Heya to all the randoms out there...

Things to know about me:
I have the unique ability to become drunk on fresh air... as many people have found out the hard way... Oh, and on marshmallows... I'm quite talented really...
I am an undiagnosed dyslexic so I have trouble speaking and writing, especially when I don't concentrate.
I am very passionate about quotes from TV shows (I won't name them all- there's too many to count), to the point where I can almost directly quote particular episodes when they are on TV.
I am a MAJOR procrastinator. I often leave things to the last minute, a habit I have yet to break. I currently have a least a dozen, if not more, stories half-written (most are multi-chapters) whilst my mind is already jumping ahead for the next idea for a story.
I am Australian even though I don't sound like it. I have a mix of accents from hanging around too many people and watching too much television. My friends love making fun of me and my accents...

Random Television Quotes:

Rick Castle: [To Kate] Most people come up against a wall, they give up. Not you. You don't let go. You don't back down. That's what makes you extraordinary.

Kate Beckett: It's not your fight.
Rick Castle: The hell it isn't. I don't hang around you just to annoy you. I don't ride out to murder scenes in the middle of the night to satisfy some morbin curiosity. If that's all this was, I would've quit a long time ago.
Kate Beckett: Well, then why do you keep coming back, Rick?

Kate Beckett: [To Castle] Why is it that what attracts you to a person, always ends up being the thing that just drives you crazy? I just wish that -- I wish that I had someone who would be there for me, and I could be there for him, and we could just dive into it together.

Rick Castle: [To Kate] We kiss, and the we never talk about it. We nearly die, frozen in each other's arms, but we never talk about it, so I got no clue what we are. I know I don't want to see you throw your life away.

Kate Beckett: There is no victory, there are only battles. And in the end, the best you can hope for is to find a place to make your stand. And if you're very lucky, you find someone will to stand by you.

Kate Beckett: How am I even supposed to trust anything that you say?
Rick Castle: Because of everything that we've been through together. Four years I've been right here. Four years just waiting for you to open your eyes, to see that I'm right here. And I'm more than a partner. Every morning I bring you a cup of coffee just so that I can see a smile on your face because I think that you are the most remarkable, maddening, challenging, frustrating person that I've ever met. And I love you, Kate.

Aaron Hotchner: [Final monologue] Sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day. Sometimes you do everything right, everything exactly right, and still you feel like you failed.

Emily Prentiss: You don't choose who you fall in love with.

Spencer Reid: I know what it's like to be afraid of your own mind.

Jason Gideon: In this line of work, I was afraid I would lose the ability to trust, but I've realized I can't really look at anyone, without seeing their death. And as bad as losing faith in humanity seems, losing your faith in happy endings is much worse.

Penelope Garcia: I want to see the good in people. I choose to see the good in people.

Jennifer Jareau: [Talking about mothers] They're not supposed to be the cause of you pain. They're supposed to make it go away. They're supposed to hold you and tell you everything's gonna be all right. They're supposed to tell you that thunder is Angels bowling, that it's okay to be afraid of the dark, that it's not silly to think there might be monsters in your closer, and that it's okay if you want t climb in bed with them just this once. 'cause it's there in the room all alone. [Pause] They're supposed to say it's okay to be afraid, and not to be the thing you're afraid of. But most importantly, they're supposed to love you, no matter what.

Jennifer Jareau: [To Billie Flynn about Ellie] You can choose teaching her that, yes, there are monsters, and it's okay to be afraid of them. It's not okay to let them win, and it's not okay to be one.

Jennifer Jareau: I'm thankful for my years spent with this family. For everything we've shared. Every chance we had to grow. I'll take the best of them with me. And lead by their example wherever I go. A friend told me to be honest with you, so hear it goes. This isn't what I want, but I'll take the high road. Maybe it's because I look at everything as a lesson. Or because I don't wanna walk around angry. Or maybe it's because I finally understand. There are things we don't wanna happen but have to accept. Things we don't wanna know but have to learn. And people we can't live without but have to let go.

Penelope Garcia: [Voicemail] Hey, it's me. Hotch asked me to try all your numbers and I have this in an old listing. And you probably don't even use it anymore, but if it is you and you're out there, come home. Please. [Pause] God, Emilly, what did you think? That we would just let you walk out of our lives? I am so furious at you right now. Then I think of how sacred you must be, in that dark place, all alone. But you're not alone, okay? You are not alone. We are in that dark place with you. We're waving flashlights and calling your name, so if you can see us, come home. [Emily starts crying] But if you can't then, then you stay alive, 'cause we're coming. [Call ends]

Ashley Seaver: Sometimes we do everything right and we still lose.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Rule 51 - Sometimes, you're wrong.

Olivia Benson: We blame all kinds of people for creating monsters. Why not ourselves?

Camille Walters: [To Olivia] I'm nobody. Who are you? Are you nobody, too?

Chloe Sullivan: [To Clark] There are people out there who want to help you fight the good fight and you need to let them in... Because even heroes need to be saved.

Lana Lang: [To Clark whilst under the influence of Red Kryptonite] If life doesn't make you crazy, then why bother living it?

Helen Magnus: Do you remember when you were small? You used to come into my room in the middle of the night. You'd crawl into my arms and you'd say, "Mummy, I’m afraid." Ashley, I’m afraid.

Helen Magnus: You know, I hate the term happy. Like it's the be-all, end-all of life. Like if we don't achieve perfect happiness we somehow failed.

Helen Magnus: We all have the impulse for violence; the true measure of a species, indeed, of a person, is in our restraint.

John Crichton: I'm tired. What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do when there's no fight left?
Aeryn Sun: You run away.

H.G. Wells: How do you say goodbye to the one person who knows you better than anyone else?

Sam Winchester: It can be nice, living in a dream world. It can be great, I know that. And you can hide and you can pretend all the crap out there doesn't exist. But you can't do it forever because eventually whatever it is you're running from, it'll find you. It'll come along and it'll punch you in the gut. And then, then you gotta wake up. Because if you don't, then trying to keep that dream alive will destroy you. It'll destroy everything.

Famous Quotes

I'm 98 stupid and 2 crazy... or is it the other way around...?

My imaginary friend thinks you have serious mental problems...

"'I'm here, I'm here.' And, sometimes that's all you can say. Sometimes that's all the comfort you have to offer and all you can expect." - Anita Blake, Bullet

"I believed in love, but I believed in evil, too. Neither love nor evil conquers all, but evil cheats more." - Anita Blake, Cerulean Sins

"Sometimes you fight what you are, and sometimes you give into it. And some night you just don't want to fight yourself anymore, so you pick someone else to fight." - Anita Blake, Incubus Dreams

"There's always going to be bad stuff out there. But here's the amazing thing-- Light trumps darkness, everytime. You stick a candle into the dark, but can't stick the dark into the light." - Jodi Picoult, Change Of Heart

"One of the hardest things in life is watching the one you love, love someone else." - Unknown

"There’s a point in life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything, but it’s not giving up. It’s realizing that you don’t need certain people and their crap." - Unknown

"There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who created it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the one who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." - Unknown

From Criminal Minds

"It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting it's sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but it is never gone." - Rose Kennedy

"Superman is, after all, an alien life form. He's simply the acceptable face of invading realities." - Clive Barker

"The noir is a knight in blood-caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time." - Frank Miller

"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." - Terry Pratchett

"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win." - Stephen King

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche

"Hope is the worst of the evils, for it prolongs the torment of man." - Friedrich Nietzsche

I think that's enough randomness from me...
