Ive never had all things. Are they anything like Allsorts?

I want a theramin

Gosh, its quiet.

Well I'm here.

And for once, having just about finished whatever it was I was supposed to be writing, (and it's not awful ... it's not too awful, anyway) I am now chilling in my crib

Ok, that seems too boring.

The other thing I did today was that I hired a goat from the appropriate agency, and failed to make a mask of the beasts skin. I did not, suitably covered in gore, go to a shopping centre and start blasting. Instead, me and the goat (the goat existing perhaps only in a notional sense) drank gin and played GTA. SA. Word.

For shizzle.

It may not be late but I am shifting. Anyone about?

Hey there. I'm playing Final Fantasy VII. It's so eleven years ago I'm gonna die.

Essential Dazzler

14:38 / 13.01.08

I'm so not writing my Screenplay that I'm going to die!

Triplets

14:43 / 13.01.08

We're all going to die, but not all of us may die doing a wheelie.

FF7 is the business but, yes, just a little dated. To think I was only 12 when I first stepped foot in Midgar.

What's your screenplay about?

I'm currently pissing about online (watching episodes of QI mainly) and trying not to think about drinks later with someone I quite like.

Essential Dazzler

14:56 / 13.01.08

Currently? Not a shitting clue, to be honest Trips. I've been trying to salvage a stinker of a plot for about a month now, and the deadline is approaching (Noon Tuesday) and I haven't written a word of the actual script. I'm wracking my brains trying to come up with another story to force the characters into.

I can't scrap everything, because we've been building up a portfolio for the course, and some continuity is required through the development stuff.

Hello there.

Will someone please force me to do my laundry?

jentacular dreams

21:52 / 13.01.08

Evening kids!

Liger Null, do your laundry. No-one likes a stinky ficsuit.

Benny the Ball

23:20 / 13.01.08

What does QI actually stand for (from the show (hello, by the way))

Liger Null

23:56 / 13.01.08

Thanks Ubermouse.

Just put my clothes in the dryer.

Hey Benny!

jentacular dreams

00:35 / 14.01.08

Quite Interesting, I believe.

This hot fuzz film, it's quite entertaining ain' it...

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

01:50 / 14.01.08

So there's this THANG:

Apparently, I'm an 'innovative young' writer; I 'say things most Southern refuse to'. But again, I get the rejection letters. So...hell.....

I won't give up. I won't give in.

I'll just light the cigarette I don't believe in.

Yes.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

02:04 / 14.01.08

Heartburn is bad.

Ice cream is good.

Rejection letters are character-building, Kali-cakes. I've got a few.

And I've got a story I need to rework from the first scene onward. Which shouldn't be so bad.

Liger Null

02:32 / 14.01.08

I've got an idea, Kali, you should start a rejection letter collection. Get yourself a file folder and set a goal for yourself, such as: I'll get seven rejection letters in seven weeks. In other words, make the rejection letter a happy thing to look forward to. As I understand it, the key is to keep writing and getting stuff out there.

Of course this is coming from somebody who never got a rejection letter in my life. But that's just because I've never submitted anything.

Those comments sound promising, by the way.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

02:35 / 14.01.08

So I wrote this whole bit--and I'll admit I felt a little Neil, though he's hated--and the computer ate it.

It was good, though.

There were funny bits....because I laffed.

Liger Null

02:37 / 14.01.08

I don't hate Neil. And I don't understand why everybody else does.

Liger Null

02:39 / 14.01.08

So I wrote this whole bit--and I'll admit I felt a little Neil, though he's hated--and the computer ate it.

Can you get the computer to cough it back up?

Or will you have to follow it around for a couple of days?

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

02:41 / 14.01.08

Liger, can I send you my last semi-"failed" story? Let me know what you think, please?

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

02:42 / 14.01.08

I like Neil in small doses. I actually really enjoyed that "Midnight Days" collection of old Swamp Thing stories he did. "Smoke & Mirrors" was a good story collection as well. But I can only read so much before it gets a bit repetitive. But you can say that about any writer, really.

Liger Null

02:43 / 14.01.08

Liger, can I send you my last semi-"failed" story? Let me know what you think, please?

Sure.

Everybody keeps sending me stories. It's like Christmas all over again.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

02:47 / 14.01.08

Well, it'll take me moments.

Liger Null

02:48 / 14.01.08

I really liked Anansi Boys, even more so than American Gods which seemed kind of slow and convoluted to me. I also really love the Children's books he did with Dave McKean.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

02:50 / 14.01.08

Remail me your personal email here and I will figure out how to send it to you. I just need to know if you (and well, most of 'Lith) if it's awright.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

02:53 / 14.01.08

Graveyard Book is pretty ace. Did anyone hear the shortshort scary bit back in October for NBR? Chills. I don't care what YOU say. Thats some sweet unnerving shite.

Look at your dog the same way again.

Liger Null

02:58 / 14.01.08

Graveyard Book sounds like something I'll definitely have to check out.

Did you get my PM? I was having technical difficulties.

Which is usually a sign of tiredness.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

03:39 / 14.01.08

Laptop before sleep. Neil has me on this. Hate as we do but he and Lorraine small things and I agree. I said the correct thing. Geaux yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

04:52 / 15.01.08

I gotta stop doing this. This last-minute creating of important documents before the deadliest of deadlines is seriously unhealthy.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

05:23 / 15.01.08

It was a productive evening in the sense that I wrote 1500 words, but I'm not sure I like them and I feel like the story keeps dead-ending on me. How is the rest of the Lith? I've retreated into sci-fi gladiator comics to sooth my brain.

Saint Keggers

02:23 / 16.01.08

Hello all.
Its 11:22, Im watching Barbarella

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

02:29 / 16.01.08

Heroes Season 2! Finally finished downloading. How's tricks, Mister V.

Saint Keggers

02:31 / 16.01.08

Things are good. I've spent the last two days doing nothing but art and drinking... (ok, in truth the drinking portion has been going on for more than 2 days) but its been very nice to get back to my art.

And you
