Oh the search for the lost garage door opener. Yeah I’m going to concentrate on these two at the moment.

Until I find a way to mess it all up.

Let's start with Lex. I gave him Steve because he was becoming a little impossible for me to keep up with. That's why Steve doesn't talk he's just there to keep Lex occupied until I either figure it out or totally give up on it. I can't kill him off because he's got a contract for the season so I just shove him around. Sloane totally figured out the vest bit, she even commented on it when she was whispering with Gabriel when Skylar was busy staring at his object of affection. He probably would have heard more if he hadn't been so busy drooling. I left you guys as clueless as Skylar on purpose. Part of it was chapter length. I knew this one was going to be a big one when I plotted it out and I made a deal with myself, if it made it to 10-12k I'd split it, if it made it 10k or under I'd send it, so I literally had to keep it short in some areas or risk going over. lol Madison could be worse unfortunately I was never a teenaged girl. I'm always going to miss the target on the fairest of the sexes especially how mean they can get just because I cant fit myself into that mindset. I can try to imitate it but I can't feel it. It's something I'm working on, I'd like my female characters to eventually be just as good as the male ones. That's why Kenzi and Sloane are the way they are, it's also why I always have at least one female friend that's just a strong mean one in general. One thing about Sloane though she could give a damn about the crown, she just hates Madison so anything to the effect of putting her down is worth it's weight in gold. And Gabriel my golden child. Go figure the scene that's been in my head would be the one you didn't like hahaha. I totally get what your saying though, and it really is a fair and valid point. To counter that point though, Gabe did have a fair bit of responsibility for what happened and he really is just trying to fall on the sword as it where. Yes Sky needs to figure out where his courage is, but I kind of felt the urge to cap off an explosion before it had a chance to happen, and hopefully give Ryan the chance to see Gabe as something other than a huge threat. I really almost want to fling Gabe at Sloane to be honest so I could have something like: "Ew. You kissed my brother and touched this butt!" "But now I want to kiss you and touch your butt." "Not happening choir boy." Then: "You know that's gross right?" I said as I watched my sister saunter away. "Hey, I'm keeping it in the family!" Just to give him something to focus on, while Ryan tries to figure his self out because you know he's all messed up inside. A five minute conversation that happened one night with a hug isn't going to fix his mess. Or I could just say to hell with it end it here, call it a novella and go about my day. 😂 Not like I don't have half a dozen things breaking my door down.

I'm getting older so now I'm just using the stuff I'd do and the stuff I'd be mortified of lmao.

Yeah. 😂 Don't forget the So your penis can do more than pee. Now what? brochure.

Heaven help me lol

I almost did. But we got the tropes to get the boy, now we gotta do the tropes to keep the boy. Plus some family drama you know somebody is getting kicked out. It's a trope. I'm undecided tho so the status could change.

Yeah that whole thing was meant to be subtle in fact, it was so subtle I almost forgot about it until the end. Oops. 😂

It was a long one. I almost rewrote it but I stopped myself this time. Instead I just posted it and walked away which is why I'm only replying to comments just now.

Or at least part of one yes. It’s the right track if thinking. This was one of the more difficult chapters for me to even keep track of.

I survived Spirit Week. I survived the homecoming football game. I even managed to survive without applying glitter, hanging streamers, or touching a single balloon—an achievement that should honestly be recognized by the state. What I did not survive was the dance. Oh no. Kenzi had decided the dance was important. Which, in Kenzi-speak, meant it was now a platform. A statement. A “moment.” What that actually meant in practice, I had no idea. Was I scared? Absolutely. See, the t

This is kind of intriguing. I can’t promise anything but hum.

I’ll have to think about this one.

Angry hate sex is ah…. Actually I have no words for it. None that are good in any kind of polite company lol

I prefer the happy one myself but this one made me lol because it was so hard. Like emo to the max. 😂

Yes states with law enforcement that use blue lights primarily is a small number and is region locked pretty much. I’m a law enforcement nerd and we know these things. i got pulled over while driving across the south once and I didn’t even see the cop behind me because I was too into my song, when he finally blasted the siren I pulled over and he was like: ”don’t you know when you see blue lights you pull over?” my reply almost got me arrested: “sir I’m sorry but where I’m from blue lights don’t mean shit.” lol

That says a lot about the e-fiction era. 😂 I noticed I joined the site actually before you did and that shows how two roads can diverge quit a bit. I was intimidated by the e-fiction setup and the community of that time, you went head strong into it and remained a pillar for a long time. But I also had other things going on at the time both irl and online. I ran an RP gaming community for almost a decade somewhere in the middle. Yet somehow the roads managed to come back 20 years later lol i won’t admit to anything I wrote in the 2000s and thankfully they are far and few between so you’ve got stronger stuff than I do.

Yeah this is actually all my fault. I had just finished Encrypted and I needed to decompress from that action so I found this. whoops.

Some traditions are never meant to die!

The author warned you that this was an early work from her high school years and the nostalgia drips from the 2000s way of story telling. it’ll make you cringe, it’ll make you count the tropes and you’ll have two endings to choose from in this hot mess of teenage angst. But under it all is a story of protagonist who lost damn near everything and still managed to find strength through friendship, a new love and the memory of a loved one that just wouldn’t fade. Its one of the better stories of the period and an easy read that’ll still make you laugh, cry and cringe at everything in between.

@Krista show us using this doll who bullied you into this ending lmao. Was it a group effort? Is this how you learned to get mean? I mean hot damn girl way to throw a friggen loop as an FU to the haters LOL

BLUE LIGHTS YOU JUST NARROWED YOUR LOCATION!

Mine both died before either found out. My family wasn’t too religious except for a couple of aunts, the men just liked to drink and judge about what a man was, stupid shit like that. I wouldn’t have gotten kicked out because of Leviticus I would have gotten it because it was an embarrassment to the family, and that was more serious than anything the Bible could throw at you. It was really an odd dynamic. Not backed by biblical thinking but with something just as bad. At least with my folks they didn’t hide behind a Bible they were honest about how they felt and silence was the best way to handle it. im sure my dad would have been mad for a while but eventually he would have gotten over it, when he saw the rest of the family just accept it handle it individually and move the eff on. Now it just doesn’t matter to me because I don’t talk to the people that have problems with me and I don’t try and talk to them and that’s just the way it is.

Dude you make nifty blush wtf you mean 😂

Sigh so incorrectly unfair. I’m not going to roast this one because I get the sentiment it was to serve.
