About
Wow, I haven't updated this thing in forever... Erm, well, I've got lots of things to say about myself, but most of them should probably be reserved for a one-on-one basis. So... feel free to ask me questions!I've also been known to RP on most occasions. In fact, right now I've got an odd interest in something from Phantasy Star 2, 3 or 4 (yes, from the Genesis/Mega Drive). You'd probably be pretty awesome if that's something you could work out.

"Having heard that the brave soldiers before Sebastopol, whom I am proud to call my countrymen, have a liking for my Ballad on the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, I have ordered a thousand copies of it to be printed for them - No writing of mine can add to the glory they have acquired in the Crimea; but if what I have heard be true, they will not be displeased to receive these copies of the Ballad from me, and to know that those who sit at home love and honour them."
O the wild charge they made!
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder'd;
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade!
Honour the Light Brigade!
Noble six hundred!
Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Sab'ring the gunners there,
Charging an army,
While all the world wonder'd;
Plung'd in the batt'ry smoke,
Right thro' the line they broke,
Then they rode back, but not,
Not the six hundred.
Forward, the Light Brigade!
Was there a man dismay'd?
No tho' the soldier knew,
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs but to do or die;
Into the Valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."
