Okay, if you summed me up in three words, they would probably be bisexual nerd poet. But I don't like limiting myself, so let's put it this way: I'm seventeen, optimistic, and I fall in love with everyone, because all people are beautiful. I'm such an Anglophile it's almost laughable. I'm a Whovian, an otaku, and Legend of Zelda addict. Arthurian legend is the bomb. Oh, and I write all the time. I can't stop writing, mostly poetry, but bits and pieces of everything else. I absolutely adore linguistics. "He told me and, on the instant, it was as though someone had switched off the wireless, and a voice that had been bawling in my ears, incessantly, fatuously, for days beyond number, had been suddenly cut short; an immense silence followed, empty at first, but gradually, as my outraged sense regained authority, full of a multitude of sweet and natural and long-forgotten sounds – for he had spoken a name that was so familiar to me, a conjuror's name of such ancient power, that, at its mere sound, the phantoms of those haunted late years began to take flight." --Evelyn Waugh, 'Brideshead Revisited'

This woman is a genius! :D Her music makes my day!
“Life” (Original)
Do you ever feel like you’re alone.
in a crowded house but no one’s home?
Ever feel like nothing matters,
no one cares?
Standing in a crowd when no one’s there?
Keep hold of everything you dream,
some moments in life are not always what they seem.
Just know in your heart somehow someday,
you won’t give up until you find a way.
‘Cause life is an everlasting road,
and you can decide which way you wanna go.
You have to look within your heart,
find the light lost in the dark.
Sometimes the answer isn’t far,
To find out who you are. X2
Close your eyes and trust in fate,
got to stop thinking that you’re too late.
Wish with all your might and you will see,
there’s a million possibilities.
Although the journey feels so long,
You found the strength to keep holding on.
The path you’ve chosen brings you near,
To a day so bright and clear.
‘Cause life is an everlasting road,
and you can decide which way you wanna go.
You have to look within your heart,
find the light lost in the dark.
Sometimes the answer isn’t far,
To find out who you are. X2
You found a place so right,
watch your dreams as they take flight.
And now that you have grown,
you’ve found that we’re no longer alone.
Repeat Chorus.

For some reason, the personality of the 2nd Dr., reminds me a lot of the 11th at times…maybe it’s just me…

Peace on Earth (or Whichever Planet You Happen To Land On)
We’ve put up a new billboard in the Meatpacking District of NYC.
In case The Doctor visits New York City again.
You know, the one without the time paradox.

‘Shall we get really drunk tonight?’ ‘It’s the one time it could do no conceivable harm,’ I said. ‘Contra mundum?’ ‘Contra mundum.’ ‘Bless you, Charles. There aren’t many evenings left to us.’

Brideshead Inspired:
So here it is the poem I wrote after being inspired by the reckless behaviour of one Mr. Sebastian Flyte and the rather romantic ventures of Mr. Charles Ryder in the movie Brideshead Revisited.

Question: Using only lipstick names observed at CVS, how accurately can I outline the plot of Brideshead Revisited?
