Er...well, I don't usually know what to say about myself but here's a good try:

Someone who once read my palm said, "your humour will keep you out of sorrow" and I suppose that's a good way to describe me since I'm usually the one making jokes during really inappropriate moments. That's either a really good or a really bad character trait...I haven't done the survey yet.

My unused driver's licence says I'm 24 years old, but to the world I'm 21 and if you know me really well you know I'm 12.

I love all sorts of music but I've lately been discovering that I have soft spot for swing and I don't know if that should be more embarrassing than my guilty pleassure: Spice Girls. But come on! Sinatra! Buble! Bennet! You can't deny those voices!

Um, I love rainy days, unless it floods...then not so much. I've never seen snow, and I hope my sinus, bad knee, and global warming will allow me to someday. I'm also a crazy cat lady, but I have a husband so I'm not too worried (I try not to think too much about the fact that I'm also an introvert, a hermit and love to write; those are all just coincidences.)

Well, I didn't think I was that interesting but there you go. I should stop here for now, lest you all think that I'm some sort of histrionic narcissist. Nope, only an anxious hypochondriac. (Look them up people, look them up)

"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquillity: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Millions are condemned to a stiller doom than mine, and millions are in silent revolt against their lot....Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties, and a field for their efforts, as much as their brothers do; they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow-creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves to making puddings….knitting stockings….playing on the piano….It is thoughtless to condemn them, or laugh at them, if they seek to do more or learn more than custom has pronounced necessary for their sex."

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

--Maya Angelou


"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."

-- C.S. Lewis


"A library is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of ignorance, particularly if the library is very tall and the surrounding area has been flooded."

--Lemony Snicket


"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing."

-- Neil Gaiman
