Rewatching Once Upon a Time from the very beginning. Season 1 was the best... I mean, I liked that Regina got her heart and became a good person again, but the show just wasn't as good when they started moving it away from Storybrooke. I was beyond bored with Neverland and the show just couldn't regain my interest after that. Zerlina was such a terrible character, I honestly wondered why she even bothered. Everyone, literally everyone in Storybrooke hated her. Why would you stick around if you were that unwelcome? She's probably my most hated TV character of all time because she was just that despicable. IF EVERYONE HATES YOU, GO AWAY. LOL!! Then the Frozen stuff dragged. the. eff. on. for. ever. WHY. When Cruella and some of those others joined the show, I just didn't even care anymore. So, back to the beginning! When Rump-Belle was my life.

I dunno, sounds like you're meeting the wrong people. I don't like people who make me cry and I don't like fighting. I wouldn't be in a relationship with people like that. Maybe that's just me. lol

I think I would have enjoyed college more if I hadn't had to work at the same time... I hope you have time to devote to your classes and studying. That's really the hardest thing. I always enjoyed being on campus with its well-kept lawns and great food, the bookstore, the computer labs...
Posted in Whats your childhood toy?
Posted 6 years ago
I still have almost all of my childhood toys. Honestly, the only things I ever asked my parents for were books and dolls. I still have them, even the dolls that are broken. We lived in a very remote area so I never had anyone to play with. My dolls were my "friends" and they still mean a lot to me. I'm trying to find places for them all.

Last weekend I met LeVar Burton. He has really weird handwriting. LOL! After he signed a print of Jordi LaForge from Star Trek for us, my wife was like, "WTF did he even write?!" It took us all day to realize that was her name. hahahaha! He was wearing a Reading Rainbow shirt, though, and he is just so adorable. I always thought he had an infectious laugh, but to hear it in person is music to your ears. He's so nice! I'm really glad we got to meet him.
We also met Cary Elwes. He is really nice to his fans and made sure to shake each person's hand and ask their names. And he even said his back, like we didn't know who he was. LOL! "Eldweena? Cary. Nice to meet you." We tried to meet him last year but he cancelled his appearance. Luckily he rescheduled this year and I tried to take everything I could think of to have him sign: a copy of "The Princess Bride" on DVD as well as the book, the PlayStation game "The Bard's Tale," and while I was there I bought his book, "As You Wish" for him to sign. Afterward I was like, "D'oh! I forgot Men in Tights." LOL!

I notice you didn't say one thing you loved about him or mention anything he ever did for you. That's probably a sign... If he called you names when you were depressed, he was just compounding the issue. You don't need him.

Honestly, I'm not interested in paying $100 for a machine I already own 3 of. lol Any game I want for Playstation or PS2 is going to be under $10 on eBay, so to me, that's not worth the price. I don't even know what games come with it but...it's not worth the price. lol!

Elder Scrolls Online. But my wife's computer crapped out and is waiting for a new video card, so right now I'm just gathering crafting materials and leveling my crafting and basic stuff, until her computer is fixed and we can resume questing together.

I've played a lot of Oblivion but never done the main quest. hahaha I was enjoying Morrowind but got stuck somewhere. Also, when it's night time in that game, my screen is literally black and I can't see anything. It made it too difficult to continue. :
Skyrim, I have done the dragon questline once and then played through the civil war twice, to play each side through to the end.
I don't really mind easy games. I play them mainly for the story and roleplay. When I play Oblivion I turn the difficulty all the way down so I'm basically invincible. XD I like getting through the arena as fast as possible so I can get some money early on. lol

@Night XIV: Thank you! 
It's all newbie gear cause I'm still new to the site, but I liked the colors a lot.
I'm just glad Nikki is fixed now. I don't really have time to play with it anymore but maybe some time I'll check it out.

What are you currently working on?
My wife and I just had a neat idea we're beginning to plot out! We haven't really written anything since Camp NaNoWriMo in April, because work has gotten so hectic and stressful. It's actually something we came up with a couple years ago and forgot about. We never made a single note about it, but somehow she randomly remembered it the other day and now we're really excited to start noveling together again!
How far along are you?
5 pages of notes/discussion/plotting so far.
What inspired you to start this project?
Our favorite OCs, and the anime, Elemental Gelade. It's got some really interesting elements that we think will translate into a fantasy setting in an exciting way.
What has been your biggest obstacle with this writing project so far?
Trying to figure out whether or not we made any prior notes... We have a random document with the story title from February 2016 but it's entirely blank. So I don't know if we lost the notes or seriously didn't write anything down...

Another Movie Addict:
I really miss Borders for this, it had a good balance of natural noise and quiet. Of course they are gone, and soon Barnes & Nobles will also be gone. Last I looked they're going out of business.
A lot of the authors I know go to like hookah cafes and places like that. They seem to enjoy the buzz of activity around them. My best writing was always smack in the middle class when I'm supposed to be concentrating on something else. XD

Barnes & Noble is going out of business?! Oh, no! Well, we don't have one of those here, but still. lol Whenever I go out of town, I love shopping there.
We definitely don't have hookah cafes in the uber-religious South and the only cafe we have is Starbucks. That place is LOUD AF. All those coffee-makers whirring and churning constantly. And there's nowhere to sit. Not in ours, anyway. I hate that place. And the smell of coffee. lol!
We do have a Books-A-Million with a seating area, and they make various drinks and pastries so it doesn't stink like coffee. I might try that some time. I was actually going to go there with my writing group yesterday, but after we all ate breakfast, the weather was so awful we all just wanted to go home.

I forgot about The Dresden Files... Someone recommended that series to me forever ago and I completely forgot about it. There's a TV series, too, right?
I'm reading "Pines," but the writing is so odd (I hesitate to say "bad," because I think he's doing it intentionally...). It's about a Secret Service agent who wakes up in a town he can't escape from. The people have to live where they are told, work jobs they are placed in, and form relationships with people they are "assigned" to. I think I'd be more into it, but I watched the TV series so I know exactly where it's going. lol The pace is also terribly slow. They made a single season of the TV show using the entire book trilogy! XD I can't say I recommend it at this point. The author has good ideas but I don't feel he's a very good writer.
