    The National Novel Writing Month. Starts October 1st, ends October 30th. In the mean time, the participants try to chuck out 50.000 words, i.e. a novel.

    See the panic? I have only the most vaguest of ideas for mine... 'tis supposed to be a historical tale of my own world, historical in the sense that it's set a few thousand years prior to the "main" storyline... Sort of like, say, the story of Turin Turambar in Tolkien's writings. (And yes, equally strange/Morbid at points...)

    2002 v. 2003, who cares? It's all arbitrary anyway, especially after Pope Gregory screwed it up. Ever read Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum"?

    Hey, I have! someone had left a paperback lying around at the wars when I was there for the very first time... helped me to endure the boredom of the first few days.

    I like that book!

    Ok. Good luck with the writing then. Kind of reminds me of the school essays though, just on a much grander scale. My main trouble was getting started, but as soon as I was over that stadium, everything went fine. The story usaully came to me during the writing, and all the endings involved a sudden and violent death to the main character as I got tired of writing... :) Strangely enough, my teacher still liked them though... Hmmm, maybe I should get my act together and write something for Creativity surge...

    Oh, and remember, writing in 1st person saves you from having to care about a multi-thread story! Atleast, thats the approach I would use the first time I was going to write a novel.... :)

    My wife is driving me crazy -- WHAT DOES SHE WANT? She says she wants a divorce. So after deep thought, I say, "if you absolutely, totally, and completely see no hope, then fine, lets just do it now, why wait a year?" She flips on me! Gets angry for me trying to give her what she wants! I also inform her that I have commenced flirting with several girls online (she has a boyfriend with whom she spends tons of time) and she gets all ticked at me! WTF? I was going to go to Wyoming to meet one of the girls, and now I'm not sure if I should go.

    Life would be so much easier with a few BG2 items.

    My eye hasn"t stopped twitching since 2:10. Sure, it makes a conversation starter, but it's driving me insane.

    Sorry to hear about the split Depaara, goin through the same thing myself, but not as bad really. My engagement has just been called off and I'm in depressed mode :(

    Hey Ara, did a guy try to chat you up and then pickpocket you?? What a twat!

    Anyway, I is just be getting in from the pub and be very merry, as opposed to upset about losing the love of my life. Funny how losing something can teach you to appreciate what you have left :)

    He's present in Roman historical writings of that time.

    DePaara... It's called 'Kali rule' here. It was like 'Kali steal someone cow good, someone steal Kali cow bad'. Basically, she's allowed to have a boyfriend, but you aren't allowed to have a girlfriend. Of course, she there's nothing illogical in this for her. Same is about divorce after a year or now. Does she really want it? I doubt. Personally, I believe she'd rather stay married and having a boyfriend. Harsh words on my part, probably I'm being bitter, but I believed I have some right here. I've seen people through similar fortune. Maybe she wants you to fight? Maybe she really thinks she deserves more rights than you. Maybe she doesn't even think. Or maybe she just wants her part of fun in life. Heh, she's being very inconsequent, and for some time she's been so. About the girls... you'll do what you feel is right, I know this. I hope you won't do anything you would later regret doing. I'll pray for you in a while, as I'm going to sleep soon. Have a good day... maybe something good will happen.

    The only reference to jesus in Roman historical texts is as far as I know....none. I think its Tacitus or Sutonius (sp? its late) that makes one reference to a group called the 'cristan's' (I know that spelling is wrong) in stiring trouble in Rome itself, but apart from that there is nothing contemporary with jesus (a very common name at the time) stating he was 'son of god' or even existed. It is most likely that a preacher named jesus existed however and that his message is 'somewhat' left intact within the bible.

    Ahh yes LKD, had that myself early on. When my ex left, she had a guy pretty soon after but as soon as I had a new girl, she'd be all up in my face about it claiming I didn't love my son!

    Women.

    Anyway, funniest thing happened couple days ago, I was walking into town wearing my black greatcost (reportedly it's ex-German Military, not proper buttons though so I can't tell for sure, though there IS a lighter-coloured band around the wrist of it) and some joker leaned out his car window and yelled out "Matrix!". What a joker, the actual inspiration for me to wear it came from The Crow! Some people know nothing
