If you had to choose one of the following, what would represent you?

Lets open this up a bit more, shall we?

If you had to choose ONE of the following, what would represent you?

Either a...
1. Book - what book?
2. Movie - what movie? What character?
3. Author - which author? What work?
4. Poem - what poem?
5. Quote - what quote?
6. Song - what song? What are the lyrics?

For me? I think Emily D.ckinson summed up my essence of life in her poem:

IF I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.



Course, this one is me too.... "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."

Jack London

Ok, maybe TWO things to sum you up!

1. Book- (well books really) The Twilight Saga Series

Why?- Because I'm just an ordinary "Bella" waiting for something exciting to happen.


2. Movie- (movies again hehe) Harry Potter Series

Character- Hermione

Why?- Because I'm that smart girl that doesn't get noticed til' I grow up (when being intelligent is most important). Plus ---> I like to believe in the practical side of life.

Cool, hardgirl and nohelp! Hopelessly, i've got none... i don't usually read, (just started!) and anyways never found one which kinda represent me... The movies, i watch them but never considered one that here again 'represented' me. It's even hopeless for the authors, poems, song and quote. Perhaps i'll found mine later... but until then... well.

Don't worry Unky,

You'll find your representation by something one day!

Just read books or watch movies that you can relate to.

You know, something that has happened in your life...

That is written about or acted out...yep

I'll just stop talking now...haha okay bye!

Oh, and Good Luck buddie!

Movie - Star wars
Character - Luke Skywalker, i feel a greater sense of my self, but i keep quetioning it. (no i don't mean i have specail abilities or i'm more than others, but rather the same as every body else. As far as capabilities are.)

Quote - “Do or do not... there is no try.” (on account that trying is doing, so long as you never give up!)
- “[Luke:] I can’t believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail.” (in other words, anything ispossible.)

Song - Battle of evermore by Led Zepplin

Lyrics - Queen of light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The prince of peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morn - ing light.
The dark lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses thunder
Down in the valley blow,
Im waiting for the angels of avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold,
The seas of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Oh,-------dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, the tyrants face is red.
Oh the war is common cry, pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow,
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the mornin light.
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back, bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes.

(a seemingly never ending feud, between my brain, and my mind.)

Yes, yes my precious, haha just kidding. This song has a lot to do with Lord of the rings, before the movies.

Great descriptions, guys! I love it!

My favorite "I wish someone would describe me as this" is from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice.... it is how Lorenzo describes Jessica....

"Beshrew me but I love her heartily,
For she is wise, if I can judge of her,
And fair she is, if that mine eyes be true,
And true she is, as she hath proved herself;
And therefore, like herself, wise, fair, and true,
Shall she be placed in my constant soul."
