[ooc] First of all I have to say thank you for all your comments and advice. As much as I'm writing this for myself, I love to hear what other people think of it. Trying to come up with thoughts of a Noise Tank was pretty hard, so I actually used a piece of programing from Microsoft Visual Basic and changed a few things so it wasn't talking about dice. Rhyth was the easiest. Rhyth is a lot like Saby in my Ganutlets stories, if anyone's interested in reading them. Sorry for the blatent self-promotion, but I really need people to read them. Anyway, here's Gum.[/ooc]
Hey ya. You probably know who I am, don't ya? Gum, the real cool lady of the GG's who leaves a trail of broken hearts wherever she goes. I never meant to get that reputation, it just, well, it just happened.
See, I grew up in a really close but small community. But there weren't a lot of kids, there was about five of us, a few more latter on, but for a long time I was the only girl. I was the second eldest of the kids, and well, I had to play with someone, didn't I?
I spent most of my childhood as the only girl in a bunch of guys, but that was fine. We all got on really well and all, and it didn't matter at all that I was a girl. At least, not to us.
There were some things us kids planned to do together that my parents just weren't happy about. They tried to keep me out of things because I was the girl, parents treated me differently.
I remember one Xmas, when we got presents, all the guys got water pistols, but me, and the other little girl who was four at the time when I was 9, got given dolls. What was the point of a doll? I was really annoyed, you know? I mean, all the boys got fun stuff, and I didn't. It didn't seem fair.
Somewhere along the line through that I developed an attitude that I was just as good if not better than any boy. And I know that I am, but sometimes they don't.
I used to be a lot more of a tomboy too, I wouldn't be caught dead in a dress. I used to wear shorts for skating all the time, and with short hair I guess I looked a bit like a boy. You'd be surprised how many times I did get mistaken for a guy.
In any case, I wear a dress now, because despite what some people think, I like boys. As much as I tend to get aggressive at them and all competitive, I do like them.
Well, one.
But I know he doesn't like me, at least not like that. Beat and I talk a lot, sometimes we argue sometimes we agree, but we're honest and open with each other all the time.
See, Beat has a little problem
He has girl trouble.
It's not that he's shy or bashful or that chicks just don't like him……
It's the opposite.
Beat is, as a lot of guys seem or pretend to be, he's ruled by his balls. This gets him into trouble.
See, for some reason, girls like Beat. I know I like him because I can talk to him, I think they like him because, you know. He's a guy.
Beat also doesn't seem to grasp consequences. I've lost count of how many chick's he's been with. At one point he had two girlfriends, one his heart was doting on, but the other one was the one he was screwing.
Of all people, he came to be for advice. Not that I could help him much, I mean, I don't have any of that sort of experience. I'm an Ice Maiden, completely untouchable. Not like people ever try.
But I tried to help him anyway, there wasn't much I could do.
The thing I remember him saying the most, the thing I'll probably regret for ever, was that he asked me to promise him something. He asked me to never get involved in a relationship with him, because he didn't want to hurt me.
So I promised him. What else could I do? I couldn't not promise him. I just couldn't.
I get little daydreams every now and then of Beat asking me to break that promise, but I know he'll never do so.
I don't even know if he remembers that I promised him.
But I remember.
I still like talking to him though, I can't have quite a conversation with anyone else. Beat is open and honest and acts like I'm an equal, whereas some guys don't. He's also really clever, but can never hold onto an idea for very long.
Well, that's my story.
That's me, Gum; letting myself get chewed up and spat out.
[ooc] btw, if anyone has any ideas for the Immortals, could you share them please?[/ooc]
