 Shouldn't immortal vampires act like crotchety grandparents and not like suave 30somethings?, Been bothering me since Twilight |

QUOTE (K M Faust @ Jan 14 2009, 12:14 AM)  Trust me, I teach art to kids from kindergarten to eighth grade and boy do kids read. I've seen sixth graders read novels like Twilight, which was all my six graders talked about, to students reading novels the size of War and Peace. Kids love to read fiction and many...more than I can count read Fantasy and Science Fiction novels. Yes, Twilight is a teenage girl's dream, chick flick, but all of the students I know who have seen it read the entire series of books first. If you're curious if students/kids love to read, remember the Harry Potter book craze? i guess as always its more a "issue" of what they read, then that they dont read enough (of what the gown up generation(s) consider correct, character building, reading material)... |

I don't really like any of John Ringo's stuff before that series came out. But after reading the first one, you JUST*CAN'T*STOP*!!!*
One of those things that Epic Fail so hard it warps the space time continuum to end up at Epic Win. I have had serious thoughts about making a SR PC or NPC based off Mike, but then the other players (& GM if I ever get to play) would spend the whole game staring at me in horrified fascination (or at least until I could no longer keep up the total Id front). |

True dat! I think I'll make up a character for all the really interesting characters from the books...
And I'm trying to figure out how to cut your post down to siggy it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

POISON FINGERNAILS I get poison fingernails when I pick my nose in the morning while I have a cold and I pull (with an acute sensation of something being dislodged from inside my head) something resembling that giant hand-shaped gold nugget they have on display at the Golden Nugget casino in Las Vegas. |

I've been sigged! I feel like I've finally been accepted! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I think I'll put another quote in my sig: QUOTE "I like the poison fingernails," Katya said. "I can use them on this mission!" .Hell, there's a lot of good quotes in there, most of them probably not safe for most forums (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
