Red Thunder

Hey dude, I'm Gears of War and I also have been adopted by Red Thunder. Let me tell you a bit about him. Well first up he was formerly known as Stortracker 94. During that time he adopted me. He has adopted about five our six users at a time and one just graduated. He works on articles around storms and sports and other things of that nature. He has tried to become an Admin about six times and has failed each time. But his dogged determination keeps him trying. An Admin is a user that was voted to become one of the most powerful users on Wikipedia. Red Thunder is currently taking a tiny break and so he may not be able to return messages as fastly as usual. If you ever want to contact me, contact me at my talk page. Later dude.Gears Of War 15:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

NCIS

You're welcome! Who is your favorite character? My favorite character is Abby. Abby 82 (talk) 21:10, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Lol, yea, I see what you mean. I can't wait to see the new episodes this Tuesday, what about you? Abby 82 (talk) 22:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

I'll give it a chance, but I don't think that I will be too fussy on it. I wasn't fussy on the crossover/introduction to the new series, the episodes "Legends (Part 1)" and "Legends (Part 2)" were not really my favorites. By the way, where are you from? I'm from Newfoundland, Canada. What other TV shows do you like besides NCIS? I like InuYasha, The Simpsons, Hannah Montana, and Wizards of Waverly Place. How old are you? I'm 19. What are your favorite bands and singers? My favorite bands are Hydrovibe, Jonas Brothers, Joydrop, and Evanescence. My favorite Singers are Rex Goudie, Miley Cyrus, Shakira, and Taylor Swift. Sorry if it seems like I'm asking a lot of questions, I just want to get to know you lol. Abby 82 (talk) 23:39, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

I've been watching NCIS since September 2008. I also like CSI:NY, but I don't watch it much since it comes on CBS at 11:30 p.m., which is late for me lol. It used to come on History Television, but it was taken off in January 2008 and replaced with NCIS, but because I was busy with school, I didn't get much time to watch it. I'm going to University hopefully in January, I have to get surgery and I'm hoping it will be done before January, if not, I may not be going to University until May, since if I get surgery, I will be missing a few weeks from school, and when you're in University and miss that much time, it is really hard to catch up. I don't know what to think about the rumors of Tony and Ziva dating, because I think Ziva might be killed off in this season, from what I seen in the final episode of Season 6. Also, I'm writing a fanfiction crossover between NCIS and Saw. In my story, Ziva is placed in a trap(she has a bomb watch on that will explode and kill her in two hours if she does not find the key. The key is at a person that killed one of her close friends when she was younger in a car accident, and Ziva never forgave the person that killed her friend. The person that places Ziva in the trap is Mark Hoffman, the person that is taking over John Kramer's "work", and Ziva starts to date Mark and tells him about her past, and how she lost a close friend, and she will never forgive the person that killed her friend. This causes Mark to put Ziva in a trap, and Ziva, along with everyone else at NCIS, realizes that Mark was putting people in traps, since there will be a death that they investigate in the beginning. Ziva will not die in the story by the way). I got this idea after I had a dream where I was placed in a Saw trap. It involved me being placed in a trap was one where I had a bomb watch attached to my left arm. In order to get the key to unlock the watch from my arm I had to go to the school that made my life hell and forgive them. Just to let you know, in real life there was a school that made my life hell. I was bullied badly at that school and they never did anything about it. I had my own challenges, however, I was not one that started fights or bullied people, I would defend myself though if needed. An example to show that the school I went to made me miserable was when I was pushed down the stairs and broke my ankle. The person that pushed me said "haha the freak fell." I ended up getting a cast on my foot, and even though I reported the incident, nothing was done, even though I ended up getting a cast on my foot. The person never got suspended or detention, since they denied even being on the staircase at the time, yet the school never questioned why I was walking around with a cast on my leg or how I ended up falling down the stairs. Anyway, to get back to the dream. The dream started out with me seeing this orange watch on my left arm that was on a timer. I seen this tape next to me, so I pressed play. The tape said this: "Hello Rebekah(Rebekah is my real name by the way, what's yours?)I want to play a game. For six years you attended a school that made you miserable, since you were treated badly, by both the students and staff at that school. Because of this, you despise that school and will never forgive them for the pain they have caused you. Today I give you the chance to forgive. The device you are wearing is a bomb watch that will explode in two hours unless you locate the key. The watch is powerful enough to blow up your whole body. In order to get the key, you need to go back to the place that caused you so much pain. Remember, forgiveness is the key to your freedom. Let the game begin." I went to the school, and retrieved the key from the Guidance counsellor that was not much of a Guidance counsellor at all when I was there, since she never helped anyone and was more rude than anything, not only to me, but to my mom as well, and other people that I knew, even people that were in the school after I left. Anyway, when I got out of the school, I used the key to unlock the bomb from my arm. Even though I unlocked the bomb from my arm, the bomb was still activated, since the watch was still working, it never shut off. I only had a minute left before the watch exploded, and since I did not want the watch near me, I threw it at the school and ran, and I was just far enough from the school to not be affected by the bomb when the school blew up. Don't worry, Ziva will deactivate the watch when she takes it off, she won't blow anything up lol. I hope you don't mind me telling you all this, but I thought I should, since I'm working on the story, but I haven't got a lot done with it yet, I got a lot to do with the story yet before it's finished. Abby 82 (talk) 11:09, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I will be studying Sociology when I go to University, since I got to get my masters in Sociology before I go to Law School and Study Law(I plan on becoming a lawyer for Family Law). Anyways, I have to get surgery on my brain. You see, when I was born, there was this cyst growing on my brain. The doctors LIED to my mom and told her that they removed it, when they never, they only put a shunt in to prevent the fluid that came from the cyst from building up. Now, we recently found out by the neurologist I am now seeing thanks to a seizure I had in November 2008(When I was younger, I had seizures frequently, and I was seeing another neurologist then, but he never told us anything about the cyst not being removed), that the cyst was NEVER removed and in fact has grown and is covering the entire right side of my brain. This has me so upset, since in my opinion, since the doctors lied to my mom when they did the surgery when I was four days old, they basically abused me, since I have gone through so much agony, turmoil, and stress because of this lie. I would have complex partial seizures, which would cause me to get an overwhelming sense of fear and I would not be able to speak. This was misdiagnosed by my previous neurologist as anxiety. My new neurologist right away said it was seizures, and sent me for tests to prove it. I also have had Grand Mal seizures in my life, where I would lose total consciousness and have to be taken to the hospital. I have had many MRIs done, and not once did the neurologist I used to see tell us about the cyst not being removed, or let us see the MRI, which is what the neurologist I am now seeing let us do. Because of my brain injury, I find it very difficult to visualize things in my brain, or have visual recall. I would have a lot of difficulty with Math, since it required a lot of visualization and visual recall in the higher grade levels. I could do addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but things like Geometry were very difficult for me because of the injury. I still did academic math in school, I never did any basic math, however, I did have a tutor for Math. Also, I was bullied so badly because of the seizures I would have, and other things. The bullies would call me the name "Scary Terry", which I have no clue where they got that from, since my name is not even Terry. And what really pisses me off is that I moved from where I lived and switched schools in order to get away from that, and this bully that attended the school that the name started in also moved and started attending the school I was now going to, and got people to call me the name again. I am now 19, and so are the people that call me this name, and they still continue to do this, even though they are 19 or older. I don't react, but they still do it. And I've had worse things done to me besides being called names, I have been beaten up, and even one of the bullies tried to kill me once(they grabbed me and lit my coat on fire, and I took it off before it burned). Anyways, I know that I will be having brain surgery, but the neurosurgeon my neurologist referred me to is not sure what he will be doing, he may try to remove the cyst but he think that is unlikely since the cyst is so large, so he thinks he may just replace the shunt, since the shunt I had put in when I was born is now full of calcium. Either way, I am not sure or happy about it, since not only did the cyst cause me the difficulties I am having, but the surgery did to, and I'm sure of it, thanks to all the things I have been through. Anyways, sorry if this seems like I am saying a "poor me" story, because I don't mean to, I just wanted to let you know what kind of surgery I am having, since you asked, and what the background history to cause me to have this surgery is. Abby 82 (talk) 13:14, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm going to be doing a lot of editing now that the NCIS episode has aired, lol. Abby 82 (talk) 13:20, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

It was pretty good. Right now, as you can see, this guy and I are basically in a war, since he won't leave me alone just because I pointed out a fact on an edit he made to Leroy Jethro Gibbs's article. It is so nice when we deal with people like this, isn't it? lol. Abby 82 (talk) 12:00, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I got to laugh, if you've noticed, he's been sneeking in his comments in between the comments you write on the section you started lol. I keep removing them, and this time, I'm not replying. This guy needs to learn the meaning of the word shut up. Abby 82 (talk) 19:20, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Yea, I don't think that I can, but if he continues it, I might try to report for harassment, even though I know nothing will be done. Back in May, I had this one guy that, believe it or not, was my EX-BOYFRIEND made an account and harrassed me on an old account I had. I knew it was him since he mentioned personal details that only he would know in real life. I reported him for sockpuppetry, but they would not investigate it, given the many ways I explained it, AND said his real user account that he uses for "Good" edits. All they had to do was an IP trace but they wouldn't even do that. The account he made to harass me with(the username he made for that account was "Higgys", and his real username is Blackmagic1234), was blocked, but his real one wasn't. Then, I had the unfortunate incident of using the new account I made after Blackmagic1234(a.k.a. Higgys) harassed me, at the library. I logged off the account, but someone went on that computer and made edits to an article that I normally edit, and I was accused of sockpuppetry because it came from the same IP address- it was the library IP address, and the IP address for the library I go to NEVER changes, and my account was blocked. I appealed it, but nothing was done. So now, I got this account, and am only using it at home, but if I ever get blamed and blocked for something I never did on here ever again, I will never be coming back here. I'm sure you would feel the same way if that happened to you lol. Abby 82 (talk) 13:16, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Yea, he is lol. I'm glad that you seem nice, I hope you don't become a psycho like two certain editors on here I've been dealing with (Soul Phire and Blackmagic1234) lol. Have you ever had any issues with any editors on here? A couple of my friends have before had issues with people who basically kept insisting that 2 plus 2 equals 6. Abby 82 (talk) 15:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Haha you're smart for doing that :). Just wondering, what is the weirdest dream you ever had? I once dreamed that this guy that was dressed up as Santa Claus chased me and threw bombs while screaming "MERRY F***ING CHRISTMAS!!!!" Whenever I go on Yahoo! Answers and answer a question on what is the weirdest dream I ever had, I tell that one, and my answer is usually chosen as best answer because people find that so funny. Abby 82 (talk) 12:49, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Wow, you must have some pissed of people in the dream world, lol. I don't usually have things like psycho Santa Clauses chasing me and thrwoing bombs and screaming "MERRY F***ING CHRISTMAS!!!" Believe it or not, some of my dreams are a series. Right now, I'm part of the Rescue Heroes team(I was asked to join when I saved some boy from a fire, and since then I've been always having dreams about them), NCIS(I'm usually hanging out with some of the characters in these dreams, though once I dreamed there was a dead body found and someone I knew that is close to me was accused of the murder and I had to prove that they were innocent), and SAW(I'm usually either Helping Jigsaw, investigating a death, which once had the people from NCIS in it and we were investigation the death of Timothy Young, the man put in the twisting crucifix trap, or I am in a trap, and I have only told you about the bomb watch one, there was another one, where my mom, and three of my friends were strapped to this bed in my house, and the bed would get hotter and hotter and if I never located the key in fifteen minutes, fire would come out of this blue blanket that was covering them, the blue blanket also had holes in it that would shoot fire out of it and the bed would become a bed of fire if I never found the key in time. I was in my kitchen looking in a cupboard for the key when I woke up, so I don't know what happened after that lol. Abby 82 (talk) 15:50, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not really sure, I know I will not be posting it online for personal reasons. I will only be showing it to my Mom(she loves NCIS lol), Dad, and maybe e-mail it to you if you like. The people I'm friends with don't really like NCIS lol. When the time comes, if you want it to be e-mailed to you, let me know, since if I posted it on here it would be "too big" and considered vandalism probably by some bot. I could give you an e-mail I have, but the e-mail I will give you is one of the accounts I rarely use. I will give you that e-mail only in case some users on here that like to watch what I post don't get my real e-mail, and then, when you e-mail me, I will give you my real e-mail address. That may sound confusing, but it is the best thing to do, given what kind of users are on here lol. Abby 82 (talk) 14:08, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad that you got the same idea as me about the e-mail :). Abby 82 (talk) 17:51, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
