![]() Author has written 6 stories for Romance, General, Thriller, Supernatural, and Fable. Hey guys! For starters, I am also part of FanFiction, so if you're interested, my penname is octogirl. I LOVE to write. It's my passion, and I would love to become a fictional author. I am a huge animal lover as well. (Including bugs.) I am in love with the ocean, and would do just about anything to live near one. I like the heat. I'm pretty sure I'm part Kryptonian because I thrive in the sun and wish to hibernate when it's not out. XD I don't have an attitude problem. You have a problem with my attitude, and that's not my problem. I'm not clumsy. It's just the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies, and the walls get in the way. "I am a ninja." "No you're not." "Did you see me do that?" "Do what?" "Exactly." I'm not crazy, I'm just special. No, wait...maybe I'm crazy. One second...I have to talk to myself about this, hold on... Cleaning is just putting stuff in less obvious places. Sorry, I can't today. My sister's friend's mother's grandpa's brother's grandson's uncle's fish died. And yes, it was tragic. Be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn. Then always be a unicorn. If you fall, I will not catch you. Infact, I might hit you on the way down. -Beam You live, you have troubles, you die. (Job 14:1 paraphrased) If you watch Jaws backwards, it's actually a film about a shark that throws up so many people that they have to open a beach. Sharks aren't so bad...If a stranger entered my house wearing only a speedo, I would probably attack him too. "I am a nice shark. Not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food." -Bruce and the gang "Life doesn't give you seatbelts." -Lego Batman "Be careful. Don't die." -Minho (The most inspirational thing I've ever heard.) "You're overwhelmed. Freeze was underwhelmed. Why isn't anyone just whelmed?" -Robin (YJ) (Right?) Keep calm and feel the aster. -Inspired by Robin (YJ) "It's so fluffy!!!" -Agnes "Sometimes you wish for a unicorn, and life gives you a goat." -Gru "Puny god." -Hulk "There's only one God, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that." -Captain America "I am Groot." -Groot So, being a shark freak, I have to bring this up, even if it's just for awareness. One thing that's going on in our world that not many people know about is something called shark finning. It's where people catch sharks, cut all of their fins off (the dorsal, pectoral, and tale fins) while the shark is still alive, and then they throw the shark back into the ocean to bleed to death, or drown. Yes, sharks do drown because some of them need to keep swimming in order to breathe, but without fins they can't do that. People do this for shark fin soup, which is typically $100-$1,000. So it's pretty profitable, but just imagine the pain that those poor sharks are going through. Now I understand that not everybody cares that much for sharks, and I'll respect that. However shark finning organizations are literally doing overkill on this. About 73 million sharks are being killed for this every year. Most of the sharks that are on the endangered list are there because of shark finning. Can you imagine the unbalance of the ocean if sharks went extinct? If you take out the top predator in the ocean? Let's just say that the ocean would slowly start dying. Sounds ironic, but it's already started happening in some areas. So please, try to avoid products that include anything that has to do with sharks. And if you know of any place that sells shark fin soup, please don't be quiet about it. Shark finning is one of the most inhumane things that humans do, and it desperately needs to stop. |
