  1. If CJ... sorry :king: The Queen Of The Evilest Cliffhangers :king: did that her/his majesty would probably come join us anyway, who doesnt want to have a bit of a party down in sydney, maybe we could even convince vladamir and dimitri to come aswell
  2. Excellent chapter CJ gogo Chase and Brandon, Helen again shows she is definitely a force to be reckoned with I still want to kick Jon's and Eric's butts though :2hands:
  3. Another great chapter CJ they kissed I have to agree with people and it will be about Jon and Eric and the article probably being about them in the limo and with the girls, Im not entirely sure this incident will out Chase and Brandon though ive got a feeling Helen might be able to cover it up through damage control though i recon it will defiantly come out before phoenix. Chase rules that has to be the best and most evil method of revenge ever
  4. i just had a look and i dont think Erics actual age is metioned anywhere just that hes somewhere between 18-21 though it seems like that its either 19 or 20 since you kinda get the feeling hes right in the middle of the other brothers
  5. bah must of just missed them, i was actually out at the air port today, i could of taken them out to see the sights.... heh who am i kidding brisbane doesn't have sights we are just a gateway to everywhere else in queensland, as for the traditional welcome im sure they've heard all about drop bears by now
  6. Great Chapter, though all ill say for now is damn Helen!
  7. I'm going to go for somewhere near Darwin(or round the top end generally, thinking maybe Kakadu), they seem to be going to all these iconic and characteristic places around the world and whats more famous and iconic about Australia then the Outback, Sydney could be it because of the opera house but i really doubt it
  8. It is sad, though at least while the final book of the Wheel of Time series "A Memory of Light" is not complete there are sufficient notes to finish it, it would be tragic in a way if a series that he committed so much of his life to (11 books, well 12 including the prologue) never reached its completion.
  9. Didnt end up going to the ER i dont think but the most embarrassing hospital experience was when i was 9 and i managed to break my arm in a Jumping Castle(which is embarrassing enough) my parents didnt believe it was broken either so i didnt end up going in till the next day. The funniest part was just before i went to have it x-rayed my older brother managed to convince me that when your arm gets put in a cast, the way the cast removed is with a giant saw and that the doctors sometimes slip and and people lose limbs. So naturally when the doctor told me id have to have my arm in a cast, i took off running out of there like a bat out of hell. My older older brother still tells the tale of going up the escalator into the hospital only to see me coming bolting down the other way being chased by a couple of nurses, i managed to get all the way outside and onto the street before they tracked me down
  10. In Australia it is currently if you have engaged gay sex or had sex with someone who might be bi in the last 12 months your not supposed to give blood

    Music

    mmmmn.... i agree with alot of the music here, my favourate genre/ subgenre at the moment though would have to be psytrance...for those who havnt heard of it, it is as the name sugest psyadelic trance, kinda like regular trance but with alot more sound and veriation it also mixs with classical alot, ne1 who loves electronica/ trance should check it out... good band is infected mushroom. love classical as well though getting into the planets series recently what else is good, like floyed, zeplin, eagles, simon and garfunkle, love jazz though i dont have much of it really, only the verve compliations and a few random albums, funk is good as well, so are break beats and Drum and Bass, well i like basicly and thing you can dance to.... nirvana is allright on occasions when im in the mood....... i hate radio head with a vengance, the music is allriight i just want to rip out the lead singers vocal cords but yes neway......oh yeah i also dispise R'n'B (well the modern definition of it anyway) and Rap some other random good artists: John Butler Trio Xavier Rudd Cat Empire Faithless Crystal Method Fat Boy Slim Propellerheads Jihad (aka pacifier) Jeff lang the Waifs Powderfinger Astrix Astral Projection Way Out West Aphix Twin Michal Franti Cafe Del Mar (i know its not a actual artist or bad but its a dammn good set of compliations) there more but i cant think of em right now
  14. i have 9, which i think is all i would ever need, 3 sneakers/ casual, 2 dress shoes, 2 hikeing boots and 2 flip flops.... i never really understood the shoe fixation, my mother is completely excessive though, she has like 52 different pairs of shoes, i mean really why do need so many shoes, she never wears most of em, she recently had why parents wardorbe expanded cos shed run out of space to store all her shoes
  15. same with australia... lol, where gay marriage cant be allowed for it would "threaten the servival of australia" and prevent us from preforming our national duty which is to have childern.... well at least ocording to Jhon Howard (the primeminister) and Peter Costello (the tresurer) anyway.... lol, i remember my mum being so pissed when they said that
  16. thats crazy.... ive been to a grand total of 6 including aust, and 2 of those i didnt even leave the airport at. im in awe of ur worldliness yeah i though, germany and italy at least were a part of the EU, might just mean all the much smaller europien countries, but then wheres france
  17. wow, im really suprised australia ranked second, considering we have a much small populas than allmost every other country on there
  18. in my experince as a reader stories burning themselves out happens due to any of a number of things... somtimes because the story line just starts to move far too slow, with nothing new happening (this usaly happens to the stories that are made to carry on indefinatly) or the story begins to have too many character focuses loseing its central focus (the weel of time series by robert jordan is in my opinion huge example of both of these)
  19. great chapters i cant wait for the next ones, dont keep em too long coming
  20. great chapter i cant wait for the next one
  21. thanx paul, that actualy make alot more sense ull have to tell me what that story is and where and when you are goin to post it i will really be interested in reading the rest of it
  22. hmmmn.....ive been thinkin bout this one and ive come up with a later note... i think, speaking from experance, a writer cant effectivly convay an emotion unless he has experinced the emotion with close to that particular strenght. for instance i find when im reading some stories where writers are trying to convay deep seated depression with sucidal tendancies it just doesnt come off efectivly even though some of these writers are obovioulsly extremely skilled, they dont seem to convay the true power of some of these types of emotions because, if my view is correct, they dont really understand them. i find that the instances of these emotions seem to be steryotipical in nature and are genraly very off putting when being read by someone who has experinced those emotions in their full force. i also find that these desription may allow you to symptahise with the character they dont allow you to empathise with him. .......just some thoughts.
  23. i think the strength that an emotion is convayed comes largely from the desription of a charcters "feelings" themselves. think of how u "feel" when griped with a certain emotion, e.g. when your embarssed u feel like "crawling into a couner to hide." this is a commonly assioated "feeling" with the emotion so the reader can relate to this. also it is important to keep all the characters thoughts and actions consistant with the emotion e.g. when your character is very agry his thought process isnt goin to be very rational and his actions dont nessesrly need to be very well justified. he is also not goin to go on a big deep and meaningful speech about why he is upset (keep those for afterwards), his dialoge is likely to be agressive and probably to some form abusive. also i think it is important not to be too consentrated on just the singular emotion in all likelyhood a character is goin to be feeling several at once insted of just the one.
