Well there's not much to say...and I refuse to bore you with such trivial things as my favorite color etc. My first ever love was reading, and because of this affliction, I don't think I'll ever get married. I just can't share...:D

People scare me. Which is pretty much why I live in books. My family thinks I'll end up like Virginia Woolf...and all I can say is I hope I never reach that level of genius if that's what it does to you. I'm currently in University studying Applied Science and there are days where I feel like I've been possessed and some random is walking around in my shell and I wonder if I'm really living at all. I suppose that's really crazy and abnormal.

On another note...I am a reader and reviewer foremost.

However, I do have an original story that has been banging around my head awhile and at present I have managed to squeeze two chapters from my reluctant Muse. Unlike a few people I know (who can write various stories simultaneously and effortlessly) I have to pull words out kicking and screaming and rarely does inspiration find me.

Quotes I ponder...

We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none: for salvation, but it is far off from us.

~Isaiah (ch. LIX, v. 11)

"We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered."

~T. Stoppard

"Man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward."

~Job V.7

"The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

~Proverbs (ch. IV, v.18)

"I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay."

~Bob Dylan

"Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime."

~Ernest Hemingway

"We are all brothers under the skin, and I, for one, would be willing to skin humanity to prove it."

~Ayn Rand

"Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself."

~James Froud

"Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always."

~Mahatma Ghandi

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family."

~Anthony Brandt

"The axe forgets, the tree remembers."
