Off topic topic (Page 3 of 6)

I had heard taking ginger will help for plane sickness. But I didn't try it for car sickness. I've already narrowed down the list of things that do it to me. Orange juice being the main one. Every time I've ever drank orange juice before or during a trip I've thrown up. Eggs make me throw up in the car too. Fresh air helps me a lot though. And for some reason reading in the car doesn't bother me much unless we're doing a lot of turning and hills. And a few other things bother me. If I'm in a big vehicle it's not too bad. Like a van or bus. But if it's a littlier car and things are packed in I get big clausthrophobia and carsickness. Which is odd cause little spaces never bother me anywhere else.

hehe, I don't think this is the hate thread. It's the Off-Topic thread.

Anyway, I'll have to agree with you that I hate carsickness as well.

It's ok and understandable. I do the same thing from time to time. And when I'm tired sometimes not even I understand myself.

There is no way for me to recieve the cookie, so answering is pointless.
I know where your quote is from though...;)  Ever read his "Hop-Frog"?  That's good stuff. 
(For those that haven't, it involves an insane drunk dwarf and flaming orang-utangs hanging from a chandelier...)

Black Cat has always seemed like a mix of "Cask of Amontillado" and "The Tell-Tale Heart" to me...good story though, especially with the cat burning into the floor and...*gasp*...can't spoil for people who don't read Poe, but should. 

If that's not a fanfiction and you don't have it copyrighted I wouldn't post it for the public to see unless you want it stolen.

WELL, I am a mite tired! Today was my first day at my new job(worked 4 hours w/out sitting down *sigh*), as well as the day that I helped cater to a Young Life event... All in all, I didn't get to sit down in 8 hours... My poor back, feet, knees, jaw, head, etc, etc.

I'm so VERY glad that you, Jacsveus, revived this thread!! We shall impute new energy to it!!

I have, and it's seriously disturbing.  And Black Cat is just sick.  Have you read the Never Bet Your Head story?  Eww.  By the way, there was a Cthulu discussion going on in the names section and I thought I'd ask just how many people are into it.  I was reading them all in chronological order but then I got stuck on Mountains of Madness, and, well, you know how it goes.

Jacsveus, if you're serious about writing, the publishers won't want to take anything that's already been published, which includes just posting it on a website.  So if that's ever going to be a goal of yours, you need to get it offline and destroy the evidence.  (Seriously, I read it in a publishing book).

Poe and Lovecraft are my two favorite authers. My favorite stories by them would hve to be the Masque of Red Death (Poe), and the Dunwich Horror (Lovecraft). Unforyunatly, I do not have many Cthulu Mythos tales. I know what you man about the Black Cat. I do not mind humans in pain as much, but I cannot stand non-human animals in pain (though Black Cat and Hop-Frog were still great stories). I recently accquired a book of poetry of Poe. I have read the Raven and Anebell Lee a myriad of times. I love the line "'Prophet,' said I 'Thing of evil. Prophet still, if bird or devil.'"

That was agreat poem. Plus it has mimes gettng eaten in the play. The description of the worm is remeniscent of the "Mongolian Death Worm."

Thanks. I was in the middle of watching the third season of Digimon on my computer when I decided to start drawing again. After drawing a few pictures I wanted to try it on the computer. So I took a screenshot, traced it, and colored/shaded it in Photoshop according to what the original looked like. Though it was slightly difficult since I had to make it about 500% bigger to be a reasonable size...

Definitely Boba Fett. Though I'm not entirely sure why... Perhaps because he is the original and didn't get his head chopped off by a Jedi.

U should definitely like Boba because he has a more interesting history than Jango. He also had a LONGER history than Jango because a jedi didnt lop of his noggin like Jango. Also, Boba is just plain old better than Jango. No, I dont play Runescape or Maplestory.
