That's the thing with those of us from the UK, as some American TV shows has made it over here - we're starting to pick up the way Americans talk. But our British slang (bloody hell, balls, oh 'eck) has also made it's way into some Americans vocabulary - especially with Harry Potter being British. I know when talking to some of my American friends, I can come out with some right corkers that they then have to ask me what I mean. And with slang - it varies from region to region, something you'd hear in London you might not hear further up north of the country. Like Daye - British English is my norm, I've had someone from America ask me "what is a University?" in a review recently, something I never thought I'd have to explain to anyone..

One I got off Pooka - Chaotic Shiny - Very good for prompts and naming characters And one Apollo posted in the shoutbox - Erotic Story Generator - Also a Yaoi one there too and one for clothing - LookBook - I use it to see what my characters would look like in certain types of clothing

I'm one of those that class people as people. We're all human, we all make mistakes, we all love. I'm not homophobic, but there are people out there that are, and will make life difficult for those that are homosexual. I'm bisexual, but I have have a Master, and most of my other partners have been male - would that make me straight? I have gay friends - my best friend is gay - and lesbian friends. I celebrate Pride, but do I want to know what goes on behind closed doors with my gay friends? No thanks, what goes on behind closed doors is their business. Same with the lesbian friends, and same with the straight friends I have. Homophobia to me is something that shouldn't still be around, but is. It is just there for me, I don't get angry at it, but I do shoot the person who has said something homophobic a rather fierce look.They either get the message that I won't stand for it and leave, or I leave if they ignore me. My sort-of-MIL is very homophobic, and racist. I try not to let my children around her (and the rest of that side of the family for that matter.) - All be cause I don't want my kids to have an OPINION forced onto them. I swear my youngest is gay, granted he's 3 years old and I shouldn't say that, but the way he can act some times is likened to how my best friend can act when he's in a giddy mood. I act like I'm all my female friends lesbian lover when out with them, I was once dropped off at the train station after spending the night at one of my friends, got asked if I was waiting for "him", and turned around with a huge "cat got the cream" grin and said "No, SHE just dropped me off." The look on the males face was a picture. The fact someone was called homophobic over not watching Brokeback Mountain is a silly reason. Saying that, I feel the same way when someone comes out with a Transphobic comment. Once again, they're human, and a person in their own right, so what if they identify as the opposite gender than what they were born as? They can love, they can feel, and they deserve to be treated equally. EVERYONE deserves to be treated equally. In the words of lady gaga (don't care for her either way) "Baby, you were born this way."

One of my recent ones No No NO!!! SHOES!

Why? I'm 23 and watch iCarly...

The more I listen to and read the lyrics of "Believe" the more that I've started to form a one shot story line. However, not entirely sure how long it'll take me to do, as I've got a hefty load to work through as it is, but I will try the second.

On another forum I'm on there is a thread where you can write to your 16 year old self, and actually participating in that thread has sparked off something in me, so thought I'd add it here for others to try and do... (This has also sparked off an idea for a fic for me..) So, yeah.. Dear 16 year old me; Stay in college, even if you switch what you want to do. I know the first month is hard, but if you don't you'll end up getting pregnant at 18, then at 19 with someone who breaks your trust and stuck in a relationship that you can't get out of. Don't listen to those that are spreading vicious names about you, you will just take them in and then end up on anti-depressants over various stages of your life. Stick with the singing, and the writing. Through them you earn some great friends later on, and eventually fall for someone. Don't rush into things with people who worm their way back in from your early teens, it'll just end up in heartache. And remember, while the pain stops the numbness, you'll only end up scarring yourself for life. Appreciate your grandma, she won't be around long, and you will miss her daily. Keep eating, while you may think being a size 8 is appealing, it isn't worth the daily bone cracking and pain when you're older. Don't start smoking, and stay away from the drink. Out there is someone who loves you for you. There will be an age gap, but at the end of the day, that age gap means nothing to either of you and you're happy for the first time since you were a child. Don't give up and let people walk over you. You're worth more than that and deep down, you know that. Love, Me aged 23.
