[QUOTE=Baron Samedi][size=1][color=darkred] Advice for you. Never ever ever ever ever make yourself write. If you can't think of anything...leave it. Forcing yourself to write is a horrible idea. You'll absolutely kill your work. Let it come. If it ends up that a few weeks go by and you haven't written anything...don't worry. It will come, or it won't. Being a writer is all about what you don't finish.[/color][/size][/QUOTE] My question for you is this: what happens when that block lasts for years at a time? If you really become frustrated, force yourself to write. But not on that story. Try peotry, or just short lil' blurps. Quite possibly, it'll start the flow of thought for your other projects and help you get them off the ground a bit more. I've been sitting idle for almost 4years now, trying tohold on and hope my block will pass. Only now am I sitting down and forcing myself to write something every day, and I finally think that chunk of ice in my head is starting to crack...

[quote name='Maikeru']Have you ever done anything sexual in public?[/quote] Does groping count? Cause I grabbed PT's groin on one occasion...and his *** on several others. As well as been groped by PT...isn't that fun! Lol. TRUTH!!! Have you ever walked in on your parents?

[quote name='Charles']You're being a tad compulsive. I hope you don't seriously consider silly revenge plots. What childish behavior.[/quote] Yes, Charles, because we all [I]really[/I] advocate the going out and getting a gun and shooting someone to death...or hiring people to kick the *** of an offending ex boyfriend. Though, I definitely think Mitch has put too much thought into this... -worries-

You hocked the necklace, right? How much it cost? -peers- I say you do it. Beat his *** down....or at least use the money from the necklace and pay someone to do it for you. Trust me, you'll feel bunches better once he's lying there in his own bloody bodily fluids and whimpering like a whipped dog. ^_^

......ok, that's just stupid that she would be kicked out for something she wrote in her personal blogger. Beyond stupid, that's damn ridiculous. It's her personal journal, she can write whatever she wants. Hell, she could write "I hate America and want Bush to die a horrible and painful death and all of us to become Communists," and there's nothing they could do about it. They have no right to kick someone out because of expressed racism (which itself is bad and wrong, but that's beside the point)...and if that's true, your little gang people should have been suspended a long time ago. I don't believe that's why she was sent home. Not for something written in a blogger and if that was indeed the case, American schools are more f---ed up than I thought...

....... he likes her, but she doesn't return the favor. And when the three of you were hanging out, he was crushing on you more than her... Just to add another factor in the mix: You ever think he was flirting with you to make her jealous? Girls are like that, you know... -nods- ADVICE: Keep your nose out of it. Find another boy to crush on. Love triangles are [U][I][B]not[/B][/I][/U] fun.

Though, knowing you, Alex, you're more upset they cut out Sara[i]h[/i] Conn[i]o[/i]r's (Happy now, freak? lol) breast shot during the love scene than anything else. ~_^ [QUOTE=PoisonTongue] Though, Speed's network broadcast was pretty memorable, "Forget you!"[/QUOTE] That does bring back memories of one morning watching "The Breakfast Club", where the punk dude is [i]screaming[/i] "NO! FORGET YOU! FORGET YOU!"

[quote name='Hataki Vash][size=1']And American Idol just because its American Idol, everyone loves it. ^_^.[/size][/quote] [Size=2]No. Just...no. If you seriously believe such, find your local mental hospital and commit yourself. Now. Anyway...the reality shows have gotten a little ridiculous. The original 3 Survivors were fun (even though I never saw the 1st one), and I'm very sad I miss All Stars (I'm in class Thursday nights), just because Jerry is there. After I lost interest in that, nothing really had any pull for me anymore. Add to that the fact they got into the relationship aspect of things which just...no. I'm not interested in watching sluts volley for the attention of the biggest jock from Hillside Valley High, thanks. Though I must admit, Blind Date is a fun watch. And I think someone mentioned "What Not To Wear," which is perhaps a big favorite of mine. Most of those TLC makeover shows are. But mostly I agree with Tony and Alex. Give me reality over reality TV any day.[/SIZE]

Just to get this out of my system: Anne McCaffery, while a very talented writer, is nothing but a sour old hag who needs to die a slow and agonizing death. Or at least be forced to realize the horrible mistake she made by forcing the majority of her greatest online fans off of Pern. And now that I'm come to terms with that. ^_^ So many choices. Do I dare mention Bastian from [U]The Neverending Story[/U], or Atreyu? Or Falkor, the luckdragon? There are just so many wonderful and creative characters in this book...and I am talking the book, this time. Alex gave it to me for my birthday, I'm almost done reading it. ^_^ And it's so different from the movie. If you ever have the chance to read it, I highly recommend it. Oh, god, a book I haven't thought of in years: [U]Dear Mr. Henshaw[/U]...I loved that book. It was the fist book I actually took home to read when I was in forth grade. And I liked its sequel, [U]Strider[/U] as well. Possibly [U]Strider[/U] more...simply because it was about the boy and his dog. ^_^ There was another book I read when I was in 4th grade. Oh, what a wonderful book. The young boy is blinded when a firecracker goes off in his face. And at first, of course, he's depressed. But eventually he is chosen to receive a service dog. And of course the dog helps him to grow strong and proud and to overcome his fears and insecurities. A little cliche...come on, I was in 4th grade. I still love that book, though. Such a wonderful message. Sadly, I can't remember the name. >_< -pulls out her old collection of books- Gah, they're all dusty! Lol. Let's see...Ooh! [U]Bridge to Terabithia[/U], good lord! I love the girl in that one. She was just...it was like she was everything I had wanted to be in my youth when I first read the book. [U]Maniac Magee[/U], come on. Who doesn't love Jeffery? [U]The Whipping Boy[/U]...Jemmy! Love Jemmy! He's such a witty character, I always laugh when I read this book. Now, I realize most of the titles I'm telling here are books that probably shouldn't even be mentioned along side of stories like the LotR and HP...and the other wonderful and "advanced" tales you've all mentioned. But you know what? These are the characters who, even after all these years (ha! What? 5 or 6?) have stuck in my head and inspired me. They gave me hope when I was a child that maybe I could find that inner strength in me and become a better person. I think that qualifies them enough, yes? Oh, and to add one more tally: Atticus Finch (Fitch? Finch? I really thought it was Finch) is definitely a noteworthy character. -nods- Oh yes indeed.

Well, I must admit that seeing the...mellow outlook of others on this topic, with the occasional light words, is helping to raise my spirits. I suppose it's a fear of growing older. For the past 3 years I've seen my birthday as getting another year closer to my death. Not exactly the outlook one wants on the world. >_< Seems that I'll be spending the middle part of the afternoon with my friend Joanna. And undoubtedly the night will be spent playing video games with PoisonTongue. ^_^ Let's see what my family has planned out for me, shall we? Lol.

[SIZE=2]Oh dear god, where do I start? When I first started writing, I was constantly looking up new names online. And then, when my siblings and their spouses started having children and there was an overload of baby name books in every house, I simply collected all of them and now have about 5 different baby name books stacked in my room. I collect little ceramic animal figurines. At first it was a shared hobby with some friends of mine. We would use them to create little stories and games of make believe. So of course every one had to have a name. Admittedly, some were more creative than others, but my personal favorite is a golden lab girl I had named Delilah as well as a collection of horses all named after places or characters from "The NeverEnding Story" movie. Sadly, we've stopped the games of make believe and naming each new one has become...well, really a nuisance. But the main characters from our games still have their titles. My friend has a black GameCube she calls Charcoal, and this inspired me to start calling my silver Cube system Pewter. Countless stuffed animals, all with names. Crayon (an original cat Build-A-Bear from [I]before[/I] BAB went global. It was just this dinky lil' cart in the nearby mall), Muddy (a post franchised BAB dog), larger ceramic creatures I painted in this class I took, Littlest Pet Shop Pets (anyone remember these? I loved them!), My Little Ponies, almost every single Pokemon I ever caught in the R/B/Y versions...now the critters I've adopted online at my website. As far as children go? Well, I'm always tossing that around in my head. - Lilith Jean - Lilith was the name of the first RPing character I ever created. It was the first female name I ever found in a baby book that seemed to jump out at me. Besides, lilies are my favorite flowers, and it tickles me that I can call her "My Little Lily." Jean is my mother's middle name, and I've always been fond of it. - Tobias James - Tobias comes from the [U]Animorphs[/U] books. Before I lost interest in the series, Tobias had been my favorite character. This later became the name of my first ever dragon rider, whose story can be found in the fiction forum. James...well, I always liked the name. And I think it flows well with Tobias. - Kennith Warner - Kennith spelled with an "ith." I was approx. 12 years old when I started thinking of the names of my children. I'm always hoping I'll be blessed with twin boys after the birth of Lily, and I realized if I wanted to name one son Tobias I needed to find a name for his brother as well. As much as I hate to admit it, inspiration did come from South Park and the "Oh my God! You killed Kenny!" joke. Warner...I believe I was watching Cartoon Network and the Warner Bros. logo came onto the screen. I said it over in my head...and I liked it. Kennith Warner. It makes my mother cringe, though. Lol. - Auryn - Auryn is the newest name, thought of only back in December. I've been doing a lot of inner searching of myself, and realized just how heavily the movie "The NeverEnding Story" influenced and continues to inspire my life. The Auryn, if you don't remember, is the symbol of The Childlike Empress given to the main character Atreyu at the start of his quest and is also seen on the cover of the story itself. I'm still looking for a fitting middle name, however. I laugh to myself sometimes and joke that I'll call her Auryn Moon Child, which is the new name given to The Childlike Empress by Bastian. Honestly, I don't think it sounds that bad...but I'd never curse my child with a name like that. ^_^; For a random fact: I once asked my parents what they would have named me if I had been born a boy. Though I can't remember the reason why, if had I been a boy my name would have been Peter. Now, for a random question: Does anyone else know what their "Gender Counter Name" is?[/SIZE]

Let's see...what can I say here? Squishyness : Though a shocker at first, I liked it from the start. It makes OB different and stand out. Tre cool. Collapsable Forums : That alone makes V7 rate a 10. Lack of Post Count Display: -bows down and worships- Thank you! Customable Member....thingie: -pays homage once again- May the Otaku gods be with you all! Neat Button Beside Member Name: Sweet. ^_^ Girl Who Complained: :flaming: for you. New Avie Size: Weee! More fun for me! Severe LACK of PoisonTongue Modshipness? : WRONG! BAD! No like! -points to avie- Not a happy camper am I! But other than that: Awesome job, people. ^_^ -puts on a black wooly coat and joins JCBaggee- Baaaa.

Ok, so I suppose in some way this could be seen as a pathetic attempt to announce I'm turning 19 on Sat the 21st ( ~_^ )...but in all seriousness, please read on. I'm the youngest of 4 kids. All of which are significantly older than I am. All of which are in or on their way to their thirties, much less 19. So I ask my siblings: "What was your 19th birthday like?" And my siblings replied "Well...you know? I don't really remember." Ok, I can understand that. "What was it like being 19?" Again...a vague haze seems to have settled on that year of their life. I myself am finding I'm constantly forgetting that my birthday is coming up. I've actually had to write it on my calendar "This is your birthday" because I will look at the day...and feel the sense I am forgetting something terribly important. What of the rest of you? I realize probably most of us haven't even begun to look towards our 19th birthday quite yet, but there are a few of you who have made it to this year and gone past it. What do you remember from it? What do you remember of other friends or family who have been 19? I am the only one who sees it as The Forgotten Year?

[URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=553248#post553248]First, read this.[/URL] Next, consider what I plan on doing for V-day. I'll wait... -waiting- Ok, time's up. If your answer was any of the following: a) Sulking b) Crying c) Loathing the Coupled People d) Hanging out with other Single Friends e) All of the above, plus perhaps a lot of video gaming and even more sulking You would be correct! Give yourself a sugar cookie! Then, be a doll and help me find a rock to crawl under until this damn day passes, would you?

Why I Hate V-day: The Ever Growing List 1) I always got the "Sympathy Card" at those grade school parties. They never [I]really[/I] wanted to give me a card, they just did because they had to. 2) I have never had a valentine for V-day. 3) I have never been a valentine on V-day. 4) I'm reminded about how glaringly single I am. 5) #4 happens. Every. Year. 6) People take some sick pleasure in saying to me "Lookit! Asshole #1 (who is not Asshole #1 in their head; only in mine) wants me to be his valentine this year! Tee hee!" 7) I'm bitter. 8) Repeat #2 9) Repeat #3. 10) Repeat #7. 11) Repeat #'s 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, and 10. 12) Repeat #11...several times. 13) And let us not forget to repeat #5...every year. Do you really need me to continue? -_- Yes, V-day is nice if you've got someone to spend it with. I've seen that with my own two eyes...that's why I'm so bitter about it. And I agree with James...V-day should be every day. But if that were the case, I probably would have committed suicide by now, so I'm very glad it's not.
