Name: Marisa
Age: 17
Hey! I've been writing stories since I was in about 2nd grade. I'm currently trying to figure out a rough plotline for a novel I hope to write. I can come up with really good characters but what I have problems with is developing a well thought out plot. A lot of times when I write short stories I stop because I get stuck and never get back to them. But I'm passionate and dedicated to writing and I plan to keep on doing it!
I also enjoy dancing, reading, hanging out with friends, swimming, working out and watching movies. I read as much as I breathe I'd say. I am ALWAYS reading a book, I have to read even just a little bit every day. And during the summer I'm terrible cause I need to get in like 4 hours of reading or I freak out a bit.
I am very much a romantic at heart. I'm in love with being in love. Have I been in love? Yes. Am I in love right now? No. However, I am very much in like with someone.

Quotes:
Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. ~Ludwig van Beethoven
Without music life would be a mistake. ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. ~Japanese Proverb
Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order. ~Samuel Beckett
Dogs are miracles with paws. ~Attributed to Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. ~Bern Williams
My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am. ~Author Unknown
Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. ~Roger Caras
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin
Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. ~E.L. Doctorow
Any ordeal that you can survive as a human being is an improvement in your character,and usually an improvement in your life.-Viggo Mortensen
There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.-Viggo Mortensen
What´s the most especial thing about being a father? Everything.-Viggo
I have never been in a natural place and felt that was a waste of time. I never have. And it's a relief. If I'm walking around a desert or whatever, every second is worthwhile-Viggo

Harry Potter Quotes:
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.-Albus Dumbledore
After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.~Albus Dumbledore
Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love. By returning, you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed, fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say good-bye for the present.- Albus Dumbledore
Dumbledore: After all this time?
Snape: Always.
Can I have a look at Uranus, too, Lavender?-Ron
I love you, Hermione.-Ron
Well, I don't know how to break this to you, but I think they might have noticed we broke into Gringotts.-Ron
"Look...at...me..." he [Snape] whispered.
The green eyes found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, bland, and empty. The hand holding Harry thudded to the floor, and Snape moved no more.

A gaping maw stood just before her, opened wide, waiting for someone to enter. Several towering elms formed a leafy entrance, their spindly branches stretching across, forming the archway into the forest beyond, beckoning her

ladynigritude on March 14, 2008Oooh, you've seen Ben Hur?? What's it about? Last year at the end of the year when the teachers were throwing out like 20 years worth of stuff for the move to Parker, in Malo's recycle stuff there were a bunch of VHS tapes...and one of them was Ben Hur, so we took it and I have it but I still haven't gotten around to watching it.

ladynigritude on March 14, 2008Cassie:"....my bony boob"
Me: "Wait, what?!"
lol! Heh, that reminds me...the other day after school, Cassie was like "...WHOA!! I have fruit snacks!! I didn't know they were in there!" and she pulled them out of a pocket in her school jacket and I was like "...wait, where'd that just come from?" and it was a pocket by her boob and she was all "yay, fruit snacks!" and I was like "heh, your boob-warmed fruit snacks" and yeah.
Also, Cory has a gray shirt that one day when Cassie, Cory, and me were at lauren's room after her 4th hour (oh yeah, that's when we always see you!
) and Lauren was all "XD! Cory, that shirt makes your nipples really show!" and then a few seconds later she was like "...XDDDDDDDD! This kid who just walked by just gave me a funny look like '
WTF!?!'" -
