Name: Samantha

Age: 19

I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I read way too much and work on a farm. That might explain some things, no?

Woo! College leaves no time for anything.

Stories:

I'm trying to write a Star Ocean AlbelNel fic. I don't know when it will be up.

I'm thinking about a Tamora Pierce fic for the Circle Opens. This would be mainly OCs with the mention of other characters because the plan was to have a new character get a student. I don't know how much people would enjoy it though.

I've heard that it's possible to grow up, I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves.

"I'll understand, of course, if you want to stay with your aunt and uncle," said Black. "But...well...think about it. Once my name's cleared...if you wanted a...a different home..."
Some sort of explosion took place in the pit of Harry's stomach.
"What-live with you?" he said, accidentally cracking his head on a bit of rock protruding from the ceiling. "Leave the Dursleys?"
"Of course, I thought you wouldn't want to," said Black quickly. "I understand, I just thought I'd-"

Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew-and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents- that there was all the difference in the world. Half-Blood Prince, 512

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.-My dad

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

If at first you do succeed try to hide your surprise.

This is not something to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

When I'm totally convinced of something and then I realize I've changed my mind, almost without knowing it.

"The strongest memory is weaker than the palest ink." It's a Chinese proverb, and I don't like it because I think memories are important.

Those cloth book-covers. Yeah. I hate those. I can't see what book I'm grabbing and it's hard to pull out of my locker.

When the radio plays good songs so much I get sick of them. For example, Home (Daughtry) and Hey There Delilah (Plain White T's)
