(That's Latin for "Hello") irony: n. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning Top 10 Favorite authors: Top 10 Favorite works: About Me: I'm 20 years old and I'm a college student in my fifth semester this coming fall. My major is English education (and my minor may possibly be Classics, particularly Latin), so I have to keep up quality writing for pride, since that's what I am specializing in. I am an American woman and a Roman Catholic. I have a more English taste in literature and as such my writing reflects it; I also appreciate philosophy, and when it comes to that subject, I prefer Aristotle. I've had this site since I was 17, so much and so little has changed. I've deleted some of the poems/works I don't particularly like that were on this site; I hope to replace them with better ones.
