    New Years plans 2007

    LOL. Poor you.

    Randomness! Yay!

    My friend Oriana just gave me a gorgeous oriental wall hanging. It's really cool. BTW, Vesp, I let her on the forum today when I saw her, and she said she was impressed by how mature some of your posts sounded and couldn't believe your age. I keep saying we need to get the two of you...

    Who here speaks more than one language?

    I suppose not. I'm planning on buying an Esperanto-English dictionary, so I'll tell you if I ever find out. But there's a difference between him and her in English and we don't have feminine and masculine words, either, except for those that deal specifically with gender. And pronouns, of...

    I Will Not Weep

    I'm the noble person who you gaze upon as you say, "I wish could be like her."

    The Revolutionary Cycle

    I like it. It's very different from your usual poems. They're usually more "this is happening to me" but you start off with an image and metaphors and continue with them. Good job. I shall award you with a kitty smiley. =^-^=

    The Law of the Jungle

    I just had my friend read this today while I was over at her house. She loved it, and read it out loud on the phone to another friend. First, of course, I had to show her some of the old manuscriptx threads. Since I wasn't signed on and it was her computer, I could still see them.

    Cornelia Funke: Dragon Rider

    Still absolutely appalled at the weak plot in Dragon Rider over here. At the moment, I'm quite unwilling to give her another chance. Stroud, Rowling, Colfer, and Paolini were so much better that making a book intended for an audience younger than I am is no excuse.

    Should eyezOnme be banned?

    I'd like to retract my previous comments about "giving people a second chance" because I just checked back at the thread in question and realized eyes0nme is a plagiarist. I'm shocked that anyone could sink that low and am all for it now. This has escalated even further than I had previously...

    If i liked the bartimaeus trilogy...

    Did you read Sandman, by chance? If you did, what did you think of it? I'm not done with the series yet, so no (intense) spoilers for the last couple books.

    Why Can't Female Writers Write?

    Smila, please don't leave over this. It really isn't worth it. There are plenty of intelligent people on this forum--and I think the mods are a bit careful for the reasons they ban someone and things haven't escalated to that point with this. There have been cases where people were banned, I...

    Planet Earth

    It's something I might be interested in, yes. I don't get around to watching BBC-America a whole lot but we might also have it here on Animal Planet.

    Question Game

    French toast. I love how it smells when it's cooking, the melted butter and all. And it's the most satisfying thing to put in your mouth. J.R.R. Tolkien or C.S. Lewis?

    Question Game

    Piano, because it's the only one that I do decently. What's your favorite kind of mythology?

    Question Game

    Nene Thomas. Her fairy artwork is just so amazing...I'd give anything to paint like that. What bothers you more, scary movies that are scary because they're gory, or scary movies that are scary because they're creepy?

    Question Game

    Fahrenheit 451. It opened my eyes to how wonderful literature is, how easily it could disappear, and overall was just a damn good book. Um...let's see...who's the last person you want to see turn up at your front door? (Losing creativity, I am.)

    Premiere's Top 20 List

    I think Wizard of Oz was a good book and a bad movie. I like the Emerald City, and I liked Somewhere Over the Rainbow--that's it. As for Moulin Rouge...no. Just no. Its musical numbers were recycled, and the plot was garbage. The sets were pretty, but that was the only good thing about...

    Why Can't Female Writers Write?

    I suppose that's a very valid point. Is that true, BTW, about the awards? Personally, I don't really pay attention to the what sex the author of a book is when I'm buying it. Unless you're reading a sex scene, you can't really tell the difference anyway.

    This is getting vicious. I hope none of us have kids.

    Planet Earth

    What are they about? I've heard of them but don't know much about them. Much here maning anything. :)
