rambling.

I like playing with the layouts people make for the pretty graphics. However, I am usually much too lazy to customize them. Or even write anything in the little "About Me" sections in the code. Therefore, for quite a long while, my journal had a slightly bizarre aspect. I couldn't be arsed to get online to fix it, though

Good luck with all the studying! I am always very worried about my overseas high-school age flisties, because it seems they never stop studying. :/

King Arthur I liked because the men were pretty, although it took me a good five minutes afterwards to realize that in the sex scene they were actually, um, having sex. Also I have never seen the Willy Wonka movie, is it really that bad? Tragedy!

Has anyone read LM Montgomery's The Blue Castle?
I had no idea she'd written anything other than the Anne series, which I found really boring when I tried reading them -- and I ate up Little Women and the Laura Ingalls Wilder books and all of that, so. :x? Maybe I should try reading them again. I too change my mind about books on reread, especially when they're kids' books and then I read them years after. :x *a five-year-old at heart, clearly*

Exactly. The men were pretty. :D Galahad and Tristram and Lancelot particularly, although I am allergic to Keira Knightley and Clive Owen. It's odd: when PotC first came out, I was in Hawai'i, and promptly bought Elle magazine (which I don't read) just for the article on her.

I, too, found Anne rather boring (but adored Little Women and Laura Ingalls Wilder). I really identified I hate that word with Emily, though; if you read anything of LMM's you MUST read the Emily series, although I'm not sure it'll appeal to you at this age. I just finished The Blue Castle and remain unmoved. It was a pretty little story, I suppose, and I liked the beginning where Valancy stands up to her family, but as for the rest... eh.

oh, and the Willy Wonka movie isn't bad at all, really, just... different. hahaha.

She is pretty, I just don't care for her as an actress (strangely enough this goes for me and most young actresses; maybe the general preoccupation with their waistlines more than their acting on the part of the fashion magazines). I keep looking at her and going, "Keira Knightley!" instead of "[x character she's playing in the movie!]", which is a little distracting. Unrelatedly, I hated her character in the movie because she was the only clean person in the entirety of Britain, apparently. WTF.

I will go look for the Emily series the next time I go to the library. :D As for age appropriateness, well ... I only read The Haunting last year and instantly loved it, and on the back cover it says 'Ages 8 and up'. Hahaha. Obviously, there is something wrong with my brain.

Ah, that's true. It's probably why I don't like her. When she was in PotC the whole "Keira Knightley!" thing hadn't started yet.

Oh, and I read the one-line drabbles, and. The HP ones are BRILLIANT. No really. Even though I don't know what a pirate!ot3 is. IMHO, the Harry/Slughorn is the absolute best. *mad cackles* *button!hearts*

And... you did Nanowrimo once, right? I was looking through the old nano community. If you don't mind telling me, what was your story about?
