`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'

I write what I feel, whether I'm angry, sad, depressed or rapturously in love, I try to write about it.  Most of the time I read other people's work or I see something and I write a response or I try to mimic styles or subject matter.  

I'm a pretty average teenager, I LOVE theatre, I'm an actress, dancer, avid bookworm, aspiring playwright, singer, and a chocaholic!

I listen to basically any type of music, except rap and country.  My favorite performers / groups are Simon and Garfunkel, Nat King Cole, The Rolling Stones, James Taylor, The Bravery, Yellowcard, Neil Diamond, The Beatles, Green Day, Frank Sinatra, Aerosmith, Dean Martin, Lola Ray, Louie Armstrong, Benjamin Pratt, Natalie Cole, Future Leaders of the World, Enya, Sublime and Jet.  I love movie soundtracks as well, Sleepless in Seattle, Mask of Zorro, Finding Neverland, My Best Friends Wedding, Edward Scissorhands, You've Got Mail, Phantom of the Opera, The Godfather Trilogy, Uptown Girls, Benny and Joon, Chicago and The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I'm a huge Johnny Depp fan, and I apologize to the guys for this, so you can skip this paragraph.  My favorite movies by him are Edward Scissorhands, Blow, and Benny and Joon. Charlie and The Chocolate Factory was AMAZING!! If you haven't gone to see it, GO SEE IT!

My favorite romance book of all time is "Gone With the Wind," "Pride and Prejudice" running a close second.  My favorite books of all time are "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and all the books dealing with them!  I LOVE "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" and I ADORE "Wuthering Heights," "Jane Eyre," "Sense and Sensibility," and "Emma."  I'm a big romantic novel fan, although I recently read "The Sirens of Titan" by Kurt Vonnegut.  Good stuff.  I also love "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," though I haven't yet seen the movie.

"Hand In My Pocket"
Alanis Morissette


I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the peace sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chickenshit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
And what it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
