![]() Author has written 1 story for Gone with the Wind. 10/04/2008 status: Hi guys! I know you've been wondering, but the answer is no, I'm not dead. I'm so sorry I haven't updated in such a loooooooong time, but I promised I will finish this fic. Actually I'm planning on writing a new chapter soon. Maybe in about a month or so. Summer is approaching and so is holiday! Well, at least here in New Zealand. So finally I will have some time to be spent on writing. See you then! - sasha - about me : Everybody calls me Sasha. 18 years old, female. Indonesia born and raised. Quite tall as an Asian girl (5.5 ft). Black hair and dark eyes. I personally think my eyes are my best features. I love to read; almost everything. I'm totally deeply in love with Gone With The Wind. It's bordering on obsession for me. I love Rhett Butler, he's the epitome of those who have Y chromosomes. I also love Scarlett O'Hara for her passion and gumption, her strength and perseverance. I also like the sequel Scarlett. Some people may not like the sequel, but I find myself enjoy it immensely. Too bad I can't say the same things about Rhett Butler's People. I like writing. I love putting my thoughts and emotions into words; for me it hold a certain charm. Writing has an endurance of which spoken words sometimes lack. So far, I've written fanfics (though I only put one in this site), poems, essays, and some original fictions. In both Indonesian and English. Here are some books I considered the best : Gone With The Wind (Margaret Mitchell), Scarlett (Alexandra Ripley), Phantom of The Opera (Gaston Leroux), Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen), Eleven Minutes (Paulo Coelho), The Alchemist (Paulo Coelho), By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept (Paulo Coelho), The Virgin Blue (Tracy Chevalier), Perfume (Patrick Süskind), If Tommorow Comes (Sidney Sheldon), Faking It (Jennifer Crusie), Don't Look Down (Jennifer Crusie & Bob Mayer), She Went All The Way (Meg Cabot), Playing James (Sarah Mason), Saman (Ayu Utami), Little Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry), Deltora Quest Series (Emily Rodda), Twilight (Stephenie Meyer), and anything by Jeffery Deaver esp. The Lyncoln Rhyme Series. I read manga too. Inuyasha always be my favorite. I also read Samurai Deeper Kyo, Rurouni Kenshin, Flame Of Recca, Meitantei Conan, Detective School Q, Q.E.D., Ranma ½. I like music listening (although I can't play any instrument), singing (and I'm pretty confident with my voice), watching a play, and being engaged in a stimulating conversation. I love jazz, blues, bossa, and easy listening music. Most of the time, I don't like classical music. I love Disney's soundtrack and Broadway Musical's soundtrack. Especially The Phantom of The Opera soundtrack. Hope someday I'll get to watch the musical. Some of my favourite films are Gone With The Wind, Before Sunset, The Phantom of The Opera, Pride and Prejudice, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Sound of Music, Life Is Beautiful, The Holiday, Alladin, Beauty and The Beast, Anastasia.

And it’s very bad for a woman not to be afraid of something.” (Grandma Fontaine, Gone With The Wind) “Fighting is like champagne. It goes to the heads of cowards as quickly as of the heroes. Any fool can be brave on a battle field when it’s be brave or else be killed. I’m talking of something else. And my kind of cowardice is infinitely worse than if I had run the first time I heard a cannon fired.” (Ashley Wilkes, Gone With The Wind) “If you are different, you are isolated, not only from people of your own age but from those of your parents’ generation and from your children’s generation too. They’ll never understand you and they’ll be shocked no matter what you do. But your grandparents would probably be proud of you and say : ‘There’s a chip off the old block,’ and your grandchildren will sigh enviously and say : ‘What an old rip Grandma must have been!’ and they’ll try to be like you.” (Rhett Butler, Gone With The Wind) “Well, this is the reason. We bow to the inevitable. We’re not wheat, we’re buckwheat! When a storm comes along it flattens ripe wheat because it’s dry and can’t bend with the wind. But ripe buckwheat got sap in it and it bends. And when the wind has passed, it springs up almost as straight and strong as before. We aren’t a stiff-necked tribe. We’re mighty limber when a hard wind’s blowing, because we know it pays to be limber. When trouble comes we bow to the inevitable without any mouthing, and we work and we smile and we bide our time. And we play along with lesser folks and we take what we can get from them. And when we’re strong enough, we kick the folks whose necks we’ve climbed over. That, my child, is the secret of the survival.” (Grandma Fontaine, Gone With The Wind) Scarlett : “Melly! Lord, Grandma! What are you talking about? I’ve lived with Melly long enough to know she’s sickly and scared and hasn’t the gumption to say Boo to a goose.” Grandma Fontaine : “Now why on earth should anyone want to say Boo to a goose. It always sounded like a waste of time to me.” (Scarlett O’Hara & Grandma Fontaine, Gone With The Wind) “Whenever the world up-ends, his kind is the first to perish. And why not? They don’t deserve to survive because they won’t fight – don’t know how to fight. This isn’t the first time the world’s been upside down and it won’t be the last. It’s happened before and it’ll happen again. And when it does happen, everyone loses everything and everyone is equal. And then they all start again at taw, with nothing at all. That is, nothing except the cunning of their brains and the strength of their hands. But some people, like Ashley, have neither cunning nor strength or, have them, scruple to use them. And so they go under and they should go under. It’s a natural law and the world is better of without them. But there are always a hardy few who come through and given time, they are right back where they were before the world turned over.” (Rhett Butler, Gone With The Wind) “Yes, sorry because you’re such a child, Scarlett. A child crying for the moon. What would a child do with the moon, if it got it?” (Rhett Butler, Gone With The Wind) “Scarlett, I was never one to patiently picked up broken fragments and glue them together and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken – and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.” (Rhett Butler, Gone With The Wind) random things : You know you live in 2007 when... 1.) You accidentally enter your password on a microwave. 2.) You haven't played solitare with real cards for years 3.) The reason for not staying in touch with your friends is they dont have a screenname or my space 4.) You'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the buttons on the TV 6.) Your boss doesn't even have the ability to do your job. 7.) As you read this list you keep nodding and smiling. 8.) As you read this list you think about sending it to all your friends. 9.) And you were too busy to notice number 5. 10.) You scrolled back up to see if there was a number 5. 11.) Now you are laughing at yourself stupidly. 12.) Put this in your profile if you fell for that, and you know you did. recommended fics on FF.net : Gone With The Wind The Countess (AngelLuva) Twilight (StreetxSpirit) Living Another Day (Myra2003) A Dire Situation (Annie3) This Year's Love (Cornorama) Inuyasha The King Mistress (dolphingirl0113) Strictly Off The Record (dolphingirl0113) Soul Therapy (dolphingirl0113) Perfectly Flawed (dolphingirl0113) Once and Again (Jodie-chan) Dead Famous (Rozefire) Bottled Genius (Rozefire) 28 Days (Rozefire) Two Faced (Rozefire) Price of Freedom (Rozefire) The Babysitter (The Literary Dragon) Alter Ego (FrameofMind) Early December (Maiden of The Moon) |
