Hello everyone!

I've been having so much fun writing for this site that I sometimes wish that the computer would swallow me whole. Then I could write, listen to ITunes and watch YouTube whenever I wanted, and never have to worry about school or the troubles of life ever again. But since that can't happen, I just have to write and enjoy myself. And it's very easy to write, have fun and make new online friends with this site. I've got a bunch of stories up, I have several more I want to post, others that I want to write and a bunch of new boards that I've just discovered. The possibilities are endless here. I think this is the only site I enjoy surfing as much as YouTube. God, I love that site.

One thing I really wish this website had was a music category, because as you can tell from my avatar and from all the quotes below, I'm a huge fan of Celtic Woman. I went to see them in concert one time and it was the best night of my life. And to my friend Asmodeus1389, when you come to my place soon, I will show you the autograph I have from them. I'm not bringing it to school; I don't want to lose it. I actually wrote a story based on one of their songs, "Caledonia," and I submitted it for my high school's literary magazine. That issue of the magazine came in first place! I've got a lot of Celtic Woman songfics I want to write, courtesy of another friend of mine, Adam Decker, for giving me ideas.

The answer is blowing in the wind.

Let me tell you that I love you,
That I think about you all the time
Caledonia, you're calling me,
Now I'm going home.
But if I should become a stranger,
Know that it would make me more than sad.
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had.
--"Caledonia" by Celtic Woman

I am the dawn and the new day begun.
I bring you the morning, I bring you the sun.
I hold back the night and I open the skies.
I give light to the world, I give sight to your eyes.
From the first of all time, 'til time is undone,
Forever and ever and ever and ever,
And I am the dawn and the sky and the sun,
I am one with the One and I am the dawn.
--"The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun" by Celtic Woman

I pray you'll be our eyes,
And watch us where we go,
And help us to be wise,
In times when we don't know.
Let this be our prayer,
As we go our way.
Lead us to a place,
Guide us with your grace,
To a place where we'll be safe.
--"The Prayer" by Celtic Woman

And if you just reach out to me,
Then you will find, deep down inside,

And greed will not pay.

Let it come
If we wish upon the moon.

From your prairies to the sea.
From your mountains grand and all through this land,

And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill.

Somehow you will, you will when you believe.

Isle of hope, isle of tears,
Isle of freedom, isle of fears,
But it's not the isle you left behind.
That isle of hunger, isle of pain
Isle you'll never see again,
But the isle of home is always on your mind.
--"Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" by Celtic Woman

A ship there is and she sails the sea,
She's loaded deep, as deep can be.
But not so deep as the love I'm in,
I know not if I sink or swim.

Like a bird without wings
That longs to be flying,
Like a motherless child
Left lonely and crying,
Like a song without words,
Like a world without music,
I wouldn't know what to do
I'd be lost without you
Watching over me.
--"A Bird without Wings" by Celtic Thunder

You're in my heart, so my spirit sings.
And I'll be strong just as long as you,
Remember me, recuerdame, mi amor.

Steal away, let's steal away,
No reason left to stay
For me and you, let's start anew
And darlin' steal away.

Ireland! Ireland!
Together standing tall!
Shoulder to shoulder,
We'll answer Ireland's Call!
--"Ireland's Call" by Celtic Thunder

But since it fell into my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call,
Goodnight and joy be to you all.
So fell to me the parting glass,
And drink a health whate'er befalls.
And gently rise and softly call,
Goodnight and joy be to you all.
--"The Parting Glass" by The High Kings
