“I'm not telling you it's going to be easy; I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.”

I would tell you all about my life, but that's a bit more private now than it used to be. My age is a mystery that would be amusing to watch as readers guess. My gender is pretty obvious simply based off of my work. Males and females have very different writing styles, even if they try to deny it. I am not old and I am not young. My looks are rather dull and unremarkable. I like to think I have a kickass personality and I think of myself as a rather badass person. Writing is something I do in my spare time, which is something I used to have a lot more of before December. Writing is my way of expressing my feelings on a certain subject. I could take a sentence and make an entire book to show its meaning and worth. I work in the medical field. I have only recently started traveling, so much of my works are extremely bias. I like dogs, hate cats. Seriously, they're evil.

Favorite Naruto character:

Itachi. End of story.

Favorite quotes:

"He traded honor for disgrace and Sasuke's love for his hatred, and even then he had died smiling."

--Madara (Naruto)

"It's not wise to judge others by their appearances and your preconceptions."- Itachi

"People hate those they do not understand" - Itachi

"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts ... their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?" -Itachi

"When people get hurt, they learn to hate...when people hurt others, they become hated and racked with guilt. But knowing that pain allows people to be kind. Pain allows people to grow...and how you grow is up to you." -Jiraiya

"When a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred." -Madara

"If my arms get ripped off, I'll just kick him to death. If my legs get ripped off, I'll just bite him to death. If my head gets ripped off, I'll just stare him to death. And if my eyes get ripped out, I'll just curse him to death!" - Naruto

"You're wrong, that's not what makes a shinobi. You never did get it, a real ninja is one who endures no matter what gets thrown at him. ... Let me explain something to you, there is only one thing that matters if you are a shinobi, and it isn't the number of jutsu you possess. All you do need, is the guts to never give up." -Jiraiya

"If you were a dementor, I'd be a criminal just to get your kiss."

"There are no bad days; only bad minutes in a day."

"Love is not about perfection, but compromise."

"Love is a gift given to all, wanted by some, and used by few."

"Inhale love, exhale hate."

"It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the things you do with it. YOU are beautiful."

--Ian O'Shea from The Host

"But just now, he'd gotten on his knees and proposed marriage, like in a television commercial for a diamond ring. Except of course they had the roll of duct tape instead, which, when you came to think about it, was a far more practical item. Such a bad mistake it would be, to embark on marriage and adult life without a nice supply of duct tape."
— Nancy Werlin (Impossible)

"All I could think of was that the teachers must've found the illegal stash of candy I'd been selling out of my dorms room. Or maybe they'd realized I got my Essay on Tom Sawyer from the Internet without ever reading the book and now they were going to take away my grade. Or worse, they were going to make me read the book. "

"If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself."

"When you love someone, its never over. You move on, because you have to but you take them with you in your heart."

-- Kissed by an Angel

"I'll unleash romantic suprises every week, such as: an impromptu picnic, roses, or a trip to Paris - but not actually any of those things because now they're not surprises."
-- Adrian (Vampire Academy)

"'So, I saw J last night,' begins the person with bad handwriting, to which the response is, 'What happened,' followed by no fewer than five question marks. Understandable, since sometimes one—let alone four—just won't get the point across, eh?"

"I don't know what's crazier: what you're actually telling me or the fact that you actually read something to find all this out.”

"We formed the fellowship of the ring when we should've all just gone on medication"
— Nancy Werlin (Impossible)

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts, that hope always triumphs over experience, that laughter is the only cure for grief, and that love is stronger than death." - Robert Fulgahm

" 'Twas not my lips you kissed but my soul."

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." - Oscar Wilde

"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem."

"Dear teacher, The reason my homework wasn't done is because I spent all night talking my best friend out of suicide. Sincerely, I did prioritize."

"If someone tells you they love you and your heart doesn't skip a beat, don't say it back, because you don't."

"I'm not slurring, I'm speaking in cursive..."

"Love is handing someone a gun and letting it point to your head, believing that he won't pull the trigger." --Spongebob Squarepants

"You can always say sorry but the real apology is when you hear the sadness in their voice and see the look in their eyes. And you realize that they have hurt themselves just as much." Kid Cudi

"When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew." --Shakespeare

"Sometimes I think a soulmate is someone who will make you be the most 'you' that you can possibly be."

Surprise, my dear "A Little Brown Journal" readers! I am back! I wonder how much both myself and my writing has changed these past five months?
