        @rochellaine

        Thank you! I am indeed. And guess what? My mum managed to track down a copy of the 1958 version of A Tale of Two Cities, which I hadn’t been able to find anywhere. I was pretty excited about that.

            @seekjustice Wow, that’s cool!!ย  You’ve seen a bit of it on YouTube, right? (I think you said you skipped to the end.)ย  The guy who plays Sydney Carton (Dirk Bogarde) is one of my favorite actors.

            So you have it on DVD now?

              @rochellaine

              I think I ended up watching all of it, but over several weeks and not in chronological order ๐Ÿ˜› I know, we’ve discussed Dirk Bogarde before ๐Ÿ™‚

              Yep, I look forward to watching it properly.

                  @seekjustice I see. ๐Ÿ™‚

                  Ah yes, I remember. ๐Ÿ˜€

                  Are you on now, or still celebrating your birthday?ย  (It’s technically “afternoon” for you, right?ย  But you didn’t say you would be on, only that you’d possibly be on.)

                    @rochellaine

                    It’s two o’clock, so I guess it is afternoon. And yep, I’m free for a bit. How are you? How’s Bathshua going?

                      Bathshua is doing okay, the darling.ย  I got some good planning in over the past couple of days, and now have a clearer picture of how to get her where she needs to be.ย  But in order for that to happen she’s going to have to go through a lot. ๐Ÿ™

                      Right now I’m working on a secret writing project, but I’ll get back to Daughter of Judas in a bit.

                      What are you working on today?ย  (I can say “today” because it is past 12:00 and officially September 6, so we’re on the same day at this moment. ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

                        Poor Bathshua. She doesn’t deserve any of the things you throw at her (ah, look at me. Such a hypocrite!)

                        I’m currently reading over a really long and old character sheet I filled out for a character so completely perfect that I cringe now. I’m supposed to be taking the questions and filling out the sheet for another character though.

                          Haha!ย  At least we know she’ll survive, right? ๐Ÿ™‚

                            Haha no. But he might as well be, down to the fact that he’s Irish and has an accent. But he’s a character from a very old book of mine (and don’t even bother asking to read it, because. Nope. No chance. No one is ever reading that thing).

                              Not a chance!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎย  I shall protect my characters! (but if the mean characters hurt them, that’s not necessarily my fault. ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

                              ๐Ÿ˜› Ah, don’t worry.ย  I completely understand! ๐Ÿ˜€ย  I used to be extremely melodramatic in my writing, so a lot of my old bits contain characters who gasp and shriek or sob every few sentences.ย  It’s actually pretty funny, though of course I didn’t intend it to be funny when I wrote them.

                                People don’t actually expect us to takeย responsibilityย for our bad characters, do they?

                                Well, of course Curt did none of those things. Because he was a small angel. He definitely fell into the disabled angelic character trope that I see so many people complaining about ๐Ÿ˜›

                                  Of course he didn’t.ย  Sweet little Curt.ย  Poor little Curt. ๐Ÿ˜€

                                  Have you ever been on the TV Tropes website?ย  It’s hilarious.
