![]() Author has written 19 stories for Life, War, General, and Young Adult. "Paintings are easy to see. Open, presented flat to the eye. Words are not easy. Words have to be discovered, deep in their pages, deciphered, translated, read. Words are symbols to be encoded, their letters trees in a forest, enmeshed, thair tangled meanings never finally picked apart." -Darkhenge by Catherine Fisher Hey, Elizabeth here. BTW that's actually by middle name, but its cooler than my first name so I use it instead. I'm fifteen. I love to read and write! I am female. My goal in life is to be a successful author when I grow up. And if that doesn't work out I have several backup plans: teacher, librarian, psychologist, or social worker. I am a short hispanic with brown hair and eyes. I'm posting a lot of poems, though I'm more of a chapter book stories kind of girl. Also I really like it when I get reviews. They make my day. So If you read one of my poems or stories make sure to review it. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Feel free to contact me. I like to give reviews as well as recive them. If you need feedback I'm your gal! I recomend you read The Third Person and Wasting time. Those are my favorite poems so far. Oh, and Stand Tall as well. Its short, but nice. I also recomend you read my story Experiment Twins. And/or my other story Memories. Which isn't really a story. Well, just read what it says in the summary. You'll get it. =D R&R!! I have made a poll! Vote please! What three super powers would you have? My Stories: Experiment Twins: I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post chapter six. My computer is giving me problems and I can't use Microsoft. So it will be a while before I'm able to continue. I hope you guys can be patient and not give up on me! I promis I will continue as soon as I'm able! This story is going to be in two POV's Daniel's and Nathaniel's. Though it will mostly be in Daniel's point of view. Also I have made a poll on what super powers you would chose if you could. It would be really helpful to my story if you voted. I'm not going to say why(its probably obvious anyways). You can chose three of the many super powers I have listed. And if you can think of any cool power that isn't on the poll PM me and I will add it. A Story of No Importance: The story of Andrew Carson. An average boy with low self-esteam. Andrew moves to a little town in Texas and finds that he's more valuable then he thought. I will have the first chapter as soon as I can, but again I'm having computer problems. Memories: This story is a series of random memories. From a bunch of different people. I'm practising for this story I want to write called Mind Reader. The chapters will probably all be short ones. If you have an idea for a memory tell me in a review or PM and maybe I could use it for one of my chapters. (There is probably no point in posting all this stuff, but I'm going to post it on my profile anyway. Feel free to skip it. Just go to the bottom of the bage to see all my site stories and poems and all that.)

(The list could go on forever) Favorite Quotes: A short while ago I foolishly thought I could learn everything- all the knowledge in the world. Now I hope only to be able to know of its existence, and to understand one grain of it. Is there time? -Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes There is within me (and with sadness I have watched it in others) a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love, much as our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction. - The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst All of us must have something or someone to be proud of. I did not know then that pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death. -The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst The experience gathered from books though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is of the nature of wisdome. -Samuel Smiles The act of putting words on paper has helped me through a lot of difficult times. My fears and dreams, spoken through other people's mouths. My fears and my dreams, acted through other people's bodies. Nothing real, all fake, all make-believe, yet all reflections of reality. -Black Fire by James Kidman Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. -Behemoth by Scott Westerfeld We are our memories. That's all we are. That's what makes us the person we are. The sum of all our memories from the day we were born. If you took a person and replaced his set of memories with another set, he'd be a different person. He'd think, act, and feel things differently. -Brain Jack by Brian Falkner In a real adventure, things went wrong. In a real adventure, you couldn't escape from a simple stone room and shackle in a civilized keep full of servants, and had to sit there tamely waiting for your squire to rescue you. In a real adventure fear rapidly gave way to boredom, and you found boredom could wear away your resolve faster than fear. -The Last Knight by Hilari Bell Paintings are easy to see. Open, presented flat to the eye. Words are not easy. Words have to be discovered, deep in their pages, deciphered, translated, read. Words are symbols to be encoded, their letters trees in a forest, enmeshed, thair tangled meanings never finally picked apart. -Darkhenge by Catherine Fisher The heart can get cold when all you've known is winter. -Last Night I Sang To The Monster by B.A. Saenz As a child, I remember thinking that learning to tell the truth, even when it costs you, was the end of childhood. Mayhap learning to lie, when needful, is the beginning of adulthood. -The Last Knight by Hilari Bell The moment you stop to think about whether you love someone you've already stopped loving that person forever. - Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon Intelligence and education that hasn't been tempered with human affection isn't worth a damn. Intelligence is one of the greatist human gifts. But all to often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love. This is something else I've discovered for myself very recently. I present it to you as a hypothesis: Intelligence without the ability to give and receive affection leads to mental and moral breakdown, to neurosis, and possibly even psychosis. And I say that the mind absorbed in and involved in itself as a self-centered end, to the exclusion of human relationships, can only lead to violence and pain. - Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes Reality isn't the way you wish things to be, nor the way they apear to be, but the way they actually are. -Robert J. Ringer Isn't it better to go in search of a dream than to spend your time picking up stones in a land without hope? -Jacob's Ladder by Brian Keaney Darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good. - Marked a House of Night novel by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast He was finding it hard at the moment to decide whether he wanted to be with people or not. Whenever he was in company he wanted to get away, and whenever he was alone he wanted company. -Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K Rowling ...because of the 's past terror, past panic. I'm thinking this must be dread. Except I'm not thinking. There's no room for thinking, just feeling, feeling like the dread is oozing up through the cracks between the boards on my floor. Bubbling up through the heater grates. I can feel it rising. Like water. Like black blood. The dread is filling my locked room and my mouth and my nose and my ears and my eyes and my lungs, and I'm drowning in it. It's the fear. It keeps feeding itself. And then it gets you to feed it. And you just have to stope it. I have to stop it. -Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements What drives me out of the apartment to prowl through the city? I wander through the streets alone- not the relaxing stroll of a summer night, but the tense hurry to get- where? Down alleyways, looking into doorways, peering into half-shuttered windows, wanting someone to talk to and yet afraid to meet anyone. Up one street, and down another, through the endless labyrinth, hurling myself against the neon cage of the city. Searching...for what?- Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes But that the dread of something after death, the undiscover'd country from whose bourn no traveller returns, puzzles the will and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others that we know not of? -Hamlet 3/1 by William Shakespeare To say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays. -William Shakespear Personal affection is a luxury you can have only after all your enemies have been aliminated. Until then everyone you love is a hostage, sapping your courage and corrupting your judgment. -Orsone Scott Card No drowning man can know which drop of water his last breath did stop. - Unknown (Sorry, I don't know who wrote this) With much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge the more grief- Ecclesiastes 1:18 (AKA The Bible) To be, or not to be: that is the question; whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; no more; and by a sleep to say we end the heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; to sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; for in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause: there's the respect that makes calamity of so long life. -Hamlet 3/1 by William Shakespeare Favorite Poems: Fire and Ice Some say the world will end in fire, some say ice, From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire, But if I had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate to say that for destruction ice is also great. -Robert Frost This is thy hour oh soul, thy free flight into the wordless, Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done, Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best, Night, sleep, death and the stars. - Walt Whitman A Time for Everything There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,' a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. - Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (Bible) Teach me to walk and I shall run, Teach me to look and I shall see, Teach me to hear and I shall listen, Teach me to sing and I shall rejoice, For your instructions are imprinted in my mind, And your shared experiences I shall keep, What I have learned I shall treasure, And by learning to fly I shall soar! -Donna L. Clovis Basment Room I think it's raining from my basement room. But basements make for faraway ears, and rain dries up so quickly. I still think it was rain. I think the wind is blowing up above. But wind is such a meaningless thing, invisable and always gone. I still think it was wind. I think I'm up there in the wind and rain. But dreaming is always done in bed, so many winds and rains are dreams. I still think it was me. -Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements A dream is a seed The seed of a tree A tree full of life And the things you can be Your dreams are the windows Through which you can see A hint of your future And the things you will be Each night when you sleep Your feeding the seed The seed of the tree Of who you will be. -Jennifer (I don't know the person's last name) Favorite Songs: I'm Just a Kid I woke up it was seven I waited 'till eleven Just to figure out that no one would call I think I've got a lot of friends But I don't hear from them What's another night all alone? When your spending every day on your own And here it goes... I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the World is having more fun than me tonight And maybe when the night is dead I'll crawl into my bed staring at these four walls again I'll try to think about the last time I had a good time Everyone has somewhere to go And they're gonna to leave me here on my own And here it goes... I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the World is having more fun than me tonight What the hell is wrong with me? How did this happen to me? Wide awake I'm bored and I can't fall asleep And every night is the worst night ever I'm just a kid (5 times) I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone in the world is... Nobody want's to be alone in the world I'm just a kid and life is a nightmare I'm just a kid I know that it's not fair Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is... Nobody want's to be alone in the world Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is Having more fun than me tonight I'm all alone tonight Nobody cares tonight 'Cause I'm just a kid tonight Undone Open up wide, swallow down deep Why I'm still running when I know there's no escaping Come undone, surrender is stronger Fall on my knees, fall on my pride You're still by my side when all the things I've done have left you bleeding Chorus I don't think I can drive it home tonight Give Me Your Eyes Looked down from a broken sky Chorus Step out on a busy street Chorus I've been there a million times Chorus Give me your eyes for just one second Cry Cry love Cry at the end Cry alone Cry at the end Cry peace Cry at the end (oh) And we try And we cry Dangerous To Know Some secrets need to be kept Like the way I feel I was a law onto myself Like the way I feel Ignorance is bliss Like the way I feel Like the way I feel Some secrets need to be kept... I am the girl ... that doesn't go to school dances, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird, and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on My Space, or talking to a girlfriend on a cellphone or a regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain. But I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird, who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with Torchwood, who can express herself better with words, and knows the importance of the little things. Copy and Paste this onto your account, and add your name to the list, if you are anything like me, so the girls who are different and unique can know in their weakest times that they are unique, but not alone. ~ PrettyFanGirl, Truth Be Told 13, DEFiiANCE, Angel of Apathy, Vic Taylor, bran4ever, Elizabeth Dare |
