Ah, true. Being in love with the aviators as I am, I always imagine leather aviator jackets, which were, of course, made to keep you warm.

Its the working class jacket, which is why its associated with the French Revolution. Actually though, my sister also thought Justice wore a leather jacket too, so you aren’t the only one. I can…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I tend to be able to deal with curse words, as long as they aren’t too “strong” or too often, so I often forget to mention those (sorry). However, I cannot deal with people kissing each other, as my family will testify, hence my dislike of romance, particularly in movies.

No, I wouldn’t be. I’m sure a leather jacket would be pretty…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Sorry 🙁 I honestly don’t think though that she’s ever seen one of those shows which she was talking about, and she didn’t know who Clint Eastwood was. Our family doesn’t watch much in the way of shows or movies, but usually when we do we watch newer things.

The jacket is a very specific type of jacket. Observe this one:

@rochellaine

She said: “….they still look too old. Like guys from those old tv shows where everyone laughs but you don’t even get the joke.”

Justice’s jacket is not actually a leather one, just thought I’d point that out. 😀

@rochellaine

Some of those twists are actually quite inventive 🙂

That’s true, Justice would not be harmed in the making of any of those twists 😛

@Rochellaine

I showed her the picture and the response was awkward giggling and then “I can’t imagine Justice looking like that…he looks like a cowboy”.

@rochellaine

She said, in reference to your first comment, that it was confusing, but I think she understands.

Neither of us are sure what you mean by Cliff Robertson.

All right, I’ll give you some time for review.

(She said it was very nice and that she likes being called SeekJustice’s sister)

@rochellaine

🙂

Currently my sister and I are trying to come up with plot twists for the second book. Have any ideas?

(My sister reckons you’ll all say “that Justice died instead of Zac” because “you’re all selfish people who love Zac and underappreciate Justice!”)

I’m pretty sure she’s joking.

@rochellaine

All right, all right! I give up. It just baffles me that everyone likes the characters I don’t like all that much and no one likes as much the ones that I adore. 😀

@catwing Well, hopefully we aren’t spoiling too much for you 🙂

@rochellaine

Okay 😀

Well, I didn’t necessarily write him to be likeable, but then again I didn’t write Zac to be likeable either and obviously he turned out like that.

I don’t know how I want people to feel about Kendall though. I mean…he has a rather immoral lifestyle…

But his case isn’t hopeless. He redeems himself.

😀 I can see that…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Was it only the instance you mentioned that you thought was too out of character for Justice?

The problem I found with Kendall and Rain is that honestly who would have a crush on Kendall? No one is supposed to like Kendall!

No, I didn’t know! I must go find out!

@rochellaine

Well, it hurts my pride, my honestly my pride is rather…I don’t know…large. And I could do with some humility. That’s why God made me a writer 😛

Fair enough. That makes sense. Honestly, I think the uniqueness of my story lies not so much in the plot, because the plot is…well, fairly average, but more so in the characters.…[Read more]

@rochellaine

So I’ve been agonising over your post for w ay longer than is normal and I’ve come to this conclusion:

Writing retellings are a balancing act between original content and not. For example, I think the changes I made with Caderousse (have you started P4 yet?) were good because someone would expect that of a story based on Les…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Hopefully!

I do quite like parodies if they’re done right 🙂

I didn’t change that much, did I?

@Rochellaine

Well, I have the 1955 version in the house currently, so I’ll watch that first but I know our library has the 1999 version so I might watch that one later.

Yep its definitely a classic one. I’m a bit of a Sherlock Holmes nerd 😉

Well, yes, I am overly obsessed with Les Mis and have listened to so many different versions and I have…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Ah, that’s unfortunate. My family tends to stick the rain out and make us all miserable 😛

I’m not sure how many I’ve seen, I’d have to count. By the way, do you like the 19something version of Oklahoma or the Hugh Jackman version best?

I guess so, she just struck me as really naïve and not at all smart.

She’s in her forties, but…[Read more]

@dekreel

Sorry I keep missing you! I was at church this morning you see 😀

@rochellaine

Welcome back! Does your family go camping much?

Yeah, I didn’t like that, and it’s generally not my style (Oh, I love Brigadoon! Its pretty much the only exception to the old musical dislike. And I don’t mind Mary Poppins. But other than that…)

I did…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I do not know how to fake someone’s death. I have never done it before

😛

Never. Not even to Zac.

It was better than Liliom, definitely.  I’m not sure I could say that I liked it though. The more of these old musicals I watch the more I’m sure I’ll never find one that I love 🙂

I think though, my main problem was that the ending made me really uncomfortable, especially the part where Louise and Julie talk about being hit and never feeling a…[Read more]

@catwing We’ll see you when you get back!

@rochellaine I watched Carousel tonight.
