@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…!!!!!”

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

It was better than Liliom, definitely. I’m not sure I could say that I liked it though. The more of these old musicals I watch the more I’m sure I’ll never find one that I love 🙂
I think though, my main problem was that the ending made me really uncomfortable, especially the part where Louise and Julie talk about being hit and never feeling a…[Read more]

@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?

@catwing We’ll see you when you get back!
@rochellaine I watched Carousel tonight.

@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!

True. I’ve been learning imperial measurement in math lately and it drives me crazy.
Ah, I see. Usually, we’d say “so and so is five foot nine,” we usually leave off the inches, but still say the feet.

Rochellaine replied to the topic Stars Fill Infinity in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 2 months ago
@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.”

Numbers are the bane of my life.
You don’t appreciate ten because all your measurements are so random and weird and all over the place. In metric measures, everything is in ten–10 millimetres in a centimetre, 100 centimetres in a metre, 1000 metres in a kilometre. Its very easy to remember 😀
Five foot fourteen 😛

Rochellaine replied to the topic Stars Fill Infinity in the forum Novel Critique Requests 8 years, 2 months ago
@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]

This is where the problem is, my friend. We use imperial measurements for heights because its sounds cooler to say “I’m 5ft 5in”, rather than “I’m 170cm tall”. However, I forgot that a foot is twelve inches, not ten. So while Justice is 5’9”, and Zac is 6’1″ that’s actually a difference much larger than two. 😛
But its not my fault…[Read more]

@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]
