Author has written 21 stories for Love, Friendship, Family, and Life. "It does good to remember that the universe, but for one trifling exception, is composed of others." ~ Unknown "Flying is simple. You just throw yourself at the ground and miss." ~ Douglas Adams "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." ~ Unknown "To error is human, to seek revenge is divine." ~ Unknown "The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief." ~ William Shakespeare, Othello "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." ~ Judy Garland "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." ~ Mark Twain "So much has been given to me. I have no time to ponder that which has been denied." ~ Hellen Keller " ' Would you tell me please which way I ought to walk from here?' 'That depends a good deal on where you want to go,' said the Cat. 'I don't much care where --' said Alice. 'Then it doesn't matter which way to walk,' said the Cat." ~ Alice's Adventures in Wonderland "The tree that never had to fight / For sun and sky and air and light / but stood out in the open plain / and always got its share of rain / Never became a forest king / but lived and died a scrubby thing ... / Good timber does not grow with ease / The stronger wind, the stronger trees." ~ Douglas Malloch "You can't leave footprints in the sands of time by sitting on your butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sands of time?" ~ Bob Moawad "Heaven didn't want me and Hell thinks I'll take over." ~ Unknown “Destroy is such a strong word! I prefer ‘redecorated for free’.” ~ My best friend Mikayla "There is a light at the end of every tunnel. ...Be sure it's not a train." ~Unknown "We will either find a way, or make one!" ~ Hannibal "A wise man once said, 'Go ask a woman.' " ~ My mama A Little Bit About Me: Names: Maraudette, Komomo (long story), Fleur, honey, sweetheart, Miss Bookworm, Dahling, and insert real name here Age: Old enough to know what people say about me, young enough not to care Hair: Very curly, dark blonde with light highlights Eyes: Very clear, very light blue Where: Obamaland -- ehm, I mean the USA Narrow it down a bit: At my friend's house -- I'm dogsitting Occupation: Lazyass older sister, swimmer, student, babysitter, and overall couch potato Describe yourself in three words: Sarcastic beyond reality What others think: My friends say I'm loud, outgoing, giggly, witty, funny, clumsy, secretive, no-holds-barred, and unafraid. My brothers say I'm menacing. My enemies say I'm shy, easily angered, bitchy, and don't hold back. Me? I just think I'm an open book. Favorite Artists: All Time Low, Bowling for Soup, Bedlight for Blue Eyes, Cartel, Every Avenue, We the Kings, Collective Soul, All American Rejects, Taylor Swift, Paramore, Tokyo Rose, and I listen to classical at night (helps me sleep _) Things You'd Never Know About Me: 1. I've liked the same guy for almost six years now. It's pathetic. He's one of my closest guy friends. For more, check out my story "Almost" in my Fanfiction profiile -- based off of him (song of the same title by Bowling for Soup.). 2. I swim. Like, obsessively. It started out because I wanted to compensate for my poptart fetish, but now I'm the best JV backstroker on the team. And I've never come in lower than 3rd place. Woot. 3. I've moved 18 times since I was born. My current home is the only one I've stayed more than three years at. 4. I'm a straight-A student, and the only blonde in the top 15 of my class. 5. I'm severely afraid of needles. I don't know why. The last time I had to have a shot, I literally fainted BEFORE they gave me the injection. My stepdad had to catch me so that I didn't fall flat on my face. I made my brother swear never to tell anyone. 6. I'm very bad with the telephone. I can't make conversation with anyone when I can't see them. It feels like I'm talking to an imaginary friend. 7. Before I die, I want to do three things: skydive, swim with sharks, and fall in love (and STAY in love). 8. I think LilyMae is the prettiest name in the world. Just saying. I love it more than my own name (no, I'm not telling you what my name is). 9. I had my first cheeto on 6/5/2009. I gained three pounds and almost threw up. Lovely. 10. I have reread the Harry Potter series every year since I was eight. My friends calls me obsessed. I prefer "infatuated." 11. I haven't seen my dad since last year. 12. My luck numbers are 7 and thirteen. 13. I have never had a twinkie, nor have I ever eaten at White Castle, and I never want to. 14. I've written three books so far in my life -- none of which will ever be shown to ANYONE. They suck. I just wanted to write, you know? But my friends like it, so there you are. (Lying through their teeth, but whatever.) :-) 16. I've never watched the Hills, the OC, Laguna Beach, or One Tree Hill. However, I'm obsessed with Jon and Kate plus 8. 17. That last one was a cop-out. Everyone know's I'm obsessed over the Gosselins. I also obsess over gummy bears, puppies, American Dad, Family Guy, and my swim times. 18. I believe it's good luck to skip the number 15. _ For people that hate stereotypes: If you think people should just shut up and stop, put this on your profile. (BOLD the ones you are.)

My name's Fleur de L'Esprit, but you might know me from my fanfiction page as .o.O.o. Maraudette .o.O.o. Either way, writing is my life, so if it's yours too, then you're at the right place! Just a warning: I'm a very sporadic uploader, I'll probably only put poetry, and there's a very good chance that I'll disappear for a few weeks at a time. But if you email or PM me then I will definately get back to you! Any if you ever think of a prompt, suggestion, etc, then I'd love to hear it -- prompts and stuff are my favorite things to write outside of fanfics! _ Always, Fleur de L'Esprit 10 Commandments of a Teenager 1) Thou shall not sneak out when parents are sleeping. 37 Things to do in an elevlator 1. Crack open your briefcase or handbag, peer inside and ask "Got enough air in there?" 2. Stand silent and motionless in the corner facing the wall without getting off. 3. When arriving at your floor, grunt and strain to yank the doors open, then act as if you're embarrassed when they open themselves. 4. Greet everyone with a warm handshake and ask him or her to call you Admiral. 5. Meow occasionally. 6. Stare at another passenger for a while. Then announce in horror: "You're one of THEM!" - and back away slowly. 7. Say "DING!" at each floor. 8. Say "I wonder what all these do?" and push all the red buttons. 9.

Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers: "This is my personal space." 14. When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder, then pretend it wasn't you. 15. As you are coming to the end of the journey, get emotional and have a group hug. Tell them that you will never forget them. 16. Ask if you can push the button for other people but push the wrong ones. 17. Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend.

Walk into the lift and say "This reminds me of being buried alive. Ah, those were the days..." 30. Take shoes off before entering. Then look shocked and disgusted when the others don't. 31. Ask people which floor they want, say in 'Who want to be a millionaire' style is that your final answer. 32. Also in your bellboy act, ask what floor they want. Whatever they say, give them a glare and say "you should be ashamed of yourself!", and leave the lift tutting. 33. Ask, "Did you feel that?" 34. Tell people that you can see their aura. 35. When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay. Don't panic, they open up again." 36. Announce in a demonic voice: "I must find a more suitable host body." 37. Dress up in a long, black cloak with a hood, stare and in a deep voice announce "It is time..."
