Hey,

I like to write. Well, obviously. You know, I just found out about this other website called "authonomy.com" that's just like FictionPress, except every once in a while (I think it's every week or so) actual editors from HarperCollins read the top five stories on the site! How cool is that?

So now it's like my all-time dream to get on there, because I think that would be totally awesome. I know that'll take a lot of time and work, though, but I want to get there one day. Basically, I want to be an author.

I think it's important to do what you love, because if you don't, life isn't fun anymore. I don't want to be someone that I can't admire. Because that pretty much means that I don't like myself, and I don't think I could live like that. I have lived like that - haven't we all? - and it's really depressing.

I like to put myself in other people's shoes a lot, because I want to understand all kinds of people. It's kind of weird, and definitely frustrating, but it's interesting.

So this was extremely random. I don't know if anyone's even reading this, which makes it even more awkward. I hope you guys read my stories, though, because I just love it when people read my stories. Lol. As you can see, I'm weird. But I'm proud of it, and that's all that matters, right?

P.S: Yesterday was my birthday (August 10th; I'm 14 now!), and guess what I got? A MacBook! I've wanted an Apple laptop for so many years, and I'm so excited to finally have one. This computer is so fast, and smooth, and pretty, and easy to use, and I just love it! :)

My Stories:

'A New Start': Amber Johnson's house - well, mansion - burns down, taking both her parent's lives. She runs away because she doesn't want that life anymore. But as she goes, she runs into a runaway guitarist. They decide to stick together for a while. It's a one-shot for now, but I might make it more than that later. I want to progress a little farther into my other story so that I'm in a comfortable spot when I switch over.

'Lost': This is Becca Hunter's story of her popular, perfect life. That is, until she really gets to know her old friend Aaron Matthews and eventually learns a few things about who she thought was Mr. Right. This is the story I am currently working on. I'm trying to update it at least once every two days, so make sure you read it!
EDIT: As most of you know, I put this story on hiatus a few months ago. I'm trying to get back to it, but I'm not guaranteeing anything soon. :)

'The Heartbreakers': Claire moves when her parents get divorced. She goes to a new school, now living in Iowa, and meets Meredith on her first day of school. Meredith tells Claire about the cliques in their school, and they decide that neither of them fit into any of the groups. So they make their own: The Heartbreakers. The Heartbreakers are a secret group that break up couples around the school, starting with Meredith's crush and his girlfriend - Mitchell Jacobson and Lindsay Collins.

'Take Me to the Dark Side of the Moon': The story of Deanna Wayford, a girl who's just gone to live with her mother's friend from college and her family. Deanna's mom died giving birth to her, and as a result her father has hated her all her life. But then one day he committed suicide, putting her older brother in a coma and labeling her as an orphan. And now Deanna has - like it says in the summary :P - a crazy life, an arch-enemy and . . . maybe a guy. ;)

Anjali's QUOTES:

When life hands you lemons, throw them on the ground and scream, "I WANTED ORANGES!!"

Dreams last longer than reality.

It's life. Live it!

Every time you throw away uneaten brussell sprouts, just remember all the poverty-struck people out there that would literally go digging in the garbage, just to eat those gross vegetables. Some people have so little, yet every day us 'rich kids' waste our food, our money and our time. Think a little next time.

Try not to hate people. Instead, say that you hate their words or actions, because it's not fair to hate all of a person for just a few faults.

Love is so overrated. I believe that love is crap. Yet I continue to write about it. :)

Friends are only temporary. You meet them, laugh with them, laugh at them, cry with them, love them, hate them, and so on. But they are never forever. There always comes a day when they leave you, or the other way around. It's not very positive thinking, I know, but it's the truth.

You can't change who I am. So just DEAL WITH IT.

When in Rome... visit the Colosseum. 'Tis incredibly cool. :)

Only a true writer has the right to use quotation marks.

Don't. Touch. My. Hair. -insert evil snarl here-

Sometimes it feels really, really good to cry.

Whenever someone underestimates you, just know that that's your challenge to show them what you're made of.

Put this in your profile if you freak out after getting just one review on a story.

If you're a Twilight fanatic, post this on your profile.

92 percent of teens would die if Abercrombie and Fitch said it wasn't cool to breathe anymore. Put this in your profile if you're one of the 8 percent that'd be laughing their heads off.

If you thought the Boston Tea Party was a bunch of people from Boston getting together for tea and crumpets, put this in your profile.

~random quotes that i find in random places~

I'd go to hell, but it already has a restraining order against me.

If your heart was really broken you'd be dead, so shut up.

My heart? Yeah. Not a playground.

The dinosaurs' extinction wasn't an accident. Barney came and they all committed suicide.

You cry, I cry, you laugh, I laugh, you fall off a cliff, I laugh even harder.

Last night I lay in bed looking up at all the beautiful stars in the sky and thought - 'Where the hell is the ceiling??'

The road to success is almost always under construction.

A friend offers you a shoulder to cry on when you're rejected. A best friend walks up to him in public and demands, "It's because you're gay, isn't it?"

Don't hit kids. No, seriously, they have guns now.

Save the earth. It's the only planet with chocolate.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you're a mile away from them, and you have their shoes.

They say 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'. Well I'm pretty sure the guns have something to do with it because if you just stood there and shouted "BANG!" I don't think you'd kill a lot of people.

When life hands you lemons, make grape juice, and then sit back and let the world wonder how you did it.

Boy are very much like slinkies: basically useless, but it's fun to watch them fall down stairs.

Have you ever noticed that deliver could mean someone's liver?
