Favorite quotes-

Worrying is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere.

During his 1956 presidential campaign, a woman called out to Adlai E Stevenson 'Senator, you have the vote of every thinking person!'
Stevenson replied 'That's not enough, madam, we need a majority!'

I love gay people, but I hate gay people who can't spell. Just like I hate straight, bisexual and transgender people who can't spell.

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. Eleanor Roosevelt

Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

A balanced diet is a muffin in each hand.

"I still haven't decided whether you're charming or absolutely terrifying."
"Your mistake is to assume one thing excludes the other!"

My passion is learning about stories and storytelling, which is why I'm here. No society since the beginning of time lacks stories which serve to guide people through the transitions and experiences of their lives. How we use stories to enrich our lives and learn about our world is endlessly fascinating to me, and fanfiction is the rawest and most emotional of any medium. Feel free to message me, I love to discuss books and stories, and have a good day!
