layla

ohhh now that was one i hadn't heard in awhile. Thanks AJ!

So all the talk about music in chats the last few nights has me posting the playlist I'm currently writing to while working on Broken Prince and Mismatched Eyes. I'll post the playlist for Roadhouse Reds as soon as I have one pulled together, maybe that one is flowing so slowly because it doesn't have a playlist yet lol So yeah, anyone wanting to suggest songs for that one or good songs to write by, throw some my way! Playlist for Broken Prince -Broken (Seether) -Monster you Made (Pop Evil) -Every Storm Runs outta Rain (Garry Allen) - Hurt (Johnny Cash)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHnlhxfhKWM - if you could read my mine (Johnny Cash) - I drive your truck (Lee Brice)http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=T3rXdeOvhNE&NR=1 -Photograph (nickleback) -Many Rivers to Cross (Jimmy Cliff) - The Lost Boy (Greg Holden) - Lips of an Angel (Hinder) - Sorry (Buckcherry) - On the Turning Away (Pink Flyod) - Something i can never have (NIN)

You certainly have me curious to read more. I like the story told with the tea, it reminded me of sitting with my mom and some of her friends when i was younger and drinking tea with milk in it and listening to them gossip and tell stories of the places they'd seen and how things where when they were growing up. Looking forward to reading more.

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.

Bravo Mann!!! Congrats!

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

Yes, on the stupidest charge known to man. Loitering. I was with a group of friends, we'd pulled into a dunken donuts in fall river mass, and it was full inside the place, (as well as out in the parking lot, there was a huge group of people hanging out about 50 feet away) so me and the other chick went in to get coffee and donuts and left the guys in the car. we came out, started passing around stuff, and sat, eating the donuts, when the cops pulled in (called because of the big group in the lot) and we got arrested right along with them. We beat the charges though (after several hours in jail, bail, bailing out the impounded car, and having to explain to my mom - whose car was the one impounded- what had happened) after showing the reciept for the food and drinks and pics of the car when we went to pick it up before court to show that the coffee was spilled int the car from where it had been towed. I have not been back to fall river since. Same Q

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

I think it really depends, person to person. For me, I am not sure that I would finish a story if i wasn't posting as i went along. The interaction with the readers and the feedback is motivation to stay on task, maybe it shouldn't be that way, but I can have some real add moments when i have no reason to be focused on something. I post chapter to chapter, at the start, but usually end up writing ahead for what I'm posting as time goes on.
