Numbers are the bane of my life.

You don’t appreciate ten because all your measurements are so random and weird and all over the place. In metric measures, everything is in ten–10 millimetres in a centimetre, 100 centimetres in a metre, 1000 metres in a kilometre. Its very easy to remember 😀

Five foot fourteen 😛

@seekjustice 😛 That’s hilarious.

Ah, numbers again, huh? 😉

What what?  We don’t appreciate the number ten? 😛  Haha, but I’ve mixed up the number of inches in a foot before as well.

Oh, there was a funny scene in a book where the hero was 6’2″.  At one point a kid looked way up at him and said, “how tall are you?” and then another man th…[Read more]

@catwing Sorry, I won’t be going. 🙁

@catwing 😛

@rochellaine

This is where the problem is, my friend. We use imperial measurements for heights because its sounds cooler to say “I’m 5ft 5in”, rather than “I’m 170cm tall”. However, I forgot that a foot is twelve inches, not ten. So while Justice is 5’9”, and Zac is 6’1″ that’s actually a difference much larger than two. 😛

But its not my fault…[Read more]

@catwing

Yeah, sorry. I’d come if I could, truly 😛

@seekjustice Oh, wait.  You probably don’t use feet and inches measurements in Australia, do you?  Whoops. 😛

@seekjustice I would imagine that’s because, like Clint Eastwood, he’s still alive and working today.  Frankie Avalon is 78 years old, but still tours the U.S. giving concerts.  (I got to go to one in February.  It was my Christmas present from my parents. 😀 )

Justice is short?!  That’s a new one. 😛  Even if Zac is 6’2″ (anything taller than…[Read more]

@catwing

Oh yes, I use okeydokey a lot. In fact, I thought it must have been an Australian thing. Seems not. 😀

Okaydokey, that’s fine 😀 I’m happy either way. You can read it even if you don’t want to beta read.

@rochellaine

In most of the pictures I saw on pinterest he was much older than that one that I posted.

Well, I wouldn’t have pictured Clint Eastwood as looking like Justice, but there we go  😛

I don’t really know what I imagine him looking like. He’s appearance has never concreted itself in my mind. 😀 The woes of being a writer, when you…[Read more]

@seekjustice @catwing seems to be the queen of curious expressions.  She says a lot of strange things. 😛 (potato-squash, anyone?)

But…I was wondering the same thing. 😉

@seekjustice I absolutely love Frankie Avalon. 😛  But about the hair, that’s why I said it was hard to find a picture.  His hair was curly and longer when he was younger, but by the time he got into his twenties it was that flat, thick style which wouldn’t work for Quillon.

Justice? Probably similar to a young Clint Eastwood:

What do you t…[Read more]

@catwing

Just curious, did you mean to say “Okaydonkey”? Is that something you say often? It’s a curious expression 😀

@valtmy

Hello to you too :

@catwing ‘Ello!

@rochellaine

Actually, I found this picture of Frankie Avalon on Pinterest, and minus the hair, which is too short and not curly enough, he probably looks quite similar.

And yeah, I’ve never imagined Quillon being particularly athletic or muscular. And yeah, Jonas is probably abnormally tall and good looking 😀 Kendall, not so much I don’t…[Read more]

@catwing Hey!  I’m here.  So is @seekjustice 😛

We’re discussing her books, and arguing over what her characters should look like.  Impertinent of me, isn’t it, telling an author what her own characters look like? 😉

@seekjustice Well, I didn’t start imagining him as Frankie Avalon until about yesterday. 😛  So it’s not that I’m used to Frankie Avalon.  Most Frankie Avalon pictures do not even that closely fit the picture I have of Quillon, though.  That one was really hard to find.

In my imagination, the changes to the picture would be these: I don’t have Qu…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hmm, interesting. I guess if I used to Frankie Avalon I might imagine him that way. This is the picture I’ve always had of him though:

@seekjustice You asked how I imagined Quillon.  Well, I couldn’t find an exact picture, but it’s almost like this, but with blue eyes, of course. 😉

What do you think?  Is it extremely different from your picture?

Oh, in case you wonder, it’s Frankie Avalon. 😉
