I finally feel back to normal…or about as normal as I get.
I say that because I’ve had a very wet weekend. And don’t think I mean anything perverted…well, not yet anyway. I think I’ll try to work on that ‘mature’ story I mentioned a few journals ago (I may want some professional opinions: Abby, big puppy stuart?)
But I digress,
I went scuba diving on Friday, but don’t think it was really extravagant or anything, it was only in a really deep pool for scuba training. I’m to ‘young’ to be certified just yet.
I’m not really, but according to my mother I am.
I made it to the bottom of the pool and chilled there for a while, since I had my respirator. Breathing through that thing is weird, but I would totally recommend scuba diving to everyone here on FA.
And yesterday I went fishing with my uncle and cousin. As usual my cousin and I got in some kind of argument (he’s the same age as Tubbycub, now that I think about it) and we ended up taking each other over the edge of the boat.
I made a very big splash there too. And a fish tried to eat my ear.
I bit back, but I kind of forgot about the whole ‘needing oxygen to breathe’ thing. And I kind of sank again, this time without the respirator.
But I swam back up, no problem.

Anyway, this Friday I have a really big competition in FBLA (future business leaders of America) and its going to last all weekend. It’s in Atlanta this year, and my roommate is this a-hole senior. But he is going to use his id to get me and some of the other sophomores into some wicked clubs!
So…picture this pudgy wolf gone wild!
But I’ll only be on that trip for the weekend. Then Spring break starts!

And instead of getting a whole week of spring break laziness, I get two days. On Wednesday that next week I have to go for my science fair competition in Athens for 4 days.
I don’t know who my roommate will be at that hotel, but I hope we get along. Three nights and four days with whoever it is will be murder if we don't.
So everyone wish me luck, I really-really want to win this time!

Maybe I really am a perfectionist… but even if I am it dosent really matter.
I did get a nice weekend of relaxing (and playing) in the waters of Georgia before I have to go on trips.
But…

Ugh! I swear my fur is going to be matted for a week!!! I don’t think I’d be able to get dry if you stuck me on the sun!
I smell like the stupid ocean!
And I didn’t even get to eat any fish!!!
Sigh…Oh well, can anyone spare a towel? Never mind…
*Shakes fur and whole body around, with water flying and fat flopping everywhere*
Hope no one saw that…

hey. I want to apologize for venting my stupid issues on here. i know every one says its ok and good to vent, but most of the time i'm to scared to do it.
I was kind of out of my elemet yesterday, after...well you know. but last night we talked the whole thing over. We talked alot.
My friend, i'll say 'Annes' so the pronous wont get confusing, and i have dated on and off for a while now. and each time has been nasty and i usually end up hurt. I know it dosent exactly sound manly to be in a situation like this...
anyway, she still dosent know that i'm bi, or that i'm a furry. so those are like the only secrets i have from her. and it bugs her that i wont say them. But 'annes' got really mad when a girl i met over summer vacation thought she was pregnant, and was trying to ask me to help raise it since the birth father is some a-hole thats 4 years older than all of me and my cavalcade (yep, all of this at age 16)
And i havent got up the nerve yet to tell either of them that they wont see me for two years (the college i mentioned)
and to top that off, a boy that i liked as a friend is starting to say he's falling for me.
Sounds like a soap opera, right?
*sobbing, while trying to smile*
i never mean to be in situations like this, but it always just happens. I guess i sound like a total idiot though.
well...not a complete idiot.
Report cards came out this morning, and here are my results:

Adv. Algebra II- A+
French- A+
Adv. Chemistry- A+
Health (as in healthcare training to work in hospital)- A+
Adv. American Lit- A-
Computer Programing- A-
AP World History- B+

that was something to cheer me up, since i am a nerd. but what really cheered me up was seeing the comments and mesasages i got. Thak you to everyone on here. espically abby, Tubbycub, Cassie, Big Puppy stuart, and anyone else i've forgotten. I think i will leave that last journal up.
as a reminder that i have some really good friends, that arent tied up in my life 'o' drama.
*still sobs, but the smile is real*

just forget that last post. i'd delete it if i could.
i guess i just lost it for a second. sorry.

she did it. she finally said the wost thing to me. granted, i snapped and said something pretty horrible...partly involving when i die.
yeah, i'm pretty emo when i want to be. she was complaining and yelling at me over another friend that thought she was pregnant, and asked me for help when she thought she was going to have the baby.
this situation just keeps stressing me out. I have so many gray hairs that people just assume i dyed part of my hair.
But i cant believe she said it. But I'm rambling, the she is the girl that i have been in love with since middle school, i wont say her name here though.
we got into a fairly violent verbal fight. and long story short, im left here trying as hard as i can not to bawl my eyes out right now.
the it that she siad was that she didnt care where i went or what i did, just to go away. And thats the rated g version of our conversation.
maybe love just isn't meant for me. maybe i'm just that pathetic underdog no one likes...
i really need a hug right now

Happy St. Patty’s day! I’m wearing green somewhere. You just can’t see it right now. But don’t worry, one more shamrock shaped cake and these pants will burst enough for you to see it! Oh and since I don’t drink (too young, plus I don’t really want to) go enjoy that extra beer for me!!! (And for my fellow furs to young to drink as well, have a shamrock cake! Seriously, those things are frickin’ delicious!)

im in my english class right now...i'm doing my work, the mouse just conviently cliked on the internet icon, and my books repeadetly fell on the key board to type in "furaffinity" so weird, right?

Anyway, i need a break from school sooooo bad! and i'm getting it this week, in my 3rd period we (my class and i) got our permission forms to go scuba diving on friday! (its in a pool, my new shool may let us go to an actual ocean, but my current school is super cheap. mainly when it comes to academics. the football team conviently got new jerseys last week. suspicious...?)
but i have to get going. i think i might start doing journals once a day, since things are winding down a little before we get test month next month. EOCT's, PSAT's, SAT's, and the list goes on, and on, and...i made myself sad.

i jus realized how much room that last journal took up, so i'm fixing that with a short one.
It was just a questionaire i got from tubbycub, but its nothing that isnt easy to figure ot already

YOURSELF
1. What is your name? Marx Gannel (if you want my name-name, ask me later)
3. Are you male or female? male
4. How old are you? 17...well, technically 16. I dont turn 17 until october this year, but 17 is just like the ultimate rockstar age!
5. What is the month/day you were born? October 20th
6. Where do you live? I wont say where i live-live, but my school (where my dorm is) is in Cochran, Georgia.
7. What are your interests/hobbies? I love to read (espically all of the classics), and write, and eat, play video games (no one on earth can smoke me when it comes to tactics in the Persona series), and i'm a total chemistry and algebra wiz kid. Which is good because my double major is in bilogy and chemistry.
8. What talents do you have? Ever since elementry school when i told the teacher she was wrong about something (i was right, but now i see i was being a know it all prick) i've been known as my town's resident brainiac, so i am really good at academic stuff, just not history. Despite my curent weight, i am a decent skater, even though i rarley skate anymore (skate board bans...stupid adults), i can write, and i am a quick reader.
9. How would you describe your personality? kind of a 1 in a million and at the same time 1 in...a smaller number. Until you get to know me, i kind of blend in with the crowd, but get me around the right people (furs in this case) and i'm a live wire that cant be stopped! Despite my brainpower, i am alomst always ditzy though. Tripping on stuff, forgetting alot, that kind of stuff. I can be a major nerd most times, or the cool dude, or the shoulder to cry on. i guess i just have alot of masks that i can wear.
10. Is your living space furry-themed? Not really, it is just my style as it hits me. I see a poster in spencers or fye, i like it, and i end up getting it. I can sew, so i do make a bunch of pin ups and juk for my bedroom and soon dorm.
11. What kind of music do you like? I love rock music in general. Classic is sweet, but i'm mostly a punk and alternitive kind of wolf. Part of the reason i come off as emo to alot of people. but i technically am...oh nevermind.
12. What do you do to relax/wind down? i usually read, or just go in my oom and listen to my mp3 player for a few hours. and i tnd to do that alot, since hormones are kicking in more so than usualy (moodiness)
13. Do you draw/write/make furry things? I do write alot, before my fat fur stories i was already working on a seris called "Carlile manor" since i was in the 8th grade. The main part of book 2 focused on a boy with the ability to become a wolf. it sounds like animorphs, i know, but its a little to complex to explain in a furvey. but i only write, the only draing i do is doodles in my note books...and on my desks...and everyhere else.
14. Do you have a website or is your work posted anywhere? Only my stories here on Fa, but i do have alot of blogs. I know, i'm a stereotypical teenager.

BEING FURRY
15. What is/are your species? Wolf, with a bit of dalmatian (because of the spots)
16. Describe yourself (e.g. height, weight, build, color, markings, scars/tattoos/etc., clothing preferences, etc.) I'm (and this is desribing marx) I'm aout 6'2. weigh about 305 most of the time, but definatley always has a layer of soft pudge. Despite being totally lame at sports, i have the build of a tubby football player. The fur, dont touch, is a dull gray covered by large blotches of midnight black, with one blotch over my eye (the avatar i have now dosen't fit, but i'll get one soon) i always dress kind of grune meets punk rock, but if not like that i'm in my uniform of a white shirt, brown pants, black penny loafers, and my blue blazer decked out in metal cains and stuff.
17. How does furriness influence your lifestyle, personality, emotions, or thoughts? well, it doesnt really influence me because it is me. Marx is me, and i am marx. as weird as that sounds. Marx is just giving my personality a different name, and adding some fur. I know that i am a furry, but being a furry dosent really infulence me, if thats what the question is asking.
18. Was your furriness evident from a young age? I guess, i grew up with little bear, pooh, and richard scarry (no idea how i remember that) and i did alway love when teachers (and i mean like pree k up until 1st grade) let me and my class dress up as animals and play. i mean like the masks and stuff, not suits or anything. though i was some animal on my fist few halloweens...until i found out what zombies were.
19. How, and when, did you realize your furriness? I'd been into gaining since development started for me, and i had just come to terms with it like in my 7th grade year (3 years ago), and when i stated to find pictures and other people online into the same stuff, i went in deeper and found out about furries. And found out i was into that too. So add two years, a few months of thought, and you now have this peppy wolf.
20. How much control do you have over your furriness? Does it have negative side effects, has it ever manifested itself involuntarily? I said before, Marx is me, so my behavior dosent change at all around my friends or anything. I always had the tendencey to growl, and ive always been peppy like i am. well, not alays, but ill explain that later
21. What do you like most/least about being furry now? I love being able to be 100% honest to myself and others like me.
22. Do you think that your (human) body resembles, in any way, an animal? My body shape, for the most part. and how i walk sometimes gives off this weird primal sence, or so my annoying best friend says.
23. Do you think that your personality resembles that of any animal/furry? Yes, I act like a wolf most of the time, espically when i'm moody. Being solitary (and i know wolves say in packs, i mean the ones that do stray) and brooding at the moon. Then i can turn around and be like a dog, and be ready to play and run (metaphorically, i hate physical activity) and love. I'm complex like that.
24. What kind of furry interests/hobbies do you have? Uh, i dont really know. aside from haning out on FA. I mean i might go to a comference thingy when i'm older, but until then staying on FA is my main furry activity.
25. Are you ashamed/proud of being furry? I love feeling furry, but not proud enough to boast it to surroundig friends or family.
26. Have you ever worried about your 'furriness'? Well, yes, but I don’t think too much about it.
27. Did you ever think you were childish/weird/confused? Yep, about the gainer thing first, then the furry thing, and now i'm wondering if im gay, bi, or straight. but as for childish, of coures, im a kid. and for weird, i've always said: normalicy is overrated
28. Have you ever had a (non-sexual) furry dream? Yeah, it was how i decided Who i was. sounds kind of cliche though.
29. Do you have (non-sexual) furry fantasies? Constantly.
30. How do you enjoy/express your furriness? Meeting other furs online, and hoping for one in reality. i'm actually starting to think one of my teachers is a furry, but i cant just come out and ask.
31. Do you wear 'furry' clothes or fursuits? No, but i do wear this red choker that looks like a collar all the...well i used to wear it all the time.
32. Do you collect miscellaneous furry items? No, but i do have anime related plushes. I love my akamaru plush...shut up.
33. Has a major event in your life ever been affected by your furriness, or had a furry theme? (e.g. wedding) No, not yet anyway.
34. Do you think you are furry for a reason? If so, why? I think...that i have no idea. i like tobelive in destiny, but as much of a pain as it is, i can only move one day at a time. If i am a furry for some cosmic reason, then i am blissfully unaware.
35. What factors influence your furriness? All of the animal books i've read, all the furry characters (only because i cant remember how to spell that a word for it) ive either seen on tv or read about, and the fact that nature and peace kind of mellow me out

BEING 'TRULY' FURRY
36. Would you become an animal/furry (assuming you could change back), given the chance? Yes, i'd probally give it some thought just to be dramatic, but yes.
37. Would you become an animal/furry (assuming you could NOT change back), given the chance? I'd give this one some serious thought, but would stil say yes
38. Would you worry about being shunned by society/friends/family if you became 'truly' furry? Not really, i've been shunned for alot of things. And through that, found out who was really in my corner, so if i ever dropped the F bomb, i'd no that i'd find out who was still there.
39. Would you (giving the chance) live in a furry-only world? Yeah, easily. Yes! as long as i can still be myself, then yes!
40. Describe your furry alter ego. I have no alter ego. This “player” is me, how many times do i have to say this?

OTHER PEOPLE
41. How do you act furry in public/in private/with friends (furry and non-furry friends)? No one knows i'm a furry yet, so i dont know.
42. Do you worry about people knowing about your furriness? For now, yes.
43. Are there people (non-furries) who are tolerant of your furry lifestyle? If so, how do they support you? Nobody knows, so I can’t say anyone supports me except for my friends on FA
44. Are there people who are intolerant of your furry lifestyle? If so, how do you cope with them? Okay, i am not repeating myself again.
45. Is/Are your Significant Other(s) furry? No signifigant other as of yet, but searching for that perfect girl...or what may be the realy case..guy

FURRY MEDIA
46. Who are your favorite furry characters (e.g. Mickey Mouse, Chester Ringtail, Amy Squirrel, Sonic, etc.) I like them all, but my favorites are Simba, and Sly Cooper, and Zoroi (i probaly didnt spell it right, but its a japanese kids series)
47. What type of fury artwork do you enjoy viewing/collecting? (romantic, manga, goth, cyber/sci-fi, cutesy/toony, photomorphs/realistic, mythological, action, humorous, etc.) I like all of it, just not so much on the mythological part. but it depends really.
48. What type of furry literature do you enjoy reading? (romantic, adventure, cyber/sci-fi, humorous/parody, etc.) I like any type of reading. I am a writer, so I need to read others works in order to learn how to become a truly good writer. that and work from whatever can inspire me.
49. What are your favorite furry films/cartoons? I like the Lion King, Jungle book, Disney's Robin Hood, and a whole lot of other junk. Hey, i grew up with it!

51. What are your favorite furry comic books? I don’t know.
52. What are your favorite furry comic strips? Hands down, Garfield.
53. What types of furry media do you create? (art, stories, music, etc.) I'm a writer.
54. Who are your favorite furry artists? Fanimal, raccoondrew, bigwolf, doncass, uh...the list goes on, and my hands kind of hurt from typing
55. Who are your favorite furry writers? uh...published i love Gregory maguirer's thrid book a lion among men, but i love the styles of Lupine (wolfgonewide) because he is like my hero, and my new friend tubbycub
56. Who are your favorite furry musicians? I know obsession is unhealthy, but...I LOVE FALL OUT BOY'S MUSIC! OMG!

PLUSHIES
57. What types of plushies do you own? (species, size, color, etc. If you have a menagerie of plushies, then you don't need to list them ALL.) all of my plushies are memorbilea (my spelling sucks) of my favorite animes. Like akamaru from naruto (dog), and my wol'f reign plush, and messanger bag. oh and i have a bear...thats an even longer story. and i have alot of puppy plushes from when i was little and wanted a dog, and couldnt have one (apartment) but most of those ae in storage.

63. Do you wear your fursuits in public? (conventions, parades, etc.) If so, is it because it's your job or from fursonal choice? I don’t have a fursuit, and I probably wouldn’t wear it in public anyway.
64. Describe your favorite/ideal "furry" appearance. (e.g. wearing animal-themed clothes, fursuits, tail, collars, etc.) The way i normally dress. i doubt that i'd wear a fur suit anyway. only because i sweat like a pig.

RELIGION/SPIRITUALITY
65. Have you ever communicated with an animal spirit? (e.g. animal guardian, the spirit of a living animal, the spirit of a deceased pet, etc.) No, but i have taken up meditation of sorts, so if i am more at peace it is possible.
66. Do you believe you were an animal in a former life? no idea, but last year my friends and i went to a forture teller at the fair (for laughs) and she said i was somekind of aristocrat in my past life. go fig, because i can even stand dressing up in collared shirts.
67. Do you believe you have an animal soul? Someone once said we all have an animal spirit...i still se mine as being a wolf. see earlier questions for my reason.

There is a park in my town that is filled to the brim with animals, i think i've known most of them since i was little. I even remember that there was a tiger born like the day after one of my birthday parties there. I dont know how old she is now though...i should visit.
84. Do you read books/magazines/etc. about animal spiritualism and other furry lifestyle topics? No, because i keep saying i do not know!
85. Have you ever communicated with an animal via telepathy/empathy? No, but that would be so cool!

i've een home sick latley, and i unfortunately have to go back to school tomorrow. Which totally sucks.
Not so much the going back part (even though it does suck) it's the facing my friends for 2 more months before i leave them for good. I didnt mention? My new school basically up roots me into a new life.
But dont worry, i chose this. thats why i dont want to have to say my goodbyes and admit i need a new start. especially from one person in particular...but thats another story.

So anyway, i've got alot of stories to work on.
1. My 'thank you' story for tubbycub, for being my first bud here on FA

3. My trade for Rocalus
4. My trade for DonCass
5. After School II
6. Let them eat cake
7. Heavy (and for future refrence, this one is very very 'mature')

and...i think that about sums it up.

I GOT IN! I GOT IN! I GOT IN!
Thats right, come fall the Georgia Academy of Aviation, Mathematics, Engineering, and Science (wow, thats a mouthfull) will have to get ready for this peppy wolf!
Techinally, ill be a college student two years early!
You heard me , a high school junior with college freshman status! This is so totally major!
I know its early, but i've already started picking out junk for my dorm!
oh.
The only part that might be a hassle is that i have to share a bathroom with 3 other guys, and a bedroom with one. Well, that might not be bad. Depending on what they're like. And for the record, they'll be my age too. this school is specifically for braniac highschoolers and decent college goers. But my d.a. (my dorm advisor. ive met him already, so i can say i might complain about him) is supposed to be a senior or something.
I am glad that i did make the cut for the 2009 fall freshmen, but why do i feel so crappy all of a sudden...

I need to get more practice writing so go ahead and ask me to write storys or poems for you! Yes You!
I know going y my first two stories, i'm not that great a writer, but i promise i am gettting better in leaps and bounds! SO i will be doing free comission, or whatever you call it, for anyone who asks.
But in honesty, i would really like to trade for art.
I cant draw at all, and i was hoping someone could give drawing me a go so i could have a realistic avatar (the one i have is just filler basically) and be involved in the FA comunity.
So for you furs that can draw, i'd really love to propose trades of any kind! But that does not exempt you from getting free works. So just ask and i'm ready...
truth be told...i really need to keep my mind busy fo the next few months...but thats a completely different story.
Just be sure to ask me or message me with any requests or ideas!

I wont be able to get to a computer for a while (like 3 weeks) so i'm putting up some info to fill the time gap. That, and i have nothing to do right now.

I’ve decided to make “after school” into a series. Since I’m in school, and I write this stuff after school (occasionally during, but that’s a risky venture). Anyhow, get set for a prequel, parts three and beyond, a few side stories of summer vacation exploits, and who knows what else. Like for example, if you haven’t figured it out, Wobble brand economy foodstuffs inc. is one of Marx’s (my, well you get it) summer jobs. (If you don’t get it, read Hazardous Waist)
So if you think you’ve got a character with the guts to attend Ferndale, and I literally mean the guts, then just message me. I’m not a credit hog, so I will of course give you due recognition. And when I say send in a character (or submit yourself) I mean any character, I’m getting better at writing and I want a challenge! No matter the age or orientation, Ferndale is the ideal furry academy. Please fill out the following form-

Ferndale Academy for Young and Talented Furs

I hate school. I’m smart, I’m good at it, and I make strait As, but I hate it so very very much! Maybe its because being myself there comes at such a high cost. Or just because I hate it. Oh well. I should probably stop using this site to complain about school…but I don’t see that actually happening. Sorry.
My week of detention was lame, nothing but wax on and wax off. I felt like I was in the karate kid. And got over excited and scared one of my friends with the whole crane thing.
Yes, I did the crane thing in school. Well technically after.
But when I’m in my own world…well lets just say it’s nice for me and kind of weird for people who do not know me.
Anyway, I finally finished book 3 in “the wicked years” and I gotta recommend book 3 to all my favorite furries. It called “A Lion Among Men”. But to get to book 3, you have to read the first two.
First off, the wicked years are this really cool retelling of The wizard of oz from everyone else’s point of view. Because Dorothy totally sucks. (Apologies to all Dorothy fans or people who played Dorothy in school plays)
Book 1 “Wicked: The life and times of the wicked witch of the west” is obviously told from the witches point of view, and surprisingly she’s a lot better than the movie and book played her out to be. Her name is Elphaba in this retelling, so all you fellow bookworms need to figure out why she’s named that. I wont tell you unless you at least guess!
Book 2 “Son of a Witch” tells the story of the witch’s son, Liir. And all that he went through after his mother’s death, and into his adulthood. It starts out kind of dull, but it’s really easy to get into. Trust me, the twist is something that’s kind of my style.
And Book 3 “A Lion Among Men” tells it from the point of the cowardly lion (whose name is actually Brrr, like the first syllable in Berserk).
He starts out, helps in a murder, gets rich, gets fat, gets forced out of human society, goes to the wild, falls in love, something happens to his love, he moves on, finds a way to get rich again, gets even fatter, falls on his face, and gets mixed up in the already killer central plot. And this is excluding the trip with Dorothy.
Don’t worry, I’m not giving away to much, trust me you’ll get it when you read it.
So read!
Oh, and read my stories too please. (Hazardous waist has been posted, check it out! And get ready for “Let Them Eat Cake” and “After School II: Love Me Not”)

I have detention all this week! (everyone go aww) and its all because i forgot to read my chemistry chapter.
I'm normally good at chemistry, but i kinda forgot that NaOH (sodium hydroxide for anyone who cares) is really really basic. and flammale. very very flammable.
no one got hurt (thank god) but the cover where we have to do all of the mixing and junk is totally demolished.
anyway...no classes in the chem lab for a few weeks. and i'm stuck on dish duty (washing beakers and junk) for a while. my teacher is using me as an example..."read your chapters or you will end up on fire"
I showed her by getting 100 on my last test! then she showed me the detention slip.
Teachers hate me.
But anyway, i got 140 views on "After school", and for my choppy first story....i'm so proud!
*sobs hysterically*
but i do want to appologize if i used anyone (fanimal, sergie, denglah, etc.) without 'proper' permission.
I promise i'll ask before i make anyone a teacher or something in my stories. Just like i promise i'll read my chapters before i go into a lab. (i'm getting good experience)
But I do want to write alot more so get ready for "Hazardous Waist" next sunday, that one is 100% original.
Look me up on sundays peoplre (furs) and please leave comments, even if they only say how choppy my wrtiting is i want them! i'm open to any kind of critsism, ideas, or anyhting, so comment and message pretty please! Heck, even comment on this journal...Do you think my week of detention is fair or should it be more (less, please say less)
but i digress,

have a rockin' day (night) and...huh. i can't think of anything to say.

The suject is exactly what i mean. School is one of the worst places to have to spend 7 hours!
I am ood at academics, espically math and algebra. But my teacher is pure evil! I have almost a perfect score in her class but she goes bererk on me!
She actually hits me! With Erasers! Granted, it might help if i actually stayed awake and didn't make old jokes every 20 minutes or so... but that's besides the point!

But school's not all bad. i did win 1s place in my local science fair this weekend! (Yay for me) If you wanna know what my project was, please requst it. because i dont think putting my lab report on this website would make anyone happy.


But i digress (warning: i tend to say that alot), after making my first post today, i got the urge to fill out my profile a little bit more. That way i can formally and honestly introduce myself as: Marx the wolf/dalmatin mix that has a flare for the reading, writing, and eating. Mostly eating.
I'm on this site for a number of resons: to express myself innew ways, have more fun, and to see where I stand on...certain things...if you get what i mean.

And if you wanna find out more about me and my stupid life, cause i wanna find out more and meet everyone on this site, therefore making some stong friendships, then mesage me throuh FA, and dont get mad if i dont answer right away (because i probably want to) it's beause i can oly et to a decen compuer on sundays (my only day i'm NOT doing school crap)

Look out for my next story "HAzardous waist" i promise it will be awsome. See you next week!
