Favorite Quotes:
"Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault." - Dr. David M. Burns

"Love isn't about finding the perfect person...it's about seeing an imperfect person... perfectly."- Anonymous

"Real girls aren't perfect and perfect girls aren't real."- Unknown (I found this on an icon and I liked it because it's so true)

The following quotes (plus many more) in the form of icons, can all be found here.

"Twilight makes me weep for the future of literature."

"Twilight made me cry because I could feel a part of my brain dying"

"My boyfriend is better than both Edward Cullen and Jacob Black"

"JK Rowling proved that some young adult novels can be over five hundred pages. Stephenie Meyer proved that some shouldn't be."

"Cold, dead and sparkly? In what way is that hot?"

Goal: Get at least one story published before I graduate from college!

Likes: writing and reading (duh!), Titanic (ship not the movie), vampire romances, Harry Potter, history, Lost, So You Think You Can Dance, etc.

Dislikes: rude and obnoxious people, cliched high school romances, cliched and purple prosed filled novels (ex: Twilight) and oh, people who accuse others of doing something without the full story and/or without listening to the the other person in the first place.. etc.

TO ELLA: I don't know if you will read this, but since you reviewed one of my poems and not one of my stories and you left no email address (how cowardly of you) then this was the only way I could think of to respond to your little comment. But, let me get this straight... I have a right to my opinion, but I'm not allowed to express it since you don't agree with it? Wow, that makes a lot of sense. You, my dear, are a hypocrite. I don't constantly say I hate it on here, I only mention it once in my dislikes and I have a few quotes from avatars that I found were pretty funny. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's not like I'm insulting you for liking the book. Yea, I hate it. But, I don't go around starting fights with the fans (like so many of the fans seem to like to do with the haters). And, you think Stephenie Meyer is a good writer, I happen to disagree. I think she has some good ideas, but she just doesn't execute them very well. Her writing is full of amateurish mistakes that I would not expect a woman with a degree in ENGLISH to make. There are many grammatical, spelling and sentence structure mistakes as well that could have easily been caught, had Meyer read through what she had written or her editor had actually done their job. I could really go on with more reasons as to why I hate the book and Meyer's writing.

And, I attempted to read The Host, really I did... but I just couldn't stomach it at all. Also, there is a line in there that goes something like this: “This body did not belong to me or to Melanie, but to Jared”... No... just NO. I'm not that big of a feminist, but that line alone really pissed me off. It's completely disgusting and so anti-feminist. I mean women are not objects for men to claim as "theirs".

Sorry, but I'm not going to change my profile information, because, honestly, it's the internet, I can say what I want. It's not like I'm insulting you. Or hurting you in anyway. You're just mad because I don't like a book series that you do. Please go read some real vampire literature and stop getting all pissy just because I dared to insult your "precious" book series.

By the way, next time it might be to your advantage to send me a PM, email me (my email is located on my profile) or at least leave an email address so that I can answer you personally and not announce my response to the world on my profile. Thanks!

If it isn't already obvious... no, I do not like Twilight and yes, I have read the book. I have many reasons as to why I don't like it and to be honest, I don't really care if you happen to like it. As long as you are not a psychotic fangirl who thinks Edward/Jacob is real and is going to come for you some day or if you can respect the fact that I don't like the series (this means that you don't call me names for not liking it) then I think we would get along really well. I have many friends who love the series and we still get along well because they're not psycho about it and they respect the fact that I don't like the series at all. Please don't waste your time PMing me or leaving a rude review about how much you hate me or how stupid you think I am, because... to be honest... I DON'T CARE and all I will do is laugh at your pathetic attempts at insulting me. Please, people... go read some real literature and stop accusing everyone who writes about vampires as copying Stephenie Meyer... she did not invent vampires (or vampire romances), they have been around for years (Dracula, anyone?) and they will continue to be around long after the Twilight obsession finally dies down. I swear, if I get one more PM about how I am copying Twilight with my vampire stories, I'm seriously going to hit something or someone!

I absolutely love to write. I don't think I'm that good yet, but that's why I'm here. I really want to reach my goal of getting one book published before I graduate from college. In order to do that, I need as much help with all my stuff, I need people to tell me what they like and what they don't like and what could be improved. The one story that I am really looking at for publication is "Expect the Unexpected", so I would appreciate as much feedback on that as I can get.

Anyway, now that that is said, time to bore you to death with my mini biography...

I'm pretty much your average girl, well, okay not really, I HATE TO SHOP. Seriously, anyone who wants me to go with them to the mall, has to drag me kicking and screaming the entire way... and I'm no fun because the whole time I'm like "are we done, yet? Can we go now?" :)

I'm also really kind of random. I mean, I laugh at the stupidest things. And I change the topic of discussion at random all the time. It annoys everyone, it's kind of fun and also kind of sad. But what can I say? I'm a dork.

I'd have to say, though, that only my friends know the true me, I come off as quiet at first... but I'm really not, once I open up to you.

My story ideas come from my brain most of the time. My poems, on the other hand, come from my heart.

My characters are loosely based on friends.

Okay, I lied, they're really the type of girl I sometimes wished I was. Yea, I know, I'm quite pathetic.

Please read and review my stuff! I love getting new reviewers/readers (makes me feel special :)) So, at least take a look, it couldn't hurt, could it?

And if you are a dedicated reader and/or reviewer, thanks! Your support makes me write more and more... okay, not really, but it makes me write faster knowing that people will actually be reading what I worked so hard on...(makes me get off my lazy ass). I would say that the more reviews I get the faster I'll update, but that is such a lie, so I won't.

Classes I'm taking Spring 2009:
History of Europe, 1914-1945
History of Africa Since 1800
Senior Seminar
Instructional Technology, P-12 Teaching Fields

NOTE: I don't own (or claim to own) the pictures that I have posted of my characters (nor do I know the models in them, so please don't ask!).

CURRENT POEMS:

I'm Sorry- a poem I wrote for a Creative Writing assignment. We were suppose to write down five things that people said to us in the past that hurt our feelings and include them in a poem... I think it's good for my first ever poem...
It's about being yourself, and not letting others influence anything you do...

Thanks- Just saying thanks to someone for showing me true love and seeing me for me... kind of personal.

Love is...- I wrote this for the Literary Art Magazine love contest at my school. It tied for third. Please tell me what you think!

I'm Not Perfect- This is similar to "I'm Sorry" but the message is different...

God's Angel- I wrote this as a dedication to a friend that recently died in a car accident, as well as her family for the dark times that lie ahead for them.
