I'm Just A Ghost, Haunting My Own Life
(#) Moonshyne 2009-09-06
Hi Sas,
If Pete only knew the truth. If he could only hear Patrick's apology. I wonder how Pete's going to take it once they find out Patrick is gone?
Patrick seems so lost about everything that's going on, he really wants to make amends but right now has no way of doing it. It must be so frustrating.
I can't wait to hear the answer to his quesion.
Author's response
I think he'll be a bit surprised by the reply.
OMG I want to tell you all about it and I can't!!! Lol!!
Maybe I should just get on and write more! But there are only so many hours in the day and work takes up a big chunk of it and then there's sleeping! Don't get me started on sleeping - what an intrusion into my time that is! I mean, every single night for goodness sake!! Whose idea was that??? It's a major design flaw - once a week would be much better.
Anyhoo... rant over, climbing down off my box now.
Thanks for the review!! :D

ps - just wrote a song for the band. I've tried to write it so that seems to be about one thing, but the lyrics themselves actually claim to be about another. But in a nod to FOB, I've given it the overly long title: The Sub Text Is Often Overrated But The Text Is Always Overlooked
I'll see what the guys think!
Cheery pip!

That girl! (She sounds a bit like me minus the tan, haha.) Why did she turn him into a ghost? I wonder. Who is she?!
And poor Pete, I just want to give him a hug! Or better yet, to get Patrick back and for him to give Pete a hug :3
I'm dying to know what happens next. (no pun intended)Author's response
Really? That's cool! :D Whenever I introduce a female character, I always have them look nothing like me so that no one can say it's a MarySue or a self insert - I'm pale-ish with black hair, blue eyes and so far from 17 it's not even funny!
But of course, no one knows what I look like (unless they read this, of course) so the people that would might anyway! sigh I'm really off on one tonight aren't I? I've overdone the cherries again - cherry Actimel, cherry cordial and cherry ice cream! Loooooove cherries!
Anyway, to get back to the response -
She turned him into a ghost because he suggested that's how he felt so it's sort of a 'Really? Try it out then!'
Who is she? Sorry, can't say yet.
I wouldn't give Pete a hug just yet - he's soaking wet! But yes, he's in need of a hug. Maybe wait until he's got changed and dried his hair?
Thanks for the review! More soon!! :D

Bahahaha. I didn't know you could get cherry cordial, I'll have to look for it... What about ACTUAL cherries?!
I was in the mood for something sweet tonight, but having found nothing sweet in the house, I showered with a chocolate and vanilla shower cream and I keep smelling my arm. Not quite the same... but it'll do!
By the way - what IS a MarySue? I've seen it on the ratings page and just have no idea! (despite the fact it says 'we all know her'...) xAuthor's response
The best way to describe a MarySue is to give an example...
MarySue is better at everything than everyone. She sings better than Patrick, she's more hyper than Pete, she spins faster than Joe, plays drums better than Andy - even if she's never sat at a drum kit in her life (because a lot of people think drumming's that easy anyway!!!)!
Usually she has unusual coloured eyes - eg violet. Or, they actually change colour with her mood (what? doesn't everyone's?). She's often got some sort of power - like she's psychic or can sense danger. Perhaps she's an amazing singer or has healing properties of some description (ie she's a walking Panadol/Tylenol)
But most of all, above everything - she is the lead character and everyone else is 'also there' and the person who the writer fancies will fall suddenly and desperately in love with MarySue (even if he's married or whatever) even, or especially, if he's only just met her.
The guy version is a GaryStu.
The slightly less of a problem character is a self-insert where the author puts herself into the story. Usually with the same results, but without the powers, abilities and multicoloured eyes.
Always a good idea to keep a Kit Kat in the fridge! Yummmm!!
I LOVE cherries!!! I would push a granny out of the way for a bag of cherries!
Seriously - I've had a LOT of pseudonyms over the years and most have them have had something to do with cherries.
The cherry cordial is made by a company called Bottle Green - tis yummy! Took some along to band practice tonight and after tipping half a litre of it down I had SOOO much energy to play Teenagers and Dance Dance - you wouldn't believe!! Was I Bob? Was I Andy? Nah, not even close! But was great fun, nevertheless! Got 2 more days till the gig -sure it'll be fine!! :)
Anyhoo, so yeah, that's a MarySue
