Hi there! Alright let's give this profile a try! I'm Emily, and I'm a freshman in high school. To FanFiction, I'm fairly new, but so fair, I'm Kickin' it! I'm a total crazy person, and never shut up. Well...that's a lie. I shut up when it's important or I'm sad. I'm the type of person, that well I guess you could say, I'll do a lot of things for kicks. I love to go outside of the box, and no matter what, I won't give up on anyone or anything until I have to. I'm very passionate (so people say) and once I'm into something it sticks with me for life.

About my fanfic account... Most or all of them will be a character, that has been played by Patrick Swayze, about The Outsiders, or it'll be straight on about him...

Now onto the fun stuff.

I AM COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY IN LOVE WITH PATRICK WAYNE SWAYZE. He is my life. I live and breath Swayze. If there actually was a disease called "Swayze Crazy" I'd probably be the worst case.

If you're Swayze Crayze and know it, add this to your profile!!! :D

Now, I love Patrick for every reason in the book possible. No matter what flaw he may have, I'm in love with it too. Even if I don't like it, (ex: his smoking and drinking) it legitmately does not phase me. Nor does any person, or human being who may be attractive, nobody, and I mean NOBODY, beats Buddy Swayze. I know a lot about him...maybe too much, but hey when you're in love, you should know a lot, right?

The Outsiders is the other half of my life, and it just so happens that Patrick plays my favorite character from the book, Darrel, in the 1983 movie. I do love every single one of the gang, though. Each has a special place in my heart :) Before I fell in love with Swayze and knew he was in The Outsiders, Darrel was still my favorite character. A lot of people think Darry is hard and cold, but to me, I think he's one of the most emotional people in that book. That totally sounds crazy, but by not showing his feelings a lot, I feel like he shows it more deeply, than other characters who express it. Darrel has this thing about him, that draws you in, and makes you wish you knew more. And that's why he was my favorite. He's just a kid that grew up too fast, and took on a father position way too early.

I am an emotional wreck, I can not stress this enough. Hence why I cry at every single Patrick Swayze movie. Even Roadhouse...and I didn't think that was possible. I miss my Buddy, even though he wasn't mine. He didn't deserve what was brought upon him, but even through one of the toughest cancers, he fought like the true cowboy he is. No matter what age, where he is, or if he is dead, I'll continue to love him. I take a quote from Ghost...

"It's amazing, Molly. The love inside, you take it with you when you die."

Just like Stay Gold, this speaks to me. It shows me, that no matter what, I know that one day, I think I'll meet him. Whether it be because they invented a DeLorean time machine, or it's because of heaven, I have hope. Maybe he doesn't love me personally (oh lord, if he did...) but I know he loved his fan base, and I sure as hell am part of that. Life is full of ups and downs, but the only thing you can do is make the best of it, and go along for the ride.

If you see Johnny as a deep person like Ponyboy does, add this to your profile.

Don't want a knight in shining armor; I want a greaser in Converse and hair grease!

If you're against animal cruelty, then copy this into your profile!

If you're against animal experimentation, then copy and paste!

If you're born in the wrong time period, then copy and paste!

Rest In Peace, Patrick Swayze (Darry Curtis)

"Patrick lived a hundred lifetimes in one. I will remember him for that, and I will remember him for how much he loved his wife Lisa. He was such an intense actor, so full of passion and vigor. He definitely made the most out of it. It's a sad day... He played my brother twice, so I feel like I lost a brother today. " Rob Lowe

"I have always had a special place in my heart for Patrick. While I was fortunate enough to work with him in three films, it was our passion for horses that forged a friendship between us that I treasure to this day. Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older Outsidersbrother. My heart goes out to not only his entire family, but all his fans as well." Tommy Howell

"Patrick fought the ultimate fight as passionate as he embraced his life—with strength, dignity and grace. His love of his work and family was inspirational. He touched so many...I am proud to have shared in his journey... Remembering my fellow greaser. Stay Gold, buddy." Ralph Macchio

You Know You're Obsessed With The Outsiders When...

You laugh every time you drink a soft drink for reasons unknown to people around you.

You name your horse (or any other pet) Ponyboy.

You've looked up Robert Frost poems before, just to read Nothing Gold Can Stay from a million different sources.

You've read Gone With the Wind, even though it's more than a thousand pages long, for no other reason except because it was mentioned in The Outsiders.

If you HAVE read Gone With the Wind, you get randomly excited and squeal at the page where it quotes exactly, "riding into sure death because they were gallant".

You've started wearing black leather jackets, old jeans, and white t-shirts a lot more than you usually do.

You've researched the 60s for fun, and you have asked questions concerning the 60s to your baffled history teacher.

You've tried slicking back your hair with hair gel/grease and squealed happily at the results.

You've bleached your hair just because Ponyboy did.

You've started caring about your hair a lot more than you did before.

You've stopped getting haircuts.

You daydream about the greasers and imagine yourself in their time period.

You have a sudden urge to eat bologna...although you may think it tastes like spicy dirt.

Your fear of fire has suddenly become a bit disturbing or you can't be around fire without bawling.

You suddenly start looking for greasers when you're out of your house.

You compare random people to The Outsiders characters when you see them.

You've started using the words, "ain't", "golly", "gee", "dig", "tuff", and other old slang words proudly, not paying attention to the weird stares you're getting from people around you.

You've read the book so many times you could quote entire pages from it.

You love your English teacher for getting you to read it.

You announce to your stunned parents that your new favorite cartoon character is Mickey Mouse.

You want to hit people when your teacher's showing the Outsiders movie, and they don't pay attention to it/laugh at it.

You rush up to every random person reading the book, squealing and babbling about how amazing the book is, and how much they're gonna love it so much. You say these thing to COMPLETE STRANGERS too.

You suddenly wish you had a southern accent, and you love people who actually do.

You've developed a sudden interest in old movies.

You do a double take each time someone says the word "soda" or "pony".

You laugh every time you drink Pepsi (Ponyboy's addiction) or Coke (Dally/Cherry incident)

You write "Stay Gold" as the last line of every letter you write.

You've paused the movie at the very beginning when Ponyboy writes in his composition book, and tried to copy his handwriting.

You've wondered what it would be like the live as a greaser in the 1960s.

You and your best friend spend three hours running around the mall asking random people where you can find some white and black Converse high-tops, just because Ponyboy has white ones and Johnny has black. Then you spend all your mom's birthday money buying some.

You spend twenty bucks at the bouncy ball machine, trying to get a red one. Then when you do, you walk around your subdivision for hours, bouncing it like Ponyboy does in the beginning of the movie.

You laugh hysterically when you really do "step out into the sunlight from the darkness of the movie house"

Certain songs remind you of characters/gang.

You've committed the Nothing Gold Can Stay poem to memory

You've written (or are writing) multiple fanfictions relating to the Outsiders

You start quoting the book.

You've memorized the number page on your favorite parts

You make a list of Greasers and Socs using people you know.

When talking to someone who has never read it, you get defensive when they ask if Ponyboy was his real name.

You freak whenever you see a blue Mustang. (Emily here, I literally pee my pants..I'm scared to death of 'em!)

You've read the book multiple times

After reading it again, you wonder at the details. (Like why Sodapop signed his full name on his letter to his little brother. Did he think that he'd been forgotten? Or why they mentioned the nightmares...?)

You go to Dairy Queen. While at said restaurant, you order bar-bq-sandwiches and banana splits.

You contemplate the meaning of "gallant"

You start calling your group of close friends a gang

You watch sunsets (and sunrises)

You say "Oh My (S. E.) Hinton" or "Oh My insert Outsiders character name here" instead of Oh My G. (from JanayOkay14)

When a friend asks you to borrow the book, you pause becuase you don't want to part with it

You point out all of the itty-bitty details that they got wrong in the movie (Dally's hair color, Ponyboy getting shoved instead of slapped, etc)

You eat chocolate cake for breakfast and immediately think of the the Curtises

You have to stop yourself from laughing whenever someone says "soda"

When someone says "pony" you immediately think "boy!"

You continually ask your history teacher about the Vietnam war, or anything else pertaining to the sixties

When people say sixties, you think of greasers and Socs, not hippies like most.

You have a GIGANTIC FAN ATTACK (bouncing up and down, hyperventilating...) when Ralph Macchio danced to "Stay Gold" (I had a huge attack! And after I had the attack, I started crying. JohnnyIsMyGoldSunset)

You read this list and laugh at how many things you've done

COPY AND PASTE THIS ONTO YOUR PROFILE IF YOU LOOOOOOVE The Outsiders! :D :D :D :D :D

Copy and paste to your profile if you have done any of the above things! XD I sure had fun writing it... :) Also add to it... Original by EternalBookworm

Socials may be large, Socials may be rough,
But man, oh man, them Greasers are tuff.
Socials got Mustangs Socials got cash,
But I heart Greasers that roll in trash.
Greasers are great, Greasers are bold,
Put on your Converse shoes and stay gold.

I'M A GREASER GIRL!
A GREASY, GREASY GREASY GIRL!
I'M TUFF, I'M LOUD,
AND SHOOT, I'M PROUD!!

"I'm only 14 and The Outsiders has taught me some valuable life lessons:

Ponyboy taught me that things are rough all over, and even though it may not seem like it, people deeply care about you.

Sodapop taught me that it's okay to be laid back sometimes.

Darry taught me to protect the ones I love.

Dally taught me that if you're tough, you won't get hurt.

Two-Bit taught me that it's okay to make a joke every once in a while.

Steve taught me that you should always stick by your best friends and that people WILL think you're weird if you do backflips off of cars.

And Johnny?

Johnny Cade told me to Stay Gold."
