Goodnight!

@seekjustice

Yeah, it’s bad.  People go crazy sometimes. 🙁

Cool.  Well, I’m going to sign out now.  Goodnight!

@rochellaine

Yeah, they’ve got special laws in place now, because shops were selling things super cheaply (think 90% off sorta things) and people were actually getting crushed and killed.

That’s just…bad.

Nope, this is an attempt at writing a historical/fantasy sort of thing.

I am planning a contemporary short story/novella though, for a competition.

@seekjustice It sounds like your Boxing Day is pretty similar to Black Friday. 😛  I have actually never been out on Black Friday, so I don’t personally know what it’s like, but I’ve heard lots of stories… 😉

Ah, is this your “contemporary genre” book?

I’m still muddling through Daughter of Judas, and groaning because the research is going horribly.

@rochellaine

Maybe we’re just less excited about sales? We tend to have sales at Valentines, Australia Day, Easter, Christmas and Boxing Day (otherwise known as the sale in which people literally die).

Though I’ve heard about Black Friday and that doesn’t sound like a walk in the park either.

I gave up on that. Instead I’m working on rewriting…[Read more]

@seekjustice I see. 🙂  Actually, the stores here have sales every chance they get.  Labor day, Memorial Day, Easter, Valentine’s Day…if it’s a holiday, there’s a sale, and if there’s not a holiday for a long time, make up a reason for a sale. 😛  But of course, there are some specific sale times like right after Christmas and on Black Fr…[Read more]

@rochellaine

We have Labour Day here, but it’s not till October, and people only like it because it’s a long weekend 😛 We certainly don’t have special sales, as it seems you do in American.

Yes I did have a really good time! No, we haven’t really talked since then 😀

@seekjustice Things are okay.  I’ve been sick the past week, but am mostly better now, with just sniffles and a cough.  I had fun today because my brother took me and my sisters to the mall for a Labor Day sale shopping trip. (That’s just an American holiday, right?)

How about you?  Did you have a good time on your trip?  (I think I may have tal…[Read more]

@rochellaine How’s things?

@seekjustice Yup! 🙂

@rochellaine

Are you here still?

@devastate-lasting Oh I am so sorry to hear that! My grandmother passed away from the same thing years ago; it’s hard. I’ll be praying for you and all those effected.

@arel-ashira @valtmy I’ll be praying for both of you as well!

@seekjustice I’m here now.

@rochellaine @alia @ariel-ashira @valtmy Anyone around?

@dekreel To follow up on that…

You know your a writer when you’ve been in your room experimenting with accents, and when you come out your family wonders what the deal is because you’re talking in like ten different accents at once.

@ariel-ashira

I thought so. I just remember someone posting here that their sister had a concussion. I’ll keep praying.

@devastate-lasting Oh, I am so sorry!  I will pray for the people that this has effected.

@seekjustice Man, that is hard.  We’ve had to put animals down before, and its awful.

I don’t know if its my sister you are thinking of, but this sister has had two concussions before.  She’s okay, but being very careful right now.  Thank you for praying!
