When you see me,

When you look into my eyes,

They are shadowed,

With my disguise.

When you truly look,

Deeper into my soul,

You finally know,

That I'm only pretending

W h o i s m e ?

i like to talk.

i collect boxes and i like to think of myself as a fairly quirky person. i am naturally happy -- even when i'm sad (that doesnt make sense, but i currently couldn't give a rat's ass). laughter truly is my medicine, anyone who makes me laugh is a good person to me. sometimes i say things just to sound smart and it comes out all wrong, effectively making me look like an idiot. i love writing, if only i could get better at it. i'm the type of person to be shy one moment and then be out-going the next. i am extremely weird. so weird, in fact, that i think i went insane a long time ago. i believe that we aren't the only ones out here because that's just who i am, and i think vampires are cool. reading is my best friend sometimes.

i love meeting new people because it makes me feel special. whoever is actually reading this, congradulations, i take my hat off to you. i recently changed my penname from everybodyloveschocolate to only pretending and love the new one. i love orange juice, just like melanie. herbal green tea is the shit. i swear like a sailor. i sing like a strangled banshee. i like the moon. i wish i understood things better. i can be sarcastic, funny, bubbly and bitchy. i am moody. i try to be nice to those i hate. jealously should die. i reckon half of my brain doesn't work properly. the other half is dedicated to writing, ideas and my over-active imagination. i'm scared of way too many things. fall over way too much and laugh at myself at least a million times a day. my friends call me dori and i honestly think it suits me.

i hate all people who rip-off other people's work or steal them -- it is wrong and immoral.

Some of my inspiration:

"Life sucks, and then you die." -- Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn.

"Under your spell again, I can't say no to you." -- Good Enough, by Evanescence.

"That lady smiled at me, I want her to die." -- My best friend.

My latest story called Torn is up. This is quite different from I'm Feeling Lucky or Me & You. Firstly because it's written in first person point of view of Melanie, the main character. I've never written a first person story before, so we'll see how this goes. I may or may not stick with Torn, it depends. Basically Torn is about Melanie's boyfriend, Trent, moving away to the UK for six months. In this time she grows to have feelings for Jack Ivory, who, ironically, Trent hates with a burning, sticky passion. It's all about the troubles love and lust can bring. Melanie is going to be very interesting to write about.

The following is information on any of my works/pieces/stories/whatever you want to call them:

I ' m F e e l i n g L u c k y : (completed)

She's stubborn, stands out in the crowd and a book worm. He's conceited, popular and uses women and then throws them away. He's her older brother's best friend--she hates his guts. And he's staying with her family for three months. Lucky Abbey.

Information: This is currently under my close, watchful eye. It's my first ever completed story, so forgive me if you notice that there are mistakes and misspellings. I've second this one, and I will say it again: this site is for fun, and I believe people who are so annoyed with my work shouldn't read it. A lot of people have reviewed it, and I'm overwhelmed that anyone would actually enjoy I'm Feeling Lucky, but that doesn't give you the right to send me PM's about the crappy standard of it. DONT READ IF YOU DONT LIKE. Thankyou.

M e & Y o u : (completed)

Summary: A drunken one-night stand at a party leaves Adeline in quite a bind with one of her most hated enemies. Trying to live through high school is going to be that much harder for her now that she knows about Finn's "brilliant" plan.

Information: I seriously enjoyed writing this one, even though some people didn't like reading it. This one is really different to I'm Feeling Lucky, it's deeper and has alot more meaning to it. I am aware it needs to be editted, but I am only one person and can only work so fast. Thankyou to everyone who ever favourited, reviewed or just looked over it. You have no idea how much that means to me. I can't thankyou guys enough for all the support I got for this one.

T o r n : (currently underway!)

Summary: Jack Ivory wants me. The only problem is that I have a boyfriend who's travelling in Europe. I shouldn't be developing feelings for Jack. Now I'm torn between the guy I love, and the seductive Jack -- who won't seem to leave me alone.

Information: This is my latest works, and I'm glad that people seem to be enjoying it. This will take longer to write since it has longer chapters, but I'm loving every moment with Melanie & Jack. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do another story that revolves around a different couple, but it will involve Mel and Jacky-boy. I'm not too sure yet, I'll have to think about it. But I seriously hope anyone who looks over it likes it because at the moment it's my baby.

H o p l e s s s R o m a n t i c s : (mini-series of one-shot thingies)

Summary: Sometimes you just have to wear your heart on your sleeve.

Information: In every chapter I'm going to write a romantic scene, for when I have writer's block or I'm just really bored. I dont have many pre-written like I usually do, so it's just a challenge thing for me (since I like corny, romantic scenes) not to overdo it, but have just about the right romance.

Y o u I n s p i r e M e : (one-shot)

Summary: No matter what you do or say, you will always inspire me like no one else can.

Information: A short story about a girls feelings for a guy who doesn't return them, and how it ends in sadness. I like this. I wrote it at 2AM when I couldn't sleep. There might be a lot more one-shots from me after this.

C o l o u r : (one-shot)

Summary: Defined by the colour of her skin, she weeps alone. Hated because she is different, she screams for someone to show a little kindness towards her.

Information: It's about a young dark-skinned girl who is treated differently because of this. Although sad, I think it shows just how cruel kids/people/peers can be. I wish stuff like this didn't happen, but unfortunately, it does occur on a regular basis.

T h i s S o l i t u d e : (in progress)

Summary: Closed-off, moody and temperamental, Ellen Brook has come off course. Popular, handsome and music-obsessed, Adam is trapped in a material world. No one thinks it is possible, but can they find solace in each other? A twisted version of Me & You.

Information: A twisted version of Me & You, this is my second attempt at bringing to people who are hurting together. Since I'm thinking of taking Me & You down, then I want to have another crack at the idea. Main characters are: Ellen Brook & Adam Payne.
