    What do you use as a bookmark?

    At the moment the sentence "everywhere suddenly nowhere little spider" as a book mark. Because I wrote a lot of random words on a sheet of paper and then I started cutting the words out separately, that particular "sentence" wasn't entire cut out yet, so it functioned good as a bookmark.

    Hello Scott, and welcome to the forum! And in the most politely manner, I must say that I really hate your username.

    A question

    I am writing on a story which as a woman being killed in the beginning of it (I think you read that particular part). But it's not the theme of the entire story, and she wasn't naked either! Hm, I could make her into a man instead though, that would probably be more original? Perhaps.

    Roald Dahl: My Uncle Oswald

    I read My Uncle Oswald a couple of months ago, it was hilarious, but yet not the kind of book that I remember too well afterwards. If it had been a movie, it would have been one of the good comedies that make you laugh a lot, but which do don't see again. Hm, I have been comparing books to music...

    What do you like to drink while you read?

    I drink water all the time, it's like I have this extreme fear of getting dehydrated or something.

    how do you feel when u read something awesome, but everyone else hates it to shreds?

    I don't think that I have ever experienced something like that. If ever, I just assumed that I had better taste in books than them. It's the same as it is with music, I know that the music I love is fantastic, anyone who says otherwise are just pityful. I don't think that I know better than...

    If you were a writer, which would you rather be?

    Well, first of all, my job wouldn't be as a professor or whatever it was suppose to be. And I have no plans of becoming a famous book author, or if I'll ever write a book. Hm. If I could choose, I'd be the bass player of a poetic and respected underground rock band. That would be nice, even if...

    Why is it so bloody hard ..

    Dude Where's My Car makes my laugh my head off everytime I see it, it's just insanely terrific. My favourite comedy movies are norwegian though, but I guess there's no point in listing them. Pirates of the Caribbean made me laugh a lot, is it a comedy? Anyway, whatever you do, do not watch the...

    School Uniforms - Mandatory or not?

    I agree somewhat in what you're saying. But I did say that school uniforms could be a good idea for the younger children, though not for the older ones such as myself. Personally, clothes is what I spend the least of my money on, most of my clothes are bought on sale and then I usually change...

    Music while you are reading or writing. Life's Theme Song?

    My life has a theme song, an anthem actually, and it is The Ramones - She Talks to Rainbows. That's the song that will be played in my funeral also.

    Who dies?

    Whoever dies, they will die because someone stuffs a fork up their nose. I mean, that would be the most fantastic death ever! I hate the way Sirius died, it wasn't clear, it was just confusing in a bad way. Either way, I truly don't bother to wonder about these things until I have the book in my...

    Book Title...

    It's sort of hard to make suggestions to a book I've never read. I fi were you I wouldn't decide the title until the book was finished, it could be that you think of somethin as you write. usually I use a suitable song title as a working title to the story I'm writing. It's almost pointless to...

    Music while you are reading or writing. Life's Theme Song?

    I can't write without music, then I lose my consentration and start humming on some song, and that is very distracting. When I read I like to listen to Morphine, Libertines, Death Cab For Cutie or perhaps Counting Crows. But Morphine is my favourite when I read, and when I write too, actually...

    School Uniforms - Mandatory or not?

    School uniform are a big kick against visual individualism. As for the bullying and such, kids look for things to bully about and they choose to bully, if it's not someones shoes or clothes it will be their nose or the way the speak or walk, things that can't be hidden behind a school uniform...

    I'm a art/design/illustration-student. When I "grow up" I am going to be an art director/editor in Mojo magazine. At least that's what I'm aiming for, something like that.

    What do you use as a bookmark?

    I use either a cartoon-picture of an angry dwarf-man, which I cut out of a magazine, or I use a little black ribbon with safety pins in the ends of it. I never fold the corners. Well, I might if it's a library book, but that's just because I don't want to get emotionally attached to it. I...
