information
Hihi~ This is my sixteenth layout for this journal, featuring Scheric Troy, Ashe Lefouer, and Inari Ishikawa from my and Steph's webcomic, Atrophy, and the song "Donna and Blitzen" by the band Badly Drawn Boy, off the Maybe This Christmas Too CD. The HTML was done by Nicocole, who is awesome (thank you so much!) and edited by Steph to work with this layout. It was designed for an 1024x768 resolution, and I have nooooo idea how it looks in anything else o_o.
There isn't that much to say about me. I like anime/manga, videogames (RPGs especially), music, and writing & reading fantasy. I also play World of Warcraft. I play on the server Bronzebeard and have a level 80 Night Elf warrior and a level 80 Night Elf priest in the guild Daughters of the Alliance and a level 80 Blood Elf paladin in Daughters of the Horde on the same server.
The majority of my posts are friends-only, so what you see on my recent entries page is not a good example of what I actually write on my journal. Some of my entries can be really long, and I know a lot of people don't like that, so keep that in mind. You can look at entries from a couple of years ago if you'd like to get an idea of how long my posts can be, though I am a pretty different person now. ;)

quotes:
"God's not too interested in me. He's too busy watching the sparrows fall." - The Girl on the Rooftop, The Losers by David Eddings)
"Give your enemy a face. If he is human, do not dehumanize him. Know him and know why he is your enemy. If your enemy is within you, understand what it is and why you are afraid. Put a face on your fear. When you understand it, and it is no longer vague and shapeless, you will find that your fear is no longer so formidable." - Master Odo, Brightly Burning by Mercedes Lackey
"You always have a choice. Don't ever imagine you don't. Whatever you do, it's a decision and you have to accept responsibility for it. That's when honor becomes more than empty words." - Seregil, Stalking Darkness by Lynn Flewelling
"Does it alarm you that we have no fear? The things that should scare us we've been watching for years." - "Pieces" by Virgos Merlot

layout:
This layout was drawn and made by Steph, who I thank very very very very very very much T____T *flails* The images are from our webcomic, Atrophy. The lyrics Steph borrowed from for the image are displayed in full below.
My friends page layout is just old. And the images have been broken forever. But it's supposed to be of Before I Go, whom you should listen to because they're awesome. They released a new EP on the 20th of February (2004), so go listen to it, dammit. :O

[lyrics]
Pay for the light
But you may still slide
Baby it's not your sleigh ride
But this year is ours
Maybe tommorow
We're gonna see
Things we'd never believe
I'll make you want me you'll see
The initial warning is free
But only two reindeer
Oh what a sight as they take their first flight
Oh darling it's all in time
And I will, I will, I will...
I will.....wait their return
Or make to the sky
Oh what a sight beautiful
And I will
I will, I will, I will...
I will sleep tonight
I will sleep tonight
