So you actually took the time to read my profile. Well I hope you are not disappointed.

My name is Angelena and I am currently 21 years of age. I am in my senior year of college and I love to write!

I first started obtaining an interest in writing in the eighth grade and have been doing so ever since. My ambition in life is to be a writer but, sadly, becoming a bestselling author takes a lot of time and patience (and money!) so I am planning on becoming a pharmacist just in case my writing career does not take off.

I want to become a writer because, when I'm writing, I feel as if I'm creating a world that only I have control over and only I can change the plot and morph the characters to what I want them to be. I carry my writing journal everywhere I go just in case I get an idea when I'm at school or my grandmother's house or even the mall. I swear, every spare moment during my classes at school, I am writing in that notebook and I can just tell all of classmates are thinking the same exact thing: There she goes again. Writing away again. Only my friends know what I write about but occasionally I will tell others if they happen to ask me just to quench their growing curiosity.

TV shows: GLEE!, Bones, Project Runway, What Not to Wear, Bridezillas, Wizards of Waverly Place, Greek, Make It Or Break It, and So You Think You Can Dance (so much better then American Idol), Fringe, Secret Life of the American Teenager, True Blood, and Roswell.

Favorite movies: Walk the Line, Harry Potter, Titanic, The Notebook, Cold Mountain, Mean Girls, Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, Dumb and Dumber, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Sleepy Hollow, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl, P.S. I Love You, The Devil Wears Prada, Princess Diaries, Another Cinderella Story, Lord of the Rings, Wedding Crashers, The Family Stone, 27 Dresses, Penelope, Schindler's List, Meet the Parents, There's Something About Mary, Blood Diamond, The Departed, Bad News Bears, Fired Up!, Full Ride and a whole bunch more I can't think of right now.

I also love love love scary movies! Most people that know me are surprised when they learn that about me because I'm really shy and quiet and people just don't see me sitting in a dark room watching psychological thrillers in my spare time.

Musical artists: Edwin McCain, Jason Mraz, Lady Gaga, Evanescence, Within Temptation, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Brad Paisley, Pussycat Dolls, Anna Nalick, Gloriana, Plain White T's, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, Michael Buble, Sugarcult, Fall Out Boy, The Veronicas, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, Elliott Yamin, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and a bunch more. Like I said, all over the place.

Favorite Books: Pride and Prejuduce by Jane Austen, Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling (DUH!), Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, Hacking Harvard by Robin Wasserman, Just Listen by Sarah Dessen, The Luxe Series by Anna Godberson, The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare and a lot more. OH! And Mary Higgins Clark.

Favorite Quotes:

"This either madness...or brilliance." "It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." --Will Turner and Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl.

It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing. -- Boromir in Lord of the Rings.

Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.--Galadriel (Lord of the Rings)

Fool of a Tuck! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity.--Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)

If you love someone tell them. Broken hearts are often caused by unspoken words.

Jack Sparrow: Well, yes, mate. See, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones that you have to watch out for because you never know when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid.

There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn to know the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying. --Just Listen by Sarah Dessen

What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. --Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Sawyer: Why are we listening to Arzt?

Arzt: Because I'm a doctor and you're a hill billy.

Sawyer: You're a damn high school science teacher.

Hurley: (About Sawyer w/ glasses) Dude, looks like somebody steam-rolled Harry Potter.

In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. --Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice

Power is having every justification to kill and you don't. --Oskar Schindler (Schindler's List)

Well behaved women don’t make history. –Marilyn Monroe

I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday
I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the Realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised.
The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the woman who died when the EMT stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my 'kind.'
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love. I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.
I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson"

--IF YOU BELIEVE THAT HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG... REPOST THIS--

Although I myself am not homosexual I hate it when people ridicule others who are. Stop homophobia!
