I'm definitely a typer. Sometimes I write poetry by hand, but stories and papers/articles/other school-mandated stuff is all typed. I work a lot faster that way and it just seems to work better. The bad part: when the computer crashes with my only copy inside!! :eek: Erin

Definitely not a one-track mind. I'm usually jumping all over the place wriiting half a dozen things at once. Of course, that's rather unavoidable when it comes to writing for school, but I do it in my free time all the time too. Erin P.S. I don't chew gum!

James Bond is chock full of 'em, but my personal favorite (the most cringe-inducing): "He had guts" - George Lazenby as James Bond in "On His Majesty's Secret Service." They're skiing down this huge snow-covered mountain, and one of the guys pursuing him is ground up by some sort of...

LOL! *frantically channel-surfing to find the Byron Channel* :p Erin

We'll have to come up with one requiring a Southern accent... ;) Erin

Ever since grade school, I've been very mindful of trying to use anything and everything other than "said" when it comes to dialogue tags. I remember a handout we got in school one time: "Said Is Dead". It had about a hundred alternatives we could use. Well, then I got to college, and suddenly...

Ooh, those are both great ones. I've spent my share of time drooling over Orlando in elf garb (though without it the magic is gone for me :confused: ), and I'd forgotten about Oliver, but good Lord yes! I kept looking forward to the Quidditch scenes in hopes that he'd say something. A Scottish...

Thank you for your condolences. This is the first time I've lost a cat (well, actually, one disappeared several years ago, but it's different because we always think she could come back...), so it's especially tough. :( Glad to hear about your new dog, Debo. I'm sure he will bring lots of joy...

This morning we found one of our cats, Superkat, lying on the basement floor in a coma. He couldn't move; he was so limp I had trouble picking him up. We rushed him to the vet, and they said his temperature was ten degrees below normal. They hooked him up to an oxygen tank and did a few tests...

I hate coffee too! But I'm especially cantankerous - I can't even stand the smell. :p Erin

I agree, I usually don't have much of a plan when I start out. I just kinda write and see where it takes me. I've never been any good at outlines. But I definitely do enjoy writing - that's my degree, too. I write all kinds of stuff, but I would especially love to write children's books! :) Erin

Clay Aiken! He's the most gorgeous celebrity of my generation I've ever seen! :flirt: Erin

I agree, I like Charles much better. But I don't really consider him villainous, even though he did occupy Frank's role. He was a much more decent and compassionate person than Frank, he just had an annoying superior attitude. I think by the end of the series he evolved to the point that he was...

I loved Rocksteady and Bebop. I thought they were so cute. Gotta love those bumbling henchmen. The guys on "Sister Act" always reminded me of those two. It's hard to feel to threatened by villains like that... Erin

I've always tended to sympathize with the bad guys in movies. Most of the time they're in a gray enough area that I can't help but feel empathy for them. I think my favorite bad guy has always been Gollum, from "Lord of the Rings" -- and "The Hobbit" first. My mom used to get mad at me when we...

Welcome back, Byron! (I would've wished you luck but I've been away for the past week :p ) I think it's awesome that you got the chance to audition for Disney, and that you actually went through with it. I don't think I would have had the nerve!! It sounds like it was a terrific trip, glitches...

I've always liked the Beatles but have been an especially big fan since my younger brother decided a couple years ago that they were his favorite band. I had a chance to go to Liverpool when I was in England in 2001, and that was very cool. Can't help but get into the Beatles when you're in...

I just read the news yesterday after watching "The Green Mile" for the first time Monday night. I've loved Michael Jeter in everything I've seen him in, but I didn't know his name off-hand. I watched the credits of "The Green Mile" and made note of his name, and that was why it jumped out at me...

Thanks, Wolfy, maybe I'll have to go pay my respects. We're only a couple hours away. Erin

I agree with Don McLean when he says "I hate fashion / I hate it with a passion." I find those Awards Show Fashion Recaps soooo incredibly annoying. Who is that particular person, anyway, to say how another person should be dressed? I personally find the whole clothes thing very boring, and I...
