News/Chapter Progress: I'm working on outlining Saphira's Children fully. This should hopefully give me the full idea of where I want this story to go and on the plus side if I know what I want in each chapter then its just a matter of writing it all out. A lot of the time it takes while I am writing is spent thinking of what I want to do in the chapter and later on in the story.

Saphira's Children: 0/3,000
Bonded: 0/3,000

In case any of you were wondering what a Platypus looked like I made my Avatar/Image a picture of one. And Incase any of you were wondering why my homepage was actually the Inheritence Cycle FanFiction link that's just there so I have an easy way of getting to the page instead of having to go through FanFiction-Books-Inheritence Cycle whenever I want to get there to check for updates.

Oh yeah and I suppose you'd like to know a bit about me. Well lets see here I don't really have a life and all I do is write mostly. My religion is Christianity. Political stuff... well I hated both canidates but I think McCain would have screwed up the nation less. I personally don't like that obomination in the white house. I think he'll bring about the Baraccolypse. Also I'm beginning to think that he's partially Husane. Don't you just love word play.

Here is one thing that really pisses me off. Its that stupid little ad with the girl voice that starts talking out of nowhere saying something retarded about a Ninendo Wii. If i ever find out which computer nerd programed that add into the internet i will beat the living crap out of him with a Nintendo Wii. Then i will shove that Wii down his throat remote and all. Is it me or are the ads gettting even more annoying. Now I can't even click the close button to get rid of them. I have to hit the refresh button just to clear the page and hope that no more ads pop up.

Here's a little system I worked out when looking to see if a story is worth your time.

1. Read the summary (Duh) and if anything catches your eye check it out

2. Here's something you can use to find out if a new story will have lengthy chapters that will be worth your time to keep tabs on. Look at the word count and the number of chapters. If the number of chapters times 1,000 is greater than or equal to the word count the story isn't really that long but you might like it. If the number of chapters times 2,000 is greater than or equal to the word count the story is pretty long and worth reading. If its chapters times 3,000 is greater than or equal to the word count it is a very long story and worth your time for sure.

3. See if the title and summary use proper capitals and spelling no one really likes a story that they have to get someone who speaks idiot to translate it for them.

If every time you here a High School Musical 1 and/or 2, Hannah Montana, or any other Disney channel song you want to bleed from the ears, put this on your profile. Here's a clip from youtube that helps express my opinion High School Musical

Ok so everyone has those things with the whole you know your in 2007 when... but I haven't seen one for 2009. So I decided to make one

You know you're in 2009 when...

1) You’ve committed the crime of illegally downloading music several thousand times

3) You’ve been called racist several thousand times, because you voted for McCain

4) You have a virtual dog that you walk everyday but you forget to walk your real dog

5) You’re checking carefully to makes sure there’s a number five this time

6) You’re relieved that there is a number five and you’ve not been tricked

7) But then you realize that there’s no number two

8) And now you’re thinking tell me more funny things that I can relate to

9) So now I’ll continue with the list. You know that you’re in 2008 when…

10) You watch TV on the internet instead of an actual television

11) You have no idea what an ampersand is but you know what this means &

12) You type your hotmail and password in to log into a server but then you realize that it’s not your email

14) You buy a robotic pet dog instead of a real pet dog that could actually love you back

15) You do all your shopping on line instead of going to a store

16) You have never heard of a dollar bill or a coin only a magical plastic card called Visa, American express, Master Card, or Discover Card.

17) You’re laughing to yourself about all these things

18) But then you realize there’s no 13

19) You’re furious that I tricked you twice

20) But you’re even angrier because I’m wasting your time talking about missing numbers when I could be talking about more funny things of 2008

13) You’re contemplating sending me a virus for doing this

22) But now you’ve realized that I replaced number 21 with 13

23) Now you’re definitely going to send me a virus

24) However you realize that I probably have some protection for my computer

25) Wow this thing has gotten off track I should probably stop now

26) One last thing this was created by The Platypus Caper originally but I know that someone will try to steal it so you are forgiven in advance

How many of you fell for all three of my tricks. If you did copy and paste it into your profile. If you didn't do it anyways becuase you know that it was fun to read. Just make sure to include number twenty six that way people know you stole it and that I don't really care if you did. Oh yeah and don't think that I'll get mad if you take it because I want it to get around to other people's profiles.
