HEY! I'm Sammy4eva but just call me Sammy or Sam =D! Okay so if you like my story you will LOVE RandomAwesomeness's stories. She writes about Twilight and the Outsiders so far. They are my favorite stories and are hilarious! Also, read MysteriousEmily's story. It's amazing. She wrote her own so it's not based off of any book/movie/etc.Anyway here's my profile. Oh and in my stories if there is a Taylor it's RandomAwesomeness, and if you see a Kae then that's MysteriousEmily. She will most likely pop in my Outsiders stories where as RandomAwesomeness will most likely pop in my Twilight stories. Any suggestions are appreciated and I promise I will do my best to use them. Check out Storytwins for our, RandomAwesomeness and I, profile where we will put up stories that we made together!! =D Oh and please don't judge by the first chapter. I get better as I continue :)

Socials may be large, Socials may be rough,
But man, oh man, them Greasers are tuff.
Socials got Mustangs Socials got cash,
But I heart Greasers that roll in trash.
Greasers are great, Greasers are bold,
Put on your Converse shoes and stay gold.

I'M A GREASER GIRL!
A GREASY, GREASY GREASY GIRL!
I'M TUFF, I'M LOUD,
AND DAMNIT, I'M PROUD!!

In my Outsiders story, You've Been Found, I have a lot of added characters in there. Well, here's some of the links to what they mostly resemble. They aren't EXACTLY what they look like, obviously, but it's just to give you an idea. :)

Jessa:http://www.wallpaperez.info/celebrities/Megan-Fox-face-758.html (except a lot paler)

Julie:http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/11800000/Emma-Stone-emma-stone-11816059-767-1222.jpg or http://www.eyeshadowlipstick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/black-eyeliner-brown-eyeshadow.jpg (except a bit blonder in both)

Thumper:http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gW5iOK2GWj4/TN8UfpqYjDI/AAAAAAAABfM/zymcO1dNKcM/s1600/25iafso.jpg (a bit paler)

Lizard:http://media.photobucket.com/image/Tom%20Felton%20brown%20hair/uchihakafu/edddddd.jpg (not as dressed up, obviously)

Snake:http://media.photobucket.com/image/Brown%20hair%20green%20eyes%20guy/Suuns/062207b.jpg (flatter hair and green eyes)

Boxer:http://media.photobucket.com/image/black%20haired%20blue%20eyed%20boys/lil_shortie103/EMO%20boys/660048753_l.jpg (shorter hair and no lip piercings)

Okay so I hope you like them! =D If you have any pictures you think resemble them also, feel free to PM it to me!

92 percent of the teenage population would die if Abercrombie and Fitch said that it wasn't cool to breathe anymore. Put this in your profile if you're part of the 8 percent that would be laughing your head off.

First you have to name your favorite twilight characters in no particular order:

1) Emmett

2) Bella

3) Alice

4) Renesmee

5) Jacob

6) Quil

7) Jasper

8) Rosalie

9) Charlie

10) Esme

11) Carlisle

12) Embry

1. Have you ever read a 6/11 fic? Do you want to? - Quil/Carlisle. WHOA...Um NO!! I really don't want to.

2.Do you think 4 is hot? - Renesmee. NO! I'm a girl that'd be just a bit creepy!

3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant? - Embry got Rosalie pregnant. That would be awkward... Emmett would flip out.

4. Can you recall any fics about 9? - Charlie? A lot.

5. Would 2 and 6 make a good couple? - Bella/Quil. Um not really, Quil is too...um...abnormal for her.

6. 5/9 or 5/10? Why? - Jacob/Charlie no for many many reasons, Jacob/Esme Um no that is just...not good.

7. What would happen if 7 were to walk in on 2 and 12 making out? - Jasper walked in on Bella/Embry making out!! Well I think Jasper would scream,(like a little girl) run all the way to Russia, then come back, beat the crap out of Embry, then tell Edward, and they would have explaining to do.

8. Make up a summary for a 3/10 fic. -Alice/Esme. Esme would meet Alice and then they would break up and Alice would meet Jasper and happily ever after. I think that story would be sick... I have nothing against gays but if I had a choice I wouldn't read it.

9. Is there any such thing as a 1/8 fluff? Emmett/Rosalie fluff? Tons I mean the book has them together.

10. If you wrote a song-fic about 8, what song would you choose? Rosalie. This is an easy one, I'm a Barbie Girl, so fits.

11. If you wrote a 1/6/12 fic, what would your warning be? Emmett/Quil/Embry. Warning: Emmett dancing to Britney Spears with Embry, Quil videotaping in a dress. (don't judge Alice would've dared them...)

12. When was the last time you read a fic about 5?- Jacob, I have no clue...

You're laughing at me now because your older than me by mere months... but when you're 30 and I'm still 29, who will be laughing then? ;-)
