I know! I gave a friend of mine all the Sims 2 I had back in December because she has an old computer and won't be able to get Sims 3, and I thought it'd be out soon... Nope.

Thorn Queen by Rachel Mead needs to come out like right now. :bouncing in seat:

@leenie: So uhm Rachel Mead, she likes Chick-fil-a (is that how it's spelled?) and has the most amazing red hair ever. Just thought you should know.

I don't read manga (shun the unbeliever!) but if I read volumes of comics I put them on my list. If I read comics on my computer though I don't. So I read the entire Sandman and Lucifer series without making a note of it. XD

ljosberinn 05-07-2009 06:22 PM



Shuuuuuuuuuun! Shuuuuuuuuuun!

Mmm, I want to read Sandman again. I just can't remember which volumes I own, so I'm afraid of buying them and all the ones I do have are back home. Oh well, not long now till I'm home, I can read it then.

I'm going to a gay bar tonight! Wheeeee!

@yuri - mmm~ i wonder if there are signed books at the closest b&n to you.
usually, they have some from recent (or not-so-recent for authors who don't sell well) signed books just sitting on the shelves with a green SIGNED sticker in the top-right corner.
you... don't get first editions?
i guess since i get a lot of my books as soon as they come out, they're first editions, but most of the time it doesn't really matter to me.
a book is a book is a new world to open. p:

ehehe. it doesn't really matter. if we were to start at the same time, we'd probably finish separately.
i read kind of fast (not as fast as dream), but sporadically. i could get around to reading 100-200 pages in a few hours, but i won't read again for a few days. ._.;

@dream - are you on something?
richelle. i had to search by title.
but yay. chick-fil-a. and red hair.

@kat - shuuuuuun, shuuuuuuuuuuuun. >:3
omg. make a note. D:
sandman~
i still want the ultimate volumes. XD

@ljos - have fuuun~
i wanna go to a club, but the only one worth going to around here is a 21+ ;_;

Oh, and if you want some things cheep . . . go to Alibris.com They're good. ^-^

Yeah, I don't like spending all of my money, so I usually have at least $75 at any given time. And I had been saving for a wii, so I had quite a bit. I'm still going to get a wii, but my birthday is in July, so I'll just use the money for that. ^^

And thanks! I'll look there. :D

i miss my bowie poster. ;_;
actually, it's a labyrinth poster, but i haven't put it up on my new wall yet. :[

I am. xD I also have no real income, so I'm not very spendy. I like getting as much for as little cash as possible.

YOU HAVE A BOWIE POSTER AND IT IS NOT ON YOUR WALL? DDD: GO HANG IT RIGHT NOW. *supplies tape and tacks* HANG IT. HANG IT AND SHOW IT TO ME.

ljosberinn 05-08-2009 01:03 AM



Tireth, aww, that sucks. Dancing was fun! Except my shoes were uncomfortable, but I just took them off. There was a drag queen there that looked really fabulous, but her dress had holes in really weird places. Like in the back, except it was so low you could almost see a butt crack. Which isn't really very flattering.


Also, I second Cherry. Go hang Bowie up NOW. I should take my jackets down from the hook on the door, they're covering his pretty face.



Dream_and_Die 05-08-2009 01:52 AM

@leenie: Whoa, my bad I so know her name... I just can't type it right. XD Kind of how I called Sara, Sarah just because I'm more used to typing it.

I had a thunderstorm day so I kept my computer off. I finished New Moon in between cleaning the house and going to a job fair.

Iltu 05-08-2009 02:18 AM

Yuri- OH MY GOSH I KNOW. ;_; I didn't cry, but I was near tears and so mad.

SPOILERX

Like, I know this sounds dumb, but I could feel my heart breaking for Rose! I did NOT know how to handle that! I mean, I'd been rooting for the the whole time, and then, MY FAVORITE CHARACTER turns Strigoi! And Rose and Lissa's relationship suffering like that hurt me as well, they were so close! I hope Lissa goes after Rose, and also that Rose is able to go back to the academy and become Lissa's guardian! But most of all I hope that there is a way to save Dimitri. it seems so cruel that they were finally together, and then this. ;___;


Cherry- I hope you find one soon as well!

Cricket- Bless my soul and call me Jerry Lou! How nice to see you here! :D *excited*

tirethminet 05-08-2009 03:07 AM

@cherry - yeeeaaah, i should probably try spending less as well. it's just. i'm impatient. :<
nononono. i still have wall-hanging shelves i need to put up and then i need to find space for the poster. since it's FRAMED.

@ljos - yaaaay, dancing shoeless! :3
but ugggh, butt crack. xp
true drag queens should know what dresses will be flattering. D:

@dani - smooth. XD

Dream_and_Die 05-08-2009 03:11 AM

@leenie: You know me, smooth like a two ton boulder.

Okay. I am about 60 pages into Eclipse. I really want to punch Edward in the face... and I want it to hurt him... a lot.
Really... Really.... He's being a controlling jerk and I want to hit him with an SUV.
Also Jason, needs a slap to his whiny face.

I couldn't agree more! I think Edward is insanely controlling, jealous, and a bit scary/stalkerish (ducks in case someone is about to throw a book at me for defaming the sacred Twilight books). Personally, I like Jacob better...I know, ohh the blaspheme.

Honestly... I'd definitly take Carlisle and probably Jasper as well.
I have wanted nothing more then to physically harm Edward since halfway through Twilight... and Jacob is whiny and not the brightest. So I tend to want to hit him as well.
I probably going to get hit more then you because I dislike all the available male leads.
Really, I'd be like: "These are my choices? See ya!"

DariaMorgendorfer 05-08-2009 03:38 AM

Hehe, ya know, I was thinking...If I had to chose between an ice cube and a furnace, I'd go find myself a nice beach. Honestly, the one I wanted to abuse the most in that book was Bella! Talk about whiny! All she is good for is worrying...I'd say more, but I don't want to spoil the last book for ya there. I read the series through twice, trying to figure out what all the "hub bub" was about...and frankly I don't get it...I have a coworker, she's about 40ish...She has read the books through something like 15 times, has the two Cds, the deluxe edition of the movie, the bracelet....Um, the books are meant for teens...That's kinda...Creepy!

shadowfoot 05-08-2009 03:51 AM

Alice is the best character in the series in my opinion...otherwise, eh. It's okay.

Dream_and_Die 05-08-2009 04:00 AM

Alice, I will kidnap. Bringing Jasper along of course. xD

@Daria: Don't mention Bella... I'd have a hit out on her if she were real. Honestly I was yelling at the book. I just want to jump into the book, slap her, and tell her to grow a pair and tell Edward to back the efff off.
Soul-mate shmoul-mate, you don't let yourself be bossed around like that.

DariaMorgendorfer 05-08-2009 04:10 AM

I'll give ya that, I liked Alice...Meh on the rest...Although your right Carlisle was an interesting character too. Let me know when ya finish the book...I'll be curious to hear your take on the end character.

tirethminet 05-08-2009 04:37 AM

@dream - but you're not two tons. or greyish colours. :[

ahahaha. i just imagined you swinging an suv like the hulk. XD
jason who? you mean. JACOB?

i totally prefer jacob, but only because he's a werewolf.
if we actually knew more about the other werewolves, i might like one of them better.

Dream_and_Die 05-08-2009 04:38 AM

Yeah I let everyone know. I'm about 200 pages in now. 206 to be exact. Mystery person has arrived and Jacob, he's officially on my 'want to kill' list.

Uh bit of a spoilerX

Really?!? You do not go on and on and on about imprinting and in the same breath condemn your best friend - and someone you say you love - for the very same thing. REALLY!?! Selfish little........ UGH.


@leenie: yeah I realized after Daria quoted me that I typed without looking. xD
No. NO JACOB! NEVER. Selfish whiny little pup.

tirethminet 05-08-2009 05:50 AM

waitwhatwhen mystery person?
you see how much of an impression these books left on me. XDDDD

I SAID ONLY BECAUSE HE'S A WEREWOLF.
seriously.
if i could...
remember the other werewolves' names, and been introduced to their personalities, i probably would have picked one of them.
(again, very deep impression there)

Dream_and_Die 05-08-2009 05:53 AM

.... leenie... have you read eclipse yet?

causeX

If so go to the bottom of page 330. You won't like Jacob much any more. Officially I would have murdered him, right there. Not even kidding I would have bought some silver bullets and knocked on his front door. NOT GET BACK IN A CAR WITH HIM.

EDIT: Ohhhh I would SO be pressing charges... NO DAD WOULD REACT LIKE THAT!! AUGH GET THAT SLEAZEBALL IN JAIL RIGHT NOW!



tirethminet 05-08-2009 07:07 AM

i... don't have the book.
::points at book post::
i had the audiobook.
and
NOT A BIG IMPRESSION.
memory, goodbye~~~

and again.
i am saying.
ONLY BECAUSE HE'S A WEREWOLF.
warm + puppy = happy leenie.
if his personality were included in the picture, i would punch him in the face.

ps.
shadow.
my computer ate what i had originally intended for my post where i was laughing about dani calling jacob jason.
"alice is the best! of the characters we actually get to know."

Dream_and_Die 05-08-2009 08:56 AM

Okay. Finished Eclipse. I still dislike Jacob and I really want to kidnap Alice and Jasper now! xD
I'm going to bed I have to be up in three hours... ^_^;;

tirethminet 05-08-2009 09:18 AM

... damn, woman.
and i did just say that aloud.

ljosberinn 05-08-2009 01:20 PM



Ohhh did I miss Twilight bashing? The movie was the funniest thing ever, I really want to read the books now, just for laughs. And to be able to bash them properly. I fear for my sanity though.

I really liked it! It's such an awesome book ^^ It would be pretty great, if there'd be something like that (that kind of heaven, I mean).
