Feelin' Grumpy

Got this review recently. Hey! I love your fics! I’ve been reading through the series these past few dayz! While the first one was sorta iffy in the beginning, and seemed sorta OOC to me, it shaped up later! Good work! You kept me interested in it, which is pretty good. You have no idea […]

yeesh!!

Insane day, start to finish.  I sat how many hours staring at the computer and accomplished nothing?  And then I got off work, and guess what? How many hours staring at the computer and nothing accomplished?  *sigh* Ass in chair, I remind myself.  Ass in chair, or nothing gets done. My ass is IN the
