    *cough* Okay, being sick is never good.

    Especially when one has many pages of reading to do and is working on stuff for the play she is in. Where's the tea?? Or maybe some hot chocolate?

    Don't know what to do... TV, Book, Videogame, guitar, or drinking soda while doing all of the above?

    Other than that they can't spell, the second person is used extensively in the narration of D&D CPRGs and those 'Choose Your Own Path' and 'Fighting Fantasy' style books where you have to flip to various different parts of the book depending on your decisions.

    @Lai I'm just about to make some hoping it will help get to sleep before I get up in 4 hours; do you want marshmallows ? And is Belgian drinking chocolate ok for you ?

    EDIT: @HB so I'm tired, sue me :D That's a small percentage and other than that it is very rare to see the second person narrative used (and difficult as well)

    EDIT2: /me hands Lai nice big mug of steaming chocolate; you'll have to add your own cream I don't eat it :)

    I think I'm going to try to lay off the diet pop for a while. I'm a little to dependant upon it.

    yay thanks! I love Chocolates!

    Well Back to BG2 I think

    So you know my Kensai / Thief just got his Kensai abilities... I forgot how awsome he could be! I mean for 13 levels he was just a thief with pretty awome hit-points, now he's a killing machine! Woot!

    Here is not the best place to hold such a dialogue. Mayhaps you could PM about it, even though I am nay that good in BG2 lore. Or you could search the boards in the Baldur's Gate 2 forum, there surely you will find the knowledge you seek.

    Did you know that I drank two full glasses of water and one of milk today? How's is that interresting? You tell me!

    It seems my Blog is quite popular, and my skills as a writter has become such in my circle of friend, that they praise my quill to other people! Now these fine person ask me to write for them. A bliss or a curse? Anyway my ego just evolved.
    :) :D

    Hehe, Ofelix, I just read this from the previous RBP, and it made me laugh for a little while:

    I just finished the Thomas Crown Affair (the one with Pierce Brosnan), and boy, is it good! I was going to watch the original, but my dad said it wasn't as good. Next time I'll go for the original... something I noticed: The music when Pierce and Rene are shoping in NY is the same as the intro music in the original, just with a saxophone instead... cool :D

    What is the Thomas Crown affair? And why is the ''s'' in wonders is between [] ?

    Is this to say you disregard my writting ability? Aye I'll give you that my english skills are nowhere as good as my french one. ;) Eh who said I was writting in english for these fine people anyway? :cool: :D

    And if it's about the AC orange thing... well err... Ofelix is just strange m'okay?

    PS: Sh** it's my 4th apparition on this page :eek:

    PS2: pheeww :sleep: off to bed I am! Soo sleepy is this Ofelix

    The Thomas Crown Affair is a movie about a painting heist (in this version, at least), and it is done very cleverly. This is definately a move worth watching, because it'll make you think, and it is quite entertaining. Clever is how I would describe it.

    And I put the 's' in because you didn't in the original, so I was just doing a little editing to make more, you know, well, you know. :p Not insulting the writer in any way, shape, or form.

    ;)

    I hate it when at first I write the correct solution and then I change it and it turns out to be wrong.

    I have to learn to stick to my first idea, damnit.

    Well, no dreams of ASPers byut I did have a dream in which was much fantasy-ish happenings in strange places (I am sure that one guy was Danilo Thann and another was Artremis Entreri....) but beyond that, I also had Neil Gaiman ask me out in the dream.

    I have a weird brain :D :D :D
