Recs and Things.
I bought The Nephew some Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books for his birthday - (my brothers and I used to be so into those as kids) - and I just read through one to see if it was any good. I went on three different adventures in the same book and got three different endings; the embassy sent me back to the United States and I had to give up my quest

The Nephew had no idea what they were when he opened them, but I am quite sure once he realizes what a 'choose-your-own-adventure' book is, that he'll be hooked!
i think mills went to him so dawson wouldn't, you could tell she wanted to, and he had this crushed look on his face watching her i was like WTF when they killed her thou it was sad
I still can't believe they brought Hallie back just to kill her off. It came out of nowhere! Your take on the Mills-Casey situation actually makes a ton of sense. I initially thought it was because Mills knows what it is like to lose someone you love so dearly to fire (ie. his dad) but reading your thoughts, I think you are right, that's why Mills went to him, so Dawson wouldn't. I still don't know why Boden didn't step up immediately, because Severide/Casey Feels aside, it probably should have been Boden, but yeah, it's def leading to more issues with the whole love triangle with Dawson thing ( ... )

Oh yeah, I remember that now. Ugh, I just feel like...Mills is very sweet and I think Dawson does really care about him and maybe even love him, but I don't feel like she is in love with him, certainly not the way he feels about her. So even though I really liked them together at first, I kind of wish she would just end before Mills gets too hurt.
i think she'll go more towards casey next season.
I hope they don't hook them up too fast. It won't be realistic if Casey doesn't grieve first.
their making a spin off alread chicago pd, we'll see how that goes.
I hadn't heard that! Hmmm, I'll have to think about whether or not to watch it. I already watch Southland and you can't get much better as far as cop shows go. I think what had me so interested in Chicago Fire at first was that I've never watched a firefighter show before.
i need to get a severide icon or someone lol. where did you find yours is there a comm around. i really like ( ... )

Vikings Vikings Vikings! Athelstan and his Vikingization is the best. The little beads on his beard! We have to wait too long for the next season. Damn Ragnar and cheating on his wife! I love how Bjorn called him out on it. But now there's going to be a Ragnar Jr. I'm sure Althelstan will be nursemaid the way he was to the other kids, LOL.

Right?! Did you have the one with the purple space monster - (I can't for the life of me remember the name of it but I can see that giant purple flying creature on the cover of the book so clearly in my head).
Your trip down memory lane made me go visit Amazon. Good to see you can still buy them.
The ones on Amazon are the ones I got The Nephew - the first set of four that came in a pack, with the Abominable Snowman, etc. The writing style is not as good as I remember the ones being when we were kids, but maybe I'm just romanticizing. I am sure the writing gets better as you go up reading levels. I know some of the best ones were the ones I was reading at like age 12, high end knights and fantasy stuff. (the something Wolf series?)

YES! I love watching him slowly mesh his way into their customs and lifestyles.

Oh and I have a job interview tomorrow, its during work but I'll sneak into my back room and do it. No one will find me in there. The school is in NH and seems to have the true progressive stuff figured out that Roeper just talks about.

The writing style was not the best on the ones I got - kind of choppy - and I can't tell if that is just how C-Y-O-A always are (hard to remember after all these years) or if these were just not written all that well. But I still had fun reading through and finding out what my ending would be, so I know The Nephew will too. Also importantly, since he reads through like two chapter books a week, these will last him awhile, since he can keep rereading them and having different adventures.
Vikings is so good, I want to go back and rewatch the entire season.Right? Who would have thought The History Channel had it in them? I have all the episodes still in the recycle bin on the Tivo and I am hoping that once Arrow is off for the season (the show M and I watch together on Friday afternoons) that I can convince M to give it a try. Bonus is I'll get to rewatch it myself ( ... )

I will happily watch them with you as I don't enjoy watching stuff on my laptop if a tv is available.
The interview felt like it went well, it was on Skype so weird as she kept being in shadow. It felt positive other than some bumps of how do I talk about where I am now. I really should do more job stuff today but I'm just exhausted.
I think instead I'll have fun making the fic better, I'm glad to know you liked it and will send you another draft soon.

I'm totally putting that Danny/Stiles fic on my To Read list, it looks awesome.

You're very welcome. I seriously have this perfect painting in my head after reading your poem and it will never come out right on paper, but I figured the least I could do is point other people in the direction of your poem so they could get their own paintings stuck in their heads too. ;)

It is very awesome! Not only because of the Danny/Stiles but also with the whole Danny & Jackson friendship aspect that I adore on the show. You do have to wonder sometimes, 'why is such a nice guy like Danny friends with a dude like Jackson?' and this fic answers it perfectly.

LOL It did kind of seem random, but I'm guessing you clicked the Teen Wolf tag? I think that's probably how you ended up here. 8)
