Oh and I GET THE BIG ROOM!!!!!

#2 Mar 16th, 8:06pm

LOL at Zeo!

And the banner was cute. :)

#8 Mar 16th, 10:15pm

Wow... it didn't dawn on me that you locked up the other thread last night, and moved on to part six... I was wondering why things were so damn quiet!

Since Zeo got the big room and Nightblade isn't around... I call the basement!! It's mine! Mine! Mine! *cough* anyway...

My rant for the moment... Algebra sucks! Factoring sucks... anything with -nomial at the end sucks... Hate hate hate hate... my hatred knows no bounds... grrr...

On top of that, I have Excel homework do tonight too and I'm not even half way done with my math homework and it's alll due by 11 and I'm going crazy!! Why am I such a procrastinator?!?!?! I coulda had all this done over the weekend, but noooo...I have to be lazy... damn it anyhow... *takes a deep breath*

Wow... I feel better now. Back to homework of doom...

P.S. Thanks for the compliments on the banner... :D

P.P.S. I have a Tom/Hayley idea in my head for St. Patty's Day, but it won't get writen by midnight and that makes me sad :(

#9 Mar 17th, 5:57pm

I'm so glad I no longer have homework.

I finally got around to updating one of my stories!!

#10 Mar 17th, 10:16pm

I saw that and went squee... reading material for tomorrow yay!! :D I'm going to get caught up on your's and Diva's stories tomorrow... no ifs ands or buts... I think I'm caught up on NB's but I have to double check... if not... then yup... catchin' up on his too.

I'm in a hell of a moood at the moment... found out I pretty much failed my Algebra Mid-term. 60/100. I don't fail things!! I'm kicking myself in the arse pretty hard. I mean, I used to be in honors algerba classes... WTF is up with this failing shite. It's just not clicking and I'm hating myself for it and its making things so frustrating... I mean I have a 69% in that class right now, but she hasn't included the online tests we took, both of which I got 80's in... so that might bring my grade up a bit... at first I was all like, Oooh yeah... A in this class... now I'm just praying I pass it so I can take Intro to College Math. NO more online math classes for me... I guess I work better when I have a teacher in front of me for some subjects. *sighs*

#11 Mar 17th, 10:44pm

Good chapter there, Zeo. I think my next one- to BTS- will probably be longer, seein' as how I'm ready to start the drama. LOL.

#12 Mar 18th, 1:36pm

#13 Mar 18th, 1:38pm

Stupid double post...

#14 Mar 18th, 1:39pm

JaKim is starting to become kinda popular around here.

#15 Mar 18th, 3:06pm

I noticed that too and all I can say is bring it on. I'm lovin that more people are writing about JaKim.

Now I just have to switch gears cause I have a KaTo chap to write.

#16 Mar 18th, 5:08pm

I gotta switch gears and crank out a chappie for my R/Kat fic.

#17 Mar 18th, 7:35pm

Oh I hope you update that fic soon, I'm dying to know what's gonna happen next.

#18 Mar 18th, 9:54pm

That's how I feel about your KaTo fic.

#19 Mar 18th, 9:57pm

I'm still trying to work out the details for the ending of that fic. I can't decide if it has 2 or 3 chapters left.

#20 Mar 18th, 10:26pm . Edited Mar 18th, 10:27pm

I'm pretty much the same way with my R/Kat and KaTo fics. I don't know for sure when I'll end them.

#21 Mar 18th, 10:37pm

I have a tendency to start fics without a full game plan. I usually just make up most of the stuff that occurs in the fics as I go along. Then, I'll end up in a corner. LOL.

#22 Mar 18th, 10:39pm

Which is why I usually get disgusted and tempted to delete fics... like I am now.

#23 Mar 18th, 10:40pm

There will be no deleting of fics, young lady!!

#24 Mar 19th, 8:47am

Don't kill me. I plan to try and finish up those fics. No matter what.

#25 Mar 19th, 10:17am

I see your avvy is doing some more advertising. LOL.

#26 Mar 19th, 10:20am

Rant: I really can't stand when someone reads your fic JUST so you'll read theirs. We've discussed this once, but, it was brief. I just got to thinking about it again, for some reason. No one's ever done it to me, but, I've seen it done to the other writers and it's very, very irritating. They'll say: "I love this story. It's great. Please update soon. BTW, please read and review my story." And they'll say that in practically every review. I mean, dang! That is MORE than shameless.

#27 Mar 19th, 10:30am

I've actually had that done to me and I think it was by the same person who was bascially ripping off one of my stories. I mean our characters had similar names and stuff. But what sucks is when people do that and then you go read their stories and then their stories suck. But you're right it's pretty shameless cause it's like begging someone to read your story.

Oh and as for my avvy, I was really happy at seeing more JaKim on the site so you know I had to keep promoting it.

#28 Mar 19th, 10:36am

Viva la JaKim. :)

But, yep, it's crazy. It is DEFINITELY begging someone to read. And you're right- sometimes, their stories are just BAD.

#29 Mar 19th, 10:40am

They'll beg like they get no reviews at all. But, that's usually not the case. You'll see that their fics DO have reviews. They're just trying to pull in more by pleading and whining.

#30 Mar 19th, 10:43am

Zeo, ya gotta put another chapter of Forgotten Life out ASAP!

#31 Mar 19th, 12:16pm

I know, I know and I was going to work on it earlier but then I went on Youtube and found video of JDF at some convention doing a question and answer session about PR so you know I had to watch it and he's still so hot that my brain pretty much turned to mush afterwards. But I am planning on working on that chapter today and hopefully have it out by tonight.

#32 Mar 19th, 2:03pm

Ya know... the gods of writing are against me. I must have pissed them off... maybe some T/Kimer put a curse on me. Just as I'm starting my Kat/Zack ficlet... I hear yelling, screaming, and a loud crash next door. Being that I am apartment manager I need to find out what's going on... all I can say is, the drama was almost as good as some of y'alls stories. I felt like I should have had a box of popcorn. Cops, guns, a beanbag gun, handcuffs, just wonderful... *headdesk* I think I need to offer up something to the writing gods, to get them back on myside.

P.S. I forgot the sword... how could I forget the sword. *sigh*

#33 Mar 19th, 2:09pm . Edited Mar 19th, 2:10pm

ROTFL! You got a couple loonies up there.

#34 Mar 19th, 2:25pm

And I'm holding you to that, Zeo. :)

#35 Mar 19th, 2:26pm

Well... J has a girlfriend who's barely 18... you remember J right Diva... LOL Anyway... she told daddy she was coming right home from school, but she went to J's instead... so daddy came looking for her, J said get out... he said no... J drew sword and said GTFO, daddy grabbed the sword, J grabbed the blade, cut himself, then daddy left and J called police, but daddy got to police first and said J was trying to kill him with the sword... so police show up, guns and beaner gun *beanbag gun* drawn, arrest him, question everybody else... so yeah, fun, fun, fun... this is what I have to look forward too when I'm full owner, wonderful, *Sigh*.

#36 Mar 19th, 2:29pm

That chick is more trouble than she's worth. Get yourself a WOMAN, bro... .

#37 Mar 19th, 3:10pm

And not ME... I've had enough b.s. to last me... not to mention I've come to realize he's an attention seeker who's lazy as all get out. So yah, dont want nothing to do with him now... and on top of all that shite up there... I just found out he lied tothe cops about what happened too... tried to say that her daddy tried to stab him with the sword when he fell to the ground. Which didn't happen... so yah, god the drama.

#38 Mar 19th, 3:30pm

In that case, somebody like him NEEDS a little girl.

#39 Mar 19th, 3:45pm

And Somebody should update something!

#40 Mar 19th, 3:46pm

Tell the gods of writing to take the curse of me... and I'll gladly update. I could TELL you a story word for word, dialogue wise... then put it down on paper and it goes 'poof' out of my head. I hate when I get like this!! I'm gonna put everything on hiatus and go hide... *sigh*

#41 Mar 19th, 3:51pm

*sigh of relief* This makes me feel a lot better about my choice to put things on hiatus.

#42 Mar 19th, 3:59pm

On one hand, I want too... because it would take the stress load off me for a bit and maybe just work to break the block I've got going... on the other hand, I don't, because I'm afraid it will be like it was back in the BSB fandom, took a break and never came back. But at the same time, I never write my best work if I'm forced to do it, so it would be a bad thing...

#43 Mar 19th, 4:01pm

Maybe we all SHOULD take a lil break from writing. Ya know, to get it all together. I mean, I haven't really been at the top of my game lately, so, I'm thinking it's a good idea. It IS better to write when you're refreshed.

#44 Mar 19th, 5:28pm

As long as it dosen't become a permanent break... I'm only talking a month tops on my end, at least that's what I"m thinking anyway... only because I REALLY need to apply myself to my schooling at the moment, failing my midterm was like a smack in the face... and the 69% I've got going in the class totally doesn't make me feel any better.

#45 Mar 19th, 5:41pm

I feel ya. I dunno how long I'll be with mine, though.

#46 Mar 19th, 5:49pm

It sucks though... either way.

#47 Mar 19th, 5:53pm

Most def. Blockage is evil. But, taking a break becomes necessary when you're not feeling any kind of motivation or inspiration. I can be a perfectionist when it comes to writing. I ain't too cool with putting just anything out there. LOL.

#48 Mar 19th, 5:57pm

Neither am I, I got over my... OMG I have to put something... anything out! Phase a while ago. LOL

#49 Mar 19th, 6:02pm
