Fandoms are Harry Potter, Lord Of The Rings, Chronicles Of Riddick, Twilight, Inkheart, Labyrinth, Eragon, Final Fantasy, POTC, LOST, Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil, Fruits Basket, Vampire Knight, MASH, Naruto, Death Note, and Ouran High School Host Club.

teH sHiPs:

I honestly will read mostly any pairing in any fandom I'm familiar with, but these are the preferred, in no particular order:

Harry Potter: Hermione/Draco Hermione/Ginny, Harry/Ginny, Gabrielle/Ginny, Ron/Harry, Hermione/Ron, Hermione/Cedric, Ginny/Viktor, Snape/Ginny, Sirius/Ginny, Luna/Neville, Sirius/Hermione, Lily/Severus, Lupin/Tonks, Lupin/Sirius, Narcissa/Bellatrix, Lily/Bellatrix, Fred/George. And of course I'm always open to new pairings.

Lord of the Rings: Aragorn/Eowyn, Eowyn/Arwen, Arwen/Aragorn, Eowyn/Faramir and I love original characters paired with canon characters.

Chronicles Of Riddick: Kyra/Riddick. End of story.

Twilight: Alice/Bella, Alice/Jasper, Jacob/Leah, Bella/Leah, Alice/Leah, Rosalie/Leah, Emmett/Rosalie, Carlisle/Esme, and the rare Edward/Leah. I really don't like Edward/Bella, but there are instances where it's very well done. I also love original characters with canon ones.

Inkheart: Meggie/Dustfinger. Fully aware of the age difference.

Labyrinth: Sarah/Jareth...need I say more?

"I want to live with all my memories...even if they're sad, even if they're memoires that only hurt me. Even if they're memories I'd rather forget. If I keep them and keep trying, without running away...if I keep trying, then someday I'll be strong enough that those memories can't defeat me. I believe that. I want to believe that. Because I want to think that there's no such thing as a memory that's okay to forget. I want to take any memory, and hold it in my heart, and believe that. So I can be someone who won't let memories defeat me." -Momiji Sohma

"...If you touched her carelessly and thoughtlessly, she'd fall apart with a crash..." Natsuki Takaya, in reference to how she drew Rin (Isuzu) Sohma.

"I have no sympathy for any of you feculent maggots and no more patience to pretend otherwise. Gentlemen, I wash my hands of this weirdness." -Jack Sparrow

"Ladies, will you please shut it! Listen to me. Yes I lied to you, no I don't love you, of course it makes you look fat, I've never been to Brussels, it's pronounced egregious.By the way no, I've never actually met Pizzaro but I love his pies, and all of this pales to utter insignificance that my ship is, once again, gone." -Jack Sparrow

"Wanna see my window sheet?" "What the fuck's a window sheet?" "Check it out." -Aladdin and Rasmine, Aladdin and Cave Of Cheese Burgers

"You are my life now." -Edward Cullen

"Oh, I'm with the vampires, of course." -Bella Swan

Good friends will help you with your drug problem, BEST FRIENDS are the ones who sold it to you.

Twilight Warning: This book may cause severe daydreaming, insanely high expectations for boyfriends, overactive imagination, drooling, and the belief that Edward Cullen is NOT fictional. Like you don’t gasp every time you see a silver Volvo.

"Madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push." -the Joker

"What is possible is subjective." -Brom

"I didn't think it would end this way."

"What? Gandalf? See what?"
"White shores...and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."
"Well, that isn't so bad."
"No... No it isn't." -Gandalf and Pippen, ROTK film

PLEASE READ WHAT'S UNDER THIS!!

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it! I SUPPORT GAY AND TRANS RIGHTS.

Thoughts on Gay Marriage!

1) Gay marriage is not natural, and, as Americans, we reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and liposuction.

2) Gay marriage will encourage straight people to be gay in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because dogs have legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all. Women are still property, blacks can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriages would be less meaningful if gay marriage was allowed. The sanctity of Brittany Spear's 55 hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously, gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed upon an entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and female figure in a home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage would change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

"Give up, just quit, because in this life, you can't win. Yeah, you can try, but in the end you're just gonna lose, big time, because the world is run by the Man. The Man, oh, you don't know the Man? He's everywhere. In the White House... down the hall... Ms. Mullins, she's the Man. And the Man ruined the ozone, he's burning down the Amazon, and he kidnapped Shamu and put her in a chlorine tank! And there used to be a way to stick it to the Man. It was called rock 'n roll, but guess what, oh no, the Man ruined that, too, with a little thing called MTV! So don't waste your time trying to make anything cool or pure or awesome, 'cause the Man is just gonna call you a fat, washed up loser and crush your soul. So do yourselves a favor and just GIVE UP!" -Dewey, School Of Rock

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat, "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." -Lewis Carroll

"My darling girl, when are you going to understand that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!" -Aunt Frances, Practical Magic

"I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!"-Hawk-Eye, MASH

The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for. -Allan K Chalmers

"I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life."

If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. -Antione De Saint-Exupery

Once you choose hope, anything's possible. -Christopher Reeve

Sanity may be madness, but the maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be. -Don Quixote

Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear and injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow. -Dorothy Thompson

I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings. -Elie Wiesel

"Thanksgiving, it's like we didn't even try to come up with a tradition, the tradition is we overeat, 'hey how about at Thanksgiving we just uh, eat a lot' 'We do that every day!' 'Oh...what if we eat a lot with people who annoy the hell out of us?' " "Oh, he's anti-family..." -Jim Gaffigan

"Have you ever eaten any of the chocolates out of that big red heart with any confidence? 'Oh this could either be really good or totally nasty and I'm just pig enough to find out.' " -Jim Gaffigan

"I know nothing about Saint Valentine...I assume he's the patron saint of overpriced greeting cards..." -Jim Gaffigan

"My favorite dessert is cake. Cake's the true symbol of gluttony, though. If you eat a whole pizza people are like 'oh, you were hungry' if you eat a whole cake, people are like 'you got a problem'." -Jim Gaffigan

"There's so many types of cake, too...there's rum cake, which makes sense, because we've all been eating cake and thought 'you know what this needs? Booze, a shot of liquor...I don't have time to eat and drink! I've only got two hands and one of em's holding a cigarette, meet me half-way, will ya?' " -Jim Gaffigan

"It is amazing how much cheese you have to put on a salad to make it appealing 'yeah can I have some more cheese and can you throw in a Snicker's bar? And instead of lettuce can I get french fries?" -Jim Gaffigan

"I mostly day dream in church. I always have that introspective look, but on the inside I'm like, 'did I go to Wendy's twice yesterday?' nods " -Jim Gaffigan

"Am I the only one that finds it odd that Heaven has gates? Gates? What kind of neighborhood is heaven in?" -JG

"I do find religion fascinating. Adam and Eve, kicked out of Paradise for eating an apple? An apple, you ever been tempted by an apple? I'd be like 'cover it in caramel and come back to me...you got any cake back there?' " -Jim Gaffigan

"Don't worry, you know God has a sense of humor, 'cause he was talking to Moses as a burning bush..." -JG

"Do you know what they do to those chickens?" "No, but it's delicious...don't get me wrong, I love animals, I just love to eat them more. Fun to pet, better to chew." -JG

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genuis, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." -Marilyn Monroe

"There are two rules of war. Rule number one is young men die. Rule number two is doctors can't change rule number one." -Henry Blake, MASH

Jack: "Get up!" Sawyer: "Why, you wanna see who's taller?"

"Should I go get a ruler?" -Kate

Sawyer: "You're in my light, sticks." Shannon: "Lightsticks? What the hell is that?" Sawyer: "Light, comma sticks. As in those legs of yours."

"I am so not moving to the rape caves." -Shannon

Charlie: "Hurley, look, I appreciate the help. You don't have to. I killed Ethan, I can bury him."

Hurley: "Yeah, 'til he raises from the dead. Dude, I know how this works. This is going to end with you and me running through the jungle... screaming, crying... he catches me first because I'm heavy and I get cramps."

Sawyer: "By the time you get back we'll be in the water. Guess this is pretty much goodbye, then."

Jack: "Yeah, I guess it is. Good luck, Sawyer."

Sawyer: pause "Jack! About a week before we all got on the plane I got to talking to this man in a bar in Sydney. He was American, too. A doctor. I've been on some benders in my time, but this guy he was going for an all time record. It turns out this guy has a son his son's a doctor, too. They had some kind of big time falling out. The guy knew it was his fault even though his son was back in the States thinking the same damn thing."

Jack: starts to recognize who Sawyer's talking about

Sawyer: "See, kids are like dogs, you knock them around enough they'll think they did something to deserve it. Anyway, there's a pay phone in this bar. And this guy, Christian... tells me he wishes he had the stones to pick up the phone, call his kid, tell him he's sorry, that he's a better doctor than he'll ever be he's proud and he loves him. I had to take off, but something tells me he never got around to making that call. Small world, huh?"

Jack: unable to hold back tears, "Yeah..."

Sawyer: "Good luck, Jack."

Sawyer: after pulling a bullet out of his shoulder "You got a Band-Aid?"

Locke: "Why do you find it so hard to believe?" Jack: "Why do you find it so easy?" Locke: "It's never been easy!"

Charlie: to Hurley "I'm sorry, I must have confused it with the 900 trillion I am worth myself. And this baby's made of chocolate lollipops. So if you'll excuse us, I'm going to flap my wings and fly off this island."

Ana Lucia: "You do what I tell you. When I say, "move" you move. When I say "stop" you stop. When I say "jump", what do you say?" Sawyer: "You first."

Sawyer: to Locke "Well, yeah, there's my favorite leaf. How could I forget this place?"

Sayid: to Henry "YOU WOULD REMEBER HOW DEEP! YOU WOULD REMEMBER EVERY SHOVELFUL, EVERY MOMENT! You would remember what it felt like to place her body inside. You would remember if you buried the woman you loved...YOU WOULD REMEMBER, quiets and sobs if it were true!"

Michael: "I hear you're a priest." Mr. Eko: "Yes."

Michael: "I guess you believe in Hell, then?"

Mr. Eko: "For a brief time, I served in a small parish in England. Every Sunday after mass, I would see a young boy waiting at the back of the church. Then one day, the boy confessed to me that he had beaten his dog to death with a shovel. He said the dog had bitten his baby sister on the cheek and he needed to protect her. And he wanted to know whether he would go to hell for this. I told him that God would understand, and that he would be forgiven, as long as he was sorry. But the boy did not care about forgiveness. He was only afraid that if he did go to hell that the dog would be there, waiting for him."

Eko: "Yes, I am ready. I ask for no forgiveness, Father, for I have not sinned. I have only done what I needed to do to survive. A small boy once asked me if I was a bad man. If I could answer him now, I would tell him that when I was a young boy, I killed a man to save my brother's life. I am not sorry for this. I am proud of this. I did not ask for the life I was given, but it was given nonetheless, and with it, I did my best."

Locke: "The Man from Tallahassee? What is that, some kind of code?"

Ben: "No John, unfortunately we don't have a code for 'there is a man in my closet holding a gun to my daughter's head'. Although we obviously should."

Charlie's "greatest hits": 5. The first time I heard myself on the radio. 4. Dad teaching me how to swim. 3. The Christmas Liam gave me the ring. 2. Woman outside Covent Garden calls me a hero. 1. The night I met you, Claire.

Jack: "Hey. Are you all right?" He touches Juliets face

Juliet: "He wanted me to kill them. Ben. He sent Harper to tell me to kill them."

Jack: "How could he possibly tell you that?"

Juliet: "I don't know! But he knew how to get to me. Don't you see? These people came here to wage war against Ben. And Ben's going to win. And when he does you don't want to be anywere near me."

Jack: "Why not?"

Juliet: "Because he thinks that I'm his. And he knows how I feel about you."

Jack walks up to Juliet, and kisses her. Jack: "He knows where to find me."

Locke: Lie to them, Jack. If you do it half as well as you lie to yourself, they’ll believe you.

Into The West

Lay down,
your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journey’s end.

Sleep now, and dream
of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
from across a distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see.
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
you’re only sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

Dawn will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
All souls pass.

Hope fades,
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling,
Out of memory and time.

Don’t say,
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
You and I will meet again.
And you’ll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
Grey ships pass
Into the West.

I wish I could've lived my life without making any wrong turns. But that's impossible. A path like that doesn't exist. We fail. We trip. We get lost. We make mistakes. And little by little, one step at a time, we push forward. It's all we can do. On our own two feet. Someday, we'll reach something. We'll reach someone. Even if we get a little banged up. We pray. -Fruits Basket, v. 21 pg 133-134

"I have already prayed with the others. It is painless." -Imam "It is pointless." -Riddick

"Battlefield doctors decide who lives and who dies. It's called triage." -Johns "They kept calling it murder when I did it." -Riddick

Riddick: "What was that? You don't care if you live or die?"
Kyra: "If I kill them first, not really."
Riddick quietly "Maybe I do."

"Shit! I hate not being the bad guys!" -Kyra

Ridick: "Are you with me, Kyra?"
Kyra: "I was always with you. I was..."

"Believe nothing, no matter who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." -Buddha

FIC PICS

Saving Me, Saving You: This is who I picture when I think of Brandi, Amanda Seyfried. She is uniquely beautiful, I think, gorgeous in her own way and obviously (in Brandi's case obvious to everybody but herself) pretty. I also think her looks (facial structure, her smile, etc) give her a lot of personality. And those lips!
