Everything You Ever Wanted To Hear

We're acquainted; it's quite alright if you don't recall, as it was a while ago.

Actually, I just wanted to comment on the idea of a ramen restaurant, since I've been looking for one for a while now with no luck. It's about as hard to find as paella.

Anyway, neat blog. I think I'll peruse it a bit.

Don't know if you've read any Bill Bryson (a marvelous travel writer that tells achingly funny stories) but his book, "the mother tongue, english and how it got that way" seems like it was written for you. Give it a read (although it's nowhere near as funny as his travel stuff), you might just like it? BTW, I think your writing is wickedly good, topical and smart, but I almost wish you weren't so hard on yourself sometimes. Then again, maybe better to set the bar higher now so that you can ease off of yourself down the road? Lastly, there are still a few of us 20%ers out there that appreciate all of you for just showing up and trying your best to feed us, I know it will even out for you someday...

BTW: the Sun Also Rises is a magnificent book and seriously, you'd be surprised at how few of LA's teenagers can formulate a grammar-abiding sentence, let alone one that makes the reader chuckle.

Thank you! Thank you for your honest opinion about "Twilight", the book. I was pretty late at jumping on the "Twilight" band wagon, but I bought the book and could only get half-way through. I kept pushing through because of all the hoopla and I was sure I would get to the part that made this book so popular. I couldn't do it...I couldn't read another description of Edward. Boring and nauseating. You confirmed what I was afraid to admit to my "Twilight" loving friends. Thanks.

Hahaha, yeah, I know Twilight looks like a fanfiction compiled in books, but since I'm a great vampire fan AND fanfic reader, I think I'll give it a shot XD.
And I completely understand how you feel about some authors' mistakes on grammar and spelling on FF.net. Heck, even when I'm still learning English I couldn't commit some of them.
Oh, by the way, your fanfics are AWESOME! My favourites are the TDI ones. I know it's been a while since you updated "Summer Girls", but I hope it doesn't stay on hiatus, the first chapters promises a very good story, and it sure will be with your narrative skills

Once again, more wonderfully amusing rants! I particularly liked htat Eel/Chicken thing. It makes me want to start my own blog, only it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as I can't get a job and can't write in the same way you can. (Without being blantantly mimicking you, of course.#

Actually, this is just a random thought, but does it annoy you when people go, "HI I HAVE FANFICS IN MY LIVEJOURNAL GO READ THEM PLZ" in their profiles? It seems excessive to me, and even worse, attention-whorish. I don't mind if they write their OWN stories, but when they write fanfics that they could just as easily put on ff.net/another fanfiction website, it just seems like their doing it to be awkward. #I even saw a girl threaten to flame people in her livejournal if they gave her a "bad" review. Ooh, no, have mercy.#

I mean, if I WANTED to read their LJ's, I would go there. They shouldnt go on another website where I want to read fanfics and demand I read them somewhere else.

I must admit, I do enjoy the shameless promotion of Brittany's photo in your News feed.

Found an article about you in the Los Angeles magazine and I couldnt help but look you up. I am pleased!

you are a truly amazing writer.

All your writings make me wanna dryhump something. in a good way.

I have also now realized the irony and embarrassment of being a proud grammarian and ending the very sentence which proclaims me so with a preposition. Sometimes it's unavoidable.
