I am disheartened by my lack of updating this, so I am leaving you with an interesting little thingy I did in a chatroom once to quell a not so recent case of writer's block. When all was said and done, I laughed... hopefully you will too. *please note AA is me of course, and I talk to myself too much* this has been edited for your reviewing pleasure...

AmandaApathy I hate you Z... you are fucking me up... that is NOT enough to fill up a 2000 word chapter you ASSHOLE!!

AmandaApathy I can't make the entire damn ting outta fillers!

AmandaApathy You and your bitchy self are fucking me up!

AmandaApathy alright...

AmandaApathy what can I do to prolong that.. stretch it out....

AmandaApathy ...

AmandaApathy a lot...

AmandaApathy *glares at Z*

AmandaApathy at least I have a new view of the character... doing him in the room is a lot different than doing him on paper....

AmandaApathy k....

AmandaApathy 5...4...3...2...

Jada_Kat 1?

AmandaApathy I'm trying to calm down... somebody's... *loudly to the shadowy figure luring in the corner* PISSED ME OFF!!!

Jada_Kat .. uhhuh

Z now I can add you to the long list of people who don't want me around! Maybe I should just listen to Mooseboy and get that laser! I bet you'd like me a lot better if I was to pull that trigger...

AmandaApathy NOOO!

AmandaApathy seee? that's the problem here...

AmandaApathy I'm trying to prolong... not cut short... you don't die till ch 14...

Z so this is premeditated murder... you piss me off... and then you tell me to go kill myself... but not until you say so? You're no worse than Mooseboy! Fook!

AmandaApathy (I love arguing with myself)

AmandaApathy Hey... you don't stay dead! I'm bringing you back a few chapters later!

z what? no absolution? I'm gonna be a fucking slave for the rest of my existence?

AmandaApathy I didn't say that!

AmandaApathy besides... mooseboy and pork will be GONE!

Z really?

AmandaApathy yeah.. then there's that whole think with mr. Scolex and the... WAIT! you're not supposed to know these things!

Z FUCK YOU Mr. BEAR YOU SPEAK LIES!!! LIIIIIEEEEESSSS!!!!!

AmandaApathy ...

AmandaApathy that's not u...

Z what?

AmandaApathy you didn't say that... the character you were based on did.... so you can't use it just like that... it has to be changed up first....

Z what?!

Z I can't even SAY that I want to?!

*Z is glaring at lizzy... spooky

AmandaApathy No...

AmandaApathy *Z is going for the concealed weapon, eye twitching(I luv eye twitchy) "What exactly 'can' I do?"

Parallax Oops!

Parallax Your answer, $3.67, is off by $0.01.

Parallax WELL FUCK YOU MR. BEAR@!

Z wait... he can say it.. but I can't?!

AmandaApathy ...

AmandaApathy I take no responsibility for anything he does...

AmandaApathy NOTHING!

Z and I can't take responsibility for the stuff I do?

AmandaApathy Do you really want to take the responsibility for extricating that guy's gall bladder?

Z when did I....

AmandaApathy that was his gall bladder... NOT kidney... you were kinda off...

Z Ok... but I'd still take credit for it...

AmandaApathy You're proud of it?

Z he 'was' an asshole he 'did' deserve it... besides... he wouldn't leave me alone... I chased him down in the fucking rain.. and you're saying I shouldn't have done it?

AmandaApathy no.. I woulda had you kill him... he is obnoxious... but for plot reasons.. he lives...

Z damn...

AmandaApathy well.. I'm done here...

Z really?

AmandaApathy yup...

AmandaApathy gbye... Z... you stay...

Z why?

AmandaApathybecause I need to get into your character and I'm getting bored of talking to myself...

ZTHI turn it off...

AA NO!

AA *thinking I am dumb*

* ZTHI fakes a grin with clinched teeth"Turn it off..."

AA ha it's over... you did all that bitching for no reason!

*AA is for some dumb reason ignoring this

AA oops... I'm becoming involved again... I need to stop this... You're on your own Z... *puts on Adema Giving In and grins at Z*

ZTHI Come on! Do it!

ZTHI *mooseboy looks all sullenly kuz I said so "I can't"

pork he really would... if he could... he hates you Z... he wants you dead.. nothing more...

ZTHI what about you? you probably hate me too.. the only reason you put up with me is because you have to... I've figured it out... *meeker*I think...*back to normal intensity* and you'll just throw me to the side the first chance you get!

pork that's not fair...

ZTHI and you've said that already! We aren't helping Lizzy out if you keep repeating your lines!

AA ahem... less about me... more arguing

* Jada_Kat looks at ZTHI, "Did you steal my purse?"

ZTHI Me?

ZTHI You think I would s.. steal?

Jada_Kat you look like a trouble maker..

AA ooooh.... you've done touched a nerve......

ZTHI a....t...troublemaker?

* Jada_Kat studies ZTHI

ZTHI so... you just immediately assume that I was the one to steal your pur... purs... whatever the damn thing was....

Jada_Kat well, it didn't just walk away and sure as hell didn't lose and you're the only one I see here..

AA ahem... it is moments like this that that other character z is based on.. starts showing strange wackyness...

ZTHI wacky?

ZTHI that is the worst descriptive word in the english vocabulary!

ZTHI and you use it in a description of mee?

Jada_Kat I think she just did

AA hey hey... calm down... first of all.. I'm surprised you even know what the english vocabulary is... and second...you are not wielding a spork of any kind.. so I can say that word.

ZTHI are you saying I'm ignorant?

Jada_Kat spork?

AA no.. just lack common knowledge... that you can't deny....

AA johnny... when someone called him wacky in the taco place... he attacked everyone there with a "plastic spoon/fork" and it was quoted as being wacky...

* Jada_Kat bows before the spork wielder

Jada_Kat did he get it bloody?

* ZTHI tightens his grip on the knives at the use of that word...

AA uhm.. he disemboweled.. plucked a few eyeballs... uhm.. attacked the roaches in the kitchen....)

AA cops found him in there.. covered in gore.. eating a taco... he then attacked the cops and got away...

Jada_Kat sweetness.. good uses for a spork

* Jada_Kat can think of better but.. those are good

AA mhm.. in a fic.. I had johnny use a straw.. it was funny

* ZTHI grins at the memory that isn't his own.. but for some reason he has trouble remembering this...

*AA smacks Zim upside the head

AA that's not in your character!

AA you don't do these things in the story!

Jada_Kat lol

AA I've written about 20000 words on you and not once have you sat there and claimed things... OR lines of the characters you are based on!

ZTHI oh...

* ZTHI looks upset

ZTHI sorry...

* ZTHI goes and sits in a dark corner... like lizzy used to do waaaay back in the i-man chatroom... loooong ago...

AA DON'T COPY MEEEEEE!!!

ZTHI damn.. okay...

* ZTHI stands back up and walks over to where he was prior...

AA AND I DID IT FOR PURPOSE OF DWINDLING SANITY... besides... there's an alien sticker on the wall... or at least there was in the iman room... and you have to engage it in a staring contest....

ZTHI really?

AA you can't do that tho...

ZTHI why?

AA BECAUSE!

ZTHI because?

ZTHI just because?

AA ....

AA .. yes

And that's that... I haven't even thought about ZTHI in ages, hopefully I can get my brain cells back in working order for long enough to complete this fic. I really hate that I have left it unfinished for so long. C-ya in ficland... 8}
