I am no longer allowed to taunt anyone by showing them my ass. (What. It's a traditional way of arguing!) *rubs smacked bottom*

Could be. Is she anything like baby Jesus? How fast CAN a Cheetah run?

Ah, that explains it. Canadians, eh?

Gundam Seed. Kira and Fllay (or however the hell it's spelled) I cannot say enough about how wrong this was, and no fanfiction needed to make it worse. However, that being said, I think this pairing is about the most realistic one I've ever come across. I always hoped Kira would end up with someone more...deserving. Needless to say, I wasn't sad when the...oops, spoiler, in case you didn't see it, I'm glad the relationship ended the way it did.

^ knows I'm good at it. < used to smuggle all kinds of things < until < realized that no one really was paying attention anyway V not so lucky. Everyone notices you.

I admire the lighting in 4. It was a toss up for me, but the lighting did it. It looks like a work of art. I have no idea who they are. sry.

pfft! How can "real person" be fiction? Isn't that an oxymoron? What about pictures you take at the beach and put on photobucket? (Gnaws fingernails)

Once. The lifeguard nearly threw up G/NG: kissed in the pool

YOU'VE FORESKINED THE CHURCH?!!! HOW COULD YOU? Oh, Forsaken

Yes, its called "Plorn" Is it possible to actually enjoy "Plorn" or is there way too much giggling and elbow jabbing?

could have been once Austin Powers? No wait, wrong name came to mind. Ninja Gaijan?

She was a wicked witch anyway....

ooh, ooh, me, me now! (raises hand and waves it around a lot) I think the article was a filler because there was nothing else to report, but as we all know, "No news is good news". We can't possibly stuff all the known historical facts into children's heads or our own. We'll forget how to live in the "now". However, I think that its a kind of growing thing, where you learn more and more history as you get older and you shouldn't stop learning or questioning. One of the criteria for inclusion in the history books is the combination of several agreeable accounts for every important incident. For instance, the ride of Paul Revere, or the Battle of Waterloo. Of course, one would say the good guys write the history, but then, would you think we lived in a wrong world if Hitler would have won? Obviously, although he had some really good ideas, and very popular policies, there was something deeply wrong with the man. And Attilla the Hun? In Hungary "Attila" is an honoured name. He was a great conqueror. I'm glad someone brought up the African origins, however, just because we found one skeleton (or was it only a skull?) doesn't mean that there weren't others somewhere else. That's just where we happen to find that one. Who knows what the Earth will reveal when the next upheaval occurs? (Although it does seem more likely that Africa is the land of Eden, since the climate was conducive to human development) We won't really know the truth until we die and go to heaven and have that really really long talk with God about all this. That is, if you believe in God.

er, yes. My favoritest of all time. Too bad for the others who never read it. I bet they read "Tess of the Dubervilles" though! Man, that book depressed me. As for people who yell at each other, all relationships (not just marriages), there is a testing ground, a growing curve, just like 3 year olds and "terrible twos", a marriage goes through growing pains. Some people like to fight. There are lots of reasons why things are the way they are. It's just like their back-grounds, the buttons they allow others to push, owning your own emotions, dealing with crap you didn't know you had to deal with, not taking care of yourself, illness, remodelling the home, death of a child. There's TONS of outside influences and so many different .... well, darling, I just love you, that's all. I could go on and on, but that what I like most about stories. All those crazy influences. Don't let it upset you. As for me, I am no saint. I had a 3 day Ukrainian wedding complete with drunken dancing on the tables (after we left) and a good excuse as any for everyone to get together and have a bash. I made my own wedding gown (I wish I hadn't, now, but hey, ce le vie), and then we argued for 10 years straight. None of my kids want to have kids of their own, and for damn good reason. I'm not saying that what we did was good or anything like that, but there is a lot of unexpected things out there that will test the limits of your patience. I envy those who are mature enough to be fulfilled by their relationships, but you know what? I've found those that I've thought to be the most enduring to actually be the most at risk because guess what? They never communicated. Not really. Oooh, I'm waxing philisophic. I think I'm pretty lucky. I love my life. I had to go through more shit than I thought possible, but you know, an eagle can't fly unless it leaves the nest and opens its wings.

I don't think I could rate my own fic. I'm too close to it. It's too subjective for me. I'd have to let say, oh, a year or two go by then get back to it and then, if I think to myself, "Hey, this is damn good!" then I know I've done a good job. Kind of like getting an unexpected glance in the mirror at yourself and thinking for a split second, "Who is that? Not bad... Oh, its me, well damn, I'm not as ugly as I thought..."

right now I'm watching One Piece (subbed) and am enjoying it a lot. I've heard the dubbed version was massacred.

I think that if a list of stories should be put up, it should go by hits, or number of reviews, not by ratings. I find ratings fickle. I always look at the number of hits, and in this, a thousand leaves me wet. tenthousand leaves me delirious

Maybe if the author was prevented from rating their own stories in the first place, or from rating more than once, there might be a change in that feature. You can rate a fic over and over just to get the odds up in your favor. Its a useless feature if you rate someone's fic one star just to bring down the 5 star rating it doesn't deserve because all they have to do is rate it 5 again to bring it back up to its misleading rating. WTF? You write bad, and people are telling you by the rating system, then improve it! It's a good indicator of how well your work is recieved, especially if people are like Melody Fate and let their good manners speak instead of leaving a critical review that even though well intentioned, may be deleted. Rating is a safe way of showing displeasure and warning people that this may not be worth your time. But well, now its kind of misleading in another way if a person rates it negatively because they don't like the pairing or hate the writer's voice or because of content rather than because it actually is a bad fic. Oh well. Let's ask Dark Avenger! She knows everything

Little ones lost. A mother that recently lost her child wrote a poem about it and read it at the funeral. I was really surprised that she used the analogy of a Brown Dwarf, an astrological phenomenon recently proven, where a star newly born dissipates its energy when thermonuclear reaction fails. Even the universe mourns when the light from a star fails to shine.

Hm. I've written here for about a year now, so I'm pretty comfortable with WTF and LOL and just figuring out ROFL. Believe it. I'm really really stupid with these damn anachronisms. They drive me up a wall. Or someone will tell me, well, that means two guys. How can "gay sex" somehow ever come to mean "slash"? and yes, I read it all and learned very quickly, but you know, all this computerese is really a big learning curve for some people who aren't computer-literate. It's like a whole new language. It's stupid. Call a spade a spade. "This story contains gay sex". Call it GS. This never made sense to me. Calling it slash just sounded...well, really painful and bloody.

(Damn! I can just picture it: "It was a day like any other. But then, by degrees, it all spiralled out of control. It all started with the coffee...") I am no longer allowed to put sentences together 1 hour before supper.

2757 bazillion million...heh heh, just trying to get Mel's goat...

Ja-ne! Hey, Person Who is supposed to be getting her beauty rest!
