Ok, I admit, it was. LOL I'm not really very punny. BTW, Hollaburoo.. dashing! Seriously!

LOL, I actually just looked up the drow phrases heh. I have only read one RA Salvatore book ever, and it wasn't set in the forgotten realms universe. No drow But I play a lot of dungeons and dragons games. And I really like the artist who does the cover designs for RA Salvatore's books. I know. I don't like Dan Brown that much actually, though when I first read The Da Vinci Code, I really liked it. The fact that he claims everything is true, however, was way too much to claim, even for gullible moi. LOL. RE: Angels and Demons, yeah Antimatter? :wacko: But yes, it was captivating. I liked the fact that I didn't even notice that the title of the book itself was an ambigram when I first started reading it. LOL. It was only when I encountered the description of the first ambigram in the book that I did a double take and peeked back at the cover. He may be a charlatan, but he's still an awesome writer. Heh Oh yeah, add this to my list: Robert Fulghum - Everything I ever needed to Know I learned in Kindergarten!

Are you sure he's a boy then?! LOL j/k Congrats!

The excitement mounts. 6 more months! LOL But yeah Rakuten. Mom comes first. Ahoy captainrick! Yonder pistol looks mighty dangerous.

menzo: I knew it! Udos zhal tlu abbilen, cal abbil! Lloth tlu malla. sacha: Actually, I find Deception Point pretty shallow. From a scientific point of view (I'm an amateur fossil collector), it's totally implausible. I liked Angels and Demons though, better than The Da Vinci Code.

LOL. Some people just fit in the stereotypes too well.

LMAO You could be an awesome storyteller! I agree 'Je t'aime' makes me tingle everywhere. 'Te quiero' too. 'Ti amo' is actually Italian, but I don't pretend to be an expert since there are a lot of variations within Spanish - Castilian (with the distinctive 'th' sound for 'z'), Catalan, Galician, etc. 'Te amo' is too formal for everyday use. It's like saying 'I loveth thee' in English. LOL

I find 1st person easier. The switch from 1st to 3rd person has been hard on me. :S I'm still recovering.

Mine's Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. His poem Jabberwocky is my favorite poem. Also.. hmm.. Jeff Long - Descent and Robert McCammon - Swan Song EDIT Ok... since they had lists! LOL Sidney Sheldon - If Tomorrow Comes Philip Jose Farmer - The Unreasoning Mask Sarah Zettel - Fool's War William Gibson - Count Zero most of Ursula LeGuin, everything I've read by Tanith Lee, Arthur C. Clarke, Carl Sagan, Stephen King... etc.

I just remembered The Ditty Bops - There's A Girl, is about Lesbians. ^^ I love them

This is a more realistic view of the situation. I agree. I mean, how much percentage of the gay population is still in the closet? (Like I am) That is one statistic that can never be reliably measured, I think. This is what I felt when I first joined last August, I was uber-paranoid. I would only peek in GA to add/edit my stories and then log off again. I did relevant communication mostly by PM and some posts asking for help on how to get an Author status (Thanks to Joe and Kevin! ). Then little by little I began to get curious. I posted in the welcome new members thread 2 months after I registered. I began to read about people with the same experiences as mine. I started threads to clear up some of the remaining confusion in me, then voila! I'm now a fully grown postwhore! Kidding!!! But seriously yeah, that was how I felt. Also adding to my paranoia was the fact that GA's forums, main page, efiction, etc. all had the gigantic words: GAY written all over it. Heh. I'm still paranoid even now, but less so.

Why not on IRC? We could hijack a channel in Quakenet. In fact we could do it now! LOL. I like IRC coz it could be minimized to your system tray.

Or Enrique, or just Rick in itself, or Rico, or Ricardo. LOL... My nickname is usually 'Ric', pronounced Rick. I prefer Dick for Richard.

I usually don't worry about finals, or any exams for that matter. I just read everything that seems relevant and play PC games or do something fun most of the times. Then an hour before the exam. I FREAK OUT AND CRAM!

ROTFL!!! That was friggin FUNNY! And they actually kissed! Tiger, we're gonna have to duel to the death for the one with the short hair!
