Pre-Dawn Ramblings

Evening...or...early morning or....*shrug* well, you get the idea. For reasons I'm fairly unclear on, I just signed up on Twitter, so if you, uh, Tweet, I geuss (what is the verb form there?!?) feel free to add me if you like. I have all this stuff now, IMs, a MySpace page, this blog now Twitter. Only thing I haven't done is Facebook, I've never even been on that one, but apparently about half the people I know have it, so I suppose it's only a matter of time. I don't really do a lot with most of these things; I've got 3 IMs & most nights only use YM, I do minimal updates on my MS only got it to do the Peoria NaNo chats, dunno what I'm gonna do with Twitter, I don't even know anyone there, so far as I know. I'm est at keeping up here, so I guess that makes you guys special, huh?

I went to see Coraline this weekend. I really enjoyed it. Cool visuals, interesting story. I took my cousin who's almost 12 & her review consisted mainly of "creepy", so I wouldn't bring any young kids, but she liked it. Finished reading Stardust yesterday. It's somewhat different from the movie, but thankfully not in the you read/see one, then when you go to do the other it's a total letdown. Just different. The movie's a bit lighter, nut both are very fun stories.

I had an idea for a new story the other day. I want to do something like a colony ship or something with planet seeding or terraforming or the like. Bit vague yet because I don't want to just do Firefly or Titan A.E. I liked them both, I adore Firefly, in fact, but somebody already told those stories so...The only certainty I have just yet is that the ship/project is going to be called Appleseed.

In other news, my li'l 10 m/o niece started walking Friday! I completely understand if you're not anywhere near as excited on that one than I am, lol. But, I thought it was pretty awesome.

I like the thought for the story. I prefer Titan A.E. myself, but I'm an anime geek so... By the way, I figured I'd tell you there's manga/anime series called Appleseed, just so you know. Later

Yeah, I liked Titan too, it was fun. And I didn't know that (nt much of an anime/manga geek, lol) so thanks. I dunno that the whole story'd be called that, just the ship probably. I liked the idea of something prompting people to filter themselves out among the stars to disperse like Johnny Appleseed did with the trees in legend, I guess.

Hi there! What's your twitter ID? I'm velvetjademuse there. I did bite the bullet almost a year ago. I'm on Facebook too...and I'm turning into a Facebook junkie! ;o) Good to see you blogging again! Are your computer woes behind you now? *hugs*

Hiya! It's Lollypop1407. I don't have Facebook...but may eventaully. heck I don't use my MS page all that much.

Yeah:) It's not to be blogging again. And...not exactly, lol. Sometimes it'll be fine for a couple days, then I'll go to use it & it'll crash time after time. Still collecting my pennies for a new one, but it's a long way off yet. *hug*

I don't have Twitter..sorry...probably won't be getting it...tried Facebook for about a month...deleted my profile. You already have my MySpace...so anyway.
I should see Coraline...I wonder if Paul would like it (he's 11).
Like I said before, I liked your idea for the new story!

Just thought you should know. It's a great idea. Any other anime questions, I'll be happy to help.
