I'm freaking out and I'm crying. [Questions, comment swap.]

Oh my god. I'm freaking out.My mom came home this afternoon and told me my grandmother was in the ER. My two aunts were getting her ready to go get some blood work done, and she started hemorrhaging. She has a prolapsed uterus, and so my aunts had to rush her to the hospital - luckily, it's a three minute drive with no traffic.So, after a little while in the ER, my grandmother was allowed to go...

Updates. [Questions, of course.]

Hey there.So tomorrow is a snow day. I'm super-pumped because that means I get lots of writing time. :D Which means a buttload of updates tomorrow! (And by buttload, I mean two, possibly four.)Also, I started a story twitter where you can get updates about stories and stuff, and a formspring so my readers/friends can ask questions. They're linked below.I'm going to link a picture here, and it's...

Something I've been thinking about. [Religion - ooh, controversial!]

This is not meant to offend anyone. It's just my beliefs. And if you guys have a comment, please, let me know. I'm incredibly open-minded.I've been thinking about my religion lately. My mom told me we were going to start going back to church on Saturdays, and that made me think.My family is Roman Catholic, and we used to practice it every week. I went to Sunday School and got confirmed last April....

I think I have the coolest English teacher ever. [Death, questions, comics, and weekend plans.]

So, Mibba. I seriously think I have the coolest English teacher ever.His name is Mr. Roy and he's in his early thirties. He's got a hot plate by his desk and a huge box filled with different teas. He has seven or eight mugs that students can use, and he'll let you make tea during class.He also let me do a utopia/dystopia project on California 2019 and the Killjoy concept. (I'm going to send the...

Oh my God. I just found the most useful tool for any writer ever!CLICK RIGHT HURR.Okay. So that's a link to a couple character questionnaires. And they are so well done that I'm going to use them from now on to get to know all my characters. I just figured I share this amazingness with all of you.

Looking for a good read. [Story reccs, questions, advice, & MCR.]

I'm on a major MCR binge right now.I don't know what sparked it, but I know that it's helping me get through this really really tough time for me and I've been listening to them all day, with short breaks for other songs.So, MCR fans of Mibba. I have a request for you:Tell me your best MCR fics. I'm not much into Frerard or Frikey or Waycest. I just need a fix and it's so hard to find good ones -...

New story! [Comment swap & questions]

Hey, Mibbs. :)I just posted the first chapter of my new story Never Just One. It's basically setting up the rest of the story, but I think it's a quality chapter and I'm looking forward to writing this story. There is so much potential with it. :)I am worried about getting some of the characters right, though, but when you're dealing with fanfiction and writing such dynamic people, it's a risk...

MCR fans, come check this out. [A band you should all check out, questions, and free reads.]

Hey there, Mibba. I'm supposed to be doing a poster on George Martin and his contributions to the world of Music Technology, but Mibba's more fun.Anyways. I'm starting a new story, even though I shouldn't, and I've posted the summary: Never Just One. It's a Killjoy!verse story, so this is where you come in, MCR fans.If you could tell me if it sounds good and if you'd read it, that'd be great. If...

I need a hug or something.

I am so stressed and so depressed right now, it's not even funny.See, I've had depression (undiagnosed, but I've spoken to those in the field and they've said I most likey do have it) since I was in the eighth grade when my friend Chris killed himself. And I've been doing pretty good lately, I think.I look at it like this: there are three areas, like a hockey rink. The first zone is all white -...

I'm stressing. [School, Glee, Questions, and Christmas.]

Hello, Mibba. I'm freaking out right now.I have two projects due tomorrow, but I can't find any of the information I need. It's really, really bad. I'm freaking out because my grades are terrible already, and I can't fail. I just can't. It would knock me out of tech for the next show.I don't know what to do! I'm on the verge of tears. I can't do this, I just can't.Onto something completely...

The show is tonight.

Oh my god, my first-ever performance is tonight.I'm so scared I'll mess up a scene change, but there's eight other techies, so it should be okay.I'm more nervous about the show itself: our Colonel Mustard might have been late to school today (which means he can't perform) and our main cop James is really, really sick, but came today just so he could go on.But Tom's voice is better, so thank you...

Advice needed. [Remedies, anyone?]

Okay, everyone. This is just a quick little journal for my friend.My friend Tom is playing a major role in the school's fall production - Professor Portland Plum of Patton University. [I'm in tech, and I can almost recite the whole show word-for-word, so sorry if I end up going into lines from the show.]The thing is, Tom is also in the school chorus, and he's losing his voice. He's got to majorly...

I get to write a fanfiction for an English project. [MCR, presentation advice, and questions]

Yeah. I'm super-pumped. :DMy English class is reading Brave New World and we were assigned a separate utopia/dystopia book to read along with it, then do a presentation on all these connections. He advised us to get into character.I was assigned A Clockwork Orange and I was having a hard time really getting into it because of all the Russian slang. I was going to give my presentation using...

Danger Days, other new releases I'm looking forward to, and stories. [Questions]

I feel like I'm one of the very few people who actually loves MCR's new direction.I mean, they're husbands and fathers and they've aged. They can't be singing melancholy rock tunes all the time.The new album (which I bought today) is really unique, and well done. I love how it sounds, and the lyrics are as powerful as ever.Not to mention, I love the whole concept of the Killjoys, California 2019,...

Random thoughts from the Walrus. [Questions & Swap]

Hello, Mibbs. How are you this evening?I've got a few things on my mind that I'd like to just... get out of my head.ConformityYou know what I find hilarious? Those groups that hate conformity conform to the standards of a group.xDI mean, think about it. Boycott the mainstream... by shopping at a mainstream store. Boycott blending in and sameness... by blending in with a group where everyone's...

Tech is tough... but fun. [This cuteness made my day.]

So I'm doing tech for my school's drama program. It's a lot of fun, but it's hard because the RUBIX CUBES FROM HELL way too much, and they're in like, seven scenes.Anyways, it's going to be eating my life these next few weeks, but it's just a bunch of my friends and everything. So I'm excited.Plus, it looks good on college apps, right?Right.AND THE CUTENESS, I MUST SHARE THE CUTENESS.So Nate, that...
