For those who like it, it's great. I understand the mindset. I've just learned that I don't really agree with it much.

which is what I meant.

November is just so terribly busy as it is

Yup, there is that.

New house, and the little one wants us to do T-day *here*

For about 10 people.

And I've agreed.

So no, I don't need anything else on my plate.

Hello, reppers.

I'm home. In one piece. Safe and mostly sound, except for still itching thanks to the first lot of antibiotics they gave me for the delightful throat infection I enjoyed while I was away. *scratches*

well, that's mostly good.

I hate to say this, but I wasn't aware you were away. Where did you go?

Except turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans, pumpkin coconut cream pie.....

mmmmmmmmm.....

Oh.... coconut! mmmmmm

Hey Elle!

Goodie, someone else who likes coconut

I especially like it wrapped up in dark chocolate.

you mean, like an Almond Joy or a mounds?

Bounty, although not sure what they are called in your part of the world.

what part of the world are you in?

The UK

Oh. I'm in the American part....

I do like coconut, but it's not usually my pie of choice for the holidays.

Though it makes for an interesting subsitute and something worth thinking about.

I don't even need a holiday to make that pie. The only trouble I have is keeping that water (or whatever it is) from forming between the fluffy meringue and the custard after its been refrigerated.

bah, I posted a thread an no-one is answering. So I shall ask here... any one you ever done a scrapbook story? A story made of blog entries and emails and things. I thought it was a great idea until I started and now I'm getting nervous.

it sounds interesting, but a little confusing....

what kind of story?

A ghost story

oo! very intriguing.....

I think that has potential...certainly

So far I've got obituaries, some video transcript and a small scene. Ah well, if it doesn't work. I'll toss it and start over.

so you're going to use actual obits and blog entries and such to piece together a story?

wow...that sounds difficult

well, fictional obits and such.

Like this

I can't access that link

Oh well.....

good luck with it...anything I can help with?

bugger, give me a mo, I'll change the permissions.

6th form English at my school (or maybe 7th) had a creative presentation project along those lines, Ellefire. Not blogs, because I'm ancient. But we had to piece together a presentation including things like newspaper articles, diaries... um... I forget what else. All made up, of course, or it'd not be creative. It was pretty fun, except for the part where I had to spend a whole night making little leprechaun dolls. That was pure tedium.

*decides not to pretend to be all wounded*

I thought I'd spend the first week of my study break at my mother's. Where the internet is dial-up and the computers die when I look at them. It seemed a good way to get a lot of studying done. Except for little distractions like being sick, and a job interview, it might even have worked.
