World X3 Off-Topic Thread IV

[Spidermanfan]

Niceee. I wish I had a summer home.

I'm so proud of myself. Even if it is fan fiction. I've gotten 10 pages into a so far really good (IMO tooting my own horn of course), reboot script for Spider-Man.

I have tried to write scripts for movies, but they always come out as 30 page television eps.

Gaaaaah! Why can't my students learn how to write properly!!!! I hate grading papers!

 

[squeekness]

I think there's a certain talent for writing. Either ya have it or ya don't. That and you have to actually care about grammar and spelling.

I haven't watched a movie in, oh, nearly three weeks. Is that normal?

 

[squeekness]

It wouldn't be for me. I watch at least four every weekend.

 

[LEX]

While that may seem the norm for you, for me now, it is somewhat of a chore, as odd as that sounds. I still have a bunch of DVDs I bought, like, five months ago that I haven't watched yet. The last movie I saw wasn't even by choice, but in class. Perhaps my not-so-recently renewed love for reading has made me impatient for how quickly movies end, paradoxically as that sounds.

You MISSSESED the auction!!

I can sell you an Elektra watch??

 

[squeekness]

I'd buy it if it was a Gambit one.

 

[union_jak]

I'm never selling on ebay again. Not since they've started taking 10% on top of the usual selling fees

 

[squeekness]

Wow, 10% seems like a lot. Not quite fair.

 

[Iceman]

Ebay keep 10% of the sale price? Wow.

What's the usual selling fee?

 

[union_jak]

The selling fee depends on what the item is, I think. Occasionally they have free-listings days, but I think the fee is generally around £1.50-3. Then of course you have to pay Paypal for their services.

 

[Iceman]

So this new 10% fee is a huge change! Surely they will lose business over this?

 

[squeekness]

I would imagine so, especially over the small price items. If your profit margin is already so low, why would you bother to list then?

 

[union_jak]

I had actually noticed a lot less auctions recently. The bidding aspect has been replaced with 'Buy It Now' for most auctions, I guess the sellers include a set figure to account for the 10% now.

 

[Kira]

i'm keeping this thread alive out of spite.

I've missed you, Kira. You remind me of good times.

 

[Kira]

what happened to kevin. i miss him the most.

 

[union_jak]

It's very funny you mention him lol

He's doing very well indeed. You'll hear from him sooner or later, I'm sure of it!

 

[newwaveboy87]

I miss TKing the mostest. (I am perfectly aware that it's not a real word, thank you.)

Anyway, I feel like I should update on my life...
I'm moving back in with my step-dad for a few months. Mostly so I can save money while getting my teaching certification. That's right, I'm going to become a teacher. Middle or high school level.

What else? I've hit the two year mark with Jeremiah. Our sex life is severely lacking. I blame him.

I'm doing (what feels like) practically nothing but promotional stuff at work nowadays. I love it. If I could do nothing but that...oh, that would just be heavenly.

I tried to delete my myspace, but the screen kept locking up every time I tried. I think it's some kind of block. Or a bad internet connection. I blame myspace. No one goes there anymore, and Tom's ego needs a good massaging still. (We never have been or ever will be friends Tom! )

I don't know what else to say. I haven't been around here for so long that my User CP was empty of posted threads. So they either all died out, or I deleted them some time ago and totally forgot about it. Who knows.

I think that's roughly all of the big/important stuff. Oh, well, what I can remember anyway.
