"The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places."

This quote, written by Ernest Hemingway, in A Farewell to Arms, best describes me. I am a person that the world has broken in many places at many different times, but I have risen from these challenges stronger because of them.

I really love that Ernest Hemmingway quote. Best of luck this season!

I heard someone use it on NPR and I knew it described my core. I love Hemingway!

Best of luck to you too! :)

I love your icon! Just wanted to say.

And good luck!

I found it on _alt_icons. I think I'm going to use it for my LJ Idol entries.

Thank you and likewise!

Thank you! I was looking for something different.

I think your use of quotations to make your points was creative. Welcome back!

[shay_writes]

Thank you! I was inspired by NPR. ;)

You say that because you know how much of an NPR junkie I am. lol

[shay_writes]

And because it's true! ;) (winking emoticon)

I'm a NPR junkie too!

P.S. I think you would like TBTL. It is a great podcast.

Quotes were a creative way of dong this boring intro thing.

I have always loved the notion of being strong in the broken places.

I love that quote and it seemed appropriate for me.

I've done several takes on the introduction post. I needed something "new."

P.S. I'm taking your "describe pictures please" tweet to heart and I'm going to make an effort to describe the photos I post. *hugs*

Yeah the intro gets boring after a while. Mine is only slightly different.

Thanks on the pictures. I think there are six or eight blind people playing this season anyway, that I noticed from screen names.
