Got ink?

I fell in love with books at a young age. My mother used to read me all kinds of stories, my father even made some up for me. And I guess that's why I learned to read when the books could barely fit into my tiny hands.

I fell in love with writing after my first essay at school. The subject hasn't been interesting to me but the way the words flew out of me through the pen onto the paper, it seemed like magic. Even now I think of reading and writing as a brand of magic I would perform all the time. Because that’s the magic I love.

I always wanted to be like my mother, so it’s not strange that I should take up my mother’s hobbies from her youth, reading and writing. I guess some ways I am like her and in some I’m not. It doesn’t matter anyway what little I am like her has brought me much joy. Reading I go places and meet people. Writing, I create people and places that I find interesting. I hope others will too, but first and foremost, I write for myself.

Hello, I’m Angie, and I hope you like my stories.

And now something I wanted to try:

IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)

2. Put it on shuffle

3. Press play

4. For every question, type the song that's playing

5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.

Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. So study hard and be evil.

"Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams

When you read a quote and says unknown at the end of it it’s because they can't spell anonymous

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for my kick boxing.

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much

Here's to you and here's to me, and I hope we never disagree. But, if that should ever be, to HELL with you, here's to ME!

My mind works like lightning...one brilliant flash and it's gone.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and call whatever you hit the target.

The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds; the pessimist fears it is true.

Why be difficult, when with just a little bit of effort, you can be impossible?

Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now

When life gives you lemons, make grape juice, then sit back and let the world wonder how you did it

I'm not bossy, I just have better ideas

I'm not OPINIONATED I'm just always RIGHT

I used to have super powers, but then my therapist took them away.

Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence.

Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity was framed.

One day your prince will come. Mine? Oh he took a wrong turn, got lost, and is too stubborn to ask for directions.

My IQ test came back negative.

The Levels of Insanity
1. Talks to self.
2. Argues with self.
3. Loses argument with self.
4. Is no longer speaking to self.

Sarcasm. It's easier than actually having to deal with stupid people

Honesty is the best policy but insanity is a better defense.

They never suspect the short one. (Unless they're my friends, they suspect short people the most, don't know why.)

It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

People who don't know me think I'm quiet. People who do, wish I was.

I'm the type of girl who will burst out laughing in dead silence at something that happened yesterday.

Note to self: It is illegal to stab people for being stupid

Fighting is mind over matter. I don't mind, and you don't matter

Chaos, panic, pandemonium, my work here is done.

WARNING: Do NOT walk in my footsteps... I tend to walk into walls, and off the occasional cliff

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it.

"And I was trying to paralyze that small muscle in my cheek. That stupid clown smile that shows up whenever I Talk to you."

"He gave a great thrust to his sword - his hand did not withhold the stroke - so that the etched blade sang at her head a fierce war-song."

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

“I think he died for me” Emily Prentiss (Demonology)

It's funny that after all these years, she still gets the sparkle in her eyes whenever she sees him.& it's even funnier that he still smiles whenever he hears her voice. It was as if time was trying to tell them something-that they were meant to be.

DADDY”S RULES FOR DATING

Your dad’s rules for your boyfriend (or for if you’re a guy)

Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you’d better be delivering a package, because you’re sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you don’t peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter’s body, I will remove them.

Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don’t take this as an insult, but you and all your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about the issue, so I propose this compromise: you may come to the door with you underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the courses of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four: I’m sure you’ve been told that in today’s world, sex without utilizing a ‘Barrier Method’ of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and only word I need you to say on this subject is ‘early'.

Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.

Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don’t you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight: The Following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter. Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough too induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, mid-driff t shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater and a goose-parka, zipped up to her throat. Movies with strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided: movies which feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folk’s homes are better.

Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shot gun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.

Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of our car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a nice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as a wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car- there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face in the window is mine.

And of course, the one we all know and love:

The 10 Commandments of a Teenager!

1) Thou shall not sneak out when parents are sleeping. (Why wait that long?)

2) Thou shall not do drugs. (Alcohol lasts longer, not to mention it’s cheaper.)

3) Thou shall not steal from K-Mart. (Walmart has a bigger selection.)

4) Thou shall not be arrested for vandalism. (Destruction has a bigger effect, and why the hell would you let yourself get arrested?!)

5) Thou shall not steal from your parents. (Everyone knows grandma has more money.)

6) Thou shall not get into fights. (Just start them.)

7) Thou shall not skip class. (Just take the whole day off.)

8) Thou shall not kiss boys in school. (Kiss them outside instead.)

9) Thou shall not worry about tests. (Just cheat on them: better marks.)

10) Thou shall not help old ladies across the street. (Just leave ‘m in the middle.)
