Writing Websites
I mean, I've met mean people on Figment. This girl bitched me for not giving a good review to her friend's project once. But other than that, it's been fine.As for the whole 'closeted writers' thing, my family knows that that's what I want to do, they just don't really know that I currently do it.
Mod
I like showing my friends who are also writers. Because they get it.

Good question. Let me look it up. =P
Mod
NAH OF COURSE NOT. I WOULD NEVER WASTE TIME WRITING AND GOODREADING AND FIGMENTING FOR HOURS ON THE COMPUTER. xD

They don't even know I read about serial killers.
I. Kid. You. Not.
My mom's all like, "YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO READ ABOUT THEM THEY WILL SCAR YOU" and I'm thinking, "Okay, sorry I've already read like three books and numerous Wikipedia and other website articles."
Serial killers WILL scar you. Literally.
HA HA HA HA yeah.My mom is really overprotective. >.<
My parents don't care what I read. Except I had to go to another town to watch the movie to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, so my dad had to come (this was before they let me go to other towns with friends, which they have recently) and afterwards he was like...you read that book? That's probably not good.

Like I said, my mother is a human censor/firewall.

HACK HER. ;)
HAHA.My parents tend to care more about movies, like, if I'm actually seeing something happening rather than just reading it.
Not to get off topic by getting back on topic, but if you're a poet, you should DEFINITELY be on www.thepoetsanctuary.net It's an awesome website where you can post your poetry and get help from people who know poetry. I always post my poetry there first and see if anybody tells me to make any changes or anything before posting it anywhere. If you like reading poetry, you should go there, too, because there are very good poets on there! It's a great site!

Yeah, I think my parents are that way a little bit too.

My parents used to be a bit more like that too, I guess. Although not since I was like ... 10.
My mom has actually gotten stricter....
Mod
O.o Why?
Being able to drive is a good thing, because you get to do things without your parents, like watch/rent movies. Although this one time the guy gave me a lecture about how this movie was too mature for me to rent, and I think he thought I was like 14 or something, so I was like, Um...I'm 17...Which has literally nothing to do with what we were just talking about but you know how it goes.
Mod
Being able to drive has made my life so much more fun. Last night my friends and I went to the McDonald's parking lot like all the "cool" kids do in my town, but no one was there so we blasted music and danced like white Adventist girls in the parking lot. It was fantastic. xD
Yeah, that guys a douchebag.The 'cool' kids in Fort Scott go to Sonic, and that's what I did last night, but only for a bit, because everybody was in Louisburg at a basketball game.
And we waste like 70% of my gas tank just driving around.

Just tell them you're going somewhere and then drive.

Mod
But it allows so much more freedom! You can go places even if your parents are busy!
Mod
I'm worse: I sometimes forget that you can't just stop on red and then pull through without the light changing to green.

My driver's ed teacher was panicky and he would always slam on his brake when I still had plenty of room to decelerate. So annoying.
Mod

*cracks up*
Well, my Driver's Ed teacher asked me about my religion and got extremely offended and defensive when I told him we believe in going to church on Saturday. I was just thinking, "Dude, I'm not judging you, calm down! You're the one who asked!"
hahaha! religion can get people pretty riled up, huh? :)
anyone want an extra follower on figment? :)
Mod
Indeed, it can.

Wait, seriously? I felt like Inkpop was a much meaner place, I think because there was all that competition to get noticed by HarperCollins. There were nice people, sure, but there were also quite a lot of rude people. So far I haven't had anyone say anything mean to me on Figment... Ah, well. I feel like people from the two sites kind of hate each other, so it's weird that they're joining so suddenly.
