@dekreel I have to use the phrase all the time when talking about sci-fi with my brother. (which we do all the time, since we’re fans of Star Trek, Stargate SG-1, and a few other sci-fi movies/shows.)  So to describe any character I’ll either say “sentient being” or “humanoid.”  Just not all sentient beings are humanoids, so I have to use b…[Read more]

@valtmy Haha, well, maybe you can help me with some ideas.  I need a whole bunch of completely ridiculous and impossible ways to fake someone’s death.  (I thought I would have to ask @seekjustice 😉 But if you’re willing…)  I’ll give you a couple of examples to show you what I mean.

Ways to Fake Deaths

Example #1: Rent a private helicopter, ta…[Read more]

Wow, I cannot believe how badly I messed up @jenwriter17‘s tag in the last post! 😛 Ah well, Jen, I was just saying that you’re one of Bobert’s favorite “sentient beings” in case you ever wondered. 😉

@rochellaine  Yes, yes, I know… Hey, at least I didn’t STOP coming here all together. 😛

“Sentient being.” Yeah. I might just start using that phrase. XD

Poor Bobert! Maybe he likes Jen because she’s a Steampunk horse. Because honestly, there are few things more awesome than a Steampunk horse.

@valtmy  Oyy, that’s tough! I hope you’re e…[Read more]

@dekreel Yes, and you promised you wouldn’t disappear… 😛

Anyway, I’m working on a completely new project now and considering writing a screenplay.  Cool stuff. 😛

Poor Bobert has been pretty much neglected lately.  I think that is partially the fault of @sam-kowal for keeping Stan away, since Stan is Bobert’s favorite sentient being besides m…[Read more]

@valtmy  Hi! Good to see you!

Going okay. How are you?

@rochellaine  Hey, hey!! I know, it’s been a while! 😀

I’m doing okay. Sorry I haven’t been around much. The Aetherlight has been so addicting…

How is, um… Bobert doing? XD

@dekreel Hellooooo!!!  Finally! 😀 😀 😀 😀 (I was camping with my family yesterday, which is why I wasn’t here.)

How are you doing??

@seekjustice Hey, I’m finally back.

Haha!  Well, you liked Brigadoon, right? 😉  That’s an old musical.  It premiered on Broadway in 1947.

Yes, that part is pretty bad.  It made the play, the musical, and the m…[Read more]

You know you’re a writer when you see a tall stack of clean, fresh notebooks at the store and you go, “MUST… HAVE…!!!!!”

@rochellaine  @seekjustice  @catwing  @jenwriter17  @valtmy

HELLOOOO! I’m beta-reading again.

Okay, I’m done. Bye, guys.

And don’t worry, Rochellaine, WE SHALL MEET ONE DAY. I’m sure of it.

@rochellaine  @catwing  @seekjustice  @valtmy  @jenwriter17  @anyone

I’m beta-reading! Anyone here?

@seekjustice I’m sure you’re not still up, but…

What did you think??  It was at least better than Liliom, right? 😛  How did you like the singers? (they used their real voices, unlike some musical actors, such as the ones in West Side Story) Gordon MacRae is one of my favorite singers.  What was your favorite character? Scene? Song?

I’m ac…[Read more]

@catwing @seekjustice @valtmy I don’t know if anyone’s still here, but I’ll be leaving for now.  I don’t know if I’ll be back later tonight or not.

Bye!

@seekjustice Yes, I know.  But we’re used to it, so we don’t really think about it I guess.

Five foot fourteen

And that’s where we differ. 😛  I see why you have to use it, because you use another form of measurement, but we would very rarely, if ever, say “he’s six foot three inches.”  We’d just say “he’s six three.”

@seekjustice 😛 That’s hilarious.

Ah, numbers again, huh? 😉

What what?  We don’t appreciate the number ten? 😛  Haha, but I’ve mixed up the number of inches in a foot before as well.

Oh, there was a funny scene in a book where the hero was 6’2″.  At one point a kid looked way up at him and said, “how tall are you?” and then another man th…[Read more]

@catwing Sorry, I won’t be going. 🙁

@seekjustice Oh, wait.  You probably don’t use feet and inches measurements in Australia, do you?  Whoops. 😛

@seekjustice I would imagine that’s because, like Clint Eastwood, he’s still alive and working today.  Frankie Avalon is 78 years old, but still tours the U.S. giving concerts.  (I got to go to one in February.  It was my Christmas present from my parents. 😀 )

Justice is short?!  That’s a new one. 😛  Even if Zac is 6’2″ (anything taller than…[Read more]

@seekjustice @catwing seems to be the queen of curious expressions.  She says a lot of strange things. 😛 (potato-squash, anyone?)

But…I was wondering the same thing. 😉
