I only own the plots, and if I don't own those, then the friends and family I stole them from didn't have any legal rights to the plot-bunnies, either. I'm probably the only one who remembers them, anyway. On top of that, I deserve them for giving away so many most of the time! And if I did own any of said copyrighted material, you would be seeing my stories on TV or in books, not here. Honestly. So don't sue me. I want to use my money for something other than a lawsuit. Thank you. 6/15/15 Hey, what's up? (I don't actually expect you to reply to that...people might look at you oddly if you're talking to a computer. Then again...) Anyway, here's a bit about me: Firstly, I :ℓσvε:* reviews! It can be as simple as one word, a rating in stars, thumbs-up/-down, like/dislike, criticism, or just a demand to update! I especially love long reviews, but I'm also overjoyed to get short ones, too. I'm always on the lookout for advice on my writing, whether it's grammar and spelling, style, plot, or just telling me when I made a mistake. I always want feedback. I personally respond to every review I receive. I also squeal with joy and gaze at my computer screen (and at the username of whomever reviewed) lovingly every time I get a review. Feedback makes me like, 10x more motivated to continue w/ a story ASAP. And, hey, if there's something about one of my stories you really dislike, or is confusing, I'll never know unless you tell me. And I'm still just as happy to get a review the day after I publish a story, to a year after I publish it. My sole interest in writing is having a semi-passion for it—though, sadly, plot-bunnies don't come to me often... My purpose for posting a story is to make other people happy with what I write(sounds sappy; it's the complete truth). And my reason for continuing a story is people enjoying what I write—and telling me so through reviews. - T h e S l e e p i n g N e k o -族 ·*''*·友. ғ - ƒ - Ƒმოἶℓყ .友·*''*· 族- Younger sister: mismantle Betreader and awesome friend: awesomenaruto Support from the beginning: A Lost Sheep RL friend: SuperVilleLockian Another RL friend: Fanficrazy If you wanna be added to this list, no prob. Just Ƥϻ me with something. By and by, I generate viewers. Some of those come to my page to know more about me. Others just come here because they're astounded at my procrastination-ability. So, either way, here's some info for you to learn/entertain yourself while you're sittin' here: Name: Livie / Livvy Sex: Free peppermints if you figure it out! Age: Between 17 – 22 Birthday: May 29th Hair: Blonde Eyes: Blue Nationality: American Faith: Christian Home state: It starts with the letter "V". City: Not telling you that. Street: You totally don't need to know. House Address: Are you a stalker or something?! School: University of Mary Washington Family: Older bro, three younger sisters, younger brother, mom, dad, & myself Pets: Three corn snakes: Tucker & Cigarette, & Nikki, and a dog: Gizmo, and a betta fish: Evil Knievel (Nie'l). Interests: Writing—fanfics included, drawing—on paper and on the computer, mathematics, politics, animals, and...and I constantly think about life (yeah, pretty random stuff, huh?). Oh, and reading! I'm also a grammar freak. Favorite books: Harry Potter, Inheritance Cycle, Artemis Fowl series, Maximum Ride series, Homestuck, Fullmetal Alchemist, & Shugo Chara! Favorite TV shows: Shugo Chara!, Danny Phantom, Whipeout!, AFV, Fullmetal Alchemist(& Brotherhood), Supernatural, Sonic X, White Collar, Merlin, Once Upon a Time, Young Justice, Elementary, & Sherlock. Favorite food: Um, Cookies, frozen yogurt, eggs, lasagna, chicken and dumplin's, cheesecake, chocolate, tacos, chocolate-covered pretzels, cherrys, ramen, fruit smoothies, peppermints... Am I boring you? Oh, and sandwiches! ...and Ramen... Favorite color: baby pink Other screen names I do/have use(d): gerbilgirl, paoliniFAN, BookLover16, TheSleepngNeko, SleepingNeko, Livie —I do: —I do not: Facts about me: Whenever I'm bored, I get any type of drawing utensil and draw flamels across my body. I've often been asked, "When did you get that tattoo?" I sleep in the fetal position, trying to capture as much warmth to my body as I can. Except, however, during the summer. Then I lie on my back, but curl up as much as possible without ending up looking like a dead bug. I am known to randomly pass out after having shots/bloodwork done. I can lick my elbow, but when I try to do both at once, I feel like I'm about to pull my shoulders out of their sockets. I spend too much time reading. Far too much. I am known for being a grammar nazi. And when someone fails to comply with the rules of proper grammar, I do that little anime eyebrow twitch. I'm a terrible liar and, therefore, never play any card-games that involve bluffing. I can then eat a one pound burrito in under five minutes. I like to creep people out by staring at them until they look at me, then licking my teeth and wiggling my eyebrows at them. I have never had a boyfriend. Nor do I need one right now. I can obsess over the inability to divide by zero. If I don't update quickly enough, I feel too guilty to check my inbox until at least 100 messages have piled up. Then I feel even worse. My papá and I can get into heated discussions about, numbers, taxes, politics, English, and puns. I talk to myself out loud. I can't kill an animal unless it's a cockroach, fly, or anything parasitic. My dislike for the aforementioned borders on phobia. I have only ever had a haircut once…and I lost 16 inches that time. I enjoy sticking on headphones, lying in the floor in random positions, closing my eyes, and listening to jumpstyle techno. I just hope someone won't step on me. I put fabric paint on everything, including myself. It only makes more enjoyable when it glows in the dark. You're more than welcome to Ƥϻ me with anything else you'd like to know so I can add it to the list. Interesting fact: Beta (Β β) is the second letter of the Greek alphabet. Therefore, if you beta-read for someone, you can refer to them as your Alpha (Α α)—the first letter of the Greek alphabet. And, if you employ two beta-readers—say, if they each specialize in different areas or you just want to be safe—you could call them your "first beta" and "second beta", or you can refer to them as your "beta-reader" and your "gamma-reader", Gamma (Γ γ) being, obviously, the third letter in the Greek alphabet. You could also call your readers your gammas if you have them spot mistakes. ıllıllı тнe 27 coммandмenтѕ oғ ғanғιcтιon ıllıllı 1. Thou shalt not posteth a fic until it has been checked for grammar and spelling errors. The fanfiction gods have given thee a spellchecker on the computer for good reason. Use it. Otherwise, employeth a beta reader. 2. Thou shalt not posteth a chapter of fewer than 100 words, unless it is a drabble. This displeases the masses. 3. Thou shalt not put thine author's notes in the middle of the story. 4. Thou shalt NEVER useth text-speak in a fic, unless the characters are actually texting. 5. Thou shalt keepeth to one tense, and only one, throughout the story. Do not switcheth randomly. 6. Applyeth the above number 5 to POVs, as well. 7. Thou shalt not get totes offended when someone makest fun of the crack pairing featured in thy fanfiction. It probably is rather hilarious. 8. Thou shalt not useth O.o, ;p, or D: in a fanfiction to showeth the emotion exhibited by a character. 9. Thou shalt tryeth to keep characters in-character! 10. Thou shalt not treateth every criticism as a flame. 11. The author's note is not a spot for thy personal drama, and thou shalt not maketh it so. 12. Thou shalt not puteth any form of the phrase "first fic" in thy summary. 13. Thy created characters must not have names that exceed five syllables in length. Nor shall their names have more than five words in length. 14. Thou shalt not inserteth thyself into the story line as thyself or as a character—yes we know that thou are in love with thyrself and are very narcissistic, we just don’t want to read about how thou endeth up with the main character. 15. If thou art writing a story that does not follow the original story line, pointeth it out in the beginning. 16. Thou shalt not maketh a person randomly smart or powerful unless stating a reason for this change—a good reason. 17. Thou shalt show and not tell. 18. Thou shalt not EVER useth the phrase "I suck at summaries" in thy summary. This annoys thy readers. 19. Thou shalt not writeth the same way thou speaketh—writing is an art. 20. Thou shalt ALWAYS spelleth the word "okay" (or O.K.) correctly. Using the letter "K" is an unacceptable compromise. 21. Thou shalt only useth clichés when thou a) art writing a parody, or b) hath found a new and interesting twist to make such clichés bearable to thy readers. 22. Thou shalt always separateth dialogue from two different speakers in two separate paragraphs. Otherwise thy readers shalt be confuse-ed. 23. Thou shalt not EVER maketh a chapter all one paragraph. THIS INFURIATES BOTH THIY READER AND THE FANFICTION GODS. They have given thee an ENTER key with good reason. 24. Thou shalt not write with thy caps lock on; it displeases the masses and causes thy readers to lose their vision and makes angels weep. 25. Thou shalt know how to spell the character's names correctly before thou writeth thy fic. Misspelling the name of the main characters makes readers angry and distracts from the story. 26. Thou shalt not say in thy summary "summary inside". This shows lack of creativeness and infuriates the masses. The only exception is when a summary is cut short and a continuation of it lies inside. 27. Thou shalt useth paragraphs and space the story so it is not terrifyingly daunting to thy readers. Keep the ιc in fanfιction. Otherwise, it's just fanftion. And, let's face it, nobody wants to have to read something like that. FRIENDS: Never ask for anything to eat or drink.

Shoot I'll even take on the floor in front of the TV. Just do me. –Sincerely, your homework." "Guess who? I will find you, take you to bed & have my way with you. You will moan, groan, and even beg me to stop. I'll exhaust you & leave all worn out. It's me, the Stomach Flu." "You came to me one night. Explored my body, licked, sucked, swallowed! When satisfied, you left & I was hurt!!... Stupid mosquito!" An optimist is someone who falls off the empire state building and after 50 floors says, "So far, so good!" I've learned from my mistakes, and I'm sure I could repeat them exactly. If life gives you lemons, alter their DNA and make SUPER LEMONS! Do not disturb, I'm disturbed already. Flying is simple, you just throw yourself at the ground and miss. Keep smiling; it makes people wonder what you're up to. The person who smiles when things go wrong has found someone to blame it on. Never argue with an idiot. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Normal people scare me...but not as much as I scare them. Stupidity killed the cat. Curiosity was framed.Even if the voices aren't real, they have some good ideas. An idiot is a 44th floor window washer who steps back to admire his work. You know, you do this annoying thing where you open your mouth and then these things you call words come out. Yeah like that. Stop it. The newscaster is the person who says "Good evening" and then tells you why it's not. If you don't like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk. I battle sarcasm with logic. I call it logicasm. Some people are like slinkies. They seem to have no purpose, but they still bring you a smile when you push them down the stairs. You can only be young once. But you can always be immature. Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they're looking for ideas. I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out. Join The Army, visit exotic places, meet strange people, then kill them. I like work. It fascinates me. I sit and look at it for hours. I smile because I have no idea what's going on. Did you know "gullible" isn't a real word? If at first you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment. Why is "abbreviation" such a long word? You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because I just rigged your house with explosives. Son, if you really want something in life, you have to work hard for it. Now quiet, they're announcing the lottery numbers. Irony: Falling down the stairs due to the distraction of the "Watch your step" sign. All generalizations are false, including this one. Hard work never killed anybody, but why take the chance? If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable. I don't know what my problem is. But I do know it's really hard to pronounce. If you think nobody cares you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments. I'm such a REBEL. I leave messages before the beep! I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every last minute of it! An apple a day will keep anyone away if you throw it hard enough. Drive it like you stole it! Sanity? I've never heard of such a useless thing to begin with! I didn't lose my mind. I sold it on eBay. There are two types of pedestrians—the quick and the dead. There are few problems that can't be solved with high explosives. You are such a good friend! Now that our ship is sinking, and there is only one life vest... I'll miss you heaps and think of you often. If at first you don't succeed, don't try skydiving. We have enough gun control, what we need is idiot control. Just remember... If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. I didn't say it was your fault. I was just blaming it on you. A computer beat me at chess, but it was no match for me in kick boxing. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive, anyway. Don't follow in my footsteps—I walk into walls. Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door. You know it's going to be a bad day when you fall out of bed and miss the floor. You say I'm not cool. But cool is another word for cold. If I'm not cold, I'm hot. I know I'm hot. Thanks for embracing it. There are three sides of an argument. Your side, my side, and the right side. The two most common elements in the world are hydrogen and stupidity.

St. Peter was standing at the pearly gates and said to the first man, "Tell me about the day you died." The man said, "Oh, it was awful. I was sure my wife had been secretly seeing someone else, so I came home early to catch her with him. I searched all over the apartment but couldn't find him anywhere. So I went out onto the balcony—we live on the 25th floor—and found this man hanging over the edge by his fingertips. I went inside, got a hammer, and started hitting his hands. He fell, but landed in some bushes. So, I got the refrigerator and pushed it over the balcony and it crushed him. The strain of the act gave me a heart attack, which I died from." St. Peter couldn't deny that this was a pretty bad day, and, since it was a crime of passion, he let the man in. He then asked the next man in line about the day he died. "Well, sir, it was awful," said the second man. "I was doing aerobics on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment when I twisted my ankle and slipped over the edge. I managed to grab the balcony of the apartment below mine, but some maniac came out and started pounding on my fingers with a hammer. Luckily I landed in some bushes when I fell. But, then the guy dropped a refrigerator on me!" St. Peter chuckled, let him into heaven and decided he could really start to enjoy this job. "Tell me about the day you died,” he said to the third man in line.

Thε Gεɲdεr σf a Comρutεr A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine. "House," in French, is feminine-"la mansion." "Pencil," in French, is masculine - "le crayon." One puzzled student asked, "...What gender is computer?..." The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French dictionary. So for fun she split the class into two groups appropriately enough, by gender, and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun. Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation. The men's group decided that computers should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"), because: 1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic. 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else. 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval. 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your pay check on accessories for it. The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ("le computer"), because: 1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. 2. They have a lot of data but they are still clueless. 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems but half the time they ARE the problem. 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you'd waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. The women won. Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon. Then again, there would be downsides, too: 1. For no reason whatsoever your car would crash twice a day. 2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you 4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn, would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought "Car XP" or "Car 2000". But then you would have to buy more seats. 6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive, but would only work on 5% of the roads. 7. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning light would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light. 8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt. 9. You would press the "start " button to shut off the engine. 10. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grab hold of the radio antenna. 11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. 12. Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car. 13. The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off. SECURITY SYSTEM INSTALLATION 1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14–16 k boots. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with several empty beer cans, a copy of Guns and Ammo magazine and several NRA magazines. 3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazines. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads: "Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke, and Slim. I went to the gun shop for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls—they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood.

I just got the greatest idea for a story of mine!” and your idea has 4. When you lock yourself in your room, crank up the music, and act out an entire story…and then forget everything you thought of. 5. When you are listening to a song and go “Oh my gosh! This song is exactly what (Insert story here) is about!” 6. When you run around the house dancing and thinking of an idea, acting all crazy, and write the scene that turns out to be a very sad, calm scene. 7. When you fear to daydream because you are afraid of your characters hunting you down and killing you for the torture you put them through. 8. When you can’t fall asleep without thinking about what is going to happen in your next chapter. 9. When you begin to envision your own version of someone else’s fanfic. 10. When you think out loud and start giggling and jumping around talking to yourself when you come up with a good idea. —1O1 ώÄy$ ţσ αиῆ๏¥ Ƥε0ρℓE ɨŃ ǥeɲ£яąĻ— 1. Sing the Batman theme incessantly. 2.

Bored? - Next time you answer the phone pick it up and say, "City Morgue, you kill 'em, we chill 'em." Dear Child, I am writing this slow because I know that you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address, as the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they left so that they wouldn't have to change their address. This place is real nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure if it works too well though. Last week I put a load in, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since. The weather isn't too bad here, it only rained twice last week. The first time it rained for three days and the second time for four days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Steve said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

Some man tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We had him cremated and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your two friends were in the back. They drowned because they couldn't get the tailgate down. There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened. PS, I was going to send you some money but the envelope was already sealed. A Gʀᴇᴀᴛ Wʀɪᴛᴇʀ There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.

He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages. (•._.• -:elevator unɟ:- •._.•) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
