It's just so out of character. D: -ruffles the ice prince's hair-

I sort of agree. He was such a Debbie Downer in Dissidia he made Cloud look optimistic.


-chuckles- What can I say. That kind of thing pisses me off in real life, but for some reason I kind of like it in fictional characters. xD

You have a whole box of Girl Scout cookies you buy with your own money, and someone takes the entire box when it's practically new. (OR even unopened when there's an open box of the same kind.)

And it happens twice in a row. I'm not against sharing, but those are my cookies! D:

People who think they're amazing writers: throw a bunch of descriptive words and two paragraphs of bore-me-to-death on a page, and expect the world will fall in love. Just because you can describe a scene for a couple of pages, doesn't mean anyone wants to read it. Seriously. Just because you know how to write, doesn't mean the stories are better. I'd rather read a story like this:

Amy shuddered at the creak. She wasn't scared of the dark, not at all; she was scared of the shadows. The very thought sent her mind into a scramble. Which was how she felt right now, only the room seemed to be shaking along with her head, almost in rhythm. It can't be midnight yet. I should be asleep by now. No, it isn't, I'm sure it's not. Amy lay paralyzed and sweating on the floor as her imagination taunted, teased.


Rather than this:

Bones ran down to the creek in a desperate search for some berries. It was Scruffy again, who on this crisp spring morning had somehow managed to pick up a cough that was loud. His heart beat like crazy as the water drew closer. Bones was scared because Scruffy was his only friend and without him he would be alone. The forest was a scary place, with tawny Grey owls who made eerie noises in the night, and nasty foxes who's dark red pelts shone like beacons. He himself had a moist nose, silver white fur and years of youth left.



I quickly wrote those paragraphs just as examples. I'm not pointing a finger at anyone in paticular, but it annoys me to see people who right the same yawner-stories about some wolf who was perfect in every way and he had to save the clan, yadda yadda yadda. And the second paragraph, although crappy, is probably better than a lot of those 5 minute "masterpieces" that I see people write everyday. Which is sad because not many things are worse than that.

-raises hand-
I'm completely guilty of doing that. Unfortunatley that's the writing level CS is stuck at I think.

What annoys me greatly right now is I have to memorize something but the room that the something is in is locked so nobody can get in there and no one who would have the key is around and it's due to be recited by tonight. Over half the people in my house need to memorize yet, but no one can get in that room!
And I the fact that I have a six page paper about a book that I'm only halfway done with due on Tuesday, but that one's my own fault.
Yes, I am quitting. No, you cannot have any of my pets. They are all being sent to the Pound.

My daemon. Seriously, Hazlock never stops talking. Hey! That isn't nice! Well, tough! Grr. Next time I'll jump out the car and never return.

Howling ghosts they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart

Its annoying when you just finished an amazing drawing, and you go to click 'save' but your computer decides to shut down >:(

Ahh! That's why you save WHILE you're doing it! D: I've lost entire files on my old laptop before, due to the stupid "blue screen of death" problem! D:
