                <description><![CDATA[ Well my friends and fellow deviants, I've been tagged, and I fear the wrath tof the gods lest I disobey. In advance, I am most earnestly sorry for this. (sighs) <br />Right then, here we go:<br />{1}. Post these rules<br /><br />{2}. Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.<br /><br />{3}. At the end you must choose 8 people to tag, and post their icons on the same journal.<br /><br />{4}. Go to their page and send a message saying you tagged them<br /><br />{5}. No tag-backs (damn it!)<br /><br />1) My favourite song in the world is Viva La Vida by Coldplay<br />2) I wear seven rings on my long, egregiously pale fingers, all silver<br />3) The prctical reason I have for not wearing dresses is that I can't sit properly in them<br />4) I adore mushroom quiche<br />5) I am a masochist<br />6) I know the words to every song from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and can never sing them because they don't sound right in my operatically-trained soprano<br />7) I am irrationally terrified of bees<br />8) There are times when I wake up in the morning, with pale light streaming in delicately through my bedroom window, the world inviting me out of my bed to taste its many delights...and I cannot move. I cannot get out of bed. I only stare blankly at the ceiling, deadly afraid that one day all I dreamed of will come true. And I'll be alone.<br /><br />There is so much more to tell, but alas, only eight spaces.<br />That actually felt quite good.<br />Hmmm....I tag:<br /><a href="http://wicked459.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/w/i/wicked459.png?1" alt=":iconwicked459:" title="wicked459"/></a> <a href="http://doctorwhoandk-9.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/o/doctorwhoandk-9.gif?6" alt=":icondoctorwhoandk-9:" title="doctorwhoandk-9"/></a> <a href="http://dolphin64575.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/o/dolphin64575.gif?2" alt=":icondolphin64575:" title="dolphin64575"/></a> <a href="http://hurricanecolette.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/u/hurricanecolette.jpg" alt=":iconhurricanecolette:" title="hurricanecolette"/></a> <a href="http://abellover.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif" alt=":iconabellover:" title="abellover"/></a><br />and, er...whoever the hell else wants to.<br /><br />Sorry for making you sit through that!<br /><br />YOS,<br /><br />Robin Common, Posing Somdomite<br /><br />(The Scribbler)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well bully for you, America.<br /><br />To do something foolish is one thing; to stand behind said foolish action when faced with the opportunity to set things right is quite another.<br /><br />As it has come to my attention, Proposition 8, the California ban on homosexual marriage, is still in effect despite being violently opposed by sane persons of decency the whole world over. Apparently some people still haven't got it through their molasses-thick skulls yet that legalisation of same sex marriage will not, in fact, force every sentient being to wed someone of the same sex. It will not remotely call heterosexual marriages into question, nor will it interfere with the Church in any way (despite the fact that the Good Lord calls us to love our neighbour as He loved us, and to not judge our fellow human beings. Not to mention that the condemnation of homosexuality in Leviticus is decreed in the same breath as a prohibition on eating shellfish or wearing mixed-fiber clothing). <br /><br />It makes me angry and sad to see that such ignorance, such hate and discrimination is still on the Earth after all this time of war, of disaster and pain. We as human beings ought to love one another, recognise our fellow man's right to love as his or her nature dictates, and unite as one people.<br /><br />Humanity has the potential. <br /><br />It only needs the motivation to get up of its fat arse, stop watching Gossip Girl, and pay some fucking attention to the world around them.<br /><br />YOS,<br /><br />Robin Common (The Scribbler)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Love is, after all, the only thing on Earth worth suffering for.<br />More poems and pieces of my masterwork to emerge forthwith, as I have been endowed with my old Muse, my love and my life.<br />Ah, I am such a fool...some part of my mind tells me I should care... however, I do not, and this is not likely to change.<br />More of me and my Work anon, my dears.<br /><br />YOS,<br /><br />Robin Common (The Scribbler)<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I don't know if all of you know about the WBC and their message of, er, peace and goodwill among all mankind, but for those of you who are unfamiliar, I shall explain. The WBC, or Westboro Baptist Church of Kansas, is a group of a couple hundred inbred religious fanatics who spend their deluded lives picketing the funerals of dead soldiers holding signs emblazoned with the most negative, ignorant filth imaginable. Videos of these people, led for the most part by Fred Phelps an his daughter Shirley, can be found all over Youtube, where even the likes of Tyra Banks found them unbearable to speak with. I make a point of not hating anyone- to love all of Creation and each individual person in it, even those who are less than courteous in their treatment of me. However, one can only turn the other cheek so many times, and there comes a time that people must speak out against hate and the people who with it further poison our suffering world. If anyone is nearly as angry as I and wishes to contact these people to question their warped logic (even better if you have Bible passages to back up your reasoning), I have found their numbers:<br />(785) 273-0325 - Fred W. Phelps Sr., cell phone<br />(785) 272-4135 - Fred Phelps, Jr.<br />(785) 273-0529 - Benjamin Phelps<br />(785) 273-0277 & (785) 273-1080 - Shirley Roper<br />(785) 272-8559 - Charles Hockenbarger<br />(785) 232-2485 - Fax for Charles Hockenbarger<br />(785) 233-4162 - Phelpsï»¿ Family Law Office<br />(785) 233-0766 - Fax for Phelps Family Law Office<br />(785) 969-9017 - Steve Drain<br /><br />People like this will never prevail if there is even one spark of intelligence, of compassion to defy them.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have as of late reread All The Insanity Thereafter from the beginning, and have been sickened by the dreadful abhorrence that met my eyes. As you may or may not have noticed, the majority of my book has been deleted from Deviantart. It is not coming back; not, at least, as you remember. I am in the process of a massive reworking of Insanity, which involves my rewriting the wole damn book from the beginning before I continue the story. I will submit the first of the new and improved version very, very soon.<br />With love, YOS,<br />Robin Common (The Scribbler)<br />PS, happy New Year, my dears.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Happily, though, America had her revolution last night, upon which history was made, and a new day dawned for the seemingly Godforsaken country. Funny fact about godforsaken things- they get that name when God never forsakes anyone or anything- not really, even though it really feels that way.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B0oS0xCSHI">[link]</a><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0lYIBjCpco">[link]</a><br />Happy November Fifth.<br />Vive La Revolucion!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ahhhh, women. Women are great; what would the world be without them, delightful sweet tormentors we are? I came across this on someone's blog and, I must say, I have to salute the young man for his startling honesty- he must be a brave boy indeed. The last time I was this honest it didn't turn out so well, haha. Well, here it is, directly copypasted!<br /><br /><a href="http://cuddleplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/u/cuddleplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcuddleplz:" title="cuddleplz"/></a><br />Here are a few reasons<br />why guys<br />love girls: (and why I do!!)<br /><br />1. They will always smell good<br />even if its just shampoo<br /><br />2. The way their heads always<br />find the right spot on our shoulder<br /><br />3. How cute they look when they sleep<br /><br />4. The ease in which they fit into our arms<br /><br />5. The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world<br /><br />6. How cute they are when they eat<br /><br />7. The way they take hours to get dressed<br />but in the end it makes it all worth while<br /><br />8.Because they are always warm even when its minus 30 outside<br /><br />9. The way they look good no matter what they wear<br /><br />10. The way they fish for compliments even though you both know that you think<br />she's the most beautiful thing on this earth<br /><br />11. How cute they are when they argue<br /><br />12. The way her hand always finds yours<br /><br />13. The way they smile<br /><br />14. The way you feel when you see their name<br />on the call ID after you just had a big fight<br /><br />15. The way she says 'lets not fight anymore'<br />even though you know that an hour later....<br /><br />16. The way they kiss when you do something nice for them<br /><br />17.The way they kiss you when you say 'I love you'<br /><br />18.<br />Actually ... just the way they kiss you...<br /><br />19. The way they fall into your arms when they cry<br /><br />20. Then the way they apologize for crying over something that silly<br /><br />21. The way they hit you and expect it to hurt<br />22. Then the way they apologize<br />when it does hurt. (even though<br />we don't admit it)!<br /><br />23. The way they say 'I miss you'<br /><br />24. The way you miss them<br /><br />25. The way their tears make you want to<br />change the world so that it doesn't hurt her anymore..... Yet regardless if you love them,<br />hate them, wish they would die or<br />know that you would die without them ... it matters not. Because once in your life,<br />whatever they were to the world<br />they become everything to you.<br />When you look them in the eyes,<br />traveling to the depths of their souls<br />and you say a million things without trace of<br />a sound, you know that your own life<br />is inevitable consumed within<br />the rhythmic beatings of her very heart.<br />We love them for a million reasons,<br />No paper would do it justice.<br />It is a thing not of the mind<br />but of the heart. A feeling. Only felt.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I just found this on broadwaygirl524's page on fanfiction dot net...and simply HAD to post it- this list made me laugh, because I have said yes to nearly every one <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/l/lmao.gif" width="19" height="21" alt=":lmao:" title="Laughing my ass off!" /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />92 percent of American teens would die if Abercrombie and Fitch told them it was uncool to breathe.

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone- I saw this in my dear friend <a href="http://doctorwhoandk-9.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/o/doctorwhoandk-9.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icondoctorwhoandk-9:" title="doctorwhoandk-9"/></a>'s journal, and I'd really like people to read this, as this is a serious issue of right and wrong that affects people all around the world, people who are reviled by society and even their own families for who they are. I dn't know about the rest of you, but when I read this (and I have many times) I feel an anger the likes of which has no equal, anger at these ignorant and cruel people so filled with hate for what they don't understand, hate for people, innocents who never did them any harm at all...If you have any respect for human rights, please, please repost.<br />Thank you.<br /><br />YOS,<br /><br />Robin Common (The Scribbler)<br /><br />Please, repost this in support of your friends and loved ones who are. Love is not defined by color, creed, sexual preference, or gender. Feel free to add your own story to the end.<br /><br />I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.<br /><br />I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday<br /><br />I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.<br /><br />I am the one working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.<br /><br />I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.<br /><br />We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.<br /><br />I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.<br /><br />I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.<br /><br />I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.<br /><br />We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.<br /><br />I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.<br /><br />I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.<br /><br />I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.<br /><br />I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.<br /><br />I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.<br /><br />I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.<br /><br />I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn't have to always deal with society hating me.<br /><br />I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.<br /><br />I am a warrior for my country serving proud, but can't be my true self because gays aren't allowed in the military.<br /><br />I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.<br /><br />I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.<br /><br />I am the who isn't sure what she is. I am the who is rejected by her "best friends" because of a less-than-conventional crush.<br /><br />I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to "teach me a lesson."<br /><br />This is the boy, Matthew Shepard. On October 7, 1998 Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson lead him to a remote area east of Laramie where they demonstrated unimaginable acts of brutality . Matthew was tied to a split-rail fence where he was beaten and left to die in the cold of the night. Almost 18 hours later he was found by a cyclist who initially mistook him for a scarecrow. Matthew died on October 12 at 12:53 am at a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. MURDERED BECAUSE HE WAS GAY!!!<br /><br />I am the girl who tried to kill herself, because she couldnt stand the bullying<br /><br />This is the girl. Alex Jones, when her class mates found out she was bisexual and had a girlfriend, they beat and bullied her untill she had to move away, she know keeps her sexuality a secret because shes so afraid<br /><br />I am the child who hides from the world because it seems so very cruel to those who are different.<br /><br />I am the young woman who was forced to sacrifice all she held dear to be 'normal' and live a lie,to hate herself utterly, because her own mother... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone!<br />I've been writing what I can, going around, watching, favoriting, and talking to lots of interesting people, as well as getting ready for Autumn, and , therefore, school to begin.(eck)Hopefully it'll be a good year, relatively free of stress and full of opportunity of every shape and size- including, I hope, meeting someone special (if Fortuna smiles upon me). I've been single for more than a year now, and am, I must confess, quite weary of my loneliness. I will try to post what dribbles of Chapter Ten I can get out before school starts because God knows you won't see much of me after that between homework and all the extracirricular stuff I do (musical theatre. Opera lessons. Lots of them. Hoo boy)<br />I can't wait to get some new stuff up and I promise to do so soon! And if I renege on that, feel free to come after me with writer-eating pirhana kittens or similar.<br />Toodles my dears!<br /><br />YOS,<br /><br />Robin Common (The Scribbler)<br /><a href="http://piratejigplz.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/i/piratejigplz.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpiratejigplz:" title="piratejigplz"/></a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everybody!<br />The last moments of summer have never been a good time for me; there always is some misfortune I'm plagued with, making it impossible for the one season to fade peacefully, gracefully into the next.<br />Then again, it is most certainly true that I am in a much better place now than I was a year ago today. At that time- though it seems like it's been forever, it really wasn't that long ago- I was being hurled painfully into the winter to greet face-to-face the worst and most painful year of my life so far, with loss and death amd shadow all around me.<br />Now I am, happily far better and I hope to God Almighty that this year will be better than the last, without a poisonous and false love rotting away my soul. Things can only get better after a year like that.<br />Even so, the last few weeks have been no picnic. My family and I have been looking after a litter of orphaned baby squirrels that my father rescued for little over a week now, and two of the three have died in the last two days. Seeing those little bodies, stiff and cold despite our best efforts before they even got to open their eyes, is almost more than a human heart can bear after feeding and caring for them so diligently. The last remaining baby is thus far doing very well, getting fat and staying warm, but I'm still cautious, still afraid to hope. God willing this one will live to see the sun.<br />Also, the object of a toxic love that I had thought was dead and buried, that I was by now relieved at the thought it was finally over, has sprung from the shadows and clawing viciously at my just-healed scars. This, I do not think in the least bit fair. Not now. not after months of tears and scorching fire carring my heart to cinders, my tortured soul only just learning to live again before once more being tormented. What am I to do? Do I turn a deaf ear? Do I simply run and not look back? Or do I just wolf down a block or two of chocolate and cry myself to sleep?<br />Sometimes Fortuna just loves to slap your face and laugh. Women.<br />Talk to me.<br /><br />YOS<br /><br />Robin Common<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey there everybody...today passes like a dream, as summer finally begins to die. Don't get me wrong; I love Autumn just as I love all the Earth's seasons, but with the beauty of the trees and the lovely crisp chill in the air comes another year of school.<br />Yuck.<br />Highschool will soon be behind me as nothing more than a memory, and I'm sure in years to come I'll wish myself back to the way I am now (hah!) but I'd really like nothing more than to go to sleep for a few years and upon my waking be a successful writer of thirty with a moderate apartment, loving companion and a few cats. But no...everything in its time I suppose. I still have college and a lot more to get through before my golden vision of the life I may someday have will become truth. I'll have to work damn hard for it though...sigh.<br />I've been writing as much as I can muster but haven't posted it yet (mnyah mnyah!), including a poem that explains why my name is what it is, and some mportant angst I went through that in retrospect really worked out quite well for me in the end, both as a learning experience, and, more importantly, writing fodder.<br />So don't touch that dial, my dears- a lott more Common writing will be coming your way!<br /><br />YOS<br /><br />Robin<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Shakin mah fish!" /><br />....<br />....<br />....Sorry  about that er, little outburst my dears, I'm just rather frustrated with my STUPID STUPID RAT CREATURE MUSE at the moment. Writer's block is a BITCH. I've kad a potentially KICKARSE story scampering round my poor overstuffed skull for like a week now, and the damn thing simply refuses to be captured on paper. It's like trying to nail jelly to the wall... except the jelly is in your head. And laughing at you. ARGH.<br />Anyway, I'm at the seahore presently, and recently attended the annual seafood festival (YAAY!) with my dear dear friend :wicked459:, whose avatar is inexplicably a blue comb for no reason at all that I am aware of. At the festival we happily gorged ourselves on lobster bisque, fried clams, kettle corn, candy apples, and, interestingly, alligator nuggets which (forgive the cliche but it's true) tasted just like chicken. But like BADASS chicken. <br />Writingwise, I'm happy to say I did more of chapte ten, which I'll post ASAP!<br />WHEE!<br />YOS,<br />Me<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Guys, listen up: you have to read this for your own safety. I don't want anyone to be hurt, and w have to band together to keep our beloved DA safe. I read the following on a friend of mine's journal; if you are interested n self preservation, you will read it too.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I am FREAKING OUT! NO JOKE YOU HAVE TO READ THIS FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY ON DA! NO JOKE!<br />I read this on 's journal who read it on 's journal.<br /><br />No freaking joke. There's a predator stalking DeviantArt. And he's going under different names in order to hide his true identity. I was asked to copy and paste this to my journal. If you are a member of DA you MUST do the same<br /><br />THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! THIS INVOLVES YOUR SAFETY ON DA<br /><br /><br />I am begging you to read this, there is an online stalker (Jere1234,Caeruleum,Kyakuchuu, all the same person) who recently attacked a dear friend of mine, . DA has resolved the situation, but this situation is something people need to be cautious and aware of. He has been blocked but theres always a chance that he'll make another account. Im going to post what's in her journal and if you notice any patterns of similarity, please contact DA IMMEDIATELY. This guy has gone thorough great lengths to contact my friend such as making new accounts and pretending to be other people who he's not. If you would, PLEASE copy this entire message and let other DA members know about this threat. the more people know, the better chance users have of not becomming a victim. So please,read, copy and post this again so this information can spread and no one else gets hurt. There is safty in numbers and this sort of thing needs to be stopped!<br /><br />Read on to see whats in her journal and if you have any questions, contact her here . She'd would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have so this can be prevented. Please let this word spread.<br /><br />:iconKaysellebell: 's Journal from this morning-<br /><br />"I am begging you to read this, it will explain the last journal and also warn so this won't happen to YOU.<br /><br />Jere1234 IS<br />Caeruleum IS<br />Kyakuchuu.<br /><br />This man is most likely a serial killer or sexual predator of some sort. Deviant art staff is handling this for me right now. The man originally added me as Jere1234 and then he notified me that he would be switching to Caeruleum. He asked that I add him. Thinking he was just some nice man who liked my artwork I said "Sure, why not?" On this account he began writing some poems about and TO my girlfriend Kayla, and I. I began to find this odd but being an overly naive and trusting person I was polite about it, commented the poems, thanked him, so on. He wrote a poem about a lifestyle choice that I thought he spent alot of time critisizing for being different than his own and I believe I posted a comment as simple as "Gosh, what have you got against that, anyhow?" The man literally flipped out. He not only wrote two journal entries condemning me and calling me things between immature and evil, but he also sent me notes telling me how "disappointed" he was with me. A man that I don't know in real life, have only talked to online for a few days, is "disappointed with me." He blocked me, and I blocked him back.<br /><br />Not long after I began to get several favorites and then a watch from the account Kyakuchuu. I noticed the similar style of poetry and similar interests but I hate people who make assumptions and I'd rather not be one of them, so I just figured it was another poet with similar interests. "Kyakuchuu" soon after began calling Kayla and I "muses" and writing poems about us as well. 2KL he called them-- and informed me that this meant "To Kayla and Ellie" There is a numerous list of them in his gallery. He favorited absolutely every work of mine with Kayla in it along side of me and also any of my pictures that showed my feet. (foot fetishist, obsessive personality: bad sign) He wrote me notes telling of his extensive admiration for Kayla and I, his plans for other poems about us, thanking me for being his "inspiration". All of this seemed very creepy, but I was always thinking, what if this is really just some eccentric old man minding his own business, and he just hasn't got anything better to do. I would hate to just hurt some innocent old man by lashing out at him for no reason. HOWEVER upon talking to Kayla about this, she has taken criminal justice classes. She said that many of these traits sounded like BAD traits and BAD signs. She told me about a type of serial killer called "collecters" Who will collect information, pictures, anything about their subjects, and obsess over them, for a long time before they make any move. She told me that alot of the time these men will be too smart for their own good and seem kind of innocent but mostly very mysterious. I have never let on in this site where I live as far as I know, all of my friends sites that... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys! <br />I'm  at a summer college currently- this place is wicked awesome, generally Bohemian, love it. Currently good English weather outside; cold and rainy. Strangely I love that too. I just posted the first of my series on women and what the hell they are- it'll be from the different viewpoints of each of my characters in turn- They can't wait to meet you all and I'm just as impatient to introduce them! They're all original characters of mine, every one, and I love them as a mother loves her children. And they are, they are my inky spawn and the voices in my head. They are also all from a book I am writing, the prologue of which Ihope to be posting soon! If you like historical fiction, bawdy humor, Cockney accents, and the supernatural, I know you'll love it. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/a/ahoy.gif" width="31" height="19" alt=":ahoy:" title="Ahooooy Matey!" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>
