Je chante avec la passion.

Je vis avec le feu. je ne serai pas dit ce que de faire.

Je fais seulement que je veux.

Je vivrai seulement ma vie.

J'écris ma vie avec un stylo de vit du sang.

L'émotion ne sera pas truquée.

La vie jamais sera vécu n'importe quoi moins alors son plus plein

Hello, and Bonjour.

I'm not french, but I do speak a little and will throw in a word or two of it ever once in a while, but it will be tres obvisile what it is. Tee hee!

I tend to get easily confused, and if it wasn't for my chocolate hair and straight A's, people'd call me blonde.

I'm obsessed with Inuyasha and Fruits Basket, but Naruto and a few other manga's you've probably never heard of are good too.

I mostly like to write sci-fi romances, but they're not harlequin so they're safe.

I'm a bit of a space-case some times so it might be a while between stories and it might be hours. Just depends most of the time.

I love music and would die without it!! Mostly Paramore, Jack Johnson, Kate Bush, Anberlin, The Fray, Stuff like that. It's kinda an odd mix of indie, pop, rock, classical, and soundtracks. But i like it, that's all that counts.

I heardly ever get on the computer, except to check my email, so email is the best form of comunication.

I tend to get distracted from what I'm writing with other stories that muses (yes, there are people that live in my head and talk to me, though some times they don't talk to me for a LOOOOOONG time) begin to play with, and so I most likely won't finish a story unless I GET REVIEWS!! They are tres vital.

hahahaha, and I read ALL THE TIME!! i'm not kidding when I say I can read a 750 page book in 2-3 days in the middle of the school year. Hahahaha, and I laugh a ton, and I ask too many questions.

Also, I love Emily Dickinson poems and gothic romances. Namely: 'Tithe' and 'Ironside' by Holly Black, The Uglies Trilogy by Scot Westerfield, 'The Naming' (Ah!! I can't remember the lady's name that wrote it!!), The Great and Terrible Beauty trilogy (Ah!! Can't remember that author either!!), 'Wicked Lovely' by Mellissa Marr, uh, and that's all I can think of right now.

Pon and Zi and Gir and Zim will take over the world, just so everyone knows.

And Elphaba and Glinda will live happily-ever-after and fiero will NOT be turned into a scarecrow... He's much too adorable for that...

oh, and Christine and Raul will live happily ever after aussi.

Donne moi plus amore... hahahahaha jk

hahahahahaa... i was just thinking how some peolpe think i'm so weird... These, my monochromatic friends, is why I'm, so awesomely weird!

2. If you get mad at it, you can throw it around.

So, ever since i went to Wicked the musical, i've gotten kinda obbssed with one song in particular. It's called i'm not that girl. i suppose i like it so much because i feel the same way about someone that Elphaba does at this point in the show... Idina Mendezel is a genius by the way. So these are the lyrics to I'm Not That Girl

Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...

Hearts and tears,

Scarlett
