  1. I agree. That would be disastrous.
  2. I wish that were the case, but it is not. I live in the boonies, so there don't seem to be available men around here, at least none that are out in the open.
  3. You're right Gary. I intend to leave this town. I am making it one of my main goes in life right now. People will hear more about some others in the coming months.
  4. Good Charlotte "Hold On"
  5. Okay, I am addicted to real-time strategy games. Basically you build an empire, and then it is time to build up the army. Soon you start attacking other empires and taking them over. I happen to love this kind of game. I can play games like that for hours. One of them happens to be Rise of Nations. That is probably my favorite. I also liked Ages of Empire II. I used to play it for hours. Empire Earth was another good one. I think that one has the best ships. There are others. Ensemble studios is working on Halo Wars, a real-time strategy game based on the Halo Series. I am definitely looking forward to playing that one for hours.
  6. Edith Piaf "Hymne a L'Amour"
  7. I think the goat is not the only one who likes explosions. All this talk about bombs is worrisome. I think you all want violence and destruction, not that I've ever desired such a thing.
  8. I may have been over exaggerating a little bit.
  9. Neither do tigers. Jan, I wouldn't put it past him doing something so evil. He does seem to relish explosions.
  10. Well, it's similar here in Kansas. It's easy to get away with in college towns, but people in this town would probably kill me (and I mean literally) if I kissed a guy in public. I simply must get out of this closed-minded area.
  11. Martina McBride "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" TLC "Waterfalls"
  12. Kenny G "Songbird"
  13. Nah! I don't have the energy. The person below me wants to go to sleep but can't right now.
  14. I feel the same way Gary does about being unique. I also like being more cultured than the average guy. Most straight guys my age have never heard of Frederick Chopin.
  15. It may be but it in a good way Graeme. I don't know why, but I had not really thought about it. All they had to do was string words in Latin together to create the desired spells. That does not seem difficult. Now, if you have not read the final book, you should. What they do in that one is nothing short of amazing. They have to solve a puzzle that is quite complex, and that takes intelligence. Then again, bravery is not necessarily smart. It often leads to death, especially in the Harry Potter world. :wacko:
  16. Graeme, you pretty well summed it up. Burn out is the death knell to a story. I do not know everything about it, but I seem to remember a certain author who may be burned out. At that point, creativity is low or maybe even non-existent. Couple that with CJ's work, everything else he does here, and his personal life, there is only so much he can write. That goes for all authors really. If I get into a rush about writing, I simply cannot write. Write for your own enjoyment. Your fans will appreciate it.
  17. I happen to agree with Kit. There is no such thing as a perfect story. I could rewrite everything 10 times and have it re-edited 20 times and still not reach perfection. If someone actually wanted to find it, I'm sure someone could find something wrong with Harry Potter books and problems in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. All we can do is write the best we can. I struggled for a while, because I wanted the perfect word. Is it a good idea to use a thesaurus when writing? Of course it is, but do not let it destroy your creative flow or over use it to the point in which you cannot even recognize any of yourself in your writing.
  18. I bet you sound cute when you talk like that. Anyway, I will echo Kev's sentiments about safety. Don't be a fool; wrap your tool.
  19. That's way too little RAM. Anyway, times have changed. I wonder when RAM will be measured in terabytes.
  20. That's the best advice. Otherwise, the damn criminals can take you to court over the issue. As we found out in 41, killing in self-defense can still get you into deep s**t, because it has to be proven. It's not always east to prove either.
  21. I mean that his character is one.
  22. I'm thinking Guns 'n Roses, Godsmack, Korn, Megadeth, Papa Roach, Rob Zombie, Saliva, and Sevendust.
