The be as silly or obscure as you want thread

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

New beginnings and a celebration of the capricious nature of the fantasy community.

[Chris]

Saw this late last night as I was starting a yawn. Ended up laughing at the same time and my wife thought I was having an aneurysm.

[Beste]

Guess this is the place we should move in after the Zaara and Iain can say whatever they want thread @Iain, @Zaara, @Margret, @Siobhan

[Anni]

And it starts promising :D :D

[Siobhan]

I love you guys and I can't wait to be silly af, but I've put myself on a strict reading deadline tonight so my boyfriend is confiscating my phone 😂 😂

That is level-up commitment lol.

[Beste]

@Siobhan I wish to reach that level but I start failing at the planning first. Especially after Mistborn. I liked the books I read afterwards but I didn't find them satisfying. thats how much it sucked my emotions. I want to read Stormlight Archive now but worried about the aftereffects.

[Siobhan]

*steals phone back* I have issues man!! I'm due to start Well of Ascension on 24th and I'm half way through 2 books! So I decided to finish Girl of Ink and Stars tonight, I'm nearly there! XD

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

You can do it!!

[Siobhan]

Niki Hawkes wrote: "You can do it!!"

Thanks Niki! Just finished, woooo! :) I WILL be on time for Well of Ascension! XD

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Wow, that was fast haha. Nice!!!

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I've been reading Oathbringer for 8 days now... 50 pages left... I don't even know how far behind I've fallen on other reading this month anymore...

[Siobhan]

Don't you worry Iain, sounds like Oathbringer has been worth it?? :)

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Oh it has... was a great book... but I've only finished 5-6 books this month... and the month is almost over already... oh well... at least I've managed to keep up with most of my Buddy Reads...

[Chris]

Finishing 5 or 6 books a month for me is a great month, of course I don't do audio though!

I will finish the Blade Itself today or tomorrow, so I will be ready, too! :) Hurray!

[image error]

I can't make this image thing work...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

5-6 is nothing to sneeze at, I know... but the last 6 months I've been managing 15-18 pretty steadily... so it's a sharp decline...

Yayy I'm excited Anni! :D

Oathbringer is the size of like 10 normal books though... XD
5 or 6 is a good month for me too.

Aw send a link?!

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I have issues posting images from my phone Siobhan, that may be the problem

[Siobhan]

I have issues posting images too, normally takes a good few attempts messing with the html before it works! XD took me ages to figure out the image hosting thing!

[Chris]

Yeah I use a tablet for everything, but I use the website not the mobile site. So let's try...

Anyways, that's the best I can do...with my limited computer/tablet skills

Ha! 😂 nice costume xD

[Anni]

This link lead me to a facebookpage of Dustin Pho from California, no pictures... Is there a joke I don't understand or is my phone messing with me? :D

[Anni]

Ah my bad, I used the Link Siobhan quoted with the end missing...
But the other one doesn't work for me neigher. Damn... I think this is a sign to stop using my phone and go reading :D

Haha yes, get with the program Anni, it's nearly Mistborn 2 time... XD

My boyfriend wasn't around to confiscate my phone tonight so I've been distracted a lot... Haha! 😂

Well, finally somewhere to let the world know how stupid I am. You see, there's a thread called "The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin," and I always seemed to skip over the word "by." So, I always imagined it was some thread discussing the author herself who was, I guess, Dispossessed, whatever that meant. Even worse, I never clicked on the thread to see what it was about

😂 😂 it's funny the way our brains work sometimes! When did you figure out you were wrong?

[Anni]

Thanks for sharing Saul, that's hilarious 😂 Especially because it's something that could have happened to me likewise...

[idiffer]

I misread things constantly. I also finish people's centences in funny ways before they finish them.
So I follow a person NMmomof4. And only today I realised that her nickname has a sentence in it "mom of four" and that I've been calling her momford in my head.

That sounds like something I would do.

[Saul the Heir of Isauldur]

@Siobhan When I finally saw the physical book at the bookstore and saw that it was titled "The Dispossessed," it hit me: it's a book!

Haha bet you thought Ahhh that makes much more sense.... XD

Sure did. I still haven't a clue what the book is about, but I know it's a book. That's got to count for something. Improvement!

[Beste]

What to read on a 11.5 hrs flight?
Fahrenheit 451
The Cruelty
King of Thorns
The Dispossessed (@Saul thanks for reminding:)
or Brave New World ?

[Siobhan]

First off, where you going?! :)
Second, I haven't read any of them, but they all sound awesome. I vote The Dispossessed... XD

[Beste]

İstanbul-Newyork, then Montreal then back to İstanbul; only in 5 days. I will try to beat the jetlag with reading. I don't think it will help to second jetlag though. I might sleep for 2 3 days when I get back :))

[Anni]

I've read Fahrenheit 451 years ago and liked it :)

[Anni]

Sounds amazing! Have fun! :)

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I hope you love Montreal as much as I did. I think it’s about as European as Canada gets LOL

[Beste]

Anni wrote: "Sounds amazing! Have fun! :)"

The Dispossessed packed
Fahrenheit 451 packed
Thanks girls:)

Tell me where to go shopping then. I only have 3hrs meeting and then 2off days

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Sorry I haven’t been in years so I’m no help!

St Catherine Street is the place to go shopping. Most interesting shops are there or close by. There you will find the bigger stores, so it is great for window shopping. For smaller local shops you will want to check the Plateau neighbourhood, a good starting point is the metro Mont Royal.

Avoid driving in Montreal. The city has an insane amount of road work going on, so traffic is insane.

I lived around Montreal for seven years. I just moved to another province this year. :)

[Siobhan]

Hope you have a fab time! :)

[Beste]

thank you, thank you, thank you! I will stay around St Catherines:)) unknowingly chosen the good place yayyy:))

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I hope you have a lovely time in your short stay :)

[Zaara]

Cometh the hour and the day for me to be obscure on this thread. And considering the current EPIC shytefulness of my connection...this post...and a miracle if it actually loads...
Here be my highest literary achievement...obscure but oh so pretty.

A moment to appreciate this lovely lady and just how hard she sometimes has it...



Now where are the T-shirts that read All Satin...all the way. Ima get in line for one of those today. One gets these random impulses.

[Zaara]

Heh. And it worked!
