I agree, Cumbersmaug is going to be the highlight of my year ;)

Also, new thread! It's so shiny. Cookies for everyone!

WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2013.

I WILL DIE.

I'm hoping he'll appear in one of Peter Jackson's videos...

Nice. I was doing that type of research quite recently. I liked researching Aum Shinrikyo. :)

Wow, a new thread! :)

It's been a little while guys. How has everyone been?

I just did a job interview today and I am suppose to be getting a call later on today to see if I got the job or not. It's my first full time job, which I am kind of nervous because I am also a full-time college student and just got accepted into the bachelor program of my dreams.

So cross your fingers for me!

I had nine unsuccessful job interviews over the last few months, so I hope you hear better news than I did. :tongue

Thanks, Para. I know what you mean about the job interviews. I've been to a few since my last job I had to quit in 2010 and they haven't turned out very well. This economy is seriously a pain in the ass. It's either you're "overqualified" or "under qualified" or "the other candidate had more experience."

The interviewer interviewed me and another girl. So it's been me and her, I guess.

Thanks, Lisa! e.l!

afternoon everyone! Hows it going?

I'm going to try to get as much writing done before my mom wants to go out.

Whoa. Am I wrong, or did the end of The Two Towers movie leave out the fact Frodo was drugged and Sam thought he was dead?

Also wondering if I should watch the first part of the next movie to get into the book....

Some things get shifted around between the three books and the three movies, from what i heard.

Go researching! Personally i have a love hate relationship with researching. One one hand i can finish research papers quickly and easily because i'm so used to doing speedy research for book stuff. On the other hand its still a pain in the ass. Plus, with the research topics i look up... well i'm pretty sure i'm on some sort of government watch list. What normal 21 year old looks up how to build bombs, make cyanide, pick locks, hotwire cars, quickest way to kill a person, most painful way to kill a person, the exact location of the femoral artery, ect... (and those are only my most resent searches.)

Oh man, I heard that line about the more experienced candidate so many times. I even got edged out for an internship dealing with contracts at a literary agency. I'm a publishing postgraduate with a law degree with a specialism in intellectual property! Who could you possibly get with more experience for an internship?

I didn't even not get paid minimum wage, because they didn't even hire me as an intern! :tongue

Yay! I've done that too before! Fun stuff! For the story concept idea i've been sitting on for a few months CWII I've been looking into the best kind of guerrilla warfare methods and have looked alot into the IRA and there methods. Also some on ninjas... when i start researching i cant stop. I end up on topics sooooo far off from my original google search

Okay.

I guess I'll start the next one.

Good idea! God how i love those movies, now you make me want to watch them again!

Once for a college class i had to write a paper comparing a book we were reading in class to a more modern movie. I picked how similar Gullivers Travels were to the the Lord of the Ring movies! Why? SO i had an excuse to watch all three movies for "homework"
