the Brightest Little Firefly in the Jar
I'm a literature lover, an english major, and I have a secret and unfulfilled love for science (Bio and Physics). I'm either going to be a rock star or a librarian, I haven't quite decided yet.
Things in my Life (In no Particular Order):
"Beauties in vain their pretty Eyes may roll;
Charms strike the Sight, but Merit wins the Soul."
-Alexander Pope, The Rape of the Lock"Not all students are this unfocused in their attempts to graduate however, and Ashley Martin is one of them. Deep inside a pretty face and far away from the predictable reality of this boring place comes an alluring smile. Her hair is ablaze in a crimson flash of resplendent azure; a perfect compliment to her quiet eyes, thoughtful and sad, attentive and consuming. Her clothes, her look, and the way she holds herself keeps self-respectfully true to Kerouac's opinion that great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion. She stands as a pleasant reminder that there is still hope for our youth, and the end is in fact not as near as some like to believe. She can move mountains with her smile and topple skyscrapers with her laugh. She has a lot to offer this world and the only time will see if the rest of us are truly ready." -Jesse Campbell, "Alternate realities on Eastern's campus." December 11, 2006
"We have a secretary, Ashley. she uses a left handed notebook but she is in fact right handed. Welcome."
- Andrew Stevens/Lyceum 2007
"I guess I should have expected civil disobedience from you."
- Aaron Harris on me fighting the oppressive system in a mock-society learning expirience.
