About
About me:
In case anybody's wondering, my real name is actually Ares Tenno. And people give me crap about that fact ALL THE TIME. If they're not calling me God of War, they're calling me Technocyte Agent. (That would be referring to HAYDEN Tenno from Dark Sector, by the way.)
In all actuality, I'm just a computer nerd who sits in front of the screen pretty much all day writing stories or playing old computer games. What amazes me is that my skin tone hasn't completely blanched out because of the lack of sunlight. Thank god for small favors -- I can't stand Cullen skin.
I haven't read a great many deal of books, but there are some that I absolutely will not read, and Twilight would be on that list, but I'm not going to go out of my way to tear it, and the fans, imbecile and intelligent alike, apart just because I don't like a book written by an author who many people believe should burn for releasing Twilight unto the world.
Some more info about me:
I play computer games, but not the kind where multiple people can play, because I'm terrible at those, for one, and for another, I prefer to play alone than with throngs of other players who are tens of times better than I am, and who know it and love boasting about it to my face by tearing me down with whatever method they can think of to use to make my performance go from bad to horribly worse.
I also make pretty bad jokes -- if only to make it seem like I'm trying. Normally, I save my sense of humor for my sister, when she's looking at pictures of Twilight characters in ironic (or hilarious) poses, and I just have to say something to make fun of them. A long time ago, she tried to make me read Twilight and become a fan of it, and it even went as far as commanding me to read it, lest the wrath of the Volturi be invoked upon me. It didn't really work -- I'm incredibly hard to persuade, unless I'm having a gullible moment, or just don't care.
The stories I write about are usually anything of a mix between military affairs -- of which I know next to nothing -- and fantasy stories, the kind with big swords and advanced technology. Think futuristic steam punk meets Tetsuya Nomura.
My taste in literature is considered to be low grade to some of the more upper-class intellectual people, but I honestly don't care, seeings as I choose what I want to read, regardless of what other people say of it, because I enjoy it. It's not like I want to be somebody like Socrates or Einstein, that's out of my league, and they made names for themselves. I'm just another high school student. That's nothing to talk about.
Oh yes, and I did swear at the start of this. I do occasionally let fly the obscenities, but if I don't have to, I won't. Swearing like a pirate was fun for a while, until I realized all the people who were doing it knew how to do it better, or they could throw mud without it, and would laugh at my efforts. I gave up shortly after that realization. Not worth it if I never succeed.
This is probably becoming terribly long for those of you who don't have the time enough to read this whole thing, or who just don't want to. And I'll respect that, so I'll end this right here. If you wish to know anything else, just ask, I'll try to answer it.

Well now, we'll just have to fix that, won't we?
Things are going good where I live. How about you?
I don't have a problem with them advising constant revision and vigilance, but I feel like some of them are just faking it - and stringing others along with fake advice is about the same as leading them to slaughter. False hopes are the worst you can give someone - that's why flattery is bad. At the same time, brutal honesty can seriously hurt someone who isn't expecting it - in an uncontrolled environment like the net, it can be hard for kids not to take things too seriously.
Yeah - I was wondering that. Apparently, she can understand the general gist of things, but she couldn't understand me when I asked her just to give me some proof that she'd read my previous suggestions. She said "I don't get it" and then asked me what font size I liked and whether to send me the first draft or final. It pissed me off, because I wrote a half-page of advice and explanations to help her out and she just GAH! *shakes fist at noobs*
Some children are a miracle - they've progressed to high school and still can't read at an elementary level. And we think the world's bad today. *grumbles*
