[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1][FONT=Verdana]I don't agree with writing the whole story on the computer. I wrote my story by hand and then I was transferring it to my computer - and one day the harddrive just stopped working. We had to get a new harddrive and everything that was in it, I lost. So what if my [I]whole[/I] story had been on the computer? I would have been screwed and had to write it all over again. Back to the main point, J.R.R. Tolkien (brilliant man, I might add) took about 14 years to write Lord of the Rings. So, take your time. Nobody's rushing you - if you hurry, your writing won't be as good as it could have been if you would have taken your time. So don't stress. If something comes to you, write it down. And you usally get an idea in the strangest of places, also..the main thing is, don't rush it. You've got plenty of time.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]Hmm...I think i've definately been on the computer too much. I had a dream in the hour that I slept after breakfast this morning, I was on some computer and there were some viking-like men trying to get me to download something, and I did, it was like, their song or something, but they had multiple songs...and so when I downloaded the wrong one they went CRAZY and they sent out this snake thing that like, destroyed the computer and then went after me....but then I woke up. Weird. [/SIZE] [/FONT] [/COLOR]

[QUOTE=RPCrazy] Littlest Pet Shop Pets (anyone remember these? I loved them!), My Little Ponies, ?[/QUOTE] [COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Ah, Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Ponies! I remember some of the Littlest Pet Shop Pets...i named a cat Pepper, a little scottish dog named Scotty, the dog with the magnetic nose Ruff....My Little Ponies, I can't remember my names for those... Of course, Barbies...I had a name for every one of those, but doesn't everybody? Ironically, none of mine were named Barbie...my main barbie was named Karen...but Ken was Ken..I really couldn't think of any male names back then... I named all of my stuffed animals, one teddy bear that i've had since I was three's real name is Jessica, but she likes to be called Teddy (original, right?), Marshmallow, Rusty, Penny, and Boots (Penny & Boots came with names - those big beanie babies) all sleep in my bed, and I have an assortment of stuffed animals on my shelves...my beanie babies kept their names, it got so confusing if I named some dear another name, for example, because I would always forget which name I called her...yeah.. Madame Alexander dolls were a big thing for me too, but I stuck with the names that they came in, though...but back then I couldn't imagine the babies that didn't have hair were [I]girls[/I] so those babies were always men, dispite that they were named Victoria. In my spare time and when I start a new story, I always spend about a day just looking at baby names/baby name sites just to look for cool names and to see what my friends' names mean...it's a real time waster, though...[/SIZE] [/COLOR]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=Blue]Just some advice, try and avoid the names that have many different spellings. It'll drive the kid mad - me, for example, my name is Hayley - but as you could see, Hataki Vash spelled it "Hailey". Then there's also "Haley", "Hallee", "Hailee", "Haylei" and I could go on, but I won't... [B]Girls:[/B] Elle (I think it sounds pretty...i did not get it off of Legally Blonde..) Ariel (w/ stress on the "el") Jade Annie Maggie [B]Boys:[/B] Chris Ben James Peter ...there really aren't that many interesting boys names? English ones, that is...well, there probably is, but none that I can think of right now..hm..[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[color=blue][size=1]Ah, [b]Circéus[/b], THANK YOU for correcting that. It irked me as well. As much as I hate french, I like showing it off to my friends. And I always correct them, if I get a chance, but usually i'm bad with what verbs mean -- we're on food now and it's just.....bah.....knowing all of the fruits and vegetables and meats and dairy products and vinegar and all that other crap is just annoying...[/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]Well, the passe compose that we've been going over would be the irregular verbs (like mettre=mis, prendre=pris) and the Dr. Mrs. Vandertrampp verbs (the ones that you need to use etre as the helping verb like devenir, revenir, venir, mourir, monter, aller, arriver, naive, sortir, descendre, rentrer, rester, retrouver, entendre, tomber, partir, passer) and stuff like maigrir=maigri and manger=mangé and vendre=vendu. and then like, "I have had" is "J'ai eu" and "I am going" is "Je suis alleé" (the one that we've been working on the most...agh...) So...yeah...third year frenchie member...yay...[/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]Ick. Valentine's Day. Full of stereotypes and cheap holidays-- like Halloween. Aren't they the same? Only difference is that Halloween, you ask for the candy. On V-Day, it's just a common known fact that you're supposed to give it to other people because it's "special"...ugh.. I remember back in grade school, I would be up on February 13 trying to remember who all was in my class so I could give them a valentine and then scrounging up old Power Rangers valentines so everybody would get at least one. I stayed up past my bedtime (probably like, 9) and I was always so tired and then so dissapointing when the person who gave me the valentine didn't even write a message, just saying "To: Hayley, From: Blah". It didn't really feel that special. Middle school wasn't that much better. I think maybe we had a dance....not sure if I went to that or not, but I know that I was single on both consecutive years. I just hated the day because you were supposed to act all loving and caring and nobody really gave a damn about me in 7th grade and that was fine with me. People would fill out val-o-grams and would I get one? Nope. In 8th grade it was a bit better--I got like, 2 from my friends...but that was it. Hell, one girl even made a big statement by going completely goth on V-day. She was known to be really smart and sarcastic, but she always wore rainbow colors and stuff like that, but then BOOM! Black makeup and eyeliner, black skirt, black shirt....we were all like, WHOA. And the malls go crazy with all of the pink and red shirts with hearts all over them and I just see it as a big merchandise scandal just like all the other holidays out there. This year, again, I don't have a "date", but since V-day lands on a saturday, it doesn't really matter. But, of course, the val-o-grams and the carnations will be passed out, and will I get any? Nope, probably not. Not from a guy, that's for sure. Point is, it's just a hoax. I really don't like it, but I wouldn't go running around the school screaming just to prove my point. [/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]I only have one peircing in each ear at the moment, i'd like to have two or perhaps my cartilage peirced, but only by people that I really know and trust...I was thinking about getting my belly button peirced a while ago, and I think I may still do it, but I'm not that sure anymore. They look really good if done well, but i'm still not so sure. A lot of metal actually disgusts me. If somebody has them like, on their eyebrows + tounge + 7 on each ear + cheek or something weird like that...yeah, i'm grossed out. But a little bit is ok. But weird ones like the peircings that go through the middle of your ear?? ::shudder:: ...the guy that peirced my ears had that. I didn't really want to look at it. If somebody has just an eyebrow peircing, ::shrug:: that's cool. Tounge peircings aren't that flattering to me because of their speech impediment and their swollen tounge. Eh, that's just how I see it. [/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]Wow, [b]Isen`tar[/b], i would so rather put it to sleep than abandon it in the wilderness to just die alone and forgotten...I mean, think about it, if you were dying, how would you feel if your parents just drove you out to the forest and left you there? Pets do have feelings, they know what it's like to be treated wrongly, and I think that's just plain wrong. Put the cat to sleep. It's in pain. That's the easiest way to do it.[/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]I'm currently taking french, this is my third year, only one more year to go (yesss).....i've had only one good teacher--my first year-- but it's just gone downhill from there. We're on passe compose right now and she just will NOT stray from the topic!! aaghh....ma professeur de francais est tres penible. ::sigh:: I have a friend that is going to an all french school- she says that it's really different, but she learned french quicker that way. I could never really understand [i]why[/i] she did it in the first place...oh well....i prefer english, though...[/size][/color]

[color=blue][size=1]My favorite T-shirt would be my Trogdor one. For any of you that have been on homestarrunner.com, you would know. It' has the picture of Trogdor and under it it says "The Burninator!" everybody always comments on it when I wear it...it's a nice feeling. It's also a really cool shirt.[/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]Aahhh..Charles de Lint. Such a fabulous writer, and it's not at all just about magic like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. It's like...very modern. I mean there's like abuse, and drug use, and it's all very...non-cliche. I love The Onion Girl, and I highly suggest that all of you check it out. It's a fascinating book--i've been utterly consumed by it. The books are fat in volume, but I'm finding that I don't want it to end. Everybody who likes magic or fantasy or just likes READING needs to at least look at this book or any of the others on his list. [/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]I feel this way sometimes. I think to myself, Why me? Cliche, I know. I'm sure that everybody thinks this from time to time, i mean, not everybody is happy with their life. I've sometimes wanted my friends' lives, or a movie star's life, or just somebody else's besides mine. But I'm happy with it in the end.[/color][/size]

[color=blue][size=1]I like online relationships, simply because they don't really know whats going on IRL. If you had a problem with one of your friends, you couldn't ask one of your other friends that was friends with the one you were mad at about what to do, if you wanted to keep it to yourself. Who do you come to for aid? Parents? Noo. (well, if your parents are nice and sweet--then go ahead) Your online friends would be my best bet. They're the unbiased answer that you're looking for. Now, for relationships, I don't know about that. I don't really care for meeting IRL, just because I'm always paranoid that the other person really isn't who he/she says he/she is and then it all goes downhill from there. But there's nothing wrong with having friends online. It's not impossible--friends are people that you come to with your problems without any fuss from them, and people that listen to you, and make you laugh, and [cliche]are that shoulder that you cry on[/cliche]. I say OK for online friends.[/color][/size]
