@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]

@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]

@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]

@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]

@rochellaine They care, but they don’t understand why I might do a crazy thing like write all night when I have a burst of inspiration or something that other writers understand.  And you guys can answer my questions when they can’t.  That’s all I meant by it.

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly I would say expressing how their donation helped you and what you are going to do with it is good, like Jenna said.  Having it simple and grateful is going to be a lot better than a cheesy flowery speech.  Also, choosing/making a nice card can help tell them that you value their support.  Did you post this topic on SE?  The…[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]

@ariel-ashira Oh, I see you posted the first one at 1:30.  Funny it didn’t show up in my notifications until now.  Oh well, see you later!

I’m sure your family cares about your writing, especially your parents, even if they don’t necessarily say so. 🙂  But we’re glad you like us. 😛

Goodnight!

@seekjustice Are you back yet?

@rochellaine It is 12:44 here, and yes I am up late!  I have to go now, but yes I was researching.  Its so good to talk with you guys because you are really the only people in the world who understand and care about my characters and writing.  See you tomorrow!

@ariel-ashira Fifteen minutes until one o’clock? 😉  Or…are you in mountain time?  Will it only be twelve?  Anyway, I’m here, obviously, so, hi!

What are you working on?  Still researching?

@rochellaine @seekjustice Anyone on?  I have about fifteen minuets.

@seekjustice Okay, I might be gone when you get back, but shoot me a tag and we’ll see. 🙂

Hope it goes well!

@alia Hm, maybe we’re talking about two different ones.  I don’t remember that song from the musical.  The song when she gets transformed is “It’s Possible”.  And that one’s actually very famous.  Even my mom knows it, and she doesn’t know many Broadway songs. 😛

But you should definitely look the R&H Julie Andrews version up.  There have been…[Read more]

@alia 😛

Oh, of course!  But did you know it was originally a TV movie with Julie Andrews in the 50s?  I love her version of it!  Of course, as my brother and I said a couple of days ago, Julie could make anything sound beautiful. 😉  But Rodgers and Hammerstein were a wonderful team.

What’s your favorite song?
