| Stacey the FLE |
Author has written 1 story for Misc. Books. Name: Stacey Age: 17 Race:Caucasian mostly, ¼ Guamainian Appearance: Waist-length brown hair. Glasses. Brown eyes. Religion: Non-denominational Christian. Devout (not just a "Christian" as in, "well my parents are Christians and I went to church a few times when I was little so..." No. A real Christian. And like all real Christians, I make some pretty huge mistakes, and sin just like the rest of you. Location: I live in the state of West Virginia. (it’s surprising how many Americans don’t know that’s a state) I was born in Baltimore, Maryland. Hobbies/Interests: Visual Art, I’m in Advanced Placement Art and sculpture at school. Next year I'm taking AP Art again (but for 2d this time) and ART III. With luck I'll get a letter from the Marie Walsh Sharpe program telling me I got into their summer seminar. The picture you see to the left is an abstract self-portrait I drew. Reading, I love all sorts of different types of books, from Apologetics to Thrillers but when reading for fun my favorite genre is fantasy. Writing, but only as a pastime, I’m good with short stories, vignettes, and I do write fan fictions, but I probably won’t post any of them. I'm best at writing essay type things along the lines of autobiographies. I only joined so I could comment on everyone’s stories. I also love any Church activities. I’ve gone on mission trips, I was a counselor at a summer camp, and will go to any Christian retreat I can. This past February I went to Snow Camp, and the week before that I went to Rock 2009 along with 7000 other teens. Just yesterday I was babysitting some kids from my church so their parents could watch the couples movie Fireproof. I actively participate in my church youth group, Youth in Action, and I am trying to start a page on Teen Zine--A website designed by students at my high school dedicated to young people in Morgan County--called Face of Faith, a place for information about different churches and organizations. My favorite books are:The Bible (should have been able to guess that) Anything by Ted Dekker (If you haven’t read Ted you absolutely must!) especially the Books of History Chronicles, The Mistborn Trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. The Gemma Doyle Trilogy by Libba Bray. Through Violet Eyes series by Stephen Woodworth. Stolen Child by Keith Donohue. Daughter of the Forest, and Wildwood Dancing, both by Juliet Marillier. Other books I enjoyed, but didn’t quite make the favorites: Un Lun Dun by China Meivelle. The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michael Paver. The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor. Scar night by Allen Campbell. Monster Blood Tattoo series by DM Cornish. And I've read a lot more, but they aren't noteworthty.

I rarely ever watch movies and only occasionally watch shows to pass the time. Some of my favorite shows are Fullmetal Alchemist, Scrubs, King of the Hill, Malcolm in the Middle, and Big Love. Recently my TVs been out, parents didn't pay the bill, but I really don't miss it. Sports: I’m not really that athletic either but I do play Tennis at my school. I'm also on Deviant Art, (http://stacey-ross-benjilt.deviantart.com/) Quizilla, (http://www.quizilla.com/user/47staceythefle47/) Livejournal, (http://stacey-benjilt.livejournal.com/calendar) and Fiction Press. (http://www.fictionpress.com/u/657467/Stacey_the_FLE) My user names are all variations of Stacey the FLE, or Stacey Benjilt. I also do book reviews on Teen Zine (WVZine.net) Random Tid-bit Section! (Does "Tid-bit" have a hyphen or is it "Tidbit" or "tid bit", Mayhaps I shall never know) I just learned this about myself, people posting their stories in the wrong catagory really annoy me. I also learned that I am masochistic. I googled A Great and Terrible Beauty VS Twilight and got a bunch of debate-like things on which book was better where people were answering "Well, I've never read AGATB so Twilights better!! XD XD" Some people. -.- My honest opinion of Twilight was that it was not...good, but not the worst book in the world. Probably the most overrated book ever. I don't feel passionate about the book as far as hating it or loving it is concerned, but the FANS are really starting to bug me. I used "imprint" in a sentence having nothing to do with Twilight and this girl I know (and she's a nice girl, I like her well enough) just stares at me and giggles. Bleh. I actually enjoy reading people's profiles, especially the really long ones, I know I'm strange, then again, I am the person who reads the entire acknowledgements section in a book (And even named my cat Chip Gibson after a person in Libba Bray's acknowledgements section) and am gleeful whenever there's a glossary or something of that sort in the back. I have a book that's 600 some pages, and a third of it is a glossary. One of my friends jokingly says he will write a book and put me first in that section stating, "I would first like to thank Stacey because she is the only one who will actually read this section." The only thing that gets me about Twilight haters is when they try and say that the book was sexist, it endorsed pedophilia (although I will say that the whole imprinting on infants thing is a horrible move on Meyer's part, just creepy), promoted suicide, etc. etc. Just like the people who say J.K. Rowling wanted everyone to become satanists and practice withcraft. Okay, one of my copy/paste things dissapeared. For no apparent reason. Grrrr... I think I'm going to make it a goal to start reading as many people's profile pages as I can, comment on all the stories I read, and take every poll I see because I appreciate interest in my profile, stories, and poll so why not share the joy? Well the primary person who my apology was intended for read it, but I think I'll leave it up for anyone else, and also to remind myself of just how poorly and ungodly I can act in the hopes of keeping me humble. …Long tid bit, I think I’ll give it its own section You know, I leave nice, praising comments to peoples stories all the time, but I made one nasty comment recently. (Which I do regret, seeing as how I flipped and said really horrible things over a stupid pet peeve. ((posting a story in the wrong category)) Really Btchy move on my part) The many kind comments outweigh but don’t cancel out the bad ones, the numerous people I’ve made happy with a thoughtful reply doesn’t make the few people who have received an unkind one any less hurt or offended. Even leaving one hateful or rude comment, in spite of all the others, makes me a bully. (This isn’t me preaching, this is just me realizing and speculating on me. Note the “I” usage) Looking at this from a bigger perspective helps me to understand that I can do all sorts of nice, kind, righteous, things but I do even one wrong (and I’m guilty of FAR more than one, more even than one a day) and I’m a sinner. Not only am I a sinner, but I call myself a Christian and when I do sin and hurt others, I’m misrepresenting Christians everywhere, and worst of all Jesus. So on the off chance one of you is reading this, I would like to formally apologize to anyone who was hurt or offended by one of my comments. (I hope there aren’t to many of you ) Even if I didn’t intend to, if I only meant to offer helpful criticism but went to far, I’m sorry. "If you believe in God, copy-and-paste blah blah blah..." So what? What does believing in God mean? Lots of people, Christian and non-Christian believe He exists. Even demons "believe in God." What makes you so different? I, for one, don't merely believe in Him...I TRUST in Him. I don't just "believe in God"...I believe in JESUS! I believe He is the ONLY Way, the ONLY Truth and the ONLY Life and without Him there is no salvation! If you believe in Jesus and have His Joy in your heart, don't just copy-and-paste this into your profile...SHOW IT! If to you, Edward is that awesome little character (wink) from Fullmetal Alchemist and NOT that moody, sparkly guy from Twilight, copy-and-paste this into your profile. I have a one-time gift. A beautiful gift that many people are ridiculed for in today's culture. A precious gift that many people throw away. It's called "virginity", and I plan to not waste it on some jerk of a boyfriend who's just gonna dump me later. I choose to be faithful to my future husband, the man who will love me for the rest of my life, and to wait for the wedding day!! If you have chosen to save your one-time gift and are PROUD of your purity, paste this into your profile and add your name to the list: Dearheart, Stacey_the_FLE How to Keep a Healthy Level of Insanity 1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down. For people that hate stereotypes: If you think people should just shut up and stop, put this on your profile. (BOLD the ones you are.) I WEAR GLASSES so I MUST be a NERD I’m STRAIGHT EDGE so I must be violent. I'm an ASIAN GUY, so I MUST have a small penis. I'm an ALBINO, so I MUST be an evil person with mental abilities and is A MURDERER! I am a WITCH, so I MUST be and OLD HAG and fly on a broomstick. I'm Australian so I MUST hunt crocodiles and talk to kangaroos. To everyone who's made it thus far, Thank you for viewing my profile, and Happy Writing to you all! | |||||||
1. Woman From the PageA story based off of Jack Hamm's Drwing the Head and Figure. Not the typical book to choose for a Fan Fiction, which is why I chose it. It's a story about one of the illustrated women.Misc. Books - Rated: T - English - Supernatural/Angst - Chapters: 1 - Words: 1,103 - Published: 5-31-09 - Complete
