Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is true. I cannot watch PotP when I'm angry with my mom if the world wants to stay fairly undamaged. You think I already have fits when my mom and I get into fight. If I try to watch PotP in the middle of one of these fits...no. I'd go on a compulsive rampage of some sort.

*Goes ******** nuts*

DUDE!

LETHEO IS MY SON!!!

*Ahem*

Yeah, as it stands currently, there are two authors who seem to have a completely uncanny ability to write things that I can completely like, identify with, and agree with. One is Chris Wooding, and the other is Clive Barker.

And about Letheo...that's a really weird story.

!SPOILER! Okay, so I had this character a while back, 'round in '01-03. I created him as this were-lizardperson, with a sweet, but slightly cowardly and unstable personality, who was terribly uncomfortable about his werelizardness and who worked for the main character in the story's enemy, but eventually came around to help her, but still acted as though he had loyalties toward her enemy. !ENDSPOILER!

Problem was, as the story became this huge deal that I became just about obsessed with, I, to my great dismay, found that this character didn't work very well for the story as he was. I was in denial of it for a while, but all the while I kept thinking "I wish somebody would come up with a similar character so that the idea won't go to waste and I can rest easy."

Around the time I started having these thoughts, an old friend of mine had discovered the first Abarat book, roughly when it first came out. I was vaguely intrigued for some reason, and I was willing to give almost any book a shot to see if it had a similar character to mine, even be the other werewolf or something of the like. Because, who even thinks of werelizards?

I read the first Abarat, and, while I thought it was pretty cool, it didn't really stay with me upon the first reading (being basically a setup for the rest of the story).

So I forgot about it a while, until I ended up noticing something about a book signing with Clive Barker and the first ever public viewing of his Abarat art. To this day I have no idea what compelled me to do it, but I convinced my mom to let me go to it. Not like he was anyone special at the time.

Few days later, I see the Abarat book in the bookstore, and must have it. (Weirdly enough, this was the only store I could find that held PotP later, and also where the girl who introduced me to the Abarat series got the second book too.) Somehow, god knows how, I convince my mom to buy it, and on the way home, the picture of Letheo on the cover catches my eye, and without knowing anyhthing about him, I think "I like him."

When I get home, I start reading, and this time, get really hooked. And then the Letheo part comes. I thought I liked it then. Now I'm literally flipping out: Screaming, jumping up and down, probably would have been doing handsprings if I had room.

He. Is. The. Carbon. Copy. Of. My Character. Same personality, same condition...only real difference is that he's written by Clive Barker.

So when I go to the book signing, I cannot resist mentioning what an awesome character he is.

Winslow might be my fictional lover, but Letheo is my fictional son.

And if he ends up dying somewhere along the line, god help the world.

Did you hear Disney has a movie in the works? If they mess up his character.... scream

And so much for my Letheo rant. I need help.

Hope it wasn't busy in a bad way.

Yay! I can have both!

But...but smooth word flowing is good! gonk

rofl Everybody seems fairly disconcerted by my avatar and sig. And my flowers and sunshine and pink hair will PWN your a** someday, young lady! Just wait!

Hehe. Luckilly I know quite a few Canadians, so I got it.

Oh, but I am.

Ohman, I feel the exact same way right now. Sleep deprevation!

Wow. What grade are you in?

I'm a senior. Damn SATs. stressed

LETHEO! heart crying blaugh

I just had to say the Carrion/Motley fight at the end of Days of Magic, Nights of War made me weepy. Nasty Stitchlings...ewww.

Film Studies (such as History and Theory)
Very fun!
Vieo Gaming would be fun to go into. I heard UCF has a program in that.
I heard Mr. Barker is going to kill off Pinhead. I wonder when and how?
Le sigh.

*walks into the thread and lays down* Sleepy again.

Thoorn! I missed you! It's been so long...I hope you didn't think I abwandoned you!

How are things?

*tries to hold it back but can't any longer* Guess who got PotO tickets?!!! *jumps up and down with giddy excitement* rofl WOOOO!

I would type more, but I had quite a long day, during which I was sleepy the whole time. And I'm possibly going to get a tattoo with one of my friends, but I can't decide which one....So I've been spending hours trying to decide. And no, I'm not going to get a picture of Winslow xd

Sorry I've been away for so long...again. I'll try to come on here more oft--*falls asleep*



Yes, you may.

Smooth word flowing is indeed favourable.

*sings* Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows *starts humming because she doesn't know all the words*

Yay for Canadian-ness!

It's alright. It happens to us all ^^

I'm glad that things are good. 3nodding

Hah! How can you of all people not be a Winslow phangirl? Your own site is against you, eh?

Thank you ^___^

Coffee? Thank you! I take mine black with two sugars. =D

Yes. It actually is. Quite an old song, too, I believe.

Aww, poor Thorn, not getting to go to Winslowpalooza *cough* --I mean Phantompalooza.

Undercover reasons? *starts humming the Mission Impossible theme* I didn't know you were a secret agent.

*tries to think of a PotP-ish topic that hasn't already been discussed on this thread or the PotP thread*
