Great story! I hope I get just as many reviews as you have!

You're talent isn't gone, just hidden because you haven't found a reason to find it yet. When you do, you will change souls.

Alright, so I have decided after careful consideration that "Psychoanalysis" is my favorite bit in your anthology so far. I was going to go with "Angel," just because it rocked, but this one was more deliberate - and I admire people who can write deliberately and do it well; it is a talent possessed by far too few.

Your characters are VIVID (why don't review boxes offer italicized fonts?) in this one, which is another big plus: it made the scene easy to picture, and you somehow still left the reader something to play with. The bit at the end with the cashier was ... I'll say, "quirky," because I wasn't expecting it, but it made me smile. The only think I can think to criticise is how abruptly the male lead called your protagonist "Sis." This doesn't seem like a conversation that an annoying younger brother would have with his sister; I was picturing a co-worker or something, one your protagonist was hanging out with against her better judgement. If you brought in how the characters were related earlier in the scene, your flow wouldn't be so interrupted with the information.

Everything else is great. Now that I've officially typed you the longest review ever, I think I'll let you go. Really, this whole anthology is just a joy.

Hahaha, I loved this. Quite entertaining. Interesting plot and I loved the ending. The whole situation was really comical (at least to me) so great job!! ^_^

Oh, great new addition. It was funny actually. Or maybe I have a weird sense of humor, not sure. But anyway, entertaining and I loved the two characters and the whole situation. I love Freud actually, well no, but. *sigh* Okay, start over. I loved reading about his ideas, they're really entertaining and always amuse me when I read them. ^_^ Seem radical for his times.

Heh, salty Kool-aid. I actually haven't had Kool-aid in a long time, kind of in the mood. The only sweet drink we have is...apple juice I think, but that's for the two year old pest sitting next to me on the couch. Well, the painkillers have kicked in and the headache (for the current time) has disappeared so I can read and not want to hide somewhere dark. Great job on these. I really enjoyed reading them. They were...I don't know, fun. The plots were original and the characters always seemed new and different which made reading fun so you could really get involved. Sorry, I'm a horrible critic. Normally I just don't review unless I really like it and never if it's done. But I'm glad I found the things you've written, good things to read and fun too.

I liked this one a lot-lot too. Well, the one before too, but I thought I could hold out on reviewing, but I can't so alas, here I am. Ooh, I like your author's note about thinking about how different people can have bad lives in different ways. It reminds me of trying to show a group of people in my English class (mutters descriptive words) that sure someone in Africa may have a sucky life but you can't say you shouldn't feel bad about your life because they have a worse one. It's all proportional. If they only eat once a week, that's bad for them, but if you miss lunch, that's bad for you. Or maybe I do sound stupid and it wasn't that they couldn't understand, it's that I made no sense. Anyway, I liked this. Ah, the evil child (my sister) is really irk-some so must be off...again.

La la la la, I was going to wait until later to review this one, but I enjoyed this a lot. The car one reminded me of something my friend asked me once, "I heard a car's tires screech last night but no crash. I was disappointed. Do you think I'm insane?" Ha, well, no, I don't. I get disappointed too. It always offers the possiblity of a story to tell or something interesting but then nothing. I don't know, disappointing. Anyway, these are all really good, just so you know. Even with the minimum amount of dialogue, which isn't a bad thing at all anyway, they're still really descriptive and engaging.

I read your fanfic.net stuff, sorta liked the theme, and thought I'd see what you have up here.It's nifty to see these, and I like the... not dark but... starkly realistic? edge you take with just about everything.

Comment, review, what-the **-ever. Well, I've been reading them, just not commenting, so now it is my turn to have fun and waste space in this nifty little box. Yay for wireless keyboards. They win at life, you know. Anyways, good writing, always always love it.

Hey!
Okay, first, sorta disregard some of the reviews I wrote a while ago. . .I was just in a bad mood and everything kinda came out wrong :(
Back to the story.
I love this. You just can't not. Funny and angsty and why can't you love a character nicknamed Satan that wants to kill an electronic bass?
"Son, the Bible teaches that homosexuality is wrong. If you need to talk to one of us, or even the pastor, we can arrange it."
I. LOVE. THAT. Sounds like my mom when I was 12 and told her "hey, I'm bi!" She wanted to send me to a convent. (Right. . .let's go send me to live with a bunch of women right after I tell you I like women).
Yes, Southern Baptists *are* **. I grew up with Southern Baptists and Catholics. . .*shudders*
Vanilla-scented candles! Macbeth! Ah, pansy-dom goodness. :)

Yummy. I want more

*shivers* Oh, that wasn't bad! That was creepy. Good. *gives stamp of approval*
I never cut myself, though I have tried to kill myself. Let's see. . .four suicide attempts since I was 12, I think. One by OD'ing on pills and alchohol, next by razor blades to the wrists, next by pills, fourth. . .well, I don't know how I was going to do that one. But I do know I wrote a suicide note.
And they think I don't need therapy.
Sorry I've been ranting about the whole therapy thing. . .it's just, I should have had it four years ago. And you know why I wasn't allowed to go? "We don't want them to think you're a freak."
I'm going to go read some more now.

You know, reading your bio. First off, you are just the best person on the earth for quoting my favorite line from Finding Nemo, and second, at least the chick that takes care of you wants you to be a writer *rolls eyes* It's kind of. . .not the future my family has planned for me. But then again, I guess I'd have to be a doctor to pay for the Viper and Tiffany & Co. calender platinum watch I want, huh? ;) And for my therapy, which starts next month. . .whee. Yay. And I get to work as an editor at a publishing co. until I go to college. To pay for having to be in therapy, I bet. 'Cause they really hate that I have to be in therapy.
Anyway, on to the story. You started out with the kid in Geometry, which IS the most boring class. EVER. In the world. I've had it checked on. Non-Euclidian is the worst.
You got pulled into the office, huh? Hm. My school wants to expell me. *grins big*
The rest of the story. One word: Wicked.

Dude, you changed the names. Again. It confused me at first, but now it's all good. I loved it. And I have a big imagination ^-^
