If hers was the precise angle of cut crystal flashing in the light,
His was the warm glow of a candle through bone china.
If hers was long-stemmed red rose,
His was garden roses, on a trellis, still growing.
Broken Chords, Barbara Snow Gilbert
I'm fourteen and a freshie in high school.
I live in the sunniest of the American states.
I cannot bear the heat or the bugs.
I can't wait to graduate and move to someplace cold.
I love the season of winter; sunny, cool, clear, winter days; staring into the night sky, gazing at a full moon and the sparkling stars; the smell of cinnamon; eating ice cream from a mug or cup; hot chocolate; plot bunnies; wearing braids; movie theatres; scented candles; brand-new novels; black and white film; silver-halde, traditional, non-digital cameras; azure, the color of the sky; trying out sunglasses; chandeliers; an old pair of well-worn jeans; cursive; cool computer fonts; speaking in medieval English; looking through old yearbooks; dark chocolate melting on my tongue; rainbows after a storm; a heavy rainstorm; straight As on a report card; people watching; animal crackers; happy endings; Christmas music; calligraphy pens; watching a butterfly; making others laugh; making up words; using sounds to convey feelings; the smell of roses; photography; staying home and reading all day; pouring out my heart and mind in writing; words coming from seemingly nowhere; finding true love.
I adore my math, French, and theatre classes.
My favorite musicals are "Beauty and the Beast", "Kiss Me, Kate", and "Anastasia".
"Pride and Prejudice" (2005) is my all-time favorite movie. I adore it with all my heart.
Me in a few words: stereotypical Asian nerd.
There's always some book that I'm reading.
I'm beginning to discover the world of Jane Austen. I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice.
My favorite series is the Chanters of Tremaris Trilogy by Kate Constable.
How to Be Popular: A Novel by Meg Cabot and Shug by Jenny Han are the cutest books I've ever read.
Broken Chords by Barbara Snow Gilbert and Sirena by Donna Jo Napoli are the saddest.
Beauty: A Retelling of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley is the best fairy tale retelling ever.
Good Enough by Paula Yoo is the funniest, as well as the one book I can relate the most to.
Enthusiam by Polly Shulman is both pleasantly predictable and amazingly sweet.
If you haven't noticed, I'm a hopeless romantic.
One of my goals is to tour Europe and all its glories.
I will one day be an author.
I plan to go by Ainsley C. Elder.
So, remember my name.
I am a Christian, first and foremost.
