Hey thanks for visiting. I never thought of myself as a good writer...but I found its a good way to vent. I've changed my pen name from "CatSlayer"....fyi.

I am 21, male. I live in Tampa, FL. I like to draw,play sports, listen to music, hang out with friends,makin people laugh, and just discovered I like to write..lol. ...i also like hanging out with my two best friends Fluffy and Kitty, you guys are the best!! They call me Tipsy(not cause i get drunk or high or anything, thats not my style)...I'm really starting to become fond of that name, but that name is restricted for close friends to call me. Kitty is on fictionpress...her penname is Kokuun, check her out, she's good. She says she doesn't care about reviews..but deep inside she does. So review her ok? Fluffy is also on fictionpress. His penname is "Confuzion in a Nutshell". Go check him out.

My favorite bands are... Linkin Park, Green Day, Something Corporate, Evanescence, Hoobastank, P.O.D., Jars of Clay, DC Talk, Pillar,Yellowcard, MXPX, Story of the Year, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, The Used, and Three Days Grace...just to name a few.

I don't like..pop music and country, being annoyed(mainly for my lil sis), cursing, smoking, drinking, drugs....and other stuff I can't think of right now...lol.

So I hope you enjoy what you read..PLEASE REVIEW. I like feed back.And Thanks to everyone who has already reviewed. You guys rock! I'd like to say wus up to AlleyKatGV, Sharpie Red, StaryDynamo, happy thing, and CowGirl1987x2006..for their consistant reviewing. Thanks guys!

Quotes:

"Shirts are good!!!" -Me-
(I yelled this to some kid who decided he thought he looked good without a shirt...he didn't.)

"I'm tired of your shenanagins!!" -Me-

"Awww...poor losers." -Kitty-

JenJen: My horse went lame.
Kitty: Wut! what happened?
Me: Maybe the horse said "screw it"
Kitty: Tipsy!
JenJen: No, he has a good theory.
(a convo between the three of us, JenJen didn't know why the horse went lame...so i made a suggestion.)

Kitty: Which Final Fantasy have you played?
Me: I haven't played any Final Fantasy before.
Kitty: BLASPHEMY!!!!!
(Kitty was trying to explain guardians to me or some piece of crap, i was confused so she asked if i have played any of the games.)

Anet: Girls have super powers you're not aware of.
Me: Yeah I am...its called P.M.S.
Anet: Shhhh...you're not supposed to know about that!
(I just thought this was funny. Anet said that her and her friends, could track me down with their "super powers".)

"Fame is like a drug, but what was even more like a drug...was the drugs." -Homer Simpson-

"Go home, go sleep, go to school, I don't care!! Just let me take my drugs!!!" -Kitty-

Peter:Oh man Brian!!! There is a hidden message in my Alphabits!...it says.."oooooooo"
Brian:Peter those are cheerios
(Family Guy)

Meg:Chris!! you jerk..you're hogging all the fans!
Chris:Yeah well.....you're hogging all the ugly!!!

"I have an idea so genius that my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about" -Peter Griffen- (Family Guy)
