The TARDIS with David Tennant
Her poetry just kills me, it's so beautiful. guh. I particularly like "Pre-Amphibian"; "This is a Photograph of Me"; "Morning in the Burned House"; and "The City Planners" by her.

I'm off to buy some rainboots, so see you twifties later :)

*blinks* I thought you said you were going to buy some rainbows for a second there.

Hey guys!

Ky - My MMC named Ceiro goes by "Ky" lol. I just remembered that when I caught you online at the same time as me. Wasn't I the first one to start nicknaming you that? lol I don't remember. December 09 was WAY too long ago. And that reminds me that I still haven't submitted to Natalie. Sigh... Hopefully in early 2012 though!

Haha, really? That's neat - is that pronounced Cairo, like the city in Egypt, or differently?

And yep, you bestowed that nickname on me, and then other people picked it up. :)

Mines about an emotional teenager who is horrorstruck at his father's murder. His mom died the year before and he can't bear lose another family member. And man this kid has problems. Typical teen. Anyway, he conducts a private search to find his dads killer. BTW, his dad is Rowling famous and writes noir novels about being a serial killer. The exquisite details in his book are almost uncanny. They can't be mimicked unless actually killing...
Anyway, the MC discovers that his dad is not who he says he is. He discovers that before marrying his mom, his dad had another identity. Further exploration reveals that his dad (the old one) was a suspect in eight homicides. And the MC realizes that his fathers stories weren't just fiction...

Me? Hi, I'm Kyrie.

Methinks I should take my Tale of Two Cities and go to bed... I have to get up early tomorrow (ugh) to go visit my college friend (yay!).

Don't blow up the internet without me tomorrow, guys. ;)

It was supposed to get 6x faster. I was so excited. Then I got home from swimming and it was just GAH.

But... at least it's better than dial-up. :D

Oh, yeah, dial-up is the worst. Do you have satellite? That's what we used to have.

No. It's just normal internet-type stuff. I don't know, it is all so confusing. This is why I'm the writer and my brother is the computer person.

Hahha, I see. Yeah, I'm not quite sure what ours is either.

And yeah, he's quite the douche, but not quite as sinister as Azula. One of the best villains ever, in my opinion.
