cold-blooded murder?

Today, the sun is the center of a broken dippy egg     soft and flowing into the white, foggy sky around it

Today, the fog is a translucent blanket     (it is a strange sort of fog         gathering more in the valleys than it is          hanging from the heavens)

I'm standing on a mountain, looking down     and all I can see is the tops of trees        the rest of their towering masses are submerged     (I am reminded of a lake in Washington       in which there lives an entire forest       and when the tide goes out, you can see the tops of the trees       fighting their way to the surface)

Today I am a flightless bird            I am submerged

Hi there! Im Zee! I love reading (obviously:P) and wasting my time doing other stuff like watching way to much anime, playing piano, and writing because writing is fun!

If I had to pick a favorite book, I'd have to say Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Its not my usual read, but I remember picking it up on recommendation from a friend, and once I started, I couldn't stop. 

My usual genres include fantasy and science fiction, but I'm open to trying pretty much anything. (And paranormal romance is my guilty pleasure genre. The Iron King, anybody? ;) One of my favorite authors is Cinda Williams Chima, who has got two series out, the Heir Chronicles and the Seven Realms. I'm partial to the Seven Realms, which is about a boy named Hans Alister, a streetrat in the city, and how he works against the evil Wizards who want to run the country of the Fells. ahhhhhhitssogood. I've also read the first five books of the Legend of Drizzt series by RA Salvatore, which I really enjoyed, but I prefer the War of the Spider Queen series to it. Both are about Drow in the city of Menzoberranzen and how they go about living in a society that is inherently evil and chaotic. (Its based off of the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game)

I do spend alot of my reading time reading D&D books, and I'm not really sure why that is... I love picking up on guidelines to build worlds (I prefer playing a Dungeon Master) and reading these books has greatly helped my writing abilities. 

Other books I have in my library include Magic the Gathering books (a little Magic cant go awry) , Game of Thrones (because dayum can George RR Martin write), Divergent (I reaaaallly like those post-apolcalyptic type things), Harry Potter (ahhhhh), Rangers Apprentice (Which was good for the first four books, but went down hill as they progressed 3:), The Darkest Minds (its by Alexandra Bracken, its super good), The Alchemyst (Another good one, by Micheal Scott. I love the way the entire series happens over the course of like a week, he can really manage his time well in his writing), The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (A non-fiction actually! (i know, surprise) but a great read!) And the Septimus Heap series. of course, theres more, but that would probably stretch this post out way to much ;P

Anyway, it would be really cool to join the network, so considering me would be awesome ;33
