wow I'm so confused,where'd the thread go that I was just talking on xd hahah is there a way to view threads I posted on?

XSageX: Yes, you can look at the top of the screen, to the right, where above the first post on a page you see "Thread Tools". Hit the orange button and you'll see a dropdown menu, and the last option is to subscribe to the thread. Hit it, then hit "Add Subscription" on the page it takes you to, and every time you hit the "My Account" tab at the top of the screen, it'll show you any threads that have new posts as long as you subscribed.

Ok thankyou dexter,your a very kind person,Ill be sure to refer to you for any help seeing as how you obviously know what your talking about and the fact that your my only friend thus far and for that I thank you again. :)

this site reminds me of animeonline 0-0

Well I've been here for a few years, this account being my newest one since I took a break from the site and forgot my login details. I do try to help wherever possible, but if you have a question I or others cannot answer, refer to a moderator. Their names are always listed in purple, so you can find them easily in the list at the bottom of the forum lists.

You can easily find friends, though. No one here hates new members; in fact, anyone, really, would be willing to show you around, talk to you about shared interests, or include you in conversations already started. Mene Nation is always full of people, know.

I'm not sure I heard of that site, though. Many people who are members here came from Gaia Online.

I've got the list of memes down and know how to use them, it really bothers me that people try to do things or talk about things they are clueless about. They have no idea what they just said. But it's just as bad when they know what they are talking about yet they can only talk about that, or reference that in general conversation.
I love failblog sites, especially learn from my fail. I actually posted a few fails of my own on that one. People of Wal-Mart is hilarious, but at the same time, sad and worrisome. What if those people... multiply!? And their little ones... are like that!? One can only wonder. But I make sure to at least be halfway decent going anywhere, or I or someone else could end up on Poorly Dressed. Big Brother is always watching...

Well it will certainly save you from having to buy more leashes. Ours kept snapping while teaching Gene and Nickle the ways of the leash and how to behave, and our last resort was a chain-link leash. It really saved from snapping and chewing, despite making the dog appear a little more aggressive to some outsider. Best thing to use if it's a last resort, though. We've got the entire grounds fenced off, with one main gate that allows cars into the area and one back gate that leads to the cliffside. It's mostly that little one we worry about someone getting into, because it's only locked with a bolt and key someone could easily pick.

I like cats, but sometimes there are more than enough. They seemed more like rats than cats, reproducing like mad and digging up the yards for one reason or another. And that kitten is still in the basement. We resorted to using one of our cages to trap him, but we have yet to hear anything noting it's caught. It's a bit of a feral cat, so we have to wonder if we will take him to a shelter and risk him being put to sleep, or take him far away from people and let him fend for himself. I think it's best just to let him go somewhere far off. Safest for him, anyway.

If you start out with your left, it's not as difficult to learn again with that hand if you need to. A bit of a second-nature thing, I suppose.

I'm sure there was no pain. I have to wonder if it's the heat that got to them, because it was certainly very hot where we were and we tried to keep them as cool as possible. Ah, I suppose we will never figure it out.

I'm not sure who he is or who he is supposed to be, but in what I'm writing, I'm... wait, do you want to know, or are you reading it since I have it in my blog? Because if I tell you, there will go a bit of the shock factor.

Shadow! No, not scary. Just a series of different topics in a single post.

I bet if it was in different colours, I wouldnt be so confused :XD

Dexter Morgan:

I love music. I'm almost always listening to it on my iTunes or Youtube. Even it's just in the background, but music is playing. It is a great escape, sometimes it works too well because I end up spacing out to the music and can't hear anything else around me. That's true, I try to give every artist a chance, but sometimes I come across music that kind of just annoy me. Hahaha.
Basement kitty, hahaha that's cute.
Government is in everything. *shifty eyes* I'm sure they monitor just about everything online. More sites than others of course.

With me it's different. People look at me and think of me as a saint. Someone who does no wrong. It's highly annoying. It puts on unwanted pressure on me, because I feel like I can't make mistakes. Which is hard when I chose to not go to college to take a break. My parents flipped out and thought I was going to end up on the streets. It's hard living with parents who expect too much. Only if they realized that I am human not a robot.
I don't want to risk Tobi looking too aggressive. So simple things for him, but something that will work too.

Oh baths, those should be fun. I know Tobi doesn't like them. But he enjoys it when my mom sets up the sprinklers in the backyard. Weird dog. Haha. I know bunnies are work, but I really do want one despite them being lots of cleaning. We've had fish before, so we know what kinds to get. Our last fish died because of a storm. o.o The fish got electrocuted by the lamp when the lights flickered. I was fond of him. We were going to buy more of those fish but we decided not too.

I read the third! They do. Makes me keep wanting more. It's definitely going to make a great story! It's already a good one. When I read something with that much detail as your story I can vividly see it in my head. Sometimes I get lost in the story and forget I'm reading. Hahaha.

Rozalyne:

Somewhere in the house, there is always a radio or computer playing music from random sites or stations, usually with random artists, since it tends to get a bit boring with a single genera of music. I've never tended to space out with music going, because my mind is always very focused on it to understand what it says. Unless it's classical like Mozart or Beethoven. That can lull us into a half-asleep state, it really can.
I should have gotten a white one to call Ceiling Kitty. That way good and evil could have lived under one roof!
Yes, they are everywhere. But then, it's the Internet, so it's only expected.

I hate that about people. Always jumping to conclusions based on what we look like or how we dress. They tell me I look like an ex-con, they tell Cin he looks like he just climbed from a gutter based on his old clothes. They see how some act on one or two occasions and stick them with a label to go off from then on. My parents told me, when I said I was not going to college and I dropped out of high school, I would be nothing in life and would die early because of some developed addiction or problems with the law, but they were wrong! They usually are. Everyone makes mistakes; so make them, then apologize if needed.
Something that works is more important than aggressive looks. Really it's just for training, then you can get rid of those evil-looking harnesses and leashes.

These dogs. They hate baths, and we give them one every Sunday. They take off all around the yard and make us chase them with the hose. We learned to wear them down before a bath, that way we have less than a chase. It's either they hate baths, or hate being forced to be under the influence of water, because we take them to the little shore nearby and they love the ocean.
Because of a storm they died? Hm, then we should know to be careful next time if we decide to get a few fish in the future. Though I'm not sure if storms are that frequent around here. I hope so, for one.

---
I'm glad you like the story, I really am. I've got that rough patch sorted out and done, so it's probably going to be easier getting this down from now on. I do love detail, but not too much and not too little. There are times I write in first-person, and decide to go all-out with a description if it's of particular interest to them, or leave things as vague as possible to be strange and interesting, but leave room for questions.

shadow_universe: Well each topic is separated by a paragraph.... Makes it easier.

Demo

I tend to work better when music is playing. Even though sometimes I find myself getting distracted by a song and start dancing around. But generally it helps than if it's quiet. I don't like quiet. Even if the TV is on, it's still kind of quiet for me. I love classical music. Which most people don't know that about me haha.
Basement kitty versus Ceiling kitty! Whose stealth skills are better? O: Well unless the Ceiling kitty can crawl on the ceiling... I think basement kitty has this in the bag. Hahahaha.
Yes but only if they learned to keep their clothes on and not send disgusting pictures over Twitter. That would be lovely. >.>

That's just rude. I don't know what gives a person the right to judge or criticize a person based on looks. I tend to curse like a sailor. >.> But people don't know that until they've been around me for a while, but I always love their expression when they first hear me. I don't go around cussing at everything that moves either, but it slips, a lot. Hahaha. It is annoying when someone automatically judges you and think they know you before they even get a chance to even talk to you. I had this friend, she was really young. Fourteen at the time and she started going out with this nineteen year old. I advised her that I did not approve of this and that she should not go out with this girl. One, I was biased because I once had a small crush on her before I found out how old she was and wasn't really fond of her dating someone older, and second..I got a weird vibe from this chick... In the end I met the girl against my own wishes because my friend wanted me to meet her. And boy, was my impression on her right on the spot. She was way too possessive, bossy, bitchy, manipulative. She hated me the second she saw me. She called me a creepy adult, which I quickly got to her about it. She said I was the type to be on the internet all day because I didn't have a real life. I am not one for confrontation but this chick. She really pissed me off. After about a month, they ended breaking up because my friend realized what a bitch she really was. This girl wanted my friend to stop all ties with every female friend she had. My friend ended up being stalked by this girl for a while until she gave up. Now my friend is dating a girl who she actually has known for a long time and are in the same age group. I don't mind age differences but that was just too much.

I should probably wear Tobi down before his bath. But puppies and their energy. Half the time he gives me a bath rather than the other way around. Afterwards though he runs around all happy because he's clean, then proceeds to go play in the dirt. x.x
It was odd. We're not sure exactly what happen happen but that's what all we can think of. Minutes after the power went out for that split second we found the fish dead. :/ Yeah when we get storms our power goes out for a second. Which is odd to me. I think the area we live in is pretty crappy.

---
I think you've got the details just fine. I love mystery though. I like questioning what's going to happen next rather then knowing what's going to happen next. I like being informed as much as the character is. I don't want to know more or less than what he or she knows. At least that's what I like when I read a story. Not sure if that makes sense or not. >.<

Roza

As long as it's not something I would need to focus on such as writing or listening to someone, I could work very well while listening to music in the background. Although I do love silence. Helps to hear someone sneaking up behind me... Also, I can think easier without some background noise being lodged into a particular idea. Although people are generally surprised I like classical music, or Johnny Cash or CCR, anything like that.
Ceiling kitty lives in the ceiling. Thus being called Ceiling kitty. I'm not sure, I think Ceiling kitty would have won that battle. I would assume Ceiling kitty could crawl on the ceiling.
How could they possibly learn something so complex? Stop giving them so much to live up to, you know their feeble minds cannot handle it! Despite my agreeing with you there.

Because they consider themselves better than us based on outward appearance. Name brand is everything to them, status and popularity, who they know and who they shun. It's like that a bit with me. I do try not to use expletives, but it slips out sometimes. Although people are just so surprised when they hear me speak, being very... well, the way I write, and their mouths drop open and they start babbling some gibberish. I suppose I catch them off guard, being how I look and how I speak.
Hm, I see. I hate people like that. Sometimes we are right to judge someone immediately based on how they hold themselves or how they appear to be, or even on our general impression or feelings on who they are or who they might be. She must certainly have had a jealousy issue, especially toward you if she spat that out at you without knowing you. People like that are generally insecure, or have problems with dealing with someone else's thoughts because theirs were disregarded at a point in their life. Best to feel sorry for them while you hate them. But it's good she got out of your friend's life.

Yes, taking the time to wear puppies down is a lot of work. We have to make sure to keep the lawn clean and without those dreaded dry or dirt patches, so if they want to roll around to get dirty after a bath, they can just smell like grass instead of undoing our hard work.
Hm, strange indeed. Perhaps an electrical current ran through the tank instead of the lamp beside it. Or the lamp itself forced a current to the tank. I always hated the street we lived on, the power would threaten to go out if the wind blew a little too hard.

Oh, so you prefer the writing of third-person, limited style? It's the style that lets the reader know only as much as the star of the book knows, nothing more and nothing less. It's a bit like first-person, though in first person it's more of a narrative. Third person limited cannot see the thoughts or feelings of anyone other than the main character, while third person omniscient knows the thoughts and feelings of all characters, and can let the reader know what might be coming up later in the book. So it makes perfect sense. I do find myself leaning toward first person or third person limited quite a bit.

Demo

Right. That's understandable. I tend to enjoy doing things when listening to music, like chores. I'll have my iPod and dance around while doing the dishes, mopping or other stuff. Johnny Cash, omfgjafaldfk. He. Is. Amazing. First song that made me fall in love with his music was, and is still my favourite, Ghost Riders in the Sky. That man is amazing at singing Live unlike some artists today. All auto-tuned half the time. Hahaha.
I'd be paranoid if ceiling kitty was always up there... I would be hearing noises all the time, forgetting that a kitty lives in the ceiling. Hahaha.
Bahahaha, It's a funny thought, but sort of gross knowing it can be done. I don't know why they think they can get away with half the stuff. And by that I mean that it won't go through the public's eye.

I don't understand the whole status and popularity. I thought that it would go away once graduating from high school, only to find out that it was only the beginning. People say I speak well for being Hispanic, well no. When say I'm Hispanic they automatically think I am Mexican. While my father did come from Mexico, it does not mean that every Hispanic out there is Mexican. The ignorance of people constantly surprises me. I know many Hispanics who hate being asked if they're Mexican.
She was very insecure. She hated the fact that my friend would look up to me as a sister and sometimes as a second mother. I am very nurturing and caring with my friends, but she thought I was being a weirdo for hanging out with children. I'm just glad that the girl is out of her life. I did feel sorry for at some point, until she started using her disability to guilt people to feel sorry for her. I'm sorry, but if you're going to guilt trip me because you are disabled and supposedly raped. No. At first I believed her. Felt sorry for her. I truly did. Until a friend of hers, a real life friend came to us and told us that they were all lies. I don't feel bad for liars.

Well the problem is that we have section of sand in our backyard. So it's inevitable for him to not get dirty. Unless we let him dry in the front yard.
Yeah, I think that's what I was trying to say. I am not good at explaining things. Sometimes I don't even know how to get the words out. Electrical current. That makes much more sense. Hahaha.

Third person, yes. First person is good with me also, I guess it depends on the writer's style. I very much like how you write. If you were to ever write a book, be assured that I'd go out there and buy it! :3 And I'm not just trying to be nice, I really do like your writing. I don't want you to think I am saying this because you are a friend.

shadow_universe: Well each topic is separated by a paragraph.... Makes it easier.

I know ;)
Really makes it easier :lol:

I've rarely got headphones on in this house, if I'm the one doing chores. With the lot I live with? I need no distractions, or they might come up and attack me! I've found to like Johnny Cash, a few songs from him yet I cannot recall some of the titles right now for being both tired and distracted by things other than music. Although I agree to that, some 'artists' today sound horrible live. Sometimes not even autotune can save them.
Ceiling kitty is always watching you! Making sure you do good instead of bad, and not fool around. Which is why I prefer Basement kitty, I think. He only cares about you if you enter his domain.
Really. I dislike it, but what can I do about it? What can many of us do about it, especially those who are aware? Nothing, as we have little influence on the world and the people around.

Oh, of course it's only the beginning. Only now you have the choice to ignore it and make your own path. It's what I always did, actually, though I was called out for being different, rather than the same as everyone else, while so many others kept molding themselves to fit some image of what they were 'supposed to be' rather than what they should be. I hate that people have an automatic assumption of where someone is from based on a general knowledge of a word. My family is terribly racist. As a teenager and an adult I would just sit in a corner and shake my head in shame at their short-sighted bigotry, thoughtless racial slurs, as they hated anyone with skin darker than theirs. All they seem to see is the stereotype of a certain race or creed, without acknowledging anything anyone has done for the positive, that has changed history.
She lied about that? It makes me sick, how people can do something like that, while disregarding the people out there who actually were raped and abused, who had to deal with the fear and humiliation, the threats that they would never be believed if they went to anyone for help, who had to deal with it on a weekly or daily basis at home or who were attacked in one terrifying sweep one evening and left permanently scarred. I just want to grab them and shake them, but I would never wish something like that on them, to feel so alone and helpless.

Well, you could always... blow dry him? Would be faster, but I'm not sure how that particular puppy would react.
Not a problem. I can figure out what you are trying to say just fine. And can help you find a better way of putting it. I'm just glad I figured something plausible out!

Oh, I'm glad you do like my writing enough to actually buy it if I were to publish it someday! But if I ever were to, I think I would have to have someone else do so for me as to keep my name and location as quiet as possible. And I would hate for anyone to say something just because I'm a friend. I only want the truth, even from the closest of friends. But I think I could start a first-person story as well... Something just for you! What do you like to read, if I may ask?

I am here. :) Things are looking better. I just have to look at a place tomorrow and see how it works. :)

Demo

Oh hahaha. Well I just live with the parents and younger siblings. And they know I don't like surprises like that. >.< I startle to easily, hahaha.
He's got some pretty good songs. I don't like autotune, unless it's used to make funny parody songs.
Ceiling kitty makes me paranoid! *Flail.* Basement kitty sounds a lot better. o 3o
I hate that we have little influence, and sometimes those who do have the power to influence aren't exactly role model material.

I didn't know that in high school. I honestly thought that I only had endure that crap for four years and then I'd be done with that... but boy was I wrong. My eyes really opened up after graduating and going to my little community college. Even online I realized that status was everywhere. Then I started watching the news every now and then and saw the same thing. Media plays a big part in all this status and superiority that goes on. But I haven't changed that much, I don't think. Just for the better, I hope. I'm still the same dorky, nerdy girl as I was in high school, but slightly a bit more open minded and aware of my surroundings. Living with a racist family, that's just horrible. I know some racist people. It's not fun. Especially when the "joke" is about a certain race you happen to be.
Yes. She most certainly did. Pissed everyone off. I knew there was something fishy, mainly because most girls who actually are raped don't go about shouting it out loud. She also liked groping and stuff. But I let is slide, until the truth came out. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone either, but pretending to have been is really low.

He'd probably try attacking it. Hahaha. He has actually destroyed my mom's sprinklers for the backyard. We came home one day and mom went out to turn on the water and she noticed that they weren't working. She was not too happy about that. xD
That's good to know! Sometimes I find it hard to express by using words.

Ah I see. Well as long as I know that the book is by you under another name is completely fine. :3 I don't like it when my friends think they're being nice when I want them to be honest. I mean if I'm asking for an honest opinion I don't want them to be nice. Haha.
Just for me? o 3o Oh gosh. Well I love suspense, mystery, intricate characters. I also like unsuspected twists in plots. Those are the kinds of things that get me really into reading a good book or any story.


Lizzy
Hey there! Good to hear things are starting to look up for you! o:
Good luck with the place tomorrow. :3

Roza:

The youngest in my little group is nine years old, but much older in character than anything. She and her brother, the youngest adult at twenty-two, are one and the same, extremely smart. Although I do startle very easily. Too easily, really, even at the slightest of thing.
Oh, I like parody songs. Whenever I hear that I think of Weird Al, who I also love. One of my weaker states...
I do agree. No Ceiling kitty at all. Basement kitty is only interested in your soul.
No, not at all. It seems those with influence are all celebrities and they are... not good influences. At all. There are some, of course, but they do well, meaning they never gain the top news stories and such.

I recognized it when certain people would gather in a certain place, day after day, without fail. Almost like a ritual. It was a voluntary segregation of cliques and general population of the school itself, as though they had no idea what they were doing and felt it was normal. Of course, it was, and though there was little place for outcasts and strangers in any group, we had our own places. Some would go off on their own, some would form a group of three or four.
Yes, racist family. They mainly hate 'mexicans' and blacks, with little room for any exceptions, and 'mexicans' also groups anyone from South America. I hate how they are, I always did. I mean, I'm not a complete stick when it comes to humor of any kind, so I can let some go, but if they get too far... It's just a line you don't cross.
Well you know, most people who are molested and raped never go about screaming it to the world. I mean, it's happened to me, throughout my childhood, but it would never be the grounds for sympathy or to get pitying looks from others. I never even insinuate it unless it's the subject of a deeper conversation, and if I do, it's not to gain the sad little looks from other people. If anything it's to bring a doubter or fool into the light of the reality of the whole thing, how it affects someone years, even decades after it's happened.

Hm, probably then. I'm not sure about some dogs, really. Odd things, they are. I feel sorry for your sprinklers. I believe it was Gene who decided to grab a water hose by the top while it was going, and he got a good mouth wash. After that, he decided to destroy it. Bad dog.

I will send them to a friend of mine, who will help me with that. If I manage to get one published through her, I will most certainly tell you about it! I'm glad you like them. I'm also glad you are speaking the truth, as it's all I wish from those I consider friends.

Of course, just for you! Something... customized, a bit. As long as it stays away from a couple particular generas, I might be able to fix one up. Something long or short-winded, with intricate characters... I think I'm good at unpredictable plot twists.



Lizzy: Good luck with your doings. I hope it works out.

Demo

My brother is fifteen going on sixteen, and my sister is fourteen, I'll be twenty two this November. :c I feel...old sometimes. Hahahaha. I remember when I was sixteen and wanted to be an adult. Now that I am one, I want to be sixteen again. >.<
I startle way too easily, and they know that. Sometimes they take advantage of that but sometimes they get me when I'm in a bad mood haha. Weird Al is funny.! His songs make me laugh so much. My soul?! D: Uhm.. uhh Casper took it! *shifty eyes* Celebrities these days. The fame has gotten to everyone's heads. I've seen parents try so desperately to make their child famous. I don't think forcing a kid to act or sing is healthy.

I didn't really belong to a group in high school, I saw that cliques were forming when I started my Junior year, the year that "Emo' became another stereotype. It took me a long time to figure what an emo was. Hahaha. But I tried getting along with everyone, that only caused problems and drama. I don't understand why people hate 'mexicans', I mean so what if people of South America come here and do the jobs that the people of America don't want to do? Hmm? Sure, deport them all but who is going to do all the work you refuse to do, just because you don't get paid enough. And it's just not Hispanics, others from different countries come here to work for a better life. Although, I do understand there are some lazy people out there, but it's not just the 'mexicans'. I also don't understand the hate on blacks. A lot base them off of awful stereotypes.
Yeah, it's not something you should go around bragging about nor something to use to gain pity from others. I'm not a fan of the subject, but if someone is going to cry wolf that's just not fair for a person who was actually molested or raped. They don't have the courage to come forth and say anything, and to have someone just spat out lies about that is like an insult to someone who has been through that. It's not exactly an easy thing to admit too or talk about freely like that.

Mom had no choice but to buy new ones, this time she bought ones that were plain and low to the ground. Gene sounds like a funny dog. It did not approve of the hose doing that to him. Hahaha.

Good good! If I were to buy said book that you might publish in the future, could it be possible to mail it to you to sign it. o 3o Or give to your friend to give to you to sign in? Hahaha. I am, blunt sometimes. Too honest for my own good. I have learned that not everyone appreciates it though. I have very... highly sensitive friends.

Oooo. That would be amazing if you did. Then I'd print it out, hahaha. That way I would have a hard copy of it. Sometimes I read better on paper than through my computer screen. Probably one reason why I won't buy a Kindle. o3o
But what ever you are comfortable writing is fine with me. Hahaha Well at least I'm not asking you to write some crazed fan fiction or something. Hahahaha. I'm not a huge fan of it, but I do find myself reading one or two once in awhile.

Roza

Old!? I'm twenty-seven years old. But then again, I feel twenty years older. I could not wait to get out of my teenage years and finally get to where I could be away from my damnable family. Nothing better than being free of their burden, yet living in the same town as them.
I'm always on watch. Always looking for someone around a corner, someone under some furniture, in a bush. Really it's a paranoia mechanism that keeps me glancing around no matter where I go. I do like Weird Al, but I dislike Lady Gaga for her making him go through the wronger because he asked permission to do a parody of one of her songs, but she wanted to see the lyrics then hear the song! Which, he said in his blog, was odd to him, because it was her song, just with different lyrics. Then she said no. I commend his patience, because I would have tracked her down and shoved that song down her throat.
Casper? Casper is a good ghost! You cannot hide your soul from Basement kitty! I agree with that. Stop forcing your kid to be in the limelight because you could never make it! There are some celebrities that have good morals and I like them for it, but most... not good.

We had goth, the early types, but no emo. Then when I got to hearing the word I had to squint and stare at whoever used it and ask what the hell they were talking about! Then I felt older than ever. I was difficult to classify, because I acted one way, looked a different way, spoke another way, and had friends who were the exact opposite of me. So I was a conundrum, I suppose.
Heh, I see that. Americans complaining because Mexicans and others from other countries are taking their jobs? But then they don't want to do the jobs we are forcing the immigrants to do? How about a contrast of interests? I just hate how America thinks, and when I heard that new law in Arizona I nearly flipped. How could they be so short-sighted? Targeting Mexicans and anyone who 'looked Mexican' and asking them for proof of residency? What is this!? But I've been noticing that those harsh stereotypes are becoming less abundant. After all, they originated from how the majority of the general race or population acted, but now that the years are moving along, we are changing.
I think if they were bringing it up or bragging about it like that, I would be immediately suspicious. It's something you would rather keep to yourself, especially at that age, although perhaps it's just me, but after a while, I got to where I will just tell someone, if they poke enough. But if someone just uses it to make others feel bad, they should be slapped around a little and brought into the light of the world.

Oh, Gene. He, I think, is the dumbest dog of the lot. He sees something moving and decides to get it. Even if it's shooting water. I'm not sure what goes on in that little dog brain, but it's got to short-circuit halfway through a thought.

Hm... I would have my friend send it to me, then send it back to her and have her send it to you. ot as easy, but still. Oh, blunt are you? As am I. And I'm glad I have friends who can take a lot.

All right then. Let me ask you a few questions, yes? First of all: Do you prefer fantasy over reality, or mystery and suspense over direct horror and fear-inducing?

Demo

I poke fun at myself because I don't look my age. Just two days ago I was at Eye Masters with my mom and siblings. My sister was getting her first pair of glasses. So while my mom was talking to my dad over the phone about prices, the lady started making a conversation. I said that I didn't start wearing glasses until I started college. And she goes "College?! *looks at me strangely* Well, how old are you, if you don't mind me asking?" I replied with twenty one accompanied by a weird look back and she says that she thought I was fifteen! I mean I thought maybe seventeen or eighteen... but fifteen? o.o So I just say I'm old or feel old to make up for my looking younger than I am. Haha.
Oh I heard about that.! Well that he asked if he could do a parody on one of her songs, but I didn't know the whole story. I liked some of her songs, jut not her as a person or her fashion. It's so odd. I mean.. meat?! As a dress? You could feed a lot of starving children with that! D:
Oh noes. D: I don't think basement kitty would want my soul. I know that's what I'm saying! I mean if the child wants to do those things fine, that's one thing. But to actually force them is just wrong and simply not a good idea.

I was too afraid to ask what an emo was. Hahaha. Then scene came along, and honestly I don't know what a scene kid is either. Conundrum, I like that word. I first heard it in the movie The Ring. I had to look it up, because one I didn't know what it meant and two, I had never heard that word before.
Americans like to complain about a lot of things. Never really satisfied with anything. The whole law in Arizona baffled me. I couldn't believe they would do something like that. I think Americans need to get off their fat lazy butts and actually do something productive instead of complaining about so much shit that shouldn't even be a major concern to them.
I should have gone with my instincts but I didn't. I didn't want to start the drama. I find it embarrassing and humiliating to talk about something like that. I don't think I could give a straight answer if asked directly. I'd beat around the bush and change the subject. I'm not sure what became of that girl, nor do I care enough to find out. I am just glad that we don't have to deal with her crap anymore.

Awww, poor Gene.! Hahaha. Sounds like my first dog, Knight. He'd bark and chase the birds that were minding their own business on the trees. Or he would run around in the back yard chasing wasps or mosquitoes or other flying insects. He also liked anything that dangled. He was a funny yet not so smart dog.

Sounds good to me. Either way, I'll get that autograph on the book. *shifty eyes* Yes, blunt. Not always, sometimes I remember to think before I speak. Haha. Other times I just say exactly what is on my mine unfiltered and uncensored. Also something my ex's had a problem with. Luckily when I write or type the thought process is much slower so I have time to try to say something that won't offend the other person. I still try to be honesty but without offending which is hard to do either way. Haha.

I prefer Reality, definitely. And definitely horror and fear-inducing. I am a horror genre fan. Whether it be in books, movies, short stories or a TV show. I scare easily but I think that's just what makes it more fun to read or watch.

Roza

I've always seemed to look a bit younger than what I am as well. Not that it stops my body from wanting to tell me it's forty-seven rather than twenty-seven. I love how that woman reacted, too funny! When I was younger, I was oddly small, always noted for being younger than I was. At about fifteen I really shot up there, though, so I was an especial oddity then. I suppose it could be used as a contradiction, though, to say you feel old yet look fifteen.
I'm not sure I recall the song... Oh, it's "Born This Way". Weird Al wanted to make a parody called "Preform This Way". He always asks an artist if he can use their basic idea and such, and she (or her agents if you want to call them that) wrote back and said she wanted to see the lyrics. So he wrote them, sent them to her, and he got a reply saying she needed to hear the song before she could say anything about it. So he decided to go on and record it, and sent it off. After that, she said no. Made me hate her even more. I mean, I can stand behind someone's style, their song styles. But when you put someone through writing and recording a song only to turn them down? Made me hate her. And I really could hardly believe it when she showed up in a meat dress. Not only was it disgusting, but they dried it to preserve it! Indeed, so many could have used that meat, but it just went to waste.
He wants everyone's soul! He tries to trick you into giving it up.
Ah, that reminds me of Toddlers and Tiaras. That show itself makes me sick. One little girl in particular stands out, because she has so much promise of being a very talented gymnast, which is what she wants to be, but her mother wants her to preform in pageants.

I was never afraid to ask anyone anything. Which is really what got me disliked, my straightforward attitude and cynical, blunt truth-telling. I hate scene. It's too much of an exaggeration of stupid styles. There! I said it.
Yes, I use conundrum a lot. People give me a strange look since I suppose it's so under-used.

I hate complainers. There are so many of them now, so many stupid people in the country, only multiplying and getting stupider. Whatever happened to the land of the free? It's become so restricted now, so watchful, prying into everything we do, everything we think. I thought this place was supposed to be a refuge for those of different backgrounds and races, free for anyone to come to and make a life, but now? Now we are weakening, trying to find a reason and someone to blame rather than blaming ourselves! It reminds me of a Dwight Yoakam song called Blame the Vain. Blame everyone else until there is no one else.
There will always be drama when dealing with people like that. Whether it's put off or immediate, it will happen some time or another. I feel it's best to rip that bandage off in a whole, get it over with. Just like if someone tries to pry into my past, I'll tell them to make them shut up. It just gets to me after a while, so persistent they are to figure out my 'mysterious past'.

One of our dogs in the past liked to go outside. He would lie in the grass and watch the birds and squirrels eat his food without doing anything about it. I was never sure about that dog.

Oh, that sounds ominous... If I ever get something published, I will get it to you somehow! Although despite my bluntness, I'm rarely, if ever offended. Really I have no room to be since I don't really try to censor myself. Be honest, some say, yet then they get offended for your being honest.

Hm... Reality... I usually try to do as close to reality as I possibly can! Believe me, I do try. Actually, I've got a skeleton of a particular place I would hope you will read. Something set there might work for as realistic as possible, since it's what I try to do while also incorporating as much reality as I can. It's right here.

Demo

Sometimes my body just wants to ache for no apparent reason. Granted I don't sleep in the most comfortable positions, but sheesh. Her reaction was indeed funny and most interesting. I got a little offended when she asked if I was really their sister because I didn't look like them. I'm sorry but a seven year difference is a lot. That and I look more like my dad rather than my mom like my brother and sister. Seriously? She made him go through all that. Well I don't think he cared because he actually went ahead and posted it. My boyfriend found it on Youtube. I saw it, and omgosh, the video is hilarious.! Hahahha.
Not my soul.!~ Ahhh.! Basement kitty will have to be a real good trickster if he wants a chance at my soul.
I haven't seen that show actually. I don't get pageants for little girls, babies even. Five year old girls should not be wearing heavy make-up, fake eyelashes and heels. I think it sends the wrong message to them at a very young age. Especially if parents put it through their heads that beauty is everything.

I didn't start coming out of my shell until after high school. When I realized that I couldn't be shy all the time if I wanted to survive in the real world. Then I started being like how I was when I was a child. Blunt and straightforward. I changed a lot when I started middle school, I ended up losing a part of myself. But I found me again haha. I have naturally big hair, but after the whole scene thing I was forced to control my hair because people thought I was pretending to be a scene kid. I mean, how do you go about pretending to be something. Wasn't my fault I had big messy hair. Lol.
I like words like that. Their fun to say but sometimes if I say it too much it stops making sense. o 3o

I complain when after I attempt to do something after a while and it doesn't work out, but some people. They complain way before they know anything about what they're complaining for. Everything is restricted, censored and it's all hush hush. Even discipline for children is restricted. You spank a child and it's called abuse. Now if you smack him hard enough to leave a bruise or throw him across the room, that's abuse. Americans find it easier to blame someone else because they think that they won't have to deal with the consequences.
I don't know why people are so interested in someone's life so much that they are willing to bug you about it. They have no respect for the other person's private life.

Oh wow , hahaha. I hate it when birds eat my dog's food. Because first it's one bird, then another. Soon our fence has about six or seven birds waiting.

No no, not ominous. *Flail* I don't want to sound threatening or stalker-ish. Hahaha. Yeah I don't understand why someone asks for my honest opinion and then they get upset because I didn't say what they wanted to hear. I mean if that was the case then they are asking the wrong person, Hahah.

I will most definitely be reading this! Sounds really interesting. That Targus game sounds interesting as well. o 3o Sounds like an extremely rough game though. Hahaha.

Today I went to look at the place with the family member that's going to live there as well. We just have to get paperwork filled out and everything. Although I didn't know we needed XYZ, while we only had X and Z. You get what I mean though. So now I have to do some things tomorrow morning. :S It will work out though. :D!

That's great Lizzy. :3 Glad to know things are working out for you!

Roza

How strange, since this morning my shoulders were killing me! And still are, mind you, but it's dulling. I suppose it's the way I slept. Not the best way.
Really. I mean, just because you look different than your family, hardly means they are not your real family. I was always asked about it and of course, only to be expected since my family is shorter with light hair and eyes. A friend of mine looks nothing like her parents despite being their daughter, and is always asked the same thing. A bother, it is.
Yes, she made him go through all that. Although I should suppose something changed, if they made the video anyway. In the beginning it was only a blank screen with the lyrics, and it was a while back.
Yes, your soul! He will find a way to get it, not to worry. Basement kitty is well-known for his trickery.
I've seen a single episode. I could hardly believe these mothers and, sometimes, fathers. Exploiting their children, some who want to do other things, just because they were too ugly to win a pageant! Makes me sad to see how some of those little girls, and a couple little boys, have already been corrupted beyond belief. I actually heard a rumor not long ago about a parent using Botox on her kid. I think it was debunked, though.

Yes, one cannot survive if they are terrified to speak to someone in the real world. I've got a social anxiety that really shows itself around a group larger than five people, but can eventually get through it once I know the people. Ah, naturally big hair. That was the case when I got out of the house and away from my father's dreaded scissors. He always cut my hair to both save money and make me look 'less like a bitch'. But when he did, my hair would find gravity to be nonexistent, and would go anywhere it wanted to. While still growing it out, people would come up and ask me "Aren't you a little old to try to look scene?" So I would slap them in the back of the head and walk away. I'm not sure how people can 'pretend' to look some way. I mean, if you want to make fun of the look, go ahead, but you would really have to go all-out, which I think is impossible because it's already a ridiculously-extravagant appearance.
I think any word is like that, actually. If you say something enough times and over and over, it seems to lose meaning and you wonder... what does it really mean? Why does it mean what it means? And how did we get that word anyway?

Oh, those complainers I can deal with. Anyone would start to complain if something will not work over and over. It's the general complainers, those who hate something before they know it, label something before learning about it. Everything seems to be overly-censored when it hardly really needs to be, while other things are exploited and shown for all the world to see when it should be a little toned down. And these kids! They can get away with anything with the right words. Threatening to call the police or child services on their parents for the smallest things. I know what abuse is, and I know what discipline is. There is a huge difference in smacking a kid to correct their stupid behavior and body slamming them in public. Some parents, though. It's borderline.
People. They want to know everything about someone, especially if that someone says it's something they would rather not know. Then when you tell them, they get offended for how bad it is! Like they did not want to know it!

Usually our tree was weighted down with birds waiting for us to feed the dog. Then he would eat a bit, then lie about six feet away and watch the birds swarm.

Not ominous? All right then. I'll lower that guard of mine a bit. Really though, people are too sensitive. Honest opinion means "Tell me what I want to hear!" And when you tell them otherwise... a whine-fest goes down.

So you like Targus? I'll be sure to have a plot around the game then. I generally dislike sports, but when it's something I make up, something with my rules and a basic object of the game, it's a good writing.



Lizzy

I agree with Roza, it's good to hear things are going better now!

Demo

Yeah most of my aches are caused by sleeping in awkward positions and last throughout most of the day.
It annoys me more when they see my sister and ask if we're really related because her skin tone is dark and mine is light.
I am a thousand percent sure she is my sister. I was there when she was born. I remember because I was excited that I was getting a baby sister. Hahaha.
Well I'm not sure what changed, because the title didn't. The video and lyrics is just a parody on GaGa herself though.
Bahahaha! We'll see how good Basement kitty really is.!
Botox? Really? That's way over board. They're children! They don't need that crap. Ugh. Next they'll be getting plastic surgery, that is if it's not being done already.

I am not a fan of giant groups of people, unless of course I know most of them. Even then though, I try to get away from a big group. Yes, big unruly hair. Thick hair to top it off. It hates being told what to do. Unless hairspray is involved. Luckily anti-frizz serum was made. Or I would still be having trouble with it. I can understand him wanting to save money. My mom tried cutting my brother's hair when he was younger. He did not approve haha. But that second so called reason, is complete crap.
I'm not sure how one would go about pretending. I'm not a huge fan of make-up, and huge eyelashes or mascara. Sometimes they remind me of trolls, with the big hair and tiny bodies. I just keep waiting for on to tip over because of how big the hair is.
Yes! I've asked those questions when I repeat a word to the point where it sounds foreign to me. Then it becomes odd.

They don't have a good grasp on what should be allowed and what shouldn't be. And censoring just about everything is not the way to do it. That won't help anyone. Probably one of the reasons why a lot of people are so close-minded and ignorant. Kids make it hard for some caring parents to actually discipline them. Sometimes we blame the parent for kids who act out all the time, but sometimes it's the kids who abuse the system. I know my mom wasn't afraid to punish us when needed. And to this day she isn't scared to put my brother and sister in their place if they get out of line. My sister is going through a phase where she wants to rebel against everything and give my mom attitudes all the time.
That irritates me! I warn them, that it's personal and more than likely something they don't want to hear, but no. They keep poking at it until I am forced to tell them then they freak out and yell at me for telling them. I don't talk about my personal life unless I am comfortable talking about it with certain people. I have to trust someone before I say something that I normally don't speak about.

That's how it was with our fence. It would fill up with birds, waiting. But ever since we got Tobi we don't have that problem anymore. Which is good, because no more dog food is wasted.

No no. I don't want to sound like that. >.< I want to be a friend, not a freaky stalker hahahaha. I have two close friends who are honest with me. They tell me straight out what should be said not what I want to hear when I ask for their opinion. But then this one friend, she's way too sensitive. Can't say one negative thing because she flips out.

Yeah, it sounds like it would be something I'd like to watch in real life actually. Although I don't know how that would play out. Hahah. I'm not one for sports myself, well except soccer and tennis. Especially tennis, I like playing it.

A lot of families have varying skin tones. People are getting dumber nowadays. Always an exciting time getting a baby sister or brother, or new family member in general. Did it stay that way after some years?
Oh, of course. Perhaps this is why Gaga said no in the first place. But if she cannot laugh at herself, she should go crawl in a hole.
Most certainly, we shall see.
Well, I'm not sure if it was real. Like I said, it was said that one of the mothers was giving her kid Botox, but it was never proven. It's already enough to throw them out there in those ridiculous getups, anything else is just adding wood to the fire. I would completely lose faith in humanity if it were revealed that those kids were getting plastic surgery. It's scraping rock bottom with that.

I hate big groups. Always did. I usually stayed to the back of a big group, whether I know them or not. I suppose it's the ball of energy it is that bothers me.
Oh, thick hair. Does it eat combs like mine used to? Ah, but no, it was the excuse he used on my mother so she would deal with it. He just wanted to humiliate me just a little more by making me look like an idiot. I had an uncle that used to be a hairdresser and who would always cut the family's hair for free. I think if you want to cut hair, you should have some kind of practice or training.
Nor am I. I mean, it's difficult enough to try to make fun of it by example. Always hated makeup in general, no matter what you are. Really, sometimes someone needs a bit, but not to pour it on to make themselves a mask to hide who they are from the world.
I've lost meaning of a lot of words before. Using them so many times, I forget what they even mean and they start to sound strange.

Them putting so much censoring on everything is weakening our capacity to handle deep or harsh things. It's making the younger ones lose their minds, without the ability to handle anything that goes over their head or requires a little extra thought. And indeed they abuse the system, threatening their parents when they don't want to do something they need to do. I did only what was told of me without a second thought or word of protest, because I knew what would happen if I tried to back talk. These kids need a good threat or two to put them back in their place. And now I feel so old...
I do believe the most-used sentence I use when people keep pecking at me is "I've already told you, you don't want to hear it! But you are so damned persistent I guess..." And then it tapers off to whatever they wanted to know. Then they get annoyed and wander off in their little haze of stupidity. I've not been able to feel many emotions anymore, such as embarrassment or fear or sympathy on some occasions, so it's not as much as a problem to talk about something like what has happened in the past.

We eventually started feeding ours in the early morning, and one of us would stay outside to keep the birds away so he would eat a bit more. Then again, we had a little empty shed that smaller animals would get in, so we just put it in there and scare away the squirrels and raccoons away.

I certainly hope you are not a stalker! You would have a difficult time figuring out where to start, I do believe. I do hate the sensitive ones, and it's especially annoying when a girl in an abomination of an outfit asks other female friends if she looks good and they say yes. She should know they are lying so they look better! I say if you want an honest reply, ask a male friend. They will tell you the truth and spare you any more embarrassment.

I watch episodes play out in my head all the time. It's fun, even though I'm making them do what I want. I promise, if this were a real sport, I would be a player! Wait, what did you mean by 'how it would play out'?
