I'm 29!<br />
My b-day is April 10th.<br />
<br />
I love reading. My favorite subjects are sci-fi, steampunk, fantasy and comedy. I especially love mythology related things.<br />
<br />
I adore wings. Just about any type of them always gives me warm fuzzies to see, although dragon, bird/angelic, and dragonfly are my favorites. I also love when there are multiple pairs of each, dragonfly already having that second set. <br />
<br />
I love to draw, though I'm not very good, and I don't do it often at all anymore.<br />
I love Japanese architecture, and I especially love kimonos. <3<br />
My favorite season is Autumn. The cooler weather, the lack of bugs, and the beautiful colors make it just perfect for me.<br />
I love anime, cartoons, and graphic novels from any country.<br />
I love watching movies (both animated and live action) and playing video games, as well.<br />
I adore listening to music. I have an eclectic playlist, so it's hard to list every genre I like. Pretty much the only things I can say for sure I don't like are rap and screamo/death metal.<br />

<br />My Favorite Poems<br />
<br />
Invictus<br />
By William Ernest Henley; 1849-1903<br />
<br />
Out of the night that covers me,<br />
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,<br />
I thank whatever gods may be<br />
For my unconquerable soul.<br />
<br />
In the fell clutch of circumstance<br />
I have not winced nor cried aloud.<br />
Under the bludgeonings of chance<br />
My head is bloody, but unbowed.<br />
<br />
Beyond this place of wrath and tears<br />
Looms but the horror of the shade,<br />
And yet the menace of the years<br />
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.<br />
<br />
It matters not how strait the gate,<br />
How charged with punishments the scroll,<br />
I am the master of my fate;<br />
I am the captain of my soul.<br />
<br />
Fill A Glass With Golden Wine<br />
By William Ernest Henley<br />
<br />
Fill a glass with golden wine,<br />
And the while your lips are wet<br />
Set their perfume unto mine,<br />
And forget,<br />
Every kiss we take and give<br />
Leaves us less of life to live.<br />
<br />
Yet again! Your whim and mine<br />
In a happy while have met.<br />
All your sweets to me resign,<br />
Nor regret<br />
That we press with every breath,<br />
Sighed or singing, nearer death.<br />
<br />

Charge of the Light Brigade<br />
By Alfred Lord Tennyson; 1809-1892<br />
<br />
I<br />
Half a league, half a league, <br />
Half a league onward, <br />
All in the valley of Death <br />
Rode the six hundred. <br />
`Forward, the Light Brigade! <br />
Charge for the guns!' he said: <br />
Into the valley of Death <br />
Rode the six hundred.<br />
II <br />
`Forward, the Light Brigade!' <br />
Was there a man dismay'd? <br />
Not tho' the soldier knew <br />
Some one had blunder'd: <br />
Their's not to make reply, <br />
Their's not to reason why, <br />
Their's but to do and die: <br />
Into the valley of Death <br />
Rode the six hundred.<br />
III <br />
Cannon to right of them, <br />
Cannon to left of them, <br />
Cannon in front of them <br />
Volley'd and thunder'd; <br />
Storm'd at with shot and shell, <br />
Boldly they rode and well, <br />
Into the jaws of Death, <br />
Into the mouth of Hell <br />
Rode the six hundred.<br />
IV<br />
Flash'd all their sabres bare, <br />
Flash'd as they turn'd in air <br />
Sabring the gunners there, <br />
Charging an army, while <br />
All the world wonder'd: <br />
Plunged in the battery-smoke <br />
Right thro' the line they broke; <br />
Cossack and Russian <br />
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke <br />
Shatter'd and sunder'd. <br />
Then they rode back, but not <br />
Not the six hundred.<br />
V<br />
Cannon to right of them, <br />
Cannon to left of them, <br />
Cannon behind them <br />
Volley'd and thunder'd; <br />
Storm'd at with shot and shell, <br />
While horse and hero fell, <br />
They that had fought so well <br />
Came thro' the jaws of Death, <br />
Back from the mouth of Hell, <br />
All that was left of them, <br />
Left of six hundred.<br />
VI<br />
When can their glory fade? <br />
O the wild charge they made! <br />
All the world wonder'd. <br />
Honour the charge they made! <br />
Honour the Light Brigade, <br />
Noble six hundred!<br />
<br />
There Will Come Soft Rains (War Time)<br />
By Sara Teasdale; 1884-1933<br />
<br />
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,<br />
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;<br />
<br />
And frogs in the pools singing at night,<br />
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;<br />
<br />
Robins will wear their feathery fire,<br />
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;<br />
<br />
And not one will know of the war, not one<br />
Will care at last when it is done.<br />
<br />
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,<br />
If mankind perished utterly;<br />
<br />
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn<br />
Would scarcely know that we were gone.<br />
<br />
Thoughts<br />
By Sara Teasdale<br />
<br />
When I am all alone<br />
Envy me most,<br />
Then my thoughts flutter round me<br />
In a glimmering host;<br />
<br />
Some dressed in silver,<br />
Some dressed in white,<br />
Each like a taper<br />
Blossoming light;<br />
<br />
Most of them merry,<br />
Some of them grave,<br />
Each of them lithe<br />
As willows that wave;<br />
<br />
Some bearing violets,<br />
Some bearing bay,<br />
One with a burning rose<br />
Hidden away--<br />
<br />
When I am all alone<br />
Envy me then,<br />
For I have better friends<br />
