Meme Madness:
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
B. Tag seven people.  (i hate tagging!)

1. I've got a thing for strange and unusual pairings, ie: peeps that normally wouldn't stand together whether it's in love or battle, but find that common ground.

2. I drink about 6 cups of coffee a day. I've cut down from a pot and a half. :D

3. I'm one of the very few fanfiction writers that write about Native Americans and use fact.  Too many people use the Indian Princess shit.  I actually KNOW some of my language (not fluent, unfortunately) and use it and some others in fic. Nearly all of my OC's have some Cree or Sioux or Mohawk in them.

4. I can't wait to be a little old kohkom. :D   I want the fast car, too many cats, rocking chair, and a harem of hot manmeat doing my housework.

5. I can lick my elbow.

6. I try to see everything in multiple points of view, ie: Politics, religion, world shit, and simple arguements.  Can't fight/argue/think right without seeing things from the 'other' POV.   Makes for better understanding as well.

7. I read fortunes via runes.  Haven't done it in a while because it drains me and gives me migraines, and the intensity depends on how far away the person is. I'm normally quite accurate.  Can't do my own though, which is annoying, but deserved.

Alrighty, I tag Zagzagael, Vix,  Maddarilke, Sister_dear, Merisel (haha you have to post something!), deepseasiren, and Tiamat :P.   Feel free to meme yourself out if you weren't tagged, and if any of you don't want to, that's cool. I usually don't do these buggers either.
 

Because I miss you guys:
 

Several years ago, Great Britain funded a study to determine why the head of a man's penis is larger than the shaft. The study took two years and cost over $180,000. The results concluded that the reason the head of a man's penis is larger than the shaft is to provide the man with more pleasure during sex.

After the results were published, the French declared that the British were wrong and decided to conduct their own study of the same subject. After three years of research and a cost in excess
of $250,000, they concluded that the head of a man's penis is larger than the shaft to provide the woman with more sexual pleasure.

When the results of the French study were released, Newfoundland decided to conduct its own study. So, after nearly three weeks of intensive research and a cost of around $75, the Newfie's study was complete. They came to the conclusion that the reason the head of a man's penis is larger than the shaft is to prevent his hand from flying off and hitting him in the forehead.  

Okay, I'm so completely and utterly sick of seeing authors write "Review or I won't write anymore."     As soon as I see that crap I stop reading the story altogether.  I hate ultimatums, cries for attention, and review whores.  It's a pet peeve of mine, sorry but if you are one of those authors, STOP IT.  Right now.   If you're writing just so people grovel at your feet for more,  get out of the 'business'.   Write for fun, write because it's a creative release, write so you can see your favorite characters do groovy things,  but DON'T write if all you want is people fawning all over you.  Because, in most likelyhood, if you're begging for reviews,  you're not that good a writer.  

That said,  if you want HELP, ask for HELP.  Ask for CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.  What that means to me is that you actually want help to improve your writing, story telling, grammar, etc, and are willing to hear people who want to help. 

Hell, even ask for reviews cause they give you a boost, and you like to hear from your readers!  If I like your story, I will review it.  And probably fangirl a little. (heh).  But as soon as you give me an ultimatum,  you can pretty much rot.

Sorry, I'm blunt that way.
