@hope Normally, I would choose a Princess Bride quote. But actually this one’s not from The Princess Bride. But I know exactly which quote you’re talking about, and it’s really close. I think Fezzik’s words were “You just nodded your head! You should be very proud of yourself” or something like that.
I’ll add a hint.

@hope-ann Nope. But I know exactly which quote you’re talking about, and it’s really close. I think Fezzik’s words were “You just nodded your head! You should be very proud of yourself” or something like that.

Character 1: Did you just nod your head?
Character 2: [nods]
Character 1: You understand me?

@Daeus I like it! As Kate says… you were born to sell things. Writing about my book is one of my least favorite things. Can’t just writing the thing be enough? As for bittersweet, I looked it up int a thesaurus and it gave me poignant, nostalgic, affecting, touching, and sentimental. Not sure if any of those fit, but…

@his-instrument Well, if you got me started on them I bet I could remember the rest.

@his-instrument The Princess Bride! 😀 Fezzic to Westley.

@daeus I was in it up until 6th grade, when our campus was too small to do a Challenge program and I didn’t feel like drawing maps anyways. 🙂 Can you still sing your history sentences? I still regularly sing the Christopher Columbus song whenever I feel like it. Honestly, my skip counting songs have been helping me on math tests for years. And my…[Read more]

@his-instrument. Oh, you did classical conversations? That’s neat. I was in it from 8-17.

Goody! Do I get to come up with a quote now?
Okay, I think this is how it was phrased:
Did you just nod your head?
Hopefully that’s not to obscure. The movie it’s from is not obscure.

@kate-flournoy, the sewer scene wasn’t actually too bad. Go read it. It’s not as long as the Battle of Waterloo thing. Which I read, but it went completely over my head, because I don’t know anything about Waterloo except what I learned in a Classical Conversations history sentence in fourth grade, and I only remember that because it was in a…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy *GASP!* You can’t be a true Les Mis fan if you haven’t read about the sewers!

Yeah. Sure. Whatever. It’s still one of my favorites, so I can forgive you. Actually, you’re totally and 100% right, I’m just righter.

Ha! Aaaand she already posted. 😀 I leave you in the hands of a dedicated fan, @His-Instrument. 😉

@His-Instrument Oh look! A Les Mis RANT THREAD! :’D

@EMMA-FLOURNOY GET OVER HERE NOW.

*ahem* Love this topic. I could probably write a book about everything Les Mis did amazingly… you covered a lot of it. I’d also like to point out what a great job Hugo did of recycling characters— bringing them in again in all the most unexpected places…[Read more]

@his-instrument Why rewrite the musical. It’s great the way it is.

Er, yeah, let’s see. I’d pretty much agree. I do think Hugo should have cut down on some of his fluff, but the vast majority of it was great. I have some slightly different personal opinions, such I don’t think I liked Eponine quite that much and Javert’s only in the top five or…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper I think I got it! Kronk to Yzma in “The Emperor’s New Groove.” Best Disney animated movie ever. (After Beauty and the Beast.)

@dragon-snapper It sounds so familiar! Hint?

@gracie-girl Welcome! So glad you’ve joined us!
In the first page you said you found a discussion on Tauriel and Kili. I can’t find it! Where is it? I must see this discussion. 🙂

@Rachelle What program do you use? I’m not a fabulous artist myself, but my sister is, and she loves digital art. We have something called Painter Essentials 5 that came with an Intuos drawing tablet. I have no idea what to do with it, but I like clicking on the rainbow swirls feature and dragging it around the screen. 🙂 Your pictures are…[Read more]

@warrioroftherealm I’m no expert, but I did watch “Mom’s Night Out.” Which, if you haven’t seen that movie, you should watch it. It’s a completely clean Christian comedy. And it stars Sean Astin (Sam from Lord of the Rings), so it gets bonus points in my book.
But anyway, in that movie, a guy dislocates his shoulder and gets it back into place by…[Read more]

I love this topic! I use a Baby Name Book (paper copy) to find my names, because I haven’t actually found a good website yet (so if y’all have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them).
I’m pretty obvious with my names. Like, guess who is the villain and who is the hero: Grymelda or Cerdic?
I’ve said this before, but I like to look at the…[Read more]
