What annoys your characters and why?

[J]

List 2 or 3 of your characters in your current story or a recent story and tell the class what annoys them and why. :3

[Nicole]

I only have one right now: Collin Linsey. Whilst talking on the phone, he is constantly getting interrupted. He's not happy about it.

P.S. He is Ashe Whitaker's cousin for those of you that know The Appleton House.

[J]

Being interrupted is my biggest pet peeve, too, so I understand his pain.

[Ann]

A Dance With Fury

Emerald - That people judge her by her accent.

Blood - The fact that the taste, bitter, has the cheek to exist.

Vane - the fact that her father won't let her pursue a career as a stuffed animal alterer.

Yours? :]

[G.G.]

Alex (or Lutnalind Zhendar Xavelk) is annoyed by his lack of English vocabulary. He always has problems finding the right words. On top of it, he finds figure of speech very misleading.

[J]

oho, we got you to leak another character. :3 I suppose Nelly would be the opposite of Blood because she has that regard toward sweets.

The Scarlet Ribbon
Nelly is very annoyed by the footsteps of people wearing flip=flops. It drives her nuts. She's a sneakers and boots person.

Vladimir is annoyed with technology. He can't stand cell phones and computers. His mother raised him to abstain from technology.

Scarlet is annoyed that her former lover is happy with another girl. :3

[J]

@G.G. - Is English his second language or his native and just had difficulty learning it?

[Ann]

G.G That is my Viking:

"Omg, short shorts are actually SHORT shorts. I thought they were just repeating the word. Woah."


P.S I get flip flop rage.

[J]

haha. English is crazy. lol

I hate flip-flop sounds, too. Footsteps while wearing them sound so clumsy, clumsier than heels even.

[Susan]

Cam'ael: compulsive obsessive neat freak, can't stand disorder or filth.

Starling: Annoyed by scented candles and self help books.

[J]

A gal named Briannah from my old book hated strong scents, too. Her sense of smell's so sensitive. xD

I guess if Cam'ael cleans a lot and Starling visits, Starling can't stand the strong smells of Pine-sol or other cleaners.

[G.G.]

@Josh Alex comes from another planet. He has learned English to communicate with Earthlings. It's not his second language but rather is 58th one. :p

@ Bisky ahahah Great one! I never thought about that one, but I can imagine Alex would wonder about that too since he's got problems with expressions such as Out of the woods (no trees around!), all-dressed pizza (do you need to undress it before you eat it?), In the dark (Of course we're in the dark, it's night here!) etc. Gotta love playing with words. :)

[G.G.]

@Josh I understand the flip flop thing! It feels as if someone is too lazy to lift up their feet when they walk when I hear them.

[J]

@G.G. I couldn't imagine that many languages haha!

I know--it's as if feet are being dragged behind them. Plus that rush of hair that hits your sole every footstep. xD

[Ann]

G.G that is so cute :]

When VIking came to England to visit me for the first time, he hadnt actually used english in an english speaking enviroment.

we went to mcdonalds. In his language you say: Jag tar Hambergure.

Directly translated its I WILL TAKE YOUR HAMBURGER

so they all stared back at him in wonder and asked if he was actually going to pay for his food :p

[Ann]

I really think who ever wrote the script for Thor has had a Scandinavian family member lol

[J]

In America, sometimes we order that way. :3 haha

[Ann]

Where I come from you say 'May I have' or 'Can I please have' :p

[J]

I guess it varieds Sometimes I say "I will have/take your/the..." xD

[Ann]

Just so you know if you ever end up visiting my area of England ;]

Who am I kidding your an american you can get away with anything :p (which my friend found out when visiting :p)

[G.G.]

@ Bisky Of course they had someone from the Norse for the script since after all Thor, Lokki, Odin etc are all Norse deities.
That's why you always see Thor with a Viking hat ( with the little horns on it)

[Ann]

*scratches head*

the horned helmet didn't exsist :X

[G.G.]

What do you mean by didn.t exist?
I am referring to the old carton of Thor, but you are much too young for those!
(I hate replying on iPad!)

[Ann]

They didn't really have horned helmets in viking times :p

[G.G.]

Oh nm! it was not horns it was wings.

[Ann]

Total asterix :p

[J. David]

MISSING TIME

Kevin: annoyed by Brandon (his best friend)'s non stop comic book references.

Carl: an older man annoyed by what he perceives as the selfishness and stupidity of the younger generation.

Becca: has trust issues, and is generally annoyed by just about everyone around her.

[J]

Comic book references. I like that. :3

I actually heard on the news last winter that younger generations are more narcissistic, so Carl's perception may be very accurate. :3

Becca must have a short fuse, huh?

[Kamil]

Roland : He's mostly annoyed by those that refuse to learn how to read, because they are kinda going against the law. And Roland might've been a street-rat but he's kinda a law-respecting guy. he's also annoyed by those that waste food and water, there's no shortage of it, and he hates the arroganse of some members of the nobilty.

Freya : She's annoyed by the fact she doesn't have an aptitude for fire-type magic. She's really irritated by the fact she's tiny. But what grinds her stones the most, is the fact she overheard Roland while he was flirting with The Duke's daughter. Not knowing he was trying to get a hunting permit (it takes a permit to hunt the mountain boar) and not knowing about her own feelings 'thus not being able to explain why she's so irritated, she's really annoyed

[Ann]

@James just the names of your characters make me want to read your book lol

[Ann]

Well done! :D

[Carl]

I always list characters' pet peeves whether they get into a story or not.

[Ann]

Its a good excuse to be a grump :p

[J]

@Kamil - I don't like wasting food either, but sometimes I waste a little because I get a sick feeling.. *slaps myself*

I guess she can't tell him why she's irritated because then she would have to admit a secret of hers. :3

@Jennifer - I can relate to Cam when talking to someone you like. D8 lol

[J. David]

That's one way of putting it. Becca is very anti-social, she drops she f-bomb in nearly every sentence lol
