Important - Please Read (8 Viewers)

[goldendawn]

Lynn does like some speculative fiction - Sherri S. Temper's "Sideshow" being a good example (Lynn regrets bringing up Temper so often but it is the most "deep" fantasy book she likes, as Eddings is more entertaining than anything else), but figures that it depends on her mood. If she feels like deconstructing - no, analysing - a text, she will and can, but if she simply wants to read, well then, Lynn wants to READ. If not a spifflingly good fantasty novel, then a good historical drama like Meredith Riley or "Witch of Colonge".

Marcus understands where Lynn is coming from.

Marcus thanks Justin for the link. He thinks that this is a pretty funky avatar.

Justin gives the thumbs up and says "No worries."

 

[goldendawn]

Marcus wonders if Justin's sign-post avatar has a hidden meaning or if Justin is just being absurd.

Marcus thanks Justin for the link. He thinks that this is a pretty funky avatar.

Amber agrees, and wishes her avatar was even half as good. However it is only a pic of herself, which probably doesn't rate all that highly on the cool-avatar scale, as she has only ever recieved one rep point for it hehehe

Marcus wonders if Justin's sign-post avatar has a hidden meaning or if Justin is just being absurd.

Justin states that he took that photo himself and was quite proud of it. It has no meaning, but thinks it was a particularly good shot. He occasionally switches it with the photo he took of a can of Diet Coke or one he took of himself pulling a stupid face.

He is pretty sure the Diet Coke one can be found in his profile.

Marcus thinks that Amber's pic is a nice pic , and that she shouldn't feel that it isn't cool. Marcus thinks his avatar is pretty cool, except that people mistake him for a girl.

Justin thanks Lynn for her kind words, and wonders which uni Lynn is planning on attending next year (if any).

Justin comments that Tennille has had a number of comments about her avatar, most of them coming in the form of rep points.

Lynn has her heart set on a Bachelor of Creative Arts at Macquarie University. She is not sure whether to major in Creative Writing or Drama and Performing Arts. Lynn would have liked to do Dance as her major but that would have required much transfer and training in UNSW for first two years, which Lynn feels is just too fiddly.

Lynn likes to write, however particularly in moments such as now, she is hit with reality that she would never, and could never, write incredibly deep and meaningful novels - her style is much more Jeanette Winterson (who she loves).

Lynn is equally wary of majoring in Drama and Peforming Arts. Lynn has been told many times by amatuer actors that she should do drama (as Lynn has very strong stage presence and personality), but has been told once by actor-to-the-bone friend (who she respects and trusts highly to tell the truth) that she is not a natural actor, which Lynn actually agrees with (Acting is very internal, Lynn feels, not all that suited to an extrovert such as herself). Lynn thinks she has capacity to learn drama on the go but does not feel that it is truly her thing - she vastly prefers dance and singing.

Lynn is feeling insecure about major, and does not relish the feeling.

Lynn thinks Amber is very pretty!

Marcus thinks that it is also a pretty good shot. He can imagine analysing it in art class..."hehe"

He is pretty sure the Diet Coke one can be found in his profile.

Amber has therefore seen all three of Justin's avatars over time, and agrees that his face one is rather cool She though so when she first saw it. Although she likes both the sign and the diet coke ones equally as much

 

[hotcocoababe]

Amber thanks everyone for their kind words, and apologises as to the resolution of the pic. Amber has seen both Justin and Lynn's photos, but not Marcus. She thinks it is about time that he showed us all

Lynn is feeling guilty about lack of avatar.

Lynn notes that Marcus' old avatar and photo is in his profile

Justin would personally choose writing, as that is his own passion. He suggests that Lynn do whatever she enjoys most, as there are career opportunities in both areas that might not necessarily involve acting or writing novels.

Justin believes that a good story comes with a lot of experience in writing. Talent is good to have, but it needs to be exercised before it means anything.

 

[hotcocoababe]

Amber requests that Lynn does Creative Writing, so that they will both have something to discuss next year and therefore, a reason to keep this thread alive

Marcus believes that Lynn should write how she wants to write, and that she shouldn't care about others judgement. If she feels she has accomplished something, then she has.

 

[jhakka]

Justin doesn't know if he should do Writing and Contemporary Cultures at UTS or teaching at Sydney. He feels confused, but he figures if all else fails he can always go back to uni.

Hehe Amber thanks Lynn

Amber says that Lynn should not feel guilty, but should put a pic of herself in as Amber thinks that Lynn is also rather pretty

Indeed, Marcus old avatar, (a pic of himself), is in his profile. He wonders if Lynn likes his new avatar. He will, however, be changing it as soon as Justin finishes his last exam. It symbolises the realised victory of the Important: Please Read thread over the evil HSC!!

Justin feels that anyone can be beautiful so long as they have respect for their body.
