Flamers need to find something worthwhile to do in their spare time, other than sitting around harassing/abusing others via the internet. There'll be things in life that you won't agree on, and possibly even hate. There are plenty (and when I say plenty, I mean it) of things I totally despise, yet I do not create conflict because of it. I allow others to do what they want, and just ignore what I hate. It's a pretty basic notion, that even an idiot would figure out.

Corad's Author Notes (23/8): I've been on a roll lately :D (shows trash can rolling down hill). Been getting all my stories updated, including Palace Stories! It was a miracle that that story was updated lol. We have two new ideas for Palace Stories - one will be a follow up of Praxis X, and another was given to us by Millenium Ring and Winchester, which involves Praxis confusing his reality with Harry Potter's. Potential titles so far are: Prarry Poxis, Barry Poton, Harron Batter, Haxis Pratter. I'm sure there'll be more potential names soon :D My personal favorite thus far is SAter PettiMOS, or DumbleKOR lol. But yeah...I'll get writing those sometime. ASJ and JAT will hopefully be updated soonish too. My awesome Beta's currently destroying any grammar errors that I've probably put in O.o' I've begun to edit COTW online too, so the Prologue's been done. It's better now, plus there are a few extra people/conversations in it.

Bijoux's Author Notes: (5/1/2009) Finally a chance to update my profile, I believe I've been 15 for several years too many now (shifty eye). Anyways, I graduated High School last year, so now I officially have more time on my hands. I've started a few 'Palace Stories' that have been in need of completion for some amount of months, if not years, so hopefully I can get some of them done and posted. On another note, I've got a deviantArt acount now (Bijoux91), if anyone's interested and I may be posting up some comics at some stage. I'm also trying to write an original story, so if I manage to churn out anything decent enough I'll post it there too.

~Writing - I'm aiming to get something published within the next couple of years, hopefully it'll come out half decent.
~Drawing - I'm only good at cartooning these days, but my old highschool teachers seemed to like my comics at least...

Dislikes:
~Rap - In my opinion it's not music, it's just the same repetitive beat with - usually - a guy going on about all his problems, while a bunch of slutty woman dance around in the background. And on the topic of rap, idiots who drive around with it on full blast so the whole street can hear it seriously need to get a life.
~Flamers - If you don't like something don't read it, it's as simple as that. If more people had brains there'd be fewer flamers around here, that I can assure.
~People who are inconsiderate, liars, two faced or backstabbers - I've had to put up a lot of people like that, particularly in the past few years. People who follow others around and act like sheep also tend to get on the annoying side. And on that note: "Treat other's how you wish to be treated".
~Swearing, drugs and alcohol
~Fangirls - More often than not a horde of screaming teenaged girls will ruin a perfectly good character, for example, Sasuke. I'm not saying all female fans are bad, nor am I saying that all Sasuke fans are annoying, he's just an example of a character that has too many fangirls (who go around cyberspace, arguing with each other about who owns him and who he's going to marry). Another example is that Edward guy from those Twighlight books. I've never read them, probably never will and I have no idea who this guy really is, but I already can't stand him because of all his fangirls - no offence.
~Girls who dress in skanky outfits, cake themselves in makeup then strut around acting as though they're the centre of the universe.
~The Pussy Cat Dolls - One of the worst influences on the face of the Earth. Both them and their music.
~Homophobics - People need to get over it. If it wasn't natural it wouldn't happen, as simple as that.
~The Government, Politics and the Media - They over-exagerate and lie way too much.
~Most modern day, pop music get's on my nerves. No offence to fans, but to me all the guy singers these days sound exactly the same and all the female singers sound exactly the same (with a few exceptions). They all sing about the same thing - getting dumped, getting revenge about being dumped, cheating and getting dumped, hooking up after being dumped. Most of them have whining voices and swear way to often and unnecessarily. It's no wonder there are so many foul-mouthed, rat-bag kids in our generation.
~There's a lot more things that I dislike, but if I went into all of them we'd be here all day :(
