VintageReminder 2008-05-15 ch 8,	abuseI LUV THIS STORY! I was laughing so hard, and my laugh is so fricking loud and obnoxious and it made me laugh harder and then it was sunny and i was ridiculously hyper and nuts and i laughed so hard and i'm HYPER! JDL;AJDKSLFLDA;D;LFADLK;SFKDL;KLSA Okay. I'm done. Whew! Now, back to the whole "reviewing" deal. I love this story! I love Mimi, and it's weird because all of the people in this story remind me of people I know and dammit i'm still hyper and this is a frickin' long sentence holy crap I scare myself. Sorry, didn't meant to unload my hyper-high-on-airness on ya. I apologize with the fire of a thousand suns! (but not really kinda. Sorta.) Wow! I'm done. VR OUT! blablablablablablablablabla. I'm done. (I said that already.) This is a horrible review. I'm sorry. But I love your story, and I hope that makes up for this sad excuse for a review! (sniffs) :( :) I'm happy again! Sorry, bye. VINTAGE REMINDER OUT Bye! (I don't know when to stop. I guess here will suffice.)
Diz.E.Z 2008-05-09 ch 1,	abuseHii. I'm new to fictionpress and thought I'd go around and read some stuff. So far I really likes this. Not much to say yet. But I'll keep reading soon to see where this goes. ^_~...chuu
Efreisone 2008-05-09 ch 1,	abuseCan I just say, that scene from 10 Things I Hate About You is my absolute favorite scene in a movie? Ever? Also, I am fully a jeans-down girl. I like your writing- I've read a few of your stories already. But I guess sometimes what you're writing about irks me. I felt like you had excess background in this first chapter: there's the Rapunzel shpiel, then the summer heat bit, and then the personal description. It's like you want me to know exactly who the character is before the actual story begins. Which, I guess, is a good intention- but! (There's always a but.) I really think a good story lets the reader figure out who the character is. Some background is fine, but make it quick! Then when you've got the reader's attention, flesh out your character as the story progresses. Just keep in mind : it's not that I don't like your story- I wouldn't be reviewing if I didn't see something worth my time.
FreeDaChickens 2008-05-04 ch 6,	abuseThis chapter was hilarious! I was laughing pretty much the entire way through it. You wrote the sick scene so it was funny and realistic without being gross. Amazing! FreeDaChickens
FreeDaChickens 2008-05-04 ch 8,	abuseI completely love this and can't wait for an update! The characters are so good and realistic, though it is getting a little cliche, especially in the last few chapters. So I really thought the pairing was Robin/Mimi until this chapter because it seemed almost like Seth was thinking that last part. And, if Seth didn't have a girlfriend, I'd be hoping for him because I think he fits better with Mimi, but because he does I'm hoping not (I don't like love triangles). Your grammar's really good, just a couple of dropped commas here and there. The dialogue and her thoughts are also really good, and I absolutely love the funny one-liners you drop throughout the chapter. Can't wait to see this updated! FreeDaChickens
FreeDaChickens 2008-05-04 ch 1,	abuseSo I took your advice from your reply to my earlier review and picked this story to see your more recent stuff. And I have to say, you have improved immensely. This story is really, really good. Her characterization is so much better, it's very realistic. It's so rare to see a character this good, where she really is the normal girl, and not the girl the author says is normal but really isn't (you know, completely gorgeous/popular/emo/etc). Her personality, friends, quirks, all done so well! Especially her feelings about true love & her fairytale, really shows what I think every girl that age feels. I absolutely love your beginning and can't wait to read the next chapters! FreeDaChickens
Walrus Lover 2.0 2008-04-23 ch 1, anon.	abuseI don't get it. Why is this called "Counting Chickens". -Wally
April's Fool 2008-03-24 ch 1,	abuseThis is seriously one of the funniest stories I've come across on this site. XD Strangest scenes (eg. dog funeral) + quirky narrator = lovelovelove. I adore your characterisation of Mimi; she's very much three-dimensional to me in a way I can't really explain, but it's fantastic. I love her overdramatic-ness and her hopeless romantic-ness and her dreaminess. I think there's a piece of her in every teenage girl. =P Mimi is a funny name. My aunt is called Mimi. ;) Do update soon.
cue.dramatic.gasp. 2008-03-15 ch 8,	abuseReally really really really REALLY good! Loved it. Please update. I wonder who it is...Seth or Robin? I'm guessing Robin...
SapphireEyes16 2008-03-01 ch 8,	abuseluv ur story so far, itz hilarious, so update soon!
Oh-the-Insanity 2008-02-27 ch 8,	abuseHi. I like this story. I like it so much that I'm writing this horribly juvenile review at 3 AM on a Wednesday instead of sleeping like any mildly normal person would be. Although, I have to say, I noticed two or three times that you had trouble with some irregular plurals. Phenomena is the plural of phenomenon. Just so you know. There was another word somewhere else, but I don't remember what or where, just that it was the same sort of irregular singular/plural switch.
Melodramatic Kerfuffle 2008-02-22 ch 1,	abuseWow, I think this is around the third time I've read this, and yeah, it's really good each time. Lol, just thought I should review... Anyway, I miss your updates, please update TFoF or this, soon?
hear.me.roar.please. 2008-02-16 ch 2,	abuse"Never mind. He’s just eye-molesting my ice-cold coke." Hahaah, i love that! this storys hilarious and i kept laughing eevery 2 seconds which might not be so good since its 2 in the morning and my parents wouldnt be pleased to hear me but yeah, good story.
Alice 2008-02-15 ch 8, anon.	abuseOmigod. Are you ever going to start this up again? Because I am in ** suspense here right now. I'm like is it Robin Roe (I've taken to calling him by his full name too) or is it Seth? Ohjesus. If you're not going to start it up again, could you please please please email me who Mimi was going to end up with?
ahttp://www.fictionpress.co... 2008-02-15 ch 4, anon.	abuseOhmigod. I am Mimi. Really. I'm Asian. I frequently go through the things Mimi goes through (I mean, not the embarassing situations, but the insecurities and the gorgeous friends).
