You like graphic novels too!
My husband wrote a book for teachers and libraians on how to promote graphic novels in schools and libraries. Too many teachers and librarians are stuffy old school minded, and scoff at a perfectly wonderful story venue.
I helped ghost write part of it.
What graphic novels and genre do you cater to?
I like Neil Gaiman and so many others!

These are not graphic novels, but might be of interest to you.

The Stainless Steel Rat is the hero of a series of science fiction novels written by Harry Harrison.

The Myth Adventures series by Robert Asprin.

The Sector General series by James White.

Ok enough of my babbling!
Later!
Hugs!

I have a Neil Gaiman Book, but haven't read it yet. It's Anansi Boys.
I also have Old Twentieth by some soldier, which I haven't read yet either :P it's a science fiction though, not fantasy.

Ever read Crystal Tears by Alan Dean Foster? I think it's great, and I think his Pip & Flinx series sucks.

I also read a fantasy stroy about someone named Skeeb or something, and he was being apprentaced by some Magician, but the magician got assassinated, so He and a "Daemon" have to go conquer whoever assassinated him, or something. It was pretty good.

I have to admit, I don't really like graphic novels, actually.
The pictures are distracting, taken out of their place, hard to appreciate, My imagination conceives well enough, I don't need them.

Yeah, I couldn't get in P&F either.

But yeah, thanks for the reference, I'll try to seek them out, but for now, I'm going to bed.

Well thanks for the effort you put into the anagram getting, and all, though it seems rather fruitless at the moment.

And thanks sincerely for showing me the Robert Asprin Myth series again, I was wondering about it for awhile. I read the first of it a year, or maybe two ago. And ironically found that the illustrator for the novel covers is Phil Folio, a favourite of mine for illustrations for their humourous heart.

Here is a picture of me in my living room with good contrast and conveniently wearing a black tee shirt.

And here is me cutting my 16th birthday cake.

I'm sadly unenlightened of the subject of how to simmer these down in size without actually rehosting smaller versions.

I think you are fun and have some real depth of insight. I enjoy reading your posts and I peeked at your videos - funny and heartwarming.

My second daughter is 11 days older than you, and is Scorpio rising too. She is 26 feb 93, and was born at 10.03pm. She isn't that similar looking to you although she is the fairest skinned out of us all and she does have red natural highlights in her hair but darker than yours; she colours her hair brunette now and has two different coloured eyes - green and blue. I can see you share a similar humour and disposition to a certain degree. I used to think of her as a golden heart when she was little -she still is but she has had to toughen up over the high school years I guess and so her mask is more pronounced.

I like who you are, and I hope you don't get discouraged. You have honesty as well as bravery and I think you are becoming a wonderful man.

I took a look at her chart, set at Victoria River Downs, since I don't know where you live, let alone where she was born. I noticed, according to that, that she has a Taurus Moon. This is significant in that I have a 4 year crush on a Taurus Moon Sagittarius. That's not my stone face, though, my smile is stretched to the camera, so perhaps there is more similarity than assumed by only seeing them, but I wouldn't count on it; I know someone born on the same day as me (or maybe day after, hence my late day birth) in the same hospital, and I don't think we're too alike, of course we don't have the same ascendant as she and I do.
How does your daughter feel about you posting all this? hahahaha I would likely be indifferent, from the unlikeliness of any relation later for consequence to be eminent within. hehe yeah, that was some strange way of saying that, but know it's written so I'm not going to try and straiten it up. It's why I speak freely on the internet like such.

My sister is in Australia, I'm unaware of her exact location, but she was in Sydney a while ago. She's 18 or 19, probably turning 19, her birthday is March 28 or 29 perhaps, And she's my half-sister from my father's side.

But, uh.. yeah, thanks <=]

On other things it appears BlueMoon's link is no longer. I shall replace.

I shall also put a copy on the first post for any new viewers, as this page may indeed be lost in the middle of many.

P.S. I looked for an introduction for you, but found none, however, I did find some posts by you, since you've been on recently obviously.

sorry bout putting you on the spot, I was aiming to be encouraging, because I thought you to be quite valiant in your beliefs and assertions whilst up against some of the more seasoned debaters. So yeah, I just wanted to say, hope you can maintain your good self, because I think you have a brilliant personality.

My daughter is a sweetheart, however she has been involved with a long term bf since she was 13 and there is a lot of stuff between them because in the beginning, his best friend suicided after his father died of cancer. They are still together everyday just about - though they are supposedly on a break - don't know the details.
