My Own Avalon
http://myownavalon.wordpress.com/
Author: Sirenia
My Own Avalon is a site full of mystery and poems. Sirenia doesn’t share much about herself on the site’s about page because she is always evolving. I’ve done some detective work but all I could determine is that Sirenia isn’t her real name, she’s from Norway and is very stingy with her stupidity! You will thoroughly enjoy her humor and the awesome poetry she posts.

Blue Jellybeans
