| August08 |
Author has written 18 stories for Ninja Turtles, Class of the Titans, and Legend of Zelda. My name is August08. The meaning behind it is that August is my own made up character for TMNT, and 08 is because it's the eighth month, go figure. I've loved TMNT ever since I was a kid, unfortunately I don't know a whole lot about the comic books. But the old series rocks! However, I write my fanfictions in the 2003 series universe or the 2007 movie universe. While I like Leo, Don and Mike for their unique personalities, Raph is my turtle. I guess it's because we both have short tempers when it comes to siblings, and he's the most misunderstood out of the four. Here's a little bit about who I am: Name: August08 (meaning given above). Gender: female Where I live: "Sunny" St. John's, Newfoundland. A great place to live when the weather co-operates. Where is Newfoundland, you ask? It's an island that's located in the Atlantic Ocean off the West coast of New Brunswick. That's the best description I can give. Just check a world map and look it up. Hobbies: Writing, playing video games, writing, singing (when no one's around), writing (did I say that already?). Yeah, I really like writing. Favorite shows: Class of the Titans, Di-Gata Defenders, TMNT, Wipeout, House, Bones, Mythbusters, Chaotic, Criminal Minds, CSI (Las Vegas, Miami and New York). Favorite movies: Indiana Jones series, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Mummy series, Pirates of the Caribbean series, Mamma Mia. Favorite games: Soul Calibur 2, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Guitar Hero, Knights of the Old Republic. Favorite characters: Archie (COTT), Jay (COTT), Raphael (TMNT), Rick (the Mummy), Legolas (LOTR), Will Turner (POTC), Yakko (Animaniacs), Ron (HP), Indy Jones, Tom (Chaotic), Jack Sparrow (POTC), Dr. Spencer Reid (CM), Garcia (CM), Morgan (CM), Nick (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), House, Wilson, Mac Taylor (CSI: NY).

Do not tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Remember my name, you'll be yelling it later Oogway: There is a saying: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present "The difficult he does instantly. The impossible, just give him a minute." -Zelda, describing Link (The Silent Kingdom) 1.

My mother taught me about Justice They say a true friend is someone who’ll bail you out of jail at two in the morning. In reality, a true friend would be there with you, sitting next to you and saying, “Man, we screwed up!” If I wanted flames I’d start a fire. Leonardo groaned and stood up, pulling Michelangelo to his feet as well, “Has anyone ever told you, you’re really weird?” Leonardo asked him. "Yes,” Michelangelo exclaimed gleefully, “and it gets better and better each time I hear it!” (I forget where I read this). “Without the darkness, we would never know that the stars exist.” CSI: NY quotes Stella: She was in Central Park. Mac: You telling me a rat ate the bullet? Mac: (to Stella) That's what I like about you. You always get the details right. Stella: What time did you get in? Aiden: It's all about the tires, Flack. Not the bikes. Mac: How did the only guy not throwing punches end up dead? Flack: The neighbors were very helpful. They saw nothing, heard nothing and know nothing. Welcome to my life. Mac: (to Danny) Eighteen hour shift wasn’t enough? Now you’re catching bodies on the way home? Mac: (to Joe) You’re under arrest for the murder of Derrick James, Lauren Salinas, kidnapping and attempted murder of a crime scene investigator. Armed robbery, grand theft auto, assault and battery...and most of all...for pissing me off. (A crane lifts up a container, revealing someone squashed underneath) Criminal Minds quotes Gideon: Don't call me "Dad" again. (walks away) Reid: Can you do me a favor? Morgan: (to Reid after he wins another game of Poker) How come you always winnin'? Elle: Make a wish! Hotchner: Well, define love. Morgan: Okay, so tell me, what does keep young Dr. Reid awake at night? Wait, let me guess. Memorizing some obscure textbook. No, no, no, no. Working on cold fusion. No, I got it. I got it. I got it. Watching Star Trek ... and laughing at the physics mistakes. Hotchner: Yeah, what's doghouse in Spanish? Reid: (to Morgan) Can you get in there?(the elevator comes to a stop. Morgan stops a couple of times) Don't do that. Reid: I need to stop by a book store and pick up a copy of Empty Planet. I wanna re-read it before we talk to the author. I haven't read it since I was six. Reid: We need some butts rushed to the lab for DNA analysis. Morgan: So, we're lookin' for a guy who really, really hates spinach? Reid: My mom used to read me that. It was highly considered to be the first Valentine's poem. Gideon: Ever talked to someone who wants to continually show you he's smarter than you? Morgan: (to Reid) Come on, genius. Do some genius thing. JJ: (to Gideon) If it makes you feel any better, Hotch and Morgan took off. Garcia: Reid, seriously. People who have gone into that house supposedly never come out. (in a shaky voice) Spooky. Morgan: The only thing I was ever scared of was the dark. JJ: Why is he still afraid of the dark? Morgan: (about Reid) I'm not gonna sleep until we bring our boy home. Morgan: The unsubs are right about one thing. The world is pretty screwed up. Gideon: Reid’s brilliant. He’ll figure out how to survive. Raphael: Choose one to die. Hotchner: Two different MOs. Horatio: You know what they say, "You lie down with the devil you wake up in hell". God- Chuck Norris can swim through land. This guy can walk on water. No one can begin to understand eternity~Job 36:26 Psalm 4 (Msg) Look at this: look Complain if you must, but don't lash out. Why is everyone hungry for more! "More, more," they say. Than they get in all their shopping sprees, Psalm 121: 1-3 (Msg) He won't let you stumble, Psalm 40: 1-3 (Msg) Psalm 23 (Msg) Even when the way goes through You serve me a six-course dinner Your beauty and love chase after me Psalm 145: 2, 10-11 (Msg) Creation and creatures applaud you, God, They talk about the glories of your rule, Psalm 146: 1-2 (Msg) Proverbs 10: 2 (Msg) Proverbs 10: 6 (Msg) Proverbs 10: 12 (Msg) Proverbs 10: 19 (Msg) You're not home yet Satan comes along and tells us that we're not worthy to be in God's presence and that we're only fit for hell. But, then God comes and says, "Satan, I've checked the rule book and it says he doesn't have to go." Faith isn't harbor-hugging. Faith is bungee-jumping. Jesus doesn't promise to calm every storm, but He promises to calm us in those storms. If Jesus is in the boat with us then we can say, "Come on storm! Bring it on!" "Wisdom gives us the knowledge and ability to make right choices at the opprtune time. Wisdom is not just for the mentally sharp; it is for all who fear the Lord and are found in Christ."~John Bevere (Driven by Eternity) "Jesus was more concerned about telling people the truth than He was building a crowd."~John Bevere (Driven by Eternity) "Jesus came to save us from paying the eternal penalty of sin that was originally intended for Satan."~John Bevere (Driven by Eternity) "Don't worry about what you do not understand...Worry about what you do understand in the Bible but do not live by it."~Corrie Ten Boom "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."~The Apostle Paul, in Philippians 1:21 Life is but a vapor When we want to communicate with our friends we send them an e-mail. Well, God sends His people e-mails, too. It's called the Bible. Beliefs God The University professor challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?" A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!" "God created everything?" The professor asked. "Yes sir", the student replied. The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil." The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question, professor?" "Of course", replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?" "What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question. The young man replied, "In fact, sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat." The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?" The professor responded, "Of course it does." The student replied, "Once again you are wrong, sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton 's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of Darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present." Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?" Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil." To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light." The professor sat down totally deflated. The young man's name -- Albert Einstein God A soldier was home after serving in the Middle East. He decided to go back to school. One day the class began talking about God and religion. Suddenly, the professor yelled, "God, if You are real strike me down!" The class fell silent. A few minutes past and nothing happened. Again, the professor yelled, "God! If You are real strike me down!" Then, the soldier got up from his seat, walked down to where the professor was and knocked him out cold. He casually walked back to his seat and sat down. A few minutes past and the professor came to. He shook his head, got to his feet and looked at the soldier. "What in the world did you do that for?" he demanded. The soldier calmly replied, "God was busy looking after our soldiers over in the Middle East. So, He sent me instead." No guilt in life no fear in death If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you. When life gives you lemons make grape juice. Then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it. “Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way you’re a mile away from them and you have their shoes.” “Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most.” “People who say anything’s possible haven’t tried to slam a revolving door.” “An apple away keeps the doctor away, if well aimed.” Parents spend the first part of our lives teaching us to walk and talk, and the rest of it telling us to sit down and shut up Life isn’t passing me by, it’s trying to run me over. Was that an earthquake, or did I just rock your world? I don’t suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it! Don’t frown, even when you’re sad, someone could be falling in love with your smile. You have to have darkness for a dawn to come. Last night I looked up at the stars and matched each star to a reason I loved you. I was doing fine till I ran out of stars. To the world, you are just one person, but to one person, you are the world. Charm is a way of getting the answer "yes" without asking a clear question. Some minds are like concrete; thoroughly mixed and permanently set. The town was so dull that when the tide went out it refused to come back in. All things considered, insanity may be the only reasonable alternative. What happens if you get scared half to death twice? How is it possible to have a civil war? “When life hands you lemons, throw those lemons right back at it and tell life to make its own dang lemonade” Always forgive your enemies - Nothing annoys them so much If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something Don’t mess with me I’ve got a stick One way to figure out how things work, push all the buttons! When I am at Hogwarts I will not: Sing “I’m Off to See the Wizard” when sent to the Headmasters office. Darth Vader-Come to the dark side. We have COOKIES! Luke Skywalker-Nah, the rebels have cake. Darth Vader-ooh! Can I be a rebel?! I smile because I have no idea what’s going on! “I’d rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I’m not.” “If you can’t see the bright side of life, polish the dull side.” I’m not so good at advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment? “Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.” –Bill Watterson “I’m the kind of person your parents warned you about.” “Sticks and stones may scar my skin but words slice through my soul within” “It’s not until you’re broken that you know what you’re made of.” “This isn’t just goodbye, this is I can’t stand you.” “I hear your silence loud and clear.” “The past is only the future with the lights on.” Don’t follow me, I’m lost too It’s always the last place you look. Of course it is why would I keep looking after I’ve found it? Do I have to spell it out for you or scream it in you face? Haha. I don’t get it Set sail in a genaral that way direction Poke me. I dare you. When life gives you lemons make apple juice and then laugh when people try to figure out what the heck you did. When life gives you lemons, chuck them at people you hate. It doesn’t matter whether the glass is half empty or half full just drink it and get it over with. It takes 42 muscles to frown, 28 to smile and only 4 to reach out and slap someone. Defination of homework: Some form of crude mind control still used in some priminal areas. One day your prince will come. Mine? Oh he took a wrong turn, got lost, and is too stubburn to ask for directions. WARNING: Do NOT walk in my footsteps... I tend to walk into walls, and off the occasional cliff. I’m not afraid of Death, what’s it gonna do kill me? Did you know: Sarcasm is your body’s natural defense against stupidity. Paper may beat rock, but cannon ball make big hole in paper. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but my keyboard can crush your crummy pen! Anger: these come from a quote book I found in my dad's home library one day. "Anger" is just one letter short of danger. Never strike a child! You might miss and hurt yourself. Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. When angry count ten before speaking. When very angry count one hundred and then don't speak. One of the sorriest specticles imaginable is the anger of two people who have gotten into an argument over something that neither of them knows anything about. Blowing your stack adds to air pollution. Alarm Clocks: these come from the same book the above quotes came from One thing an alarm clock never arouses is our better nature. The trouble with alarm clocks is that they always go off when you're asleep. A future awaits the inventor of an alarm clock that can't go off.
