Hmmm...Well, you are here and I suppose it would be my hostly duty to tell a bit more--ah, so much I could tell and so little I can. Stupid online predators ruin potential friendships and such. First and foremost, I am a Christian. Thus, I neither conduct inappropriate behavior nor tolerate it; I would hope you would follow suit. Below is a sketchy profile of myself:

I am not allowed to give any information about myself. My mom watches too much Dateline.

I used to be on here as "elfinfatuation", but changed it to "Skopos," the Greek term for "mark" or "goal." It is my own little reminder that everyone should be aiming at the goal of reaching others through Christ, and pressing toward a personal mark of a trusting relationship with Christ. In all honesty, though, it was because someone accused me of being a future Sue-fic writer...which I am not; refer to my dislikes below.

Age- 15

Location-U.S. That's all you need to know--refer to the above statement. I also spend a good deal of time gallivanting through Narnia.

“Nice of you to remember us.” Merry said almost cheerfully. “You are SO lucky you weren’t captured along with us because we would tell the Uruk-hai that you are a spy from Rivendell, and since you aren’t a hobbit, they can most definitely eat you.

“I can't do this Sam.” “I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.” “What are we holding on to Sam?” “That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.” -- Sam to Frodo, at Osgiliath

(While watching FotR, Balrog scene) Mom: "Why are they carrying the short people?"

Me: "They are called hobbits, Mom. HOBBITS! They are short and fat, prone to singing and drinking, have hairy feet and don't like to wear shoes! Kinda like you..." I was only spared by the rampageous laughter of my sister, calling to attention her lack of...well...inhalation. But my mom doesn't really drink, luckily. It's just fun to be mischievous from time to time. :)

Cafeteria food- the pudding is impenetrable, the pizza looks more like roadkill than something you would actually eat, and the tacos jiggle...gross concisely fits it.
