SO IT'S HAPPENED!
That's right folks. You better believe it. My computer crashed.
Gone. Dead. Expired. Boom. DONE.
Aren't we happy that I saved everything? [I think I'm going to cry.]
So now I'm back on my ancient desktop computer. It hums very loudly and is from the 1990's. Updates will be much, much slower.
I've decided to answer your reviews even if I'm not updating right now. (Sorry about the A/N by the way! Normally I HATE doing them! But this was necessary…)
On a happier note – I went to a concert last night for this band that's from my state. They stopped touring for a while because of the horrible economy so they could focus on their jobs and families and such, and they had a reunion concert last night. It was amazingly epic. Honestly. I got elbowed in the boob, but it was worth it. Go look up Zox if you want to see a lead singer who's just high on life =]

imaginationandme – I'm actually REALLY thankful that I emailed it to myself. I was thinking, "Oh watch. The next time I turn the computer off it wont restart and then I'll loose EVERYTHING." So I was safe and saved it. I did get a chance to save all my school stuff too, but it was a close call. I probably would've cried if I lost it though. If I didn't have my school stuff, I definitely wouldn't graduate. Scary! And I'm glad you liked the chapter! I've been itching to post it for so long! I was imagining the entire scene in my head and trying to describe everything that was happening. They were so cute! Yet very realistic at the same time. I didn't want to make them seem too lovey-dovey and then loose themselves. Ella wouldn't be Ella if she didn't put up a LITTLE fight lol. And "Hearts are meant to be broken," OH GOSH! I don't want to break Dougie's fictional heart! That'll break my heart!! Lmao. Poor Dougs… Anyways, thank you!!!
Twisted Emotion – Ha, I loved that you're "dancing happily." That's wonderful! I hope no one sees you though. They'd think you were crazy and it'd be all my fault! Bummer lol. Ugh and "catastrophe" is an understatement! If I lost this story… Gosh… I'd freak! I just finished typing it all up (So yeah… story's finished!) and if I lost in RIGHT after I finished it… Ugh that'd be the worst day of my life! (Exaggeration, obviously… But you get the picture lol) I'm so upset that I lost my laptop though. It was a piece of junk but it was my piece of junk. =[ Oh well. I'll just start saving up for a new one. I'll get there in like… 10 years. Blah.
Random n' Proud – Dude, you've got NO idea just how happy I am that you're not dead. And that you like the story. And that you're not dead. Yeah! Lol. I can't believe you spent all that time reading it! That's precious time that you'll never get back! (Reference: Simon Amstell via Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Yay!) You flatter me. Honestly! I don't know WHY people choose to review this story! I mean, I'm not complaining but I'm just as shocked as you are! I feel like I need to pay you all. With cookies because I'm broke… But pay you all somehow! Annddd my school thingy. I got to a network of schools called "The Met." They're part of The Big Picture Network. (I'm not sure what that means. My teachers just tell me to say it whenever people ask.) It's pretty much made of awesome. I love it. SO MUCH! They've got schools all over the place. Across the states and in some European countries. It's pretty nifty. So lovely, I love you and I missed you and I'm glad that you're back. Don't scare me like that again, okay!?! I was about to call secret services to find your butt! Ha, that would've been funny…
Gnarly- - Haha, THANK YOU! I'm glad that you still enjoy it. I'm kind of nervous that at some point, I'm going to put up a chapter that NO one enjoys and then I'll loose all my lovely fanfiction friends. So I'm glad that it's still on the "good list" and I hope it remains that way. The thing that I'm worried the most about is Dougie… we've got some majorly devoted Doug Fans! I don't want to upset the swarms!! Lol. Thank you!!!
Alysmiley – I apologize for my well done torture! It's not a very good talent lol. I'm glad you liked it, so thank you! I was looking through the review pages to see if you reviewed chapter 20 and I couldn't find one (I'm not saying you had to! I'm just apologizing in case you did and I couldn't find it!!!) Sorry! I could be completely blind and miss it… I like to acknowledge everything that people say lol. So thank you! Sorry if I missed it! But otherwise it's fine!!!!!!!!
Ducky – I'll admit as well, romance novels are my guilty pleasure. People talk down about them all the time but how can someone deny the cute fluffiness and drama of a fictional love fest!?!?! I love it!! Lol. And sorry that I couldn't curb your curiosity with a new chapter today =[ I'm working on getting all the bugs out. BLAH!! (and I feel as though we're about to get into one of those "You rock," "No, YOU ROCK," "NO, YOU ROCK!" "NO YOU ROCK!!!!" Kind of debates. Just so you know. You rock =]) lmao.
Zabster95 – How could anyone not like Danny's smile!!! It's so freaking adorable! Like… like…. A cute puppy or a kitten or something! You just HAVE to love it!! That's impossible!! Ah… and 8th grade… Oh the memories of middle school… Blah, Junior High was the worst time of my life lol. High school is much, much better. Or at least for me it is. I hope you like it! Don't worry about it. They make it seem much more difficult than it actually is. You'll do great =]
Hollis2020 – I'm glad that all your "finallys" were answered. Family time, Danny/Ella time, cute Danny time, and love/hate relationship time. Wooh that's a lot to be waiting for! I'm glad I got it all out there for you lol. Hm… and long distance exam buddy… Has a ring to it, doesn't it? Technically I don't do examsbut this EVIL, EVIL, EVIL, thing called Gateway. I have to give an hour long presentation on EVERYTHING that I've learned to like… 20 random people and if I don't pass I don't go on to 11th grade. How terrifying is that!?!?! It basically RULES MY LIFE!!! I've already cried once! No lie! (And now my tummy hurts a bit… lmao) ANYWAY. I need to stop thinking about it. Thank you for the lovely review! =]
McFlYiNgHiGh – Dude, I look forward to answering your reviews almost as I enjoy updating. No joke! So it's no biggy that you like reading them almost as much as the story! That actually makes me happy lol. I like that you're enjoying everything! I was worried that people would get annoyed with these after awhile, but it seems pretty dang popular! Some people get really upset that they didn't get a response at the end and then I feel super guilty lol. It's a bit strange… And sorry I wasn't able to get a chapter up today. There are still about… seven left? Things are just a biitttt hectic! And you're going to Pennsylvania? I USED TO LIVE THERE!! I lived way down deep in the left hand corner (lmao that sounded so stupid!) in Pittsburgh. Home of Heinz Ketchup! Where are you going? Ah… I miss PA just a bit now… And I'm actually very thankful that you went from a silent reader to a full out major reviewer! I love hearing from you! And typing your username! Lol. It's quite fun! And I'm glad you liked the chapter. Getting a bit mushy, isn't it =] Aww… sweet romance. Le sigh…
TigerLilly1221 – So technically I don't know you're cousin. I was just looking at Tom's twitter page and I noticed that he said the whole "only geeks would get that" thing and I was like "Hm… I'm too much of a geek to pass this up." And I HAD to check out what he was referring to so I clicked it and yeah lol. That's my boring stalker story. I was geek enough to understand it =] I still can't believe Tom read Twilight and enjoyed it. All of my guy friends who've tried to read it stopped halfway and were like "this book is going to ruin relationships everywhere." Lmao. All because Edward is just too awesome. But I guess Tom is Edward like enough then. Just minus the fangs. =] AND I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HAPPY! SHE LIKES HIM! SHE REALLY, REALLY LIKES HIM!! Lol haha and you're "But jeez, Dougie's going to be pissed" made me laugh so hard! I don't know why either. It just made me spit my tea out =]
Younggryffindor – Is it horrible that I only just found out what the cabbage patch dance is? My little sister had to explain it to me lmao. It's quite cute, but looks too much like the snoopy dance. Oh wells =] AND YES! IT WAS THE SCENE! THE ONE THAT WE'VE ALLLLL BEEN WAITING FOR! Gosh, I was SO happy that I was posting it. 20 CHAPTERS LATER AND THEY FINALLY GOT TOGETHER. It didn't even feel that long… Wow… And technology can never, ever be trusted. Ever. I'm torn between stabbing my laptop and trying to resuscitate it. God damn these love/hate relationships! (Horrible pun. Please pretend that I never said that. Oh gosh…) And yes. You can definitely say that it was hot. Definitely. =]
