Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Nex, Happy birthday to you!!!!! Have a great day, I know most of it is over already, but hey, whatever... you've got a couple of good birthday hours left! Mrs. Q I can't believe I haven't said it yet, but I love the update to oh, baby. I have things in my mind of where it's going, but you keep surprising me a little bit. It's going in the general direction but you add little bits that I didn't see coming so I'm waiting to see what you do with it. As for the video, I loved that too. I don't even mind that you killed one of them off b/c it was fantastic (and you didn't kill her so it's ok with me right now) Talk to you guys later. I got out of work early today so I get to watch live, can't stay on long to comment, plus I don' think she'll be on today but I'll check back in later edit: and Hooked, be looking for an email. I don't have all my stuff with me right now, but later on I'm sending some things for you to give your opinion on.

I agree about both names, but I don't know what to use for her yet. I love the name Oliver for some reason, but it is a bit mousy for my people. Ok, Jackson it is. Still thinking of her name though. I don't really like Genevieve, but I did like it as the whole name (completely didn't think of the fact that he won't walk around saying her whole name through the story). Ok, back to the drawing board for her. Let you know what I pick. Thanks for the help

Argh!!!! Still getting it.... "The error returned was: Sorry, the link that brought you to this page seems to be out of date or broken." is what is showing up edit: ok, apparently that site just hates me... well I guess something had to! I'm off to work on my story a little bit. I'm trying to come up with some page filler stuff because it is just too short. My prof suggestioned more of the show-don't-tell part of our class. Some of the things I've talked about in the book can be actual scenes, but I don't know where. I have to go back and do a lot of work. Quick poll for names: for him I like Jackson or Oliver (don't know why) for her I have to pick a french last name b/c of her dad, so I am trying to decide if I want an ethnic first name too. The only ones I like are some mixed and matched from my families names. Still thinking (and right now thinking of nixing the whole thing, but here you go): Genevieve Nicole (ve-ev for the end pronunciation not veeve), Cora, or something else I can't remember right now but I have written down. I also have some last names but I don't have them offhand either, except for Cadieux... Anyhoo.....

Ok I keep going to the HG site to help our girl (yes I've finally posted a few times so I can do it) and the links here keep telling me that they are outdated or wrong... what's up?

Hey! I did the same thing in Austria!! I had a great time though, plus I was the only one on the little float that they didn't make jump out as part of the safety prep thing. I just rode along, sitting in the float and getting tossed around. ANyway, have fun on your trip edit: wow, I've been opening pages on here left and right lately... maybe I'll get the even hundred this time around with only 7 left *and hi Carrie!!*

This one is definately my fave!! For the record, she looks fantastic in the photo at the end

Hey all!! I'm way late, but I'm here dropping in to wish my girl a happy birthday!!! so..... Happy Birthday Carrie and Happy Birthday Pinkpopsicle Angel, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I didn't catch it on here earlier, so I'm, as always, late, but I'm my condolences anyway. My prayers are with you guys. Mrs Q- so psyched about the new chapters!! I'm gonna have to read back a few to refresh my memory and then the new ones so I'll be back later to comment I guess, but I can't wait to read them

Ok... thanks for that helpful little hint cuz I had no clue!! I guess I did a little. I mean I knew that they would get paid after they get me something from my work, but I couldn't imagine them not getting paid at all so I more or less thought it was just a timing issue and if I don't make some mad cash I'd be SOL in the paying them department, so really, thanks for cluing me in! Mrs. Q- congrats!!! glad to hear you tested well. Angel hope your brother's feeling better soon. It sucks to be sick in the summer when you should be on a beach or something somewhere. Alright guys! I'm off to dreamland, wishing for a little TQ/JE magic tomorrow. Hopefully my day won't be too stressful. It's fieldtrip day and i have to take my kids to the beach. (let me just say it's not the way I like to go to the beach) I have my ten kids, including 1 with serius developmental problems, one who is just a worldclass wackadoo (her brother is very autistic and I'm convinced she is too), her brother (yup, got 'em both) and 1 who just seems more and more like he's got some issues. The teacher that I go with from the preschool class complains day in and day out that it's so hard and she has to watch all these kids with their problems and she has no help from any of the parents (who are technically supposed to go with us if their kids has a legit problem, which is 2 of the 3 parents of the above kids). She said it the other day and I finally turned around and said "hey Lori, I don't want to hear it anymore. I have 3 of the 4 kids you just mentioned in my group so relax" I kinda said it as a joke and she laughed at it, me come one!! 3/4 and we had 29 kids total with 3 teachers last time we went. It's gonna be hell cuz no parents ever want to go when they could be doing what they want. Argh!!!! Oh just thought I'd mention, see if anyone else read it (it's sad we have to find so much other stuff to talk about without TQ on. Not sad cuz I love it, but you know what I mean) I just finished a book called Sarah by Marek Halter. My aunt told me about it. It was awesome. It was about the biblical Sarah so I hope that doesn't turn too many off. I'm catholic, but I'm not so religious that I read these things very often, or really even go to church, so I'm not trying to push this becuase of that but it was such a good story. Ok, just wanted to se if anyone has heard of it. Guess I stuck around a little longer Have a good night all!

You're right in that she was never one to need saving, but she damn well deserves someone who would want to save her anyway! Ok, I'll be back in soon, I was just checking in right now. I'm done with classes and pictures so hopefully when my mom gets home we can go to the gym (the perils of not having a license) cuz otherwise I'll ahve to start running again and, let me tell ya, not a fan! PS, my writing teacher is giving me a ton of info on what mags to send my stories to and she also agreed to help me out with my novel!! I told her I always have my cousin but I don't really know him that well so I don't know what kind of help I can get so I'd like any advice I can get from her and she said she'll read it when I'm totally done and see what she can help me with. I'm hoping she can give me some places to send it. I heard it's better to self publish when you write if you don't have an agent b/c without representation it is very hard to get anyone to look at something. Being that I am 22 and flat-ass broke I don't think I can offord an agent right now so this is my best shot. ok, I think I'll be on later if anyone is around. Staci, so glad to have you back, the board always seems to fill up when you're around here!! Carrie, I hope you're having a great last day (this is your last day, right? you come home on Thursday?) If I'm wrong than have a great last few days, but I miss ya. I know I haven't gotten to talk to you very much lately. A bit of cheery news for you though... with my vacation comes 2 weeks of having to do absolutely no required drawings or class writing or other homework, so all my freetime at night is going to my book for ya! Sorry, I can't spare the days, but I'll be spending it with my ohsocute cousins and hiking and yoga classes and things like that. As I don't drive, don't know anyone else, and don't know my way around anything but hermosa beach and the area they live in now I won't really be going anywhere at night so they're all yours! Hopefully I can get a lot done.

so what's with all the multiple posts? hey BSG!!!

ok, as much as this may not be a very popular thing with this crowd I kinda want Tracy to stay in Shadybrook. I really want all those stories people have been coming up with or anything about him getting her out of there. I know he had reasons to get Laura out, but he'd have no other reason than helping her and for his own benifit to get Tracy out. I think it would lead to something great!! that's just me.

hey everyone!! Deb, I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner. I went on the otherday to put my little happiness and I didn't read any of the others posts b/c I only had a minute. I'm so sorry to hear about Fey's father. My prayers are with you guys and tell Fey the same. you said that he'd been battling it for a long time and I know this kind of stuff usually annoys people at times like this, but I always have to say it anyway, but at least he won't suffer anymore. Sorry if that was a 'yeah, no sh-t, kind oft hing, but I watched my great grandmother go through having lymphoma twice so I know you have to find the sunny side of the street somewhere. Anyway, hope you guys are doing well. I finished my doggy portrait the Sunday night. As long as I've had to do this this I never got to start it b/c I was forking 9-10 hours a day and taking my classes in addition to the homework, so I have little to no spare time. That said... I started it Saturday. Seriously rushed job. Oh well, it came out well... haven't been payed yet, but whatever... I know where she lives and I see her everyday so I'm sure she won't stiff me on it. Anyway, I am done with one class and my workshop-story revision for my writing class is due on the 2nd and then I am officially a college grad!!!! unless something happens with my grade this year. So far she told me that I in the A range so I don't think I should have a problem... but whatever, I'll be done!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! Another sinus infection and I have no voice at all right now. I'm getting it all this year, aren't I? At least I'm getting out of the way before I go to California in a few weeks. I have to tickets now so I'm outta here from Aug 25th- Sept 9th, so hopefully that'll make for some good Tracy for you guys. I havcen't been gone in a long time so I don't know that will work out for me, but here's hoping. Later all!!

Well... since you asked... I got a 95 on it! totally shocked by that. I figured she'd give me some back, but I got my grade out of a posible hundred. She said my ending was weak for the great analysis (which I knew b/c I totally half assed it on the ending b/c I had to rush and get it to her) and I still got a 95, so it must have been out of the whole grade. Just thought I'd share my little bit of excitement.

So how much does this suck... I went back and checked the calender and it wasn't due yesterday iy was due today but the time was 9 in the morning. We are not allowed to post them before it was due for any opther project but suddenly for this one we have to because after 9 am it was late. Does she not think people have jobs? I mean... 9 in the morning? What the hell!!! not fair. Anyway, so it turns out I was only a few hours late and not a day late, so I hope I get those points back if it was the same day. Maybe I lost them and if it isn't in by the end of the day they stay gone and otherwise it was a warning. Not likely but maybe

Hey, Welcome back, Mrs. Q!! and by the way, love the new avatar and banner!! A little pissed right now. I had a photo analysis paper due for my comm class. I thought it was due tonight by 9, that's what it says on the caleneder online. I got an email from my professor that said it was due yesterday and I have lost 20 points from it. My best possible grade automatically starts out at an 80 now and it is a big project.

I know this may be a weird plot bunny and not really work out, but since I was thinking of my psychic last year (I really want to go get a reading now) I was thinking of it as a story. Maybe I'll save it for when I'm done with my classes, but I thought I'd put it up here just in case. Anyway, I was out at my sister's birthday party last year. We had her 16th at a hall with a dj and all that. I went into the bathroom to see what was going on. Some psychic from the bar nextdoor was giving reading. She had pulled some girl from the party over warn her about something and everyone wanted her to do the same. I just went in to start clearing some of them out b/c she kept trying to leave and they were bugging her. She was on her way out and she came back over to me and said "I just want to talk to you before I go" and gave me a whoel reading. She gave the girl she had to warm her phone number at work in case she wanted to talk about what happens so I totally want to go get a reading now! Anyway, that was my story that got me to the plot. I think something like that should happen to Tracy. I don't think she would really believe in this stuff too much, but I think if someone pulled her over out of nowhere and said this is going to happen so watch out, it would be a different kind of thing. I think Luke would still be gone and she can warn about... well I don't know yet, maybe I do but I'll save that for my story... but something. I gues I haven't got it all worked out yet, but I still think it would be a good one. Don't know what you all think, but that's me *waves to Remos and Kenna (it's been a while!)*

Ok thanks, that's what I thought too. And yeah, my cousin is, oddly enough, a soap actor. Not currently working, but he has written a pilot and this nephew wants to get into acting. That was what i thought, too, about him thinking I'm just hitting him up for this other kid's work. Plus when I wrote him last year I tols him that I was interested in it as well, but I assured him that I was only saying it as some kind of a jumping off point of something we have in common and I am not looking to use it in anyway

Aw, thanks guys!! No, though. No new decisions on my plans. I'll fill you guys in as I figure it out. I'm kind of annoyed right now. Let me know if you all think this is terribly selfish (b/c I'm starting to and I feel bad about it). The nephew of my new uncle is going out to stay with my uncle in Cali for a few weeks. I am going the last week of Aug first of Sept and my grandmother is coming with me. We don't get to go out often at all. In fact the last time I was there was 2 or 3 years ago so I want some time with them. We are also going to meet my cousin Xander like I said before. My mom just woke me up to ask me if I would mind if the nephew would come when I do and he can meet him too b/c he wants to get into acting. I said I would mind. I know ti would be a nice thing to let him come but he doesn't talk. I'm sure he will if it's two weeks, but as comfortable as I am with most anyone as a general rule I don't this kids at all. The most I have had with him is small talk and that was only b/c he was the groomsman that escorted me down the isle last week! I don't want to spend two weeks with someone I don't know when I am trying to visit my family that I don't ever see and I especially don't want to take him when I meet my cousin for the first time b/c he wants me to take advantage of a connection. I said I'll give him his number when he goes out, but that's all I can do. Is that really awful of me b/c I am thinking of changing my mind. (though a psychic came up to me in a bathroom last years (a whole story unto itself) and told me to stop doing so many things for other people and to think of myself... I think this would qualify, right?) *waves to BSG*

Hey guys, just checking in. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting much new here, I'm sure it's pretty dead, but I'm taking a breal from my homework so I wanted to stop in. MF, can't wait for the new fic. Collette, glad to here thing are better (I hope I'm not wrong but I thought that's what I read). Bit of news, but nothing too exraordinary yet, my professor told me I should submit my stories to be published in an literary mag. I thought that was pretty cool. Exciting for me, anyway

Ok, first of all, BSG, don't know if I ever said it but I love your avatar. I think it's new, but in case I've just been overlooking it for a while I'm saying it now. Next: As much as I really love the above quote I'm going to have to say it... I really hated that we were down a bit but I don't think we've lost popularity as much as others have gone up recently. We are consistantly in the top though, so be happy!!! That being said, I may be alone in this but I'll take a huge drop in the rank for this thread if we can always have Tracy and Lunacy ahead by as much as they are in those polls at hellagood. Those are fantastic and if that many people are loving them it means we'll be seeing more of them, right!! (Thus bringing our rating back up as well) Loved todays episode. not the very best material she's had lately, but she was on a huge amount of the show and she looked fabulous! Ok, that was my bit of positivity for the day... see you all tomorrow Looking forward to all the upcoming stories!! Oh Deb (and this is no pressure so don't pay me any mind) you know who I was missing lately? How is Sister Mary Hotpants doing? Anything new going on with her and John? Night all

Well thanks for all the congrats about graduating everyone!!! It feels pretty good but I'm sure it'll be much better when it's all done in a week or two. I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch seeing all the crap that went on last summer. After this summer I'll officially have my degree so I'll be back in school for my master's in teaching. My mom, who has always said that that is my "calling" and it's what I'm supposed to be doing, said that I should see if I can get a job with set design or some kind of thing like that b/c she thkns I'd enjoy it. I think it would be a lot of fun, plus it can make me some money while I'm taking night classes so it's sounds good to me. I'm hoping I can hit my cousin up for a job, even if I just assist him with whatever. Working for a show would definately teah me a lot about the business if I want to act or something. I know it's always the stupid little girl dream that people have unless they are really outgoing, but that's what I'd really love to do, so here's hoping. Anyway, thanks for all the congrats!!!!! A little annoyed that we, yet again, got a spoiler that didn't happen, but I'm staying pretty chill today so I'm letting it roll... oh well. Hooked, reading your story in a few. I'll edit my comment (we all know it'll be compliments) on it later

That's exactly what it means!!!!!

Didn't Garth Brooks do it too? I am starting to have so many songs in my head to go with a video... if only I could make them on my computer. Anyone heard Everything by Michael Buble yet? It's new, I've only heard it once but I downloaded it and I love it (also Home, I like any of his songs for a vid but I think I just like his songs) Lainey love the story idea!!! I have a few ideas kickin' around but no time to write with my classes still going on. They're done on the 28th I think, so after that I'm good to go, I can finally start writing something for the thread. If not I'lll just throw a couple of my ideas out here and see if anyone is up for catching them. Ugh, I have a picture to start this weekend. At least it is only of someone's dog so it shouldn't take too long, but after that I'm done for a bit and I'm heading for LA for two weeks. I sent a mail to my cousin Xander (who I've never met) a few months ago b/c I know he lives out there too. He did the same to my uncle so I knew he wouldn't be wierded out about it. He's pretty cool so far and he said next time I head out there to give him a call so I think I'm gonna meet him over those weeks. He just got married in April so I'll meet his wife too. Anyone remember who David Bailey is... all you Soap fiends? It's his son, he's an actor too, he's written a pilot so I'll plug it if it airs. he sent me a youtube link for some of it, though. Anyway, that's all that's new out here in humid ol' Connecticut. Man, my aunt wants me to move in with them in LA. I'm definately comsidering it right now. I'll have a job and the weather is fantastic, not that I don't love New England, b/c I do, but still... time for a change
