My skin doesn't fit, my words seem hollow. I feel like a fraud and that's a bitter pill to swallow.

01. I really need to change my layout. This is the most boring layout ever... literally. It was suppose to be temporary, but we all know how that goes. Three months pass and you're still no closer to a new one.

02. Cut for those who could care less...

01. Aww, thanks hun. You're sweet :)

02. Don't you just hate that? I've been pretty lucky approval-wise. Most of my wishlisters were approved for other people before I got into fanlistings or the fandom.

The only one that I've really wanted and been rejected for was Rory/Jess, which of course is my biggest numero uno wishlister. What makes me kick myself every day is that I'm pretty sure I got rejected just because I broke a rule. I used Blurred Photographs as my HTML example and, at the time, I was using a layout somebody else made. Then when the girl put it up for adoption, I emailed her with my app literally an hour after she gave it away. The only consolation is that it's owned by Angie, who I adore and she takes great care of the listing.

03. You know me, I have no self control. So I totally am lol.

Yeah, probably, which is what really annoys me about it. *kicks self*

Exactly what I was thinking! It'll probably be a while until I can get it up because my laptop won't let me cap DVDs and I want to wait until I get at least the majority of the episode caps done before opening it, but I am going to do it eventually :)

Hider! I love it every time you just pop up randomly and make my day a whole lot better. Seriously, just seeing that you posted again makes me feel better ♥

And I wanted to say that I'm terrible sorry that I've not updated almostbiblical for about half a year now, I think. I swear I was not only being lazy but I also was really busy with school. I hope it's okay because I don't want you to think I steal space from your host just to let it be. I'm thinking about re-doing the site in my spring break (next week), and I hope I'll be able to take more care of it thenceforward.

And I hope you get better soon hun. ♥ Bloody noses are cruel. I keep getting them for no reason every once in while, too.

You totally make my day in general, especially when you say things like that. *smooshes*

Oh please honey, don't even worry about it. I don't mind at all. Your GInger for God's sake! Please. As much as I would love to see Ginger!updates, don't ever worry about me taking your hosting away, okay? Not an issue. So silly, you are.

Mine can and go totally randomly. I'll get them all the time for weeks and then... nothing, for like months. SO RANDOM. And annoying lol.

02. Ugh. That's sort of how it is with Emily Browning and RPattz and all those people that are either cast for the movie or cast as the characters in the fan's minds. They act like they've known that actor since the birth of their career when they really haven't been following him/her for more than a few months because of some stupid movie that's coming out. I love Cam for his role as Volchok. I hope that whoever has that fanlisting isn't a Twilight fanatic who is only making one because he's James. I'm sorry you missed out on getting him. ;/

People seriously do that? I'm a fanlisting virgin; I thought there could be about twenty fanlistings on the same person. It sounds really selfish. Can't you make another fanlisting for the actor/character/episodes? Or is it first in, first served? If so, that's pretty ridiculous.

04. Feel better! I hate bloody noses, and it sounds horrible when you've got a nose ring. ;/

o2. I agree, and Volchok was such a great character. I think there was a lot more to him than what most people saw. In my mind, he was Ryan without the Cohens. A tad more destructive, true, but they were really similar people. I might still apply for the Volchok fanlisting since I couldn't get Cam's.

Sadly, no lol. There's only one fanlisting per subject but someone can own as many as they want. It's technically a first-come/first-serve basis for old subjects, but for newer ones, it's slightly different. Say a new character pops up on a show, they accept applications for three weeks before deciding on who should get it. It's not too horrible of a system and I've been pretty lucky so far. The only wishlisters I haven't gotten were ones that were approved way before I got into fanlistings or the fandom.

It's not too horrible or anything, just kind of... weird. Thankfully I only have a stud so it's not too bad lol.

2. Oh, I hear ya about the fanlisting bizniz. I hate those people who take up all those similar fanlistings just 'cause. Ugh. Although, I admit I did that with my favourite actor Aaron Stanford. I applied to make fanlistings for two movies that he starred in. But I suppose that's not very extreme, is it? But I genuinely liked those films, so. *shrug* Haha.

I hope, for your sake, that the Cam Gigandet fanlisting is made by someone who ACTUALLY knew him before Twilight and that it's not ugly. Oh how I hate those ugly ones ( ... )

o2. That's not extreme at all, plus you don't own the Aaron fanlisting either, do you? 'Cause that would make it even more different lol. And like you said, you genuinely liked those films.

I found out who got approved for it and, while I'm not thrilled, she's not a newbie so there's that. And I probably don't need that extra project anyway, since I'm trying to revamp all my current sites. You have way more dedication that men, I let school fall by the wayside way more than I should lol.

4. Thanks hun, I'll be fine :)
