Hey guys! I guess I should start out by telling you a bit about myself.

Hobbies: I enjoy reading, writing, and drawing. I have been a devoted fan of fanfiction for a long time and have finally gotten around to making an account. Yay me! Here's my dA for some art: http://rainflame07.deviantart.com/ FMA art is soon to come!

Games: I really like most of the Final Fantasy games, but that's probably because they are the only ones I've actually been able to beat - and I use that term loosely. My dear friend usually comes over to beat the final bosses for me :D If you read this, thank you!

Music: Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, ect. Can't beat the standards ;) Of course, I enjoy my rock 'n roll. 80's music is pretty good. I love show tunes. Basically, I love anything except rap and country shudders. My favorite bands are currently The Rasmus, Reliant K, Savage Garden, and Evanescence, but that can all change on a whim. Michael Buble and Josh Groban are AMAZING XD girly scream ...ahem.

When I say, "I am a Christian"

By, Carol Wimmer

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved,"
I'm whispering"I get lost!"
That is why I chose this way.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are too visible,
But God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches,
Which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge,
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

"Anyways"

By Mother Teresa

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives;

Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable and people may cheat you;

Be honest and transparent anyway.

What you spend years building could be destroyed overnight;

Build anyway.

People need help, but may attack you if you try to help them;

Help them anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

People favor underdogs but will follow only top dogs;

Fight for underdogs anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you help them;

Help people anyway.

If you give the world the best you have, it may never be enough;

Give the world the best you have anyway.

The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds;

Think big anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth;

Give the world the best you have anyway.

Because it was never between you and them;

It is between you and God anyway."

Books: Well, apparently, the Bible. I am also a Twilight fan. Other books include Mere Christianity, Night, The Green Rider series, the Inheritance series, and I used to be quite the Star Wars nerd. I love the Chronicles of Narnia :D C.S. Lewis has got to be my favorite author, though. He had an amazing mind.

Movies: Let's see...well, I like A Walk to Remember, the X-Men movies, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Elf, The Ultimate Gift, Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, Howl's Moving Castle, and a billion different Disney movies, such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and many more.

TV Shows: I am an avid NCIS fan. I also love Avatar, Wolf's Rain, Escaflowne, House, and several others.
