Timewaster's Guide Archive

As I mentioned in your Hello thread there's a FAQ that would be a good idea to look through.  It's written mostly by EUOL so you could consider it a prequel of Elantris if that makes reading it easer.

LOL. That's a good one, Sprig.  

Ookla, I sent you a PM with my email in it.

I love my neice and nephew. And, when I took them to the park today, I officially became the coolest person in the world--well, the coolest adult on the playground, at least (and I say "adult" loosely). I kept coming up with really creative things for Owen and Ava and me to do, like play that we were rescue rangers and we had to save Owen from falling down the slide into hot lava or pretend that I was an evil super villian who would lock them up in prison (a net-like portion of the playground) where they could NEVER escape (which, of course, they did). Well, soon all the other kids on the playground wanted to play, too. And they were all trying to get my attention and get me to chase them or put me in jail and would get upset if I would take a break or go off to play with Ava (the two-year-old who needs more constant observance) alone. It actually got a little overwhelming, though it was flattering. I mean, my imagination and I were in demand. That doesn't happen everyday.

So, I felt validated. At least kids love me. And that is certainly true of Owen and Ava. I felt bad for my brother tonight when Ava cried inconsolably when I was leaving, howling my name as she struggled against my brother's arms and reached for me. (Her mom's out of town and that makes her a little more insecure, I think.) Yet, once again, I was flattered. Nothing like a child heart-broken at your leaving to make you feel loved.  

I want to thank everyone, mostly Nessa and Chimera, for submitting so much over the past month and a half - two months.  There's been so much going on for all the editors and staff that some of us, like me, just completely pushed TWG's front page out of their mind.  Everything, anyone writes is very appreciated.

Awww, thanks Sprig! That just made my week! Really, it means a lot to me. *Chimera gives Spriggan a big hug*

Now you'll get more book reviews for sure!

And I'll see if I'm brave/innovative enough to branch off into other areas--like webcomic reviews--so there can be even more content.

Yeah, I saw this first in your lj. I don't read this section much, but found this thread because I was looking for it. As I said on your lj, I'll be happy to read and give you feedback. Do you still have my email?

Oh, and SE--I read your book, but now I can't remember if I ever gave you comments for it! The one with the arranged marriage and the curse. I know I made comments, but if I remember correctly, it was about the time I was experiencing health problems and then moved and then left TWG for awhile, so it is quite possible I never gave them to you.

I still have them. Did you ever get them? Do you want them now?

I just saw this on Yahoo, my homepage. Here's their article. Gosh, this makes me sad. It does seem appropriate for him to die while doing what he loved--filming dangerous creatures--but it still is tragic. I kind of saw the Crocodile Hunter as invincible. So sad.  

Wow, you used to have a lot of hair.
