If thou wants my name, thou mayst call me Alea. I am of the opinion that I was born in the wrong century, and that I should have been born to the Queens court in the Renaissance era. The ladies had much better clothing taste back then.

Words to live by-

All things
by immortal power
near or far
to each other
hiddenly linked are.
That thou cans't not stir a flower
without troubling a star.

- Francis Thompson

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

- by Robert Frost

I like my friends, my music, singing and dancing, my family.

I dislike racists or church zealots that push their belief on others - I don't care what you believe in, just don't try to shove it on me, and homophobics.

I love the following:

If you have ever fallen up the stairs copy this into your profile.

If you have ever pushed on a door that said pull or the vise versa copy this into your profile.

If you have ever been so obsessed with something that now everyone is scared of you because of its effects copy this into your profile.

92 percent of the teenage population would die if Abercrombie and Fitch said that it wasn't cool to breathe anymore. Put this in your profile if you're part of the 8 percent that would be laughing your head off.

If you have ever had a mad laughing fit for absolutely no reason, copy and paste this into your profile.

98 of teenagers have tried smoking pot, if you are proud to say you are part of the 2 that hasn't, copy and paste this into your profile.

If you have ever run into a glass door, copy and paste this into your profile.

If you have ever had done something or said something that made perfect sense to your real friends and only caused your "peers" to look at you strangely and roll their eyes, copy and paste this into your profile.

If you have ever read something and had something a teacher said the next day remind you of what you read to the point where you burst into outragous stifled laughterand had your "peers" look at you strangely or point and laugh at you, copy and paste this into your profile.

If you don't have a problem with homosexuality, copy this into your profile.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FAN FICTION WRITERS By Instant Coffee, taken off of Mary Grayson's Little Robin's profile, paraphrased:
1. There is no limit to what can happen in life, just as the possibilities are endless in what can occur in a story.
2. Speaking on character – flaws rock! A character that can kick butt AND get their butt kicked is (Insert adjective here) It’s a character everyone will love because they can relate to it. NEVER create a character that no one can relate to, at the least, on an emotional level. You WILL get flamed, and I WON’T be horrible enough to not sign in, like many other flamers out there. (BTW – if flamers can’t sign in and state their opinion, chances are they’re too scared of your retaliation and weren’t worth listening to.)
3. Stand out. Why take an idea already formed when you have the power to create a situation not yet inferred? Take advantage of the possibilities your mind can produce, and make something out of it.
4. Detail is the reader’s way of seeing what you wish to depict. Why express what your characters are feeling with_ and @_@, etc.? There is no harm in spoon feeding your audience with imagery
5. Plagiarism does not make you a better writer. It makes you an imbecile for discrediting another person’s work, and a writer whose passion is not to be taken seriously any longer.
6. Never be afraid to start over! There are many instances in which something will not work right the first time. If so, why keep things that way? After all, if you do not like what you wrote, yet insist on keeping things so, chances are your readers will not like what you wrote, as well, and may question your ability and talent as an author.
7. Smugness does NOT work in the writing field. Take the initiative to review another story that may interest you, and chances are, you will be repaid just the same. ALL stories are review-worthy.
8. The summaries and titles of a story are just as important as the story itself. It is the reader’s first impression of what they are about to read. Often I find myself reading summaries and then reading the story to find it enchanting, and worthy of my favorites’ list.
9. Do not write for reviews, for if you do not write for the enjoyment and experience of writing, then you are writing for a lost cause.
10. Lastly: Writing is an art; treat it as such. There is no shortcut to producing the best type of art imaginable. There is only producing the best type of art imaginable with one’s heart, soul, and imagination.
