So every now and then I mark quotes in books that I really like.  I’ve decided I’m going to start typing them out on here.  So yeah, new category.  Please enjoy.

“You can’t say she was too exuberant, like Bonnie, or too serene like Meredith.  Elena was just sweet enough to offset her bright, active, ever-scheming mind.  She was just compassionate enough to make up for her self-confessed egotism, and just skewed enough to ensure that no one would ever call her normal.  She was intensely loyal to her friends and just forgiving enough that she herself considered almost no one an enemy-kinsune and Old Ones of the vampire kind excepted.  She was honest and frank and loving, and of course she had a dark streak in her that her friends simply called wild, but that Damon recognized for what it really was.  It compensated for the naive, soft, ingenous side of her nature.” -The Vampire Diaries, The Return-Shadow Souls by LJ Smith

This quote jumped out at me because I think it describes me to some point.  I like to think there is a lot of dualities about me that make me very intersting.  People always say that I come across as the sweetest girl they know but then after a while they realize that beyond being sweet, I’m also an impulsive, whirl wind.  Although, the fact that people don’t realize I have a wild streak when they see I have tons of tattoos and even dermal peircings (my back dimples) is beyond me.
