To all those that thought fairytales were meant for kids, you are so very wrong. Honestly, after reading this article http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/10457 about the original versions of Cinderella etc etc, I rather not read about the not so original fairytales anymore. Though sick, these tales are really interesting, I mean, where else can you read about an abused Sleeping Beauty ( admit it, you'll be interested too )-btw, I'm not a perv, it IS really entertaining- or decapitated heads? Visit http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spok/grimmtmp/ for more enthralling versions of the original fairytales. Mwahahaha, prepare to be spooked. ( slideshow bout hk trip coming up. )

“In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference. We commonly do not remember that it is, after all, always the first person that is speaking. I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well. Unfortunately, I am confined to this theme by the narrowness of my experience. Moreover, I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men's lives; some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land; for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me. Perhaps these pages are more particularly addressed to poor students. As for the rest of my readers, they will accept such portions as apply to them. I trust that none will stretch the seams in putting on the coat, for it may do good service to him whom it fits.” Your disclaimer, description, or bio goes here.
