haha at least you're reading it
comment it, i dare you :P

Thanks! I'll try to fix it so it makes sense better haha

*cough* I'm not even going to look see how long it's taken me to reply. Usually I am very prompt, but seeing as I haven't written anything for ages I haven't had anything to put up and I've had lots of other things to do so....yeah no reply to post for long time, bad me.

You have all waited so patiently! I am surprised I haven't lost any subscribers, I still have to write the next chapter though *sigh*

I get paranoid that people can read my mind when it takes a dirty turn, I don't want it to but they just pop in there then it's hard to change track!

I was listening to radio one and apparently facebook was the most popular answer to "What could you not live without."
I'm still managing to keep off it mainly, I have a toe hold on Facebook and that's what I'm hoping to keep it at for as long as possible.....let's just see how I hold out at uni.

The hot guy? what hot guy? it's been so long I'm lost! James can be your hot guy, no one's claimed him yet that I know of. I claim Kakashi and L though.

Wow, those are some complicated number combinations!

6 girls pregnant from one class?!?! Woah. We had one girl pregnant in our whole year, in the whole school for the past five years... holy molie. Aw, stupid administration people. Mmm, I've given up complaining. So I got myself elected president of our 6th form and I'm actually doing something instead.

Oh dear, please don't murder your entire family. I'll be the sole witness to the fact that it was premeditated.

Man, it really ruins all the pretty natural wonders. Niagara would be so much more beautiful if there were no buildings around it... Does the Grand Canyon have stuff built next to it as well? I really want to go see that some time...

Mmm, I guess that can be annoying. My parents tend to go off on second and third honeymoons to places I'd really like to visit and then don't take us!! They went to Crete again last year. I think I'd really love to go to India. India and Venice... Italy really.

I like the Tudors. They're pretty cool. Certainly the most interesting of all our royal families. I've only been to London once, and that was for a medical examination, so I couldn't comment on what the Tower of London is like. But the crown jewels are supposedly very pretty. I've seen the Scottish Crown Jewels, and they're gorgeous. I could have stared at them for hours, but you could only look at them by standing on a conveyer belt which moved you out of the room within seconds, so I only got a brief glimpse.

You sound like me! Except I wear converses instead of trainers. I'd probably have to bring a book with me, to avoid dying of boredom. Mmm, I like the food at events like that. If there's garlic bread, I go completely crazy.

Ah, the spade. We were at the beach and digging a hole. Stupidly, I gave the three-year-old the metal gardening spade, and myself the toy plastic one...

AS levels are exams yup. A levels get you into University, but you have to do the AS levels first, which are what the uni's look at when considering you. They then make you a conditional offer based on what they want you to get at A level. So you might get BBB at AS, and a university will offer you a place given that you get ABB at A level.

Mmm, I have another lesson today at 4 and I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. They make me nervous.

Yeah, I should probably delete some of them. I've just never gotten round to it...!

I like my name. It took me a while to think it up, but now it's my username for everything. Photobucket, cbox, email etc. I never got the attraction of having numbers in your name though. Is that just so that you can call yourself geek without having someone else's username?

No choir? That's a bummer. My school has 1500 people in it roughly. But it has a sixth form added on to it, so that's five year groups. Although that's still 300 people to a year group. Soooo just a little bit bigger than yours. But we have no funding whatsoever because we get good grades, so the government seems to think that we don't need any improvements. Despite the fact that the ceiling is falling down in places...

Oo, sounds interesting. I've never been to a family reunion. The only time I see everyone at once is at weddings, and we haven't had one of those for a while now.

Not fair, I wanna go to the Bahamas and Universal Studios and the Mississippi!... I went to Canada last year and that was about the best holiday I've ever been on. We got to see Niagara Falls! It was gorgeous. But I didn't realise that there was this huge touristy town next to it. I thought it was in the middle of nowhere.

Recently has been a little odd. I was hit in the face with a spade wielded by a three year old. I got my AS level results back and I have 4 A's, which is waaaay better than I was predicted, so boo shucks to you teachers! And I've been having driving lessons!! Scary but fun. I have three more booked for next week. That's about it. ^_^

Aw, poor dearie. I feel for your copying nightmares. :(

Of course I remember you! I may be a little hazy in the department of what we were talking about, but I recognise your blue eye with the heart in it. Never forget a face. Well, in this case an avatar...

I think we may have been talking something Englishy. But that is a dry, old topic. Hmmm... the remainder of your reply does not make much sense. Although I do vaguely remember us talking about a strict homework-giving teacher... RE is Religious Education. You guys might call it something different. It follows the same line as Philosophy but looks mainly at questions of god etc.

Shall we have a new line of conversation? How has yourself been over the past month or so?

hahaha exactly!

ahhh, man hahaha
here's to shorties :]
may we grow many, many inches more!

phew, so glad that sent, cause I forgot to copy.

It's fine, I'm trying to cut down on my mibba use, just coming on to update and replying to any messages then, it's not working so well, I spend far too much time on here. I try and do something else like write but then find I need the internet for research so, that's no good.
Oh I quite often have to refer back, cause I have crummy memory so, it's all fine.

Oh I didn't know many either, that's where the thesaurus comes in handy, you will know others but just not realise, like clone, counterfeit, forge, imprint, mirror, model, reflect etc.

Good, or else I will come back to haunt you.

Oh it is gooooood, well worth reading.

Yay, apparently I made someone cry at one point, I can't remember what it was about the story that did it though.

I'm not really subscribed to anyone so I don't have that problem, but I'm still having a hart time keeping of mibba! Not good. No, authors would lose so much money if the books were on the internet, I guess these ones are because the author is dead, and who ever owns the rights now must make a mint anyway.

It needs to be done in a safe, secluded room where you can blush as much as you want and no one will start questioning you. It is like porn on paper, it's just embarrassing to know someone knows you've read it.

Oh it is sooooo much better, I watched when I was quite young and at the time I didn't understand half of it, but I've watched it so many times now, I love it, Mr Bingly is just so nice, and Collin Firth plays Mr Darcy so well, and I like the Elisabeth better on the old one, and Mr Collins! You just wan't to squirm at some of the things he says. And the scene on the landing with him and Lydia is brilliant. Watch it watch it watch it!

I'm not going anywhere near twitter, I'm managed not to become obsessed with facebook because that would be another site I could spend hours on, but it's getting harder now that people try and contact me on there.

*cough*Weirdo*cough* I don't dream much at the moment, or at least remember them. Kinda sad actually, but yes, sorry about invading your dreams, at least you had a nice hot guy to look at.

I knew it!!! I knew I should have copied that comment. It just did exactly the same thing to me twice - first time I was surprised by my mum coming into my room and the second time it said I wasn't logged into Mibba.

Hmm, I would have pegged you for the mathy type. Although I guess I'm not the mathy type but I still enjoy it...

There's no wrong interpretation! As long as you can back up your opinion, then it's viable, no matter how crazy. Although, admittedly, sometimes interpretations are personal so other people won't understand how you reached that conclusion...

Eek, sounds like a grim teacher. I can't believe they're even allowed to give you that much for one evening! Most of the time we get a week for stuff - that way it falls over the weekend and doesn't clash with part-time jobs or extra-curricular stuff.

Ever done philosophy/re? I think you'd enjoy them. They're mostly about argueing the ethics behind things. My bf does both and is constantly ranting about the mistakes the government has made over the past few years, which would have been totally avoidable if they'd just thought about what they were doing...

Ok, I'm gonna copy this before I attempt to post in case something goes wrong again...

It's weird isnt it, because on friends computers it doesn't always do that, I wonder why. But yeah Ivy and I have a thing going where at the end of a comment we usually remind the other person to Copy their message before they send it because too many times have we tried to submit it and it's come up with an error and lost the whole thing. At the moment we are going through all the words we can think of that mean copy, like my last one was effigy.
Okay, not sure I quite followed all the losing and finding but I think in the end you only had to write one paragraph again so yes that is good.

Please keep that firmly in your mind, I'd rather you not accidentally forget and end up killing me, I would not be best pleased.

No I haven't, but I might have to now :) or not, if it has a bad ending...have you read the Black Magicians series by Trudi Canavan? Thats the same sort of thing, it's an amazing series but I hate hate hate! the ending. I love it when I make people cry!...Not because I'm mean or anything, but it's just cool that my story makes people feel so strongly about things XD

Yes she is, dang her, she makes me feel naff. My story is not meant to be a romance at all, it has a range of tags ,but romance is deffo not one of them.

I prefer the films of P&P and Emma, probably because I saw them first, but I've read P&P, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park....hmm I thought I read one more but I can't remember.
Oooh, look what I just found: http://www.austen.350.com/
Never heard of the last two.

Romances I don't mind about, it's sex scenes that embarrass me! If anyone knew what I was reading while I was sitting next to them, what would they think? They just pop up out of the blue in some books so if I'm a public place and it's making me blush *shudders* the horror.
Which Pride and Prejudice do you like to watch, I'm not so thrilled with the new one, I like the old one with Colin Firth in, Mr Bennett is hilarious.

I think there is something about me that brings out the long windedness in people, I seem to have several conversations this length with people, they just grow and grow, obviously I have a lot of crap to talk about.

Oh I do that a lot, only my comp is weird, you don't even have to hit the close button, you just have to click anywhere on the page outside the comment box, which is annoying when I want to change tabs to remember what someone has sent me in a long comment and accidentally click the button when I move the mouse grrrrr!

Good things come to those who wait.
Don't kill me don't kill me don't kill me!
If you kill me I wont be able to write any more.

Yes, I detest unhappy endings, so I don't think you need to fear of it being a bad one, and if it is....*hint hint* watch out for the next book, that's the only explanation.

*cough* If I remember correctly Ivy (xXGreyWingsXx) wrote it for me :) I've probably edited it a little, but yeah, the thanks will have to go to her :P well I'm glad it changed your mind. I'm not sure I've ever read a....wait, not true, I was going to say I don't think I've read a book that can just be called a romance, that being the main and almost only theme in the book, but I've read Jane Austen so....
*whispers* don't worry, I wont let any one know about the romance thing!

Hmm, I know what you mean. Sometimes it is a little annoying. Do you like Maths then? Cos there's always a right answer there.

:D I'm glad it sucked you in, despite your original uncertainty, I still can't quite fathom why people like it so much, it's amazing, so many people are saying they've read it all in one go, it makes me bounce with happiness!
Okay, okay, don't worry, I'm working on an update, this one needs research though, which takes a little longer, but things will be getting relatively action packed, so you have that to look forward to.

Out of curiosity, why at first did you not think you'd like it?

Oh no, you don't want me to tell you, that would ruin it!!!!!!!

I like ambiguity. It lets me do whatever I want with a phrase!
How's life?

Mmm, I'm not overly fond of poetry myself, but I tend to gain a little sympathy with those pieces I study for a while. So I now quite respect Owen, Eliot and Tennyson... Oddly enough, I find some of Byron's lines brilliant without even looking at them in context.

I think you have to get into a particular mindset with Prufrock. It's more about not trying to reason at first, and just letting your mind wander. And then once you've got an idea you can turn over to the analysis side and try to back it up.

Um, as in, where the plot rotates around one person tricking another, or there's an element of that in a sub-plot. In TAOHF both Huck and Jim attempt to avoid authority. [i]The Great Gatsby[/i] deals with the sub-plot of Gatsby's shady dealings with the Chicago speak-easies, and has the 'added twist of facelessness preserved through the use of the telephone'... Sorry, I'm starting to quote my essays! They're still floating around rather uselessly in my head.

Hmm, I wouldn't exactly call them horrors. Besides Eliot lived in England for the majority of his life, so there's quite a bit of english culture in his poetry, which is nice. Apparently, someone wrote an entire dissertation on how the phrase [i]HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME[/i] was meant to represent the apocalypse!! It was because they were American and didn't understand England's pub culture...

Sounds quite different from our syllabus then. Although I read [i]The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn[/i] as wider reading for [i]The Great Gatsby[/i] because it tied in with its position as an American Confidence novel.

Um, let's see. We started off the term with [i]A Doll's House[/i] by Henrik Ibsen, but then the teachers realised it was ten years out-of-date for the publishing time period, so our coursework for that didn't count. Then we did [i]The House of Mirth[/i] by Edith Wharton and [i]On Chesil Beach[/i] by Ian McEwan in a comparative essay. Then [i]The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock[/i] was our close analysis coursework to replace [i]A Doll's House[/i]. [i]The Great Gatsby[/i] and Wilfrid Owen's poetry were our exam texts.
Which/ what did you study?
