I thought it looked sort of like a trollish face, so I snapped the shot. And I figure Troll Face is pretty accurate for me :)(less)

I started writing when I was 13. I'm 34 now and still writing as often as I can.

In terms of inspiration, it usually comes out of thin air. I'm walking down the street, or surfing the internet and -- BAM! An idea strikes me.

I have writer's block fairly often. Best solution? Marijuana.(less)

Easy read, with some glaring plot holes and an episodic feeling that made me not care about the final 1/3 of the story.

1984 by George Orwell
“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever. ”
George Orwell

Jamie McGuire
“To douchebags!" he said, gesturing to Brad. "And to girls that break your heart," he bowed his head to me. His eyes lost focus. "And to the absolute fucking horror of losing your best friend because you were stupid enough to fall in love with her.”
Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

Jamie McGuire
“I know we're fucked up, alright? I'm impulsive, and hot tempered, and you get under my skin like no one else. You act like you hate me one minute, and then need me the next. I never get anything right, and I don't deserve you...but I fucking love you, Abby. I love you more than I loved anyone or anything ever. When you're around, I don't need booze, or money, or the fighting, or the one-night stands...”

“I would go through every single second of that again it it meant I still got to feel that kind of love – even for a moment.”

Try not to be too disturbed :)

Yes I saw that. I was actually planning to read it for Halloween, but got hooked on another story. I'm starting it tonight though. So I'm pretty sure that I won't be getting any sleep :) Thanks for the warning though :D
