I should have known better than to divulse in the library. I did it anyway and then slipped away, ashamed and smelling faintly of garlic.

Happy birthday Graham. For the third time

I agree with this review. The main players were indeed on their A-game in this one. I was particularly impressed with Noomi Rapace. I mean, how the hell would you go about acting that scene where [REDACTED]? Good stuff. I would add that the story is a little muddled. There are a few threads in there...

Happy birthday! Random factoid #1: we will be the same age for exactly 6 days starting now. Random factoid #2: You share your birthday with Marky Mark. Well done. Random factoid #3: This is the feast day of Saint Boniface who, apart from having an awesome name, is patron saint of brewers. And German...

...so halfway through day two, I suddenly realised I wanted to write a completely different novel. Yay? Still doing NaNoWriMo, though, 'cos I said I would dammit :) Just gonna hafta change my novel details. I have some serious catching up to do now, too. The new idea is basically a straight-up spy n...

None taken. Not sure how this all works yet, and I may be talking out of my proverbial, but they seem to be doing cycles of assignations. Perhaps we get cycled through several cabins until the event? Although we are VERY close to the start, so that might not be the case. Gah. Perhaps some kind of al...

In my preferences I put in someone I knew from regular-NaNo and you in the Requests bit. 1 out of 2 ain't bad, but still. Now I'm worried I may have swung it or something. This semi-random assigning thing is strange.

Went to the "My Cabin > Message Board" bit on Camp NaNoWriMo. Saw Fayili, thought "okay, cool," then saw two... others. Not sure how I feel about this. It's summer camp all over again, dammit!* * Not that I ever went to a real summer camp, of course. I can only infer the skin-cra...

I second this. Our lives are too fleeting to spend them wallowing in self-pity and inconsolability. Take a look around at this strange, mad world of ours. Get yourself centered, for want of a better phrase. Also, metcarfre, just so you know, I am saving this advice to a text file. I feel it may come...

Having one other person in my cabin that I even vaguely know the identity of outside NaNo should help with the literary encouragement*

*read: peer pressure

Yeah, sure. For the request bit, just put in Thysane. 'tis my username there as well

EDIT: And yes! I second the supporting of NaNoWriMo. It's a good cause.

EDIT NUMERO DOS: not sure if I have to request you in my cabin preferences too. If so, username?

I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo. I was also badgered into it

(It didn't take much badgering)

These turned out way better than I expected them to. I put way too much work into them :D The following come complete with vaguely pretentious write-ups, as is only fitting. http://i50.tinypic.com/23i8mir.jpg Xinmin is a Berlin-based synthesizer electroclash band, formed in 2002 by front-woman Cora ...

So here's something I never knew about myself before three days ago: when I'm caught in the middle of a stressful situation, I scramble to avoid it by obsessively cleaning and clearing up any and every piece of detritus I can find. I also "hide" from the situation behind walls and in door ...

So. This teaches me not to take such long absences from the forums. Again. Everyone in this thread is talented as hell. Seriously. This is all excellent stuff, guys. Especially enjoying Jester's daily pictures. Damn good. Here's one of my own recent pics. Just a lil' character art for a D&D char...

Took part in NaNoWriMo last November, wherein I got about 43,346 words into an Arabian Nights-themed fantasy novel, with an alternating third-person viewpoint that swung wildly between the noir-style investigations of an aged priest and the Conan-style shenanigans of two lone soldiers wandering in t...

I both am not having, and have not had sex. Blah. If we're not careful, this thread may become as long as the "Actually Having Sex" thread. Or maybe, just maybe, this is what we should strive for...

Unt I am placed! Just went with the capital of the county, for generic-ness

Whenever me and my brother are in the same house, we tend to get drinking and try cooking Qabili Palau, a rather tasty Afghan dish that uses lamb, rice, raisins, carrots, onions and a whole host of spices including coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, cumin and cloves. The way we do it, the rice (mixe...

Congratumalations, Tim and Larissa! Life. 'tis a strange ol' thing.

This advice isn't all that weighted, but it is (relatively) urgent. Does anyone have any suggestions for good, simple, secure and most of all free private forum hosting? Me and some friends are looking to start doing play-by-post roleplaying games, since we can't all get around a table for one reaso...

A new art thread? Don't mind if I do... Here are my two latest pieces. And by two latest, I mean several months old at this point. Yay for creativity. http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2011/135/e/9/sahar__the_red_flower_by_thysane-d3gdycf.jpg Sahar, the Red Flower http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70...

So here's the deal. I haven't done anything beyond walking that could really be classed as exercise in the last few years, and I currently feel quite ineffectual. So I joined this thing, in the hopes that it will encourage (read: pressure) me to push onwards and become a little better at taking care...

I am so silly
I missed out on Allentines
Forgive me, please, sir!
