I guess this is where I tell you a little (or a lot) about me. First, I should start off by saying I really dislike: intentional ignorance (if that makes any sense), fake/phony people, stupid humor, posers, people who think they know everything when they really know nothing, fanatic Christians (by that I mean people who get in your face and scream at you for hours about how you are going to Hell and try to scare you into believing in God, wrong way to go people), and that basically sums it up. The things I do like include: my friends, books, German and French culture, learning (yea, I'm a big geek, so what), music, traveling, movies, writing, animals, and of course there is tons more, but I am pretty sure I am starting to bore you.

On to my writing style. I have been writing ever since I was in the fourth grade. I got a poem I wrote about autumn published in a book and ever since then I have considered myself an avid writer. As you can tell if you have read any of my stuff I mostly write sad and depressing stuff about my ex-boyfriend. I wrote that stuff a really long time ago and have since "gotten over" my emotions. I have been trying to write happier stuff so that everyone doesn't think I'm some kind of sad, depressed person all the time. Actually most of the time I am pretty peppy and happy as long as I am not in one of my "I hate the world" moods. I write what I feel and what I can't express verbally. I haven't written in a while due to various circumstances. I haven't really felt inspired, and I've been uber busy. This growing up thing hasn't been the easiest thing to go through. Anways, I'm off topic. Back to writing. I am pretty sure I don't want to major in journalism anymore, but I would still love to be write as a career. I guess only time will tell about that one.

Now I will grace you with a little more about me. I am now 18 and have graduated high school. I am excited, yet scared beyond words. School will continue to take up A LOT of my time once it starts. (I told you I was a geek ). I am going to be attending UNC-Chapel Hill, where I have decided to major in Psychology and English, yea I know it's a change, but stuff happens. GO TARHEELS!!! Hehe. When I am not preparing for college I hang out with my friends, travel, or babysit. I really don't know where I would be without my friends, they are the foundation upon which I rely on, even though most of the group has been split up due to college. I guess you could say I'm just a normal teenager trying to find her way through life, you could also say I am a not-so-normal teenager trying to make the most of life. Either works for me.

Well, now you know a pretty good tidbit of information about me. Hopefully you find me interesting and will read some of my stuff. However, if you don't, there are no hard feelings. You can't like everyone all the time.

*This Used To Be My Playground*

This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say

Don't look back
Keep your head held high
Don't ask them why
Because life is short
And before you know
You're feeling old
And your heart is breaking
Don't hold on to the past
Well that's too much to ask

This used to be my playground
This used to be my childhood dream
This used to be the place I ran to
Whenever I was in need
Of a friend
Why did it have to end
And why do they always say

No regrets
But I wish that you
Were here with me
Well then there's hope yet
I can see your face
In our secret place
You're not just a memory
Say goodbye to yesterday
Those are words I'll never say

This used to be my playground
This used to be our pride and joy
This used to be the place we ran to
That no one in the world could dare destroy

This used to be our playground
This used to be our childhood dream
This used to be the place we ran to
I wish you were standing here with me








You ask me why I do not write something...I think one's feelings waste themeselves in words, they ought all to be distilled into actions and into actions which bring results.
--Florence Nightingale

Now I will offer you my thoughts on this quote. I think this is an amazing quote and by saying that I know I am putting myself, along with countless others, down. However, that does not take away from the truth of the quote. Even though we might write something down, it usually only helps us to get over it, but if we transform our feelings into action we can change things. However, I do believe that writing is action and that writing can inspire change. Yet, the saying actions speak louder than words is a universal truth. Even though I am a writer and love writing and want to continue writing for as long as I can, I also want to be a person that takes action and changes the world through my actions.
