    Lmao I've never heard that saying before! It's awesome. Mind if I borrow it for one of my future stories?

    Oh, nooo the bitch has stayed out of my way for a while now (:

    Yeah, an unofficial swap! And I'll read that as soon as I can.
    Yes I hope so, I wrote that chapter nearly a year ago and I realized that's when my writing was pretty crappy. I want to fix that.

    Do I have to read another story in order to fully understand Who is Who? I'm looking at it and I'm pretty sure I'm missing something

    Yeah I'm the original owner yet I get accused, unbelievable!

    Lol you got that right, life can really be a bitch sometimes. (:

    Yep, because when you're levelheaded you think more clearly and can produce the better solution than the other person. So, good job with that!

    Yes, I've love to try and make amends with you. Just tell me which story and/or chapters so I may read them right away (:

    I don't have a story I want revised yet, but I'm currently working on it. Would you mind if I asked you to review it once I think it's ready?

    No you are not, but I only meant to use them as an example. Like read my first comment on your profile again (if you want to) and just imagine I'm being monotone.

    Yes that's true, this is making so much sense to me now

    And sorry I wasn't sure if you were uncertain or making a statement because you seemed really sure of yourself.

    Ohh! I get that now, before I was like "What spaces?" I thought you were referring to the dashes

    The hour? It's 1am where I live. But yeah, I guess you're right.

    And thank you thats very kind. Yes, I did consider that but unfortunately the thief? or whatever you want to call her wasn't on Mibba. She was on a smaller website. I only found out because someone had accused me of stealing her work. Can you believe it? -_- I cleared the confusion and found out what was really happening.

    The other website has really gone down hill. So I just deleted my stories, and tried to deactivate my account- I did that when I first found out. I'll admit I was too hotheaded to think about reporting them.

    But thank you for your advice, I'll make sure to follow it

    And I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. I've received criticism but nothing to that level of honesty, so it felt more like at attack. Again, I'm really sorry for that! I hope that I wasn't too much of a bitch? And if I was, you deserve the medal of Levelheadedness.

    Sorry for taking up your time, and thank you for clearing all of that up for me (:

    Sorry, I'm sleep deprived, seventeen, and packing to leave to University... I'm trying to say that I am especially arrogant and more ignorant than I should be. My bad :/

    But if I was yellling I would've put a bunch of "!!!" everywhere, if you knew me personally you would've known that meant it as more in a "meh. Whatever it happens" way. I think that the word is nonchalant? But its okay, I misinterpreted your comment, and you mine. It happens!

    "Not really anything to steal in that run down stinking hell-whole?
    or is it the description of how run down this estate is?"
    I have no idea what the first question means. And in the second one are you talking about the building my character just bought?

    "Try to live up to the last line of the chapter?" Are you suggesting for me to fix the ending? or that the ending is alright?

    "Guess the vocabulary goes well with this estate, and the state in which it is in?" Um. Huh? Since your other comments are also in question format I can't tell if this is a question or a suggestion to write the state in my story?

    Ps. I was on a previous website, called Quizilla. It was the first time I put my stories out there and both my stories were stolen. The other author changed the name of the story and characters and tried to pass it off as her own. It was also happening on this site too, that why I put that up so the girl that was snatching them off of here will know that I'm not allowing it. Thankfully after posting that she deleted her story(:

    Thanks for your comment swap. I guess?
    I'm not really sure. But word of advice: if your going to edit someone else's work be gracious about it. Especially if you're going to correct their spelling when your own is... bad. As I read your comment it felt like you were attacking rather than helping me- that's not what the comment swap is about. But whatever, it happens.

    I also did not fully understand what you were trying to say, I only got some tid bits of it and I will try to put them to use.

    PS. I may seem whining to you, but you may have not have your stories, your own hard work, stolen from you and passed on as some strangers. So if my defensiveness came off as whining... Oops, oh well.

    thanks for the comment on east avenue, i appreciate your honesty about it. i don't understand what you mean by- "this? I finished ' is ' this?" I finished ' ? Missed poining out, when the speach finished? or it's part of the speach, it's very confusing.- but i'm glad you took the time to read my story.

    I meant that you just chose one chapter and that single chapter all by itself doesn't really make sense.

    Thank you very much for your comment on my story Goldblood. I appreciate you taking the time to read one of my chapters--though to be perfectly honest, the randomly chosen chapter was probably the worst to just hop into. It's a very short piece--not even really a chapter--describing the characters being sucked through a wormhole to another dimension. Hopefully that explains the bits you were confused about!

    Yea i do always read the comments that have been posted before both for help and so that I don't say the some as them. I don't really so the differences between the two forms of English like you do. Kinda a cool that you make the most of them, but doesn't cause some problems later on? It's weird living where I live because we see the American way all the time and have to use the British way in School and work. And to top it all off at home and with friends we speak a Scottish form of it. Get a bit messy at times lol.

    But Americans can get really rude when you use the British form. Can I ask, what was it like for you learn English? I mean bid you have learn American or British, or both?

    Well your suggestions were helpful, as they let me see where I've used the wrong word simply by thinking one thing while typing the other. Vocabulary is the one of the easiest to spot out yet at times it can be tricky, depending on the context the word is used in and sometimes things can get lost in translation. I do understand and agree that some stories can be hard to comment on, I've found myself struggling to write some comments. The most annoying thing on mibba is spelling because of the whole 'British English, American English' thing.

    Please don't forget that all help is welcome, even if it's limited.

    Thank you for the comment you left on my story, I'm sorry for taking so long to reply to you. Your comment was of some help, although I do feel as if every sentence wasn't a 'question' it would have been of more help. Some of the type-O's were cause by insomnia as I sat typing passed four AM without a weeks sleep however that is no excuse.

    Again I think for your helpful comment and I do hope you could have found some way to enjoy it, if not fair be it.

    But it makes no sense to choose a chapter from the middle of the story and say that it's confusing. That's why it's confusing. And you could have just read chapter 1 and nothing else and that would have been fine. When I do a comment swap, I don't start in the middle of someone's story; I start at the beginning and if I like it, I keep reading. Otherwise I just comment on the first chapter.
    That's all I wanted to say.

    On my story, Confusion and Desperation, you started with Chapter 8. If you'd started with the first chapter like a normal person, you wouldn't have been so confused. As a comment swapper, you should start at the beginning of someone's story so that your comment will be valid and helpful. Your comment was neither of those.

    Each paragraph wasn't supposed to be like another chapter, rather a stream of consciousness. She was never an infant. I thought I made it quite clear that she was between 15 and 16. I didn't write the summary. They were lyrics. It wasn't supposed to make sense.

    The title goes with the summary and a piece of the story. You'd have to finish it all if you want answers, haha. But you don't have to.

    You just have a few quick errors on John Doe. None of it's really a big deal. Your English is actually mostly right; sometimes some sentences sound a little awkward, but it's mostly grammatically correct. I'm not sure if I really saw any connection between this story and the others of yours I've read though. Was I supposed to have? It's possible I missed something. Also, yes, the name John Doe does have some odd connotations, although I'm not sure if it's actually ironic in this context. It's mostly the name given to unidentified bodies or hospital patients.

    It's very easy to get confused in a story if you start on chapter 8. I didn't really appreciate your comment...
