My Life
* I love how a good book smells, and how reading one becomes forever linked to a specific time in your life - where just the thought of it can bring back a thousand memories.
* I like to daydream about entering my favorite novel and helping out because I know what's going to happen next.
* I'm a stargazer and a moonwatcher.
* A singer of karaoke, and a pole dancer of rock.
* The word "beathe" is my favorite, and yet I think that hands express more than what lips do.
* I'm a writer of stories where my imagination can run wild and free.
* There's always a song playing in my head - it's the soundtrack to my life.
* I'm a youthful one. I'd rather see the world through a child's eyes.
* There's meaning to be found in everything.
* My favorite color is RED, yet earth tones suit me best.
* I'm addicted to the 16th century.
* Skeleton keys are treasures just waiting to unlock a hidden door that may lead to a land far away from here.
* Cherry blossoms are my favorite flower next to the red rose and the blue orchid.
* I adore the Japanese culture.
* I love watching the leaves bud in the Spring, and when they fall to the earth in Autumn.
* The nicknames, Rei and Bella, are poignant reminders of my favorite moments in life.
* I'm a drawer of "Intricate Thoughts" and a dreamer forever.
* I cling to my memories because they're as precious to me as breathing.

Japan & Cherry Blossoms
"Shinto, an ancient religious tradition, has been the indigenous religion of Japan, and it has idealized the clean and pristine beauty of the cherry blossom."

Books"Words-so innocent and powerless they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them."

"In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons and the forces of darkness...She is the Slayer."
"I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe until you're resting here with me. And I won't leave, I can't hide, I cannot be until you're resting here with me."
"Although unaware of it now, these individuals will not only save the world, but change it forever. This transformation from ordinary to extraordinary will not occur overnight..."
"I'll stand upon the ocean
just to show you that I am strong, but what if i am wrong? If a familiar look, if a familiar smile, makes it so hard to make a choice...I don't know if i should stay...away."
