On the other hand, if you'd prefer to be gloomy, there are about four other Endless that would be more suitable

That seems kinda inverted.. don't ya think?

I came out as Desire..

I think I'd rather be Death

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-02-2002, 02:20 AM

Hey, Desire is pretty cool! I like Desire, anyway

Even though it caused...nevermind, shutting up NOW!

Mirahzi · 06-02-2002, 03:34 AM

Damn.. almost bilked it out of you... (is bilked a word, heard it somewhere)

- Just checked.. it is.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-02-2002, 05:05 PM

You can't bilk (yay! new word!) anything out of me-especially plot spoilers

Tanoliel · 06-02-2002, 08:26 PM

Hmmm now I'm going to have to read those books (although I doubt our library has them, it's so small

)anyway I looked up bilk and while the definition isn't very good (2. defraud ;cheat; decive) it sounds cool and would make a vey good insult

(something like "loquacious fop"

) its also a good word for scrabble

Tanoliel · 06-02-2002, 09:31 PM

er...onto the topic of the thread...

HEY! I just finished Good Omens...it's REALLY GREAT! Anyone else here read it at all?

I love that book. It makes me happy. Ovenmitts and holy water.

I like Desire even if it isn't very nice. Hey, it would cool to live in a heart!

Carafin · 06-04-2002, 08:09 PM

yes, um, sorry about that

well I looked in our (new) library and they don't have anything by Neil Gaimen

our old library did
are there any sites with summaries of the sandman (or any of his books?I wouldn't think so

) *sighs*

Eruviel Greenleaf · 06-05-2002, 12:48 AM

How sad they don't have anything by Neil Gaiman (who's works I worship if you haven't noticed by now

)

You could try doing a search, I think he has a website. I'm sure there is. . .

New Neil Gaiman book!!!

I believe in 5 days...maybe less, his latest book, Coraline is coming out. I'm REALLY excited...it looks very, very good. It's supposed to be a childrens book, but I say read it anyway. Supposedly adults find it to be really scary.

Yay!

here's the website about it:
Coraline
