I like the way that this is progressed, its great that Jo can listen and give advice, as well as share his own experiences, it is a great way to bring them closer as well as learn more about Jo. Dimitri i am still kind of up in the air about, he seems nice, but i almost feel as if it is more an act than anything. Guess i will have to wait and see.

I am really loving this story, the interactions between the two convey great emotions. The pace things are unfolding at seem very natural, very eager to read more.

Battleship

SO SO true lol. I am guilty of this as well.

I am so loving this story, ryan's nervousness is beautifully captured and having ti broken up by the phone was a great touch. Looking forward to more.

Those wings are dangerous lol. But that was such a beautiful line at the end "he is my heart" that just sums up their relationship perfectly.

Actually, from the documetaries i have watched with my son, it was a POS even by the standards of the times, they had better grade steel, but it was more cost effective to use the lesser grade, which, once cold, was even more brittle than the next grade up. Considering the type of water conditons they would be going through, that was a poor choice right there, plus, the deviders between the watertight bulkheads were not designed to go floor to ceiling, they stopped part of the way up, which allowed water to flow over the tops filling more compartments than could safely be filled to keep the ship afloat. I know there were more flaws to it as well, so yeah, following the original designs is the makings of another sinking ship.

ummm why can't i help but feel like we've seen the ending to this already, the band plays while the ship goes down...again

I am loving this, the interactions between the two are amazing, i cannot wait to see what happens next, and what those perscriptions are for.

Oh boy, lots of emotion in the reveal from gabriel, its good to know he wasn't a complete and utter jerk and Passa'el using the rainbow energy to let him assend as an angell again really showed the depth of his heart and his love for Uzzy. I too am curious about the question at the end and look forward to seeing what comes next

stay strong mark

Hugs Joann. While I'm not at the place where you are yet, I am finding that as my kids get more and more independent, especially my son who will be 16 this year, that I have started thinking about what it will be like to no longer have that daily interaction with them that I've grown so used to having. i have been a mom now for almost half of my life, and it's hard to remember at times what it was like to not have anyone but myself to look after day after day. I think turning to a beloved hobby, like writing, is a good idea, and maybe even thinking about the things you've always wanted to learn about or try and giving some of them a shot. I have to admit that I cried when my daughter (she's 9) said she wanted to go to camp and didn't want me to be a volunteer this time. While I felt proud of her for having the courage to want to go with the other girls, I was sad that she wanted to venture away without me when she'd always asked me to chaperone before. I guess as moms, it hard to think that we're going to have to let go, even if it is just a little.

I don’t want to do my homework, I find it difficult to care about my assignments for the week, I am apathetic to the point where procrastination has become my one friend, and yet, I only have five days left of the class. Logic would say just go ahead and hurry up and get stuff done, but I can’t, because I cannot find the motivation to care about the stuff I was assigned to do. I have a low A at the moment, I never expected to get better than a B out of the class, so of course, I sit here and tell myself that I have wiggle room to mess up, because it’s hard to be motivated to do stuff you’re told over and over is wrong anyway. Maybe that’s the biggest part of my frustration with the class, going into it knowing it was a weak subject for me and one I had little interest in but needed to pass as it is a requirement. Looking at the first weeks assignments I was immediately put off by them, and that just grew and grew week after week until not caring became outright anger at some of my classes. Couple that with lack of sleep though, and all that anger and frustration has been a downer this week, leaving me close to tears on a constant basis two days in a row. I just want this done, I want this over with, I want my time free to actually do stuff I care about doing again, I want the snow to stop, I want to get out into the woods, I want to take pictures, I want to go hiking, I do not ever ever ever want to draw another stupid human based character because those do not interest me in the slightest. I get it, I do, they want us to be well rounded, they want us to be able to pick up a model sheet and be able to follow it, but I am more of an idea person, concept art, not the actual animation, I’ll come up with the ideas, the character sketches, the backgrounds, the scripts, I’ll edit, I’ll do exposure sheets, I’ll do sound effects, ect, ect, I just do not ever plan to be the person who has to draw the same thing over and over because repetition is NOT my friend when it comes to that. You ever wanna see a person freak out and come up with 115 different things they can do to avoid doing something, give me a task where I have to repeat a process over and over and over. My concentration and focus just goes right out the window, and my stubbornness sets in and with me stubborn and angry go hand in hand and then I’m trying to think up ways to calm down before I have a meltdown and leave myself grouchily unable to do anything. Have been somewhere between depressed and ranting/raving lunatic all week, culminating in this rant, which is yet another bit of procrastination on my part as I do not want to do tonight’s assignment either. When this class is over on wednsday night, I have a bottle of SoCo in the corner with my name on it, and I plan to see just how much of it can be consumed in a siting. So um, to those reading my rant, thanks for letting me rant.

Okay...sooo gripping my seat here, sooo trying NOT to freak out that someone might have died.... amazing chapter, but, but...omg Luke can't be an orphon!

:Vic2: :Vic2: :Vic2: Happy Birthday Curti :Vic2: :Vic2: :Vic2:

Wow, ummm just wow, Yettie, I'm a bit speechless over here, thank you so much for such an awesome review

I'm with Cassie and Joann, I wouldn't want a pill to make me 100% anything, I like who I am.

Tell that to the kids who work their tails off every wrestling season, hoping to go to a school where wrestling is big, just so they can have a chance at the olympic trials. Wrestling is huge where i live, bigger even than football, and reading about it being dropped is a shame.

My roomies and I will have our annual anti-valentines movie night, which usually ends up being horror movies or action flicks. One roomie will make dinner, the other will handle the drinks and I'll bake a pretty pink cake, made to look like there are holes stabbed in it and blood oozing out, and we'll just hang out. Valentines day is too commercial, its not like you can really go anywhere and have a nice private meal because everywhere is packed with people looking to spend as much money as possible as quickly as possible just to try and prove something to the other person. My daughter passes out cards each year, and pesters her brother with questions about who he gave a valentine too. All in all, a fun day here. I made fleece tie blankets this year for everyone in the house, as gifts, since it's still really cold here. But no flowers, and no chocolates in this house lol.

This had some wonderful humor to it, i love the dynamics between the characters. I am looking forward to reading more.

Man i have never screamed and cussed so much watching a single game! That was epic

I ran into the same issue last night and pasted my text into notepad, saved it, then cut and pasted it from there into GA and it was formatted fine. Try that, hopefully it will work the same for you.

It did make them laugh to see me down there, and my oldest decided to give me the lecture about homework i usually give him, when he came down and caught me surfing the net instead of drawing On a positive note though, week 1 grades came in this morning, and i have a 91, so at least i'm not failing it which was really a huge fear before i started working on the revisions. Thanks for all the hugs and support guys, they really help. 4.5 more weeks to go, yey, then this class is done, thats the only good thing about the classes at my school, they are only five and a half week long.

Yeah, it is a seriously sucktacular class. I redid one assignment already, and just got his feedback on it saying that there were still some things that needed to be changed and redone before shooting, so now i get to do it a third time. This is seriously getting to be annoying and from reading his feedback to others, I'm not the only one, I wonder if we can mutiny.
