Hi everyone! You are probably here because you read my stories, or I read yours. Either way, I would like to say thank you.

I love to read and write, or else I would not be here. I have many favorite books, so I will just tell you my favorite authors. Libba Bray (Read her blog. It's hilarious).

For music, I don't really have a favorite, I mainly go through stages. Right now, I am currently into a lot of Alternative, hard rock, and R&B. That will change in about a month.

This is the link for Writers Digest. It is a great site to help you with your writing. They also have some short stories up if you are looking for something to read.

Quotes ( I know, we all have them)

My night in shining armour turned out to be a loser in aluminum foil.

Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door...

Parents spend the first part of our lives teaching us to walk and talk, they spend the rest of it telling us to sit down and shut up.

Friends will always be like, well you deserve better, but best friends will be prank calling him saying "You will die in seven days."

"See, I am your Boo Radley, I am the one who makes your life interesting. Without me you would have nothing to entertain yourself."

Sometimes you just have to smile and walk away...hold your tears in and pretend you are okay.

When I lose my mind, will you help me find it?

I am switzerland.

Impertinant little monkey!

The world would be a better place if fictional characters were real.

Smile...it confuses people (it truley does)

Last night I looked up at the stars and I matched each star to one reason I love you. I was doing fine until I ran out of stars.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself

The heart has reasons that reason cannot comprehend

A girl asked a guy if she was pretty; he said no. She asked him if he wanted her; he said no. She asked him if she left, would he cry; he said no. She turned to leave; he grabbed her arm and said, 'Your're not pretty, you're beautiful. And I don't want, you I need you. And I wouldn't cry if you left; I would die.'

I like night. Without the dark we would not be able to see the stars.

Remember what you just said, because tomorrow I will have a witty and sarcastic comeback and you will be devastated then!

It's always in the last place you look.' Well duh, you stop looking after you find it.

I fear one day I'll meet God, He'll sneeze and I won't know what to say.

Everyone has their own monster...A part of themselves they can't face...A part of their past they can't hide from...Everyone is there own monster

He is more me than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.

You mean, you put down your rock, and I put down my sword and we try to kill each other like civilized people?

If you wake up in a red room with no doors or windows, don't panic, you're in in my heart.

Passion, dedication, inspiration, and a little luck can get you anywhere.

All a novelist really is, is a compulsive liar.

BREAKING DAWN (SPOILERS)

my thoughts on Breaking Dawn...I had heard a lot of things about people being dissapointed in it. I wasn't dissapointed, I was just surprised with the direction Stephenie chose for her charecters. To me the Bella and Edward in this book didn't feel like the same charecters as they did in the other books. Maybe that was because Bella is pregnant with a fetus that is killing her for part of it, and then she is a vampire for the rest. And one of the main reasons people love this book is because Bella was just a normal person and that got taken away in this book.

I am not saying that this book is bad. By no means am I saying it's bad, I just liked the other books a bit more than this.

I wish Stephenie had made a fight with the Volturi and that Bella's pregnancy wasn't so fast and creepy. The only part that really felt like Bella from the old books was the first Book. I didn't like the second book that much and then third book I got back into it.

This just didn't seem like Stephenie's writing at times but maybe it is because she had this plot way before Twilight was actually published. I don't know but personally I wished she had stuck with the original characters a bit more.
