B&A: Another bunch of questions for you and your MC. Mind answering them?

2011-02-02 13:08:41 UTC

1. What is your MC's name? And what is it spelled backward?

Caroline is Enilorac spelled backwards, which sounds an awkward name for a fantasy landmark.

2. What makes him/her vulnerable?

She doesn't react quickly to sudden events. This is a serious disadvantage to someone living in her world. Since the humans are hunted like prey, they need to react quickly in order to hide from their predators. If they can't hide, then they're a goner!

3. Do you like sushi?

Oh, no. The first time I tried it, I was eight years old and at a party with our family. Somebody brought a huge plate of sushi so I grabbed a piece and took a huge bite. Then I tasted the raw fish inside so I spewed it all over the floor next to the trash bin.

4. Where do you store your writing? Flashdrive? Computer? Notebook? Folder?

Computer, notebook and folder. The majority of my writing is stored on my computer because it has a password and I don't like people reading my unfinished pieces without my permission. I only write on paper if I'm not in the mood to be staring at a bright screen.

5. Is your MC daring?

No, she's a cautious person. Taking risks isn't a good thing in her world.

6. What is your MC's idea of fun?

Staying inside all day. Sad, I know.

7. Is it snowing where you live?

Yes, and it's been snowing for the past few days. They cancelled school yesterday and today. To be honest, I'm really sick of snow. If I never see it again, it'll be too soon!

8. Is your MC more to the bad side or good side? (Inspired by LilyWhite's question a long time ago) Is he/she Light or Dark?

She's a mixture of both.

9. How similar are you and your MC? On a scale from 1-10. 10 = most

6. We do share some personality traits, but not all. She doesn't look anything like me neither.

10. How different are you? Same scale.

Four.

11. How important are physical traits to a character? Do you describe your characters physically?

As in hair color, eye color, etc? They're not that important to me. I do try to describe my main character's appearance. I don't describe her all at the beginning because that seems lazy, but I scatter a few descriptions throughout the story. What scares me is the over-hyped character descriptions that include so many flowery adjectives (like the way they describe Edward in Twilight - talking about how apparently beautiful he is every time he appears in the scene)

12. Is your MC sarcastic?

Yes. Where's a person without sarcasm??

13. Do you deeply insult your close friends like I do? Be honest.

Yes. We all have a malicious sense of humor, so we're even there!

14. Do you write better in first person or third person?

Third person. Whenever I write in first person, the character comes out sounding immature and narcissistic.

15. What else are you good at besides writing?

Playing the piano, singing, drawing, licking my elbow. :)

16. Have you met an author? If so, who?

Yes - the author of the Horrible Harry series a few years ago. I don't remember too much, except that some kids wanted her to autograph a paper towel and she refused.

17. What did you eat for breakfast? If you didn't have some, SHAME ON YOU!

Lucky Charms and they tasted stale!!...or was that only my imagination?

18. Make a simile for your MC considering his/her personality. Ex: She's as sharp as a shiny knife.

She's as timid as a mouse. It's a very cliche comparison, but it's the first thing I could think of.

19. Do you live to eat. Or eat to live?

I live to eat!

20. Do you like video games?

Yes. Unfortunately, I hardly have time for them anymore. :(

Knock, knock

Who is there?

You know...

You know who?

AVADA KADEVRA! *a flash of green light spreads across the air*

Get it?

Yeah!

What do you get when you cross a Ravenclaw with the infirmary?

ill-literacy!

Tee Hee -- I love your picture! :O

Aamir is my favourite-est actor in the world!

1. What is your MC's name? And what is it spelled backward?

-- Her name's Ashira. It's Arihsa spelled backwards.

-- Computer and I back it up on my flash drive.

8. Is your MC more to the bad side or good side? (Inspired by LilyWhite's question a long time ago)

Is he/she Light or Dark?

9. How similar are you and your MC? On a scale from 1-10. 10 = most

-- 3, maybe 3.5

10. How different are you? Same scale.

-- 7.

11. How important are physical traits to a character? Do you describe your characters physically?

-- Nah, I got up at noon, so I had lunch. xD

19. Do you live to eat. Or eat to live?

-- Live to eat. True story.

Looooool at the joke!

Fael (or Faelan in full) so Leaf (or Naleaf) backwards

2. What makes him vulnerable?

He's probably too loyal to his friends

Don't like the taste of fish at all

4. Where do you store your writing? Flash-drive? Computer? Notebook? Folder?

on my blog and on the top of my desk in paper

5. Is your MC daring?

He'll do what he needs to help his friends if that's what you mean

6. What is your MC's idea of fun?

Sit at home on PC/reading/PS3/Xbox, some stuff he does at Uni he enjoys, typical student stuff you know

At the moment no, it did in december though (which is unusual)

8. Is your MC more to the bad side or good side? (Inspired by LilyWhite's question a long time ago) Is he/she Light or Dark?

Good side I suppose, Light. But I'd more put him as neutral as with all people in reality

4.5

10. How different are you? Same scale.

6.5

11. How important are physical traits to a character? Do you describe your characters physically?

They can be important, depending on the character, eg pointing out someones beauty is pretty important if you have them as the love interest, but I'm not the most descriptive writer there is, I try and get the description out of the way fairly quickly to get onto he storyline

12. Is your MC sarcastic?

He can be extremely sarcastic, but most the time he's either level headed or annoyed

13. Do you deeply insult your close friends like I do? Be honest.

I can do, but that's because I'm a very a-social person. Most my friends who get "close" to me learn to expect the truth out of me, if that insults them then it isn't my fault

14. Do you write better in first person or third person?

I'm fairly happy in both, it depends on what the storyline calls for

15. What else are you good at besides writing?

Chemistry, Biology, pretty poor poet but at least I try.

16. Have you met an author? If so, who?

Not that I know of, sadly

17. What did you eat for breakfast? If you didn't have some, SHAME ON YOU!

I woke up late and had to rush to college so all I managed was an energy drink. Normally its toast though

18. Make a simile for your MC considering his/her personality. Ex: She's as sharp as a shiny knife.

As loyal as a hound

3. Do you like sushi? I like the rice XD (<----- my chinese smile)

4. Where do you store your writing? Flashdrive? Computer? Notebook? Folder? Word and in my e-mail, thats it

11. How important are physical traits to a character? Do you describe your characters physically? They're... not too important, but the eyes of a shapeshifter resemble those of their favourite shift, and Rayna dies her hair burgundy with berries

12. Is your MC sarcastic? naw, she's as dull as ever (hehe, sarcasm, gotta love it)

13. Do you deeply insult your close friends like I do? Be honest. deeply? I get jealous of them sometimes but I never insult them

16. Have you met an author? If so, who? nooo

17. What did you eat for breakfast? If you didn't have some, SHAME ON YOU! Apple and some wheat cheerios (no milk, milk is yucky)

18. Make a simile for your MC considering his/her personality. Ex: She's as sharp as a shiny knife. She's as smelly as a fish in the sea :} get it? She shifts into an orca, and she kind of smells like one?

19. Do you live to eat. Or eat to live? eat to live

20. Do you like video games? YESH

FUNNNNNERS

2011-02-01 00:11:29 UTC

1) Khari. Backwards, Irahk.

2) Everything. His life sucks. He has a parasite growing inside him; does that count?

3) YAY!!!!!!! I LOVE SUSHI!

4) Computer and journals.

5) I suppose. He has a fear of being touched, but he's pretty brave.

6) Any number of things, but I don't usually think of him having fun. He likes eating (he's been starving most of his life).

7) Yeah. About 7" is expected.

8) He's light; his life is dark. As are everyone else around him.

9) 1. He and I are nothing alike.

10) 5. No definite way to measure this, but I think I am weird which is normal. Then again, I am not normal, so I'll settle for a happy medium.

11) Not really. I just poke fun at their lunacy. I have vague descriptions, I guess.

12) No. Khari doesn't know how to use sarcasm, but he can detect it.

13) Yeah. I do. I am blatant and point out flaws in everyone and everything, even myself.

14) Both; it hardly makes a difference for me.

15) Making stuff out of clay, and a lot of other weird stuff.

16) Joseph Bruchac.

17) Cereal and orange juice.

18) Crazy as a guy on meth.

19) Live to eat.

20) Sort of.

2011-02-01 07:05:18 UTC

Hey-ho Spaghetti-oh!

1. What is your MC's name? And what is it spelled backward?

Her name's Ariel, so I suppose backward it would be... Leira? I quite like that. Leira.

2. What makes him/her vulnerable?

How gullible and naïve she is. She's too quick to trust and to believe.

3. Do you like sushi?

No!

*Bile rises up throat*

The last time I ate sushi, I was violently ill. Kind of turned me off.

4. Where do you store your writing? Flashdrive? Computer? Notebook? Folder?

I do my actual writing on my laptop, but I do all the planning, character development and outlining in a notebook. I always find it's easier to brainstorm when I'm writing with pen and paper.

5. Is your MC daring?

Not that much. I mean... She's been known to be a bit brash, but it's certainly not a defining characteristic of her personality.

6. What is your MC's idea of fun?

Relaxing in a nice, leafy spot and daydreaming about the future.

7. Is it snowing where you live?

I wish -_-

I live in Australia, so it's blisteringly hot at the moment. Not to mention muggy, humid and generally oppressive.

8. Is your MC more to the bad side or good side? (Inspired by LilyWhite's question a long time ago) Is he/she Light or Dark?

She's definitely more dark than light. I think you're always going to lose a degree of goodness when you murder somebody.

9. How similar are you and your MC? On a scale from 1-10. 10 = most

Probably about a five. In physical appearance we're kind of similar (pale skin, etc) but our personalities couldn't be more different. She actively seeks out the truth, whereas I'll try and find it on my own.

10. How different are you? Same scale.

I guess a five again.

11. How important are physical traits to a character? Do you describe your characters physically?

I always do. I think it's important to give your readers a clear image of your character. I like to go in-depth when I describe characters so that I can really set them apart from everyone else in the novel. I go right down to eye and nose shape.

12. Is your MC sarcastic?

No really. If I'm honest with you, I think that sarcastic main characters are way over-done.

13. Do you deeply insult your close friends like I do? Be honest.

Yeah, I do. Sometimes I'm just trying to wind her up, and othertimes I'm just so annoyed with her that I'll tell her what I honestly think. She does the same to me, though.

14. Do you write better in first person or third person?

Everyone tells me I write better in first, so I guess that.

15. What else are you good at besides writing?

Nothing. Writing is just a hobby -- I wouldn't necessarily say I was that good at it.

16. Have you met an author? If so, who?

Nope, never.

17. What did you eat for breakfast? If you didn't have some, SHAME ON YOU!

Technically a sausage roll.

18. Make a simile for your MC considering his/her personality. Ex: She's as sharp as a shiny knife.

She's as blunt as a dull blade.

19. Do you live to eat. Or eat to live?

I don't really like food. I'm a really picky eater, and there aren't many things that I like the taste of. Most of the time I only eat things that I can mildly tolerate, and that's as good as it gets for me. Depressing, really.

20. Do you like video games?

Hell yeah! I'm an avid video game player ^-^

2011-02-01 00:17:32 UTC

Ok Lets Procrastinate!

1.) Dino (Nickname)

2.) Always trying to be perfect, which makes it hard when he betrays his friends accidently and he has to cover it up with more lies. (hard to explain)

3.) Yup, delicious

4.)Flashdrive and in a Notebook (terrified of losing my books) my notebook is everything written down before I type it and it's covered in side notes, post it notes, and high lighter marks. Hard to decipher it.

5.) He didnt use to be daring but the more he grows and progresses through my book he becomes very daring

6) His idea of fun is training, he was orphaned and raised to be a 'fighter' I guess you would call him and he doesn't know anything else. He wants to be the best at what he does until....well

7.) no but it is going to be in a few hours, already have blizzard warnings up, two days ago it was 67 degrees outside. Oklahoma weather is weird!

8.) He is light at heart, but ends up betraying everyone he knows even the girl he loves accidentally so some would view him as dark too, he has to Dark things to fix his mistakes.

9.) 1

10.) 9

11.) I describe his physique and his appearance but it's only important because he is a 'fighter' and he works hard on his skills.

12.) No everyone around him is

13.) Yes, sometimes. When someone is being an idiot, I let them know. A real friend will let you know when you're screwing up. A fake friend would let you do something stupid, sit back and watch you crumble. Not me.

14.) 1st person. But my current novel is in third person.

15.) Singing, drawing, advice lol, idea's, problem solving.

16.) Yes, Mary Downing Hahn, SE Hinton, Marilyn manson, his book is friggin weird and amazing. Terry McMillan.

17.) Waffles

18.) Curious and Lost as a puppy. Lol, I don't know.

19.) A little bit of both. I love food, but enjoy quality not the quantity.

20.) LOVE THEM. Sadly. Was just thinking of playing Mass Effect 2 in a bit. Buying Dead Space 2 when I get paid. So....yeah gamer girl. That's embarrassing to admit.

Knock knock!

Who's there?

Madame.

Madame who?

Madame foot's caught in the door!

10. How different are you? Same scale. 4? :O

11. How important are physical traits to a character? Do you describe your characters physically? I guess it would have an impact on their agility and movement, and maybe reflect their inner character (such as a short and sharp featured man being intelligent and a large but broad man being dull-witted). I do describe them physically but not a lot.

12. Is your MC sarcastic? Not much, but her companion is.

13. Do you deeply insult your close friends like I do? Be honest. Ohhh well I'm kind of blunt and a bit insensitive at times... ;o

14. Do you write better in first person or third person? Third :D For some reason, whenever I write first, I have a strange compelling to write in present tense, and it always sounds more relaxed and humorous than a 3rd person.

15. What else are you good at besides writing? I play piano, but when you do it every day for years, it gets realllllly annoying (and I don't even practice every day anymore, though I'm supposed to). I like to think I'm good at other forms of art but I'm an amateur at everything else, and have just started to try my hand at poetry. You wouldn't want to see it, though.

16. Have you met an author? If so, who? Maybe in elementary school, one of those visiting authors, but I can't really remember who.

17. What did you eat for breakfast? If you didn't have some, SHAME ON YOU! A chocolate chip chewy granola bar from Trader Joe's (which is awesome, if you have one in your area), a clementine, and a piece of Tandoori Naan (flatbread). :D

18. Make a simile for your MC considering his/her personality. Ex: She's as sharp as a shiny knife. Omm... as calm and consistent as a stream? I'm not too good at similes... :/

19. Do you live to eat. Or eat to live? I find myself eating less and less, which isn't too good, since I'm supposed to be 'growing'.

20. Do you like video games? Used too, they all got boring :O I tried to troll around in Halo, failed at that, played WoW a little, but my monitor sucked so the graphics were really messed up, and RuneScape, it got boring though.

I'm not a huge fan of Harry Potter, but I get it :D

2. His emotions and grudge against his family.

3. Not the real uncooked fish sushi. Only eat the chicken one :D

4. Computer, refill and folder

5. Hm, I wouldn't say so.

6. Playing guitar, singing, writing lyrics and annoying his little brother.

7. Nope, never snows here.

8. Hmm, I'd say he's Light lol

9. Probably about a seven

10. Three??

11. Yes, I do. I describe the eyes and hair very deeply so that the reader can have a firm idea of what they look like.

12. Very.

13. Haha not really. I'm usually the ones who they insult but in my head, I'd say yes.

14. First person.

15. Haha uhh...

16. I have, and it was David Levithan. I've seen about five authors talk about writing etc but I got to meet David Levithan when my friend and I bought his book and got him to sign it.

17. Shame on me I guess xD

18. He's as emotional as a ... I'm never good with similies haha.

1. Daxter Locke. Ekcol Retxad.

2. His inability to listen and his rash personality.

3. Eww. I'm vegetarian.

4. Composition notebook and Microsoft WOrks Word on my computer.

5. Sometimes, but at first he's reclusive.

6. A day at the beach, spending his morning swimming, boating, playing soccer on the beach. At night, campfire, smores, glowsitcks and flashlights, fireworks, midnight swim, sparklers...

7. Not right now, but I live in Michigan, in an are that's suposed to have 15 - 20 inches of snow by Thursday :D

8. Light, so he thinks. But then he hears the antagonist's dark side and actually listens to what he has to say. He actually begins to think it's a good idea, but it's the dark soul inside his body feeding him these positive thoughts from these negative ideas.

9. -26.

10. 26.

11. He's a simple guy... I usually look up pictures and describe what is most important, eyes, hair, and skin color. And clothing, sometimes.

12. Sometimes, not all the time.

13. Yes, all the time :P

14. I write better in neither, but I like writing in both.

15. Painting, video games (good hand-eye coordination)

16. Johnathan Rand (author of American and Michigan Chiller's series.)

17. Nothing... shame on me :( I don't eat lunch either. All I eat in a day is usually about a can of spagettios, a frozen pretzel, a poptart, you know, something small. I have very bad eating habits.

18. He's as stubborn as a mule...? Aye, bad metaphor there. Lol.

19. Eat to live, but I enjoy food if it's something I like, like chinese food or taco salad minus the meat!

20. THEY ARE THE OTHER HALF OF MY LIFE! Wow, I sound so nerdy... xD one half of my life is writing, and the other half is video games!

Lovely knock-knock joke there :) that's a winner.

?

2011-02-04 01:22:10 UTC

1. Kasey Lewis- backwards: Yesak Siwel (wow sounds Russian)

2. The bullies at school who call her slut and other stuff.

3. Ick no I hate all Asian food (no offense to anyone)

4. Both computer and notebook

5. oh yes

6. Telling stories, and looking up history

7. No I wish

8. Hmm well she's the good girl in the story (well sort of...) but she's not as evil as her sister

9. 5 she's more outgoing then me. I would never hit a jock. Heck I wouldn't hit anyone. Also I would never go into strange woods...creepy

10. 5. ^^ like I said above

11. They aren't that important to her when she's looking at herself. She can just threw on a pair of jeans and sweater and call it a day. But with her crush Owen she thinks he's cute. I describe her as cute but not beautiful...average more like

12. Oh you don't even know

13. Indeed

14. Eh I am good at both. I have one third person going and one first person. I am half and half...

15. Taekwondo!

Kitty KML ~Kings and Queens~

2011-01-31 23:57:38 UTC

Dude you just killed me. NOT COOL.

1. What is your MC's name? And what is it spelled backward?

Leah. Hael backward :D

2. What makes him/her vulnerable?

She's young, so she's quite weak. And she's being forced to grow up very quickly.

3. Do you like sushi?

Some of my best friends are sushi.

(Wait, did you mean to eat it..? Fish are friends, not food...)

4. Where do you store your writing? Flashdrive? Computer? Notebook? Folder?

Computer for the writing, notebook for the plots :D

5. Is your MC daring?

When she's panicking, yes she is.

6. What is your MC's idea of fun?

Spending time with her boyfriend (OMG, CLICHE, BURN HER) who also happens to be her best friend (BURN HEEER!) and is a highly-trained assassin (BUR...oh) and very good at hiding any emotions. She actually enjoys trying to work him out.

Oh, and training with her dad (17 years older than her). Learning how to fight in war is kind of their way of family bonding.

7. Is it snowing where you live?

No, it's 40-something bloody degrees here in Australia. That's like, 109 degrees Fahrenheit.

8. Is your MC more to the bad side or good side? (Inspired by LilyWhite's question a long time ago)

She's on the good side, but her father's an antihero and her best friend (not the assassin, a different friend) is a "villain".

9. How similar are you and your MC? On a scale from 1-10. 10 = most

Pfft, maybe 4. Aside from both being female, we're fairly different, especially by book five in my series. The only thing we have in common is green eyes and a really dysfunctional family.

10. How different are you? Same scale.

Well, 6, wouldn't you think? (Maths makes me feel smart)

11. How important are physical traits to a character? Do you describe your characters physically?

I didn't want another female protagonist whining about how ugly she is, so I made it so that Leah doesn't really care how she looks. Only once does she ever complain that her hair's a mess, but in fairness she was just knocked off of a horse and dragged through the soil by a girl who was trying to kill her. So...yeah, her hair would be a mess.

12. Is your MC sarcastic?

When she's angry, her language changes from English to Sarcasm.

13. Do you deeply insult your close friends like I do? Be honest.

All the time :D

14. Do you write better in first person or third person?

First person. I like writing about the emotions they feel and so on.

15. What else are you good at besides writing?

Humm, I'm pretty good at sitting in shopping trolleys while my friends sprint while pushing it. I've only caused the trolley to fall twice :)

Oh, and Zumba!

16. Have you met an author? If so, who?

Peter McFarlane. I got him to sign my copy of Kart Girl, then went and bought all the other books I could find by him, hurried back and got him to sign them as well. I was like "SIGN THESE!!"

17. What did you eat for breakfast? If you didn't have some, SHAME ON YOU!

Hahaha, how funny that this was asked today. I made toast and jam, but had a mental blank and put it in the microwave for two minutes. The next thing my parents heard was "OH MY GOD I PUT MY SANDWICH IN THE MICROWAVE!"

18. Make a simile for your MC considering his/her personality. Ex: She's as sharp as a shiny knife.

When she's angry, she's as friendly as a chainsaw.

19. Do you live to eat. Or eat to live?

Both and neither.

20. Do you like video games?

Sorry, no :(

2011-02-01 00:06:22 UTC

1. Leslie Ahn. Backwards it's Nha Eilsel.

2. The fact that she is haunted by paralyzing images caused by a demon.

3. Nope.

4. Computer. I have terrible handwriting, so I avoid stories kept in a notebook.

5. She's not out to save the world, but she's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in, if that's what you mean.

6. Listening to rock music with her best friend Sebastian, but sadly, he died.

7. Yep. We've got about 9 inches here in mid-Michigan and we're supposed t get another 17 in a few days.

8. She's on the good side, but she's not good. Sort of like a dark angel, if you may.

9, Probably about a 7 out of 10. Both of us were bullied, me for my thick reddish hair, glasses, and height and her for the fact that's she's Korean.

10. Obviously, a 3 out of 10. I'm a lot more strong-willed and stubborn than she is.

11. Extremely important, especially to my character because she's the only Korean girl in her school and if I didn't say that from the get-go then most of the story wouldn't make sense.

12. Yes, extremely sarcastic.

13. Well I do, but only with good intentions. I don't DEEPLY insult them, just make fun of them a little. You know, like friends do.

14. First person. I can't write in third person to save my life. I end up having to change everything to first person about halfway through the story.

15. Math, playing the piccolo, drawing, remembering things, and geography. I know the last one sounds strange, but I won my school geography bee once.

16. Yes, a long time ago. He's the author of my favorite children's book. But I've never met an author who writes actual novels, except I've gotten a personal letter from an author named Angie Sage, who writes the Septimus Heap seires.

17. Cottage cheese and a Lifewater. That's just how I roll.

18. She's as silent as a passing whisper, yet as furious as a raging bull.

19. I live to eat. I love to eat, but I don't eat in excess and I'm not overweight.

20. Nope. I hate Black Ops, and Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts, and any other video games, really. I've been known to play Super Mario Bros. and The Sims from time to time, though.

So now you've read my random answers to your random questions. Hope you had fun and learned my secrets. Oh wait if you know my secrets then you might just have to mysteriously disappear quite soon...just kidding.

I am in the process of doing homework, but I will take some time to answer this just because of that killer joke at the end!

1. Lara. Aral

2. She's very emotional and she's a little naive. When she trusts, she trusts wholeheartedly even when she really shouldn't. And she also is very blinded by love at the moment.

3. I've never tried sushi. I know, I must be Amish, right? Nope. Never.

4. I type up most of my stuff and save it on my PC, but I have an inspirations journal to write in and I take it EVERYWHERE I go. Besides the bathroom. . .that would be awkward.

5. Very daring. Would you go up and slap a random (and very muscly) werewolf that you had never met?

6. Duels and battles. She lives for the adrenaline of a fight.

7. Sunny and cool here is South Florida!

8. More to the good side, but she's dark. She had a lot of temptations and stuff for her to go to the enemies side. But she believes in her cause.

9. 5. We're both loud, Cuban, and cocky, but she's much more disciplined and mature than me. And she's is also athletic, which I most definitely NOT. I'm a couch potato and proud!

10. see #9

11. Physical traits are pretty important, I guess. I do describe her physical traits, but few times and far between.

12. No, not at all. *sarcasm*

13. I do! I tell them to f*** off and die and I tell them off and I'm really short. But I'm like that with everyone. They're used to it by now. XD.

14. First person .I like telling the reader how the character is feeling, what they're thinking. It allows for a more in depth perception of the piece.

15. Reading, playing piano, schoolwork, singing, swimming. I know I said I'm not athletic but I make an exception for Venetian Pool.

16. Yep. Melissa de la Cruz.

17. Cuban toast with a huge smack of butter.

18. Lara is like a wolf -- fierce and pack oriented.

19. Live to eat. Mmmm, when you have two Cuban grandma's like I do, you have no choice but to savor everything.

20. Depends on the game. I love Rock Band 3.

Your mother is a *beep beep beep*ing*beep*lorem ipsum*beep beep beep*admiumvenium*beep beep beep beep*turolagulio*beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep* hippopotamus*beep beep beep beep beep beep* Republican *beep beep beep* Daniel Radcliffe *beep beep beep beep* with a bucket of *beep beep beep beep* in a castle far away where no one can hear you *beep beep beep beep beep beep* soup *beep beep beep* with a bucket of *beep beep* Mickey Mouse *beep beep* with a stick of dynamite *beeeeeepppp* magical *beep beep beep beep* ALAKAZAM!
