Getting to Know You

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

Alyssa: I would have to make you a moderator...and I think I will; you're cool enough.

Harli: YOU watched MOONLIGHT? The one that they cut after the first season??? The one that only two other people in the world have seen besides me??? NFW!!

[Maxine]

no. It just appeared there one day. I thought it was sweet whoever wrote it. :)

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

Thanks Tia!

I feel honored! lol

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

We are talking about the same show, though, right? The vampire one.

lol Alyssa you're welcome

[Maxine]

Moonlight was semi-popular. I knew a lot of people who watched it. I'm more of an Angel fan though. That's my show <3.

I watched an episode of True Blood and was blown away by the way it was filmed. If it ever comes out on DVD or any sort of way to make it easier for me to watch--I so would. Love those books any way.

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

You can watch practically any show on surfthechannel.com, it has saved my life...well, not exactly...but if you want to watch that True Blood thing, you can see it there...of course most times it's pretty bad quality video.

[Maxine]

I don't like to watch things online. It hurts my eyes after awhile for some reason. Sometimes I watch Birds of Prey though.

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

I'm kinda used to watching things online now; it's kinda sad. I almost don't need TVo, though, so that's a good thing.

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

This is getting confusing!!!!

[korrinamoe]

That's when you change the topic to orange popsicles and blowing things up!!

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

lol Now I am really confused!!!

[korrinamoe]

Just change the subject to something random. That's what I do when I get lost in that conversation.

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

Ok

Did you know that $60 million dollars in Iraq is only worth $1 million here?

[korrinamoe]

Whoa. That's a lot, but a big difference!

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

Yeah!

Did you know that swine flu is not really as bad as they say it is.

36,000 people die from the flu yearly anyway.

It will only seriously effect the very young, very old, or anybody who has a weak imune(how do you spell that?) system. You won't die from it, you will just get it, and get better!

[korrinamoe]

I know. They make it a big deal this year. It happens every year.

Btw, it's immune system.

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

Thank you!

I could not win a spelling bee to save my life!!!

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

I hate the whole swine flu thing...because of it we couldn't have blankets on the flights, and I was freezing and the first flight was really early in the morning and the flight back went from night 'till morning!

Stupid swine flu, ruining my trip...


I don't think you're that bad at spelling...I know people who are worse. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY worse.

[korrinamoe]

Same here. They spell simple words wrong. They act like H1N1 Swine Influenza is a big deal, even though it happens every year.

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

Did you know that they came up with the H1N1 because the people in Egypt freaked out and started killing all their pigs?

(I like my new thing next to my name!!!!)

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

Wow, that's weird.

LOL, do you really? Thought you might.

*smiles*

[Shruti]

no i haven't been writing for long...i cant really say much about my writing cause it isn't that good

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

Don't say that. I'm sure you're great and I would love to see some of your writing.

Everyone. EVERYONE thinks their work is bad at some point. It turns out, most times, to be FANTASTIC.

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

That is totally true!!

[korrinamoe]

Have you ever daydreamed something? Well, that could easily become a story! Writing doesn't have to be all big words with tons of descriptions. No one is the best at it. It can also just be for fun!

[Erika, The Big Band Theory. Our thing. Don't steal it.]

True, I always have random inspirations!

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

Roses and kisses and melodic cadences
All she needed was love
At the end of the day
When all is said and all is done
All she needs is love...

I'm sorry, your rose picture just reminded me of that song and I need to really shut up now.

[Shruti]

i'm still not sure about my writing style and stuff...and i haven't even finished writing a whole story yet(a novel kind of story)

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

Do you know how many novel-sized stories I've finished to date? Guess.

[Shruti]

4??

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

One. I have only finished one out of the 7+ stories I've started. And it's terrible! All my unfinished stories are far better than that one finished one, because I rushed it. It doesn't matter what's finished or not, just as long as it's good. I mean, eventually it HAS to end, but if you rush it or push it, it won't turn out well.

[korrinamoe]

I know exactly how you feel. I get ideas, and then I don't finish any. But some authors take years to finish a novel. You don't need to finish one in six months. Take it step by step. ANyway, please join this group:

If We All Cared http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1...

[Shruti]

well i have tons of story starters but...i dont know...i guess i could try to finish one even though it might take me a while

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

That's the spirit! Just be careful not to get overwhelmed. That's a real writersblocker.

[korrinamoe]

YAY! I take a while to finish writing something unless I have done a lot of research on that topic, I'm interested, and I think about it a lot. That's how I finished writing I Am Lina so fast. I had gotten so into her life.
Don't give up no matter how discouraged you get. It isn't fun to later think about that unfinished story.

[Tia Todd, I am addicted to Mountain Dew and Adam Gontier's voice.]

I know what you mean...and you changed your name...now I'm going to be confused some more.

But yeah...It's a lot easier to write if you're connected with your character. It's odd, though; I feel more connected with other people's characters than my own.

[korrinamoe]

Who changed their name?

I get into some people's characters sometimes, but not REALLY connected.

[korrinamoe]

Idk what to talk about. We can talk about...pretty green grass!

Grass can be a bright beautiful color, or a dead brown color. Anything you want to talk about?

[[deleted user]]

Maybe our favorite writing subjects.
