Five Biggest Pet Peeves In Writing.

I LOVE to read. There's no doubt about it. And I've read a lot of books as a consequence, some good, some bad, and some in-between. Heck, reading is partially what got me into writing in the first place. But, that isn't to say that there are a few things writers seem to do that really irk or just flat-out irritate to no end.1. Excessive or "purple" prose.For those of you who don't know, prose is...

My Favorite Music Groups.

The purpose of this journal is to simply express my tastes in music, for those of you who are curious. That, and I’m out of ideas for a journal. Plus, I’m also hoping that through this journal, I can discover some awesome music groups I have probably never heard of before. Now, this list is in NO particular order, meaning, I don’t favor one over the other. I’ll also include my favorite...

My Favorite Cartoons Growing Up.

Okay, I’ll admit, I’m 18 and I still watch cartoons. Why? Who knows? Maybe I’m just a kid like that. I’ve also always had an interest in animation, whether it be western or eastern. I mean, I wouldn’t make a career out of it, but that’s because I can’t draw to save my life. Well, this journal is in dedication to all my favorite cartoons that I had watched growing up, and played a...

Well, I Got Into An Argument With My Mom...

How is it possible that I can love my family so much, and yet they still irritate me to no end? Does anyone else ask themselves that after an argument with their folks or after some other sort of fall-in? Yeah, as you can tell from the title, I had recently got into a pretty bad tiff with my mother. Believe it or not, this is actually a pretty common argument we find ourselves in. Well, since I...

Why I Love Fantasy.

It’s no mystery that I LOVE fantasy/adventure, whether it be in games, books, movies, comics, etc. However, I never really explained WHY I love it so much. Well, I think it’s about time that I do, since I’ve been praising the genre so much (not that I’m dissing other genres, mind you. For instance, I love Lovecraft’s works). Well, the reason why I love fantasy/adventure so much boils...

The Realism in Fantasy.

Good morning everyone! Okay, so, as some of you may or may not know, I wish to be an accomplished writer (I’m assuming like most of you here on Mibba), and I wish to write fantasy/adventure. Why? Because, let’s face it, I LOVE fantasy. I love everything about it. I love to read stories of brave, epic heroes, of magical, faraway lands, and of epic battles between good and evil. I can’t get...

Pac-man on Google.

Ah, Pac-man. Who doesn’t love the gluttonous little ball of pixels? Amongst avid gamers such as myself, he is considered a legend. I mean, where would the games of today be without him? Let’s face it, Pac-man started a revolution in gaming. And today, in celebration of his 30-year anniversary, you can play Pac-man on Google by just clicking the logo. I’ve played quite a bit…And, well, I...

Why I Prefer Pirates Over Ninjas.

So, many people asked me why I prefer pirates over ninjas after looking at my profile. I give them a list of reasons, but they weren’t very elaborate or in-depth. So, these are the in-depth reasons why I prefer blackguards over black garbs any day.To me, pirates are the embodiment of freedom. Think about it, it’s just you and the wind at your back, sailing the high seas, traveling far and wide...

I Love Hot Showers.

There are few things I personally enjoy more than a nice hot shower. And to think, as a kid, I HATED baths. But now, I find them relaxing, especially after a long day. I enjoy the feel of the steamy hot water running down my body (Oh yeah, that DEFINITELY didn’t sound sexual at all, did it?), and I just enjoy the feel of the steam as it slowly clouds the entire bathroom. I always feel like a new...

Well, I Just Embarrassed Myself Today...

Okay, time for something a little different than what I usually do. Thing is, I need advice, and I would greatly appreciate any advice any of you here in Mibba can possibly give me. Okay, well, there’s this girl I REALLY like. Well, okay, maybe not LIKE, but I’m certainly interested in her at least. For the sake of anonymity, let’s call her, I don’t know, Mallory. Okay, she gave me her...

My Favorite Fantasy Cliches.

It’s no mystery that I adore the fantasy/adventure genre, whether it be in movies, games, books, animation, I just can’t get ENOUGH of the genre. I was always into magical worlds full of knights in shining armor and powerful reality-warping sorcerers and enchanted creatures. However, as with all genres of any medium, it has its share of cliches. Now, cliches AREN’T a bad thing necessarily....

If I Ruled the World...

You know, I’ve always wondered what the world would be like if I ruled it. I mean, who hasn’t thought of that? I mean, you have power, fame, fortune, women, and everyone respects you. I mean sure, it’s out of fear, but hey, details. So this is what I’d imagine the world would be like if I had dominion over it. First, I would have a fortress so large and so epic in scope, it would knock the...

What I Should've Done in High School

Hello, as you might or might not know, I have recently graduated from high school. Now, I will say that I have enjoyed every single day at my school. Great teachers, cute girls, awesome friends, what more could a guy want. However, there are a few things about High School that I regret, not because I did them, but rather because I didn’t do them. Here’s a list of things that, looking back, I...

Why I Love the Edge Chronicles

I’m not going to sugar-coat things here, I LOVE to read. I’m a huge fan of fantasy/adventure, and as of now, I’m reading the first book of The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica. However, I’m writing this to lavish praise on The Edge Chronicles, a series of books written by Paul Stewart with illustrations from Chris Riddell. For those who don’t know, The Edge Chronicles is a...
