I have been writing fanfiction since the age of thirteen. My first story was based off of the Dawn Rochelle series by Lurlene McDaniel. If it wasn't for her I don't know if I'd be writing today. Since then I have written fanfictions for Fruits Fasket, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ranma 1/2, Trinity Blood, some anime crossovers, Vampire Kisses, and Tokio Hotel. I have since taken down a lot of my older fictions, seeing as they were absolutely atrocious. I do not know if I will ever bring them back, maybe someday.

I do, however, hope to write something original. Do I wish to have anything published? Maybe, but I'll work on the actual writing first. Until then, if I ever write anything original I'll be sure to post it on the sites linked above.

Please forgive my profile for the time being. I'm currently in the process of transferring my quote collection to my quotes blog on Tumblr (you can access it via my homepage link; Homepage Across the World Wide Web UndeadQuotes).

Quotes, conversations, interviews:

Brother, what took you so long? He put holes in me! -Alphonse Elric

I am the cursed Wormy Arm... no wait... uh... I am the cursed Demon Armor! Once your body become one with my steel, you will lose all emotion and be a warrior of death. For I will take your soul! -Alphonse Elri

Humankind can not gain anything without giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believe that to be the world's one and only truth. But the world isn't perfect and the law is incomplete. Equivalent Exchange doesn't encompass everything that goes on here. But I still choose to believe in it's principle, that all things come at a price. That there's an end, and a flow, a cycle, that the pain we work through did have a reward. And that anyone who is determined and perseveres will get something of that value in return. Even if it's not what they expected. I don't think of Equivalent Exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise between my brother and I. A promise someday we'll see each other again. -Alphonse Elric

You wouldn't stop either if someone were chasing you! -Alphonse Elric

On the day we left, we burned down the family home and all the familiar things inside. Because some memories, aren't meant to leave traces. -Alphonse Elric

They don't seem too happy. You haven't changed Brother, you're still causing trouble. -Alphonse Elric

I've got character, I've got compassion, I've got the confidence of a genius alchemist, and I've got style. -Russell Tringum

He tries to act all cool, but really he's a sore loser. He'd never tell anyone if he got hurt in a fight or had trouble with his research. He pretends he doesn't care. But I've seen his face when he thinks no one is watching. -Fletcher Tringum (talking about Russell

Nothing's perfect. The world's not perfect. But it's there for us, trying the best it can. That's what makes it so damn beautiful. -Roy Mustang

I haven't used alchemy since that day. I gave that up to. I start to every now and then but each time I try, I see the faces of all the people, dying because of my mistakes. That what this eye sees. -Roy Mustang

But of course! I am amazing! -Ayame Sohma

Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black. She has a knife, knife, knife, stuck in her back, back, back. She cannot breathe, breathe, breathe. She cannot cry, cry, cry. That's why she begs, begs, begs. She begs to die, die, die. -White is for Magic; Laurie Stolarz

Rock-a-bye Christy on Witches' Hill. When the winds blow the patients will kill. When the nurse comes, I'll pretend I'm asleep. then shoot her with needles so she won't make a peep. -Project 17; Laurie Stolarz

On the way home from school I was overwhelmed by despair. If you asked me what kind or why I wouldn't have an answer for you. Maybe it comes from things like heartless, thoughtless teasing; stupid prejudices; or maybe the words that die unsaid in my throat when I'm at school. As I walk home just looking at the blueness of the sky is enough to make me cry. I am myself. Just myself. I shouldn't need to feel ashamed of it. So I reject everything and think about stupid things. I think up only stupid things. It's all so pointless, so when do I get to escape it? I'm already so lonely I can't take it anymore. All I want to express is this pain in my heart. -Phantom Dream vol.1; "Request" by Natsuki Takaya

You know that if the guy you're fighting is looking right at you while he licks the blood off his sword, he does not want nice happy things to happen to you. -Summer Mullins; Anime Insider

I'm not a vegetarian because I like animals, it's because I hate plants. -unknown

Top 5 Reasons Why Insanity Is Awesome: 1) You're never alone. You can make up all the friends you want. 2) It's always easy to find someone to talk to. Inanimate objects are great listeners. 3) You're never homeless. Insane asylums are warm and give you free food. 4) You can get away with anything just by pleading insanity. 5) Clothes aways fit. Straight jackets are one size fits all. -unknown

A was talking to a white man and said: "I'm black. When I was born I was black. When I grew up I was black. When I'm sick I'm black. When I go in the sun I'm black. When I'm cold I'm black. When I die I'll still be black. But you: When you were born you were pink. When you grew up you were white. When you're sick you're green. When you go in the sun you're red. When you're cold you're blue. When you die you'll be purple. And you have the nerve to call me colored." -unknown

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Walk beside me and be my friend. -Albert Camus

If it's true that the fear of public speaking is even greater than the fear of death, then -- if you think about it -- the average guy at a funeral would rather be in the casket than delivering the eulogy. -unknown

A man who deliberately covers himself in poo is not sexy. -Mike Rowe

A lot of what I do is completely real. There are no tricks. And a lot of what I do is an illusion. It is up to you to determine what is real and what is illusion. -Criss Angel

I have never thought of what I do as magic or myself as a magician. What I do pushes the limits of magic and traditional magicians. I refer to all my performances as demonstrations rather then “tricks” because they are a compilation of so many different techniques rolled into one overall experience. It’s a neutral term that allows me to blur the line between reality and illusion -Criss Angel

When you think like a child, your imagination is free and anything is possible. -Criss Angel

The mind has an overwhelming power to infiltrate and influence every aspect of our lives. Its potential is limitless, When the mind, body, and spirit work together and harmoniously, anything is possible. I truly believe the mind controls every aspect of the body. Your body is a slave to it. So if you’re a positive thinker, your body is going to react in a positive way. If you’re a negative thinker, your body will cave to those negative thoughts. -Criss Angel

People are scared to go into elevators, people are scared to fly in an airplane, so they really miss out. There are so many things that they can't do because of their fears. It's not a physical thing, it's a mental thing. For me, I believe that the mind is such a strong, powerful tool. -Criss Angel

My performance goes beyond magic and really touches people. There are many art forms coming together and melding: magic, creatures, performance art, original music. All work together to touch somebody's soul and connect to them and let them escape. It's not about the tricks. -Criss Angel

There’s real danger in most everything I attempt. I don’t want to die, but risk is a part of what I do. I could die crossing the street. You never know what’s going to happen. I know for sure you can’t live your life in fear. I don’t. I embrace the danger that’s involved in my day-to-day life. It makes me cautious. -Criss Angel

I don’t identify myself as a stuntman, even though so much of what I do involves stunts at the highest level. I love pushing the envelope--my own envelope. I’m willing to take chances and have been successful in utilizing my ability and my art. -Criss Angel

I want to be able to please myself, and not have to care about commercial success. -Criss Angel

You can't please everyone and trying to do so is the kiss of death. -Criss Angel

A lot of what I do is real, and much of what I do is an illusion. It’s up to you to decipher which is which. -Criss Angel

A lot of what I do is completely real. There are no tricks. And a lot of what I do is an illusion. It is up to you to determine what is real and what is illusion. -Criss Angel

Word of mouth has been great. I don't care about reviews positive or negative. People in seats seeing something they have never seen before, that's what this is about. -Criss Angel

I willingly choose to put myself in situations that are traumatic, challenging, brutal tests of strength and spirit. -Criss Angel

I’m fearless. I always try to focus on the worst thing that could happen--and for me it’s always the same. Death. I accept death. So what do I fear if I don’t fear death. Nothing. -Criss Angel

To be honest, the best word I could think of to describe what I do was mindfck. It really sums up the Criss Angel experience. If I cold have gotten away with it, I would have used it, but I knew the marketability of the term would be very limited. -Criss Angel

Women flock to him. Guys want to hang out with him. As long as he’s nice to kids and pets, he can’t fail! -Felix Rappaport (Talking about Criss Angel.)

I love drums. They are my therapy and I often play them up in my hotel suite to relax before we start filming Mindfreak episodes. -Criss Angel

I started playing drums and, believe it or not, the accordion at age six. Soon after, I dropped the accordion. Thank god... -Criss Angel

Before I began focusing in magic as my art form, I thought it was my destiny to become a drummer in a rock band. I thought being a musician was a lot sexier then being a geeky magician. -Criss Angel

I never thought magicians were the type of guys who had groupies or a large following. Yeah... they’re called the Loyals. -Criss Angel

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all for coming to the show. For my next trick this is something I've been working on for many, many years. It should not, can not be repeated, and most importantly, it has to be performed by a highly pissed off professional. -Luke Blade (Played by Criss Angel which just makes it all the better.)

I've heard it said "less is more." Well I have no idea what that means, so here's just "more." I have internally branded this kind of activity "Klogging." It's kind of a multi purpose title: 1) it's Klayton Blogging. 2) It pretty much "clogs" your brain with sometimes useless information (but it helps unclog mine a little.) -Klayton

I have a moderately healthy colon (or at least what my doctor said the last time he had his way with me.) -Klayton

I burst into the room like Kramer from Seinfeld ( which I love to do b/c I love to see how high I can get Bret to jump after scaring the "Taco Bell" out of him.) -Klayton

Absolutely make sure to put your seatbelt on and tuck a fresh barf bag into your pocket in the event you need it, and check out the "Birthwrong remix by Blue Stahli" -Klayton

Hi. Firstly I wanted to thank everyone for all the comments and e-mails – they keep coming in and they're all relatively positive (except for that one dude who wanted to make sure he told me how much I suck. I'm with you, dude. There's absolutely no way I could ever be as cool as you, so if you ever need to get in touch with me again, I'll just be here totally sucking, full- time.) -Klayton

Instead of me blabbing via text anymore about it, why don't you just simply -watch- me blab about it via video instead? -Klayton

I have hundreds of demos that I've created over the years (and most will never see the light of day, thank the Lord Almighty.) -Klayton

Hi, it's Klayton, and I am in the bowels of Detroit Michigan. Uh... maybe the upper respiratory area, not so much the bowels. -Klayton

So I'm working on the very first song which is called, at this moment, Through the Gates. It was initially Through the Gates of Taco Bell but there was this lawsuit thing and I had to pull it. So then I was like well, I'll be clever and I'll do Through the Gates of the Bathroom After Eating Taco Bell but that became too much of a pain in the ass to write. -Klayton

If you're not human, then you shouldn't be reading this. -Klayton

It would be cool to have new Klog posts with pics that will make more people say "I don't get it. What is the point of this?!" -Klayton

Because I can. -Klayton

I'm off to explore new things today. I'll keep you posted, like it or not. -Klayton

I have a buttload (eww) of updates to drop on you (double-eww.) -Klayton

Cool clothes, sexy ladies and my music. What a great combo. -Klayton

I am undeniably a geek. -Klayton

I feel like a CNN reporter, giving you blow by blow news of the destruction of a Blackstar (not to be confused with the destruction of the Deathstar. That's old news.) -Klayton

I have seen many of you asking the same general questions: "When can we expect Chapter 02?" "How long will it take to complete?" "Will there be puppies in heaven?" -Klayton

I had breakfast this morning. It was great. I brushed my teeth too - awesome. I put some pants on at some point as well, but i can't remember when that actually happened. I guess maybe that's why i got arrested at the bagel place this morning? Note to self: "Pants before bagels." Sigh... -Klayton

In the true spirit of the Twitter age, I'll end all these updates off on a very self-important and serious note: I drank some water earlier and now I need to take a leak. I'll Tweet later to let you know how it goes. -Klayton

There will be a constant stream of music (and everyone likes free stuff . . . unless it's a sexual disease). -Bret

Long walks on the beach, moonlit serenades, dancing like nobody's watchi--wait, what website is this for again? -Bret

Also, anything that causes spontaneous hip gyration…I'm a big fan of that. -Bret

A lot went into throwing this mofo together and no one was spared (baby seals, children, the elderly, memorial pictures of Bob Ross, assholes that talk to the screen during a movie). At any rate, i'm hoping that when you play this really freaking loud, it will either keep you from slamming your car into a few pedestrians, or just inspire a lot of spontaneous hip gyrations (NSFW) while wearing . . . not a lot (go ahead and keep a camera nearby, just in case). -Bret

Thanks to the intrepid detective skills of the 3 (possibly 4) people who listen to Blue Stahli (either as a weapon against others or a masochistic need to destroy their eardrums), i've been alerted that the trailer for The Final Destination featuring my track ULTRAnumb is now online! -Bret

So what in the hell is the "Deluxe Edition"? Well, it's a special single filled with mostly nude photos of me surrounded by a room full of amateur taxidermy and Care Bears posters. -Bret

Hell is a nice place to visit. -Aiden (myspace page)

There is no real me, only an entity, something of misery. And though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there. -Knife Blood Nightmare by Aiden

Flyin with my cane never was a problem all around the world... except in Budapest - it's "dangerous". -Strify

There's always something going on that's really great (laughing) like the one show were people threw batteries at Georg. He actually loves it, so don't hesitate to keep on doing it. -Tom Kaulitz

We have to play the instruments in English and that's not so hard. -Tom Kaulitz

Georg likes music because it's his only friend (laughs). -Tom Kaulitz

I just want to have five percent of Bill's energy... just five percent Bill... -Tom Kaulitz

I take red because it's the color of love. But now I must chose black, the color of Tom's soul. -Bill Kaulitz

Georg, you can only buy a tent. But you can stay in my house... in the closet, with all the cleaning supplies. -Bill Kaulitz

If you take a look at old pictures... George was so ugly, and he's ugly right now. -Bill Kaulitz

I think we all have people in our life that mean very, very much to us, who give us a lot of strength and who are always behind us. And still, we are all searching for one person, the right person, the person that is still much, much more than love, the person that means everything to you - and, Georg, I wanted to tell you today that you are not this person. -Bill Kaulitz

Next Tokio Hotel Tv, Bill's ass, live! -Bill Kaulitz

A lot of stuff happens. But the craziest thing happened in L.A., we were sitting in our backstage room and all the sudden a girl climbed through our window on the second floor - and she lost her camera. I felt really sorry for her. -Bill Kaulitz

Olives are just as disgusting as mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and all that other stuff. There is so much awful food and it's important to me not to listen to the people who are saying that I'll like that stuff eventually. Total nonsense. You know these people who pretend they are such grown-ups just because they are eating asparagus and in the end they would love to vomit, but to keep the appearance they say, "Oh, it tastes delicious and everyone will like it eventually." To me this attitude is ridiculous. I didn't like asparagus when I was three, don't like it now and I won't like it when I am thirty-seven. -Bill Kaulitz

I can't describe it in any words what we are feeling right now, it's just incredible. And tonight we don't want to thank our record company, our management, our producers, and we don't want to thank us. Tonight we just want to thank our fans all over the world, thank you so much, that means a lot to us, thank you so much. -Bill Kaulitz; VMAs 2008

My own bodyguard wishes I was shorter. "Do you know how hard it is to protect someone a foot or more taller than you? Why can't you be short?" -Bill Kaulitz

A girl in Salt Lake once asked me, ‘Why are you wearing make-up, are you a fag?’ I then said ‘Well, if I'm a fag for wearing make-up, you must be a dyke in blue jeans.’ I also informed her that she was just angry because I was prettier than she was. -Davey Havok

Davey doesn't watch the damn road when he's driving. I'm sure if we crashed he would be fine and I would be embedded in a tree. If he ever kills me with his driving though, I'm gonna come back as a squirrel and run up his pant leg. -Jade Puget

It began probably when I was about five years old, putting on my mother's lipstick. -Davey Havok

When he calls you gay again, grab his butt. -Jade Puget (to a fan asking for advice about someone at school calling him gay for liking AFI)

I find drug use disrespectful, self destructive and weak. I want no part of it. I believe in complete respect for myself and others. -Davey Havok

Adam likes violent sex. All you bondage babes out there; the drummer with the hair likes rough sex. -Davey Havok

Humidity means that once you start sweating, you never stop. -Hunter Burgan

Remember, this is America, and your votes don't really mean much. -Hunter Burgan

Hmm, corn nuts, I can't say I'm a big fan. I'm more of an apple pie kind of guy because it reminds me of sex and death. -Jade Puget

God, remember Tab cola? It was so nasty, possibly the worst soft drink ever, even worse than Crystal Pepsi. I'll always think of Tab as the beverage of choice for child molesters because I knew this creepy old man who drank it and he must have been a child molester because all old people are child molesters. -Jade Puget

Perhaps you could call your cat Meow so it could say it's own name. Or how about Stupid Cat Get Out Of Here. That would really confuse it if you tried to call it over to you. -Jade Puget

Ever had those little gummy pizzas? N-a-s-t-y. -Jade Puget

I don't think they allow poor people to visit America. -Jade Puget

You know, I never stopped to think that the majority of our video does indeed take place in my crotch. I must contemplate the significance of this. -Jade Puget

I'm craving chicken and granola bars like a pregnant woman. -Jade Puget

Tokio Hotel for the win. -Jade Puget

Crowd surfing is a product of car commercials. -Davey Havok

I wish terrible things upon the person that just did that. -Davey Havok (after being hit in the crotch with a shoe by an idiot in the crowd)

I don't wear shiny pants. -Hunter Burgan

I'm embarrassed because I haven't shaved. I'm in a room full of girls and I haven't shaved. -Hunter Burgan

A kid told me a couple of nights ago, in New York, that my sideburns are a real inspiration to him... his sideburns were very inspired by mine. -Jade Puget

If you're gonna come up here and sing with me, don't sing the wrong words in my ear because that really fucks me up. -Davey Havok

Oh shit, I lost a ring. I sure hope it’s in my pocket. This mother-fuckin' ring. Ok, I had one and it broke in half and I got another one, and now it disappeared. Continue with your interview. I’m hoping it’s in my pocket. -Davey Havok

I'm pencil girl! -Davey Havok

Who steals a shoe? For future reference, anyone who takes a shoe is a poser. -Davey Havok (after having his shoe removed by a crazed fan during a stage-dive)

I don't think there's such a thing as a happy teenager. -Davey Havok

Please excuse me if it seems I'm throwing a little tantrum, but I cant get a microphone that fucking works. -Davey Havok

You’re denying your heritage. You should eat cheese! -Davey Havok (quoting his mom)

If I was gay I would be proud of it. -Davey Havok

Do you want to see my hunk of burning love? -Davey Havok

The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much. -Davey Havok

I experienced one of my most starstruck moments at the Oasis show. Now, there are a handful of people who will get me starstruck, but generally, I'm able to handle myself because if I meet them it's at a place where I wouldn't be surprised to do so. I did not expect to see Trent Reznor in Las Vegas at this Oasis show, so when I did, I had a little episode. Needless to say I totally dorked out and fan-boyed all over the accommodating gentleman for about 4.5 seconds before letting him be free of me. He was cool. It was nifty. Bowie, you're next. -Davey Havok

Rabbits. You know, bunnies. If you don't look out for them, the little bastards sneak up on you and bite you and shit. -Davey Havok

I look like an inflatable fuck-doll. -Davey Havok

Some nice young lady got me fuzzy socks. How I love the socks in their fuzziness. A thank you for my b-day present to the girl I did not meet. -Davey Havok

Man, I don't know a damn thing about sports, I wear make-up and nail polish, remember? -Davey Havok

One day, when I was young, my Dad brought home a guitar. I was quite intrigued and went to pick it up but he said, "Son, unless you can wail on that thing like Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme or maybe Steve Vai when he was playing with David Lee Roth and he had the sweet double-necked guitar that was like two legs coming out of a heart, keep your damn hands off it!" And I never touched a guitar again. So to answer your question, yes, I answer the phone whether it rings or not. -Jade Puget

Tell him to come check me out when I'm shredding some sweet finger tapping solos and then he'll be like, "Power chords blah blah blah" and I'll hit the whammy bar and it'll sound like a plane crashing at an air show and then he'll try to say some other stuff like, "Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda" and that's when I fire up the wah-wah pedal and it'll be like "Wokka wokka wokka wo-wokka wokka" all up in his freakin' face. -Jade Puget

We're getting super radly awesome close to being done. We finally finished backing vocals and they came out totally 100 neat. I made plenty of supercool faces while I was singing, like this one where I had my eyes all clenched tight and then I hit this high note and looked up to the sky and slowly raised my fist like Whitney Houston in "I Will Always Love You". Another time, I ate all the cheese bagels and Adam was mad. In other news, we had a photo shoot today for the album artwork in this old abandoned building. Here's what happened to me there: I stepped on a dead mouse, sat in a stinky pigeon nest, and set my glasses down in crack-head puke. -Jade Puget

I like your jacket, it reminds me of toast and butter. -Jade Puget

An exclamation mark makes everything I say more exciting! -Jade Puget

Maybe this has already been posted, but I thought I'd clear up a few questions about the video...oh wait, first things first. Hi. How are you? You look great. -Jade Puget

The Despair Faction is not meant to be something that members can hold over the head of those who don't belong. We realize not everyone can afford membership but, at the same time, we want to make sure that everyone who did join gets the most for their money. The upcoming shows did not sell out so quickly because DF members got first crack at the tickets, they only comprise a small portion of the people who will be there. They just simply sold out fast. Furthermore, we'll be coming through your town so many times in the next year that'll you'll be sick of seeing us. I know there's alot of people who are dedicated fans and simply don't have 30, you will be well taken care of and will get into shows even if I have to come pick you up at your house, take you to the show, and sneak you in the back door in a drum case. Now let's all make like Rodney King and get along. -Jade Puget

Well, I was named after Mick Jagger's daughter, Jade Jagger. How emasculating is it to be named after a girl! But I think I handled it well, it's not like I ended up wearing makeup and girl's pants. -Jade Puget

People didn't seem to like the idea that we were invading their space with our loose California morals. Or maybe they just didn't like the look of Smith's beard. Somebody thought it hilarious to pull the fire alarm during the show (luckily it was before our set), causing the entire club to have to empty out onto the frigid, rainy night sidewalk and wait for the fire marshall to clear the very un-burned Webster Hall. Hunter pointed out that the fire marshall probably showed up and said, "We have a report of a fire inside." A Fire Inside. Buh dum dump. -Jade Puget

I got up at 6:30 a.m. I heard this hour existed but didn't really believe it 'till now. -Jade Puget

Just because I had a few meaningless one night patty-cake encounters doesn't mean I'm a whore. -Jade Puget

We'll be playing in Minnesota in the Mall of America, at the mini golf course... in the windmill. -Jade Puget

A Fire Inside, to me, means these three other guys who drink all the soy milk backstage before I get a drop of it. -Jade Puget

We once left Hunter at a gas station in the middle of the night in Belgium or someplace like that. We had stopped at a rest stop and everyone got off the bus to buy crappy gas station food and I guess he got off the bus and was on the phone. We all came out the store and got on the bus and drove away. Twenty minutes later it was like, "Where's Hunter?" Since no one in the crew plays bass, we turned around, drove back, and he was still on the phone and didn't even know we had left. We also left Jerry, our production manager, on a ferry in Sweden some time last year -Adam Carson

Mikey Rhino can sleep through anything, Davey eats jars and jars of almond butter which really annoys me for some strange inexplicable reason and I once thought I was hilarious tossing room service trays off the twenty-fifth floor balcony of my hotel room until I realized that was just about the most tired and cliché "rock star" thing I could do. People in bands have been trashing hotel rooms for decades and if I really wanted to do something shocking I'd have to like make the bed before I left or something like that. -Adam Carson

(About having a tongue ring) I had one but got tired of it. I just woke up one day and realized that I thought it was dumb that I had chipped a few teeth by biting it accidentally. Also, seeing every sorority girl on TRL with one pissed me off. -Adam Carson

My name is Adam, and if you quote this message then I will have a quote. -Adam Carson

I encourage everyone to check out the “Adam Carson is gay” forum on Myspace; and if you don't like that, check out “Adam Carson is sexy.” -Adam Carson

I don’t like photo shoots. At all. I’m a drummer, not a model. -Adam Carson

Jade stole my answer. -Hunter Burgan

Every time I have to fill up my car, I place an evil curse on George W. Bush... that bastard. -Hunter Burgan

(Hunters cell phone rings) Its says private. I don’t even know who this is, I’m gonna answer anyway. (answers) Oh, hi mom! -Hunter Burgan

(Reads the side of a pen) I don’t trust pens that say do not shake on them. (Throws pen behind him and gets a new one and then he shakes the hell out of it) -Hunter Burgan

I kan nawt spel gud... doesn't it suck that I can't spell? -Davey Havok

On the way to the movies someone called me Mr. Murder before flashing a camera in my face. It made me wanna go on a killing spree a little bit. -Davey Havok

Can't the lemons and pancakes just get along? -Jade Puget

At the time we were really into skating, and skating and punk rock and hardcore go hand in hand so-- There's a horse! There's a horse, and a little dog, and a woman in a hat! -Davey Havok

It certainly is possible. People get bent out of shape about so much. It's not really a concern of mine either way. I write what I write and I write honestly from the heart. That is the case, no matter what the topic is. -Davey Havok

Oh man, I hope they don't procreate! We should have included birth control with the record. I didn't even think of that. I didn't think of the whole procreation aspect, of the results. -Davey Havok

But yeah! It's exciting to finally have something out even if it's one song. I know most of you probably already have rips of Stiff Kittens but dig up some change in the cushions of your couch and buy it. If you put the change in the CD tray of your computer and close it, the money goes right to Apple and the song automatically downloads to your desktop. On second though, there will be one person who actually does that and then gets mad because their computer bursts into flames, so please don't put change in your computer people, I lied. -Jade Puget

Decemberunderground is a time and a place. It is where the cold can huddle together in darkness and isolation. It is a community of those detached and disillusioned who flee to love, like winter, in the recesses below the rest of the world. -Davey Havok

Carolyn: -highfives- GOOD FANGIRL

Cecia: I swear, if john ever hurts you, Ima rip his dick off. Srsly.

Myself: OHDEARGOD. PLEASE. NO MORE SNOW.
Jessica: Can we get god some head and shoulders please!! Cause his dandruff is getting bad...
Myself: LMAO. WIN.

Interviewer: I don't think the vampires in Trinity Blood really sleep. Do they sleep?
Troy: No, they don't sleep. I've never seen Abel Nightroad sleep. I have seen him eat.
Mike: And be in pain. And change forms.
Troy: But never sleep. Maybe he doesn't sleep. Has he slept?
Mike: It hasn't been covered.
Troy: He said that he doesn't sleep. He asked for a pillow one time because he wanted to try and sleep while he was on the train, but I don't think he ever slept. Now we're giving away the show.
Mike: Just the pillow part.
Troy: That's a critical point in the story, though. The pillow.

Interviewer: Is Bill in pain? How do you cheer him up?
Tom: I don't think he's in pain. Even if he is, he can't complain because he lost his voice. Usually Bill is the one talking non-stop, and it is really annoying. At the moment I am spending the most relaxed time in my life! If anyone is doing the talking, it's me, and Bill can't do anything about it. I love it! Yesterday, he wrote "Shut the fuck up!" with his eyeliner on a sheet of paper. If I get too annoying, he shows me that paper.

MuchMusic: What are some of your most embarrassing 'guilty pleasures'?
Tom: (laughs) I wouldn't admit to them. But Georg, he's a David Hasselhoff fan.
MuchMusic: How "German" of you...
Georg: Oh, come on - not again. He's told this joke, like, 10 times now.
Tom: It's not a joke. It's the truth, but it's embarrassing.
Georg: (rolls eyes)
Bill: I love dogs, but that's not embarrassing. I just really love dogs. You know, if I see a dog I just go crazy.
MuchMusic: Any kind in particular?
Bill: No, any dog. When I see a dog, it's like, "Oh my God, come here, come here!"
Tom: And Georg really likes to surf videos on YouPorn, and that's also embarassing. (laughs) I'm joking.

MuchMusic: Hey Georg, does it bother you when people call you "George"?
Georg: Um, people can call me whatever they want - Georg or George.
Tom: Or you know, on his case where he stores his bass, he wrote "David Listing." (laughs) He likes the name David because of Hasselhoff. George Hasslehoff!
Georg: (groans)
All: (laughs)

MuchMusic: So we all know how you got your name, but how did you come up with your band's symbol/logo?
Tom: You know, the idea was that in this logo we had a lot of T's and a lot of H's. And, yeah, that's what it is - it wasn't meant to be a big deal.
Bill: We just wanted something that was very simple. And, like, everyone can draw it and that was the idea so you can paint it on walls --
Tom: -- or windows --
Bill: -- or my neck. (laughs)
MuchMusic: Who designed it?
Bill: We did it together with a guy.
Tom: I think it was my idea.
All: (groans)

MuchMusic: Have you ever actually worn traditional German clothing like lederhosen for Oktoberfest?
Tom: No, never. Sometimes Georg does, when he's dancing to David Hasselhoff.
Bill: We've never even been to Oktoberfest so far.
Tom: No, I hate Oktoberfest.
MuchMusic: Do you drink beer?
Tom: Yeah, we drink a lot of beer, but not at Oktoberfest.
MuchMusic: Well, I read this study that states the average German drinks 120 liters of beer per year.
Tom: We drink that in one month.
All: (laughs)
Bill: No, we drink a lot of beer, but in America it's really hard because you have to be 21 to drink alcohol.
Tom: But not in Canada, right?
MuchMusic: No, here in Ontario it's 19.
Tom: 19?
Gustav: (throws hands up into the air) Yes!
All: (laughs)
MuchMusic: But in Montreal, it's 18.
Georg: We love Montreal!
Bill: It's hard, because in Germany you have to be 18 and we were always, like, "Oh, c'mon - 18, 18, 18..." and now we are 18 and we come to America.
Tom: And you have to be 21.
MuchMusic: Do you have any favourite kinds of beer?
Bill: Um, Heineken. Heineken is a nice beer.
Tom: I don't care.
Georg: I prefer German beer.
Gustav: I like the Czech Budweiser.

MuchMusic: Is there anyone in particular you'd love to work with?
Bill: Yeah, I dunno - I think there are some dreams for every band to do something with, like, the Rolling Stones or whatever, but I think, yeah, let's see.
Tom: In the summer we go back into the studio to record some songs, and I say, let's see what happens.
Bill: And then we can talk to other people, but I'm not sure, I don't have anyone in mind yet.
MuchMusic: David Hasselhoff?
Tom: Yeah, David Hasselhoff! That would be great for Georg. Maybe a dancing project with Georg and David Hasselhoff. (laughs)
MuchMusic: Speaking of dancing, a fan wanted to know if you, Tom, knew the Soulja Boy dance.
Tom: Yeah, I know the Soulja Boy dance, but I'm not a good dancer. No, Georg can do it, he's a very good dancer.
MuchMusic: Can we video you doing it and put it up on YouTube?
Tom: Yeah, Georg can. He was doing the dance in the hotel room. Yeah, Georg can do it. (laughs) No, I'm not a dancer. I'm a shy guy.
Georg: Oh, c'mon. You showed it to me this morning!
Tom: No, that was you!
Bill: I don't know this dance.
Tom: I've seen the video and the personal videos that people have uploaded to YouTube who do the dance, but you know, I'm not a dancer - I'm more a sexy guitar player. (laughs)
MuchMusic: Tomorrow night at the concert, we want to see the dance.
Tom: Yeah, maybe at the show. Together with David Hasselhoff and Georg.

Interviewer: What is it that you don't like about your bandmates?
Georg: Gustav is bitchy sometimes, Bill is a bit egoistic and Tom... is just Tom.
Interviewer: If you were stuck in an elevator, with whom of those three would you like to be stuck?
Georg: With Gustav, because I'm sure that he would get us out of there before the emergency service would.

Interviewer: A prank which always reminds you of your childhood...
Georg: When I was 8 years old, a friend and I were bored. He started to run and I threw a piece of wood at him, but instead it hit a Mercedes. I went home and hid in my room for 3 days, scared to death.
Interviewer: And a more recent prank?
Georg: I've been at a park at night with Tom and some friends. We made a campfire and when it grew bigger, we couldn't think of anything better to extinguish it with, than deodorant. Of course it got worse and the police came immediately. In the end Bill got all the trouble for it because we were already gone.

Interviewer: We can't imagine you being in love... do you change much?
Bill: I'm considerate, passionate and terribly romantic. I love in a very affectionate way and share everything with my girl. Unfortunately there's much I don't have...

Interviewer: What do you do when you want some intimacy with your girlfriends?
Bill: It's not a problem since we're all single.
Gustav: It's true that the band doesn't let us have any real relationships. We're away a lot and also busy with music.
Tom: We can take advantage of it when we're on tour and everybody has his own hotel room (laughs).
Interviewer: Does that mean you're the type to have adventures?
Bill: Not in my case. I prefer a real relationship. I don't like to hurt girls.
Tom: Sometimes there can be a connection with a fan during a concert and if we meet each other afterwards, why not get to know each other better if we get along well?

Interviewer: You've traveled many roads since your debuts with Devilish, your first group (collective crazy laughter at the mention of Devilish). Will these songs come back one day under the name Tokio Hotel?
Bill: No! Oh my God!
Gustav: Why would we do something like that? We wouldn't remake an album with the songs from Devilish for all the money in the world.
Georg: We know that some disks are still in circulation, but we warn the fans: don't buy them on Ebay, they're really not worth it!
Bill: That was our stupid past. And please, don't ask anymore. In any case, that won't happen. Even if we can't really deny it, we're still the same group, the same music. But the level really wasn't the same. It was horrible, there's no other way to say it. At the time, we were young, it was the very beginning. We were very proud of what we did and what we did on stage. It's evidently part of us.
Tom: 'Leb' die Sekunde' was based on a Devilish song, that...
Bill: (interrupting immediately) ...evolved a lot.
Georg: So, there's still a part of Devilish that exists in us, even today.

Interviewer: Gustav and Georg, aren't you a bit frustrated when it's always Bill and Tom that get put in the front?
Georg: As you can see, Bill and Tom talk all day, and it's been like this for seven years. Gustav and I, we are just a little calmer. But beware, because in the back, it's us pulling the strings. (laughs)
Tom: That's not all true. In fact, they are not very good with grammar and they always get 1/20 in German, that's why they prefer to stay silent. (laughs)

Interviewer: Did you meet other artists in LA?
All: Oh yes.
Georg: Tom has lots to say on the subject… (laughs)
Interviewer: Which star did you meet, Tom?
Tom: I met Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls in Interscope’s offices. She fell in love with me at first sight – it was the real deal. (laughs) Several hours later, our love culminated in a passionate evening together.
Bill: Tom exaggerates. We did spend a memorable evening in LA with Nicole Scherzinger, on her birthday. Nicole’s a really lovely girl. When she heard we were in LA, she issued an invitation for us to spend the evening with her.
Georg: Whilst Tom devoured Nicole with his eyes, me, I spent time sympathising with the other girls in the Pussycat Dolls – it was a real pleasure. (sighs)

Interviewer: What turns you on?
Tom: I'm the typical hunter and collector. I just love it, when they first pretend not to be interested.
Interviewer: And what's a turn off?
Tom: Dirty talk. Women should talk a bit less during sex. Screaming's ok...

Interviewer: Do you know how to wash dirty clothes?
Bill: When we're at home then Mum is washing our clothes. But we do it ourselves when we're on tour. Either in the hotel or in the studio.
Georg: Correct. You have to watch out that it's ordered by white and dark. That's not so difficult. What annoys me the most, is the ironing. But I iron everything anyway, trousers, T-Shirts, just everything...
Bill: Georg is really horrible with that. I have never done any ironing in my whole life.

Interviewer: Could you imagine yourself in another job?
Gustav: Insurance Agent
Bill: And Georg would be a builder.
Georg: Gynecologist would be the perfect job for Tom.
Tom: True. But only if I could choose the patients myself.
Bill: I never knew what I wanted to do. My only real hobby has always been music. But what else would I have done anyway? I couldn’t just sit behind a counter in a bank, as the way I am. I would scare people off.
Georg: Not true. Nobody would even employ you! That is crap that you can’t be true to yourself in normal jobs.

Interviewer: Let’s start with a random one. If you could go to any planet, where would you go?
Tom: I would like to go to Venus.
Bill: I would visit E.T.
Gustav: I would visit Pluto.
Georg: I would stay on Earth ‘cause there’s nothing really going on on the other planets.

Interviewer: Do you have any superstitions or things you have to do before going out on stage?
Tom: We don’t have a ritual but 1.5 hours prior to a show it’s just us in our backstage room. We spend this time together and we’re usually very nervous. We think about everything that could probably go wrong.
Bill: I always say we are the most nervous band in the world. We go crazy.
Georg: Except Gustav. He is more laid back.
Gustav: That’s true. When I am in the backstage room I just put on my earphones and listen to music. If I had to listen to what the others were saying I would have had a heart attack by now.

Interviewer: Bill and Tom, your dad gave you both guitars and started you in music. How did you decide who would sing or play the guitar in the band?
Bill: That was a pretty easy one. Our step dad bought a guitar and I was always very lazy when it came to learning instruments. I tried but it din't work out after a day I just went onto something different. One had to sing and so I got that job.
Tom: I’m actually the better singer.

Question: Boxers or Briefs?
Bill: Well, I am wearing something like boxers but they are tight fitting and I absolutely don't like if things are dangling about.
Georg: Yeah me neither.
Tom: Oh I love it if it's dangling.
Bill: Ok, so Gustav and me, we don't like it-
Tom: (interrupts) Oh, and trust me, there's a lot dangling about.
Georg: Well it just can't dangle, because for us, it needs to be tucked up.
Tom: Yeah but there is nothing to tuck up for you.
Bill: Well enough of that. I wear tight boxers.
Gustav: Boxers
Georg: Tight boxers
Tom: Boxers

Question: Georg, you have a very wicked smile; does it ever get you into trouble?
Tom: That's pure trouble. If he grins at a girl like that, you can be sure he'll get a slap.
Bill: Yeah, he's got such a cheeky face that you just want to punch sometimes. I noticed that too. So great that this question came up.

Question: What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you on stage?
Tom: Well the most embarrassing thing on stage is, that Georg is there with us. (laughs)
Georg: Yeah I knew that this would come.
Tom: You knew that it would be something about you, but you didn't know the joke.

Question: Georg, how often do you work out?
Bill: I just love this question.
Tom: Me too.
Bill: As you can see, he's not working out at all. (laughs)
Georg: Not really on a regular basis. I would love to more often. But I don't have the time to.
Tom: Well one thing that he definitely doesn't work out enough is his penis. You can really say that. (laughs)

Question: Who really gets all the girls?
Bill: I won’t say that it's Tom having the most, but it's definitely not Georg. (laughs)

Question: What made you smile today?
Bill: Today? Georg. Always Georg.
Tom: Georg. It's always Georg. Mostly me, teasing Georg and making jokes about him. But you can say that Georg's really clumsy. He's always bumping into walls if he doesn't watch out and that just makes you laugh.

Question: Who is the most argumentative in the band?
Bill: I would say Tom and myself.
Georg: But you are more ahead of it.
Bill: Yeah, I do argue a lot but generally, we all argue a lot. But if you would have to name a front runner, that would be me.

Question: What's the strangest thing a photographer has ever asked you to do in a photo shoot?
Bill: Oh, I’m sure I can remember one, hang on...
Tom: Do we want to...
Bill: Nah, we can't mention any names here.
Tom: No, we're not doing that, but I’m trying to remember. (asks the boys) What was really funny that someone asked for? (long pause)
Georg: Hmm...
Bill: I'm sure they've asked me strange things, but I can't remember which one really made me laugh. (whispering) Oh yeah, we can tell that story. Someone asked us to get some bank statements and then...
Tom: ...and then take off our clothes and then to hold the statement in front of our dicks.
Interviewer: No...
Tom: Yeah, sure.
Bill: The thing is, we don't hold an account, that's why we didn't do it.
Tom: You would have to get like 50 statements to hold it in front of mine. (Bill laughs hysterically)

Interviewer: What’s your spiritual background or religion?
Davey: I’m God.
Hunter: He follows him. I’m atheist.
Interviewer: Oh my god, you don’t believe Davey exists?
Hunter: No.
Davey: I always go up to him, and I’m like, “ Hunter ... what’s up?”
Hunter: I have a picture of the one god that I do put all my faith in, right here. (He pulls out his wallet and shows a picture.) His name is Molo, and he’s the god of moles.
Interviewer: I’m just asking, because I see how all your stuff has 666 and stuff like that. I’m not saying you’re Satanic, I’m just wondering where that came from.
Hunter: My phone number. I didn’t want to give it all away...
Interviewer: So I’m not going to get enlightened, am I?
Davey: You can if you believe in me.
Interviewer: I do believe in God, and I didn’t know I was going to meet him tonight.
Davey: Just welcome me into your heart.
Jade: The Lord has mysterious hair.
Davey: The Lord has mysterious fashion sense.

Interviewer: Hey Jade, are the rest of the guys jealous that the entire 'Girl's Not Grey' video occurs in your crotch?
Jade: Hey Davey, are you jealous that the entire Girl's Not Grey video takes place in ?
Davey: No, because I'm going to take place in your crotch.

Interviewer: Best pick up line you've ever used, or had used on you?
Jade: Will you have sex with me? No? Okay, rape it is!

Interviewer: I was wondering if you and Davey ever fought over a mirror backstage or something, and if so who won? And who has used the most makeup on one single night?
Jade: Actually, yes, that happens all the time. Finally, I was like, "That's it! It's time to settle this make-up contest once and for all, I challenge you to a make-out!" Wrong choice of words.

Interviewer: If the four of you were stranded on a desert island and you had to resort to cannibalism, who would you eat first?
Davey: Can I eat like nuts and berries and stuff?
Interviewer: It's a desert island, there aren't any nuts or berries.
Davey: Oh so it's like sand or people.
Davey: So basically you want me to eat one of my band mates, and you just expect me to answer that question?
Interviewer: Well that or one of their parts, yeah.
Davey: Probably Adam
Interviewer: Why Adam?
Davey: Well he's a drummer, so he's all lean, if you like lean meat.
Adam: Tender!
Interviewer: Well you wouldn't wanna get fat on a desert island.
Davey: Right.
Adam: I'm the other white meat!

Interviewer: What are your thoughts on eskimos?
Hunter: I love eskimos. They have 23 words for sno-cone.

Interviewer: Disco bowl or rockin' bowl?
Hunter: Cereal bowl.

Fan: Will you sign my sports bra?
Adam: I’d prefer not.

Interviewer Isn't it weird to think your faces are on a lot of bedroom walls?
Davey: We don't think of ourselves in those terms. It may be true but it's hard to think of us in those terms.
Hunter: I have a poster of Adam on my bedroom wall
Davey: We all have posters of Adam

Interviewer: If you were stranded on a desert island, what one album would you want with you?
Jade: I'd build a lifeboat out of sand.
Davey: (looking confused) What?!

Interviewer: What drugs should be avoided at festivals?
Davey: I would suggest all of them. It’s self-destructive, selfish, and weak, and you’ll pass out and miss all the bands. Just enjoy the rock - and I mean the rock’n’roll, not that other rock.

Random Person: Happy Birthday Hunter! I hope you had a fantastic, wonderful, smashing, grade-A birthday!
Hunter: Thank you. Even though my birthday was a few weeks ago, I'm still celebrating it.

Random Person: See! Here's you! You’re staring at the table!
Hunter: I was trying to move it with my mind.

Interviewer: Do you wear boxers or briefs?
Jade: Boxers. Briefs are stupid. Briefs constrict yo shit.

Jade: We don't encourage our fans to send us dead things.
Davey: Or alive things.

Hunter: I’ll tell you an epic tale about licorice. Well...it’s not really an epic tale. It will really just answer the question as to why I hate licorice.
Hunter: (Clears throat.) The epic tale of licorice. When I was a small child my mother somehow had access to licorice flavored toothpaste. Her sister or one of her friends worked at a place where they had an ample supply of this stuff.
Hunter: This is me age zero through three...or somewhere around there. I would steal these tubes and go hide behind a tree and eat them.
Hunter: Well this is where I developed my hatred for licorice because I made myself sick.
Interviewer: Well do you have a hatred for toothpaste?
Hunter: No. But I always hated licorice. So growing up as a kid...“You want some licorice”...“No thanks...I hate licorice”. You’re a kid. You’re allowed to hate things. That’s what being a kid is...oh I hate this vegetable. Then in 1995 I was twenty-five no wait...nineteen...
Interviewer: Don’t get ahead of yourself.
Hunter: My friends and I were hanging out at this gas station and I noticed this candy bar that I had never seen before. It was this magical candy bar. I go “look at this magical candy bar!” But I didn’t have any money and my friend said he’d buy me that magical candy bar if I ate a brick of licorice.
Interviewer: A brick?
Hunter: A full on brick. I pictured it as one...two...three...four... five...six bites, tops! I could just eat it and then have this magical candy bar, so I thought “I’m going to do this”.
Interviewer: Ok...who makes bricks of licorice?
Hunter: I don’t know, but they should be in prison.
Hunter: So I launch into this brick of licorice and I find out that it’s so thick and dense that you can not just eat this in six bites. You would have to peel off a piece and then eat it. My mouths watering and it’s just making me sick. Its been built into my DNA that I hate licorice. I’m struggling and dying. I snuck my friend a piece...when no one was looking I’d throw a piece over my shoulder as far as I could. We got into a car and I snuck a piece into my sock.
Hunter: It was huge. I seriously felt like I’m gonna throw up. So I got about 80(percent) done with this brick of licorice and I was sick to my stomach and my friends like, “It’s cool. You can have this magical bar.” And I’m like “It’s cool...I don’t feel good”. So from that day forward, which was about eleven years ago I’m not even tempted to eat licorice even on a dare.
Interviewer: Was the magical bar worth it?
Hunter: I may have had it later...so...no. That’s the real lesson. No magical candy bar is worth eating something that you’ve hated since you were a baby.
Hunter: I’m not sure if that qualifies as an epic tale...
Interviewer: It could be. What is the “truth” about AFI?
Hunter: The truth is that we’re not such a terribly serious band. We’re actually all really funny guys and fun loving, and that’s the truth that comes to mind.

Fan: I'm not trying to be creepy or anything but your bass playing inspired me to start playing bass.
Hunter: Thats not creepy, it would be creepy if you said my bass playing made you want to molest small childeren or something like that.

Buzznet: Do you have any fetishes? Any pet-peeves?
Hunter: I hate it when people sneeze into their hands and then place them inside my mouth. I also hate being stabbed to death...that's a pet peeve of mine.

Buzznet: What is the first quality you look for in the opposite sex?
Hunter: The first thing I look for is eyes. If a girl doesn't have eyes, it's a no-go. (my apologies to all the girls reading this without eyes)

Buzznet: What text message or voicemail do you regret sending to someone so much that you will never forget doing it? Who was the person?
Hunter: I have no regrets when it comes to texts or voicemail. I have sent a few drunken faxes though. (the faxes were drunk, not me)

Fan: I love you Davey!
Davey: Hey, thanks!
Fan: I don't want to have sex with you though.
Davey: (sad) Oh...

Fan:(during song) I love you Davey!
Davey: (stops singing and smiles) Someone wants to fuck me. (continues song)

Fan: Davey I want to have your kids!
Davey: Well I’ll be sure to call you.

Question: Why are you guys so awesome?
Davey: Fuzzy creatures.

Interviewer: In 6 words or less, give us the best idea that you can of who Jade Puget is.
Jade: Trouble, baby, trouble.
Interviewer: Do you believe in angels?
Jade: Yeah, I think they've got a shot this year.
Interviewer: What's your favorite shade/color?
Jade: Well, I'm sponsored by black so I'll have to go with that.
Interviewer: Are there any AFI songs of which you're not very fond? (Hunter admitted to Weathered Tome...) If not, do you have a least favorite?
Jade: I really only like the first 7-inch.
Interviewer: Has anything really funny ever happened in the studio that you don't mind sharing?
Jade: No, I don't mind.
Interviewer: I give you a word, and you give me the first thing that comes to mind. Pink
Jade: I can go for hours, if you know what I mean
Interviewer: Davey
Jade: Hammock
Interviewer: Adam
Jade: Pirate
Interviewer: Hunter
Jade: Gatherer
Interviewer: Pirate
Jade: Adam

Random person: You have the only job in the world where people line up to hug you.
Davey: Well, me and the Pope.
Random person: Are you crazy? You can't hug the pope. He's inside the bubble.
Davey: Are you sure you can't hug the Pope? Hey, everyone, does anyone know if you're allowed to hug the Pope?

Jim Shearer: We know football fans are crazy. How would we compare them to AFI fans?
Jade: I think the level of craziness is pretty close. Different, via the AFI crazy fans are typically a bit more frail than the football fans.
Jim Shearer: Oh wow. Were you the center?
Davey: Um, I'm the center. Of everything!
Jim Shearer: Oh, I would imagine you would be the quarterback.
Davey: Is that what the quarterback does? I'M A QUARTERBACK.

Interviewer: What is your favorite game?
Hunter: Hungry Hungry Hippos. These fuckers haven't eaten in a while, and now they're beyond hungry, they've reached the "hungry hungry" status. In order to ensure the survival of these colorful beasts, one must feed the famished hippopotamus the white plastic balls they desperately crave.

Interviewer: Did you have any crappy childhood nicknames?
Jade: Mine was Super Flying Turbo Ninja. My grandma gave it to me.

Hunter: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Jade: I got tired of poking Adam, so now I'm poking you.
Hunter: Did you give him that hair band?
Fan: Yes
Hunter: Bad, bad fan.

Interviewer: What's the weirdest question you've ever been asked?
Jade: I don't know, but the answer was probably "seven."

Fan: Will you sign my ticket?
Jade: Will you sign mine?

Random notes for my readers, reviewers, and fans. (I have fans? o.O)

-9/6/11- Still not writing as much as I'd like to. In fact I'm not even reading as much as I'd like to, but hey... While I did recently reread a classic Lurlene McDaniel title and even started a fiction because of it, who knows if I'll actually finish it. It all depends if I can stay focused and not let the man that I'm pretty damn sure is stalking me keep me from posting anything. Hope to be back someday, miss you FFN!
