Edit 4/3/2017 - It's been pointed out to me that in some of my pokemon fics, I've been ignoring some ... biological pokemon traits, I suppose you could call them. I do this because I am trying to flesh out the pokemon world, and some of those traits are just plain stupid in a real world situation, like how nidorina can't breed, how wailord and skitty can breed together, hitmonchan being a male only pokemon, and so on. If you feel the need to point this out, then just be aware that I generally have very good reasons for any traits I choose to ignore, and be prepared to debate why you think I should keep said trait. Heads up, I have a Bachelor in Biology and I'm not afraid to use it :) Or if you are just curious, or don't feel like having the mental stimulation at the time, feel free to ask me why.

Edit 11/9/2016 - Dear Mister or Miss or Mrs Anonymous Reviewer (yes, you know who you are, no, I don't), or any other anonymous reviewers in the future: I love the fact that you are reviewing my stuff. I wish to discuss this fact with you, and what you liked and if there was anything you didn't like. But I can't. Because you are anonymous. Insert pathetic sobbing here.

So, I guess I should write something here.

Let's see...I grew up in England, which was fine until I moved to Canada, then I wasn't so fond of England anymore. Not because England sucked, I don't have a problem with England, it's just that Canada has all these deer, elk, caribou, moose, black bears, grizzley bears, buffalo, wolves, and cougars running all over the place, seals, sealions, humpback whales, orcas, dolphins, porpoises, and 7 types of salmon swimming all over the place, and more birds than I can count. Though, England does have a lot of birds, but I wasn't into birds when I lived there. The other day I went salmon fishing for the first time and caught a 19lb and a 21lb chinook salmon, and there's no way England can match that. On the other hand, we still have cities pumping raw sewage into the ocean, so no, I'm not delusional to think that this place is perfect.

I have a Bachelor in Biology, not that it's done me any good with regards to getting a job, because there are very few entry level jobs and lots of people wanting them, so I work in a hotel instead.

I like dogs. Like, dog shaped dogs, not over-sized yappy rats or inbred monstrosities, but dogs. Cats are okay too, but snakes are absolutely adorable and I want one. Wild animals are great too, which is a good thing because my walk down the road to work keeps getting interrupted by black bears chilling on the road.

Oh, and I sew clothes a lot, I've made almost all of my clothes, excluding my work clothes, because they are boring coloured and occasionally get splashed with cleaning products and I'm not about to spend the hours at my sewing machine, just for stuff to get bleach spots. I've also started making rugs out of old t-shirts, which is loads of fun!

And I swear I'm loads of fun to be around, but I've recently discovered that I'm good at writing depressing stuff and, well, I like to mess with people, so that's whats with all the depressing fics I've got. Speaking of fics, don't read Escape to Something-or-whatever-it's-called, I wrote that one after about a six or seven year break from any kind of writing and it shows.

That's probably it...wait, no it's not. You are about 100 times more likely to be killed by a bee than a shark, so ignore all the hype about shark attacks and stop the hate on them! Annually, they only kill something like half a dozen people world wide. That is TINY. They are NOT a threat to us, especially when you consider how many people other people kill. Just think how many people cars kill in a single hour, and you'll realize how idiotic all this hating on sharks is. Humans are not on the menu for sharks. The sharks that get blamed for the attacks, the great whites and the bulls, they like seals. Why do they like seals? 'Cause they are one big tube of fat with fins and a tail; humans don't have nearly the fat content to satisfy a shark appetite.

One last thing about sharks, and then I'm done. When someone gets attacked by a wild animal, it is automatically assumed that they ignored the all warning signs from the animal and provoked the attack, apart from maybe jellyfish, or something. Yet, for sharks, it's assumed to be the other way around, that it's all the shark's fault. Picture this, a shark is cruising around, a couple feet below the water's surface, as they do for most of their lives, minding his own business, maybe looking for a seal, or a large fish if it's still a young one. Suddenly, some human bumbles around and slams into him, and he bites them and swims off on his way. Whose fault is this? If it was a bear, or a cougar, we'd say it was the human's fault, therefore I must blame the human, not the shark.

Copy and paste this entire rant to your profile if you believe that shark attacks are provoked, and not random acts of violence by a vicious monster.
