我爱我的双胞胎姐妹。 ;D

"Mr. Madison, what you?ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." "Okay, a simple 'fail' would?ve done just fine."

"You are just a paranoid troll with a fuse the length of a mouse?s wang. You may continue to troll, but know that I retain the justified right to turn off my hearing in your direction any moment, and I believe that others have that right as well."

"My dance style is basically clumsy freestyle intepretive salsa-loving sugar plum fairy on crack."

"Kareniet learned how a child knows not of dangers of vacuuming and cried, 'Thou craven folly-fallen flap-dragon!'"

"The military would not let her talk either, what with spawning Seth the Weapon of Mass Defecation."

"Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved."

"Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart. And they both take practice."

"Heads are what hold brains and smiles, so they're all that really matter in the end anyway."

"Yes, I am jealous of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." ;D

"I want to grill burgers with the flames he makes when he lights his farts."

"My mom says all the cool people knit while they DDR."

"We need to invent a machine that can juice the juices out of a brain."

"See what I mean about being on a roll?" "I've never known you to be so buttery."

Ash's Entry

Here we are - my entry:

It's quite dark because there are times where I feel really dark inside (though usually lighten up quickly) and I put the words 'Phantom' and those particular POTO lyrics because, well, that's how I feel (again, I lighten up, but it's reuccuring all the time, so it's a big part of me - and I'm OK with that). I put Erik and Christine because I love them and I put Gerard because it's Gerard ( ;D ) and I like guys who look good in suits. And Harry, because - it's Harry Potter ;D As for the sword, it represents that I can fight, but also that I will protect others.

Angie's Entry

(Okay, I'm entering, and I'm currently working on my entry, so I'll just post here already and edit my post as I go.)

The writing:

The most obvious reason for the writing is that I am a writer. I have strong emotions and do my best to work through them, and when needed, to convey them.

I made it on old, parchment-like paper because, and this sounds really cheesy, but I feel like an old soul. I think and ponder a lot, and I don't fit in with the younger crowd, and I rarely feel I fit in with anybody in these times. I think I would have done better as a radical a few centuries ago.

The writing is sloppy and smudged because I am a very distracted person. If my mind isn't totally focused on something, I always get it done, but I don't always do a great job at it. This also demonstrates how far from perfect I am. And what's sad is that this is my actual handwriting, except I was trying to write a little smaller than usual (not much).

Snape:

I think that if I were a student at Hogwarts, I would be in Ravenclaw or Slytherin, but I have more in common with Snape than Professor Flitwick.

I am serious, ambitious, and good in school. I have never had many good friends, and some people have been just plain cruel to me in the past, which results in my sometimes bitter manner. But underneath, I can be an asset to anyone in need of knowledge, ambition, or moderate cleverness. I can also make a smart remark to get out of or respond to almost anything.

Edward Scissorhands:

He represents the typical psychology of a teen in that he is a "representation of teenage isolation. The 'freakish' appearance. . . is a. . . metaphor for a troubled teen in adolescence. The scissorhands themselves could be a visual metaphor for feeling unable to communicate love - or the desire to know it - to those around you." All teens feel this way sometimes, and he is very easy to relate to, no matter how much the movie is made fun of.

I also added the picture because Johnny Depp played him. I hold great respect for such a fantastic actor, as it is such a rarity. He can make you feel how his character feels with what seems to be no effort, and that is the kind of talent I wish to hold some percentage of someday with my writing.

Lyrics:

If you don't know, they are from the song "Imaginary" by Evanescence. The reason I put an excerpt from them is because I feel that way sometimes, and it is the song by them that I have always related to the most. Oddly enough, this is my happy part of the banner, other than my writing, of course.

My name font:

Goes back to the old soul thing partially.

I like to feel comfortable, but occasional elegance is nice.

Coloring:

It is 60% black and white (meaning that's how much color I took out) because sometimes I feel isolated, and when I go into a depression, I tend to feel slightly bleak. However, if you will notice, I put color around one word, which is sort of a light at the end of the tunnel for me; when I'm in a depression, all I can hope for is inner peace, and I leave the depression when I find it.
