For the few of you visiting my profile regarding Wilted Rose, I have no intention of ever reposting it. I'm sorry to disappoint those of you who were following it.

I am writing a piece of (hopefully) decent writing that I may post on this site eventually. I may be looking for a beta for it in the future, once I get all of the plot details worked out.

Now, on to the more Profile-ish part of my profile. (Yes, profile-ish. XD)

Let's see, what to tell you about me...

Well, I'm a girl, for starters. My username is not pronounced like Patricia with a K. It's pronounced Kuh-Tree-See-Uh, to break it down into syllables. Only obviously, you say all of the syllables together. I mean, you don't say words like "together" as "two-geh-thur" do you? XD

I frequently abuse smileys. I can scarcely make it two paragraphs before an "XD" or a "=D" manages to worm it's way into my writing. (And, for those of you not familiar with smileys, just look at them sideways. XD

Some quotes that I thought those of you happening upon my profile should read: (Anything in parentheses is obviously not part of a quote.)

Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be. - Thomas à Kempis

If you don't like how things are, change it. You're not a tree! - Unknown. (I'm sure that someone out there know who said that, but at present I can't. XD)

The day will happen whether or not you get up - John Ciardi

Nature gave man two ends - one to sit on and one to think with. Ever since then, Man's success or failure has been dependent on which end they use most. - George R. Kirkpatrick. (If you don't get this one at first, use one of your ends and think about it for a minute. XD)

Never believe in mirrors or newspapers. - Tom Stoppard (They always get everything backwards.)

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness may make you vulernable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People often need help, but may attack you if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you've got and you'll get kicked in your teeth.
Give the world your best anyway.
-Mother Theresa

And a few quotes I thought I'd add simply because I find them funny and/or particularly interesting:

The coves of this book are too far apart. - Ambrose Bierce

Asking whether machines can think is precisely as interesting as asking if submarines can swim. - Dijkstra

Make somebody happy today. Mind your own business. - Ann Landers. (If only some of the people that I know read and listened to this quote. XD)
