It does make getting the voice right for historical fiction very difficult. Not only do I not speak French at all, but any reference films I could turn to all have people speaking with English accents!

Also, lunch is good, Zoom.

My only problem with writing French accents is that I sometimes slip into Quebec french or make the accent too strong.

Hey, sorry I haven't been on in a while. Was watching Twilight. Nom Nom Robert Pattinson.
Anyway, I got this amazing new tidbit to add to my story. hehe
I dont like the ending of Twilight, so I've come to my room, missing the last 20 mins.

Hahaha

Don't you just hate it when your friends read gossip sites/magazines and believe stuff that's written about a certain celebrity, and you're like "Well i know that's not true since the actor said so." and not just by some random gossip tree that was made up. It's like... will people really believe everything they read? Clearly, yes.

French... from Quebec.

He was fired, or at least, let go, however you wanna phrase it. He's not in the next seasons. A couple of the better cast members have also moved on. That's what i've heard. If it's not true, that's fine by me. To be honest, I don't really care, but that's not what I was refering to. So... yeah.. anyway

Just because of the Twilight-based conversation, I feel inclined to post this.

Kurt leaving Glee is music to my ears.

He's the worst character, I can't stand him.

Ughh yeah. I hate making characters meet. @_@; I never know how to do it in non-awkwrad, non-cliche ways. >_>;

I feel like I"m the only person here who doesn't watch Glee or Doctor Who. o.o; But I don't watch TV. xD
