(no subject)

A friend of my mother's came into town a couple nights ago. It's kinda strange because I remember her from when I was a child (she still drives that old Volvo). Anyway, she's artistic, makes homemade pickles (none came up this time), works with beads (I got to make a bracelet), paints faces (stop looking at me like that), and she say that the only thing she misses about cable is the fact that she doesn't get HGTV.

And I think I have Dad watching 'Dead Like Me'. Asked me if I wanted to watch it. He said that he heard that it was pretty good, and of course I told him that I'd already watched it. Too bad I'm baby-sitting tonight else I'd watch the first two episodes with him.

Yes, I am on a Tamora Pierce kick. Just wanted to warn everybody. That how I'm filling out those summer reading things, one quartet at a time.

Oh, and a confession: I have a trick for getting on the computers here without actually letting them know that I've been on twice in one day. I just walk out of sight when I get kicked off, and then I curl up in a chair with a book. Usually by the time I've finished, the shift has changed and the people think that this is my first time there. *rolls eyes* Yes, I know I am so evil.

Over and out.

Nee . . . watch me get sued, but I've been having this idea for a while. If you've ever been cruising on FFN, you know that some of the summaries just scream "Make fun of me," so in the spirit of Good Mean Fun, here are the ones the just scream "Mary Sue!"

• What if Sora recieves help on his journey by a certain 'Wielder of the Powerblade'? R & R, people, R & R!
• A young girl named Lorie found a sword in a cave the day her world, Gris, was attacked by the heartless. She was told to go to a ship and get off her world. After fling for a while she finds herself on Tranvers Town, There she is told she must find Sora a
• Setting: Before the Heartless come. Kairi lives with her foster parents, and they abuse her. She tries to hide it frrom the world, and thus far has done a good job. Will this angel ever get to spread her wings and fly from her prison? I hate the MS-ification of canon.
• Samieya longs to go to another world. She is sick and tiered of living in her ghostly home town.One day a strnge demon boy comes to the town in search of the "Key Hole". Good Story all my friends like it. Please read and reveiw! Nope, not until you can learn to spell in your 'summeries'.
• What happens when Sora finds a girl unconcious on the beach? They become friends, but will they stay that way? And what does the demon, Ceres, have against her? Read to find out. PG-13 for my slight potty-mouth. PAIRING: Sora/??? Riku/???Nine times out of ten '???' usually has BAD implications.
• i suck at summaries. sora riku and tidus r in college. they see 3 pretty girls and they start follwing them. they get themselfes into real trouble. it's funny and please read & review. be nice it's my 1st fanfic. Don't even get me started
• Riku falls in love with this girl who suddenly appears on Destiny Islands after he arrive's back (somehow). RikuxOC (Trista) KairixSora At least she's honest.

I think that's enough to get me in trouble. ^_^

Sigh, to work with my Tamora Pierce kick, I think I'm actually going to go on a spiel about her main characters and why they are not Mary Sues thank you very much.

First, Tamora Pierce merely does with female characters what most fatansy authors do with male characters. That is she gives them some unusual destiny. That is the M.O. of all fantasy authors, and until you can claim that all male characters written under this formula are Gary Sues, you can hardly say that any female characters created by the same formula aren't Mary Sues.

Second, none of her characters are the best at everything. All of them have been beaten, have made mistakes, have well . . . shown that despite their powers or their unusual situations that none of them are perfect. Most aren't even natural beauties.

Third, not everyone loves the characters, and they don't win everyone over by the end. There are always some characters who disapprove of the main ones even after they've made themselves famous.

Ick not much of a spiel, so sue me.

Over and out.
