  1. I thought that's what you had said, until I read this, and then re read what you had said earlier LMAO but just cuz I understood, doesn't mean everyone else will. I'm glad you clarified lol
  2. I have yet to read any of the others she has written. There's another book, I've read, about werewolves. The Silver Wolf by Alice Borchardt. Here's the blurb from Wikipedia: And its one of my favorites. Its one of three,in a series, but I've never read the others. Night of the Wolf and then The Wolf King are the other two, in case you want to look for them, to read. I may do it, so that I can complete the series. I'm probably going to re-read the first one, in case I missed something the first go round. Its stories like that, I'd love to see made into a movie, but at the same time I don't, because I don't want them to ruin the story, or miss the point of certain things. Kinda like the way the missed the point of the ending in Blood and Chocolate, and changed it to suit Hollywood.
  3. The writing style was easy to follow. In all honesty, I think that the book was meant for like 10 and over, because it was such an easy read. I like that it doesn't seem like someone else was writing the book (even in first person, you don't really fall into the story as if it was really written by the character telling the story). With this story, it was easy to fall into Vivian's world, because it did feel like Vivian was actually telling the story. This is just a single book. Here's a list of books by her. (Each one is clickable and leads to the blurb): Alien Secrets published in 1993 Blood and Chocolate published in 1997 Freaks: Alive on the Inside! published in 2005 The Silver Kiss published in 1990 List of short stories: "The Hoppins" in Short Circuit by Donald Gallo (editor) published in 1992 "The Bogeyman" in Night Terrors: Stories of Shadows and Substance by Lois Duncan* (editor) published in 1996 "Summer of Love" in Color of Absence: 12 Stories About Loss and Hope by John Howe (editor) published in 2001 *Lois Duncan is one of my favorite lady authors, for young adults. (I love Ann Rice,too, but that's a different genre)
  4. wow. that's crazy. RIP, dear sir. wow...i can't believe such a figure is gone... Well, I hope that where ever he's at, he's found peace.
  5. I was a bit disappointed that the movie didn't even follow along the same line as the book. Their names were all the same, and the basics were the same (the girl, the creatures), but that's as far as it went. Yes, she did have to chose between a guy or her family... In the end of the book, some bad things happen, she gets shot, and because she's going into shock, she can't fully from into one or the other... In the end, she ends up with the man she's meant to be with all along: the leader of the pack... In the movie, it ended just as Hollywood wanted it to. The girl gets the boy of her dreams, and they drive off into the night. Both make fro a great story. And they really were. I wouldn't say that this was the worst movie adaptation of a book, because well, it was a lose interpretation, and it was a good movie. Had I not read the book first, I wouldn't be so disappointed as I am. i was looking forward to this movie, for many years. And I got so excited when I saw the trailer for the movie (or rather, caught the end of the trailer) The book was written for young adults, about high school KIDS. The movie was written for young adults, about well, young adults. Both were good, but I wanted the scream at the screen because this movie broke my heart. "Never judge a book by its movie" stands strong here, because the movie is so far from the book, that its almost two separate stories. Almost. *sigh* I wonder if anyone who was involved with the writing of this movie, even read the book, or understood why the book ended the way that it did. No matter. I recommended both, though watch the movie first, or your heart will break, like mine did. You can watch the movie here. <--- Clicky
  6. Knowing they don't because your voice alone is a seduction... but someone's always trying to postpone production. What should we do, but bash in their heads...
  7. I wonder why the sky is blue... Because if it turns yellow, I don't know what we will do They dance a merry jig, at the sound of my voice...
  8. meaning that anything that is wrapped in quotes of any kind, do not show up in the emails. Whether it be some one quoting another member, or wrapping quote tags around something in a paragraph..... only the stuff written outside of the [quote][/quote] tags shows up.
  9. Clicky For Article That's nice of them. lol This, I can't believe was allowed to happen: Why the hell would someone do that?!?!?!? But it seems they are gonna fix the issue anyways. What are your thoughts?
  10. I am bumping this thread, cuz I think its cool. I love DIY stuffs.
  11. Wow, I do a search, and this thread pops up, and isn't related, in any way, to what I was looking for. That's so fun, though... Perhaps someone should update this thread lol its so neat to see what people have posted 4 years ago. Its like peeking through the doors of an abandoned museum. lol (one where nothing was removed, but the doors were locked and the key misplaced, and then the property is sold, and the new owners are looking around lol... only in this case, its not new owners, the owner just found that missing key.. er... yeah.. I think that's what I mean... lol)
  12. dude?! you live in Brighton?! I live in Whitmore Lake! (Between Ann Arbor and Brighton!)

    WOW! We should meet up for coffee or something, in the near future lol (Yeah, I'm a lonely dork lol)

  13. Clicky for Article Personally, I wish I had owned a pair, for working in, or something (in a decent color). But the other 95% of me will not be sad if they go away forever. Thoughts?
  14. OH NO!!! that means he loves you more than he loves me, and means to keep them for himself! :-O That's not nice!!!!

  16. Welcome to DGN! Hope all is well. :)

  17. I have my settins so that I get a new email, every single time someone has posted in a topic I'm subscribed to. But.... The emails do no contain quoted paragraphs anymore, like they use to... :( what the heezy yo? so, I'm so lost half the time, when I'm checking my email!!!
  18. also, I think that the current background is more goth than that other one. The other one looks like something that would be used on a gothic escort site.. but that's just me lol
  19. and if you click on the profile name that's under "Most Recent Member" it says that her last post was 11/19/08 17:49:32, and joined: 11/18/08 lol wow
