death is nothing at all

death is nothing at all

i have only slipped away into the next room

i am i and you are you

whatever we were to each other

that we still are

call me by my old familiar name

speak to me in the easy way

which you always used

put no difference in your tone

wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow

laugh as we always laughed

at the little jokes we enjoyed together

let my name be ever the household word

thai it always was

let it be spoken without effect

without the trace of shadow on it

life means all that it never meant

it is the same as it ever was

there is unbroken continuity

why should i be out of mind

because i am out of sight?

i am waiting for you, for an interval

somewhere very near

just around the corner

all is well

roderick plumpton

Seeker for the England National Team and the Tutshill Tornados. Holds British record for fastest capture of Golden Snitch during game: three and a half seconds. This happened in 1921 and the move he used to make the catch is now called the Plumpton Pass. Plumpton maintains the catch was totally intentional and not sheer dumb luck (fw71, QA10).

down to earth ~ justin bieber

I never thought that it’d be easyCause we’re both so distant nowAnd the walls are closing in on usAnd we’re wondering how
No one has a solid answerBut just walking in the darkAnd you can see the look on my faceIt just tears me apart
So we fight (so we fight)Through the hurt (through the hurt)And we cry and cry and cry and cryAnd we live (and we live)And we learn (and we learn)And we try and try and try and try
So it’s up to you and it’s up to meThat we meet in the middleOn our way back down to earthDown to earth (x2)On our way back down to earthBack down to earth (x8)
Mommy you were always somewhereAnd Daddy I live out of townSo tell me how could I ever be normal somehowYou tell me this is for the bestSo tell me why am I in tears?Whoa, so far away and now I just need you here
So we fight (so we fight)Through the hurt (through the hurt)And we cry and cry and cry and cryAnd we live (and we live)And we learn (and we learn)And we try and try and try and try
So it’s up to you and it’s up to meThat we meet in the middle,On our way back down to earth yeah yeah yeahDown to earth (x2)On our way back down to earth (on our way back down to earth)Back down to earth (x8)
I felt so far awayFrom where we used to beAnd now we’re standingAnd where do we go?When there’s no roadTo get to your heartLet’s start over again
So it’s up to you and it’s up to meThat we meet in the middle,On our way back down to earthDown to earthDown to earth (down to earth)On our way back down to earth
I never thought that it’d be easyCause we’re both so distant nowAnd the walls are closing in on us and we’re wondering how

esme cullen

Esme Cullen (née Platt, previously Evenson), is a vampire and the matriarch of the Olympic Coven. She is the wife of Carlisle Cullen and the adoptive mother of Alice, Emmett, and Edward Cullen and Rosalie and Jasper Hale. Esme is the adoptive mother-in-law of Bella Cullen and the adoptive grandmother of Renesmee Cullen, as well as the ex-wife of Charles Evenson (when she was still human).
In 1921, after losing her child, Esme attempted suicide, though she was transformed into a vampire by Carlisle. Some time later, the pair fell in love and married; before building a family of like minded "vegetarian" vampires around them. Esme possessed an unparalleled ability to love those around her passionately, which allowed the members of her adoptive family to consider her as the greatest maternal figure in their lives.

jasper hale

Jasper Hale (né Whitlock) is a vampire who once participated in the great vampire wars of the south (and is a survivor), but later became a member of the Olympic Coven. He is the husband and soul mate of Alice Cullen and the adoptive son of Carlisle and Esme Cullen, as well as the adoptive brother of Rosalie Hale (in Forks, he and Rosalie pretend to be twins), Emmett and Edward Cullen. Jasper is the adoptive brother-in-law to Bella Cullen and the adoptive uncle of Renesmee Cullen.
After becoming a major in the Confederate Army, Jasper was best upon by the vampire Maria, who proceeded to turn him. After the transformation, Jasper aided Maria in her creation of a newborn vampire army which successfully conquered the feeding grounds of Texas. However, Jasper became tired of this violent and bloodlust life and eventually became a nomad. Fortunately, he was eventually found by Alice, the love of his life and with her began a life with the peaceful coven of the Cullen family.

alice cullen

Alice Cullen, born in 1901 as Mary Alice Brandon, is a vampire with the ability of precognition and is a member of the Olympic Coven. She is the wife of Jasper Hale and the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Alice is the adoptive sister of Emmett and Edward Cullen, as well as the adoptive sister of Rosalie Hale. Alice is the adoptive sister-in-law of Bella Cullen and the adoptive aunt of Renesmee Cullen. She also has a sister, Cynthia Brandon, and has a niece (Cynthia's daughter) living in Biloxi.
In 1920, after having been institutionalized by her family, an unknown vampire transformed Alice into a vampire to save her from the relentless tracker, James. Later, she was led to the love of her life, Jasper, after receiving a vision of him, and the pair subsequently began a life with the peaceful coven of the Cullen family.

emmett cullen

Emmett Cullen (né Emmett Dale McCarty) is a vampire and member of the Olympic Coven. He is the husband of Rosalie Hale and the adoptive son of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. Emmett is the adoptive brother of Alice and Edward Cullen, as well as the adoptive brother of Jasper Hale. He is the adoptive brother-in-law of Bella Cullen and the uncle of Renesmee Cullen.
After being mauled by a black bear in 1935, Emmett was rescued by Rosalie Hale, and given a second chance at life after being transformed into a vampire by Carlisle Cullen at Rosalie's request. Rosalie and Emmett were rarely parted after this, being that they were true soul mates. The pair were integral members of the Cullen family and participated eagerly in removing the numerous impediments it faced. Emmett is a vegetarian vampire like the rest of the Cullens and has gold eyes instead of crimson like most vampires. Having enhanced physical vampiric strength, Emmett is physically the strongest in the Olympic Coven. Emmett has massive muscles which cannot grow since he is a vampire. Emmett is married to Rosalie; they have a strong connection together.
