v He's an amazing composer. Someone to look up to :)
Mod
> One day someone will be looking through "famous composers" and will find "Leah ____" in the list ;) Right up by Beethoven.
v Seriously. I bet you're brilliant.
^ Oh my goodness. Really? Erm. Well. I will try to get some of my pieces up here...> Although I'll be writing and composing under Corinne W. ________ (don't want to reveal my last name on here)
v That's... wow. That is one of the nicest things that people have said to me about my music, and you haven't even heard one!
Mod
> :D
v I shall look forward to them:)
Mod
> I haven't read any of his books, but they look good.
v How, when, where, what happened? :)
^ He's awesome.> It's Book Week (in Australia at least) and my school managed to snag him for a writer's workshop and a talk
v One of my favourite books is his Silvermay so I was pretty excited :)
^ It's book week?! How do I not know this?
> Sounds fun.
v I should read Silvermay...
> Sounds fun.
v I should read Silvermay...
^ You should. It's really good :)> YOU DON'T KNOW DIS???
V INNO! YOU'RE A TRAITOR TO THE BOOKWORM SOCIETY!! (Lol. Not really)
^ Uh... whoops.
> I know... I feel like I total cheated on books.
v OH, the horror. *wink*
> I know... I feel like I total cheated on books.
v OH, the horror. *wink*
^ YOU ARE DISGRACED!> Lol. Anyway.
v How are you?
Mod
> Gotta go.
v See you Aussies later :)

^ Can't believe I never realized. *facepalm*
> See ya Jo. Wait... We have a book month?
v Watching X-factor Aus... Hmmm...
> See ya Jo. Wait... We have a book month?
v Watching X-factor Aus... Hmmm...
^ Never really saw the point of X-factor. If they're truly talented, they can get there on their own.> In fact, I never really see the point of any reality TV show
v Except the Hunger Games
^ Yeh. Sorry. I should probably be clearer.
> My family is watching X-factor. I'm surfing GR.
v Hunger Games rocks, but I think itd be met with too much protest if it were attempted in real life...
> My family is watching X-factor. I'm surfing GR.
v Hunger Games rocks, but I think itd be met with too much protest if it were attempted in real life...
^ Yeah, I know. It was such a brilliant idea, though... Not that I want it to be real *shudders*>
v Good on you for being a rebel and not watching it :)
^ Yeah. We're pretty happy in this universe/time.
> Do they have internet connection in the HG world? :/
v Eh... Think its over now... They turned off the TV.
> Do they have internet connection in the HG world? :/
v Eh... Think its over now... They turned off the TV.
^ Okay> The Capitol would, but not the districts. Well, maybe 1, 2 & 4 would, what with them being the Capitol's most favoured districts
v MUST. FINISH. ESSAY *falls asleep*
^ I never thought about it before today... Hmmm...
> Good luck. :)
v I think I have homework actually... Lot of hw. *groan*
> Good luck. :)
v I think I have homework actually... Lot of hw. *groan*
^ I have - A load of maths homework due Thursday, the science presentation due Thursday, zeh essay due tomorrow. Probably some other things as well. The only thing I'm really excited about is the book trailer> STOP WITH THE SMILES IT'S NOTHING TO SMILE ABOUT!
v *sigh* I would much prefer reading. I haven't opened my book in a while, sadly - due to all the homework I'm getting. And it'll get worse. Especially as I'm getting exams at the end of THIS YEAR
^ I kinda feel bad for you... HOmework sucks. (So tempted to add a smile there)
> I have exams at the end of the year too. Everyone expects me to get like 100% all round...
v And then there's me who legitimately thinks I'm going to do horribly... :/
> I have exams at the end of the year too. Everyone expects me to get like 100% all round...

^ Everyone thinks that> *sigh* These are going to be my FIRST exams. I'm more than a little nervous.
v It does :( I mean, I get why we have it, but it sucks
^ Exams are just big tests. > They're not that bad.
V reallyl.
^ *narrows eyes* Are you sure?> Ernyegh. I'll find out soon enough
v How are you?
^ I'm alright. > fingers hurt a fair bit.
V but that's to be expected for two hours of guitar playing.
^ Yeah. > Is that like my hand hurting after an hour of violin playing?
v Not that I have time for it, much.
^ yeah, that's what it's like. > They hurt from pressing down on teh strings.
V so yeah.
^ It's more my hand> because of holding up the violin and the bow
v My fingers are used to it :)
^ well, I have callouses. > huge ones.
V it's just the constant pressure on a small surface gets through.
^ I would guess that you do, you seem to play A. LOT.> I don't play that much
v Now I want to hear you play
^ I do play A LOT. > Like, two hours a day, maybe.
V I would love to play for you.
^ That would be amazing> I look forward to the day I can hear you play in person :)
v Rah
^ Saw some talk about The Hunger Games earlier. I wouldn't be a very interesting contestant. I'd get together a bunch of the other players, win them over with my considerable charisma and charm, and we'd sit it out and refuse to kill anyone. Even if we got killed (which is likely), it's better to be killed than to commit the sin of murder.> DATS HOW I ROLL!
V There's a part of me that wants to write a Hunger Games fanfiction with that premise.
^ Go for it Eris! I'm sure it'll turn out really great. > Personally I did not like the Hunger Games at all (It's one of my least favorite books; I'm probably one of the only people who thinks that...), partly because I don't like that genre and also because I was forced to read it in school for a class a couple years ago. I'd rant about how much I disliked it, but I think I'll spare you all for today ;)
V What is your least favorite book?
^ I'm "meh" about the series, personally. The first book had some good points to it, but it didn't deliver to the extent that I would have liked. The two sequels were disappointing, especially Mockingjay.> My least favorite book? I have quite a few. Hush Hush, Catcher in the Rye, Fallen, Fifty Shades of Grey, and The Da Vinci Code.
V Usually I like to focus on the books I adore.
^I liked HG, but definitely not my favorite books. They really made me think, and affected me emotionally, which is a plus (I think)
>My childhood favorite book:The Phantom Tollbooth Current favorite series:Dragons in Our Midst: The Complete Series Not to mention the Harry Potter series and anything Percy Jackson
v Hello!

v Hello!
Mod
> Except she refuses to like PJ the best
v Then I just walk away sadly
^ Well, we can't have the same favorite series, can we?
> Harry Potter will always win out.
v Don't walk away! Percy Jackson still is amazing! I wouldn't write a fanfic for it otherwise! *offers hug*
> Harry Potter will always win out.
