  1. I haven't read the 3rd book yet, so I don't know if I can give a complete opinion. But I thought the movie was okay...some of right emotions and tension was missing though, IMO, i.e. Katniss and Peeta scenes were quite flat. Also, there wasn't enough explanation for people who haven't read the book (although I don't know how they could have done that without making the film long and boring!). Also, Katniss. She's awesome sometimes....and sometimes she a slightly less pathetic version of Bella (based on her Gale/Peeta dilemma). Great.
  2. Listening to this and not working Also, prefer the lyric video to the actual video...
  3. I can't do everything I want on a tablet - i.e. use specific software like full featured MATLAB. I don't have a particularly long commute, and I don't travel too much as student etc. so the portable uses of the tab don't make sense for me. I can do a lot of stuff on my phone already - particularly GPS since it seems that I was born without a sense of direction Once I start work though, I'd probably get a tab for my expected 1 hour commute for browsing, reading, Facebook, Twitter etc. and the same at home if I don't feel like starting up the laptop. Doubt I'd use it for movies, music or games though...I like those on my console, TV and mp3 player. As to what type of pad I'd get - Android because I'm used to it and some of the Android tabs are cheaper than the iPad or Windows 8 tabs. Also, I'm massively dependent on Gmail, Google Calendar etc. and don't really want to make the switch, and I don't need anything as elaborate as Windows 8 would offer. All work stuff would be done on a company laptop anyway, so the tab wouldn't ever play a role there. And if all tablets start costing the same as ultra-portable laptops - say £800+, don't think I'd be getting one! I'd just go for the Kindle or some other ebook reader.

    Chapter 33

    I remember reading almost the whole Chronicles over winter break, obsessively with my best friend. I think at one point she said something like "wow, that's exactly like what goes in my head," and I just laughed at her for thinking like a 15 year old gay boy I can't believe how long this is! I really like it, but am hoping for some closure now (for Billy's sake of course!) hehe
  5. *looks at Gene Splicer PHD and hh5* ._. *runs away from thread*
  6. So basically like jamessavik said, stay away till all the bugs are fixed
  7. Actually, you should totally go ASAP. I went with family this winter, and it was perfectly safe. It would actually be better to go now, because usually Egypt is full of tourists and the crowds are awful at the more famous attraction. Right now, everything's relatively deserted and its like a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Egypt without it being to hectic!
  8. Well, on a phone its easier to browse the web on a touchscreen rather than with direction keys/an alpha numeric keypad IMO. And I have mixed feelings about it being used for navigation on a desktop environment. However, touchscreen is awful for getting any work done if it's based around typing. And I don't think it'll be great for certain specific kinds of design work.
  9. 1. Congo 2. Ecuador 3. Cook Islands 4. USA (to visit the best friend!) 5. The Philippines (been there before, loved it, really wanna go back)
  10. Well I'm a slightly OCD neat freak...but let's not go there. Instead - I hate it when people say they won't judge you, or ask you to not judge them! How is that even possible?? Yes, you're going to say things, and I'll just turn of my brain till you're done...and not think about what you just told me. At all. EVER.
  11. So not an improvement over Windows 7 then? Is this is because they wanted to make cross platform? I don't like how touchscreens are taking over everything...

    I agree with what other people have said already about your writing and the characters. I'm just happy to be reading something that's set in England, as opposed to the States! And I don't usually read stories that are in process so
  13. Well I'm a gamer, but I make a point to stay away from WoW, don't really need find more ways to procrastinate!
  14. I actually kinda laugh about it now. I knew I liked guys and told myself that I was gay when I was around 13. I then decided I would never tell anyone, and I convinced myself I could do this because I liked girls too. It didn't occur to me for quite a while that I might be bi, probably not until I was 15/16. Took me until summer last year to actually come out and tell people, although that was how I planned it. My family won't react well at all, and I needed to make sure I'd be financially independent, finish uni etc etc before letting the cat out of the bag. I've date girls before, although quite a few of my close friends weren't really that surprised when I told them
  15. I've read quite a few of your stories as well. "Second Shot" is the one I remember best. Hopefully I'll get round to reviews! Sorry to disappoint you andy021278 but I'm not a Brit Just happen to be living in England right now, going to uni here Thanks, I'm looking forward to meeting all kinds of interesting characters now

    Chapter 6

    "If you read this far, you must have an opinion. Please post a review." I'm reviewing because of your emotional blackmail Really like the story, and like a lot of people pointed out, the sex scenes felt natural and not something forced into the narrative. Also, I think there could have been a little more nuanced character development, although I may just be feeling that way because I'm trying to read the whole story in one night.
  17. Hi everyone, Just thought I'd post and introduce myself. I've been reading stories here for a while but never got round to setting up an account. I really love the site and the stories helped me deal with my own sexuality, so I kind of wanted to send out a thank you as well
