Simas, I meant to say: don't discard the idea of your Walmart sentence. You're trying to describe the sterility and stupidly inane design layout, where you can walk into one store and it could be anywhere in the world. I appreciate that feeling IMMENSELY. There are no Wal-Marts in Australia...

When I'm in a place where I can't read/carry an actual paper book, I use my iPad. My eyes just prefer the colour screen.

Hi guys! I just finished sending the photos to the remaining two--As pics were the order of the day, I will leave it up to them if they want to post the pics of my line edits/suggestions, or tell me to go screw myself. *laughs* I'm now caught up *happy dances* Aaaaand, there is a long-weekend...

Troll.... I shall share my thoughts on darling Lily tomorrow, because I am tired after spending 4 hours in the car today >_< Gotta say, I like the name Lily, thoughI had a kitty named Lily once !

Hi Kinkle- Thank you so very much for your patience. I want to say, ahead of talent, skill, determination, luck, connections and everything else that comes with this ever-changing industry, patience is one of the greatest traits you must possess to truly succeed. Yes, a great deal of...

Simas: First impressions, as I get only a few sentences in:Wow, is this some product-placement challenge from a writing class?I thought, perhaps, you were attempting to pay homage to the early work of William Gibson in novels such asNeuromancerandCount Zero. If that was the case, you fell...

Good evening all! I hope you all have had wonderful weekends I have my hardcopies printed out (it's a quirk I still hold to when I have multiple pieces to assess) and I shall be posting my thoughts for you later tonight/in the morning depending where you are "See" you soon!

Kinkle, I have just realised I've been terribly rude and completely forgot that you had posted a new story to be looked at. >_< If it had been a viper, I'd have been dead long ago! Did you still want some feedback on your ideas, and if so, what sort of feedback? Style, tone, structure, etc; or...

I worked with two men that this happened to--one married her and has been happily married for about 20 years, and the other one turned into a giant dickhead and makes his ex-girlfriend's & his daughter's life as difficult as he possibly can. Funny how it brings out either the best or worst in a...

I'm just curious...what part of the subject starts the rustling ? Is it the issue, the way people react, the shitstorm the media has made? etc. Could you elaborate a little more on your jimmy-distress?

Legal writing...I tip my hat to you, sir! I have always struggled with things like legal, biomed, scientific, etc. My ex-husband's honours thesis was an anthropological paper and a close friend of mine just published her first peer-reviewed paper ( "An Acute Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled...

So I installed it, and after the few moments of melancholia and laughing at old craziness, I sort of sighed and I don't know if I can be bothered re-learning it, even though I know it will be fun. It is just so...well, it's still an ugly game, and if I am going to while away hours when I should...

Never have, never will. I know how horrendous it feels when someone you love has an affair (even just a one-night stand) and I couldn't put someone else through the pain and doubt and loneliness that creates, let along the mental scars that can stay with you!

Here you go, FailleThanks so much for your patience-- I hope this helps with what you were looking for ---------- Okay, hullo! I've thought a lot about this in the past few days, and I'm actually thankful you asked for just general impressions and suggestions, rather than in-depth...

I have every handheld Nintendo console (in the Zelda special eds if available,) but I just can't bring myself to spring another $400AUS for a console that I will only use to play the revamped OoT. I confess to using a R4 with my DSLite; due to my rpg obsession it is sooo much easier when I am...

Weird question...what "level" is Scholomance? Original or 5-man?

Fucking women who think being female gives them the excuse for willful ignorance. "Oh, I just let my boyfriend/husband do X; you know how X is a guy thing. Women can't understand it." Also, the pregnancy-is-a-handicap card. Yes, there are some women who legitimately have high-risk...

Wow, what a flashback! I was a Councilor on Catskills and Oceania when it opened, way back in the day. I remember I was the only oneonlinefor NYE 1999/2000 and my call queue went from 0-30+ between 11:59 and 12:01 just from people wanting to say hello. I might even still have my smurf docs...

Initial read through: very intriguing concept. Is this meant as a stand-alone preface, or an excerpt, or one of those pieces where you sit down to write and discover where you are going when you get there? (Often, those are the best kind of writing sessions!) Proper feedback shortly, as I...

Anytime! Happy to be of assistance, and more than happy to answer any questions you may have

Not that it has anything to do with this conversation, but no. Pretty strange question in a thread about writing and editing.

...hmm, so it seems I really *have* frightened people away! This is why editors' friends are usually clients, writing partners, or other editors. We are easily interpreted as meanies.

He's high on my to-read list....

Whaaaa....?? A Portal flick?? That would be awesome! At least, that is what my inner fangirl says!

I'm wondering...do we have our own GoodReads group already? Or did we have one before?

Whew! I haven't been so happy to know something was a hoax since I don't remember when! Seeing that gif was the first time I'd seen anything about the story--which is pretty surprising given how the internet is made of cats, and all that. But really, I'm so very relieved! Thanks so much...

... I don't... I just... OMFG. I am surprisingly affected by this gif, when I'm normally pretty tough. I don't know whether to cry animal abuse, or to laugh at the poor kitty, or just smile, cause who on earth could get a cat near into a vest like that or even near a fucking plane door if it...

Oh my god... :x And new oblig:

My apologies for delay. Life, and all that. *ahem* I'll start with your question, first: If I am assessing someone's work, I generally read the item three times. The first, I read it as the piece is intended: as a reader. I will force myself to read the work through without adjustment, even...

I just think, if you're gonna go for the whole tits-identification route, why not write on them titties instead of holding up a sign professing their size? ...just sayin'. Oh god, I've been around you guys too long.

Looooove this movie. LOVE. I love all Bond (except Dalton) but I was overwhelmed at how intensely I adored the Daniel Craig reboot of the series. I think Solace is the weakest of them so far, but I could (and have) watched Casino Royale and Skyfall all daylong on repeat. It is amazing how...

I watched the first episode of this show back in November, and really quite liked it...but then Christmas and New Year's happened, and I can't seem to summon up the wherewithal to watch it again. =/

When I saw the first previews for this coming on over here, all I could think is, "Holy fuck, how broke are all these movie stars that they are all turning to TV series?"

Can we ask that the posters specify what manner of feedback/critique/evaluation they desire? I edit and read material all day long; shifting from red-pen mode to casual assessment would be easier if I knew ahead of time. I'm sure that applies to everyone-- we wouldn't want to shred someone...

I really, really hope that he has hot nurses in RL; it would be uncool of God to shaft him with some old, fugly barkers when he finally gets a chance to play a legitimate "Nurse-Patient" scene.

Holy Christ, that beard is terrifying. Awesome intentions, though. Would be keen to see how much you can raise, and if you make it 10 more months with Chewbacca-face.

Ooh, I thought Castle didn't know who his father was? I thought his mother had never spoken about him... That could be VERY interesting!

a couple wallpapers, and I'm done

After being traumatized by Kermit/Piggy porn, here is some random shit from some random folders: (possible REALLY OLD reposts--I've no idea where I got 99% of my shit from )
