I'm new here and want to get to know people a bit. So, I'd like to know what kinda music you like, what authors and poets you like best and so on..... Ok, so I'm Sinivalkoinen 616. My name is Finnish for "blue and white" which is often used to refer to the Finnish flag I am told. I love rock and heavy metal. My fave bands are Iron Maiden, Metallica, W.A.S.P, Twisted Sister, NightWish, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation and HIM. I like loads more, but they would take up far to much room! ;D My fave authors and poets include Jane Austin, Dilly Court, Diane Setterfield, H.P Lovecraft, William Blake, Phillip Pullman and Edgar Allan Poe. (again, I like alot more, but it would take forever to write them all down!) So, yeah, thats me! You can also call me Nemo though if you wish!

Awesome idea to do this forum, by the way. So...I'm endovia. The name itself has no meaning, I just made it up. I'm protective over my real name, don't ask. Erm...I like most types of music. Not much of a fan of rap, scream-type stuff, extremely loud, burst-your-ears music, or old country. I usually listen to All Top Hits Sky.fm under Pop on iTunes. That sorta tells you what music I typically like. Some bands/artists I like are One Republic, Coldplay, Toni Braxton, Nelly Furtado, Linkin Park, and quite a few others. I love reading and writing, a little obvious. Authors I like are Donita K. Paul, Caitlyn Kittredge, Kristen Britian, Christopher Paolini, Georgia Byng, Zizou Corder, Jason Hightman, Phillip Pullman, Walter Farley, Stephenie Meyer, and a bunch more. I don't read a lot poems so I can't tell you any poets that I like. Now you know a little bit more about me!

Yes, good idea. And welcome to the club!
Okay... I'm sapphiresmoke. Just call me sapphire, or any shortening of sapphiresmoke, really... I don't listen to the radio much, so I don't really have favorite singers/bands, but I like Taylor Swift. I LOVE the Wicked soundtrack. I mostly listen to movie/musical theater soundtracks.
My favorite authors are R. A. Salvatore, Christopher Paolini, Stephenie Meyer, Phillip Pullman, Ted Dekker, and a million others that I know I like but can't list off the top of my head.

Mmm the name is Ruger. It's an awessome brand of gun. I ride horses, I love to read and write novels and poetry. I loveee music in all it's forms. I play piano and a little bit of guitar. I love screamo, hard rock, light rock, well basically rock in all it's shapes. I also listen to alot of classical (Largo is really good), country, and a little bit of rap, but not a whole lot.
My favorite singers/bands would be Coldplay, Disturbed, Killswitch, A7X, Gary Allan, Aerosmith, Poision, Three Days Grace, Terri Clark, Saving Abel, George Straight, and Nickleback. Instrumental wise, I love Sonatas, Minuets, and Concertos more than syphonies.
Book wise? I love the twilight serise. Historical fiction, westren, and fantasy are amazing. basically I'll read anything once.

So.... On most places I"m known as ~Beauty~, if you see the ~ it's mostly likely me. But you can call me Beauty, no need for the extra stuff. I can tell you my first name, it's Kayla. I am a huge fan of eating a lot, but I have a high metabolism, so I'm skinny anyway. I'm sixteen and am a Junior in high school.
I spend my time running Cross Country, and doing Track in spring. I am the Editor of the school newspaper, and part of the journalism staff. (aka, yearbook staff) I write all types of stories except non-fiction. I absolutely despise writing about myself, or an event in my life. I mostly write long short stories.
I am constantly surrounded by music. I even sleep with the radio on, or headphones. I have a guitar, but I haven't quite learned a lot; it's a reletively new object. I listen to mostly all forms of rock, alternative, and some of those in between generas. I don't like classifying music in categories. Recently I have been listening to the following bands: Panic at the Disco, We the Kings, The Academy is..., Boys like Girls, Guns and Roses, Queen, and many many others.
I read a lot, but it would take me forever to list all of my favorite books. I'll just list the first author's that come to my mind. Jane Austen, Libba Brey, Stephenie Meyer, Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, Anthony Horowitz, Scot Westerfield, Lois Lowry, L.M. Montgomery, and probably many others I haven't mentioned. I also like the Harry Potter series, but I think the JKR is a attention wh.ore. Sorry if that offends you.
So yea, that's me for the most part. I also spell bad and don't use comma placement. So feel free to critique anything I write!

This is a bit off-topic but when I was reading Beauty's bands and stuff. I read 'Guns and Roses' and thought of this one time I went to a chinese restaurant, yes chinese, and they played a song from Guns and Roses called 'Sweet Child O' Mine' while we were waiting for our meals. Pretty random but I felt the need to type it to you guys.

Lol. That is random. Since we're listing sports, too... I play soccer and tennis. Soccer is my competition, tennis is just for fun. Soccer I play three seasons out of four (fall is tennis season - yes, I play soccer in the winter - indoors). I also horseback ride... I rode on Monday and was bucked with, but I stayed on. Second time I've been bucked with, second time I've stayed on. Sorry, that was random. Um... I also edit a local magazine - it's a compilation of student work from districts near mine.

aghhh GNR rocks. (lol) ahhh my sports? I mainly ride horses. I ride mostly Hunter Under Saddle, Hunter Hack, Hunter of fences, etc etc (you get the idea). But I absolutely love to Barrel Race, Pole Bend, and run flags with my sister and brother-in-law down south. Currently, I'm re-training a Thoroughbred race mare, Rea (aka ReaOnTheRox) and helping my boss with a red roan pleasure stud colt named Zeike. I have been known to play soccer if I can kind someone to play with me. . noone will cause either A) soccer is considered a "dumb" sport around here (totally NOT true) or B) they tell me that it's not allowed to tackle people in the game, so we play football. hehe. I guess I'm too aggressive for them...lol

Lol, Ruger. I tend to kick people's legs instead of the ball. Hehe.

Lol. You two are so bad... And I'm glad I've never faced either of you on a soccer field. I get hurt too easily as it is.
We played this team my freshman year... A girl kicked me across both shins, completely deliberately, and took me out on a scoring opportunity. So there I am, lying on the ground in agony, as the other team gets the ball and THE REF DOESN'T CALL ANYTHING. I was so mad.
Then over the summer I tore the cartilage in my wrist playing soccer and almost got concussions twice (the concussions were against the same team). This one girl knocked me down so hard that my head cracked against the ground, and I was momentarily stunned. I nearly hit the goal post, too, the second time. She wasn't called for it the first time, but I guess I pretty much flew the second time. It was scary. My coaches and teammates were all asking me questions like, "what's the score?" "which half are we in?" "What city are we in?" It was kinda funny... Lol. But another girl on my team had had a concussion earlier in the year, so everyone was all worried about it.

I don't purposely kick their legs. They just get in my way. ;D
Wow. I think your team needs a new ref.
