"People are like stained glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out but when darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within." Elizabeth Küber-Ross

I am one of those annoyingly optimistic people, it's awful really. I always have this ridiculously wide grin on my face. Often I can be found twirling around and singing random songs - either perfectly in key or wretchedly off. Why, you ask. Mainly because I believe that one of the worst traits a person can possess is the inability to find joy in life. If we can't laugh and have a good time, why bother? That being said, I am not one of those carefree teenagers who party and get drunk and high. Nope. I'm one of those teenagers who read an outrageous amount of fanfiction, procrastinate homework at an impossible level (always managing to get it in on time, though), and spend as much time as possible with my insane "savage" family. (Savage is the last time of part of my family, hemce the quotes).

However I am also incredibly sardonic, being permintly unable to bite back a comment; if you are not a teacher of sorts. Yet, it is obvious to tell I mean no harm, most of the time I end up apoligizing - unless you start laughing. The sad thing about my wit is I always seem to say the wrong thing, you see, I'm awfully shy and when you ask me a mildly embarrassing question I will go beet red and refuse to answer. Then later I will think of the perfect comeback and you will be gone. And if, by chance, you aren't gone and I decide to tell you said comment you will have forgotten what we were talking about. Making me seem stupid. Thanks, by the way.

This is going to sound completely bonkers, and I'm probably the only one who cares, but I was watching the show Friends the other day and I realized that Pheobe's brother Frank married a girl named Alice. And Neville Longbottom's parents were named Frank and Alice. I thought it was a funny quinky-dink. (Remind me never to say "quinky-dink" again, please.)

For all of you who are reading, or attempting to read, my fanfiction Hidden Stele, I apoligize for not updating sooner. It's just... in my mind I already know what happens and how it happens. This, I believe, has taken out the little urge inside of me screaming at me to get on the wagon and update the damn story already. Sorry, 'bout that.

I've start working on a new story, a Harry Potter one this time, about the one and only Lily and James. The plot should be fairly different from any of the others you have seen.

Also, along that same line, I have a few oneshots that I'm working on - a couple Harry Potter ones, a Mortal Instruments one, and hopefully another Halo one.

And (this is just an idea I've been tossing around in my head) I'm thinking about writing a short piece using only song lyrics. What do you think about that?

If you have any questions about anything or anything else (like any Harry Potter pick-up lines or stupid jokes - I am one of those people who will crack up at the stupidest things, so if you do have any awful jokes, please tell me them)...
