I've often wondered about the miraculous technology that we have now days. The slim and sleek new designs of computers and the fact that you can now control them with the touch of a finger! I remember back when I was a child, when the computers I had growing up were more manual labor than them working for themselves. Such as the big clunkers that had actual "floppy" disks, and we had to type in...

I know I haven't been on mibba for like... ever, but that should change soon. I've been through a really rough patch, and now I'm trying to get things straightened out again. I've been feeling almost helples, but my undying optimism (although waning), keeps pushing me to go foreward. Which I'm thankful for because I won't let them take me alive!So other than that, I have this girl who keeps...

I'm glad to announce that the wait is soon to be over. Those of you that have read "Saturate", followed on to "We're Not Alone", and "Phobia" you will soon enjoy the next sequel of the lives of Aj and Ben Burnley.I don't want to reveal much more, other than the fact that this one will, again, follow the lyric of the album, "Dear Agony". I will say that the lives of the Burnley family doesn't go...

I know that I'm probably looked at as a tweaker right now... (It's three in the morning, and I was still walking around the rez with my sister from another mother, but hey, we had fun. Even though she stuttered alot... and I mean, alot!)*Note to self: Don't take four Xenadrine's at the same time unless you're a tweaker or just wanna be hyper.Meh....I have to go to my Uncle's wake in like t minus 8...

Tonight, I'm sorry to say that my Uncle Curtis Joseph Dennison Jr. has passed away at 10:15 PM pacific time. He was bleeding into his brain, and the blood was pushing the brain down on his spinal cord.I just feel drained. At 23, I'm the leader of the family now. I had to discuss with my sister and my other Uncle about the big decision. My grandmother felt like she couldn't make the decision...

Doesn't seem like the two should mix, but that's how it was. On June 11th, I attended a funeral for LaVerne Duncan. It was heartbreaking for my grandmother and my fiance.Apparently, my fiance had grown up with LaVerne, and my mother had watched him grow up too. I remembered the name from my mother, and found that LaVerne was only a year younger than my mother and a couple years older than my...

I don't know why, but I have an obsession with this name: Caprica. Ever since I've watched the movie, and I find myself putting it down as my name once in a while, (on things like domino score sheets and stuff like that). But I really hate to lose my name.I've been Shallow Bay Rising since... forever. It's the name that I've grown accustomed to when writing, and wouldn't really want to change it....

I've been stuck between two books lately. One is, "Slim and Howdy's Adventures" by Brooks and Dunn. Which honestly, I only bought because of the fact that Brooks and Dunn were on the back and (of course) because of the free cd inside.It's a really cool western theme story. One with many misadventures and escaping through the skin of their teeth while trying to make a quick buck with both guitar...

Breathe in... Breathe out...It seems simple enough, but today it's been a problem. Despite the cloudy weather outside, the pollen is still stirring around and making it hazardous for me to be outside. Though I must attend my classes today.And I have a paper to write today... I have to write about a favorite singer.... So I'm deciding that I should start that now, since it's due in like three...

So that means a lot of things. Cleaning... Love...But for me, it's the curse of my life. I have seasonal allergies that are the worst during spring and summer. (Thanks for not letting me play in the mud mom... just kidding...)Anyway, so in between my attacks, I've been rather busy. With my contests and fulfilling everyone on their prizes, and still trying to finish up some contest entries that I...

So for this contest, it was in honor of my mother and her fave selection of music. I was excited at first because it was my first contest, five people joined and only three turned in entries, so the decision making wasn't that difficult.Here are the Winners:1st place: "Find Me" by its1a2secret3 based on the song- "I Never Promised You A (Rose Garden)" by Lynn Andersen- This story was interesting...

So here is the official list of those who entered... (In order of who entered first.)1. she floats.: I'm fine. - Wicked Smiles and Hollow Bones2. foryoualone: I miss you. - I Miss You3. Comon Misconseption: I need this. - I Need This4. Classy Not Classic: Lazy ass bitch. - Driven To The Extreme5. In Your Golden Cage: You're dumb- He's Mine6. Saul Hudson: You don't think! That's your problem. - You...

I know this is late, but it has to be said...There were 16 subscribers for my "Famous Last Words" story, and I deleted it.*cries*But that's only because I started writing in back in high school, and I want to re-edit it. Also, there are some parts that need to be inflated with details, and some fill in's could be used too.Well, if you were a subscriber, I'm sorry about that, and I promise to...

Well, I've been looking, and some of you might be more knowledgable, for femmeslash Hayley William stories.I so love her, and would like to know if anyone has any good stories featuring her.*gets down on knees* Please? With cherries on top?Well, I'll let you bask in the warmth of this banner/link because it's my femmeslash story that I have on her. If you're interested in reading it.This Wasn't...

That's my totally random quote of the day.... I don't know why, but that's what popped into my head just now.Anyway, I've been wondering (and hoping that I'm not the only weird one...) if any of you writers ever go back and just read your stories.I know sometimes when I'm bored, (like today, I forgot my USB flashdrive at home) and so I'm waiting for submissions to be turned in, and while I'm...

I just thought that I should elaborate on what I actually meant. Here's an example from one of my stories that I'm thinking of putting up."So what ya' gonna do this summer?" Asked Pumpkin as she leaned back on the grass.Michaela shrugged, "I don't know yet. I was thinkin' about going to college and all that bull... aye, what I say! Nah, I'll just stay home and tweak, aye... No, really I'm just...

Does it really bother you guys that someone writes in dialects? Because usually everyone seems to comment about my "English" errors.Should I just post in the summary that I'm using a different dialect? I know that I don't have that great of a grip on English, and sometimes for my stories I do use different dialects and then I have people commenting like, "sodie? Did you mean soda?" Yes, that's...

So I made it through my midterm without problems. Okay, maybe a few minor problems. My voice cracked when I didn't get enough air during one of the high notes of "Bulletproof" by Kerli. And other than that I thought I was okay.Some feedback from my classmates?:1. I have a very sweet voice that sounds pure (not too sure about that, I prefer sreamo myself...) and that I should continue finding other...

If someone has time, I want a profile layout that's like the layout for my story: "This Wasn't What You Wanted... Was It?"Please? I will love you forever! I originally posted this on the Layout Thread thingy, but in case it doesn't get answered, maybe someone reading this would be able to help me out.And I would like to have someone to help explain to me how the skeleton thing works. Because I...

It's raining, and I hope that it sticks around for tomorrow because it would be a nice effect for my midterm tomorrow! I have to do my solo for my singing class (which I played hookie from yesterday) and my song that I chose is: "Bulletproof" by Kerli.I absolutely love it and can't wait to perform tomorrow!Anyway, other than that, I've been posting up all my one-shots and trying to finish some...
