(since when did Layling become colour coordinated?! or pay ANY attention to what she wears?!) aaaaaargh maybe i'd better just admit it, they Americanised her. kindof. im still tough little tomcatlike eccentric Me though!!<BR/>why on Earth did i just write all that?? some of that stuff i've never ever vocalised in my life. please Allie, dont tell anyone else any of that, it'll ruin my reputation.Bonsaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18145863547500593311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9671630.post-53629809803794779562007-04-28T21:51:00.000+12:452007-04-28T21:51:00.000+12:45Sara: I can't tell you how happy I am that someone...Sara: I can't tell you how happy I am that someone else shares my embarrassing secret!<BR/><BR/>Stacy: I think that's a very funny secret to have. I could get all Dr Phil here and say that all girls go through that stage etc etc, but I just love it that you can in some way identify with Janice!<BR/><BR/>Lynette: That is also a very funny secret shame :)<BR/><BR/>Trish: Well, it seems I will just have to live the dream and write the Regency novel. With the amount of Austen fanfiction I've written, I really must have had enough practice!<BR/><BR/>Carolyn: Thanks very much for visiting and commenting, by the way. I've never thought of visiting PostSecret for writing ideas before, but that is an excellent idea!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125437682195078847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9671630.post-17616970008268411722007-04-28T06:08:00.000+12:452007-04-28T06:08:00.000+12:45Creating a Sims world is not unlike writing a nove...Creating a Sims world is not unlike writing a novel. You begin with a cast of characters and an idea of what you want them to do, but they wind up with a life of their own.<BR/><BR/>My guilty pleasure is reading Post Secret when I can't think of a writing topic.Carolyn Burns Basshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702584936557311692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9671630.post-74567702485375303212007-04-28T05:00:00.000+12:452007-04-28T05:00:00.000+12:45Trish, a Regency novel is one set in England betwe...Trish, a Regency novel is one set in England between 1811-1820, or during the time when George IV ruled as Prince Regent. During this period, Jane Austen wrote as did the English Romantics and very unflattering high-waisted dresses were in fashion. Regency-era romances are a huge sub-genre of historical romances. Alyssa's novel, for example, is a Regency.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651755306664865579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9671630.post-62355205881395218962007-04-28T00:16:00.000+12:452007-04-28T00:16:00.000+12:45Great revelations :) And I'm with you on the happ...Great revelations :) And I'm with you on the happy music - sometimes I don't want to dance around my house to music about how everything is hopeless.<BR/><BR/>And I'm with Stacy - please write a Regency novel so that I can learn what a dandy is (and for that matter, what a regency novel is...)

You just need to accept it.<BR/><BR/>I almost posted a similar guilty pleasure, only mine was a list of the books I loved as a child and as a teenager. Then I thought, can I <I>really</I> post about my high school love of dirty romance novels? I mean, I used to read stuff that <I>Janice</I> would have written and forced upon Natalia and Jim.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651755306664865579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9671630.post-72715967737285676102007-04-25T03:08:00.000+12:452007-04-25T03:08:00.000+12:45I'll alert the media...I actually didn't buy the s...I'll alert the media...I actually didn't buy the sims until I was 24, & felt guilty about it too, I just feel like I should be past choosing cute outfits for made up people, but i'm not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
