Just because I know it pleases Yami so:

Yami, in response to a comment of mine in her journal:

You're still an asshole with nothing better to do; like everyone else you seem to associate yourself with.

You and your ilk complain I am immature, yet I don't go around stalking you or anyone else on Serebii that has annoyed, offended or irked me.

And while I do rant at friends sometimes about how stupid, belittling or down right creepy this is, as you aren't the first idiot to do this and now I realize, you're not going to be the last bandwagon idiot for 'lets group together like a cult and hate Yami'.

So all I can really do I guess is accept the fact that there are such anal retarded idiots that spew lulz in such a way as they come off as no better than the people they try and act higher then.

And you still admit you basically made an LJ just to dramawhore and dramamonger with others, over an internet forum- and over one person.

I see a real bright future for you. Really.

She then banned me from replying. Awww, Yami, that's no fair. I give you the option to comment in mine, after all. *makes a sadface*

I aim to make Yami feel special, though, so I just had to make a stalkery post about it. *nodnod*

Diddy:

I also thought it was hilarious to make my Psychology teacher think I need "professional help", it was so easy.

I had her pointlessly worrying about me.

All in time Grasshopper.

I find it easiest to watch people, learn what they are. Like this one girl in college. She was proud of herself, in the past, she was a wreck, bulemia, anorexia, drank etc. but now she was a lot better, healthy. Pride is all well and good, but I thought she was one peg too high, she made friends with people less attractive and socially apt than her, which basically made her the most socially accepted person in that group at any one time. It was a few days before the end of college and we were talking in a group (this was about the only time I'd done so properly with her) to cut things short I tactfully moved the conversation to where I wanted it then I began telling people how good I was at picking out self-held flaws. I focused on her, and really got to her, she left and the guys in the group told me that no one has been able to do that before, gaining me muchos kudos.

I smiled my cheshire cat smile and graciously bowed out.

Shame really, she was a nice girl.

-

There was another one like that. Deluded herself into thinking that she was attractive because the guys she hung around had only seen women through computer monitor glass or thick foliage.

Not worth the bother though.

College was awesome for people watching. Where I stayed on breaks, it was called the "Mezzanine" or mez for short. Mainly because the people that hung around there were social outcasts or idiots who just were idiotic and annoying.

I...have no words. I always thought Diddy was an idiot, but this kind of stuff just... Gah, I don't even know what to say. Somehow he thinks being an ass makes him cool? I know this is a view widely held on the internet - the harder you troll, the more people will respect you, or something - but what he's describing here is just so moronic.

Yes, even Serebii occasionally manages to surprise me. *makes a face*

I would blame it on Yami, but even she's not this much of a bitch. I think. : P

This Llama is amazed. One day back and Yami already manages to confuse me and piss me off. It's quite impressive.

To be honest this is rushed, flat and there's no editing from the first posting, to this. You have grammar errors, mostly with tenses, past/present or using completed words or doing more than what would be a sterotypical non native speaker, speaking/narrating the whole book.

Please someone explain to me what she's trying to say here? Because as a 'non-native speaker', I'm really curious. Though what kind of stereotypical non-native speakers there are, I don't know. The idiotic, bumbling one with the tense problems? Oh, I don't know.

btw hypocritical bans from hypocritical people, is still hypocritical.

And her signature still makes me laugh.

Hmmm.

You would think that if someone continues to declare that they 'don't care about you people, OMG!1' they wouldn't then mention said people every opportunity they got and in completely unrelated places. (Even if they hide it so wonderfully by comparing them to animals continuously.)

Or is my logic slipping here?

(PS: Hi, Yami! This peabrain still loves you, I swear!)

Because seeing as Yami is whining about me ranting about her in my personal journal, I just had to make her happy and post about it again. Here, I'll even put it in bold for you!

Yami commented on a post of mine! CHEER!

It was truly splendid.

Here be the link.

For those too lazy to go check it out themselves, I'll just copy and paste under this fancy cut.

( Hmmm, interesting. )

Who needs movies when you have Yami? ^^

Oh, punctuation, you wound my heart.

Zephyr Flare:

For speech what you should be doing is this:

"Hello there, sir! I am George!" the taller man shouted with glee as he fell into a bow and thrusted hand ready for a shake.
"Greetings then, Mr. George! I am Bob myself, how do you do?" Exclaims the shorter of the pair, swiftly taking the hand and shaking in greeting.

If even a fanfiction mod can't get it right...

Also, I find it suspicious that she used an exclamation point and question mark, because it means she got out of having to use that darned comma. (Which would have been a much better explanation, too. Though, granted, I think she was going for how to properly stack dialogue, not punctuate, but it still FAILs. (See what I did there??)

Yami Ryu:

Oh dear. An attempt to burn me? Because I happened to point out you failed to critique in any helpful way no matter how bad? And attempt to claim you can be nice when infact all you did was bash, belittle and harm a newbie spriter more than help.

Alright, whatever floats you're Failboat, Bert.

Source.

Is Yami trying to make me die laughing? Because the irony of her telling someone - especially about sprites, because that's where she gets even nastier than in fanfiction - that they're bashing, belittling and harming a newbie spriter is just...*dies a little inside*

Also, 'you're Failboat'? Yami.

It's so nice of her to try so hard.

Yami Ryu:

So yes if you're gonna say one thing and mean something completely different, I do suggest you get your story straight Niedude, you almost hurt a writer here, not helped :)

Source.

OMG, the irony... So, basically Yami is saying niedude - who did a poor job at phrasing that sentence, granted - hurt a writer by not being helpful. Even though Yami's basic method of reviewing consists of yelling, comparing something to Twilight - which isn't a compliment, of course - and telling people they fail. Because that is so very helpful.\

"Hey, go read this jumbled thread of information and make sure you don't FAIL/suck/write like Stephanie Meyer/or react to me in any way other than praise, because that would mean you don't want to improve. Ta!"

Methinks Yami doesn't have the right to judge other people on how helpful they are.

~

Let's not even mention her 'row' with Dragonfree. (Though it's a decidedly one-sided row, because Yami seems to hate her guts while Dragonfree doesn't seem to care either way.)

Yami Ryu:

You and Psychic Reviewing are tbh events of the century!!! since it seems you both do it so rarely.

Yes, because Sandra reviews every other day. In fact, I'd say their reviews outclass Sandra's by a mile. Which isn't to say Sandra has to review like that, because I think expecting mods to review often is stupid, but comparing them in that way is, well, ridiculous.

And yes Dragonfree, you do hate me, or atleast, I hate you. Because to be honest, you backed and supported an attack that was done out of spite, malice, discontent, hatred and just plain petty feelings, on a friend of mine. And you supported people claiming said friend of mine favors me.

She probably did that because Sandra, I don't know, favours you.


And from what I've seen strangely it feels like, people have been either causing Sandra to ditch me as her friend, or cause me to ditch her.

So, basically, Sandra and Yami's relationship is falling apart? O_O

I don't actually hate Yami. I find her annoying, childish and almost impossible to deal with in a mature manner, but I do wish she'd grow up already. *sigh*

I wrote a short guide on punctuating dialogue a while ago and was asked about it again recently. Since there are more accomplished writers than me on my flist, I would love some comments and suggestions on how to improve. I'm still a bit unsure about certain rules, so clarification on things I did wrong in this guide would be awesome.

( Punctuating Speech. )

Opinions?

Why am I on holiday - to Italy, and it was awesome, thanks - just when Yami gets banned? Now I need to read all the emails I missed the last three weeks, deal with all the missed LJ entries, tour Serebii, and laugh myself silly at Yami's misfortune. (Because I'm evil like that.) How am I supposed to deal with all that?!

Damnit, people!
