I'm more of a reader than a writer. I have an Eyeshield 21 fanfic in the making, but don't expect anything any time soon.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO ALL READERS!!

If anyone actually reads this; please please please please take this information with you. It makes me irate whenever I read it in stories.

There are 2 types of blood vessels in the body, arteries and veins. Arteries take oxegenated blood straight from the lungs to the rest of the body. Veins return 'de-oxygenated' blood back to the lungs. This circulation is controlled by the heart, which has a very strong beat that pulses the blood throughout the body.

Arterial blood has a pulse since it is coming straight from the heart.

Venous blood has diffused throughout tissues, and it loses it's pulse.

So, authors, keep in mind when you write your anatomy: A jugulor vein HAS NO PULSE!!

If I could make it bigger I would. The pulse in your characters neck is from the Carotid Artery. There's your anatomy lesson.

God if there is one thing that makes me so turned off reading something, it's that.

more rants

I always find it funny that characters get out of breath when they kiss. Unless they are both sick...-_-a

I guess that it adds to the romance and sexual tension and all that, but I just don't go along with that idea.

Why can't they just breath through their nose? Just always wondered that.

Why not one more

I've dealt with this ever since I started going to public forums waaaaay back in the day. People who are fans of anime, who watch enough of it with English subtitles will eventually learn like FOUR word or phrases in Japanese. Then it's really annoying when they add that into their everyday speaking. Most of the time it's used incorrectly. I just don't see the point. If you're story is in English, then it should remain in English. Don't add one word to make yourself seem more like a noob.

And speaking of, like, english. I know it's, like, the norm for little girls to, like, talk like this. but don't, like, bring it into your stories. it makes you, like, look like an idiot.

And NO CHAT/TEXT SPEAK!
