Re: Disney Discussion #3
I think honestly, the biggest thing that fuels Frollo caring for Quasimodo is a mix of guilt and self righteousness. A large part of the character is driven to be seen as a righteous man, and yet he acts on much darker urges. We see this in the scene "Hellfire" where he blames Esmeralda for the fact...

Re: Book Review-The Face on the Milk Carton
If you ever want to make this a book club in the family, I wouldn't mind reading this with you. I actually read the first and I think the second novel in the series a few years ago, but it also left me quiet unsettled. But when I went on to look, it's actually 5 book series, which feels fairly daunt...

Re: What Classes Do You Want To See Happen This Year Coming Up?
Maybe I've just missed it, but I wouldn't mind a class on the animagus process or maybe talking about famous shapeshifters in mythology and folklore. I've been off and on about finding the topic of shapeshifters fascinating and I've been having a low-key fascination with selkies for the last year or...

Re: Disney Discussion #2
Well, let's look at Merryweather's personality a bit. She's a bit more feisty than her two fellow fairies, and she seems pretty quick to argue. She's also the first to want to grab the wands on Aurora's 16th birthday. She also took out one of Maleficient's goons before he could warn her of their com...

Re: Do you play a sport?
Hahaha...I don't do sports...like at all. Actually, I joke. I don't do sports now, and I've never considered myself a sporty person, but there was this one PE teacher when I was in elementary school who had at least to me, an innovative idea. For each little block of time (I can't remember if it was...

Re: Disney Discussion #1
I feel like my three wishes would be pretty basic. My first wish would be to be a millionaire WITHOUT anyone knowing. I don't want to live a lavish life, but I would love to not have to worry about money in the first place. Thus the secrecy. I would find a good accountant, have them help me get up s...

Re: Naming Characters
It depends, but I typically use a name generator to come up with names. But even with that, I seldom take a name and just paste it. I'll usually take the last name from one and the first name from another choice. And usually I'll adjust the spelling to something that's easy for me to remember. But I...

Re: SIMS 5
I have been playing Sims since they were first coming out. (Yep, I remember Sims 1, though not super well!) So I'm used to jumping to the next game as soon it comes out, but I don't think I will this time. To be fair, there's only rumors and speculations about Sims 5, and so my opinion could change....

Blake, I just wanted to comment that reading your post actually made me remember how I felt when I used to do beading and jewelry making. So thanks for making me remember that time in my life.

Re: Lesson Note Taking
I’ve taken notes in real life classes, but I usually have the homework and the assignment open in separate tabs so I can review. What my HOL notebook has the most of is tryping to figure out the unscramble puzzles. Or if I’m doing an essay assignment, I might write down notes of my thoughts while I’...

Re: Things your pets do
Our newest resident in my household, Kemi the cat, is obsessed with getting belly rubs. But only on the rugs in the houses. She’ll speed through the room or the house until she reaches the rug, and flip over and meows like crazy. Actually, she’s quite a talky cat but I find it mostly adorable. Unles...
