*gasp* Look who it is! That weird elf person who’s been slinking around in the shadows these last few months, making appearances so rarely that authorities have come to consider her an endangered species!
Yup, it’s that strange Sarah creature. I never wanted to be one of those people who randomly disappear one day and you never see hide nor hair…[Read more]

What are some ways to separate two enemy countries at the border, yet have someone accidentally cross it (or go to war)? I thought about a wall, but that’s not really original.

Kate Flournoy replied to the topic The Last Jedi in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 8 months ago
@Emma-flournoy I know. I mean, I do that (which is probably why I even thought to notice) and sometimes it gets ironic on accident, but… mm-hm. It does make one think.

Ohhh…no, I remember that now. Igh.
That’s a sound plan. *claps you on the shoulder* Dads are good for help. 😉 Especially book-ish dads, which yours sounds to be.
And hey, it’s been a nice conversation with you here, despite any strange subject material. 😛 -
Haha, yeah. I wouldn’t say my dad is especially book-ish, he likes certain books (James Herriot, Master and Commander, Hornblower, Jane Austin, P. G. Wodehouse). And he likes audio books a lot, but I think he just listens to what I listed. 😛
Yes, it has been a good conversation. I’m actually glad you told me about your thoughts on Perelandra…[Read more]
-
That’s funny, with all those books/authors you mentioned, I’ve watched more screen adaptations of any of ’em than read the books. 😀 All very good. Your dad has good taste.
Heh. Well, that’s good to know. 😛
-
Ditto. We love All Creatures, and we enjoyed the Jeeves and Wooster series, and I quite liked Master and Commander, and what I’ve seen of Hornblower, I believe I’d like that too. But none of them quite seem like something I’d enjoy reading so much as watching (I’ve read one James Herriot book).
So, it’s official, last night I gave Perelandra to…[Read more]
-
Oho, I bet you’ll like Hornblower. *gleeful grin* If you like M&C already…
I’ve only read the first Hornblower book and wasn’t impressed, but the mini-series is one of our favoritest things.Very good. *firm nod* Hope you’ll/they’ll not have a hard time coming to a satisfactory descision, whatever it be. 😉
-
@emma-flournoy *thinking I’d already replied to this* Yeah, I’d seen a little bit of the mini-series and liked the look of it.
You know what really got me in Perelandra? When he started calling Weston the Un-man. *shudders*
-
AGH YES, I’d forgotten about that. *shudders with you* Yeah.

I don’t what it was about it, but that was the real deal-breaker for me.

C.r.e.e.p.y.

So, what are you reading now? I’m still in Boxen, but I’m nearly finished, and after that I’m going to read Animal Farm (I know nothing about it – do you know if it’s any good?)

… guys…
I just noticed something. The meaning of the name Ren is king. The meaning of the name Rey is king’s advisor, or more literally, queen. I even went and looked it up to double check. That is… most intriguing.

@daeus I liked the penguin thing! It was cute.
@emma-flournoy NO! I love Kylo Ren so much. He’s a really great character in that he’s real–he’s not a perfect villain, and there’s this strange thing about him where he’s fighting the urge to turn to the “light side”, something not seen much in movies.

@Emma-Flournoy of course. But since her son obviously couldn’t make himself do it— *gross sobbing*— I’m not quite clear on how, yet.

@Emma-Flournoy he finds a nice sweet mechanic who also comes from a hard past and isn’t too high or great for him. *nods*

Okay, so the one big takeaway from this trailer… I think… NO PROMISES, BUT I THINK—! I could see a relationship between them working.

@emma-flournoy *having just read chapter 9* Wow, I’m starting to see what you mean. O_O The frogs, and-and Weston – he’s so creepy right now! I honestly think he’s meant to be the devil himself.
I’m actually wondering if I need to stop reading this (and I hate doing that). It is getting quite disturbing in some ways.
-
Yeah, at least the no-clothes-ness isn’t expounded on, but the very fact is annoying.
That’s it. Pfifltriggi is a hard word to remember. 😛
I cringe for you. :/ At least that probably means my memory wasn’t exaggerating… hardly a comforting thought.
Poor Weston. I don’t remember everything that happened in that book, but I think I saw him…[Read more]-

@emma-flournoy I just finished a chapter where Weston started having some sort of fit, and now Ransom’s not sure if he’s dead, or what (it was pretty freaky). I know what you mean about Ransom and the Lady’s nakedness, but I’m not finding it much of a problem right now, because the story isn’t going on about their nakedness (what I’ve read at…[Read more]

@emma-flournoy I’ve only ever seen TFA, but I want to see the rest. And I have had episodes 1-6 quoted to me by my brother. (every line, went for a whole day.) And the music. The music was played at the right times. So, I’ve heard the whole lot? (Excluding RO, so, I’ll stay out of that debate.)

I’ve missed you, but I’ve always assumed you had good reason to be away from the forum. Praying for you, love. 😉
Hope these struggles strengthen you. Praying for you. Really hope you can stick around!
Aww I’m glad you dropped back because I was wondering at your silence. <3 Keep on trusting God. *hugs*
Glad to have you back! I tend to withdraw when I’m going through difficult times too; I think my introvertedness blows full steam whenever I’m hurting. I hope God will turn your trials into joy. 🙂 Trials aren’t fun, but I’ve found I usually grow more from them than from the good times. *pats you on the shoulder*
YAAAYYY! Don’t become an endangered species. *sorrowful blink*
STUFF is a convoluted pain. Hopefully it’ll allow you more opportunities to be on here, but see, even if you don’t feel like it, people miss you a lot! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. 😀 But we need our Green Lady. <3
*crickets*
Did you see the Loki article? 😀
HI-YA!!! Yes, please don’t become an endangered species. XD Life in the Kingdom would become oh so dull and sarcasm-less without you. 😛
And I relate big-time. I’ve been ignoring the Kingdom these past couple weeks too, so you are not alone. Look, I even replied to this, like, super late. 😛
But anywho…WELCOME BACK!!
