COMPLETE. One of my occasional writing practices is cerebral poetry. Just me, some great coffee, random orchestral in the background, and my very hipster typewriter that prints in cursive. Is there meaning to anything I've written? Perhaps. I find that poetry often speaks more to the reader than of the writer, and this form is more like art than poetry (hence the pixelized cover portrait of The Fifer, by impressionism artist, Edouard Manet). =================== :: Updates for OLIVER'S WEATHERWORLD: Infrequently.

Things are unstable at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A chilled feeling of unease has replaced any sense that the castle could remain a safe haven to teach and learn magic. With the misfortunes of the previous year behind them, Fred and George arrive to find the castle infested with bats, launching rumors that there may be a vampire at the school. Although the twins have returned in high spirits, poised to claim new ground as pranksters and as Beaters for the Gryffindor team, nothing is ever easy for the Boy Who Was Twins. The new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher has it out for them, detentions are piling up, and with Albus Dumbledore gravely ill and near-fatal accidents occurring on and off the Quidditch pitch, a fear of death looms. As school life becomes more than problematic by the day, an enemy of Professor Quirrell arrives to wreak havoc and an evil presence makes itself known in the forbidden forest. A presence that will challenge everything. Will the twins be pushed beyond their limits when things go from difficult to dire? Who is the mysterious Alchemist, Nicholas Flamel? And how will the events of the year draw Fred and George closer to their destiny? =================== :: Updates for FRED AND GEORGE AND THE ELIXIR OF LIFE: Hopefully every other day.

Every time that you get undressed (I hear symphonies in my head): an AU in which Harry is the typical frat boy who doesn't believe in love but falls for the insecure mess that is Louis.

WARNINGS: SEXUAL CONTENT, DRUG USE, LANGUAGE, ABUSE, SELF HARM AND EATING DISORDER. This was published in 2011 on onedirectionfanfiction.com, and I decided to post it here as well in case people were interested. Jackie Vega moved with her family(well...almost) from sunny California to crappy London. And just because her father got a job. Of course, she needs to finish high school. She goes to secondary school, where she is paired up with Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson for a project. She's so innocent, she didn't even get her first kiss. So when you put an innocent girl and two horny, sex addict, crazy players, nothing good can come out of it...for her. But it's not only those two. She's Zayn Malik's new target, Niall Horan's new enemy and Liam Payne's new lab partner. Liam Payne: silent, quiet, cocky. Every good girl's dream boy. Niall Horan: funny, carefree, cheeky. Jackie's new enemy. Zayn Malik: misterious, perverted, always smells like smoke and alcohol. Jackie's new bully. Louis Tomlinson: horny, player, sassy. Jackie's new partner and bully. Harry Styles: most popular boy in school, ladies man, womanizer. Jackie's new partner and bully. --- Let's just say that senior year won't be as she imagined it to be. At least not when you have five very hormonal teenagers who are ready to make your life hell just because you spilled your spaghetti on them. But you know what they say...there is a thin line Between Love and Hate.
