Hello hello! I have made a story called Strange and Beautiful, with the sexy Cillian Murphy portraying a deadly character, named Corbin, with a dark past. I made a small website ecspecially for the story and so far I've got two chapters up, yipee! With chapter one I still need to add a little something, and chapter two is still in the making. The story is decorated with different pictures of Cillian and the girl he is going after, Gabriella. Gabriella is portrayed by my good role-playing buddy Alicia, while I portray Cillian's character. Anyhoo, below is the link, the story is only a click away. Please read the introduction section first before progressing into the story, or you'll be confused. I hope you enjoy reading Strange and Beautiful, and I hope that you'll become regular fans. Keep checking back for updates and PLEASE give me the pleasure in reading your comments, opinions, etc. etc. Thankyou bunches!  www.freewebs.com/strangeandbeautiful17/intro.htm |

Hehe thanks! -hugs- I'm glad that someone is finally reading and enjoying my story in progress. For a moment, I was getting a little worried there. I thought that no one was going to read it! lol

lol, nah, it just takes a while for people to respond, especially at night. Which is weird to me, because you would think that people would be on the forum more at night. *shrugs* |

-nods- yeah, I figured it would probably take a little while but I get slightly impatient at times. I'm excited to read what people think, I love pleasing my viewers! ;D
I'll always be on at night since I'm a night owl lol but when school starts back up I'll have to go to bed at a decent hour puke!

Ugh, just the thought of school makes me sick. The summer has gone by so quickly. *pouts* It's not fair!
Your story is amazing! I love how you had Cillian play a French teacher. It completely suits him. You're a fantastic writer. Your words are so detailed and everything. Have you ever considered pursuing a career in writing?

Lmao school makes me nauseous to! It does feel like the summer has just flew by. -sighs-  Hehe thanks for the compliment. -blushes- When I was looking at Cillian I was like "what job should he have at Averline Academy" and since he had black hair and all I was like "a french teacher!" lol. He looks like the type who would be romantic and speak french to woo the naive ladies. -evil cackle- I've been writing for a loooong time and I do enjoy it. I've thought about a writing career, and I've thought about an acting career. And I was like hey, why not try to do both? My imagination is wild and I'm such a day dreamer lol I also love to entertain people. So I would love to become an actress, and a writer and director for movies. It all ties in together quite nicely if you ask me. I'm good in english (unlike math) so that's a plus. My mom and dad have also told me I should do writing, and one of my friends said I should become a comedian lol. I can't wait to get out of high school and go to college to pursue both!  |

haha, it's good to have lots of options. I LOVE writing and my dream is to be an author when I grow up. My second option is a journalist. God, I hate math! I'm okay at it, but I'm better at writing. I don't care what the teachers say, I am never going to use math like calculus and that crap in my future. At least, not in my line of career. I am currently writing a fanfiction for Red Eye on my word processor, but I have writer's block right now. It sucks.  I always like to finish and perfect my stories first before I let other people read them. It's easier for me that way. Hopefully, my writer's block will clear up and I'll be able to post my story here or on another fanfiction site. As for you, keep on writing! ;D |

That is totally awesome! I think you should try and pursue both. I agree about the math stuff to. You only need the basics, and I only understand the basics. I am extremely horrible at math. Teachers are saying that I might have a learning disability, which makes me sound retarded, and suggest that I see this counsler at school. I refused, to much pride I guess. But who needs X's and Y's and all of that nonsense? You rarely, or never, use that useless crap. Math makes me so mad I could spit! lol Blah, writer's block is the root of all evil! -jabs with stick- I have to perfect my stories to before I let anyone read it. If I see a mistake I have to change it, or I'll break out in a rash lol. Well, whenever you get done with your story tell me so I can read it! ;D |

Thanks! Yeah, doing both would be cool. At first I was telling everyone that I wanted to be an author and that was it, but everybody was asking me where would I get the money to pay the bills if I was rejected or in the long process of writing a book. So that really surprised me, since I hadn't thought about that, so I decided a journalist should be my back-up plan. Then when I write a book or two and get rich I can quit my journalism job. lol. Well, one can only hope.  Ugh, learning disability? That's the worst phrase a teacher could ever say. I'm sure most of the teachers had loads of trouble with math too, so where do they get off in saying that? Alas, but it is their job. *sighs* I can understand the basics easily too, but the X and Y stuff drives me insane! I don't even bother showing my parents my math homework anymore because the last time I did they were like, " Since when did they start using letters?" ;D Today's math curriculum is so cruel. It makes me want to rip my hair out. About making the stories perfect before presenting them: I am exactly the same way. I always have to make it the best it can be before other people see them. I can't be one of those people who can just write so-so stuff and update chapters like, every half an hour. I just can't do it. You will be the first person to know when my story is finished. But... it might be a while.  |

In my career class my teacher said, "that's really wonderful that you want to become an actress, but you need a back up plan just in case that doesn't work out." I was like, "no kidding." If the actress thing doesn't work, I pray that it will though, I'll probably turn to writing. But acting would be such an experience! I would love to travel to different places, meet and work with new people, do action and all of that good stuff. With writing, you just sit there and write. It is fun, but I despise sitting. I don't want the everyday average job, BORING! I want to accomplish big goals, do things that people rarely get the chance to do. I want it all! lol ;D
Yeah, it is a pretty harsh word to use. It makes you sound like you're dumb or something. Whenever I need help in math, I always go to my dad. But there are times when he doesn't even understand it and says, "I can't believe that any kid could do this. They would have to be a genius!" What they do teach in math is absolutely ridiculous. All you need to know is how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Leave the other crap to construction workers, the people who want and need to use it.
I can't be one of those people either, who just slap something together then put it on display with a million errors. When people do that I just want to slap them! There stuff isn't even enjoyable to read whenever you're confused every five seconds and have to stop to examine the wounded sentence. It's no fun, why do those people even waste their time in writing? Totally beats me.
Well, a little update on the story. I completed Corbin's reply to Gabriella in chapter two, and it's up for everyone to see. Alicia said she would begin writing up Gabriella's piece tomorrow.
I feel sorry for Corbin -strokes- he's such a sad character with so many problems, overwhelmed by fear and pain from a dreadful past. But I want people to pity him, yet, hate him at the same time when he begins to abuse Gabriella.

Yeah, in this world, it's basically a must to have a back-up plan. I'm a shy person in public but really outgoing when people get to know me, so acting has never been a passion for me. It's great for you, though. I'm just way too modest. I totally agree about the math thing. I really wish they would tone it down. Man, I cannot stand people who write like that. I have come across a LOT of people in their fanfiction saying 'your' when they mean 'you're'. Before I used to tolerate it, but now just the sight of it really ticks me off, since I like to be advanced in English. So now most of the time I just stop reading their stories because if the person can't see the difference between 'your' and 'you're' then it probably isn't a good story. That is, of course, disregarding the writers who make an innocent typo or two. It's just the people who do it again and again that bugs me. Pretty soon I'm going to read chapter two of your story. But Corbin abuses Gabriella? I thought he was really fond of her. Explain? hehe, we both changed our signatures around the same time. See, we are obsessed with changing them! ;D |

I'm shy to, but I want to break myself of my shyness, step out and try new things. I'm starting to become more confident, but I still have a long way to go. I'm shy when I first meet people, but if I can make you laugh, then I feel totally comfortable lol. ;D You'll see why he begins to abuse her in chapter three. Corbin can get jealous very easily. He's extremely possesive of Gabriella. Also, his addiction to heroin and alcohol will start to wack him out. Corbin is fond of Gabriella, but he will begin to battle a lot of demons. I don't want to give to much away, you'll just have to wait and see. Daja vue!  We did change our signatures at the same time. Lol, freaky. Our minds are a lot alike. |

I've been shy my whole life, but since I'm going to be a sophomore this year, I'm trying to push myself out more and not be afraid to try new things. I have a long way to go as well. I'm probably going to join a photography club( it might be fun) and a tennis club. I LOVE tennis. As for Corbin, that's so sad. But thanks for not telling me any more than that, for I'm off to read about it. The temptation is much too hard to resist. Yeah, that signature changing thing is weird and cool at the same time. lol. I was getting tired of the one I had so I was like, well, why not change it now? I like yours. Jackson Rippner is the best. |
