About Me:

I'm hugely romantic, but most of the time I try to hide that because I don't like to be the stereotypical girl in any way.

I love romance stories and a good cliche, though for the most part I try to avoid cliche's like the plague in my own story's. If there is a cliche I like to add an interesting twist so that the story's still unpredictable and I can feel unique.

I'm not like some perverted maniac or something, but when they say "sex sells" I'm one of those people that they're selling it to, so in every story I write there will probably be some sort of sexual scene at one point or another. Probably bad enough to make you blush a little, but not too bad at all.

I curse, so my characters will probably curse, depending on what type of person they are.

About my stories:

3/11/10: I'm back! (I think...) I'm working on a story right now tentatively titled "Another Bad Decision." I really like it and I have about the first 3 chapters worked out but I will NOT post it until i get at least halfway through and feel absolutely certain that I will finish it. After all, there's no point of getting peoples hopes up and attracting new readers if I'm never going to finish the story. Also, one of the things that I think stops me from finishing stories is that I often don't plan the whole thing out from the beginning. This method of just letting the story go where it wants works best for me because if i plan the whole thing out from the beginning and I know all the nuances and how it's going to end then there's no personal drive for me to write it. When I let it happen spontaneously I feel like just another reader and I'm just as shocked as you guys are at the things my mind creates. However, the drawback of this method is that it makes it hard to let people read my work as I go along, because in chapter 15 I might decide that it's the PERFECT time for my character to go for a ride on their motorcycle, but if that character didn't have a motorcycle in previous chapters and those chapters are all published, then I feel as if I can't go back and add that in w/o confusing my readers, so again, this just stifles my whole "follow the story wherever it goes" writing philosophy.

Punk: Temporarily (i think) on hiatus. I really do want to go back to this story one day. I'm going to do a MAJOR overhaul of it but I really like the general plot I had worked out so despite how extremely long it's been since i updated, I want to go back to it one day.

Senior Dreams: Discontinued. I was a horrible writer in my youth, I just keep it up to remind myself of that dark literary place i was at that i'll never go back to. I wrote it during my freshman year in high school and it was semi-true, but then i just randomly stopped and now that I'm in college and I look back I see how stupid I was back then and I really dislike the story now, both for the poor writing quality and the poor plot (i.e. my pathetic fourteen year old life). I keep this one up to look at when I feel like loathing myself.

Chris: It's just a one-shot for now and it's probably going to stay that way for a really long time, if not forever. A lot of people have asked me to continue it and it's actually one of the only things I wrote in the past that I can look back on and not cringe and i really like it, so I might turn it into a full length story (which would be cool cause it would be like a mystery/romance thing and that would be the first thing i ever wrote that wasn't about teenagers, wasn't about people with normal everyday lives, and wasn't just straight dramatic romance) but if i do it won't be until after Punk is done, and even then not until after I do some serious thinking on the whole thing because I want to plan it out well and make sure I do it justice because I refuse for Chris to become like one of those Disney movies that were amazing in the beggining and then they go and make a sequel and you want to shoot the creators because not only was the sequel horrendous but it is so bad it has actually forever tainted your impression of the first one.

Quotes That I Love:

Buffy/Angel:

I do remember what I said.The promise. To protect her. If I'd done that...even if i didn't make it, you wouldn't of had to jump. I want you to know that I did save you. Not when it counted of course...But after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again and do something diffrent. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of diffrent ways...Every night I save you.
--Spike

You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Real love isn't brains, children. It's blood. It's blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.
--Spike

People don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream, what they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive.
--Xander

Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be, Connor. It's harsh, and cruel. But that's why there's us. Champions.
It doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world was what it should be, to show it what it can be.
--Angel

Other TV Shows:

Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose yourself
--Boy Meets World

Mr. Feeny: Believe in yourselves. Dream. Try. Do good.
Topanga: Don't you meen "do well"?
Mr. Feeny: No, I mean "do good".
--Boy Meets World

Trust is a fragile thing. Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom. But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover. Of course the truth is, we never know who we can trust. Those we're closest to can betray us. And total strangers can come to our rescue. In the end, most people decide to trust only themselves. It really is the simplest way to keep from getting burned
--Desperate Housewives

You do your thing, I'll do mine. You go your way, I'll go mine. And if we end up together, it's beautiful.
--Boy Meets World

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing it's best, night and day, to make you everybody else, means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting.
--One Tree Hill (it's E.E. Cummings', but i heard it first on One Tree Hill)

As happens sometimes a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment...and then the moment was gone.
--One Tree Hill (again, this one's by John Stenibeck, but i heard it on Tree Hill)

Cory- 'Its an interesting feeling you know?'
Shawn- 'What knowing its over?'
Cory- 'No being the only guy in the world who knows its not.'
- Boy Meets World

Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty, this hatred. How did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us? That we now send our children out into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return but knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?
--One Tree Hill (probably by someone else, though i dont know who)

Quotes from fictionpress storys:

“ You know that feeling you get, when you’re about to jump into the pool? And you’re all dry, and you know you have to get wet. And you get ready to jump and you do it. You do it and your stomach flips and churns as you curl up and hit the water with all you’ve got. That’s the feeling I get whenever I’m around you. You’re a cannonball.”
--Cannonball, I'm with Sid Vicious

High school is like surgery. You can prepare for it all you want, but as soon as you get there, it’s out of your hands. You’re not in control anymore. You just have to close your eyes and pray that your doctor doesn’t kill you. That your anesthesia doesn’t wear off before it’s all over.
--From Where We Stand, Pyrowriter

It’s irony I suppose. We all sit still, immobile, like inanimate objects, just waiting for something. Something to change. We whine, we complain, because nothing ever happens. And God forbid we catalyze any change ourselves. We go to school, we go to work, we go home, we go to bed, and we pretend. We pretend to smile, we pretend to laugh, we pretend not to hear our mothers crying in their rooms, we pretend to be okay with moving away from the only homes we’ve ever know just so we don’t have to pretend not to hear her cry anymore. Then it happens. Change happens. And we whine, we complain, because suddenly we miss the normal, the constant.
--From Where We Stand, Pyrowriter

“ Would you say yes if I asked you something?”
“ No.”
“ Will you be mine?”
“ Forever?”
“ For quite some time, I imagine.”
“ Yes.”
--Cannonball, I'm With Sid Vicious

"You know that place between sleep and awake, where you're still dreaming? That's where i'll always think of you...that's where i'll be waiting"
--Hook

Thats is what we do...We fight. You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in that ass. Which you are, 99 of the time. I am not afriad to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound, and you go back doing the next pain in the ass thing. So it's not going to be easy. It's going to be really hard. We're going to have to work at this everyday, but i want to do that. Because I want you. I want all of you. Forever, you and me everyday. -- The Notebook
