message 301: by Virginie (new)

Virginie | 6109 comments Hahaha. As much as I'd like to pin this on my crazy multitasking skills, I think it's more of a timezone confusion here xD
See, it was the afternoon when I told you all about my sudden encounter with the floor. Also, I was def distracted after that. Was busy celebrating my sister's birthday, which involved lots of food and wine :D :D :D

I'm not trying to escape! If anything, I'm the creepy stalker, remember? 😈


message 302: by Zaara (new)

Zaara | 4273 comments Let us immediately blame the food and ;-) the wine!
Salut🍷I hope your sister had a wonderful b'day, Virginie. What is she like? Is she older than us? Does she like to read? Is she on GR in this group? Marge has a sister named...wait for it...Zara (only one A) who likes to go to the gym + read WoT long ago...but that's all I know 😂😂😂 still...I went and typed it!

Hehe, she did :)
She just turned 30! She's..huh... beautiful (seriously, I'm not saying that just cause she's family), highly social, determined & ambitious but above all, fierce. She has a very strong personality and is terrifying when she's pissed off. I used to think of her as a dragon when I was little; I would not have been surprised had she started breathing fire xD She's also incredibly gentle with those she loves, and as the eldest, very protective towards me :)
Hum... What else? She likes to run, and started doing triathlons recently. Used to read a lot as a kid, but not anymore. She's always busy busy busy doing plenty of activities and I don't think she'd enjoy sitting down and just read :p


message 305: by Virginie (new)

Virginie | 6109 comments Oh, and her name is Carole.

Zaara | 4273 comments @Gin...
She sounds perfectly lovely...

Meanwhile....
*puts on a doleful voice*
O excellent Finbar...we bring tribute...

How innocent we were back then :)

6 books was nothing compared to the monster I turned into in 2018

Sweet, sweet innocent times 😂

Zaara | 4273 comments You know what I found really innocent was when you and Ron made your Stormlight "debut" over at GGG...those essays were so...endearing. You both were so effin' sweet.

Here is an oath you must both bring...you guys should ALWAYS read the new SA books on release and NEVER read this series (for the first time) without each other...this series and you guys go like bread and butter.

EDIT Somewhere in America both Ron and Fin are yerking hard at the thought of being called Sweeeetnussssssss...but its true...everyone should go chk out those essays...they reminded me of Blake's Songs of Innocence....

We had a great time on our first read-through... I was chomping at the bit to start reading the Coppermind wiki for details...


message 311: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments Lovely! What's the right way to adress a Timelord?

The Doctor ;)

It just seemed like everyone was adding a title... and I like the show... and books with time travel and alternate realities in general...

To commemorate my new title, I added Time Pimp back to my TBR... it should have appeared in my feed right around when I updated my profile... I stumbled across the book in another group last year and thought the blurb was hilarious, even if I'd probably never read it...


message 313: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments Haha ok, I wasn't sure how ambitious you were. Everyone should have a title these days!

But as the feed doesn't show when you changed your name, I missed this connection. And I guess I was asleep anyway...
The book sounds sooo ridiculous! Might be so bad it become good again :D

Karishma (karishmanewar) | 1619 comments Doctor Who is my absolute favourite show! Glad to see a fellow fan!

Apparently, Bizarro is an entire genre of fiction... one I've flirted with a few times, but never read too much of... it's all so silly...

But I'm a fan of the phrase "jive-ass turkeys"... have been for awhile...

I think I meant the new World of Warcraft expansion dropped... back on August 14th... kinda got distracted goldmaking... been playing way too much since May... first time I've been sucked back in this heavily in nearly a decade...


message 324: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments How unexciting 😂😂

Timelord Iain | 35636 comments Mod
I never hid the fact I listen to books while gaming at home... it's why I don't watch much TV/Movies... but I've been more distracted by it this past month than the previous 3, where I would constantly tab out and refresh the notification page... tabbing out is kinda frowned on in group play :)


message 326: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments I just hoped 'your thing' would be a little more mysterious :D Like hiding in the wood and doing some dark magic... something worth wearing a dark hood.

First of all....
Welcome to the Order, @Kari...now the Holy Father will immediately bless you.
I bet you didn't know that Iain is actually a priest in his other life?
Well, you are new here...but don't worry....now I am here and we all know how Oonagh is very helpful and sicouraging to all.
Please address him very respectfully, as His Eminence or he will BE OFFEND since he is very fragile due to his great old age and intense holiness...
As you can see, Kari (from our extremely respectful posts) we are all very deferential to him in all the ways!

Well, if you mean the thing where the forklift is actually a time machine...
Unless it is the other thing, @Anni...
😜
Yeah...booo...unexciting...unless...ask him HOW he makes the gold...

You won't mind if I sometimes also use #TheProfessor? All professors are PhDs whereas all doctors may not necessarily be professors.
Now...using the Venn Diagrams...this can be explained by drawing a series of intersecting circles...like so...😂😂😂

Oh I was wondering why his holiness did not reply to my comment.

A respectful greeting to the holy father - it is my honour to be a fellow Doctor Who fan!

I think I'll keep my goldmaking ways mysterious... the math I was throwing around in the Spreadsheet thread just scared everyone...


message 334: by Zaara (last edited Sep 08, 2018 04:58AM) (new)

Zaara | 4273 comments There was even more math on the spreadsheet thread?
😂
Meanwhile....I drew a pic of Shadesmar on Year Two...come see, Fin...it is too dorky a stunningly beautiful pyramidic progressiom....pleasing to the eye in its mathematic lines....

EDIT Ok it is stupid but I am very proud of it...and was EXTREMELY IMPATIENT until you logged on...to see it...now that you have, I will logout. Ok bye i go now.

Actually... I think I mean the Year 2 Rules thread... the section where I was talking about reciprocal fractions... the importance of 75% and 133% when they change the audiobook penalty to a physical book bonus....

Haha...it is so funny how similar you both are...you have so many common interests...the love of tech and math and spreadsheets...I'm sure there are many more things...Kate Daniels...
😊
But never mind all that...I am just randomly babbling...meanwhile, here is a new ugly picture bcuz I think Brother Finbar may have made 1500 poimts??
Meanwhile...I don't think I even reached 500 poimts yet, Virginie? Or the Tome Raiders would've deffo informed/cheered me, no?

(view spoiler)

And.....since we must NEVARR discriminate, forget, exclude, or oppress the womem...here is also something for the Beauteous Lain!
(view spoiler)

OBSXCURITY CLEARANCE for @Kari:
Lain is Iain's (female) evil twin. She is even more evil than Oonagh!
😱
But alack and alas, nobody can see this (bcuz she is also too cunning)...and thus it has been decided...
The Champion of The Joust in the 2019 Team Reading Tournament wins The Fair Lain's favour. We will all see this next year....MUHAAAAAHAAAAA!
Additional Note:
Also Lain likes pretty things whereas Finbar likes to collect extremely ugh-ly and random pictures as souvenirs of his time travels.
There! Now you are caught up to speed on the history of this August and Ilustrious Order.


message 340: by Virginie (new)

Virginie | 6109 comments You haven't reached 500 points yet, sweety. I'll def tell you with plenty pretty pics on your tracker when you do :D

So... I can claim another title for myself: the cunning boots thief.

😈


message 341: by Zaara (last edited Sep 09, 2018 03:02AM) (new)

Zaara | 4273 comments I don't know about whether you were cunning....or a thief....since Shallan just asked him and Peter immediately handed them over....but if you also want to be cunning....go right ahead....😂😂😂
The new title is yours...
Virginie...it IS your second time reading WoR, right? Bcuz....with all your Shallan love, I deffo assumed you have read it before....

EDIT Hey can you make a picture of Shadesmar using emoticons? Bcuz I swear you could do it better than me....with waves n all....I kept thinking how you'll know how to do it better than me...but I was too lazy and ALSO too impatient.....


message 342: by Virginie (new)

Virginie | 6109 comments Yup, second time. I don't remember the specifics of the scene though, just that Shallan threw a tantrum while pretending to be some foreign princess and "persuaded" Kal to give her his new boots xD

(just like I was "persuaded" to join a BR by a certain ghost... :p)
