^ In all honesty, I kinda just hope it doesn't happen because I'm just scared of what the outcome would be like. :| Also, in your Music of 2012 topic, you and Mike* forgot about their would-be hit singles "Mother Nature's Son's Son" and "A Day In The Life Of Beatle's Kid". ![]()
(I will never be funny.)
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of any models that closely resemble Astrid Berges-Frisbey? She's ideal for this character for the RPG that I'm doing, but, as would be the case, she's already being used, so I was wondering if anyone could think of anybody that kinda looks like her that I could use.Thanks so much in advance! ![]()

Happy late Easter baby ![]()
how do you usually spend these holidays?

^ Happy Late Easter to you too, Jennks!
I usually spend it with my dad and he would make LOADS of Italian food even though it would usually just be a few of us and we'd all sort of hang out and play cards or watch a movie or whatever and it would be fun. This year I spent it with my mom and her side of the family and it wasn't terrible but all my cousins on that side are like at least 7 years younger than me, so I spent most of the day reading my book or online, which isn't bad either. The food was actually pretty good, but it was nothing compared to my dad's cooking. ![]()
Also, thanks for the great recommendations guys! I still haven't made a definitive decision for who I will use, so more recommendations are still welcome. ![]()
What's the RPG?

^ It's a Harry Potter RPG set at Hogwarts during the Marauder's Era (~1970s), and while I'm not one of the die-hard "The magic never dies" Harry Potter fanatics, I still enjoy doing the RPGs because it helps me to work on my writing and graphic making in certain situations and allows me to be more creative than I get to be at school.
The character's still basically a WIP, but what I can tell you for now is that she's a 5th year Ravenclaw pureblood, but she doesn't hold the same prejudices against muggle-born wizards that most purebloods do. (I see this in a lot of my RPG characters; maybe it's just me.) Oh, also she has a bit of a rebellious side and she tends to be a loner because of her awkward personality and how she feels slighty superior to the rest of her classmates. (Yeah, so she's also basically a bit of a bitch.)
Like I said, the character's still a work in progress, but whenever I work on it, I would ALWAYS imagine Astrid and it would work so perfectly! I was so tight when I found out she was already taken...

So your parents are separated? Mine are divorcing actually now.
At least you rested a little
the one spent at your dads´ place seems really great, I can see why you enjoy it so much ![]()

Forgive my ignorance, but what sort of context do you play this game in? And how do the graphics fit in?

^ You take a look at the site I use right here. You can't really see a lot if you're not a member, but basically you come up with an assortment of characters that fit into the setting of the RPG, interact with other characters that other people make up and write stories about events and interactions. I was pretty stupid to how the whole thing worked when I first started and nobody really wanted to talk to me, but eventually I got the hang of it and it's actually pretty interesting. Like I said, it gives you an opportunity to be creative that you wouldn't normally get elsewhere.
As for graphics, for every story you make you also make a graphic to go along with it. The graphics don't have to be complex, but they usually include all the characters in the story. For most people it just serves as an inspiration for writing. Some people aren't great a making graphics, so they ask other members to make graphics for them. I do that sometimes, but you should see the stuff that other people make on there. There amazing!

Are you a fan of the current Bones storyline with them having a child
? I haven't seen any of it, but was just curious.

^ Actually, I love it! This season has been far better than the past few overall (If you ask me, the seasons have kinda been going downhill since the end of season three) and the dynamic of Booth and Brennan's relationship is better than ever. I will say that I feel that they're kind of lacking in the storylines of the other characters of the show, like Sweets has been getting barely any screen time unless it regards his and Booth's "bromance" and Hodgins and Angela's relationship has kind of just become a thing on the side, but I always sort of found that with this show.
But, none the less, I've gone on a bit of a tangent now, but really do love this season so far and that whole storyline! ![]()

Well, I guess I need to catch up to it then ![]()
. I just kindof hate that they advertised the baby thing on a commercial, but I guess commercials being spoilers just show how far behind you are I suppose

Hey Baby, what do you think about pottermore?

^ I going to be completely honest, I kinda think it sucks. ![]()
Pretty blunt but true. I was one of those uber Potterheads who stayed up all night waiting to answer the early registration question (I, also, just so happened to probably get the easiest early registration question. "How many wizards participated in the Tri-Wizard Tournament the year Harry did? Multiply that number by 7." Kind of a joke of an early registration question if you ask me, but anyway...
) Anyway I was kinda disappointed when I finally was able to log-on only to find out that the servers for the website were horrible and were constantly crashing, the website and the adventure within the website itself were confusing and kind of difficult to navigate, and, while I was under the impression that, on Pottermore, I would have the opportunity to attend classes, interact with other students at Hogwarts and participate in spell fights, you can hardly do any of that! What you can do though, is spend half your money on ingredients for a potion and then wait 17 hours for it to brew. WHAT FUN!
Like I said, perhaps the website wasn't actually that horrible, but it was just a lot of hype for a lot of disappointment. Needless to say, I haven't really been on there much since I registered. ![]()
Anyway, how have you been lately, Jennks? Hope all is well! ![]()
I dunno if The Avengers is up your alley or not, but you may or may not get a kick out of this <_<

Who's the girl in your avatar by the way?

^ The Avengers are right up my alley and that picture is
Though, I do see Iron Man as more of Paul person myself...
And the model is Mona Johannesson. ![]()

Mona is a princess ![]()

I´ve logged on some days ago and agree on the potions - too much time
plus it´s quite muddy, it takes time until you realize what means what and what do you have to do. But many other things improved - it seems so - since you left
but they still have only the first book done, people are waiting for the second.
What do you, as a HP fan, recommend to me, as another HP fan? ![]()
and thanks for asking, I´m fine - although up and down all the time, it seems I´m still recovering from the work insanity that took several months. My head is dealing with many things, in two months I will have my car paid off and I´m thinking about actually moving to another place once I have one loan paid. BUT my fl is unemployed and I can´t make it alone SO I need to wait till he finds work. Plus some boring family troubles, as always.
How about you?

Hey nice to see ya back around! ![]()

Eh, maybe I'll give it another chance, if I can drag myself away from Neopets for a long enough time to log into Pottermore.
Needless to say, I guess the only really good thing I got out of Pottermore was assurance of Ravenclaw-ness. ![]()
And as far as recommendations go, I'd kind of recommend moving on. As weird as that sounds, I have a friend of mine who absolutely refuses to read any other series for the rest of his life because "Harry Potter had such a profound influence on his life and no other series could nearly touch his spirit as much as that one did." (Please, note that I'm paraphrasing here, but you get the idea.) I find that completely ridiculous and, although Harry Potter will always hold a special place in my heart, it's always good to explore new things. Have you read/heard of the A Song of Fire and Ice series by George R.R. Martin? It's the series from which that TV that everyone (including myself) is raving about, Game of Thrones. It's an excellent, but sometimes disturbing, read so I totally recommend it. Just an FYI though, each book is about 900-1300 pages long, so plan on basically reading them for the rest of your life
. (I've been reading the first one for like 2 months now.
)
And glad to hear your doing so well. I totally understand about the whole insanity from everything, but just give it time and I'm sure everything will fall into place and you'll be able to move and what not.
Anyway, I'm doing fine, just very busy. But thankfully classes are slowly coming to end and now I have more time to be on BZ and catch up on my TV shows. ![]()
& @katchitup: It's great to be back around! How have you been, sweetie?
