About Me:
*Ashley
*16
*I live in the oh so wonderfully crappy state of North Carolina in the oh so wonderfully crappy country of the United States
*I dont hate my country as much as that just sounded, but i dont love it either. Really it's just kinda there. Asking me to live anywhere else would be like suggesting i go to live on another planet. It's just that ridiculous.
*I have absoleutly no idea what I want to do with my life. Writing would be an option but I refuse to do anything were I would risk being poor. Money isn't everything but if you don't have it you sure as hell could end up with nothing.
*I'm hugely romantic, but most of the time I try to hide that because I don't like to be the stereotypical girl in any way.
*I love romance stories and a good cliche, though for the most part I try to avoid cliche's like the plague in my own story's. If there is a cliche I like to add an interesting twist so that the story's still unpredictable and I can feel unique.
*I'm not like some perverted maniac or something, but when they say "sex sells" I'm one of those people that they're selling it to, so in every story I write there will probably be some sort of sexual scene at one point or another. Probably bad enough to make you blush a little, but definetly not bad enough to make your hands start drifting downards, or to make them cover your eyes, depending on what type of person you are.
*I curse, so my characters will probably curse, depending on what type of person they are.
*I'm really not as corrupted as I or my story's probably sounded from those last two things. I'm actually infuriatingly innocent. So much so i'm thinking of going to a rave and shedding all traces of innocence, but the sad part is I don't know anyone who would hold a rave...and I wouldn't want to lie to my mother so I would tell her exactly where i was going, and of course she wouldn't let me...and if i did go I'd probably leave after two minutes out of pure fear. Yeah....the innocence isn't going anywhere...
*I love sarcasm.
*I'd be surprsied if you were still reading this.
About my stories:
Punk: It's on a momentary hold right now because I'm rewriting all the chapters, planning out the rest of the chapters, and just generally trying to figure everything out so this story can reach it's full potential, because after planning out the ending that i assure you will be amazing I can't give up on it now, and I want it to be all it can be (...am i trying to get it to join the navy?) I also want to switch it all to third person, though I'll ask my readers about that in the authors note of the next chapter before i do it...though if they say no I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with the story, cause though I suppose I could just switch viewpoints for the things I have planned I would really rather not.
Senior Dreams: Either discontinued or on hold for a really, REALLY, long time. I wrote the story a while ago (I wrote it during my freshman year in high school and it was semi-true, but then i just randomly stopped and now that I look back as I get ready to enter my junior year i see how stupid I was back then and i really dislike the story now, both for the poor writing quality and the poor plot (i.e. my pathetic fourteen year old life). If I ever continue with it it will only be after I majorly redo the story.
Chris: It's just a one-shot for now and it's probably going to stay that way for a really long time, if not forever. A lot of people have asked me to continue it and it's actually one of the only things I wrote in the past that I can look back on and not cringe and i really like it, so I might turn it into a full length story (which would be cool cause it would be like a mystery/romance thing and that would be the first thing i ever wrote that wasn't about teenagers, wasn't about people with normal everyday lives, and wasn't just straight dramatic romance) but if i do it won't be until after Punk is done, and even then not until after I do some serious thinking on the whole thing because I want to plan it out well and make sure I do it justice because I refuse for Chris to become like one of those Disney movies that were amazing in the beggining and then they go and make a sequel and you want to shoot the creators because not only was the sequel horrendous but it is so bad it has actually forever tainted your impression of the first one.
Quotes That I Love:
Buffy/Angel:
I do remember what I said.The promise. To protect her. If I'd done that...even if i didn't make it, you wouldn't of had to jump. I want you to know that I did save you. Not when it counted of course...But after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again and do something diffrent. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of diffrent ways....Every night I save you.
--Spike
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Real love isn't brains, children. It's blood. It's blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.
--Spike
People don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream, what they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive.
--Xander
Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be, Connor. It's harsh, and cruel. But that's why there's us. Champions.
It doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world was what it should be, to show it what it can be.
--Angel
Other TV Shows:
Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose yourself
--Boy Meets World
Mr. Feeny: Believe in yourselves. Dream. Try. Do good.
Topanga: Don't you meen "do well"?
Mr. Feeny: No, I mean "do good".
--Boy Meets World
Trust is a fragile thing. Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom. But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is, we never know who we can trust. Those we're closest to can betray us. And total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned
--Desperate Housewives
You do your thing, I'll do mine. You go your way, I'll go mine. And if we end up together, it's beautiful.
--Boy Meets World
To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it's best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.
--One Tree Hill (it's E.E. Cummings', but i heard it first on One Tree Hill)
As happens sometimes a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment...and then the moment was gone.
--One Tree Hill (again, this one's by John Stenibeck, but i heard it on Tree Hill)
Cory- 'Its an interesting feeling you know?'
Shawn- 'What knowing its over?'
Cory- 'No being the only guy in the world who knows its not.'
- Boy Meets World
Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty, this hatred. How did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us? That we now send our children out into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return but knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?
--One Tree Hill (probably by someone else, though i dont know who)
Quotes from fictionpress storys:
“ You know that feeling you get, when you’re about to jump into the pool? And you’re all dry, and you know you have to get wet. And you get ready to jump and you do it. You do it and your stomach flips and churns as you curl up and hit the water with all you’ve got. That’s the feeling I get whenever I’m around you. You’re a cannonball.”
--Cannonball, I'm with Sid Vicious
High school is like surgery. You can prepare for it all you want, but as soon as you get there, it’s out of your hands. You’re not in control anymore. You just have to close your eyes and pray that your doctor doesn’t kill you. That your anesthesia doesn’t wear off before it’s all over.
--From Where We Stand, Pyrowriter
It’s irony I suppose. We all sit still, immobile, like inanimate objects, just waiting for something. Something to change. We whine, we complain, because nothing ever happens. And God forbid we catalyze any change ourselves. We go to school, we go to work, we go home, we go to bed, and we pretend. We pretend to smile, we pretend to laugh, we pretend not to hear our mothers crying in their rooms, we pretend to be okay with moving away from the only homes we’ve ever know just so we don’t have to pretend not to hear her cry anymore. Then it happens. Change happens. And we whine, we complain, because suddenly we miss the normal, the constant.
--From Where We Stand, Pyrowriter
“ Would you say yes if I asked you something?”
“ No.”
“ Will you be mine?”
“ Forever?”
“ For quite some time, I imagine.”
“ Yes.”
--Cannonball, I'm With Sid Vicious

"You know that place between sleep and awake, where you're still dreaming? That's where i'll always think of you...that's where i'll be waiting"
--Hook
Thats is what we do...We fight. You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in that ass. Which you are, 99 of the time. I am not afriad to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound, and you go back doing the next pain in the ass thing. So it's not going to be easy. It's going to be really hard. We're going to have to work at this everyday, but i want to do that. Because I want you. I want all of you. Forever, you and me everyday.
-- The Notebook
Quotes I dont Know Where I Got:
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
....And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
"If you think I’ve given up on you, you’re crazy. And if you think I don’t love you, then you’re just wrong."
"As long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending. It has endless potential."
"My belt holds my pants up, but the belt loops hold my belt up. I don't really know what's happening down there. Who is the real hero?"
