I never thought I'd buy a Macbook but my Cinema program in college only uses Final Cut Pro and other Mac related video editing programs.

I never thought I'd end up a complete hippy working 7 days a week for virtually no money in too many different groups to mention. Seriously, when I was 16-17ish the plan was to go design planes for one of the biggest arms dealers in the world. past me would think I'm such a dick.
Joining Facebook was the thing I never saw myself doing, I was forced by my stepbrother to make one if I didn't he was going to do it for me and put things down that weren't true like that I was gay or something like that. 
Not to worry you are not alone in that boat I'm 18 and only have my permit too I'm too lazy to drive as the same question keeps entering my mind, where the hell am I going to go? =Ogamefreakbsp said:

Well I applaud you for being able to read something like that even though everyone hates it. I personally hate not knowing myself how bad it is, but I can't bring myself to read it...
OT: I used to hate turn-based battle systems, so finding myself absolutely in love with RPGs like Final Fantasy... yeah, not at all what I expected.

Really? Cause I'm female and I thought the entire series was painfully bad. I've literally read better works written by developmentally-delayed children. However the movies were just laughable. Are vampires really meant to stand around looking like they're about to cry? Is this ever-so-perfect girl actually meant to seem as though she constantly smells something bad, or is desperately confused about what is going on?DemonicKitten said:
On topic: Writing fanfic. I never thought I'd stoop that low.
re: he said, she apologized, etc.
It is by no means a rule of good writing that you have to use constant dialogue identifiers. It depends on context. I'd concede that it is good practice for beginning writers, tho.
Easy example: there are only two characters, they're engaged in a long dialogue, and they have different styles of speech. Thus, it's easy for the reader to tell them apart. No need to bog it down with meaningless "saids". Of course, there's still plenty of reasons to get all flowery with the words outside the quotes (describing action, thought, tone, almost anything you can imagine..) but everything should have a damn *point*. I agree with homeboy that "'I'm sorry' she apologized" (approximately.. I don't remember the exact quote..) is redundant amateurish rubbish.
And before anyone jumps down my throat for my own sloppy "writing" style (abuse and misuse of parentheses, elipses, paragraph structure, you name it) ..I know already, and I don't care. This is an internet forum, not my Great American Novel.
On Topic: I never thought I'd smoke, drink, experiment with drugs, have a kid, buy any console newer than a SNES, drop out of college, or grow a cute lil' potbelly.
On Other Topic: Twilight sounds pretty bad, but I really don't care. Let the kids have their fun.

wow...this wasn't the thread that I thought was gonna be the hidden Twilight flame war page. Good job fuckers. You got me. I just hope that there aren't any dudes here planning on seeing this shit without a chick by your side. Nobody likes teen vampires. Thats why the "LOST" Boys were just that!
Indeed. This is actually quite useful for not only the reader but also the writer. When writing a lenghty conversation, sometimes it becomes tiresome when you have to think of new ways to word their expression. Although, I would advise it to be used when there is more than two people holding a conversation.nohorsetown said:
Twilight isn't terrible. What I dislike about the series is the feeling that most of the characters are flat. Bella seems to only have one personality trait. That being thick as pig shit. The writing lacks a good deal of creative devices which allow a writer to inject life into the writing. When the descriptions are bland and lifeless, it makes for painful reading.
Also redundancy is terrible. Never be superfluous.
I was unaware that the first book was the good one.
I use that term loosely.
Sure they and books built up the foundation of the whole one true love buisness. I was thinking more of blaming romantic comedies for the recent resurgence in the belief in love at first sight, and that there is perfect person out there for you - just waiting at a coffee stand or something for you to show up.lvl9000_woot said:
I most certainly am not perfect, how can I expect someone else to be.
