Yeah, that jab was enough to make me a little nauseous, lol.

Another peeve of mine, which doesn't happen often these days, but I seen it recently, was reading a story that was typed like this:

AJ ran up to Nick, arms stretched out.
"Nick don't go!!! Nick no!!!"
"I'm sorry AJ, but I'm a loner... and a loners gotta be alone."
AJ tried desperately to keep his friend from walking off.
He fell to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, reaching out to his friend who was now leaving.
Nick trotted into the sunset.
AJ remained on the ground, a wreck.

It's even worse when they don't bother to break it up and it's one big paragraph of FAIL! lol

OMG can I just say banners in general? Just...stop!

And yes, I'm not really all the interested in what you do with Nick in the shower, or anybody else for that matter! lol

There's only so much you can do in a shower........ .... right? LOL!!! Be different and write about, I don't know, what people actually do in the shower at least. Have Nick pass you the loofa. You scrub his back cause he can't reach. Bitch about using cheap ass Vidal Sassoon shampoo instead of Dove. Have Nick accidentally bathe himself with your Summer's Eve Feminine cleansing wash.

I was just thinking about the one and only time I have written a fanfic about myself (a.k.a. made myself the main character in my story) and just had to go look it up.

http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/vault/chronicles.html

I wrote this in 2000, when I was 15, but it takes place in 2008, which was "the future" at the time, so I made myself 23 and gave myself this whole little fantasy life in which I was going to med school and living with the boy I had a huge crush on at the time (not even a Backstreet Boy, just a kid I went to school with).  It's so hilariously awkward.  At least I did not have my face on the banner, though LOL.

Yeah, agreed.  I love you all, but I don't want to read fanfics about you and picture you doing things with my boys LOL.  That is just awkward.


Yeah it also makes it hard for me to picture it realistically in my head while I read.

I don't know who said it but "Nick pass me the loofa"  LMAO

Can we stay up all night, 'cause we can sleep all day?
Everybody come out to play.
Lemme hear you say yay, yay, yay...

:bananapower:

It's about time for me to start switching my sleep schedule back to normal hours... ugh.
