i'm just about as cool as michael phelps. basically.
and frozen.by.sloth is, like, outstanding, but i'm too lazy to PM/email her because i'm doing my homework, so i thought it might be easier to put that here.
go buy yourself a candy cane. the colorful kind.
and eat it.

chapter four of jfobi is up. i had a wonderfully eye-opening break, praise God. and now it's two days before my brother joey's 22nd birthday and i'm still trying to convince him to have his party at chuck e. cheese. it didn't work last month when i tried to convince my other brother, but WORRY NOT! i got it covered.
just full of bad ideas characters:
mackenzie (again)
is the pleasant little freak whose preeminent goal is to make all the inhabitants of the world her best friend. endearing (i guess), outgoing, possessor of a tendency to address her Dear Readers: meet your protagonist. she makes me laugh.
Mack says: Uh, hey. What are we staring at? Certainly not the stain on my shirt. Because that would be tacky and rude. So. Let’s be friends, yeah? Then you won’t have a problem sharing those chips. Eh? Eh?
josiah (again)
is just the guy whose resemblance to Paul Walker had Mack scramming for a chance to get to know him. rude, taciturn, and in other words, a total sweetheart, meet the boy who wouldn’t even tell your protagonist his name. awesome, much?
Josiah says: The heck are you looking at?
mikey
is her yet-elusive older brother who despises being called “Mikey”—this is Mack’s story, however, and she will get her way—and who will explain himself in chapters to come. patience, dear reader.
Mikey says: Yeah, patience. A message from the People Who Care to your—lovely protagonist. And the name is Mike, thanks.
Please.
izzy
is her beautiful, energetic, pushy environmentalist of a best friend. need i say more?
Izzy says: Yes, actually, you do need to say more. Why do I get the shortest intro, huh? And pushy?! Pushy! Jeez. Um, anyway, hi. I’m Izzy, and I’m actually really friendly. Just ask Mack or something—well, no, don’t do that. But I seriously am.
lester
is the flirtatious moron who’s (un)lucky enough to have two girls as his best friends. here’s Lester! and please don’t shudder too much when he kisses your hand, because i adore him. as does your protagonist, and she holds the power here, remember?
Lester says: Hey, so, I was just wondering why anyone would shudder? Because honestly, I don’t think that’s ever happened before. And I don’t see why it would start now. UNCALLED FOR, ANNOUNCER DUDE/CHICK! I sniff at you! But you on the other hand, you’re kinda cute. I waggle my eyebrows at you.

SUNDAY, JULY 13, 2008;
i'm taking a break from this site. i absolutely hate having to do this to you guys (because i'm often absent without excuse as is), but this is important. more important than writing romance stories, more important than me. today, my friend gave me the book Worship Matters by Bob Kauflin and it has convicted me of my duty to the praise & worship ministry, to myself, to my congregation, to my God. i'm tired of the way i treat this site as an idol, the way i get this shallow, yet deep-rooted satisfaction every time i see another story of mine on alert, my name on another favorites' list. you guys are amazing, please don't get me wrong. you don't know how uplifted i feel when you comment on my writing, on stories that i know aren't worthy of half the praise you give them. my heart's not in the right place. my ego's getting too big, i'm getting too proud, and it was honestly terrible (but so, so eye-opening) to realize this. i truly want to give all that i am to Jesus because He deserves so much more than the five minutes after i've just woken up and the two before i go to sleep. writing is fun. Jesus is joy unbridled, incomparable, eternal. He deserves the glory that i love myself, and it's so wrong to want to take it from Him after all He's done in my life. i just thank Him for being patient with me, for dying for me, for helping me die to myself.
i know this might seem odd. it's likely that just a day or two ago, you got a PM or review reply from me, probably wondering if i was having fun bouncing off my walls (padded ones at that, BWAHAHA). i still love that you guys can make me laugh and smile, but i know that this happiness is partly due to the fact i like being glorified and i know my pride is getting out of hand. it's only a matter of time before others get affected. it grosses me out to be standing in front of my church on sunday morning when i've been worshiping myself the whole week, and not the God i'm trying to help them encounter. i've learned that praise & worship is more than singing and strumming; it's letting the people whom i stand before each week see my heart and my passion and be renewed because the Spirit that was in Paul, Daniel, Peter—that same Spirit is in me, in them, ready to work, wanting to fill their souls. i want them to see Jesus, not someone who smiles goofily and pulls a face when she gets a wink or a thumbs-up when inside her heart is bowing to itself as the applause begins. man. i don't want to be a hypocrite anymore. no one sees this side of me but the Only One who matters. and this isn't something i can just make a joke about and forget because i know He won't let me.
when i can handle reading your reviews without exalting myself and rather the God who loves me, comforts me, forgives me, picks me up, saves me, and the God who gave me any scrap of talent at all, i'll come back.
I STILL LOVE TO TALK, YOU SILLIES. LOL. so don't hesitate to PM me just because i seem a little more serious than usual. HEHEHEHHE!
ahem.
i hope you understand. pray for me? i'll miss you guys.

P.S. i'm turning fifteen in september! YAYAYAYAYYAYA! sorry. just had to fit that in somewhere. it's probably the most exciting thing that's gonna happen in the next two months.
MUCHAS gracias to Kyllex of Darkness who left these awesomely awesome reviews for YAE which I haven't updated in fifty-three-and-a-half eons!
THANKS FOR BEING THE 97TH REVIE--
. . . oh, what? What's that?! She was the 100th reviewer as well?! No flippin' way.
That makes you the coolest person on earth, next to Santa and Landon Pigg. I LOVE YOU!
recommendation(s) of the whatever time period:
Anything by Mr. Satire because he is one of the funniest people alive. If he still is alive. (WHERE ARE YOU, MISTER?!)
Of Girls and Guitar Hero by Dot Cubed because ohmehgash, it's flippin' brilliant. freakishly real, comical, guy-ish, and heart-warming all in one. the characters (coughfrankcough) may be potty-mouths, but i understand that the authoress is trying to capture collegelifeness. i deal. because this story is too wonderfully awesome (TOTHEMAX) to cast aside.
about the a.u.t.h.o.r. ;; (who turned fifteen on the twenty-second of september, wootwoot)_
she is truncating her abouttheauthor segment because it was as long as a really long, like, thing.
so basically, she's a daughter of Christ and that's really all that matters right now.
but since she likes to talk, she also wants to say:
she's from LOLCITY, USA.
her least favorite word is "random." really. what does that even mean anymore?
Noob 1: "Hey, I'm Becky and I am so RANDOM!!11! SRSLY!1"
Noob 2: -thinks- random, huh? that must mean...KEWL. "RILLY!!1 ME 2, I'M A RANDOMEST PERSON!!1!"
she absolutely looveess (LOVES!) running (even though her coach won't let her run with an iPod for fear that she won't hear the screams of "CAR! CAR!" over her music, which is pretty much ridiculous) and she is constantly thanking God for this joy, and for the strength he gives her when she's running up mountains and she feels she might keel over. "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. (Psalm 121:1)"
she also loves her brothers, but she's probably never told them that. she kicks them off her bed (her sheets were just washed, okay?!) instead.
her favorite thing about ficpress is the new thing (thingthingthing) where they show the readers by country. that is just COOL. she's never even heard of some of these places (heh, whoops), and - whoaboy, it's awesome.
she used to submit anonymous reviews as "special" under the pseudonym "allie" because she thought she was that mysterious and cool.
UH-OHS. this is becoming a really long thing (thing!). SHE WILL END HERE!
(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12: 9-10)
CHARACTER PICTURES! Oh yeah, bay-beh. (suggestions are appreciated/encouraged/adored muchly.)
Michelle has got that cutely casual thing going on. She's a whackadoodle sweetheart, but not very easily noticed. She's still awesome, though:P
Ryan is definitely someone you wouldn't mind staring at forever. Suave and charming; a natural ladies' man. (soooo dreamyy...-drools-)
Rachel The epitome of exotic beauty; fun, cool, and...uhh..she's cool. Again. And really really really pretty, too.
Joshua is mysterious and cold around some people, but fun and playful around others. And he's schmexy. ;) OH yeah.
Anthony Serious, intense. His eyes are so..mmmmm. But he is a Watson. The silly loser-ness is in his genes. (who cares if he looks constipated in the second pic? -.-)
Joey is pretty easy-going, pretty piercing, pretty sweet. (: Tom Welling is...pretty pretty, also.
Michael: pahahaha. Annoying little bugger...gotta love the guy.
Cindy : pretty, pretty, screechy Cindy. Ditzy, but innocent. She'll be important later on. (: I'm trying to find a better picture...but it's boring.
(dreamysighsnifflecry) To anyone who's ever reviewed any of my work: you are officially on my Love Forever List. You guys are just...amazing cookies, seriously. Un-smushed Twinkies for you...ily.
-Happy happy Becky
