Well, the categories land in supernatural (especially romance and/or vampire) and books about teenagers and young adults with problems. I also enjoy some self-help books and also Christian inspiration.
Heroes
"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world - are the ones who do.”
~ Apple Computers
people who are willing to risk everything to do something big...and who don't lose their morals...never forgeting right from wrong...who never give up on love. people who chase their dreams...go after their destiny...and find the strength to override the odds and don't give up when it feels like it's completely out of reach.

Please don’t judge me by my face,
By my religion or my race.
Please don’t laugh at what I wear,
Or how I look or do my hair.
Please look a little deeper,
Way down deep inside.
And although you may not see it,
I have a lot to hide.
Behind my clothes the secrets lie,
Behind my smile, I softly cry.
Please look a little deeper,
And maybe you will see.
The lonely little girl,
That lives inside of me.
Please listen carefully to her,
She’ll show that she is insecure
Please try to be a friend to her,
And show her that you care.
Please just get to know her,
And maybe you will see.
That if you just look deep enough,
You’ll find the real me.
.."Still I Rise"..
by Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
I'm a Journalism major/Sociology minor at SIU-C. I love my true friends, God, my notebooks, smiling, being able to be around people who think outside the box, and I love making a difference anywhere I go.
I love God, first and foremost, and I truly believe in Christianity as a religion that is more open to a diverse aray of convictions than many people realize.
I've loved and lost, and it's all hurt like hell along the way. But, somehow, I manage to come out of it believing it'll be okay--simply because it has to.
You can't always tell what I'm talking about, but I promise, if you just ask, I can explain it to you in multiple ways.
If you don't like me, I'm not sorry, 'cause the odds are I'm trying to like you.
If you do like me, then I'm grateful, because I'll never be surprised if the world hates me.
ADDING ME
Okay, here's the deal. If you add me and I don't know you then I'm gonna decline you because I used to accept everybody but then I got way too many advertisements and BS so if I don't know you (or can't figure out that I know you) just send me a message letting me know you're a real person, deal? Thank you much! <3<3
Note
My top friends change alot from time to time for different reasons. You know if you're special to me or not. The Tempo staff members end up on my top friends alot, but also it tends to depend on who I talk to or reasons why I won't to have direct access to you. In other words, don't take it personally if I take you off. Okay? :)

Hey *just jess*, I just took this quiz, When Will You Get Married?. Check out my result on my profile, then go take the quiz and then see what you get!
I'm sorry I have been neglecting you! Things have been kind of crazy and you probably wouldn't have wanted me around anyway. But I do miss you, you're one of the actual smart friends I have met and have. I'm making a promise to talk to the people who actually give a damn more often. You're more open minded than anyone I know, and you've got great style chica. Always keep that head up, because you're something special! <3
I agree we should talk about it more. And we will :)
Yeah its nice to get that lil coniformation about how people think/feel when you talk about it, but it can also not help you open up about it when you need to, so you need to be careful of that babe. Don't let your fears of what people think and feel about it, let you not open up about it okay? Cause I know its not for attention or sympathy, its because you really need somebody to understand what you're going through and it helps you to talk about what is going on, cause Talking is a really great tool sometimes.
Well I'm glad everything is coming together, and that you get to take Page!! Well hopefully this sonic will be better, yeah?
I love you. And We'll both be okay, I promise. <333
Jess!!! MORNING I'm a tad hyper already and I just woke up and I don't know why. And then I thought you might still be sleeping some. Or doing something important an or something, cause I was going to text you this morning and say MORNING!! So then I decided to hop on myspace and say it.
Hmmm. Myspace seems to be changing everything, and so far most of the changes are okay, except the one where their basically forcing you to use 2.0 for your myspace layouts. That one sucks.
So I guess. If we don't take warlock to the vet, when Crystal goes, cause she never called last night and so far she hasn't called/came over. Then I guess I'm going to go hang out with Pat and her Mom. Cause her mom wants me to make music cds for her, and since apparently I'm the only one that they know that know how to, thats how I always get volunteered.
But then I'll be home, and then I'll probably call you or text you or something.
(Sorry for all the lil inserted smileys but I think their cute).
Oh and I decided something last night like around 4-6 am this morning.
I LOVE YOU. And I want you to be okay, and get through this and everything. And I'm going to be here every step of the way, and I know you think you've been talking about recovery to much, but honestly you haven't, and if you need someb
