basically most of the things that people who personally know me already know, and other stuff you really didn't need to know, feel free to check in on my fanfics. I assure I will try to type up a chapter every weekend, if schoolwork doesn't get in the way and if my laptop decides to have mercy and not blank out on me. So tune in once in a while if you're curious. Try and see if you have the time to read any of my fanfics and maybe even review. Please?

BEWARE!!

DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU DON'T PLAN ON READING Remember to Never Forget !!
I just started my first chapter of a different story since you guys didn't seem to like my first one since YOU DIDN'T REVIEW! So anyways, it's called Remember to Never Forget. It's about a teenage girl, Alex, who's fraternal twin sister, Alice, disappeared on their 14th birthday. Then, when Alex is 17, she somehow finds her way to Faerie and meets these strange people demanding for her help in restoring peace to their land by defeating the pixie king, who was the one who set his evil pixies to kidnap Alice in order to be his queen three years ago. So, using her gift of telepathy, Alex tries to help save Faerie before it's too late and she has to decide between the two things she values most in her world. So, if you like it, PLEASE REVIEW!

Sorry for freaking out 'n everything. Just bored now, I guess. Oh yeah, thanx for all who've reviewed for at least one of my story--Remember to Never Forget. I have to agree the first one is kinda boring so it's okay if you don't review, not less read it. Bored again. Oh and BTW: I just got an idea for a new Fairy Tales story; I'll probably publish it sometime this month or next. Stay tuned for it if you're curious. If not, I don't really mind. I'm kind of in a mellow mood this weekend. Greatest picnic ever! S'anyways, review if you can, now and then, time and time again.

BEWARE!!
SPOILERS!!
DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU DON'T PLAN ON READING You Are My Everything!!
S'up guys? Nutin much here. Suffering from writers block on YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING. See, it's a fanfic on Remus's and Tonks's life in Hogwarts and all about how they fall in love and shtuff. Yes, it's a HP fanfic and if you don't know what hp stands for, than that's just sad and wrong!! Anyways, it's all about how Remus has to refrain from swallowing her up when he's weak and vulnerable enough to the monster within him. If you haven't read any of the harry potter books in the series, I suggest you don't read this! However, if you want to, you can cuz stuff will be explained in there like who Dumbledore is, what's Quidditch, how people Apparate, and pther stuff. I'm also planning on having Tonks have to choose between Remus and-- well, this other guy you would know about if you read and review! Plus, both Tonks n Remus have a secret they don't want to share. AND, tis explained in the story why Tonks doesn't like to be called Nymphadora.

8-21-09
All I havta say today is please...if you have the decency to read one of my stories...reviews would be helpful. Seriously, though, I will not update without them. Especially "Thru Thick & Thin", my Sisters Grimm fanfic.

Well that's pretty much it! So...

Ciao 4 now,
