    No, I've just been busy. Weird, I know, but occasionally it happens to me too.

    I'll be able to post by mid-week.


    (My writing time this past week was taken up with writing NPC profiles, and I didn't even get to finish all those. >_<)

    Ohhh no, trust me, no-one is as bad as I am at geography, really. ^^"

    Yeah, it's really calm and gentle so it's pretty awesome for a nice relaxing time and stuff. Oh noes, that's kinda lame...mind you, I'm not sure there are any places like that around here either, we've always borrowed the kayaks from someone in the family. Haha, that makes me feel a little better xP It's pretty damn clever though.

    That's a relief then, it could have been a lot worse. Haha, yeah, a few times. Some around the house, a few times while doing work. I've done a lot of labouring work for my family (plumbers and such) so working with electrical tools is always a hazard, haha xP Mostly my own fault though, really, you know.

    (Hahaha, he totally should, that was hilarious. Did you see the one when Kelso worked with the nurses and wore bright pink scrubs? That was hilarious )

    I'm not usually interested specifically in crime stories, but sometimes they just catch my attention. Another good read are the Jack Reacher novels, I forget the authors name. Those are quite exciting and interesting too. I've never read any Agatha Christie but my grandma watches the adapted shows all the time. ^^ Poirot always makes me laugh, haha. xP

    Really? That sucks, I'd have thought it would be out over there pretty quickly. Oh, I will, don't worry ^^ I won't spoil it for you but I'm sure it'll be awesome as usual. It's sad, though, because you can kinda tell he's getting sick from the dedication he made.

    This book is dedicated to Rob Wilkins, who typed most of it and had the good sense to laugh occasionally.
    I don't know, maybe I'm reading into that too much, but if he can't even type it himself... I hope I'm wrong though. Blah.

    I really didn't know. *facepalm* Geography is my mortal enemy. It really is. We've never gotten along. xP

    Damn. I don't know how you could do it then. Would you be able to rent a few kayaks from somewhere or something? =\ (Oh, and this right here is lake kayaking. Look how calm the water is. ^^) Whoa. That sounds...high tech, lol. I didn't know they had anything like that. Jeez I'm such a country boy. Yeah, skiing would just not be compatible for me. ^^" I know my limits, haha.

    Yikes! That's not clumsiness, that's dangerous. Are you ok? You're not hurt or anything? I've been electrocuted a few times and it really hurts. (I remember one time, my brother took a plug apart to put a new fuse in, and I stepped on it while it was on...my whole leg just felt like it was vibrating. It's such a weird feeling, isn't it? Not pleasant at all. Bleh.

    (Yeah! Gloria, that was her name. I Googled her, haha. YEAH eww, haha! Funny, but kinda gross. xP Lonnie was....amazing. His moustache was the epitome of cool, it really was. I love this scene. "Glorious moustache." )

    Well, don't go spending all your money! ^^ I really hope you like them though. They are pretty awesome. =D (Well, Alex Cross is this detective or FBI guy, I forget which. It's basically like a crime thriller, but they seem to be focussed on serial killers and the like, so they're really quite exciting and clever books.)

    I'm glad. ^^

    OH, and, just to make you feel slightly jealous (unless you already have it xP), take a look at what I picked up yesterday. ^^

    Wow. I...totally fail. Yeah. *self-facepalm* So, uh, I was totally under the impression that Greenwich was somewhere in one of the European countries? And that for some reason we just based the timezone on....yeah, I'm going to shut up now. ^^""""""""

    Lame! It's totally fun, you should definitely try and get someone to go with you. It really is a great experience. Would there be a center somewhere where you can go and try it? Like an outdoor/leisure center or something? They have machines...to make snow? :O Wow...I'd definitely like to give it a try sometime. I wouldn't want to try skiing as much, though. The possibility of...well, put it this way. My clumsiness, crummy balance, and having a leg on two seperate pieces of wood which have the sole purpose of sliding around? Yeah, I don't think that's a real great combination for me, personally. ^^""" (Well, I'd probably try it for the experience, but regret it later, heh.)

    Well, we all have our moments, heh. xP

    (Ha!! Snoop Dogg Intern is funny. And the Hook Security Guard (and his fling with the older intern!! xP)!! They all add up to make it hilarious. xD I wasn't always that fond of Keith, though. He was ok but sometimes though. ^^)

    It really is, it's very well put down. You do? That sounds pretty interesting. It reminds me of the Magicians of Caprona! ^^ Well there's no rush, they'll still be around. I wouldn't mind starting them again, actually. I've never read the entire series one after another, I usually read one of the trilogies, then start the next one a few months later, heh. ^^ Maybe I'll tackle the entire series one of these days, but first I have a bunch of James Patterson's staring at me. They're giving me this real accusing stare (if books could stare xD), just crying out to be read! ^^ (Have you ever read any of his books? The Alex Cross novels are good.)

    Well time doesn't mean anything! Some people write quick, some people can take their time. The Sistene Chapel wasn't made in a day. ^^

    Haha, well I guess that's ok then if you don't mind it! x3

    Well, I guess just GMT, since it's UK time. Like right now it's 11.55pm, and if East Coast is the closest one to us then yeah, there's 5 hours difference. ^^ It's 8 hours with the other coast. (I have friends in various states so I'm used to the time differences, heh. x3

    You don't have anyone you can go with? Friends, family, partner, your dog? Anyone? .___. River kayaking would be the most fun, I would think, but a lot of people get kayaking and canoeing mixed up, and associate rivers with canoeing instead. But on a lake it can be so easy and relaxed, it doesn't take anywhere near as much work because there's not usually a strong current. But you should definitely do it with someone who knows what to do and such, and never go anywhere without a lifejacket, but that ones pretty obvious. ^^ Well I would try snowboarding if I could, but we don't get any snow in my area these days. I live right on the coast, and apparantly the salt makes it pretty much impossible for any snow that does fall to stick. I think the last time it snowed properly was a good few years back now. But I'd love to give it a try. I'd probably be completely hopeless but it would still be a lot of fun. xD

    Ice cream!! Omnomnom!! Yeah, family is family and if you don't love them, who will? xP

    (Haha, Elliot definitely had some great moments, she could be so weird and funny. xD Ted, ha! I loved his band, he could be hilarious! It was sad the way Kelso treated him but it was so funny at the same time, especially when he used to compare Ted to his dog! xP)

    Well there are a quite a few different systems of magic, but one of them which is used quite a lot in some of the series is the Wishsong, which is where the user had the power to sing and use the magic through the singing. It was entirely unique to only some of the Ohmsfords, and they got the power after the very second book (The Elfstones of Shannara) because the character used them so much that the power got imprinted into his blood. (The Elfstones could only be used by someone with Elven blood/heritage, and even then not just any Elf could use them - but the character in the Elftstones book didn't have enough Elven blood in him so every time he used the Wishsong it affected him differently.) What's really great about it is the way each person's magic is individual and has different effects and uses and powers, and he describes them all really well. For instance, in the third book, the first to use the Wishsong, two of the main characters (brother and sister Ohmsfords) have it, and one can use it to make physical changes to the surroundings while the other can only create illusions, etc. I don't know, I really can't explain it all that great, but I'd definitely reccommend them. ^^

    Haha, well I could tell you again if you like. xP I'm only stating the obvious. ^^
