Make fun of my old writing.

[Elliott]

I HAVE NEVER READ A JAMES PATTERSON BOOK. I do not think I ever will based on the amount of hate he gets in this group.

They're just limping parent followers. >.< Grr to them. Are you and your old best friend doing alright, though? Or is he still kind of... bleh-ish?

Saaame here. Or cleaning. Or doing my giant Math project. But I don't have school tomorrow so yay!

You guys hate JP? o_o
I only liked the first three books of the M-Ride series. Then when the fourth book come out, it all went downhill . . . don't get me started on the Witch and Wizard series . . .

I've heard he doesn't even write his own stuff anymore, as much as just come up with the plot. That's the name that gets in smaller font than his at the bottom of the cover, then. Anyways, his writing is just BAD. I rolled my eyes Sooooooooooo often at the Max Ride books, and I refuse to finish the series.

I'm pretty sure there are only two librarians at my town's library. And the one in the adult part doesn't seem like he has a personality.

Aah, I want to work in a library. OH I EMAILED THAT LADY. SHE EMAILED ME BACK AND I MAY BE GOING TO SOME SORT OF MEETING ON FRIDAY. AND I MAY GET TO HELP RESEARCH THINGS.

I was pretty much the same way in elementary school. Everyone thought I was weird... I only had one friend really, and even she thought I was weird half the time. *sigh* I didn't really have friends until middle school. lol.

I liked the first two books or so. The third was alright, but it started to get kind of weird. Once it got to book four, the series just became utterly terrible.

Elementary school kids are so mean and exclusive! Everyone says it's high school that sucks, but I'm loving high school so much more than elementary. It might just be my school, but everyone is so much cooler now that we're older.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Yeah, I agree. I feel like being "weird" is less acceptable when you're younger. I think it's also that there are more people in high school (at least, that was the case for me) so you get to meet the weird kids from all the other schools. lol.

[Elliott]

*nods* I think so too. Like... little kids just want to fit in and be cool and popular. And then when you get to high school a lot of people tend to forget about all of that because they want to have a good time and make memories with friends and all of that.

Unfortunately (well, sometimes it's good)... I'm with basically the same people I've been with since Kindergarten. But I love them most of the time, so.

Ha... I've pretty much lost touch with the few people I hung out with in elementary school. But I'm still close friends with some people from middle school. :)

A big explosion of sad? D: What happened? WAIT. Was that the whole evil kid with a stapler thing?

UGH 5th grade was an awful year for me. I got made fun of all the time and didn't have many friends at all and I would spend recess reading books because I didn't really have anyone to hang out with except for my one good friend Sarah, but she'd get mad at me for stupid things and ignore me. 5th and 6th grade were not fun friend years for me.

*nods* That's pretty cool that you're still close with middle school friends.

All my actual friends from elementary (I had three close friends) have moved away or went to public school. But I'm close friends with some of my casual elementary school friends and a lot of the jerks who used to make my life miserable! :P

Yes, yes it is cool. Although I've also lost a lot of middle school friends ... mostly ones who ended up with intense depression/family issues and I just kinda grew distant from them. :/

[Elliott]

Ah, okay. I wasn't sure if that was you or someone you had told me about.

GRR THAT REALLY SUCKS.
People are mean and stupid and lame and boo.
OH MY GOSH I HATE STUPID TEACHERS.
In 7th grade my teacher didn't understand anything about technical English even though she was amazing at creative writing, so my friend Addison and I had to literally teach her what the lesson was about.

Your mom is nice. I begged and begged my mom to let me switch schools but she refused. I mean, I'm glad now because I love my friends, but I hated it back then.

Awh, that's sad. :/ Growing apart from people is never fun.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Yeah, it sucks. But oh well. I'm still glad I have the friends I have now. <3

[Elliott]

Indeed! And then I found the internet and now I have TONS of friends. Even if most of them are people I haven't actually met IRL. Pssh, whatevs.

[Elliott]

Shhhh.

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

But someday we'll look back at this and see how we wrote comments when we were this age!

[Mandy]

Yeah! Even reading comments from a year or two ago is weird. =P

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

I flinch at the comments I read two years ago.
I don't understand why anybody every thought it was okay to talk to me.

[Elliott]

Mandy wrote: "Yeah! Even reading comments from a year or two ago is weird. =P"

I agree. Because it was you, but... not you. Because you're a different person now and stuff.

[Mandy]

Yah. But it's hard to pin exactly how I've changed.

[Elliott]

I still use a ridiculous amount of smiley faces.

[tesni]

The main difference between now and when I joined two years ago is that I used to actually stay on topic O__o

[Elliott]

Staying on topic? What is that? :O

[tesni]

Lav [lately I've been feeling] wrote: "Staying on topic? What is that? :O"

Gosh, I honestly can't tell you any more O__o It has been lost to me in the mists of time.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

I first joined Goodreads four years ago, and LOLOLOL I was so dumb. My comments/reviews from back then are just cringe-worthy. Like, I didn't spell out words or capitalize or punctuate or anything. Plus my taste in books used to be pretty awful. >_<

[Elliott]

When I first joined GR, I didn't talk to anyone online and when I started to talk to people, I was super paranoid that everyone was some sort of evil stalker.

[Elliott]

Abby became After Abby and while the basic plot is the same, a lot of the characters got reworked because they were extremely flat. I'm still thinking about finishing it eventually, because I like my characters now and the plot is decent, but it's a tad bit cliche. Abby gets Lyme disease and dies at the end. It's great. I actually have 40,328 words in the first draft (which never got quite finished because I started rewriting it before it was done.) But yeah.
Cross My Heart- That's what the melodramatic scene I posted in here was from. Never working on that again. It was cliche, melodramatic, and required WAY too much research.
Remember Me- Aah, I actually really like that story and the plot and the writing in that is pretty good too. I might start working on that again someday. It was extremely angsty though. It was about a girl with an abusive boyfriend.
Outlaw- Heh, I wrote about ten pages of that and gave up. I'm not good with the whole poem style book thing.

[Elliott]

Bahaha, yeah! I remember that. I had wanted to invite you to this group when I found out you were a writer but then I went all possessive and was like NO THIS IZ MY GROUP NOT HOLDENZ GIT OUT but then you found it and it all worked out. xD I was just a tad bit more sane in JoCo Teens back then and I wanted to have friends in the area.

I ENJOY YOU BEING HERE NOW.

[Elliott]

As long as you don't decide to shun me because I enjoy extreme literature nostalgia, stabbing people, and spamming people with hedgehogs. Although if you were going to shun me, you probably would've done so a LONG time ago.

[Elliott]

It's in the Undigested Lumps topic. xD You just find a punch of hedgehog pictures online and the post them in rapid succession!

When I was in second grade, I wrote this weird story about two girls named Annabelle and Josie who started second grade with a mean girl named Gwendolyn (except I spelt it Gwendilin =P). They bought a puppy.
...it was interesting.

That reminds me... I wrote this story in fourth grade called "Fred the Meanie" where there was this kid named Fred ... and then he pushed this other boy down a hole. And then the boy found a dog in the hole. And then the dog bit Fred and he had to get stitches. The end. Oh, and it was only like a paragraph long.

[Elliott]

Fred the Meanie? xD

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

I may still have it on my computer... *checks* OH WHY YES I DO.

Once there was a mean boy named Fred. One day when he was walking around a tree, pretending it was a person and thinking of a way to insult it, he saw a tiny little boy. He ran up to him and dared him to go down a nearby really deep, really dark hole. He didn’t wait for the little boy to say anything; he just pushed him down the hole; and a few minutes later the little boy came up with a lost dog he had found. When Fred tried to pet her, she bit him so hard he had to go to the hospital and get stiches and he had a scar there for the rest of his life, and the tiny little boy went home happy with his new dog; and he and his dog lived happily☺ ever after.

☺ The End☺

I like how I used all the smiley faces....
