"This is pretty much what journals are all about, at least to me.
I knew as I wrote them that even though they provided
an excellent place for brain (and heart, and psyche) dump,
they were mainly a map of me."
--- Colleen Wainwright

"Writing gives you the illusion of control,
and then you realize it's just an illusion,
that people are going to bring their own stuff into it."
--- David Sedaris

"Please write again soon.
Though my own life is filled with activity,
letters encourage momentary escape into others lives
and I come back to my own with greater contentment."
--- Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey

"In giving of myself onto these pages every day
I allow myself to write regardless of the depth and meaning.
I share myself with others without fear of recrimination
for these are my thoughts, my feelings and my very being,
and there are non who's opinion of me matters more than my own."
--- Rebecca Laffar-Smith

In response to "The Movie vs. The Book - Eragon (rant beware)"

I think that this reviewer was right when he/she was saying that the book was better than the movie. When I first saw the movie I thought it was excellent but just recently I have started reading the book and I think that the book is completely better than the movie because they leave out a lot of key parts like what the war is based off of, Eragon breaking his wrist and that there are three eggs to start the next generation of dragonriders.

When I first started to see some of the key parts that were missing from the movie I thought that whoever got their hands on this movie were complete and total dummies. Did they even read the book?

When I first saw the movie I thought it would have been better than the book. That all changed when I started the book. I ranted and raved about this book and how much better it was.

When I finished the book I am going to redo the movie the way I think it should have been done. I would put in the key points that it needs and make it a two part movie.

In response to "Libra Odd Spots - It's been a long time."

#220? I think? Scientists have created genetically alteted goats that produce spider silk in their milk, to be used for manufacturing purposes, body armor, steel replacement and what have you. Do you drink spider milk? I mean goat milk?

In response to "Five Me Facts [Meme]"

In no order.
Fact-a-chick-boom. As a gay man I heartily do not agree with your evaluation of the male body. But to each his own!
Weird fact. It's too bad we're not on the same continent as I've only recently discovered I had a twin who did not survive longer than two months of our pregnancy and you might be able to be of use in my quest for finding him.
Factkling. I stuttered, although not badly. I still do when I get nervous, but it's more like getting stuck for words than n-n-n-n-not being ab-b-b-ble to get them out of my mouth.
An interesting entry in a newly discovered blog. I'll be back.

In response to "Five Me Facts [Meme]"

Well ... you didn't want to work in a cubicle with up-tight prunes anyway ... did you?

I kept my job by keeping my secrets ... I'm better without the job and the pain ...

Now ... about the male body ... .... ... God put it together just as intended. He must've been joking with someone when he got around to mine.

I can write backwards and upside down and backwards. It's actually useful.

In response to "Libra Odd Spots - It's been a long time."

My problem is if I commit anymore useless information to memory, I'm afraid I'll forget simple things, like how to open a door.

Thanks for making me smile.

I'll need to think about this if I do it for myself. Some of the letters are difficult. I do not know what to reveal or not.

In response to "The A-Z of Me! [Meme]"

What a wonderful wealth of information about you, Rebecca! You truly are amazing :0) and I count it an honor to have you as a cyber friend! In a lot of ways we're so similar, yet in other ways we're totally opposite. I actually detest Stargate and all those types of shows. That's why I find it so odd that I love your series about it! Isn't that strange?

I love how you gave such descriptive answers in length. My answers were really short, but then maybe I took the easy way out (giggles).

Thanks for sharing the link to your own ABC meme. I've enjoyed it immensely. I hear you on the vocabulary though. I think in 2008 I'm going to try to enhance mine tremendously.

Keep up the great job of being YOU! You're quite the special gem :) And... you're right--you are beautiful!

In response to "What Kind Of Friend Are You? [Quiz]"

I'm a good friend because I am accepting. I think that's a fair description.

I must say you have been very supportive of my endeavours on WdC. Thanks for the fun.
