I can never have too many reviews. If you read something of mine, by all means, REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW Thank you.

Feel free to check out and review my amvs, too- Avatar: The Last Airbender, Yu-Gi-Oh, Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Teen Titans, Kim Possible, and Neon Genesis Evangelion: http://www.livevideo.com/jillrg and http://www.putfile.com/jillrg. (Youtube didn't even have the courtesy to notify me when they suspended my account).

Here is a quick introduction to who I am and why:

I had problems like any teenager growing up. My dysfunctional family wasn’t rich; in fact, we were poor. Our house was a sea of tension. My siblings and I got into dangerous fist fights. My father is an Adult Child of Alcoholics who never hit my mother but brutally emotionally abused her and broke her down almost on a nightly basis. I used to wonder why I didn’t turn to the popular teenage channels: drugs, drinking, sex…

I get it now.

It’s because I am a loner. I never turned to any such outlets because fitting in and/or companionship would not have made me feel better. Being a loner is a survival mechanism given to me by God that made me turn to books and daydreaming to cope instead of sex.

God protected me by making me a loner, and I will not run from it.

Thought for the Day: Can you teach a fish quantum physics?

The summer I turned sixteen, between my sophomore and junior years of high school, I attended a program for three weeks at the University of Miami in Florida, getting credits in Marine Biology.

The creatures of the sea fascinate me -- always have, always will. Not just beautiful, majestic creatures like Orcas ("The Wolf of the Sea") and polar bears. Tiny, little, mundane fish can be pretty interesting, too, when you think about it. What do all those forwarded e-mail factoids say about the intelligence of fish? Goldfish have a memory span of eight seconds... can't feel pain or fear or sadness... brain smaller than their eye... Well, most of what we hear about fish agrees on one thing: they're stupid.

Okay, that's rude. What we mean is, while fish may know enough to be fish and live like fish, compared to humans, they're stupid. There are things we as humans know that you could never teach fish. It would be impossible- IMPOSSIBLE - to teach a fish anything about quantum physics, the study of the electrons of an atom as waves instead of particles. Now I'm sure there are some humans out there who are thinking, "Hey, it would be impossible to teach me anything about quantum physics."

Compared to how much smarter we as humans are than fish, how much smarter is God than us? A lot more. I have my days when I feel desperate, confused, broken... wishing God would just explain how this could possibly all fit together and what's going on. But like fish could never understand quantum physics, there are some things about God I as a human just don't have the capacity to fathom. I can't know, but I can trust that God knows.

I first saw this poem on a poster in my high school English classroom, along with other famous poets' work. I doubt it was written by a student, but I cannot find it anywhere else. Does anyone recognize it or can tell me who wrote it?

Born so innocently, so humbly,
so divinely, so joyfully,
to die in hate in cruelty, in slander.

Born of Heaven, born of God,
born to love, to set men free
of hate, of cruelty, of slander.

Born for His blood, to live and give,
to cry and die, to live again.
From his blood, we yield and receive,
we ask and get, for life from death.

And here's a poem my little sister suggested I write. (I categorically DO NOT believe in aliens.)

Each new day in the city is a faster thrill ride,
keeps adrenaline flowing, keeps blood pressure unsteady.
Traffic jams long enough to drive you to suicide,
excitement, speed, and headaches, thy name is “the city.”

But every night in the country could be your last,
for only somewhere dark, deserted, never busy
does, out of the sky, some unknown entity crash
that, oddly enough, never lands in the city.

“Deserted wilderness” is a UFO’s Parking sign:
no alert, no warning, no witnesses. I guarantee:
it never fails; every spaceship ever reported,
wherever it landed, it was not in the city.

Sure, all aliens ever do when they land here
is abduct earthlings, return them, erase their memory.
(You’d think a species as advanced as they must be
would hunt somewhere with more game, like a city?)

Serial killers, muggers, bank robbers, terrorists…
as dangerous as life in the city can be,
when it comes to hiding from aliens, rest assured,
the safest place to live is the heart of the city.

So when city life’s pressures make you reach for the Aspirin,
when you wish for the quiet and space of the country,
just remember the one place UFOs never land,
and be glad you live in the city.

Sad Song/Zuko and Jin/Zuko fic. There's an elephant-in-the-room issue about Fire Bending I think someone needs to address, but I wanted to address it in fic form, and I needed characters to do it with. These seemed like the best choice.
