@seekjustice Well, in the stage play, Odette comes on to dance first, then Anastasia sings while she’s dancing. Next Siegfried comes on, and Dimitri sings his part while he’s dancing. Then the corps de ballet come on and the grandmother sings, and then the magician comes on, and Gleb sings while he’s dancing. So that’s simple. But that got me…[Read more]

Chessy and Justice seem to be a polarising one. Either people love or hate it.
Everyone does like Sapphire and Quillon though.
And no, Chessy was never supposed to be particularly romantic. The romance between Justice and her wasn’t even supposed to be in the story!

I still maintain I’m not great at romances.
You keep saying that, and I keep telling you that there are several couples in your Infinity series that people liked. 😛
- Chessy and Justice (Your sister, Jen, me, possibly others that I don’t recall)
- Sapphire and Quillon (Everyone… 😛 )
- Chessy and Jonas (Everyone)
- Chessy and Z…

Well, I’d noticed the Swan Lake music in “Quartet at the Ballet” (I’ve been a dancer for too many years not to 😛 ), but I hadn’t really noticed it as an overall thing, having never seen the play itself. And yep, I do know the plot (several different versions of it, in fact).
Oh yes, I remember that story. I’ll have to dig through…[Read more]

@seekjustice I noticed something about Anastasia in the live production that I hadn’t noticed before, which was the symbolism/parallels between Swan Lake and Anastasia’s story, when they go to the ballet. (I was a huge ballet fan as a kid… 😉 ) I think it became one of my favorite parts of the show. Do you know the plot of Swan Lake?
Also, @ali…[Read more]

Unfortunately, yes 😛
I feel I have improved slightly since then, but I still maintain I’m not great at romances. Though Quillon and Sapphire were met with much acclaim, so maybe I’m not as terrible as I think I am.

So you’ll get thrown into the Pit of Shame? 😛
Ooh I hope I’ll be able to do a better job at building romantic tension than that. Granted, I did say that QOD was NOT a romance story but you know what I mean. 😛

I’ve definitely been noticing that, especially as friends go off to university and lose circle of church goers they might have had before.
I’m sure I would have plenty of fun writing about it. And I did think of writing a romance parody the other day. Some day, when I’m not doing anything deep and serious 😛
I don’t think she would.…[Read more]

As one gets older, the difference between non-believer friends and believer friends gets really apparent and sometimes it is not easy to handle.
You writing about romance? Haha I would like to read that post! 😀 Maybe you can write your own romance parody and give me a run for my money. 😀
Are your old romance plots the sort that…[Read more]

Well, all my friends are really close to their cousins and it looks like so much fun!
That is pretty sad 🙁 And I definitely know what you mean about those people who have had so much success in life that they don’t think they need God because they seem to be doing just fine without Him.
Well, I’ve been thinking about doing something a…[Read more]

That’s the first time I ever heard someone describing cousins like that. 😛
I have quite a few cousins myself (a few of them are in Australia!). Childhood was fun with them but as we all grew up, we only ever meet a few times a year now at most. There’s this weird feeling now that we cousins should know each other very well but you…[Read more]

I’ve often wondered what it would be like to have a small family 🙂 I think I’d find it very lonely, since I’m such a poor introvert (not to mention physically living a fair way from where all my friends live) that my family is my main source of talking, hanging out, etc.
It’s funny though. My immediate family is quite big, but neither…[Read more]

I asked my sister whether she ever wanted an older sibling before and she said that she liked it being just us two girls. 😄
Though I’ve thought that having a big family would be fun. It’s like having more people in your immediate vicinity to love. Or get weirded out and annoyed by. 😛
Haha, right. And to think that you’ll also need…[Read more]

I have wished I wasn’t the oldest before 🙂 my best friend is actually the second youngest of eight and I’ve often wondered what that would be like. But being the eldest has perks as well. I feel sorry for my middle siblings, who don’t get the perks of being either the eldest or the youngest.
It won’t be for a while ( and I actually need…[Read more]

Ah, being a good older sibling, aren’t you? You’re the eldest, right? Do you ever wish you weren’t? (I’m the youngest child myself) 😛
Ooh looking forward to reading your guest post then 😛

I would like to be and hopefully will be soon. I’m currently warning my small brother about snakes and groaning when his reply is “Don’t worry! I got shoes on!” as if shoes are magical snake repellents or something.
Yes we did 🙂

Yay! So what are you working on? NaNo? 😀
Oh, I saw your blog… Did you and Jen make an agreement to write guest posts for each other or something? 😛

I’ll be around for most of the day 🙂

Hey, you on? I’m not writing but I might have time to chat today depending on how busy things get later.
