So, I took an Initial Assessment and I have something to say about one of the questions asked, along with a bit of a rant! - With Love, from FireRain! · 3:14pm Jun 21st, 2018

Every year in college, it is required that everyone takes an initial assessment for their maths and English skills. It shows where you are at with your skills so that your new tutors for the next course you move onto know exactly what you are capable of.

Taking the English one first, I found that one of the questions was laughable in itself. It read,

Guess Who's In Need Of A Capable Editor? · 12:12am Mar 13th, 2016

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I am now in need of another editor that has proficiency in pointing out and correcting grammatical/syntax-related errors. If you want, you can also be of service to me in giving me tips on plot-development of soon-to-be-uploaded chapters and stories, and little things like that, etc.
If you're interested, contact me via PMing me on here. We can discuss in further detail there.

And a big hand, please, for the picture that made the Minister lose all faith in humanity less than a fortnight into the new year: · 8:06pm Jan 13th, 2016

Crank up the bull***t detector, guys and gals. I'm about to vomit.

Interesting opinion test:
"I think the world would be a better place if Adolf Hitler had never been born." - Not respected, as it disrespects Ol' Hitler's existence.
"I think every man should have his genitals placed in a blender and thereby ripped off." - Respected, as the men will be allowed to continue to exist.

What the Hell Is the Author Doing? · 5:30am Feb 13th, 2016

Um. Hi, guys! It's been a while (like a very long while) since I last made a blog post on anything. I've posted a few stories in the interim, but socially, I've been rather quiet. I'm not one to make my blog posts like a Twitter feed, but I figure that some of you would like an update on what's been going on with me.

Grammar Updates Again · 6:09am Jan 17th, 2017

Now that those are complete I'll focus on getting Chapter 6 Ready for "I have to say, I love you, in a song." and I know It's been a long time coming again my overall idea for this story was supposed to only last 10 chapters. I know some of you have been waiting a long time for this and I'm sorry for taking so long but Ideal case scenario right now would be be to see a close out of the story by the end of the year. I'll post to Tumblr when I get the new chapter up with a link and again that is

Grammer a Week 19: Short Answer Section · 7:07pm Apr 10th, 2016

This is Grammer a Week, the periodic blog program-thing where I soapbox about a grammar subject I find interesting. You might, too! This week's installment is a little different; as a sort of poor "apology" for not posting anything grammar-related for the last few weeks, here's a three-for-one! I'll be covering the predicate nominative, conjunctive adverb, and apostrophe use.

Neary through grammar fixes and revisions on the early chapters! So they're more readable, more detailed and well thought out, and just flow better I think! Just working on the last two chapters. Once those are done, it won't take me long to get chapter nine out as well. Very excited, and much happier with how it flows now than how it used to.

I'm having so much fun adding to the world that so many of you have worked to build together. I'm happy to be a part of this

I love being normal, I mean transphobic.
Math is also transpho-
Oh wait, I forgot, math is racist.

The Latinx Movement is dripping with "American" stupidity.

Black people can't do simple math? - Must be that math is systematically racist.
White people can't understand simple Spanish grammar? - Must be that Spanish is transphobic.
