- About me
- I am a homeschooler, a senior, and a generally confuzled person. I like reading, writing, playing piano, swimming, hiking, being with my friends and family (well, most of my family), being alone, watching TV and movies, food (particularly fried foods), and hanging out in a secluded corner of a well stocked library. Unfortunately, all the libraries I live near are pretty pathetic, so I don't do that last one very often anymore. I just got my driver's license (long story). I have moved a total of 7 times; this included 6 houses and 2 apartments.

- Favorite quotes
- "At a certain point in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by... you will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are... especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself... But I am this person. And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love."
~ Miss Dodger, Phoebe in Wonderland
“Yes, you are nosy. You're a dreadfully nosy, horribly bossy, appallingly clean old woman. Control yourself. You're victimizing us all.”
~ Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle
“Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered.”
~ Dr. Seuss
“Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind”
~ Dr. Seuss
"Men lose their birthrights for a mess of pottage only if they stop using the gifts given them by God for their betterment. By prayer. That is the first and greatest gift. Use the gift of prayer. Ask for strength of mind, and a clear vision. Then sense. Use your sense. ... Think long and well. By prayer and good thought you will conquer all enemies."
~ Richard Llewellyn, How Green Was My Valley
"Of course, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?"
~ Julie Andrews, Mary Poppins

~ Trenton Lee Stewart, The Mysterious Benedict Society
"I don't wanna die. I've never even been kissed. I've waited my whole to be kissed, and what if I miss it?"
"I tell you what. I promise to kiss you before you die."
~ Amy and Laurie, Little Women (1994)
"You can choose your friends but you sho' can't choose your family, an' they're still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge 'em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you don't."
~ Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

~ Mother Teresa
