Helloo twifties.

How do you edit your novel profile on TWFT? I can't find the edit button...

MOD NOTE: Not sure what happened to volume 1 and why there wasn't a link in this post. Volume 2 is here.

Volume 3 is here.

Volume 4: here

Don't know, don't have MSN.

Anybody notice this thread is now in the thousands? When do they get closed and a new thread started? Just curious... I need to know when the move is so I can get in on it. Lol.

I don't know, Dragon. It depends when a mod gets round to it, I guess.

ETA: OMG at the kids on Glee singing Rehab. O.o

ETA2: I gotta go now.

Hmm.... I think the first TWFT thread was in the 1500's, but the last one wasn't that long. Just depends on whenever Sage feels like getting us a new one.

Where are my DW friends? I'm confused... I just saw a preview for Almost People that it was airing June 4th. But BBC's website clearly says it's airing May 28th. Does that mean it's going to air on June 4th in America and May 28th in Britain? I don't think I can wait an extra week...

I keep waiting for a new TWFT thread to pop up.
Oh homework, you will be the death of me.

ETA- I just looked on the DW thread. *silently cries to self* Not fair BBC America, not fair.

I am back.

I finished watching the pilot episode of Glee earlier, and I really did enjoy it, actually.

Hi there, was watching 'History Boys' last night and something just reminded me of it... Not the ending I expected, but fitting.

Must stuff something in my mouth for 'lunch' and be off.

*Grins*

Back for just a moment, looking up interest journals that are illustraded on Barnes and Noble. Kind of collect them as a hobby(write in them too ). I have found some really cool ones at discount stores over the years and was checking to see if any newer versions came out.

Some of them are kind of rare, *laughs*, but I already wrote in those so they aren't worth anything now.

It is amazing. It suits you.

Also, I saw the first DVD volume of Glee (Season 1) in the shop today when we went food shopping. I didn't buy it because I want the complete series and when I finish that the whole of the second series on DVD. Does anyone know when it should be out? If I can't find them in the shops, I'm going to buy them on Amazon, or I might buy them on there if I hit a big target (10K, 20K etc) and I feel like it.

ETA: I have gone past the 6K mark, so now I'm going to bed, and am going to (hopefully) reward myself when I go shopping tomorrow. 'Night, guys.

The whole series 1 is out, I got it in September. Season 2? The whole thing probably won't be out in one package until September. But the first half is on DVD and the second half should be soon.
