I'm Joi.

i'm head over heals in love with james->06.06.06
i ride horses. my uncle bought me one when i was 9.
my parents are both alcoholics. i have the police documents, and AA papers to prove it.
my sister ran away from home when she was 17 and i was 12.
my cousin Dash is my best friend. she has APL. if you know what that is i'm sad for you.
i give riding lessons to pay for my ponies board.
and i babysit james little bro and sis.
I love this idea. and your story made it work well. To feel that miserable and not be able to know exactly why is horrible...i should know. I like the way it was different from other lily/james stories, because it wasn't james changing, it was lily finally understanding how much he cared:)
I love your writing. you have this way of dexcribing the emotions in a realistic way that not aot of others achieve.
i understand. I know you must have felt this way at some point to be able to describe it so well, not the whole being used thing, the needing to make sure you can still feel. I've been there too.
It is almost impossible to stop, and just when i think Ive beat it something throws me for a loop and i find myself standing over my sink watching myself bleed.
anyway you write beautifully, and i love the way you make James seem horrible, but then remind everyone that alot of people do horrible things without meaning to.
this story kind of depresses me.
my three year old cousin just got diagnosed with autisim two monthes ago. I know all about how it will affect him, but nobody bothered to fill me in on what it means for me.
Your story is great, it has this kindof brutal honesty i guess you could call it. YOu write beautifully, and your story has a real flow to it.
Author's Response: fairy lights, i'm sorry that this depresses you (although I'm not going to say that I'm sorry your cousin got diagnosed with autisim because it's not something to feel sorry for... yes, it's difficult and hard, but there'll always be hope). I hope that above all you could feel that at the end there is a connection, but we simply need to find it. It may require time and sacrifice... but it'll come. Thanks for reviewing and if you want to give any more input or comment with me you can email me too. Thanks! ~Astro
update already!
Author's Response: Hi! I\'m sorry for not updating I really am, but I\'m currently studying for my GCSE\'s which are really important, they finish in the next couple of weeks though, and then I\'ll be back to working on my story full time. I know how frustrating this must be, but I promise that I\'m doing my best. I\'ve also just found out that my beta can no longer work on my story, so I\'m in the process of looking for a new one. I\'m sorry for not updating, but with any luck Things Aren\'t Always Black and White should be up and running again soon.

I love the way you write. especially how you characterize lily, in all of your stories.
I love that Lily is fiery, and a little out of her mind, it makes her seem more real.
Author's Response: Thank you, I\'m glad you like Lily! She\'s become pretty much my favourite character of the whole series, and has only actually properly appeared in one scene (book 5) ... weird, huh? I\'m really glad you like my fics. =D
