@valtmy You did??!  What did you think?  Did you like it?  Who’s your favorite character?  What’s your favorite song?  Which version did you watch?

😉 😛 😛

@valtmy Hello!!

@seekjustice Sounds horrible. 🙁 There is one historically inaccurate movie I really like, but that’s probably because I don’t know the true story of the person very well.

I burst out laughing when reading our comments on my original document.  We were talking about what Justice’s reaction to finding out Chessy was tortured…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😀

No, I haven’t, but I’ve heard of it and have no intention of ever watching it.  I believe I read about it in a biography of Gladys Aylward and I think she herself was horrified when she heard what they had done to her story.  Sounds like it even puts the term “highly fictionalized” to shame. 😛

You say “old” movie…what year w…[Read more]

@catwing Oh, I wish I hadn’t missed you! 🙁

@seekjustice @jenwriter17 @dekreel @valtmy Anyone here?  I’m writing now.

@jenwriter17 I’m so sorry!  I keep forgetting about this, because when I’m on KP I really only check Writers’ Corner (the only really live topic left). 🙁

Going back and reading through your poem I can’t find the places that I thought were jerky before.  However, I think the difference could be that I read it aloud this time, rather than in my h…[Read more]

@catwing Oh! I guess you tagged me for your own prayer request.

I’ll be praying for you!

@catwing Uh, thanks…but I don’t recall putting out any prayer requests?  Did you tag me by accident?

@seekjustice Proof that I’m sleepy: I had the word “executioner” all ready to write in the previous post, but I couldn’t think of the word “execute” to go along with it, so I sat with my eyes closed for several minutes trying to think of the synonym for “put to death” even though all I had to do was remember the different form of the word “executioner”.

@seekjustice 😛

The Mikado is the one where flirting is made a capital offense but no one can be executed because the executioner himself is next in line to be executed, and he refuses to execute himself.

I’m sleepy, so goodnight. 🙂

@seekjustice Well, as expected, I got only 159 words in.  However, it does count as something. 🙂  Thanks for warring with me!  I’ll look forward to doing some more in the future, and getting back up to speed where I can almost keep up with you. 😛

@valtmy Ok.  Let me know when you do get a chance.  I’d love to hear your opinion on it. ;)…[Read more]

@seekjustice Go ahead. 🙂 I’ll time myself after I post this.

@seekjustice 😀 😀 I will fail miserably, but I’d love to try anyhow.  I usually find word wars help me through rough places, since I don’t think about how hard it is to write, but simply write. 😉

Unfortunately, I’m tired, so can we do a short, five minute war?

(And hooray for the Comic History of Britain! 😉 )

@valtmy Have you had a chance t…[Read more]

@seekjustice *rushes in* Did you say word war??!!  Am I too late?

@dekreel Praying for you, my friend!

@dekreel It’s been amazing knowing you, friend-who-is-not-a-wolf! 😉 (See how nice I’m being?  I didn’t call you a wolf.  Aren’t you happy with me? 😛 I must admit that your tail is quite free of hair, unlike a wolf’s, but you must admit that your old profile picture didn’t include a tail, so you can see where the confusion began.)

I’m glad you s…[Read more]

@valtmy 🙂

@seekjustice And who, may I ask, was that man?

Our Johnny Appleseed wore a tin hat.  It’s usually depicted as a pot or frying pan, but apparently it was just a tin hat which he ate out of.

We also tell of a giant with a blue ox…but unfortunately he isn’t real. 😉

@seekjustice

Yes, you mustn’t think our history is anything but dignified.  Ignore the fact that a crowd of Boston men dressed up in rags and painted their faces with “Indian war paint” so they could dump a lot of tea in Boston Harbor.  Yup, we’re very dignified.

@valtmy Hello!  So far SE is fine.  I’m kind of indifferent.  It feels a lot like…[Read more]

@seekjustice I wish the Gutenberg copy included the original illustrations instead of just mentions of them.  I’m sure they’re quite hilarious.  Maybe I should get a hard copy sometime.

I’d advise you not to read the Comic History of America until you know a little more about our history… 😛  Just like with his history of England, there are a…[Read more]

I’m at a stage in life where I have no motivation to do anything. Work, chores, even common-sense actions like brushing my teeth. Please pray that I snap out of it and that I rely on God for self-confidence and diligence.

@seekjustice Yes, it’s on Gutenberg. Should be pretty easy to find with a quick search of his name.
