Welcome to Gaia! ::

Composer Erase it, I have a headache after that... Coffee didn't help either.
Anyway, should I do more? Sorry about the double post, but I think the first one was long enough.

Oh, and I did a quick check. 234 PDF pages, excluding the cover, divided by 43 uses of the word murmured. What does this mean?
About every 5.44 pages, you'll see the word murmured. *facepalms* Real book: 498 divided by 43 is 11.58. Once more... *facepalms*
As for grimaced: 234 divided by 15: every 15.6 pages. For the actual book, 498 divided by 15: 33.2. Think of something else! Don't use the thesaurus, for the love of Malpercio, but be more original! People don't always speak quietly or, to quote dictionary.com, make "a facial expression, often ugly or contorted, that indicates disapproval, pain, etc.".

...You know, on second thought, I think she just used the thesaurus on the wrong words. Instead of using it to describe how "beautiful" Edward is, change how they talk! For the love of Nanryu...
What about grumbling, or whispering, or just plain talking? Mutter, complained if used in the right situation, all sorts of things. But no... 43 TIMES.
Instead of grimace, say forced a smile, have them sigh or shake their head sympatheticaly, or something! This just... gets on my nerves...

...She uses the word "scintillating" to describe Edward's arms. Along with who knows how many different ways of saying beautiful.

I read Hellsing and fanfics. It revived my brain to see the manga and anime...

So, getting ready to dive into these again. Being sick gives me a LOT of time on my hands... Ugh. *sips more tea* About all I can drink right now without my stomach yelling at me.

So, expect more soon!

Welcome back to your favorite forum game (or not.), "Count the Times"!
First on the chopping block: Sighed. Maybe you've noticed this one, too. Just counting how many times people sigh in this book. I sigh a lot, but this.... *shakes head*
All pages are PDF.

34: 95
35: 97 (Brain is twitching.)

52: 125 (*puts Beatles on*)
53: 125 (Maybe this will help.)
54: 126 (Or maybe not...)
55: 129 (Maybe it just needs to be louder?)

66: 151
67: 151 (I want to kick a fluffpup right now.)
68: 154 (I wonder what manga essence this would be...)

70: 155 (Angry, very angry...)
71: 160
72: 161 (*rubs eyes* For the love of the Music...)
73: 165 (THIS CHAPTER TITLE IS UNWORTHY!)
74: 166
75: 167
76: 169 (*brain makes a fizzle sound*)
77: 169 (*collapses* Need... manga.)

87: 197 (Great, there it goes.)
88: 201 (Will we reach 100?)
89: 211
90: 212 (Yes, we probably will.)

92: 215 (May the Triforce help me...)
93: 215 (I'm begging here, help?)

102: 229 (Why... Why?!)
103: 231 (It's almost over... Thank the Composer!)
104: 232 (Farore, give me courage to finish. And why did it reach TWEWY numbers?)
105: 232 (I think I'll need it.)
106: 233 (Really.)
107: 233 (Now my ears hurt... How did I manage that?)
108: 234 (Urgh.)
109: 234 (Oh, come on! This is a good store!)

THANK FARORE, IT'S DONE!
109 freaking times! Even I didn't guess that it would be that high! Seriously, this is getting on my nerves.
Wanna know the average? Every 2.15 pages. *headesk* Need to go do something else. I'll discus if anyone wants to.

I'm sorry. This series can ruin quite a few things, can't it?
...I mostly try and ignore when my brain does that. Otherwise I'd get mad whenever I sighed.

You should count how many times quotes are left unclosed.

"Well I sighed, I am chagrined to see all this, I am going to hang myself now while murmuring some non sparkly quotes from some real books
