Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Awesome, thanks girls :D

I've decided I say "Guys" too much, especially since most people on here are girls, so I am going to try and stop. No offence to Thomas or the other guys/men on here who I am about ninty percent sure actaully are guys.


message 260: by Tessa (new)

Tessa  (panicrocks95) I refer to everyone as dude, maan, and I always use the word guys. People who don't like it are just not comfortable in there femininity/masculinity XD


message 261: by Christa VG (last edited Jul 27, 2012 03:09PM) (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Ahhh, I mostly agree. I just think the word "Guys" is over used sort of like "Like".


message 262: by Tessa (new)

Tessa  (panicrocks95) I have to agree with you there haha

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I know I am like the only one who still posts in here so sometimes it looks like I am talking to myself, but it is where I put everything I cannot justify putting a topic up for. I do English country Dancing with my brothers and we go to theses balls. This is one of the ones I was at and am actually in the vidoes in several places, ten points if you can spot me. I am wearing a green dress.

Carol (goodreadscomcarolann) Did you hear that Leonardo DiCaprio will star in Baz Luhrmann's 3-D version of "The Great Gatsby" in the new year?"

message 265: by Lora (new)

Lora (lorabanora) Oh, I think I will chat a bit here. I've been trying to watch my language as well- one day I was discussing slang with a friend and we got to comparing the sources for much of it- most were different criminal kinds of activity. We decided we'd try to speak more clearly.
There's a 3-d version coming out? Is 3-D here to stay this time, do you think, or is it just a new spin on an old gimmick and it's just fun while it lasts?


message 266: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) It seems that most movies now a days always come out in 3D lol ;p

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I haven't ever read the "Great Gatsby" or seen any of the movies, but the casting looks great I want to see it now.

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Hey everyone, got a virus on my computer and have to restart everything, hopefully I will be back tomorrow but no promises. Play nice while I am gone :D


message 270: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Ok XD Will do chief! ;)


message 271: by Carol (new)

Carol (goodreadscomcarolann) I will probably not be online due to power outages that are predicted (hurricane Sandy) its hitting the east coast (NJ, NYC Battery Park evacuated, CT). Last year hurricane Irene was pretty bad, no power or water for 7 days. They say that this one will be as bad as one 70 years ago, major flooding.


message 272: by Lora (new)

Lora (lorabanora) Hope to hear you are well asap, but take care of yourself first.
Same for everyone.


message 273: by Nissa Tanura (new)

Nissa Tanura (nissatanura) | 191 comments Yes, hope you're all in good condition. Take care.


message 274: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I hope you are alright Carol and anyone else out there.

My computer is still down so I've just poped on to do a few moderator things, eventually I'll be back.


message 275: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Hey Tabi and Tessa, thought I would let you know I just saw the Avengers for the first time yesterday. It was incredible and I now understand everything you have been talking about. I envy you for getting to see it in theaters.


message 276: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) XD isn't it amazing???? XD


message 277: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments It is! I am have to say very well made and with only a little cheesy-ness, but it was cheesy in a good way, loved it. My favorite charter was Hawk-eye, I hope they make a movie just about him, I had never heard of him before, was he in some other movie that I missed?


message 278: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) No....but he's my favorite character as well!!!!! XD Jeremy Renner (the actor that played him) is one of my favorite actors as well XD
My other favorite is Blackwidow XD


message 279: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Haha, I can tell.

I have only just discovered Jeremy Renner, I saw him in MI 4, and I know he plays the new Bourne, Aaron Cross or something like that, but I have yet to see him in it or anything else. But I will admit I have a crush on him at the moment. He is so hot.


message 280: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Ditto! He is!!!! XD lol yeah I have yet to see those movies lol and apparently he is in Hansel and Gretel: Witchunters as Hansel XD fantasy and Jeremy Renner...I think I'm going to die XD


message 281: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Hahaha. Just got a movie the yesterday that I know absolutely nothing about solely because he was the main charter. It's called "The Hurt Locker" and I am going to watch it tonight or tomorrow, not sure which because I also got "Sherlock Holmes 2" and am also super excited about that.

Jeremy Renner is also in "The Town" some kind of heist movie that looks good.


message 282: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Oh that Sherlock Holmes one is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! XD

I've heard of that one, lol tell me how it is ;) and yeah, I want to see all his movies lol he's a good actor :)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Hello everyone, hope you all had a happy Christmas and are looking forward to the new year. What was the best gift you got and the best one you gave?

The best gift I gave would have to be a civil war chess set to my younger brother. We played a good game right away and the south won, as they should have.

The best gift I got.....it is so hard to decided. Probably an amazing set of socks from my aunt or rifle mags from my dad.

apu (apurwa) | 1 comments Wish you all a very mery christmas...Happy new year too by the way... Love festivites...any and every one of them... hope you all do too


message 285: by Lora (new)

Lora (lorabanora) Our material Christmas was thinner this year- some books and movies. But we stepped beyond our own comfort and actually reached out to others, and have been doing some kind act or other every week to make an active contribution to the good in the world. Having said that, I was really happy to get a couple seasons of Stargate SG-1. I'm seeing some episodes I've never seen before.
As for the new year, gosh, it's fraught with anxiety already! But this passing year has been some improvement over the year before that, so I am just pressing forward and trying to be active and not passive, hopeful and not despairing. Last summer we started a side garden for flowers and herbs, so I am anxiously organizing my seeds I have so far and perusing the garden catalogs (God bless the garden catalog in winter!) with a fresh hope for spring blooms.


message 286: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments An herb garden? Oh I love those. I have a small one myself with basil, Rosemary, comfrey and oregano growing in it, but mostly it has been run over by strawberry plants. I love getting the fresh herb to cook with.

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments Hi everyone,

Sorry about my absence the last week. I took a vacation with my family to Las Vegas and we had a great time. Something really huge happened to me while I was there, I went on my first roller-coaster! I was so excited and very proud of myself I decided to write it up in story form. I'd love for you to read it and let me know what you think about roller-coasters, my story and if I was too redundant.

Here is a link- http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3...


message 288: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) I LOVE roller-coasters!!!!! XD


message 289: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I don't understand you or anyone else who actually enjoys roller-coasters. I think they were designed by the demented.


message 290: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Haha! :)


message 291: by Haley (new)

Haley Hey everyone! I know I have been super MIA for a long time, so sorry about that! I got caught up in a couple other groups, then the holidays came and school and work and babysitting AND I've been trying to write more because I have a sequel I need to get finished. But I'm going to try and do better and check in more - not that it looks like anything has suffered without me :D I'm working on catching up, now! Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and that I didn't miss too many important things!


message 292: by Christa VG (new)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I missed you Haley! I was actually just about to message you this morning, but work snuck up on me and I didn't have the time. How did the editing go with your book?


message 293: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Awesome Haley!!!!! When you're done with your novel, you know you are going to have a few friend lined up to read it ^^ Count me as one of those!!! :)

Christa VG (christa-ronpaul2012) | 3184 comments I just finished washing the car from a cross country trip, talk about a work out! How bout you? Anything ,or I should say "What", interesting thing happened to you today?


message 298: by Haley (new)

Haley I missed you guys, too! I actually expected to be un-mod-ed or something because I haven't checked in for so long. Glad to see that wasn't the case :)

The editing went really well, actually; they didn't change much at all, which was awesome for me because it meant I probably did something right, haha! But I'm glad you guys want to read it; I'm going to need some reviews. There's finally a release date, too: Feb 14th!!! It's SO close, it's crazy.

Hi Holly :)


message 299: by ♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (new)

♠ TABI⁷ ♠ (tabi_card) Sweeeeeettt!!!! XD And no, we wouldn't un-mod you lol....Xp


message 300: by Holly (new)

Holly | 46 comments Hi Haley!!!!

Nothing interesting, really. I did get some studying done though, so I'm happy about that. Hope to get some more done tonight. :-)
