I'm hardly a Wall Flower

Hello my lovelies!
It's Evans (or Lily if it's Mum)

I'm off attempting to conquer the world, or studying for exams... or just... not here.
either way, you're going to hear a beeping sound- no, you're not crazy,
and after that beep, you tell me who you are, what you want, and you're favorite deli sandwich.

If you fail- well, you don't want to fail.
Fair warning.

-Beep!-

Strive for excellence, not perfection. -H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

 

 

You have to pass, you have to do more than pass, you have to be perfect…. Perfect. Lily bent over another scroll, taking her time, making sure every mark was right, was perfect… was exactly what she wanted it to be. Perfection mattered, perfection counted.

 

“You freak! I hate you! I hate you I hate you!”

 

It didn’t matter what Petunia said.
It didn’t matter at all. After all, she was the one at the school for freaks she was the one who needed to earn the grades.

 

“You and your friend, you’re both freaks!”

 

It didn’t matter… it didn’t matter as the ink splotched, and spread. Ruining another piece of parchment.
Nothing mattered.

 

“I sent a letter you know… I sent a letter!”

 

No one could be perfect in everyone’s eyes.
No matter how hard Lily tried, no matter what cost, what pain, or how late she stayed up at night, studying the stars. She couldn’t be perfect.

 

But then, they didn’t put perfect on the tops of her essays.

 

They put ‘Excellent.’

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. You can even ask more than one something because I am at heart a generous person. :)

Ask away

I was going to try and pull a Sirius and do that Meme in fan-art.. but I seriously believe that there is more Snape/Lily art out there than Lily/James or just plain Lily...

it's... depressing.

Japanese Toad Lily by *boron on deviantART

So- Mum always called me her Tiger Lily and all but...
Everyone see's tiger lilies.. they're kind of normal.

I don't think I am. At least- according to P. I'm not. She's probably right. Muggles can be Tiger Lilies.

Me? I'm going to be a Toad Lilie.
because of the following reason.

A: It's stunning, -and personaly, I'd like to think I'm a fairly attractive witch and woman.
B:It's unique -and like I said, I defnitily find myself as unique.
C: The name isn't the whole story- Lilies are normally just pretty little things to look at... and Evans is a boy's name. I think I am quite a bit more than both. Hence why the toad is so awesome.


If you can destroy my case, I'll.. send you a cookie.
If you agree, good for you.

You Are Hesitant in Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time. You give and take equally in relationships. You need your space and privacy. You don't like to be smothered. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.
