    hahaha, oh, yeah, i rarely participate either. I just watch from afar... hehe. Something i've always wanted to do though, was the scavenger hunt like Viva La Bam... I even went as far as make up a list of rules and items to be found. I came up with some pretty good ones, too. Just need to get around to putting it in action.. hehe.

    A victory dance? hahaha. I have a happy dance, which kind of looks like a cross between a penguin and chicken dance. Few people see it, though.. coz it's quite embarrassing and I only do it if something really good happens. hahaha.

    Yeah, I understand what you mean. You want your stuff to be different and unpredictable, which is a good way of thinking. So far it seems to be different to most other vampire plotlines.. Especially with the subtle hints towards there being more to her than meets the eye =]

    Haha, i'm kind of glad your mind never shuts off. This means great works for me to read = p I sometimes hate how many ideas my mind throws at me, because I come up with stuff that gets me all hyped about writing, but I know I can't start them til I finish the others. Then I get mad at myself. It's a vicious cycle... hahaha.

    I can't write in a notebook. It's weird, but I have to write on my laptop.. stuff just doesn't flow when I write by hand. I think my brain works faster than my hand, so if i'm typing i've at least got two hands to try and keep up with it. hehe. Well, at least I don't feel alone anymore.. I know there's someone else who is sad like me = p

    Oh! I would've been jealous too! Lucky girl... Yeah, my friends never did crazy stuff.. they were always quite tame. My brother and his mates, however, were not, so I got my entertainment from them = p Usually they were intoxicated when they did stupid things, so I also had the pleasure of explaining why they were missing hair, had strange bruises and had a strange taste in their mouth the next day = p

    Hehe, well, when I start posting it, you'll be the first to know = ] I plan to begin once I've finished O.A, but knowing my impatience, it will probably be sooner. I have six chapters written already, so once i get a little more done, i'll probably begin = p

    Oooh.. intriguing. I love how you dont give too much away.. like you keep me guessing and doubting myself = p I love a story that keeps you totally drawn in and yours does exactly that =]

    Hahaha! That would've been funny... I have done that once before, but it was a while ago. I don't have too much trouble with the ones i'm writing, because the a7x multi-chapters are both mostly Matt/Zacky/OFC based, just with different plotlines. And one shots, they're simple, coz I just write them when I get bored with the others.. haha. I have too many ideas.. I've got plotlines for three other stories already written out and I've got four ideas for one shots.
    I don't have a lot else to do.. I lead a pretty quiet life, so I spend my time writing.. it's kinda sad. hahaha.

    Oh, I don't blame you! Yeah, that's been all over the news... I wasn't surprised, though, he seemed to have in the bag before the voting even began. haha.

    Oh, don't worry.. I friggin LOVED Jackass. It was my favourite show for so long.. I have a twisted sense of humor (like most) and people hurting themselves amuses me. It's pretty bad.. my family hate it, coz everytime someone does something stupid and they hurt themselves, I laugh and forget to ask if they're okay... oops! = p

    Oh, I loved that story! Honestly, it inspired my idea to have Zacky an asshole in mine = p The basic plot is that the main character, Jasmine, is best friends with Matt (secretly in love with him but he has no clue) and is friends with all of them, except Zacky, coz they've hated each other since they first met. No reason really, just dont get along. So she spends her life longing for Matt and fighting with Zacky. There's more to the plot... but I can't give everything away = p

    I can understand there being issues with your original one.. But i'm sure if you give yourself time to let the ideas come to you and continue to get inspiration from the Twilight series, it'll be great = ]

    I'm having the problem of writing too many stories at once. I'm writing 2 a7x multi-chapters, O.A and working on other one shots here and there. I need to learn to limit myself. haha.

    hey, i updated my jackson story again.
    "What's that saying about life and a box of chocolates."
    just telling you now, its a bit of a sad chapter.
    So tell me what you think.
    Hope you enjoy it.
    cheers.

    No sleep? Crazy woman. hahaha. I gave in to my tiredness at 6am and slept til 1pm = p My dad came in and woke me up by letting our jack russel dog jump on me.. that was fun. hahaha.

    Oh, well, at least you can inspiration from the clips = p And you're doing a good job in getting them to sound exactly as they would on Bam and Jackass, so good job! =]
    There's actually an a7x story i'm working on where Zacky is an asshole.. haha.. and i've had to come up with insults that he slings at a girl and it's quite difficult, because I have to make him harsh, which he doesnt seem to be. I would think it'd be easier having Syn or Matt being an ass, than Zacky. But I like to make things difficult for myself.. haha.

    Yeah! I love your reviews, because you go in depth with the story! =]
    HAHAHA! It sounds creepy, but I understand what you mean. I do the same thing with your stories.. I can picture the scenes in my head, like i'm watching a movie or something, which just proves how good you are describing details and stuff =]

    Yup, not one. Never read the books, either. Roxy (my best friend) loves them, though. I guess she just hasn't rubbed off on me = p

    Oh, that sucks. I'm surprised you didnt end up sleeping in class then... hahaha. And it seems we both have the problem of not knowing when to shut up, which is clear from this msg... hahaha.

    It looks right and I know what's meant to say, so we'll go with maticulous = p
    Oh, yeah, I do that. I think that's why i've written so far ahead with O.A, so I can go over them a few times and change stuff before I post it.
    It doesn't show with Jigsaw Falling Into Place, in my opinion. It flows nicely and is so very amusing with Bam and the boys. You're very good with the one liners and jokes.. I love that in stories =]

    Hahaha, well, there'll be much more drama before it ends. Hell, the next two chapters alone will have you going "what?!?!" I'm sure. haha. I look forward to the reactions to it, actually.. it should be interesting.. hahaha.

    Alrighty, i'll be sure to have a website handy whilst i'm reading it. But unfortunately, no, I haven't actually seen any of the Harry Potters. Something I haven't gotten around to. haha. But i'm sure I can find a pic of him out there = p

    Haha, well, you're keeping me entertained at 5am seeing as I cant sleep, so I'm not complaining. Although I am filling your page up with my ramblings.. haha. Oh, that's right.. I forgot you're election was today (or my yesterday). It's weird, but i'm glad its over... even we get election campaign stuff on our news. Like our own isn't bad enough. haha.

    Spanish, hey? That's cool =] I'd like to learn another language, but they never stick with me. I had french 4 times throughout my high schooling life and I can barely remember any of it. I can count to 20, I know colours and very basic sentances. It's pretty bad. haha.

    Haha, yeah, well, I know enough of them, it wasn't hard. I just based him on the worst of the two or three i've known. haha.

    I'd guess it probably is just your self-consciousness, but then, you have to be happy with it before you put it out there. Otherwise you want to go back and re-write stuff, which can be a problem. haha. That's why I haven't posted any of the multi-chapter a7x fics I have yet, because i'm not done tweaking what i've got and I dont want my focus split too much. I know what i'm like, if I get a good response for the a7x fic, i'll neglect the Mest one. haha.

    Having said that, Opposites Attract isn't far off being completed. I've written up to chapter 21 and there shouldn't be more than 25 or 26 chapters, with an epilogue maybe. I'm getting there... hahaha.

    I like old kids sorts of movies. Like, right now, i'm watching the Jungle Book. haha. My taste is pretty varied, i like my dark comedies, kids movies, action, cult movies and I'm a sucker for chick flicks.

    Yeah, I noticed that one. I will definitely have to read it, though I know nothing about the movie or the actor, but I'll google anything I don't know. hehehe.

    Oh, no.. I'm the queen of lame. Trust me. Hahaha.

    Yup and you're doing a fine job of it =] I honestly don't know how i'd go writing a completely orginial fic, I'm only just getting along with Fanfics. hahaha.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. Mine are the same and I'm embarrassed to say I wrote them, they were pretty lame. haha.

    I'm watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I love this movie.. haha, sorry, that was random. hehehe.

    Yeah, I like vampires too. One of my favourite shows is "Buffy" (even though it's not the best representation of them, i still like it and I loved the movie).

    Yeah, I don't have the first story I ever wrote anymore. I lost it ages ago... which is not a bad thing. haha. But yeah, i'm very glad to realise I have grown as a writer.. that's a great thing. haha.

    Haha, you're not at all a dork. You should hear my friend, Betsy, talking about the series. She's in love with anything to do with vampires, she dressed up as one for halloween. haha.

    Oh, yeah, i've noticed my own writing style and technique has changed over time. I read the first stories I ever wrote and cringe.. haha.

    Exactly. If you're not striving for perfection, you dont care enough about your work.

    A friend of mine reads those (and loves them), but I, myself, haven't actually read them. Though I have thought about checking them out, just haven't gotten around to it.

    Haha, i'm glad you don't dumb it down. I think it's great how descriptive you can be without using too many words, plus if someone reading it can't understand it, then they probably shouldn't be reading it. =]

    Yeah, I can totally understand that. It would be much more difficult to write a completely orginial story with unique characters than fanfiction. But in my opinion, you're doing a wonderful job and I think you should consider having it published when you're done =]

    Well, everyone is their worst critic. Plus, an author that is always looking to better their technique is always a great thing =]
