    Would You Rather..

    Englishman in New York, because Englishmen are more sophisticated, and I hear Parisians don't like Americans, especially when they grow fur and kill things while foaming at the mouth. Would you rather eat worms or jump off a cliff with no means of survival?

    The Evil "Wish" Game

    Granted: But now that you know, you want to hide away on a desert island and never see a living soul again. I wish I didn't have a sore throat right now. :(

    Saddam Hussein to be hanged TONIGHT!

    I think Saddam could still be a martyr rotting in his cell, and then he might be broken out. I'm not aboslutely certain about whether or not it was a good thing that he was killed; just something to think about.

    Would You Rather..

    Both of my legs. I use my arms and hands for a lot more and I don't do much with my legs. Besides, that'll be much more weight that I don't have to worry about. Just kidding. Would you rather tell walk around in a pit of used hypodermic needles (as in Saw II) or watch nothing but little...

    The Evil "Wish" Game

    Granted, but it's a weekend that happens so fast that you blink and it's Monday again. I wish I won the lottery.

    Parallel Reading

    I confuse numerical/instructional info very easily, but my memory for storyline info and history and things like that is nearly photographic. It's kind of embarassing that I easily recite the life story of Napoloeon because I watched a special on him two years ago, but I'll walk down the stairs...

    How possessive are you about your books?

    When I first get books, I'm very possessive. No one can as much as peer between the covers until I have read it. After that, I'm very lenient with them. I won't make a big deal over one or two dog-ears or a small tear on the page--that's normal wear and tear that it'll get from me. I don't...

    Your pets and reading

    Yes, I know what you mean. My dog is just a little over the weight limit for a lap dog, so we let her pretend she's one. My neighbors' dog, on the other hand...well, it's a golden retriever. The biggest flippin' golden retriever I've ever seen. And it thinks it's a Jack Russel terrier, which...

    Saddam Hussein to be hanged TONIGHT!

    I haven't watched the video, and I won't, but one of my Muslim friends told me that he did, and that it was bad. He said that people were kicking the body and yelling at him, although I don't remember what he said they were saying. I did see pictures of the body on the news, and the neck was...

    The Evil "Wish" Game

    Granted: But you must take your kids and all their screaming friends with you. I wish that I was in a movie.

    Would You Rather..

    Deaf, because I'm already a little deaf and I just couldn't stand not talking. Would you rather be stabbed or shot? (And just to make myself clear, that's not a threat.)

    Question Game

    Sapphires, because they're just plain prettier than rubies and more elegant. Light or dark soda?

    The Evil "Wish" Game

    Granted, but your favorite band now backs up Hilary Duff. I wish that my room could magically be cleaned.
  14. ValkyrieRaven88

    hello

    Yes, he recommended that to me as well. I have yet to read it. :( Thanks again for letting me borrow your manga, while we're on the subject.

    Don't go to Prague!

    Really? I've only seen pictures, but I had been vaguely interested in going.

    some of my poems

    First poem: I liked it, but I didn't care for the pop culture references. They seemed out of place and kind of interrupted the otherwise more emotional poem. Second poem: Interesting, because I can sympathize. Teachers give us assignments but are too concerned with the fact that they have...

    The Evil "Wish" Game

    Granted, but you can only draw the same thing, over and over again, and it's too simple to be recognized by anyone. I wish I had better skin.

    Can people really change?

    People can change if they really want to change. The problem is, most people don't. It's sad.

    Inspiration vs. Stealing a Story

    I wouldn't think that was necessarily stealing, unless everything looked too much like something in another book. For example, both Harry Potter and the Bartimaeus Trilogy deal with a juvenile magician learning magic, facing danger, and going on adventures, are set in England, and aimed at the...

    2nd draft = 1st draft - 10%

    I over-write a bit, but King overwrites massively. He does it well, I suppose, but you still wait for him to get to the point a lot. That's probably why the editor told him that. GreenKnight--thanks, I was thinking about picking that up but have refrained from doing so as of yet. Since you...
