Hello all!

I'm an American (born in Little Town Nowhere) but I've been living in England for years (British Citizenship, baby!). I'm in my early 20s, short, round, brunette and bespectacled. Normally you'll find me on the computer surfing the net or writing a story. If I'm not on the computer I'm probably dead you'll find me reading a book or laughing with friends.

I hope to work in children's publishing someday and generally stay behind a book for the rest of my life. :D I go to a British university and am taking English Lit as a major with Creative Writing as a minor. It's all hard work which is why my journal is somewhat erratic regarding the frequency of my posts. I hope this will change when I graduate in July '09.

This journal is mostly the random musings of me, myself and I. I talk about everything from books, films, religion, writing, university, friends and even my hopes for The Future... *shudders at the latter - does not want to grow up* I do write fanfiction as often as I can but I keep that at a different journal: thewordtree. Feel free to friend that journal instead of this one if you just want to read my work. :)

And speaking of friending... My journal used to be completely open to anyone who wanted a look but this summer I f-locked it for practical reasons. So now it's about 75% friends only posts. But please friend away. :D I'm a social person so am open to making lots of new friends (though I'd ask if you do wish to friend me, let me know why).

Hope to see some of you round my journal in future!



I am not yours

I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.

You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.

Oh plunge me deep in love - put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

- Sara Teasdale
