Okay peoples, I write very slowly sometimes, so if you want me to post faster tell me in results of my stories. I also do request pairings, just no boyXboy or girlXgirl.Don't go sending me hate-mail I have my reasons! Also, just because I use 4Kids or Fox Box don't bash or flame me! It's just my opinion! If you don't like it fine! But don't just ignore my fiction because of that! Thanks! -MangaMaid4545

Hello to everyone I know personally!! Some stories take a while to post!

My Youtube account has changed! It is under my full penname. I'm still moving videos from my old one to it at this time. This is the link to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-QYd4QSfCGlHkkcPAvE8Rg

Name: MangaMaid4545 (A.K.A. Lettuce pronounced: Le ta SU, Xion, and Fox.)

How I decribe myself: If I had to describe myself as a anime character, I have two I would pick to describe myself Rena Ryuugu and Lettuce. Around most people, I act a lot like Lettuce and I am notorious among my friends for dropping things and having my nose in a type of reading material. Around my family, I act like Rena. I like to take things that people are about to throw out, including magazines, dolls, books, etc. and I don't like people throwing out my things.

Things That Irritate Me:

FLAMERS: These people make the top of my list! Do you know why? Because these people are rude, obnoxious, and complete jerks! People have the right to post their writing and they do not need these people talking bad about their stuff! When I was sick, I had just posted a story and I got a flame! And my friend got flamed too and she did a good job in my opinion! I hate these people! Seriously! If you don't like it, say it in a nice way or just FOLLOW THE THUMPER RULE!! If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all! Flamers should understand this is FANFICTION! They can't control how someone writes and shouldn't put them down for it!

People Who Sterotype/Judge Others Based on Race, Religion, etc: This goes head to head with flamers for the top spot. I hate people who sterotype. I have been told so many things based on my religion. Here's my take with differences: If someone is different, does it really matter? We are all people who share the same planet. Also, along with this, I hate people who act like they know everything about some religion or race that they are not apart of. Seriously, if you are not apart of a certain religion, please don't act like you know everything about it. It can be offensive and it's just plain rude.

Math: Math hates me. End of story.

Cellphone Chat Used Mostly In The Story: I don't text. So, I don't understand it half the time. If it's in your Author's Note, that's fine with me. But if half the story is cellphone chat, I don't understand it.

Favorite Quotes:

Que sera sera!- (I don't know who said this)

For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these: It might have been. - John Greenleaf Whittier

To fall in love is awfully simple, but to fall out of love is simply awful. -Bess Myerson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others. -Marianne Williamson

Character is higher than intellect. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people. -Martin Luther King, Jr.

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. -Mahatma Gandhi

You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind. -Mahatma Gandhi

Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning. -Mahatma Gandhi

Hiei: Fool! There can't be earthquakes on the water!

Kuwabara: Are you serious!? You don't know dead squat about that guy!! What if he loses and we get booted from the tournament?!
Hiei: If that happens, all we have to do is kill everyone else on boat before we reach the island. We'll say we're the right team and no one will complain.
Kuwabara:... You didn't have too many friends growing up, didja?

Hiei: I think they stole my idea. We'll have to make them pay very dearly for that.

Kuwabara: That's right!
(Both suddenly realize what they have just said.)
Kurama (Sweatdropping): Logic is panic's prey.

All the while we've been thinking you were a brilliant strategist. While really, you're just a lucky fool. -Kurama

Urameshi! I'm gonna mess your face up so bad the kittens won't even look at you! -Kuwabara

Hiei: Harness your own power if you hope to beat him. If you take anything from our scrimmage take that. So go. Save the human world. Or don't. I don't really care. Either way I'm fine with the outcome.
(Yusuke starts to laugh)
Hiei: What's so funny?
Yusuke: Your so full of crap! 'I don't care!' You've been rooting for me. You did this to help me survive. I told everyone that you'd come back to rescue us when we needed you most you big softie, or should I say little softie. (Starts laughing again.)
Hiei: I should have slit your throat when I had the chance.

Kuwabara: I'm back and better than ever! So back off! I'll kick his butt myself.
Hiei: You do realize he will be ... kicking back?
Kuwabara: Yeah, and after him your next.
Hiei: There won't be a next.
Kuwabara: SHUT UP!!

Hiei: Hn. And that was using my left arm, Kurama.
Kurama: I'm sorry. I used my right. Next time I'll use my left to be fair.

Kurama: Kuwabara!
Hiei: And only 500 seconds too late to matter.
Kuwabara: Hey, where's that guy I was fighting? I wasn't done yet.
Hiei (smirking at Kuwabara while Kurama sweatdrops): So, which is more humiliating, losing to an old man or to a clown?
Kuwabara: A clown. Definitely worse to a clown.

Mental Note: Never tell Kurama he's letting his fox side down. -Yusuke

You're going to have to come up with a smart way to kill it, or else... BANG! -Youko Kurama

Fox, then a butterfly? Is there any animal you can't metamorph into? -Kuwabara

Koenma: I'm surprised you're so calm Kurama, since if Hiei does harm... You'll be punished with him.
Kurama: Heh heh... ah heh...

Just because you have a monster inside you, doesn't make you a monster. It's what we do with ourselves and how we act that makes us who we are, not what we are. Also, for your information, I see you as a dear friend who'd I'd do anything for. I just can't see you as the others do. - Kaori

Girls
are like
apples on trees.
The best ones are
at the top of the tree.The
boys don't want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren't as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they're amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree.

I am the girl that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cell phone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain.

BUT I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn’t care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with Twilight, who can express herself better with words than actions, who doesn't need a guy to complete her, and knows the importance of the little things. Copy and paste this onto your account, and add your name to the list, if you are anything like me, so the girls who are different and unique can know in their weakest time that they are unique but not alone: Iheartjake, TeamJacob101, Boysareadrag, The Dawn Is Breaking, twilite addict, ihatejacob1, .i.love.the.emo.corner., Swimming Cutie xoxo, TwilightHeart21, twilightluver919, Anessathiel, randomgirl110, MangaMaid4545

Theme songs: (Yes I actually have more than one theme song for myself)

When I'm alone: Breathe No More by Evanescence and If Everyone Cared by Nickelback

When I'm with family: I Wouldn't Have Nothing If I Didn't Have You by Disney's Monsters Inc.

When I'm out with friends: Sharada by Skye Sweetnam

A True Boyfriend:

When she walks away from you mad, follow her

When she stares at your mouth, kiss her

When she pushes you or hits you, grab her and don't let go

When she starts cussing at you, kiss her and tell her you love her

When she's quiet, ask her whats wrong

When she ignores you, give her your attention

When she pulls away, pull her back

When you see her at her worst, tell her she's beautiful

When you see her start crying, just hold her and don't say a word

When you see her walking, sneak up and hug her waist from behind

When she's scared, protect her

When she lays her head on your shoulder, tilt her head up and kiss her

When she steals your favorite hat, let her keep it and sleep with it for a night

When she teases you, tease her back and make her laugh

When she doesn't answer for a long time, reassure her that everything is okay

When she looks at you with doubt, back yourself up

When she says that she likes you, she really does more than you could understand

When she grabs at your hands, hold hers and play with her fingers

When she bumps into you, bump into her back and make her laugh

When she tells you a secret, keep it safe and untold

When she looks at you in your eyes, don't look away until she does

When she misses you, she's hurting inside

When you break her heart, the pain never really goes away

When she says it’s over, she still wants you to be hers

When she reposts this bulletin, she wants you to read it

When she's mad, hug her tight and don't let go

When she says she's ok, don't believe it, talk with her- because 10 years later she'll remember you

When she's bored and sad, hang out with her.

Let her know she's important.

Kiss her in the pouring rain.

When she runs up at you crying, the first thing you say is; "Whose butt am I kicking, babe?"

If you do post this in the next four minutes the one you love will:
Call you.
Kiss you.
Love you.
Text you.

Guys post as: "I'd be this boyfriend."
Girls post as: "A true boyfriend " or " what a boyfriend should do"

Girls Don't Realize These Things

I'm sorry
that I bought you roses
to tell you that I like you

I'm sorry
That I was raised with respect
not to sleep with you when you were drunk

I'm sorry
That my body's not ripped enough
to "satisfy" your wants

I'm sorry
that I open your car door,
and pull out your chair like I was raised

I'm sorry
That I'm not cute enough
to be "your guy"

I'm sorry
That I am actually nice;
not a jerk

I'm sorry
I don't have a huge bank account
to buy you expensive things

I'm sorry
I like to spend quality nights at home
cuddling with you, instead of at a club

I'm sorry
I would rather make love to you then just screw you
like some random guy.

I'm sorry
That I am always the one you need to talk to,
but never good enough to date

I'm sorry
That I always held your hair back when you threw up, and didn't get mad at you for puking in my car,
but when we went out you went home with another guy

I'm sorry
That I am there to pick you up at 4am when your new man hit you and dropped you off in the middle of nowhere,
but not good enough to listen to me when I need a friend

I'm sorry
If I start not being there because it hurts being used as a door mat, only to be thrown to the side when the new jerk comes around

I'm sorry
If I don't answer my phone anymore when you call, to listen to you cry for hours, instead of getting a couple hours of sleep before work

I'm sorry
that you can't realize I've been the one all along.

I'm sorry
If you read this and know somebody like this
but don't care

But most of all

I'm sorry
For not being sorry anymore

I'm sorry
That you can't accept me for who I am

I'm sorry
I can never do anything right, and nothing that I do is good
enough to make it in your world.

I'm sorry
I caught your boyfriend with another girl and told you about it, I thought that was what friends were for...

I'm sorry
That I told you I loved you and actually meant it.

I'm sorry
That I talked to you for nine hours on Thanksgiving when your boyfriend was threatening you instead of spending time with my family.

I'm Sorry
That I cared

I'm sorry
that I listen to you at night talking about how you wish you could have done something different.

Ladies always complain and gripe to their friends that there are never any good guys out there, and they always end up with buttholes that mistreat them. Well ladies, next time you're complaining, maybe look up to see who you're complaining to, maybe that special someone is right there hanging on your every word as usual, screaming in his head "Why won't you give me a chance?" Because the person you are usually searching for is right by you.

If you're a guy and you agree with this letter, copy and paste into your profile as 'I'm sorry'

If you're one of the FEW girls with enough BALLS to copy and paste this into your profile, and you would never make your guy feel this way, copy and paste into your profile as "Girls Don't Realize These Things"

I found this on Colhan3000's web page and I only picked the one the suited me. She posted this on her page , but hers is the full one and not edited. She got it from Inumaru12.

OBITUARY FOR THE LATE MR. COMMON SENSE

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

He was outlived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

RIP: We shall remember

These are IMPORTANT POEMS:

My name is Sarah

I am but three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can't speak at all

I can't do a wrong

Or else I'm locked up

All the day long

When I awake

I'm all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home.

When my mommy does come

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I'll get just

One whipping tonight

Don't make a sound!

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie's Bar.

I hear him curse

My name he calls

I press myself

Against the wall.

I try and hide

From his evil eyes

I'm so afraid now

I'm starting to cry.

He finds me weeping

He shouts ugly words,

He says its my fault

That he suffers at work.

He slaps me and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And I run for the door.

He's already locked it

And I start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken.

"I'm sorry!", I scream

But its now much too late

His face has been twisted

Into unimaginable hate.

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

Oh please God, have mercy!

Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door,

While I lay there motionless

Sprawled on the floor.

My name is Sarah

And I am but three,

Tonight my daddy,

Murdered me.

Mummy...Johnny brought a gun to school
He told his friends that it was cool
And when he pulled the trigger back
It shot with a great crack
Mummy I was a good girl
I did what I was told
I went to school, I got straight A's, I even got the gold
But mummy when I went to school that day, I never said goodbye
I'm sorry mummy I had to go, but mommy please don't cry
When Johnny shot the gun he hit me and another
And all because he got the gun from his older brother
Mummy please tell daddy that I love him very much
And please tell Chris, my boyfriend, that it wasn't just a crush
And tell my little sister that she is the only one now
And tell my dear sweet grandmother that I'll be waiting for her now
And tell my wonderful friends that they were always the best
Mummy I'm not the first I'm no better than the rest
Mummy tell my teachers I won't show up for class
And never to forget this and please don't let this pass
Mummy why'd it have to be me no one deserves this
Mummy warn the others, mummy I left without a kiss
And mummy tell the doctors I know they really did try
I think I even saw a doctor trying not to cry
Mummy I'm slowly dying with a bullet in my chest
But mummy please remember I'm in heaven with the rest
Mummy I ran as fast as I could when I heard that crack
Mummy listen to me if you would
I wanted to go to college
I wanted to try things that were new
I guess I'm not going with daddy
On that trip to the new zoo
I wanted to get married
I wanted to have a kid
I wanted to be an actress
Mummy I wanted to live
But mummy I must go now
The time is getting late
Mummy tell my Chris
I'm sorry but I had to cancel the date
I love you mummy I always have
I know you know it's true
Mummy all I wanted to say is "mummy I love you"
In memory of the Columbian students that were lost
Please if you would
Pass this around
I'd be happy if you could
Don't smash this on the ground
If you pass this on
Maybe people will cry
Just keep this in heart
For the people that didn't get to say "goodbye"

I went to a birthday party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink at all,
So I had a Sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't choose to drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.
I knew I made a healthy choice and,
Your advice to me was right,
As the party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my own car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
Never knowing what was coming,
Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
"The kid that caused this wreck was drunk."
His voice seems far away.
My own blood is all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
"This girl is going to die."
I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
That I would have to die.
So why do people do it,
Knowing that it ruins lives?
But now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his mom and dad had,
I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter,
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
wish that I could say,
I love you and good-bye.
