"Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we're quoting."


Because I grew tired of bookmarking stories I liked to a file on my computer.


I will eventually write, because that is what I do, just as surely as an addict craves his next release or the cycle of the tides. I will take someone else's precious characters and make them dance across the screen to the tunes inside my mind and then I will return them, no less damaged or changed from the experience. But I do not wish to change them; rather, I think they change me.


1. I'm a female and a feminist, and I like to consider myself open-minded but it's something I strive for everyday.

2. I do my best thinking at 4 in the morning.

3. Few would call me nice but many would call me kind, and I believe that is preferable.

4. The curse of my life is to passionately ship slash pairings hinted at in the work but with little chance of becoming canon.

5. Sass is my weapon of choice. Don't take offense (unless I was aiming to offend), mostly I just consider my snarky comments too funny to not share with the world.

6. I'm a Ravenclaw, but my friends' word of choice to describe me is ambitious, and I'm not sure what to make of that.

7. I get book cravings like some people get food cravings, which explains why I could never throw any book away, because what if the next time I need to read that one specific book, it's the one I just tossed?

8. I'm not sure if it's possible to suffer from egotism and self-deprecation at the same time, but I consider them to be two of my flaws.


"It's strange that words are so inadequate. Yet, like the asthmatic struggling for breath, so the lover must struggle for words."
