"There are metaphors more real than the people who walk in the street. There are images tucked away in books that live more vividly than many men and women. There are phrases from literary works that have a positively human personality. There are passages from my own writing that chill me with fright, so distinctly do I feel them as people, so sharply outlined do they appear against the walls of my room, at night, in shadows….. I've written sentences whose sound, read out loud or silently (impossible to hide their sound), can only be of something that acquired absolute exteriority and a full-fledged soul." -Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

UPDATE 3/19/13

I come bearing bad news, unfortunately. Due to the rapidly approaching nightmare of my three AP exams (college classes that you take in high school), I hardly have any time to read or write fics. I am trying desperately to juggle fanfiction with school work, as well as eating, sleeping, exercise, social life, etc, but it's not working very well.

Until the end of May, all of my fics will be put on hold. Even the ones in progress.

This includes:

Such is Life will be updated/finished in the near future. I apologize to all of my readers! But never doubt that I might free up and drop a surprise, so keep your eyes peeled!
