Hello and thanks for checking my page. Please R&R. Also, I recommend checking out Wolveskey's page. She is an exceptional writer. And check my recommendation list as well.

I am a authoress.

I encourage those who read this to remember to relax once in a while.

Anything copied is given respectful disclaimer.

name: Riayna Darkheart

Age: Between 1-100

Gender: Female

Location: Computer

Obsession: Many. Ex: Naruto (Itachi), Kingdom Hearts (Organization 13), Final Fantasy 7 (Sephiroth, Genesis, Angeal, Zack, and some of the lovable Turks), Yugioh (when I was younger), Pokemon (again, when i was way younger, though the games are still good), One Piece (till they stopped airing it), and somewhat Ouran High School (most funny and random 1st episode I've ever seen.), etc.

Fav. Bands: Within Temptation, Paramore, Evanescence, the newly formed awesome band We Are The Fallen and Three Days Grace.

Fav. Books: Anything w/dragons: Dragon Rider, Dragon Slippers, The Last Dragon series by Chris D'Lacey, Eragon, etc. Books on Ghost/paranormal activity.

Fav. Anime: Naruto, One Piece, Ouran High School Host Club, wolf's rain, Kenichi The Mightiest Diciple, Inuyasha, Yugioh, Pokemon, Bakugan, Digimon, Vampire Knight, Rosario Vampire. That's all I've ever watched and I like all of them. Some more than others.

Fav. T.V Shows: Animal Cops (all of them, stop animal cruelty!), Awesome Pawsome, Meerkcat Manor, The Universe, Cosmos, Stephen King Movies (rock!), most history channel & National Geographic shows I randomly flip to, and Groomer Has It. Yeah, kinda uninteresting, but the computer is all I really need with Youtube, free online games, and reading. Why do we bother having T.Vs again?

Fav. Manga: The Record of a Fallen Vampire, Rosario Vampire, Naruto, Inuyasha.

Fav. Movies: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (Go Sephiroth!), Final Fantasy : Spirits Within, Avatar, The Karate Kid (newest one), Marmaduke (hilarious), Hairspray (makes me smile ^.^), Stephen King again, Son Rise: A Miracle of Love (moving), Fast Foward, etc.

Fav activities: Fanfiction (that's why I'm here), reading, ANIME (have yet to find one I don't like), Manga, Video Games, Keyboard (over 500 instruments built in), and pacing (can't go a day without), and walking about a mile or 2 maybe 3, which helps put purpose into the pacing.

Fact: I.am.a.night owl. It's hard to find a time I'm not on. Unless I'm somewhere other than my house, I'm on youtube and sign into Fanfiction whether I actually do anything here or not. My stay awake at night record is a little over 6:00 in the morning.

Stories:

Charles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane as destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience. One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, “You’re Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!”

“How in the world did you know that?” asked Plumb.

“ I packed your parachute,” the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, “I guess it worked!” Plumb assured him, “It sure did. If your chute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.”Plumb couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb says, “I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform: a white hat, a bib in the back, and bell-bottom trousers. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said Good morning, how are you?’ or anything because, you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor.”

Plumb thought of the man hours the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn’t know.Now, Plumb asks his audience, “Who’s packing your parachute?” Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. Plumb also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory-he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called
on all these supports before reaching safety.

Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important. We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this week, this month, this year, recognize people who pack your parachute.

This is a story about God. Read if you believe in him, and read even if you don't.

A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 percent of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 percent of the people that read this won’t repost it?

Repost this if you truly believe in God.

PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what,
and if you stand up for him he will stand up for you.

~In Their Memory~

Mummy... Johnny brought a gun to school

He told his friends that it was cool

And when he pulled the trigger back

It shot with a great crack

Mummy I was a good girl

I did what I was told

I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold

But mummy when I went to school that day, I never said goodbye

I'm sorry mummy I had to go, but mommy please don't cry

When Johnny shot the gun he hit me and another

And all because he got the gun from his older brother

Mummy please tell daddy that I love him very much

And please tell Chris, my boyfriend, that it wasn't just a crush

And tell my little sister that she is the only one now

And tell my dear sweet grandmother that I'll be waiting for her now

And tell my wonderful friends that they were always the best

Mummy I'm not the first I'm no better than the rest

Mummy tell my teachers I won't show up for class

And never to forget this and please don't let this pass

Mummy why'd it have to be me no one deserves this

Mummy warn the others, mummy I left without a kiss

And mummy tell the doctors I know they really did try

I think I even saw a doctor trying not to cry

Mummy I'm slowly dying with a bullet in my chest

But mummy please remember I'm in heaven with the rest

Mummy I ran as fast as I could when I heard that crack

Mummy listen to me if you would

I wanted to go to college

I wanted to try things that were new

I guess I'm not going with daddy

On that trip to the new zoo

I wanted to get married

I wanted to have a kid

I wanted to be an actress

Mummy I wanted to live

But mummy I must go now

The time is getting late

Mummy tell my Chris

I'm sorry but I had to cancel the date

I love you mummy I always have

I know you know it's true

Mummy all I wanted to say is "mummy I love you"

In memory of the Columbian students that were lost

Please if you would

Pass this around

I'd be happy if you could

Not smash this on the ground

If you pass this on

Maybe people will cry

Just keep this in heart

For the people that didn't get to say "goodbye"
