        THANKS TO THE PEOPLE IN THE DISCUSSION FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE! AND I LOVE YOU MY FANS! :D

 

 

 #1 'My name is Mary Sue, and I have brown hair and blue eyes. I live in..." - Right now, I don't care.

                

#2 'BRRIIIING! BRRIIIING! My alarm clock buzzed annoyingly. 'Grrr' I said, and smashed it!' - I hear my alarm every morning - I don't want to hear it in your story.          

       

#3 'Who's that girl with the bangs that hide her eyes? That's me. Who's that girl who you avoid in the corridors? That's me.' - No wonder they avoid you; you're annoying as hell.

                 

 #4 Liek oh my gawd where was Stacia????? - Too much punctuation and such a horrible monologue!                   

#5 I was eating a pie and then I died which is pretty cool 'coz I'm just 5 years old - I can't even comment on that... O_O

                  

#6 Columbus, the Greek sailor walked to Baghdad - If this was in non-fiction, you'd be kicked out in two see

               

#7 God forbid you start your with  ‘I’m the type of girl... blah blah blah...’ it gets annoying

          

      

#8 a scary scene or a dream that can be confused as part of the story... they really confuse sometimes.

          

       

 #9. Taking up an entire chapter to write the lyrics of a song. (I've got an iPod and I know how to use it)

          

        

 #10. Dear Diary.... Today I met the guy of my dreams and guess what??? He's a werewolf and I'm his mate!!!!
