about a girl

"The hardest battle you are ever going to have to fight is the battle to be just you." ~Leo Buscaglia

I would describe myself as being in a state of flux. I've been places I never thought I would go, done things I never thought I would do. I've met people I couldn't live without and some that I learned to live without. I've been through disasters and caused chaos in my wake. I've been overeducated in things I never should have known at all, and taught a thing or two to those around me (whether they wanted to learn or not). I've had hope dashed and dreams come true. The possibilities of tomorrow are endless.

my words are weapons

"The hardest thing in this world is to live in it." ~Joss Whedon

“There's moments in your life that make you, that set the course of who you're gonna be. Sometimes they're little, subtle moments. Sometimes . . . they're not. I'll show you what I mean.” ~Joss Whedon

"My darling girl, when are you going to understand that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage!" ~Practical Magic

♥ "I love hearts. They are symbols for life, love and humanity." ~Ville Valo &hearrts;

George: [to Robin] "I can tell you I love you as many times as you can stand to hear it, but all it does is remind us that love is not enough." ~Life as a House

"Do they have rednecks in Shanghai?" ~Allison Fetko, on the Blade: Trinity alternate ending

"Because these moments, as beautiful as they are, are evil when they're gone." ~Ultraviolet

"Love isnt blind. Its retarded. ~Charlie on 3 and a Half Men

"Mystery is the greatest thing you can achieve, because you can literally be whatever you want to be." ~Unknown

"You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be." ~Chuck Palahniuk

"My brain isn't working now 'cause it's getting choked." ~Bam Margera

"He was hit by a Dodge . . . which I found funny and ironic." ~Dane Cook

"Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are. You'll see what I mean." ~Joss Whedon

"Our stories can set us free, Dirk thought. When we set them free." ~Francesca Lia Block, Baby Be-Bop

"In the end we all are who we are no matter now much we may appear to have changed." ~Joss Whedon

"Passion . . . it lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though unbidden, it will stir, open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us, guides us . . . passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have? . . . Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstasy of grief . . . it hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we could know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dank... without passion, we'd be truly dead." ~Joss Whedon

"He couldn't make a sentence stand up and be noticed if he put Viagra in the ink." ~Law and Order: CI

"I'm the artist type who'd rather play acoustic guitar and have a wank than hold a vacuum cleaner in his hands." ~Ville Valo

"I usually don't eat red meat, but when I hear 'Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer' I start drooling."~Ville Valo

Ville: "Tell them that it's religious."
Bam: "Excuse me, uh, you don't have shoes on, we're at like a really nice hotel, like, it's a religious matter, thank you. If it's religious, you can get away with anything."
Ville: "Exactly."
Bam: "You could flambé a cock . . ."
Ville: "Exactly."
Bam: ". . . if it's religious."
Ville: "Exactly, look at the world, yeah. (laughs)"
Bam: "What are you doing?"
Bam and Ville: "I'm flambéing a cock."
Bam: "Well, you're going to go to jail. Nah, it's religious."
~The Making of "Solitary Man"

Bam: "And Willa Walo has the biggest ash of a lifetime . . . Is this the longest ash you've ever seen in your life?"
~The Making of "The Sacrament"

"A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--he's walking on them." ~Leonard L. Levinson
