Your comments always make me feel like 292983 times better about myself, so thanks for that : D

Thank you!
Your comment made me happy!

the rain thing is SOOOO me since i did it today when it rained :D

Umm not really, it was his cell phone. He texted Ryan about how The Great Gatsby has to be read. If you remember way back when Ange and Ryan have a bet about it, which is why she tried to stop him. I'd remind you of the specifics but that would imply that I remembered them and wasn't currently procrastinating searching through the way too many chapters to find out what happens next without yet another giant discontinuity error. I think we all know I'm procrastinating.

Did I not tell you? The characters are all real. Crazy, I know, but true. I lack creativity... that or I didn't have the guts to create a character when I started this so I threw myself into it. Whatever; potato, potato... that really doesn't work here, we need an internet version. Potato, apple of the earth. Hellz ya.

You don't know how tempted to write a chapter then cut out every second word, the sarcasm, and not use any vowels or commas. Just because that's the kind of person I am.

I thing the word you're looking for is ceiling, but I may be wrong, I'm not too good with words.
But yay! I'm glad I made you go AAAHHHHH!!! because it made me go AAAHHHHH!!! too. I had no clue I was about to write it, then suddenly it was in Word, and I was like "Oh snap!" and now it's on mibba and I'm happy. Does that even make sense? Oh well. Oh and I had re-read from chapter 60 too, that probably contributed to the whole [i]oh-look-it's-a-new-chapter-where-the-fuck-did-that-come-from?[/i] thing

i posted!!!!

haha thanks
well let me tell you. i am working on it. there might be a chapter out very shortly. if i don't decide to just finish it first. there's only a few chapter then there would be regular updates buuuut i dunno haha but that means you work!
basically i have been gone. all the time. france. alaska. lake chelan. the coast. i wanna be home! but basically life is good. :)

Don't know, is it cheesy to say that being your gem makes me grin?

You always do things like that, that's why I love your writing so much. It's so well planned but it comes off as though it was written effortlessly. Not something easy to find on mibba.

Ugg, [b]tease[/b]! I guess I can wait, for now. Man I have such an intense platonic love for Joe it's insane. If I ever met him I'd be like "Wait! Don't leave! I love you! Let's talk about cats, food, and the pros and cons of curly hair!" Then I'd force him to teach me how to play guitar since no one else will.

Visiting relatives. A bunch of other assorted relatives showed up, so it was basically a family reunion. I've never been to one of those, before, so the experience was something.

It's a lot like real life. Few things are resolved completely. They mostly just blow over and the loose ends get frozen in time like a fly baby in the middle of hatching from its egg when it gets a big clod of molten amber dumped on it, which solidifies and fossilizes. Pretty much. I was really, really confused about the 'last message' thing though. I mean, there were two phone messages from his dad that he said were his last words. So was it the one he showed to Thomas or the one he showed to Black?

JSF really has a thing for tortured grandparents, doesn't he? ;)

They cut out the Brod stuff? How could they?? She is like, the beating heart of that story. Her and Alex. Well, before he stopped being perverted and got all deep and depressing. The whole story just got weird and deflated after that. In my opinion, anyway.

i posted my original one-shot. if you'd like to check it out but if you have. what do you think?
by the way....I LOVE the PETE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!
I promise I won't stop...yet lol (Nah, I have about 40+ pages written so far, I can't abandon that haha)

By the way, your profile is adorable : ) you seem like a cool kid

I do the same thing. I tend to follow a writer based on their writing skills versus their story ideas. But for reasons unknown I don't like the idea of people following Ryan based on what I've posted before. Oh well, I like being a giant hypocrite.
I'm in total love with my Batman layout! It's in honour of my Batman phone, not a Batman shaped phone, an old fashioned red phone, original Batman style. It's the love of my life because I'm a nerd. Only sad thing is that it's got buttons like a normal phone but I love it none the less, I've been searching for a glass dome to put it under and thus complete my life while sealing my status as [i]nerd extraordinaire[/i]. No luck so far, I'm thinking of getting a cake dome at a second hand store if I can find a clear one.

Well, if you fail, I fail too. Yes, I know you've been traveling, through Twitter. I'm actually in China right now, and every time I tried to get on Twitter it couldn't go through for some reason so I was worried everyone thought I died and my followers dropped down to zero. Yay for us - we both fail, and we both travel.

Ahh I'm so glad you liked it, you're the only person who I've recced it to that's read it, so it means a lot to me. And yes, I know, Oskar is probably my favorite literary character ever. I mean, I wanted to melt when he described the ambulance with the flashing messages. I really wouldn't mind him as a sibling, even though I like being an only child. I'm also glad you didn't get pissed off that the ending didn't really resolve much. It vexed me greatly (as anyone from a Victorian might say) at first but then I realized it was exactly like real life.

And yes, I have read Everything Is Illuminated, and it is also amazing, though harder to read.

My faith in mibba has returned. Yes it is Bowie.
Oh I'm not complaining! I was worried that people might just read it because they liked my Brendon story, but they're so incredibly different I just did not want that. I love the initial building of fans for a story. I think each story should earn it's popularity, not each author. I'd hate for people to read it in hopes that it will be anything like Brendon, because it's so far from it it's insane. Plus I'm taking my time with this one, which means that where I find it exciting others will probably find it boring because they don't get the significance, yet. It's a strange story, it trys to say as much as possible by saying as little as possible. I don't get why it does that but it seems to work so I play along.

im not really a fan of vacation. iunno. I feel like i need to be on the computer/watching tv to relax. Also, whenever i go on vacation, my parent's always drag me to boring musuems, colleges, stupid stuff. I've done so much hiking in the past day that my legs are so sore.
So personally, i love STAYcations. Computer all day is my idea of relaxing.

Sounds about right, except that you forgot to mention that your story is the one that's kick ass.
I'd give you a crown but then I'd have to a) make one, b) stalk you long enough to figure out where you live and c) pay for stamps. And I'm too cheep and lazy for that.
Oh please I haven't updated Brendon since March and I posted my school assignments along the way to distract people from that fact. You clearly win by a month, and a day, minus how long ago I posted my new story, which is apparently a day ago, so just a month. Awesome, mental math.
I should probably type the next chapter though since it's all written out, then I'll have to edit it. And since it's longer than 20 words (shortest epilogue, ever) it'll probably take longer to edit it. Oh well, at least it's written.
And I'm pretty sure that I'm a bigger idiot than you. You're talking to someone who got out of a moving vehicle and then got freaked out 4h later when they realised that the vehicle had been moving. Sadly no, I am not exaggerating.

I know, I miss the old quizilla, the friendly quizilla with homepages...
Hey you're not delusional! You forget that I was one of the to intimidated to message you people! And I'm pretty sure that you're the one that messaged me, so who knows how long it would have taken me to speak up if you didn't first?? And I'm pretty sure that you post more than I do.

Not to worry, I won't take advantage of you. But it's best to remember that everything I say is typically as close to what I'll eventually do as reality shows are close to reality. I just like to ramble and end up saying things before I have a chance to think them through, which isn't usually a good idea.
I don't think I'll ever be able to fully leave quizilla or mibba, but I do know 100% that I will not continue posting on quizilla because I'm lazy and don't feel like having to take out all the coding that's needed for mibba. Plus no one talks to me over there that doesn't talk to me over here. The only things that I can ever be certain of are my laziness and all that laziness is a factor of.
And yet again I have rambled far too long about nothing in particular...

It's been going good. I haven't really been up to much, mibba wise though. My life is completely taken over by softball now, and I'm heading off to vacation for 10 days. I'll have no computer for 10 days, omg, ima DIE!
Anyhoo, that's what's up with me (other than the ceiling, of course). So whud up wit u?

Ahh you forget that everything I decide to do never really seems to happen. Such as leaving quizilla and never writing fanfics again. I'm just weird like that.
