There are several reasons why I may not update. I'm putting my focus in a different story, I'm too busy, writer's block, and/or I'm still planning things out. I tend to change things...alot. Also, I tend to think waaay ahead of the story and find it hard to transition.

And my parents. They don't like me on the computer, but nowadays, they don't say that much.

I want a laptop or a personal computer so bad.

My brothers don't bother me as much since they use my mom's laptop now. Thank goodness.

There's also my laziness...and school...and I'm ranting aren't I?

Well...anyways...if I don't update there's a bunch of reasons.

Current News: November 10, 2009

I'm in about five clubs this year, so it's going to be very busy. Especially since I'm in two different competition teams. I've got college applications to finish. I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo. My inner critic keeps coming out though, so it's really hard.

Last year I was in a huge slump. I couldn't get any more ideas, especially in art since my teacher dislikes my style and my ideas.

Hopefully, this year will be better.

I've also set up a few challenges since I've got so much fanfic ideas it's not even funny.

Challenges: Please tell me if you take any of these challenges! That way I'll be able to put a link to your story on here!

Naruto

Kurama Naruto Challenge

Story Summary (like for an actual story): Being the child of the deceased Namikaze Minato, Naruto is given to his father's clan by his loving mother, Uzumaki Kushina, who is slowly dying. With their powerful and disturbingly real genjutsu, these relatives are the dwindling remnants of a once a prestigious clan: the Kurama clan. A clan that is slowly losing hope...until Naruto, whose bright enthusiasm-charisma, prodigious talent, and love for Konoha inspires them.

Basics: Please be logical. Please. You have no idea how much stories on this site make no sense whatsoever.

If Naruto is like Yakumo, as in, he's got insane genjutsu talent, then please do not make his evil alter ego Kyuubi. The evil alter egos are still a part of the original. The darkness to their light. Kyuubi is not an original part of Naruto.

Requirements:

-Naruto is a member of the main family (through his father). Therefore, he is Yakumo's cousin. They must have a good relationship. DO NOT PAIR YAKUMO AND NARUTO TOGETHER!!

-Naruto must have a conduit (not painting) at least before the time skip.

-No one in the clan hates him for being the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. (Whether it be because they admire/are descended from Kitsune, who are master illusionists, or they understand the burden he bears, etc.)

-Naruto refuses to believe that the Third ordered his Aunt and Uncle's death. He is close to the Third. (The clan will have better relations with the Third than in canon)

-No NaruSaku or SakuNaru or SasuNaru or NaruSasu

Bonus Points:

-If a dying Kushina, who does not want her son to see her that way and feel the pain of her death, leaves him with the Kurama clan and he grows up thinking his mother hated him (very sad when he thinks of her, somewhat resentful) until he later finds out the truth.

Last Note: Naruto loves Konoha. He is a forgiving person. Please remember that. Keep him as close to character as you can. So no hating Konoha or giving up on his dream to be Hokage (because that's not like him-he is determined). He is a cheerful goofball with a super strong will. He loves pranks. That's what we love about him. Canon Naruto was dense, not dumb.

Most importantly, this is an AU, so please have fun!

This is a story about God. Read if you believe in him, and read even if you don't.

A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her. When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her." Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read this won’t repost it?

Repost this if you truly believe in God.

The Top Eleven Things Everyone Should Know About Twilight:

1. Werewolves are only immortal as long as they want to be. Yeah. Kind of strange. Apparently it has to do with how often they choose to become wolves. Of course, these are quite strange werewolves who don’t follow the moon.

2. Vampires sparkle in the sun. Really. And no one ever laughs at them when they do this. Then again, they only ever show this to lovestruck teenage girls.

3. In a werewolf/vampire/human threesome, the human has to be in the middle so the freezing vampire and burning werewolf balance each other out. Or something like that.

4. It is not at all creepy to make an unborn baby your soulmate nor is it creepy to raise your soulmate from infancy as its father/brother and then become its lover.

5. Author Stephanie Meyer is apparently a big supporter of the rights of demon babies.

6. Wanting to literally eat your girlfriend is romantic, not deeply disturbing.

7. Jeopardizing a fragile treaty between two very dangerous, deadly groups because you can’t control your hormones is endearing, not painfully stupid.

8. When you’re friends with vampires and werewolves, you no longer are required to care about your human friends and family.

9. . When a guy you have been dating for a few months abruptly leaves and never plans on coming back and you take to cliff diving to hear his voice, you are in no way crazy nor should you look into therapy.

10. You should never, ever let Bella and Edward name anything. Ever.

11. TELLING a group of vampires that want to kill your baby that she is half human will do nothing. Finding someone who claims that they are half-human solves everything. They’ll even kill that vampire that’s out to get you for you.
