Jasmine’s Comments (group member since Nov 21, 2010)

Jasmine’s comments from the The Extra Cool Group! (of people Michael is experimenting on) group.

I like that fuck is every part of speech.

it is an all purpose word. Next year my nanowrimo will be written using only the different forms of fuck*.

*perhaps fucking.

Actually I have to say, well this is a bit weird. I hate almost every book nick hornby writes about in the believer (that's not actually true, I bought a couple and liked them, but the majority are trashy, yup nick hornby reads trash) but I still buy books that he's blurbed, although the content of the blurb matters (I bought one day because of his blurb and loved it) and he has yet to steer me wrong.

On the other hand stephen king blurbs everything, but it also willing to trash books, it's always tough to tell if he can be trusted.

I do like intros though, like gaiman's intro to jonathan strange and mr. norrell.

Sometimes I also will read interviews with the author about the book before I buy it.

I think maybe just don't use adverbs.

does that sentence have an adverb... This is going to require phrase trees.

not hard I think

today is a noun.

at least you don't suddenly want to stab yourself.


I think I overuse the letter e.

I tried really hard to not use the letter e in that sentence and totally failed.

I assume that is a different jasmine...

you can use the word douche as much as you want.


I don't think I have any kind of an adverb problem myself.

I write M/M, Ms. Jasmine, and personally find twincest rather icky."

interesting.

why is so much m/m written by women?

hey how many m/m romance gurus do I get to talk to. I need to know if torn was a fluke or if they are all that bad

how do you feel about twincest books?

I clicked your link and then I used ctrl+f to find your name. If you click on comments under your review it brings you to the thread page. I used that url.

I love that review.

I love all my reviews equally.

In reality I can't remember every review I've written, of what I remember:

holding still for as long as possible
it's the only one that I really went creative on.

among other things I've taken up smoking.
I feel like it really brings my experience and context into the reading of the book.

or


one day
Because I like that the review is completely out of line with the rating, but I think I explain the state dependent reaction to the book well

I tend to over use the spoilers button because I know it does bother people. like my torn review I didn't want to spoil it for karen. I actually think knowing someone else's reading of a book can spoil it, as I have said a couple places I generally don't read reviews of a book before I read at least part of the book because I want to establish my own place with the book.

I don't understand the concept of spoilers probably because I don't care if a book is "spoiled" for me

you are very straight forward. I enjoy it.

actually now when I read a book I keep thinking of great starts to reviews while I read it. Then when I write the review I forget all the super interesting and intelligent things I was going to say and I just act like myself.

(this is one of the reasons I like status, I can put these "review thoughts" there while I read and then they are out of my head and I can concentrate on the book.

will you read a book because there is a blurb on it from an author you like?

i think if you have completed all the tasks you should just continue the sex conversations
