My brother is called Liam so whenever I hear that name it's him I think of as opposed to the character (same with my friend Rose) but for most other names that are in twific I'll think of their character. I expect all Edward's I meet to be good-looking, sadly this isn't the case :( Name's like Carlisle and Esme are so rare that the only association have for them is from fanfiction.

I'm currently sitting with a jug of pink lemonade and answering reviews. One thing I've noticed is that many people complain their reviews don't get responded to, but when you do they don't reply back. It's weird.
If a writer responds with a comment, most of the time I will reply.  If they respond with a generic thank you or your review made me laugh, I don't always respond because I'm not sure what to say. 

I don't really expect a response from every review I write, because sometimes it is just a thanks for updating. I realize many readers go by the number of reviews when choosing a story, so if I like it, I try to help with the numbers. If I don't like it, I usually don't review :P

Hey Girl,
i think it depends on your answer.
I do talk with some authors back and forth sometimes. But depending on what you answer back if i just have an ok to say, or yeah you are right, i think i might be wasting the authors time.

There is this author that i always end having mini conversations after a review. She always answer back. But my last review was just: d.a.m.n. There was nothing to answer to and i get that.

But as  a reader i guarantee you answers are appreciated. Even if it is a short one.

But you if you are copying and pasting the same answer to all reviews, i dont care for those. :-*

Astro:  Thank you for sending me the 30DS downloads last night.

laurendeplume: thanks for bringing 30DS to our attention

demaris/Astro/Ella/Rickell and everyone else who is on it and raved about it:  thank you for helping me decide to ask Astro for 30DS

Now, here's my problem.  Instead of working out, I stared at Astro's email for a few minutes and then I called my bff up for a late dinner at a steakhouse.   :o  It was savory deliciousness and goodness, but now I'm feeling guilty  :(

I'm staring at the email again.... right now.  And now I want a Chicken Parmigiana sandwich  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
I would rather cuddle then have sex.  If you're good with grammar, you'll get it.

It's supposed to help you lose weight, not gain it. ;)  But I do know what you are saying, I think to myself "I need to go on a diet & quit eating so much" next thing I know, I'm standing in front of the fridge or cupboard looking for something unhealthy to eat.  Stupid brain that does the opposite of what it should  :-\

I made the mistake of looking up that sandwich, having never seen one before. Now I definitely have to do 30DS today as I think I gained weight just from looking at the picture! As long as you enjoyed it, don't feel guilty. You can treat yourself every once in a while, right? (by once in a while, I mean once a day) ;)

Honestly, the first couple of days of that workout are the worst. After that you wake up feeling like you've had great sex - a spring in your step, tons of good energy and really sore muscles :D Starting is always the most difficult part.

Howdy folks, nice to see yall having fun with your new fitness play.

I'm sitting here debating on hair. I've had my hair short for the past couple of years. Like really short. Pixie Anne Hathaway a few months ago short. And I loved it, but I have a few issues. Number one, I just got tired of it, number two, with it so short, the grey shows back super fast. (yes, I'm vain!) So I've been growing it out since summer. It's back down past my ears, just starting to brush my collar in back ( but with weird shorter parts, so that collar part needs cut anyway).

And it's driving me fricking INSANE.  It's nowhere near long enough for a pony tail, but it's getting in my face all the time. I'd say I have another 6 months at least before I can do anything with it, and I don't know if I should hold out or cut it. I like it short, but I like it longer too.

Have you read Feral by Opal Aline?
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login - the Edward in this is so sweet.  And Bella is not your normal shrinking violet. Also, you really get annoyed with Charlie.  It is about 300 pages on my Nook.  I had a hard time putting it down to do things like work, sleep and well, clean.

I will have to try Love Net next - I thought it was the high school one i tried to read that drove me crazy in the first chapter.  Similar story line though - meets Edward online, doesn't know it is him. Becomes best buddies online. Only in this case, they are somewhat enemies in real life.  At least the summary indicates it.   Anyway, Bella annoyed me and I never got past the first chapter.   Tropic of Virgo was also similar, but I loved that story.



I was starting Impact by nise7465 You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

"Tragedy strikes neurologist and paraplegic Edward, but instead of finding only pain in the hospital, he meets a beauty from his past who has suffered just as much. Sometimes hurting and healing walk hand in hand, and the impact continues. : AH"

It shows as incomplete, but I looked at the last chapter and it is pretty much done except an epilogue.  It was rec'd in Feral, but it looks pretty long.

I have not read feral yet it is on my TBR list.  I also have Impact on my list also.

I certainly wouldn't say I was having fun with it!!

I have only ever had my hair short once - I regretted it as soon as it was cut.

I recently grew my fringe out - that drove me insane so I understand how you're feeling.

I would look at all the styles that you like with longer hair to see whether the wait is worth it.  Also, ask a hairdresser their opinion on how to style it whilst growing it out.

I know!  I have to just start it.  I'm so bad with this type of exercise.  I like just going out and hiking and running or swimming or just playing sports, but I'd rather be leaner rather than too muscley.  I'm not like Pink's (the singer) muscle frame, but as I get older I have to do more pilates and ballet barre type exercises to go lean rather than bulky.  It's just a matter of getting started.  Once I get started, I'm good.

It's sooooo good!!!!!  You must try one!  All that melted mozzarella on uber-yummy marina sauce (I call "gravy") and savory chicken cutlet all in a crispy, but light-as-air Italian roll.  *orgasmic groan*

And you are so correct, starting is always the most difficult part.  I will start it though.  I just don't know when.  I need Jillian Michaels to kick my ass now!  :o

I WISH I had the face to pull off a pixie cut.  My face is too round and I'm such a lazy bum that I am low maintenance with my hair.  I love my hair though, because it knows I'm low maintenance so it does mostly what I need it to do. 

If you've had your pixie cut for a while and it's already starting to grow out, then I say just go for it and let it grow.  It's at that unmanageable stage now, but like you said,  it'll grow out and then you can have it longer and play with it as you will.  Once you get tired of the longer hair, then you can just chop it all off again!

I flove that show!  But I'm worried about it's future since Glen Mazzara left.  :(

Speaking of zombie, I just read Flesh and Skin and really enjoyed them.  Never really thought of zombie apocalypse (the lead characters are not zombies though) and erotica in the same sentence, but the author, Kylie Scott, made it work.  I did like the 2nd book, Skin, better though.

I have not read feral yet it is on my TBR list.  I also have Impact on my list also.
I started Impact, then got caught up in Nature of love by drotuno.  It's really good.  And not too long - about 450 pages. I'm about a third of the way through. They both have angsty things in their past. But no real current angst so far. ;)

Get some headbands. They are so helpful when growing out hair.  I've done the pixie before, only my hair is so thick, it just doesn't look cute. So I tend to go between a bob & long hair. I usually cut it once a year & then let it grow out. Though it freaks out the beauticians when I come in with long hair and have them cut it into a short bob ;)

Oh god, I hate when the stylist keeps asking "are you sure??" Yeah lady, I'm sure, that's why I'm here. if you don't want to cut hair, what are you doing here.

I don't care for much horror/gore, but I do love zombie flicks, and Walking Dead is so much more than just a zombie show, it's one of the best shows on tv right now.
