Just Jess

But you can call me dookie. Hi guys, hi. Here's my little intro. Enjoy reading...

I'm here for Hana Yori Dango

Update 4/4/08: Firstly, my apologies for the crazy ramblings you see below. I got a smidge carried away, however I can't bear (yes, that is how you spell it, not bare) to delete it. I am a hoarder :) I decided that I will endeavor to actually write some stories to let off some creative steam this year, instead of just reading and reviewing. Hopefully it is adequet. They will probably all be short stories/oneshots. I'm not that ambitious-I don't think I have the patience for it, though wakarimasen.

I am/was a 'reader' type when I was young:

-Deltora Quest -Tamora Pierce-Artemis Fowl-Star Wars (Jedi Apprentice)-Emily Rodda's Rowan of Rin series-and many, many more

I'm 17 years old, (almost 18!) and not afraid to admit I'm in the same group as 95 my peers: I care what other people think of me. It's true.

It's shameful, I know: 'be true to yourself...blah blah blah' but if you went to the same all-girls school I go to, and started openly spouting your love for manga, sci-fi and fantasy, you would be social disease. But I wear my heart on my sleeve, but not my interests. And I'm okay with that.

I believe in making informed decisions

I believe religion should be a personal interpretation, whether it be which religion, or how you choose to follow/show your faith. But as long as it doesn't affect anyone else's belief system or livelyhood.

I believe people all have different learning styles-its not just the case of your smart, or your not smart (believe me, i'm labelled 'smart' and its true, you stilll respond better to one way of way or another. It sucks if your way is not provided by the education system, which has to have one simple way to teach that conforms to the majority of students.

You should read, if you identify with me or my taste at all:

The Giver By Lois Lowry

B L A C K O U T by Micheal Pryor

Different taste, but which I read personally, but you probably shouldn't unless it appeals to you, for lighter or girly reading (whatever tickle you fancy at the time) I read: Pride and Predjudice/Jane Austen works, Meg Cabot works, The Hobbit or LOTR, The curious incident of the Dog in the Nighttime (genius-but again, personal favourite) and the occasional Sweet Valley High book (what? its a pastime I can't seem to stop revert to)

Past Favourites, more 'girly' orientated I guess, are:
Isobelle Carmody: Scatterlings to get you into it, then Alyzon Whitestarr. But not the more well known Obertywn series cause to me its long and seems boring.
Replica Series By Matylin Kaye probably for younger readers. aka 12-14?

Favourite Author (cos she's my friend): (woops screen name unknown) But that is you Cass

My social standing comes at the price of my passions. That's how highschool is though.

"To be or not to be, you mean a lot to me-SHOWSTOPPER"- If you can identify this quote let me know (PM me) I will hugg you.
