I took lessons in grade school from 3rd grade on. I even played organ in church for a few years, back when I went to church. (It was fun playing Phantom of the Opera after people were mostly gone, though.)Then I was in the Pit in high school marching band, playing xylophones and things, which are set up the same.
It's been awhile and I'm a bit rusty, but I think I still got the basics down.
Yay Summer is here :) (but not Glau :( )
Hate is such a strong word. I don't even hate Kevin, as hard as that may be to believe. I've recently learned that hate is something that should be saved and only dished out to those who truly are deserving it. I can honestly say there is only one person I personally know/knew that I hate, and they aren't around anymore so I guess I don't hate anyone living.Just saying. We don't hate Kevin. Not even me. It's just sooooooo fun to play this little game...
Oh... my. WHAT the hell was that that I just watched? O_O
Ronald, be prepared. I'm about to snoop through your book list. If the important ones are missing, I feel obligated as your new friend to give you a reading list.Seriously, I'm a teacher. There may be homework!
Ala,You are my star pupil. I think our book compatability is in the 90's. Go us!
Ronald,
dude, you only have 20 some books. Either that's because you haven't added past reads just yet, or... Well, I think some recommendations are in order!
. One of the greatest space opera series of all time. Bujold is genius! You will LOVE Miles Vorkosigan!
is the first in a trilogy of trilogies. Robin Hobb is perhaps the greatest of all time at character development. You'll cry, they'll become a part of you!
Have you heard any fantasy book lovers drooling over how cool Glotka is? Read this, and you'll know why!
Amazing!
the most beautiful prose, an eloquently told story, and a must buy!
if you've ever read Scalzi's blog, you know, he has a way with words!
Supernatural detective... Who is a smart ass? Yes please!Oh, and Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey
Notable mentions (anything the write is amazing)
Guy Gavriel Kay
Patricia Briggs
Larry Correia
Kim Harrison
Lois McMaster Bujold (she deserves to be mentioned for fantasy as well).
Not a fan of Star Wars?
Those are fighting words 'round here.

Son, I think you're my huckleberry.
Is a huckleberry a good thing or a bad thing? Damn it, have I been misusing huckleberry?
Why am I suddenly reminded of Clerks II?

From the movie, it would be a nemesis I think? From they way we use it, it can go either way :P

I hear knuckles cracking... I'm so glad I'm home to read the epic wit fest!
Lol @ Dawn. Naw, you've been using it just fine. You're my huckleberry basically mean's "you're the one I'm looking for" or "you're my target" It works both as a threat or an endearment ;)
But Chris is my huckleberry... But that makes sense cause he can totally take me ;)lol. I'm on fire today.

Add in "throbbing member" and that pretty much explains Dawn

Holy shit. I was going through too quickly and missed the entire last page.I was being porned upon and was unaware. Dammit.
Oh, and it's summer where Kim is at, Ala....My "this" was re: Ms. Glau.
It's ok, Dance retells parts of Feast. Enough that you should be fine

Y'know, by not being douchey"
Just to briefly go back to this:
Kevin, the group I formed for a bunch of us who'd become friends was formed in August. I'm pretty sure I first encountered you shortly after joining Goodreads last January. If I had wanted to form an anti-Kevin group, I would have done so by February. At the latest.
What Denae said. We can't help it if we know how to make friends and like each other.... Maybe stop being such a troll and you could make some too!
That's just the Ala Sammiches group......

Can't have Ala without Star Wars I'm afraid.
That'd be like having Kool but no Ade. Ham but no Burger.
I'd have destroyed his legos death star while throwing up Rebellion gang signs and yelling out "REBELS 4 LYFE, BITCH"
It probably wouldn't be pretty.

Does it involve priapism or something?

I'm not talking about the group being an anti me group. The problem I have with it is that when does the group have to be a secret and private group? What so all could shut out all those from the outside? See that is what I don't like when people can't expand their horizon.
Oh wow, I feel like I'm home again.

Actually, looking back, you said "You have already in way, secertly, but you should just create one basiced on hating me." which means we did indeed misinterpret your sentence. In that case, let me say that I, for one, find you far too amusing to ever create a group solely in opposition to you. Also, don't hate you.
It's private because we're friends, and we want a place to hang out, just us. Friends. Share private things. Without strangers in there. Friendddds.

Its fine that Ala can have his Star Wars, but not me with Drizzt.
Dawn wrote: "It's private because we're friends, and we want a place to hang out, just us. Friends. Share private things. Without strangers in there. Friendddds."I find that very egocentric.
Haha, why would I dig it? I'm not seriously that big of a perv. I'm a good girl, I swear. Totally sweet and innocent :)
Egocentric to have friends that you want to hang out with? LOL. Fucking hell.
Kevin,In defense of Ala, he loves Star Wars on top of many other things. I think that you like George R. R. Martin, but you seem to dislike many other authors and titles. I'm not sure if I could name any of your other faves? I could list over a dozen for Ala. Granted, we're good friends, but I'm wondering,could this be part of the issue?
It's legocentric. We have lots of legos. :D

In response, I love the Ender's Quartet, along with Redwell, and J.D. Salinger, John Steinbeck as you can see from my favorite books, but none of you ever bring those books up often or at all.
Are you doing Decembeard now that Movember is over?
@ Kevin,I've enjoyed the Redwall graphic novel, as well as Salinger and Steinbeck. I've never tried the Ender books.
