Re: Off-Topic
Huh, it didn't feel like that to me.
So, if I compare them..
NS: Awesome worldbuilding, seriously! Not so awesome or complex characters, though.
Ward: Both middle-range, the characters are .. good and the story is, too. But in the end it's not some mind-blowing-stuff, whereas NS's Psy/Changeling-world (WORLD, not the characters!) is like viagra to me.
NS: Don't know, where she wants to go with the story, but she's told us that she knows exactly how she wants it to end -> we feel safe
Ward: Don't know if she knows how to end the story, don't know if she was a story arc, don't feel safe about the books, but enjoy them nonetheless.
I think, overall, the main difference is, that Wards book are.. darker. There are major problems. There IS a happy ending, BUT there are still problems. As for the rest, well.. I think you should read them, but you might try out an excerpt or 'buy' them via Tauschticket etc. just to be sure.
.. Did I really compare NS books .. viagra.. gosh, I'm so fucked up.

Re: Off-Topic
Never heard about Tauschticket. Need to check that out.
I hope they do deliver to Austria
There's nothing wrong in comaparing NS books to viagra - both give people joy
Re: Off-Topic
I'm take part at the half-marathon because it's for charity. It's really hard to say no when it's for charity. A couple of friends talked me into it, and stupid person that I am, I agreed. Now I have to train for a half-marathon. I just want to reach the goal somehow. If I have to crawl the last kilometers ( which will be very likely) I don't care. At least I can say I did it.
Re: Off-Topic
Jesus Christ, I'd WALK. That's it. Maybe with a Frappucino and a brownie. Dunno, might even read a book on my WALK! xD We had to run for money every year at school since I was.. 7th or 8th grade (I think the poor guys who're attending school NOW have to run this month, just as we always had to...) Sometimes I just gave them the money so I didn't have to run and when I ran I always made.. hm.. I think 20€. I was one of the people who got the most and I didn't even feel like shit afterwards, bu I'm just such a lazy person.. xD And nowadays I can't run at all. Stupid meds, I'm even out of breath when I go to the balcony xDD (Nah, okay, not thaat bad)
Mom's birthday is tomorrow and I'm so sick, I can't even buy the little things I haven't bought yet. -___-' Such a nice person I am. Go, me!

Re: Off-Topic
I always hated jogging and any other kind of running but since I have to do it now on a regular basis, it's not so bad at all. I'm not a very sportive person but since I noticed that I really improved and that I'm not out of breath after a few meters now, it's really nice sometimes. I also lost some weight, that's nice too. I just hope my motivation keeps up like this.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are sick. I hope it will get better soon.
Re: Off-Topic
Hoping with you!
Did you start the usual way? Like "2 minutes jogging, 1 minute walking, 4 minutes jogging, 1/2 walking, 10 minutes jogging etc." or did you start like.. "30 minutes and no break! NOW!"?
Oh, don't talk about weight loss, fucking new meds, I feel like an elephant! xD And here I had an eating disorder. Stupid doc, could've warned me about that.. Meh! Well, I'm gonna live, soo it's okay.
Might start doing some crunches again, then jogging, then whatever. Jesus, I once kicked ass like Buffy. Well, no, not like Buffy. But like one of the Potentials. Well, no.. but.. um.. Whatever xDD

Re: Off-Topic
My cheerteam cheers at events like marathons (next one´s the Big 25 in the olympic stadium in berlin btw) and I´m always looking at that red-faced-almost-dead people and think: " I´m a lazy a**"
I have lots of respect for those crazy people, so keep on training Serena

Re: Off-Topic
I started training in january, and yes, I started the usual way. I even went to the physician to check if I was okay. I kicked ass too. I went boxing during my teen years... my gosh, I'm talking like I'm an old granny, I'm only 22.
I will! Now that I got into it I'm too ambitious to give up.

Re: Off-Topic
Oh my, you really make me want to start getting physical again! Good luck with your marathon-thing. I'd never make it. 18? Whatever, call my Grams. :]
Re: Off-Topic
I've got some time to train, the marathon is in October. Well, I won't an award but it's not about that anyway. I need to prove that I can do it. To myself and to win a stupid bet. And for the charity of course
Re: Off-Topic
Ugh, marathons. I feel like I should want to do one... but I don't see it happening. I was into soccer/football fanatically in school so I did a fair amount of running. However, I drove the coaches nuts because I was a "lazy runner" - I'd sprint at the last minute. I got the job done but gave the coaches heart attacks at the same time

- Z vomiting up a SHOT to get Dem out of his system - demerol is a pain medication that causes sleepiness. It might not be normal to call it dem, I just get the shots a lot and hear the nurses call it that. And yeah, Z shakes off the effects by throwing up. I even asked a nurse if that was possible and it's not. I was pretty loopy by then so she looked at me like I was crazy.
I guess I can see V bonding with Payne over mutual mommy hatred. I agree with you about Xcor and Manny, especially about Xcor. Was he even a bad guy by the end?? What about Saxton, too? Wrath just lets him live there because he got beaten up by some humans. What?! It is just a way to make it easier for Ward to deal with the Blay/Qhuinn thing.
I did enjoy parts of the book Vishous' and Jane's character growth was awesome. I just miss the quality of her earlier books
Yeah, PoP = Play of Passion

- Ah! Demerol! I thought he had to throw up.. Have to read those parts again, but meh. I know what you mean. It sucks when a reader feels like the author doesn't know what she/he wrote before. Eg. JK Rowling might have confused one door with another, but she always knew what happened in her world, when it happened etc.
Well, he wants to kill Wrath. Don't really get why, though. Don't even understand why he doesn't like the Brotherhood. I think Ward needed a new enemy (because, come on, the Omega is the 'final' enemy and those little Lesser-guys are getting boring) and took this one, because it fit the story. But THIS plot lacks intentions. WHY would he want to kill Wrath? Why doesn't he like the king?
I'm feeling .. weird right now. Dunno why. That sucks. I think I need something to do. Wednesday therapy again. Bah. T.T
Re: Off-Topic
I'm feeling weird too. Sort of melancholic. Dunno why. Maybe it's the weather. It was wonderful springy weather over the weekend. But today, it was dull and grey. I'm not very good at handling bad weather sometimes.
Re: Off-Topic
Melancholic, too. But I'm feeling melancholic all the time (I mean, that's what major depressions do to you, after all :'D). Might be the weather, true. Although I like the rain much more than the 32°C. Hmm.. :')
Re: Off-Topic
Might be that I was melancholic before and the weather just made it worse. Today, it's sunny again and I feel much better. After the long, cold winter I need my share of Vitamin D. I don't particularly need 32°C either, only when I'm free to go swimming.
Re: Off-Topic
Sarah18, sorry about your father. Mine didn't live with us at all.. well not since I was a couple of months old at least and he does speak German, but still.. Meh. Silence has been our childhood, yay. Sascha got competition..
Re: Off-Topic
If a silent childhood means to end up with a hottie, I´m totally happy with my life
But my mother means everything to me... Tattoed her on my ankle, now my foot has a reason for existing... Feet are my less favorite part of the human body

Re: Off-Topic
Yes, very. We were of those families where everything worked out fine. Well, we still are. The saying is true in a sense, time can mend many wounds. Not fully, but they do get better.
I also don't like my own feet. They look funny.

Re: Off-Topic
So sorry for you Serena... Afraid that my grandparents leave some time soon... Lose them or one of them... Don´t know how to go on without them, they always make me smile when I´m down
Drama, drama- let´s talk about sacrifices xD We need blood, right? Never donated mine, so it´s still innocent

Re: Off-Topic
Feet. I hate feet. I do like the scenes in the book, because they are funny, but seriously, feet? And wtf, your's look "funny"? xD
Sarah, cannot agree more with you. Okay, no, I'd like to have everything. A DAD, my mommy and a hot guy, but the latter two are okay, too. Till now the only thing I got were major depressions and an eating disorder, but hey, things can change.. Hottie, where are you? xD
My mom's everything to me, too. Her birthday was on Tuesday.
Oh That's sad. My family is.. well, we have problems. My mom and me, were like best friends. But the rest? Not so much. In the end they don't matter and everything works out just fine except that I have those issues and my mom got um, what's it called? not cancer, in German it's Hirntumore. Well, it's not like it's easy, but we love eachother and I won't ask for more right now
But if you love someone and it really works, I can only imagine the pain
Re: Off-Topic
That's the one thing you learn from such experiences: That you have the strength to survive such losses and go on.
Now, when something bad happens, I know I can live through it and I won't let me wear down.
