@catwing  Heheh, excellent.

@seekjustice I found this story amusing, and thought you might too, so here it is!

When I was young my father said to me:
“Knowledge is Power….Francis Bacon”
I understood it as “Knowledge is power, France is Bacon”.
For more than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the second part and what was the surreal linkage between the two? If I said…

@epicaddie2  YES!!! We need more desperately, Addie. We are extremely meme-deprived around here. Thank you so much. X’D

@catwing I’ve got to go now.  I may be on again in an hour or so.

Talk to you later. 🙂  Happy writing!

@catwing Ok, I’ll think about it.  If I get an idea, I’ll try it out. 🙂

Ah, that sounds quite fascinating.  (And I just spelled “fascinating” wrong, so I had to look it up to make sure, and now it looks like it’s horribly misspelled even though it’s spelled correctly.  Does that ever happen to you?)

That premise actually reminds me of the mo…[Read more]

@catwing Hello!

Oh!  Sorry I never got back to you on that.

Well…no, I haven’t.  I’m not quite sure how I’d expand on my original post.  I’m very good at thinking up crazy situations and rambling about them so they sound great in theory, but writing a full length story is often where I get stuck, and I’m afraid that the silliness would get lo…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m on now.  How about you?

@seekjustice Ok, talk to you later.

@seekjustice I think I half forgot I tagged you, and went to sleep instead. 😛  Sorry about that.

@seekjustice Are you around today?

@seekjustice  @rochellaine  @ariel-ashira  @jenwriter17  @catwing

I think I’ll try my hand paw at writing. Anyone here?

@seekjustice My brother just showed me this, and I thought you might find it amusing.

Tell Justice this is not how to run a revolution.

@seekjustice If it was a bad remake, then maybe someone will make one of those YouTube videos making fun of it, like the one you were watching earlier about Phantom of the Opera.

I think I’ll come too

Please do!  😛  Only, I’ve given you too little notice.  I just looked it up, and it appears that the shortest route from Australia to America is j…[Read more]

@seekjustice It was a very impressive tsunami.  There were sharks in it. 😛

Ah, I have heard of two Phantom of the Opera musicals, but apparently didn’t know which was which.  In this case the 80s one is considered better apparently.  Now in answer to your argument: The word “Phantom” automatically puts something in the melodramatic category. ;)…[Read more]

@seekjustice I think electrical storms are kind of cool, because the lightning in the clouds is pretty.   (Did I ever tell you I once dreamed I went to Australia and there was a tsunami? 😛 )

Oh, I love watching videos like that! 😛  I have heard of the 1990 Phantom of the Opera.  I think.  I thought it was from the 80s.  But then, 1990 isn’t…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hey!  Yes, I’m here. 😀  How’s it going?  (Still melting in the awful heat? 😉 )

Are you working on anything in particular at the moment?

@seekjustice @f5a8c3e92

And here I am in the middle of winter. 😛

Thankfully, I do have a working heater…

(My current dream vacation is Australia, so I can have warm weather when it’s cold at home.  I assume from your complaints about the heat that it’d be better to come in the fall/spring time, though? 😉 )

@f5a8c3e92

Yeah, I can explain. 😛  As you can see, my sister actually was thinking of it because of Mary Poppins, which is definitely British, not Australian. (Though it was written by Americans.  But it’s set in England.  I’m also assuming you know what Mary Poppins is… 😉 ) So, she was thinking of “bloke” as related to British slang.

I th…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Sort of like the Brigadoon clips we were watching back when I first told you about it, I guess?  Ah, I see. 😛 I guess that would be less funny.

Oh, okay.  How many languages are you able to read/hear with reasonable clarity?

Great, well, I’ll give it a listen sometime and let you know if I find it as depressing as you do. :…[Read more]

@seekjustice

😛

Oh, I see.  I do like watching backstage videos, or “the making of ____” videos. 😉 I find it quite hard to listen to Koreans try to sing in English without laughing, though.

It would have to be that one for me, because I would have no way of understanding the French version. 😛  (Do you listen to any French musicals?  I know yo…[Read more]
