I am the girl with the sarcastic mind. I am the girl with the horrible eyesight. I am the girl who sings at the top of her lungs whenever she gets a chance. I am the girl who loves history and reading so much some people think she's antisocial. I am the girl who wants to be the heroine of all her favorite books, so much so that she talks to her friends and siblings until they are driven insane. I am the girl who loves to spell long words. I am the girl who is stuck wearing glasses for the rest of her life because she can't bear to touch her eyes. I am the girl who's on the school cross country team and sucks at running. I am the girl who can read and walk at the same time through a thick crowd of people without dropping said book or running into said people.

I am the girl who is so freaking sorry for procrastinating and being involved in too many things at school so she can never update.

(11/29/12) Ships on my sushi boat: Jeyna Percabeth Liper Frazel Pothena, occasionally Rico. Thalia ahould stay a maiden, but Rachel seems more real of she isn't a maiden. Fax Niggy Ron/Hermione HarryxGinny JamesxLily CLACE! AlecxMagnus (Malec?) SimonxMaia And last but not least, KatnissxPeeta. I refuse to call this Katpee or Peeniss. Actually, why don't we just call it Kata? People I consider to be my friends on this site: WeHeartBooks MidnightParade MrsEDarcy There She Goes And Shes Comin And many more with whom I am acquainted... Like AnotherFacelessAuthor. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE AWESOME STORIES. GO NOW, MY MINIONS, AND READ. Read! Read, I say! Still I Rise by Maya Angelou You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. ''Tis some visitor,' I muttered, 'tapping at my chamber door- Only this, and nothing more.' Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore- For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Nameless here for evermore. And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating, ''Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door- Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;- This it is, and nothing more.' Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, 'Sir,' said I, 'or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you'- here I opened wide the door;- Darkness there, and nothing more. Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering,fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, 'Lenore!' This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, 'Lenore!'- Merely this, and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before. 'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice: Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore- Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;- 'Tis the wind and nothing more.' Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore; Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door- Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door- Perched, and sat, and nothing more. Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore. 'Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, 'art sure no Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore- Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning- little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door- Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as 'Nevermore.' But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered- not a feather then he fluttered- Till I scarcely more than muttered, 'other friends have flown On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.' Then the bird said, 'Nevermore.' Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, 'Doubtless,' said I, 'what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore- Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore Of 'Never- nevermore'.' But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore- What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking 'Nevermore.' This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er, She shall press, ah, nevermore! Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor. 'Wretch,' I cried, 'thy God hath lent thee- by these angels he Respite- respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' 'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted- On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore- Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' 'Prophet!' said I, 'thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or By that Heaven that bends above us- by that God we both adore- Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore- Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.' Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' 'Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend,' I shrieked, 'Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore.' And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted- nevermore! Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night by Dylan Thomas Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on that sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Invitation by Shel Silverstein If you are a dreamer, come in If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer... If you're a pretender, come sit by the fire For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in! All the above are amazing uplifting (except for The Raven) poems. They rock. My personal favorites are hereby conducted into my profile. (all were copied from poemhunter dot com) I have theme songs for a few of my favorite couples. Most are Taylor Swift. Thuke - State of Grace by Taylor Swift Percabeth - Long Live by Taylor Swift (OR Everything Has Changed or Sparks Fly ) Tratie - Stay Stay Stay by Taylor Swift Annabeth - Blown Away by... Carrie Underwood! (She's pretty awesome too...) Also Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson (Annie are you okay?) Annabeth vs. Rachel - Better Than Revenge by Taylor Swift (Also works for Max vs. Lissa in SO-F from MR) Max on Valium - Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen Max - Eyes Open by Taylor Swift Fax - I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift (Mostly for the end of FANG and all of ANGEL) Katniss Everdeen - Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys (duh. it's perfect for her.) So how many are by T Swizzle? I think there's... uhm... 8 out of 12. So only three weren't Tay Tay... Wow. I need to stop listening to the 47 songs of hers that I own. iPod Shuffle Challenge 1. Describe yourself. Only Girl (In The World) - Rihanna. (No way in Hades, people.) 2. What do people feel when they’re around you? Chrismas Swag - Ytf. (What the crap? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this song is awesome but... no.) 3. Describe your current relationship. Fly Over States - Jason Aldean. (Doesn't make sense at all, but I'm glad it's this rather than anything else, considering I'M SINGLE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. Sheesh.) 4. Where would you like to be right now? Summer Nights - Rascal Flatts (I suppose. Summer nights are pretty awesome... Like the FOurth of July.) 5. How do you feel about love? Half of My Heart - John Mayer ft. Taylor Swift (Honestly, I hate this song. I don't know why it's on my iPod. But it makes sense, if you think about it.) 6. What is your life like? Star Wars - Main Title - John Williams, etc. ( Okay, I'll admit that I am a super Star Wars geek, but I'm no Princess Leia.) 7. What would you wish for if you only had one wish? Keep Me In Mind - Zac Brown Band ( Kind of makes sense. I often feel like the third wheel in conversations and just in life in general sometimes. But this is a love song. Really.) 8. Say something wise. The Last Time - Taylor Swift ft. Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol (I love this song so frickin much. It's beautiful. And it has very good lyrics, if that counts as wise.) 9. How would you describe yourself? Settlin' - Sugarland (I hate this song, love the band. And doesn't work for me at all. Except for the first line or so.) 10. What do you look for in a guy? I''ll Sing Of Your Love ft. Israel Houghton) - Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir (wrong guy, I think. I will most likely never sing this about an actual guy. For church, sure. Just give me the lyrics.) 11. How do you feel today? Fireflies - Owl City (Uh... No. Just no. Good song, though.) 12. What’s your life’s purpose? Nuttin' For Christmas - Sugarland (Making mischief seems like a good life's purpose, I suppose. Listen to this song. It's one of the funniest Christmas songs ever.) 13. What's your motto? King Of Anything - Sara Bareilles (Okay, the person's profile I copied this from has the SAME EXACT THING HERE. Creepy much? But no, it doesn't really work for me.) 14. What do your friends think of you? All Your Life - The Band Perry (I'm not exactly what you'd call overly loyal *cough*Percy*cough* but I suppose...) 15. What do your parents think of you? Eeveryday America - Sugarland (I don't know the words to this song. I just have it because it's Sugarland and it's awesome. I hope my parents don't think of me this way, though. Gosh!) 16. What do you think about very often? Gangnam Style - PSY (OH. MY. GOD. HOW DID IT KNOW? We dance to this around my house all the time!) 17. What do you think of your best friend? Round & Round - Selena Gomez and The Scene (It works I suppose. Except my best friend isn't a guy. So, no.) 18. What do you think of the person you like? Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You - Straight No Chaser ( I see how this works for a crush, but no. Just no. I don't stare at my crush all the time!) 19. What is your life story? Knee Deep - Zac Brown Band ft. Jimmy Buffet ( I don't get to relax all the time! More like I'm busy six days a week. Is it Opposite Day or something?) 20. What do you want to be when you grow up? Bluebird - Christina Perri ( I've always wanted to have wings like Maximum Ride (maybe that's why I like them so much) but I'm extremelyl scared of heights so I don't think that would work very well.) 21. What do you think of when you see the person you like? Time Is Love - Josh Turner (yet another song I don't know the words to but it's still on my iPod. And in no way does this work.) 22. What will you dance to at your wedding? The 12 Days of Christmas (Live) - Straight No Chaser (I can see that... If I get married during December.) 23. What will play at your funeral? Mean - Taylor Swift (The crap?) 24. Biggest fear? Christmas Wish - Straight No Chaser (Why do I have so many Christmas songs on my iPod? And I'm not scared of Christmas.) 25. Biggest secret? Stereo Hearts ft. Adam Levine - Gym Class Heroes ( I don't understand this. I mean, I'd probably tell someone if my heart was a stereo, (which sometimes I think my brain is) but it's not, so...) This didn't really make any sense. At all. I hate sterotypes, don't you? I'm SKINNY, so I MUST be anorexic. I'm a NEGRO so I MUST carry a gun. I'm WHITE and have Asian best friends so I MUST think I'm Asian Ah, stereotypes suck. THIS IS THE END OF MY PROFILE. BE WARNED OF THE AWESOMENESS BELOW. *PSST! (It actually kinda sucks, if you ask me.)* | |||||||||
