10 of my Favorite Quotes

Decided to do a fun post today. I have this weird habit of when I'm watching a movie or doing something and I hear this really awesome quote, I have to write it down. I have a word document dedicated entirely to random quotes and things I need to remember called my "Scratch Sheet." Today I wanted to go through that and share some of my favorite quotes with you.

"Nothing is more tragic than a love never loved, a stand never taken, a performance never held, and a life never lived." ~ Zoombie from AW

Kazran: "Why are you climbing in the window?"
Doctor: "Because if I was climbing out the window I'd be going in the wrong direction." ~ Doctor Who (A Christmas Carol)

Kazran: "When girls are crying are you supposed to talk to them?"
Doctor: "I have absolutely no idea." ~ Doctor Who (A Christmas Carol)

"I have a life left to be lived. And you're not going to be in it!" ~ The Holiday

"Sometimes you read a book so special that you want to carry it around with you for months after you've finished just to stay near it." ~ Markus Zusak

"That was pure genius!"
"Yes, I shall go down in history as the man who opened a door!" ~ Ever After

"If I found the love of my life, I wouldn't stand there like an idiot, whispering in a garden. I would just grab her from that blasted balcony and be done with it." ~ Letters to Juliet

They say if you love someone you should let them go, but how do you do that when they were never yours in the first place?

"There is no platform nine and three-quarters. You are the 700th kid to ask me that, and I still refuse to believe it exists." ~ A Very Potter Sequel

"One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an angel." ~ Doctor Who (Girl in the Fireplace)

Doctor Who quotes are WIN. Now I want to watch the Christmas special again...

I do this too, except in the quotes section of my Facebook page, so I get to bombard everyone else with the hilarity and awesome as well.

I love this--and it's something I never do. I'm always impressed when people can come up with hilarious or profound quotes that are relevant to a situation. I don't remember a tenth of what I watch, and less than half of what I read. Maybe I should try to get into this habit!

RTW: First Quarter Check-In

Road Trip Wednesday is a ‘Blog Carnival,’ where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question that begs to be answered. In the comments, you can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week:  Quarterly check-ins! We're already 1/4 of the way through the year--where are you on your reading and writing goals? Where did the time go??  Reading Goal: 100 books  Where I should be: About 16 Where I am: 5  Clearly it is not going very well. In my defense, I did finish up A Clash of Kings in January and read A Storm of Swords in February. I'm hoping to do some catch up reading over spring break and then really get trucking when summer rolls around. I'm probably getting A Feast for Crows this week, though, so we'll see how long that lasts.  Writing I didn't set any writing goals for this year, other than just to keep writing. My writing kind of dropped off last sem...

RTW -- Picking Titles

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic. This Week's Topic: How do you pick your titles? I don't really have a secret for picking titles. Basically my method is to wait until something pops into my head that sounds good to me. Sometimes that title might not even really fit the book or feel exactly right, but to me it's just a working title until I think of something better. Burning Bridges was the first thing to pop into my head when I started the first draft and needed something to name the folder. I don't know why it popped into my head because I don't really see a connection between the book and the title, but it's stuck through every one of the three drafts. Lately I've been toying with the idea of changing it to Once Bitten, Twi...

Monday Updates: July 29

This is my last Monday Updates post. As of next Monday, I'm going to start up my college tips weekly blog on Mondays, since it's almost the school year.  Song of the Week: Here's to Us by Halestorm How's Life? Well, there are only two days left in July and I'm still trying to figure out where the rest of my summer went. Seriously, it can't almost be August, can it? How's TV?  Watched the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Friday. There was a point in the middle where I wanted to just stop because I didn't want the series to end. It was a fantastic finale, definitely one of my favorites. Now I'm trying to decide which on my long list should I watch next. Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing movie. I already knew Jennifer Lawrence was a fantastic actress but she still managed to surprise me. Taken 2 isn't nearly as good as the first one, but it's a decent movie overall.  How's Reading? Books read: 0 I'm no...
