OOH. I may steal this meme.

GAH! I meant to post it on private, it wasn't finished yet! *dies* Anyway, fixed it, NOW I have twenty themes.

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

it's quite allright. ♥

17. Hope.
AHAHA WITH THE REST OF YOUR THEMES. ♥ though.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeeeeeeeey! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Hope is what makes all the rest of it bearable! ♥ It tends to come along with 20 (Friendship of the type that comes when you recognize someone as being you in a different skin) and 12 (Loyalty, misguided but real).

I know. It just amused me.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Pffft. You're just jealous of my totally depressing and way-too-dark themes. ^_~

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

No way, I like to make people laugh before I crush them.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

Good tactic! I prefer depressing them to the point that they kill themselves and save me the trouble of doing it. *lazy?*

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

I write much more than you and need to be sneaky?

[brownie-utonium.livejournal.com]

Your stories seems pretty similar to mine. Especially the child abuse. =P

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

To be fair, I don't write child abuse into the actual stories themselves. It's more about child abuse having occurred in the past and the effects that it had on the characters. >_

6. Child abuse.
6a. Evil clowns.

[fickle-goddess.livejournal.com]

For 6a, ONLY IN ONE FANDOM. Oh, wait, DC.

Fine, TWO FANDOMS. But only two :P

What's waiting for you in Savannah that keeps you sleepless? A confrontation with an aunt who always had unrealistic expectations of you? A girlfriend who just doesn't understand that love isn't always requited?

lol, I was talking to my Japanese friend and in my hurry I typed part of our chat into the comment box instead of the translation page.

Actually, it's only the plane's engine and whiny children that keeps me awake on the flight there. Thankfully I have no family in the South (although I do have a crazy Republican aunt, ugh) and the last girlfriend I had has fortunately decided to not talk to me (although this is the 3rd time she's said that, once can only hope.)

*ONE can only hope. >>
