I am a Texan female over the age of 20, that's all you need to know.

I love cats, horses, dogs, dolphins, and many more, but why bore you by listing them?

I love dancing.

I love to sing and I love music.

I love movies. I adore sitting in a comfy chair and watching an old favorite.

And, of course, I am a bibliophile. Very few things make me happier than curling up with a good book.

I enjoy writing, but I am not necessarily an aspiring writer. Writing for me is mostly a very inexpensive way to vent my feelings. It is my therapy and without it, I may very well have been locked up in the loony bin long ago.
I have contributed two stories to the fanfiction world and I do not see that number going up anytime soon. These samples of my writing are not a current representation of how I write now. I have changed quite a bit in the few years it has been since I first posted my fanfictions. I hope you will read, and hopefully enjoy, them.

Some of my favorite quotes:

Reach for the moon, if you fail, you'll still be among the stars.

Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow. ~Jeff Valdez

Pints? It comes in pints? I'm getting one. ~Pippin, FOTR

You need people of intelligence on this sort of mission...quest...thing. ~Pippin, FOTR

Well that rules you out Pip. ~Merry, FOTR

Those who dance are considered insane by those who can't hear the music.

So that's the reason for all the... ~Will Turner imitating Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean, 2003

Dancers are the athletes of God ~Einstein

To tap or not to tap...silly question.

Dance isn't a form. It's a way of life.

It takes an athlete to dance, but an artist to be a dancer.

Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.

It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter. ~Marlene Deitrich

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? Thought I was the only one."
~C.S. Lewis

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life. ~Mark Twain

A friend is one before whom I may think aloud. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Good thing we've still got politics in Texas -- finest form of free entertainment ever invented. ~Molly Ivins

After scolding one's cat one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference. ~Charlotte Gray

Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this.

Cats always know whether people like or dislike them. They do not always care enough to do anything about it.
~Winifred Carriere

Even the stupidest cat seems to know more than any dog. ~Eleanor Clark

The phrase "domestic cat" is an oxymoron. ~George F. Will

People that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.~Faith Resnick

There are many intelligent species in the universe. They are all owned by cats.

A pony is a childhood dream, A horse is an adulthood treasure.~ Rebecca Carroll

Riding: The art of keeping a horse between you and the ground.

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. ~Unknown
