@ariel-ashira @rochellaine Excuse me??? Talking about names without me? That is only my favourite subject ever (after using symbolism in stories).

But I don’t often use “weird” names, because I don’t usually make up my own names. Probably the weirdest names I’ve used are things that aren’t really names (Waif, Justice, etc)

Having said that,…[Read more]

And guess what? I’m currently reading The Return of the King! I’m fine for fantasy (but please, please can we do historical next month????)

Also, just a  suggestion. What if we were to read for the whole month and share what we learn as we go, but we don’t necessarily have to read t…[Read more]

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira Either of you on? I’m editing……..

@ariel-ashira

Awwww…really? *hugs*

@ariel-ashira

Oh, I should have known the aloe and honey ones. The rest are quite interesting.

Basically it means I take first aid classes every week and I have two first aid certificates.

Ah that’s me too. I often get up at 6ish to write before my family gets up. I’m probably going to go to bed now, but I’ll happily chat tomorrow 🙂

@jenwriter17

Sure! I’m in 😀

@ariel-ashira

It gives me warm fuzzy feelings being told I’m one of someone’s best friends 😀

@ariel-ashira I’m a first aid officer, so I’ve researched a lot of different injuries. I do know quite a bit about third degree burns and ouch, in medieval times??? That would be nasty. I don’t know what they did for burns in the Middles ages though. I’m curious to know now 😀

Its 9:45pm. I’m not usually on at this time (because I have a no te…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

Yeah, its incredibly interesting and also very much underused. I actually feel (I’m no expert) that the other type of amnesia doesn’t happen very much, whereas the not remembering things correctly afterward happens quite a lot. You can see it in dementia as well, people with dementia remembering their childhoods really well, but…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh yeah, I’ve seen those sorts of videos. They can be quite fun!

I don’t know what version it was, it was part of a soundtrack though, rather than just a cover by someone.

I guess it does leave it hanging, he doesn’t receive any sort of guidance or change his mind in anyway.

I don’t know if Justice is a singing sort of person, but…[Read more]

@rochellaine

What are you up to? Listening to anything good?

I like the lyrics of that song, by the way, though the style isn’t really my thing. Its a kind of sad song, isn’t it? I like the focus on stars and God though, which is probably why it reminded you of my book 😉

@rochellaine

Yep, still editing. Though I’ll probably disappear for lunch.

@rochellaine @ariel-ashira

Anyone around still? I’m here to do some editing!

@rochellaine

Oh actually my mum told me about that movie once, but she couldn’t remember what it was called. She thought I’d like it, but I haven’t seen it.

@rochellaine

Okay, I’ll look it up 🙂 Its got an interesting title!

@rochellaine

Psychological amnesia is so much fun! I think that the Anastasia movie uses a physical injury–Anya falls off the train and hits her head. But the musical, I believe, uses a more psychological approach. She repressed her memories and tried to forget them.

A type of amnesia that’s quite common, but never mentioned in any books/movies…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira i loved the Black Stallion years ago. My favourite horse book will always be War Horse though.

@rochellaine

Ooh, ooh what song is it??

@northerner @kate-flournoy

Personally, I decided to hang around here because I don’t have enough time for two forums (though I do have an account on SE) and because the people who I’ve become especially close to are still here (*cough* @alia @rochellaine @jenwriter17 @ariel-ashira ). I’m sad that everyone else has gone, but I felt I had to choose…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I shamefully admit that I’ve spent the last half hour reading the summaries on Wikipedia. It’s rather….dramatic. Oh yes, of course I’ve read the books. I love (most) of the books!

I can understand that it is considerably creepy/weird for Almanzo to be that much older than Laura. Couldn’t they have just made him younger than he was…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Haha, that’s basically the premise every sci-fi/action movie is based on, isn’t it? “And then…this innocent thing here explodes!” “Haha! Great plot twist…..why?” “Because, everything must explode. this is an action movie and we need material for the three hundred trailers we’ll put up on YouTube”.

I think I’ve seen the first…[Read more]
