Ugg, stupid Fifty Shades of Grey!!! apparently there's a rumor that Emma Watson is going to be Anastasia.... Bunch of crap if you ask me,  I actually think that the idea of making that stupid book into a movie is ridiculous, but hey what do I know, people like it  :pulling :pulling

It is definitely laugh of loud funny, no angst there.  But it is great read.  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Except for the coughing jags that make me pee my pants.  :-[ :-[ :banghead:

So I think I deserve a dunce cap for how long it took me to find this place...

Anyway, my name's Sam. ("Hi, Sam!") I'm relatively new to the Twilight/Twific world. (I literally just finished the books this past winter and am finally starting on the movies.)  I'm attempting to write some Twilight fanfiction, but it's not going well, so I won't link. (I'm turning 22 in a few weeks and haven't actually sat down to write anything since I was about 16. Getting back into the habit is slow going.) I'm starting my Twilight fanfiction addiction adventure with the extremely popular "Wide Awake". Anyone have suggestions on where to go from there?

 :welcome:

Jeez! You girls are always so chatty on a Monday! (or a Sunday night, depending on where you are)

Really???? 9 days and then holidays? If it weren't for the kids, I think I'd love being a teacher.  So much time off. ;)

It's now 8 days until holidays, and I'm at a workshop for one of those days.

The down side is that we have our financial audit on Thursday and Friday of this week, and a P&C (PTA) meeting on Monday night - probably my 2 least favourite work-related activities.

Yeah I know  *sigh*  but I had to chose accounting my mom told me to be a teacher in this case I should of listen but nnnoooo, I had to say but mom I love accounting. Now I only get at work a week worth of vacation time  :( on the plus side I get national holidays too so I guess I can't complain   :P

I would take a class of 25 to 30 kids over anything to do with accounting and numbers.

Well, I'm an auditor -it's accounting with a twist.  So it is a little more fun, at least to me. 

But I do get more than a week vacation a year - about 4, but if you plan it right with the holidays, it can be stretched out to more. But mostly? In the US? Grade school teachers don't get paid all that well if you take into account the cost of living. So many of them work at other jobs during summer breaks. 

Maybe you'll get more time off after a few years?  ;D

Auditors are not my favourite people this week! Especially when we're supposed to get audited every year and our last audit was in 2010!

So glad that I don't need to work over my holidays! I am exhausted and the kids are too.

I always work during the holidays to prepare for the next term, usually 3-5 hours each day on average, but I don't have to deal with traffic, I can wear my pjs, and I can drink vodka while I do it!

And if I don't feel like doing any one day, I can do it the next - with no annoying kids, teachers or parents to interrupt me!

I need some advice.

im taking some online classes.
The reasoning logic teacher is slipping up on his grammar.

he did two major ones, and one of them he already said it 5 times in the video im watching right now.
Its the kind of mistake uneducated people make.


should i write an email telling him or the course supervisor about it?
or just let it go?

I had a stepsister who was a Gemini, so I know all about that bipolar business. So now we know that we shouldn't try to teach you anything or you'll become confrontational.   :-X   You hear that, Astro?

I hear you, loud and clear!

when i wrote that i kept thinking of Astro.  :D  :D :D

i will put her in her place!! :040: :040:

Egos.

I can say this because I am a teacher, but teachers are the worst at taking criticism and correction, and have long memories for grudges!

You know that saying "Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach"?

It's usually doubly so for adult educators - if they are so good at whatever it is that they are teaching, then why are they teaching instead of doing it? I went to uni thinking that the lecturers must be amazing teachers if they were teaching me how to teach - big mistake! If they were to spend 10 minutes in a classroom, they would get eaten alive!

My advice would be just to let it go, unless there is an anonymous feedback at the end of the course. You never know when you might need advice from this guy.

Are his grammatical mistakes actually impacting on the content? If they are, then do something. If not, then just ignore it...or play Classroom Bingo. Write down all of his most common errors and everytime he does it, cross out a box. When you have crossed out all of the boxes, either shout bingo or have a shot.

Quick question from my deathbed - did we ever get Customsward or are we still waiting?

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
We are still waiting.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

No pity when it's self-inflicted!

Still waiting for Customsward!

Patience - good things come to those who wait.

I've picked up this stupid chest cold that's going around and I've been wondering how much does one really need to breathe?  I mean really?   ;D

Breathing is very over-rated! But it's a really hard habit to break.

You can have mine.  I've had it over 48 hours....shouldn't it be gone by now??

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Yeah, there's the joke that if you go to the doctor, your cold will go away in only 2 weeks.  Otherwise it will last 14 days.  :D :D :D :D :D

And? I took 2 bites of dinner and was full.  Isn't it great? 

Except for the coughing jags that make me pee my pants.  :-[ :-[ :banghead:

I wouldn't wish any sort of chest cold on my worst enemy! I have terrible lungs - asthmatic, whooping cough twice in 12 months, scar tissue all make me very susceptible to chest infections.

I had a horrible chest cold last winter that lasted for about 6 weeks. My chest, back and stomach were so bruised it, looked like I had been beaten. I lost a heap of weight because everything was so swollen, I could barely get anything other than soup or tea down.

I was coughing so much and so hard that I actually tore my...bits...down there. (Did you like that, Lauren? I learnt if from your Writing Guide by ELJames link .)

I've posted this tip before, but put Vicks VapoRub on your feet, then put on socks. It really does work wonders when you have any sort of cold.

And put honey and ginger on EVERYTHING! The honey soothes and the ginger opens up the airways.

Oh...and maybe buy some Depends  :P

I come on to see what you lot are talking about and what do I find??!!!  Astro, don't fancy the honey and ginger on everything.  I have heard of the Vicks on your feet, my nan used to do it, but my mum always dismissed it. Rickell, the Depends bit she mentions, is she talking about Tena??!!!!!

I just inhaled 2 corn dogs on the way home from the store.  :sad: I'm so ashamed.   :'(

Please educate me! What exactly are corn dogs?

I had always imagined them to be like what we call "Dagwood Dogs" or "Pluto Pups" but we can only get these at "The Show", which is what I imagine a state fair to be like.



I don't know anyone that could eat 2 Dagwood Dogs so I'm thinking I am completely wrong, or our dogs are just really big.

Actually, I don't know anyone who would really want to eat 2 Dagwood Dogs - once you get past the deliciously greasy crispy batter and the tomato sauce, you don't want to think about the mystery meat hot dog sausage inside!

These are corn dogs, and in my opinion they taste horrible. Last I ate one I had a horrible experience (don't know what exactly) but I'm 100% sure I did.

Yep! Tena = Depends



Honey and Ginger? It was the only way I could get any sleep - I'd shred the ginger, pour boiling water on it, stir in some honey and then sip it in bed.

One night,  I was in bed (sitting up because lying down brought on a coughing fit), and I heard a bird whistling. I thought that was odd, because you don't hear birds whistle at night. I heard it again, and held my breath so that I could listen to it. It stopped whistling.

This went on for a minute or two before I realised that it wasn't a bird - the whistle was my chest wheezing!  :-[ :-[ :-[

Yes, I feel like if she does play Anastasia it will ruin her for me, and I like her... does that make sense in a non- creepy way?

Why are people so hooked on this bl**dy series. There are far better writers as far as I am concerned (Dariachenowith could give her a run for her money).  As far as long multi chap bdsm fics are concerned I think Tara Sue Me is better.  Just saying.

They kinda look the same but ours are about 30cm (11 inches) long, plus the stick. These look shorter.

I don't have asthma, but I once had a chest infection so bad the doc gave me an inhaler, so I know what you are saying about the whistling.  A bird outside at night, priceless.  And poor Ella, but she seems to be happy cos she lost some weight.

She seems so classy compared to other young actresses, especially those who have appeared in another popular movie series based on a book (aka SAF!)

I have no real issue with FSoG as a work of fiction, and actually liked MOTU as a WIP. In fact, I think FSoG made a big contribution to making women's literature actually acceptable, rather than something that was kept hidden under the pillow and never discussed.

I don't think it is an example of good writing, plot, BDSM lifestyles, anything really, but for many women it was titillating and empowered them to discuss their sexuality, so it's not all bad.

I can't imagine how they will turn it into a movie, unless it has an R rating. The male actors that they keep naming are all getting too old to play Christian, and Ana has to be so young and innocent that they need a really good actress who can pull that off.

I love Ryan Gosling and Ian Somerhalder, but picturing either of them with Hermione Granger is a bit too icky!

And Matt Bomer is pretty, but my gaydar would be pinging if I had to watch him as Christian Gray!

I also don't like the way EL James conducted herself with all of the lawsuits, or how she treated the fandom once she was published.

Dariachenowith writes real BDSM - the romance is only the subplot. Her stories and her blog opened my eyes to this different lifestyle and while it's certainly not for me, I can see how and why people make that choice.

TaraSueMe is more about the romance, but it was a choice for both characters - there was no innocent being deflowered and forced into something that she knew nothing about.

One of the better BDSM fics is You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login. I think it has been abandoned, and it is full of SPaG errors, but the actual storyline is really good.
