I've already asked Mom multiple times, and she says I have to get over my fear by myself, if she walks me to the library I'll never get over my fear she says.

I guess it make sense but you are her daughter and she should make sure you are okay. Maybe she could watch you from the home until you pass the dogs? But I still think she should at least walk you to the library.
I won't even be able to go to the library on Monday anyway, Mom says she doesn't have enough money to pay for my late fee, which was the whole reason I was going to go. But I have to get more books because what else am I going to do, and I can't get more until I pay my late fee..
That's a shame! Well maybe you could now people's lawn? Have a baking sale? Make lemonade? XD Just spouting out ideas how you can earn more money!
Everyone else in my neighborhood is poor as dirt, they wouldn't have enough money to buy anything I make, and we already get our lawns mowed by someone else.

Hmrf. Hey! You can volunteer at the library or work there! ^.^
I actually really wanted to since they always say that's a good way to pay off your fines, but every time I ask they say they have no volunteer spots available, nor are they hiring.
Well is there anything you can offer them that they don't have now? Like depending on how good you are with kids, you can read the children stories. Or do something fun with the teens like how to write fanfic and such.
We already have all kinds of programs like that, I can't think of anything else they'd want. I can try to ask, but they'll probably say no. I mean, last month they had a childrens' program that specifically taught children the history, culture, and language of Uzbekistan. I can't top that!
You'd be surprised. . . maybe you can offer a lecture on the history you enjoy talking about.
I suppose so, but to do a program like that you'd have to be a teacher or some sort of prominent student, and I'm none of those. Currently anyway.
Grrrr. Why don't you ask if, "Name's Elizabeth and I would like do to this:(whatever you plan to do) for the library. Can I get pained for my services?" OR, you can be a janitor of a electrian.
Like I said I can try, but I don't really think the library would want random people doing programs for them, especially for money. Plus they don't have a janitor or electrician spot open, but I'd be a terrible electrician anyway. Plus I did volunteer for a job a while back just for fun, and I filled out the application they gave me and everything, turned it in on time, and a few weeks later I asked them why I didn't get a response and they said they had no volunteer positions open at that time even though they gave me that paper to fill out??
WHAT?!?! *marches over to your library* They're nuts! Why bother giving out volunteer forms if they won't be even hiring! People these days! *sighs* I'm sorry. This is probably what you don't want right now. Well is there anywhere else you can think of where you could get a. Job or at the least volunteer?
I'll try filling out a volunteer form again since I'm a legal adult now and I wasn't when I did before, but I'm worried they'll still say no.And I've tried getting jobs at other places, ones that were really desperate for people, and they still didn't want me...
THOSE PEOPLE MUST HAVE A REAL BIG PROBLEM IF GHEY DON'T WANT TO HIRE YOU!!! *throws up hands in the air* People! McDonalds maybe? They ALWAYS need help. The customer service is fairly poor and so they could really use some new people.
Mom keeps suggesting McDonald's for me, but I'm not sure if I want to work there.
Yup! If you don't want to work there, don't work there! Otherwise, you won't enjoy it and it will reflect on how well you do your work.What are the things you enjoy the most?
Well aside from anime/manga and reading and writing and history obviously, I also like swimming and doll collecting.
Badda bing, badda boom! Be a swimming instructor or give tips on what dolls to collect if you're particularly looking for one!
I think I'm the only doll collector in town haha. Reminds me of that one person who went to college here and they didn't have the diploma he wanted, so he created his own diploma and got a Doctorate in it. He now has a Doctorate degree in crossword puzzles.
*shakes you* Go find a job you enjoy! Perhaps become a seamstress for doll clothes and sell them on etsy?
I can't sew though! The only talent I have that I can charge for is writing, but I don't think people would actually pay money to have me write fanfics for them.
THEN DO THAT!!!! Give out tips for young writers at your library. I haven't read your fanfics so I can't say if people would want to read them or not but why don't you just try? Try and see if people WILL pay your for fanfics
Well I've been told they're good but I could only write them for specific fandoms I'm in.
Maybe you could go around other communities and ask if they would like to purchase your fanfics. It has been done before.
You mean like other towns?
Like I said, I can always try. I feel like maybe GoodReads would be a good place to start.
Righteo! There are TONS of readers and writers and various other people that I'm sure will enjoy your fanfic. Speaking of which, have you posted some already?
Not on this site, all the ones I've done are on Fanfiction.net, to various degrees of quality. Obviously my most recent ones are the best ones.
Wait, can you even charge people ok hoodreads to read your stories? I thought that was an option but I don't know any more. . .Oh really? Have you written some other fanfics other than Bleach?
I could charge them for me to write one of one of their fandoms. I've also written fanfics for Hetalia, Sailor Moon, Black Butler, Godzilla, and Ever After High. I also have a bunch more planned for lots of other fandoms I'm in, like I'm going to write fanfics for some books I really like.
Ever After High too? O_O That would be fairly interesting for me. As well as Sailor Moon. ;-) What? Like Red Queen?
I was actually thinking of doing stuff for things like Divergent, The Selection, Hunger Games, Dear America, etc. I know they're not really obscure fandoms, but I have good ideas for fanfics from them. I don't really have an idea for a Red Queen fanfic other to create a Silver princess for Mare to befriend, as I think that should've happened in the first book.
Oooo. I think it would so very nice if you wrote a Hinger Games or Selection fanfic. You can rarely find good ones so it would be interesting to see if you write from either of those two book seriesI didn't reD through the first one and am hesitant to do so. It was very boring at first so I'm hoping that later on, it won't be the case
My Hunger Games idea originally came from a contest a long time ago where the goal was to design a victor from each of the twelve districts, and Mom suggested I make a female victor from District 9, since the books describe District 9 being where we live currently, the Midwest. I thought it was an interesting idea and even though I didn't win, I wanted to write a fanfic about that girl winning the Hunger Games, since it's said District 9 hadn't won in years. Well they must've had a victor at one point, right? As for The Selection it'll probably be about a princess holding her own Selection like the spinoff series, but I'm still not entirely sure how to go about that.
You should read Red Queen! I mean, I didn't like it at all, but I'm obviously in the minority, and I at least thought the idea for it was really interesting. I'm reading the third one now and it's actually not even half-bad!
Man, it's been a. While since I've read the Hunger Games. Because I can't remember anything! XDOooo. And what if she doesn't fall for the prince and she wins? That would be intriguing to read. And all they become is nothing more than friends
Hehe. I will, that's if there aren't a ton of holds on it!
Have you read Heartless by Marissa Meyer?
Maybe I could do something like that, haha. No but I realllllly want to! It's always checked out at my library, but maybe since the hype for it died down I'll finally be able to get a copy.
Hehe. You should probably move here because I now have Heartless on my hold shelf. XD Then perhaps I could let you borrow it. ;-) The best thing to do is: wait. XD
All I do is wait haha
*waiting waiting* I think what you have is contagious. -_- XDHave you watched the DC Legends of Tomorrow show?
No, I'm not a fan of DC.
Shame, shame. No Marvel either then then?
I like a few Marvel things, but overall I'm not a huge fan of comics.
Haha, me neither. Though watching brain numbing shows is a good way to pass by time. XD But watching stuff like Mission Impossible (60s version) as well as Hawaii 5-0 (also 60s) are great shows. Along with Columbo.Alright, I should really go to sleep now. Sweet dreams Elizabeth!
I prefer 1990's shows in terms of older shows, stuff Mom saw when she was a teenager. Awww, good night!
What, like Animaniacs, 21 Jumpstreet, or perhaps Saved by the Bell?
