'Ello Stranger

Hello. My name is... Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Haha, I wish.

Hello. My name is.. crazy high school girl. Lazy senior. Potential to become... something. Later.

Hello. My name is. My name is.. recovering after life kicked my butt. Learning to trust. Dreaming the impossible. Thinking too much, saying nothing. Rambling in simple written words.

Nice to meet you. The purpose of my strange spiels is to update you on the literary thoughts of my puzzling mind. First off, I'd like to tell you about my favorite book.

And that oh-so-amazing book is Speak. Brilliantly written by Laurie Halse Anderson. For those of you who haven't read this book, it is about a young girl named Melinda, struggling through both the typical awkward challenges of high school society as well as a recent tragedy that's compelled her to hide her voice. It's a beautiful, artistic journey through the mind of a broken girl, learning to pick up the fragile, sharp-edged pieces.

Hello. My name is Riley. Honestly.

P.S. If you don't understand the Princess Bride reference at the very beginning of this post, well, that's just wrong. Leave now. Save yourself.
