Hey to everyone out there that has somehow stumbled upon my page! My name is Shantell Johnson, I am 22 years old and live in a shit hole that the rest of the world calls Enid Oklahoma. I hope that you all enjoy what I have written here, it may not be the greatest but it is all real! If you want to talk just send me a message, I'll get back to you!
As for music...well number one on my list is and always will be Oasis! Here are a few of my favorites.

~SUPERSONIC~

I NEED TO BE MYSELF
I CAN'T BE NO ONE ELSE
I'M FEELING SUPERSONIC
GIVE ME GIN AND TONIC
YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL BUT HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT IT?
YOU MAKE ME LAUGH
GIVE ME YOU AUTOGRAPH
CAN I RIDE WITH YOU IN YOU BMW?
YOU CAN SAIL WITH ME IN MY YELLOW SUBMARINE

YOU NEED TO FIND OUT
'COS NO ONES GONNA TELL YOU WHAT I'M ON ABOUT
YOU NEED TO FIND A WAY FOR WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY
BUT BEFORE TOMORROW

'COS MY FRIENDS SAID HE'S TAKE YOU HOME
HE SITS IN A CONER ALL ALONE
HE LIVES UNDER A WATERFALL
NOBODY CAN SEE HIM
NOBODY COULD EVER HEAR HIM CALL

YOU NEED TO BE YOURSELF
YOU CAN'T BE NO ONE ELSE
I KNOW A GIRL CALLED ELSA
SHE'S INTO ALKA SELTZER
SHE SNIFFS IT THROUGH A CANE ON A SUPERSONIC TRAIN

SHE MADE ME LAUGH
I GOT HER AUTOGRAPH
SHE DONE IT WITH A DOCTOR ON A HELICOPTER
SHE'S SNIFFEN IN HER TISSUE
SELLEN' THE BIG ISSUE

WHEN SHE FINDS OUT
NO ONE'S GONNA TELL HER WHAT I'M ON ABOUT
SHE NEEDS TO FIND A WAY FOR WHAT SHE WANTS TO SAY
BUT BEFORE TOMORROW.


~ACQUIESCE~

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS
THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WAKE
THE THINGS THAT SLEEP INSIDE
I ONLY WANNA SEE THE LIGHT
THAT SHINES BEHIND YOUR EYES

I HOPE THAT I CAN SAY
THE THINGS I WISH I'D SAID
SO SING MY SOUL TO SLEEP
AND TAKE ME BACK TO BED
WHO WANTS TO BE ALONE
WHEN WE COULD BE ALIVE INSTEAD?

BECASUE WE NEED EACH OTHER
WE BELIEVE IN ONE ANOTHER
(AND) I KNOW WERE GOING TO UNCOVER
WHAT'S SLEEPING IN OUR SOUL

THARE ARE MANY THINGS
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
AND THERE ARE MANY PLACES
THAT I WISH TO GO
BUT EVERYTHING'S DEPENDING
ON THE WAY THE WIND MAY BLOW
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS
THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WAKE
THE THINGS THAT SLEEP INSIDE
I ONLY WANNA SEE THE LIGHT
THAT SHINESE BEHIND YOUR EYES.

~*WONDERWALL*~

TODAY WAS GONNA BE THE DAY
THAT THEY WERE GONNA THROW IT BACK TO YOU
BY NOW YOU SHOULD'VE SOMEHOW
REALISED WHAT YOU GOTTA DO
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYBODY
FEELS THE WAY I DO ABOUT YOU NOW

BACKBEAT THE WORD IS ON THE STREET
THAT THE FIRE IN YOUR HEART IS OUT
I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE
BUT YOU NEVER REALLY HAD A DOUBT
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYBODY FEELS
THE WAY I DO ABOUT YOU NOW

AND ALL THE ROADS WE HAVE TO WALK ARE WINDING
AND ALL THE LIGHTS THAT LEAD US THERE ARE BLINDING
THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT I WOULD
LIKE TO SAY TO YOU
I DON'T KNOW HOW

MAYBE
YOU'RE GONNA BE THE ONE THAT SAVES ME?
AND AFTER ALL
YOUR'RE MY WONDERWALL

Then from there I would say Korn, Marylin Manson, Nine Inch Nails, and well that list could go on and on and on and on and...lol you get the point.

Hmmm...What is could I tell you about? I have been writing for years, it helps me in so many ways. Like i said before everything that I have written here is real, from first hand experience...it took me awhile to begin posting here because I am not big on sharing my personal life with strangers, a good friend (CentredDarkness, if you haven't read any of his stuff you should really check it out, he is a mastermind when it comes to writing) of mine told me that he did it. Alot of those strangers soon became friends, helping me with there words of wisdom.

Okay well, if you are still reading this then you must really have nothing better to, so like I said check out my stuff and let me know what you think!
