@rochellaine, locked in…

sorry for disappearing, the computer crashed and then I was called down for lunch

@jenwriter17, I am sorta here.

@alia @rochellaine are you two still on?

@alia Whoops! Was she locked in, or did she just decide she preferred being inside?

Last night it rained buckets and there was a flash flood.  We had to rescue the rabbits from drowning, literally, since a river is now where their cage used to be, on the low ground in our backyard.  They spent the night in our basement in an extra dog cage.

Do y…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I didnt realize there was more than one. I have no clue which one my mom likes, probably the older one.

Soooo, during the night our dog sleeps in a kennel in th basement, and guess what I just found? She was still in there at one in the afternoon

@alia The Meet Me in St. Louis Celeste Holm was in is the 1966 tv remake.  Is that really the one your mom likes?  Most people only know the 1944 version with Judy Garland.  (I have never heard of the ’66 version until now.  The only versions I’d heard of were the ’44 version and the ’59 version with Jane Powell.

Oh, I haven’t seen Tom Saw…[Read more]

@rochellaine, Celeste is in Tom Sawyer (I just looked it up) and Meet Me in St. Louis. I haven’t seen either, but my mom loves the latter.

I didn’t recognize any of the other two’s movies, but I recognize them

@alia Ginger Rogers is most famous for her work as Fred Astaire’s leading lady, but she is also known as an amazing comedienne and dramatic actress in her own right.  Walter Pidgeon is one of the greatest male actors from the 40s and has been in lots of stuff.  His most frequent partner was Greer Garson in a lot of drama films, but he’s also w…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I recognize them, but I can’t remember from where. I’ll have to look it up now

@alia Don’t worry about the Lesley Ann Warren version.  I just recommended it because it’s another version and because the singing is pretty good, but I don’t really like the acting.  I’ve just been watching clips and remembered that.  If you want to see what it was like you can fine a lot of short clips of it on YouTube, but the Julie Andrews ve…[Read more]

@rochellaine, I found the Julie Andrews version, (I’ll listen to it after the one I sent you) and a Whitney Housten version (1997), but I didn’t see the Lesley Ann Warren version

@rochellaine, will do. I haven’t actually finished listening to it yet because I had to go to bed in the middle last night

@alia Oh, that is the one by Rodgers and Hammerstein.  I just looked it up and it says for the 2013 adaption on Broadway they wrote a whole new book and added a few songs R&H had written separately to the score.  So, it’s got a lot of the same songs, but it’s not quite the same musical.

I’m listening to it now, though, and you should listen t…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira here we are. i hope it works (*gasps* oh you changed your profile pic :D…[Read more]

this is the one I was listening to

@jenwriter17

1. My favorite character is Jax.  *hugs him* He is very headstrong and brave, while still a kind gentleman.

2. My favorite scene would have to be the one near the end when Uma and Rin say they’ll be friends forever…it’s so sweet and you really triggered a lot of emotion.  🙂

3. Hmmm…no specific scenes.  Some sentences here an…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha, I actually do like fractions. 😮

I should definitely go to bed.

Oh yes, of course.  Just let me know, and I’ll see.  I just meant that it can’t be tonight or any nighttime, so it’d have to be either morning or really late night for you, (if I got up really early in the morning,) because I can’t wake everyone up in the middle o…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hooray!  Another for my side.  Fractions forever! 😛

Did you ask your mom…I mean…mum? 😉

Cool.  Maybe we can try it out tomorrow.  When would you like your book finished?  I would assume as soon as possible, of course, but is there a deadline?

@seekjustice Plus, it would be really cool to talk to you for real… 😉

@seekjustice Ugh, math. 😛  I have a kind of random question: Do you like fractions or decimals better? 😉  I like fractions better, but most of my siblings prefer decimals.

Skype is free download, I think.  If it’s possible for you to check it out and see if it’ll work I’d love that, because it would be much easier for me to have a direct ch…[Read more]
