Never been rich but I been poor...

About Me

"I can paint a picture with a pen/ But a song will only scratch the skin/ And there are still places I haven't been/ Because I know what's in there/ Is already in the air/ There's truth in the thunder/ Love in the lightning/ The feeling is frightening/ But isn't it exciting/ I'm something like stormy weather/ If I weren't we'd never/ Huddle together/ Do I have to tell ya/ That I'm also the sunlight/ That shines shortly after/ I just rain 'cause I have to/ On to other chapter/ I wish you lots of laughter/ Till the next time you see me/ Just remember you need me/ I'm the storm coming" -Gnarls Barkley

I'm a certifiable...

LUSH
Bathed in scripted intoxication
My obsession has surpassed perception
As I seek the equivalent of ink's titration.
Overindulgence is my sin...
Is this not the epitome
Of lust's hazardous acidity?
Still I digress
Where pain merges with ecstasy
On the id's plateau of a poetess...

Your element is Light: Innocent, beautiful,
kind-hearted and pure. You are so sweet your
almost angelic! You find joy in others
happiness and cannot stand to see anyone in
pain. You want to make everyone around you
feel good about themselves and if someone is
upset you can tend to become rather upset as
well which means you are sympathetic and
raise others above yourself. Being as kind
and good-natured as you are people have most
likely hurt you in the past but you pick
yourself up every time. You may look fragile
but you are stronger then most tend to see.
Life is beautiful no matter how you look at
it and you understand that people make
mistakes. Not everyone is perfect. You try to
see the good in the bad which is a talent few
posses. Dont ever let anyone change you. You
truly have a beautiful soul inside and a
heart of gold.

Which member of the JLA are you?
Green Lantern
With the Green Lantern corps destroyed the last Oa power ring made it's way to Earth to the unsupecting artist Kyle Rayner. Able to create anything his mind imagines the ring lacks the weakness to the color yellow and the 24 hour time limit which makes Kyle the one true Green Lantern.
