Previous name: Andrew-T-H


I'm no good at writing these self-explanatory paragraphs about myself. I don't know, it feels like bragging. Should I use chat speak? should I try to sound educated? funny? I don't know; it's not easy. I guess I could start with saying (typing) my name, but that would be kinda dumb, because it's already up there in the corner... I could say "hi," but who am I saying "hi" to? You? Who are you? I don't know, you're a perfect stranger. Why would I say "hi" to a stranger? It'd be like walking into a Walmart and actually paying attention to the guy who says "hello, welcome to Walmart!" --> "Hi, my name's Andrew" --> and so on. A totally awkward situation... So, anyways, sorry for blathering on and on in this odd paragraph that has seemed to jump from idea to idea...kinda like a mountain biker who just landed a sick trick from one hill to another...

"Hi, welcome to Walma--erm--my page."

My Favorite Quotes:


"Dream like you'll live forever, live like you'll die today" -James Dean-

"Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt." -Mark Twain-

"Some people are like slinkys: not really good for anything, but it's still fun to watch them tumble down the stairs." -A different friend-

"One time, when I was feeling absolutely horrible, completely depressed, I prayed to God, asking desperately for some kind of sign. What happened after that completely broke me down. I started flipping through my iPod playlist and randomly landed on three songs: "I'll Take You Back" by Jeremy Camp, "Someday" by the band Nickelback, and "All At Once" by the band The Fray. Putting them together results in a sentence that I'll never forget. "I'll take you back someday, all at once." I cried then." -myself-

"Silence the mind of the writer. It's too emotional." -myself-

"Nosce Te Ipsum" ~ Latin for "Know Thy Self"

"Even in solitude, you can't be left alone." -myself-

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night." -Edgar Allan Poe-

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch of a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." -Ralph Waldo Emerson-

Christopher Paolini, as well as Edgar Allan Poe, inspired me to begin writing. After discovering how young Paolini was when he began writing his Inheritance Trilogy (now a series of four books--one last to be written), I decided to give writing a try myself. And thus, here I am... trying and trying.
