My reading was 339 words per minutes, but I don't get enough time to read. It would take me 176 days to read all of the Games of Thrones because I said I could devote 30 minutes a day. I've read the first three already though and I'm not going to continue.

[Leland]

1560 a minute?! Dang Nicki!!!!

{{{{bows}}}} I'm not worthy. Lol

It did, in fact, take me 5 days to do my la..."

wow

[Mike (the Paladin)]

....I was never timed????

Hi Quinn.

I haven't worked on my hobby in days. Our Tom cat (Xander) has decided that my leather work area is a dandy place to sleep.

[Elise]

You could read the entire Game of Thrones collection in 72 days. (352 days faster than the average person!)

Your reading speed is 279 words per minute.

Though I wonder how quick I am reading my own language!

My dog Rook... I always call him Rookie, Rick, or Rickie. Never Rook..."

We add Bear to our cats names too. Angel- Bear & Ku Bear. (Goku but we call him Ku).

Anyone here do Halloween costumes?

This year I'm gonna go pretty low key, and just wear some devil horns in my hair, with my black dragon scale skirt and a red tank top and black hoodie.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

...so, just combing your hair back????

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Are you aware your right eye is larger tha your left?????

Yeah, I asked my eye doctor about it, but he said it's nothing to worry about.

(Funnily enough, one of my pupils is generally larger than the other... )

Husbands are stupid. Jer never dresses up, either, but I just do it anyway.

You're so right about that.

And its so late now... I guess I can go as generic "Urban Fantasy Girl" but only an avid reader would get it.

[HomeInMyShoes]

I was thinking of going as John McEnroe. Get a headband and some short white shorts and then yell at everyone.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Don't forget a tennis racquet. :>

[Leland]

A broken tennis racquet.

[HomeInMyShoes]

I've got one. Well, not broken, but I'm sure I could get an old one somewhere. I know I've got one without any strings in it. That might suffice.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

lol!!

My (belated) results:

You could read the entire Game of Thrones collection in 29 days. (395 days faster than the average person!)

Your reading speed is 520 words per minute.

If you read for 2hours each day, you could get through 229 books per year
(based on the average length of a bestseller - 99,390 words).

Yeah, sure, test. Apparently I'm just better at tests than reading in real life... LOL

[HomeInMyShoes]

I just looked and I just reached 500 books read on Goodreads. Woohoo for useless numbers!

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

I like to do costumes, but can't afford a whole new one this year. So I'll either be a generic Roman chick or Rogue, because those are what I have on hand:

(view spoiler)[
(hide spoiler)]

Next year I want to be a wood elf. Working on picking up pieces of the costume throughout the next year...

[Becky]

You were Rogue last year right? so I'd go with the Roman one.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Yeah, I'll likely go Roman since I was Rogue last year. But I did really like my Rogue costume... Much comfier. Don't know if I'd fit in those pants anymore though :P

pppppffffffffffffffffft! whatever. I'm sure you'll fit.

[Lee]

I always wanted to wear a Star Trek Starfleet uniform. Not necessarily for Halloween. Just... You know... Whenever. Lol. Or Jedi robes. If I do anything this year it'll probably just be a lame superhero t-shirt. Not doing anything anyway, just carving pumpkins and handing out candy. We're doing a Dr Seuss theme this year. I guess I should find something to match. My partner in crime already has a cat in the hat, hat.

Have you ever thought of getting one of these dresses, or something? http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1c62...

http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/d7a3...

Etsy has some cute skirts, too.


Just saying... :)

J..."

I love the 2nd dress. It's not quite the dress Uhura wore but its close.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

Ok, so I've decided to do Uhura for Holloween because Colleen.

OMG. The price options are out of control.

The ones I liked the most:

One I will probably buy:
This one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B...

Or this one: http://www.buycostumes.com/p/60263/st...

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

The last two look almost identical to me, so I'd definitely go for the cheaper one.

They look pretty much the same but #1 seems not to be made as well as #2. Lots of complaints about not being even close to true to size and hanging like a sad sack. But its cheaper...

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Ah. Yeah, Jer was lookig at a Rubie's costume for something else, and it kinda had crap reviews, too. I think he ended up going for something pricier but better, as well.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Speaking of my crazy husband, this will be the first year he's decided to dress up, and he's gonna be the Grim Reaper (sans makeup, just the robe) - but he's decided he needs to buy an actual scythe...

Because of course he does.

I have a friend who did that...and bought a real scythe. Which stands around in the corner now...

I figured that's where ours will go, too. Because we don't already have enough random weaponry hanging out in corners... o_O

And that was my concern if I go as "Generic Urban Fantasy Heroine" weapons.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

....pictures, remember we need pictures...really.

Of the girls, I couldn't care less about the guys.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

lol

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hey it's strictly from artistic interest...especially of those Star Trek dresses.....

If You Bought A Red Bull In The Last 12 Years They Owe You Money — Here’s The Easy Way To Get It: http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrell...

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

What if you bought roughly 5,000 Red Bulls? LOL. I still only get $10 :(

[DoodlePanda]

Looks like it's only refunded in America as well :(

I think we need to stage an intervention. O_o

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

I've never purchased a Red Bull because I value my taste buds.

[DoodlePanda]

I buy them to use for Jeigerbombs... *drool*

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Pfft, they are delicious. I already quit though, I got a sodastream and now I drink the diet energy of that. It's close enough. And waaaaaaay cheaper.

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

Always think of this when I hear red bull.
