May want to be careful here and not bring the problems on that other forum here.

That wont happen Nymvette because the people on these forums are a far decent and nicer lot then those clowns on that forum :).Its a shame, because there is a lot of good posters there but its ruined by so many idiots who only want to try annoying others or to wind up others.
Anywho time for a rant and i woke up several times last night because of it being so humid! I couldnt sleep at all and im in a rare bad mood this morning though i had a rather good dream this morning when i finally did sleep!

I don't post much so have to catch up


Anyway, guys like Logwod keep getting allowed back rather than receiving a permanent ban meaning they re-offend (if you will) so in my eyes that's going easy on him.
People always say Logwood is doing this and that wrong, yet no one ever reports his posts. As I already said, we don't see everything that happens unfortunatly.

Mr. Emelinenko is a mod on TWC and if he cares to reveal himself (Although you can pretty much work it out from his user name here) the so be it. But it's not Taffy or Deets.
So Mr. Emelinenko you're a TWC member too? And a mod too or have i assumed incorrectly?
I post as Ghostface on TWC.

Not that I want to get into this again, but When I was there I sent on many occasions several complaints about Herbie including a very protracted email about the relentless abuse and harassment I recieved from him and all he got was a weeks ban...?  THen he comes back a week later Im permeneately banned and he gets away with his disgraceful behaviour.  I felt like Anchor for goodness sake.  The guys a nightmare.

Just had my manuscript returned again. I only sent it last Monday. They said they are not actively seeking new clients at the moment because they are a small firm and due to their "highly personal service" their spaces are full.

This ALWAYS happen when I'm working on the next chapter too...

It doesn't quite work that way with book publishing but thanks for the thought.

You can do it yourself in a process known as "vanity publishing" but that involves you investing your own money in getting it published. Then you have to be certain you can actually sell the books to meet costs let alone make a profit. This requires you to shop the book around and get bookstores and the like to stock it or you do it yourself in shopping centres and what have you. Bottom line is that if you have to committ to printing a certian number of copies to break even and another number to make a profit. It's too risky.

When you see on TV shows when characters send off their manuscripts to publishers directly and get them published straight away, that is total rubbish. Pretty much most publishers won't touch unsolicited manuscripts as they prefer to recieve them through literary agents instead. This is because there is the trust factor invovled between the two parties and the more established the agent the more the publisher is likely to accept the work. But getting the agent interested (as I have found) is seemingly hard to do...

And if even when a book is accepted the turn around process is never as quick as they make out on TV, for there are contracts to be made and signed followed by editiorial discussions, redrafts, design issues etc before the actual printing process begins.

All the people who have their success stories printed in the paper make it sound so easy but it's not. Just like it is for musicians - bands just don't get record contracts handed to them just like that, they have to work hard for them.

I have thought about writing to authors for advice but it's not something I have put into action just yet.

Yes, JK Rowling had Harry Potter rejected 11 times before it was accepted, although with this (my third attempt at a novel) I am already past that figure....

Perhaps you should avoid liasing with a girl who is already spoken for then maybe you wouldn't have this problem?

I have a rant, I just found out about a website which has taken the free pictures I created and posted on another forum and is now selling them!

I have e-mailed the people telling them not to sell my pictures!

They have my paw print and initials NV for NymVette in the corner, plus the site has them under the heading The Serie "Nymvette's 3d Pictures"

I won't be posting anything to that forum ever again, I had gone off their subject matter anyway.

Yes it was yiffy

Look it up...

it's amazing how much 3 days of solid jamming can seem like work, I'm ****ing exhausted. but now "Warcry" and "My Release" now have music to go with their lyrics.

I almost had a stand up fight with my drummer and everything, and I miss my bed lol. on an additional note, parentals being money grabbing C U Next Tuesdays Doesn't help to mellow you out. Honestly, I thought the people who bring you into the world were susposed to nurcher you not try to rip you off for every penny you own.

As I posted elsewhere, booted up my PC this morning to find a message telling me that Windows Explorer had an error. Not a good sign. After some exploration and running of anti-virus scans and what have you I found that I had been the victim of a trojan from some add-on called "Active X" I downloaded to make a video clip work on some site last night.

So I have spent the best part of the morning running scans and downloading updates and ended up following the advice of a security message from my PC to install a spyware/ malicious software protection programme called "Ultimate Defender" which meant I had to fork out $39.95 (about £20) for the licence. But it did the job and I'm now trojan and spyware free.

The moral of the story: Avoid anything to do with Active X!

That Ultimate Defender program you installed was likely the whole purpose of the trojan/adware/spyware in the first place. It's a commonly used trick with malware.

Here's a link about it here but google threw up loads of links about it.

Coming back to england soon. All i have to say is im going to be depressed for a VERY long time...Until i go back in january or march!

Welcome back Totty! Those three months have flown by.

Would agree with you there handsome dead.I dont mean to sound like a really miserable git but honestly,once youv been to Japan,you just cant help but feel really down here in england,everything there is so much nicer and kinder, and cute and fun ect ect.Florida is a beautiful place as i went there when i was young,but boy was it scorching!
At the moment im still getting over the jet lag, im exhausted! Iv come back to a new pet puppy who has the tendancy to chew away at my bloody toes,in the space of 3 days i have at least 20 scratch marks and several cuts.Still he is very cute.

You'll soon be back Totoro...but I know what you mean, I felt really down after coming back from Japan, Id built up to the holiday for months, enjoyed myself so much, then returned to England which as I say felt like entering the past.

Im hopingbto go to Japan for a couple of weeks in January, probably more to Kansai this time, though I still hope to see a Joshi show or two in Tokyo.

How annoying are social services?

My medical certificate expired yesterday so they send me a letter reminding me to get a renewal. So I get the letter on Saturday which is not only a measly 24 hours notice but of course when the doctors are shut!! And when I ring the doctors this morning my regular doctor is on annual leave so I have to ring back this afternoon to see if I can see another doctor.

And to add insult to injury, I have my interview with the job centre on Wednesday....

Intrestingly enough MiB I work at Fujitsu and trhe contract I manage is the NHS cfh which currently covers the choose and book system. I could look intop your password myself, but I'd probably get into trouble so I can't.

So you don't work currently due to a medical issue? Ive always wondered what you do...

It might be the drink talking but the fact that my "Best friend" has got my love interest passed out on Valium whilst he smashes his missus in, in the next room. that kinda pisses me off. seeing as she goes beck to blackpool tomorrow, I guess it could be worst, I am drunken either way but it would have been nice to be able to have some quiet time I guess. **** it though I have a crate and some "The Cure" to sort me out :)


P.S never do valium it doesn't do **** to you it's all a marketing ploy.

lol I was drunk my friend tends to have sex with his missus everywhere and they were making a loud ass noise.

as for the valium he offered her some when I said it wouldn't be a good idea seeing as she was drinking and had never done it before.

the Love interest is going back to blackpool, and I know it's never a good idea to post drunk. I'm hung over and I'm going to change my password on my computer before I make anymore trouble for myself lmfao.

I'm hungover, I'm going back to bed lol.

Well at least you've been informed, BT use Stealth Usage i.e. if you try and download from certain sites, especially torrents these sites are 'funnelled' so it's runs slow. Also, I live a distance to far away from my junction box for us to get no more than 8meg. Howevre if I want to goto another provider bbecause of the distance I would have to get a unbundled deal from them which effectively means I have to pay double, so in reality Im better off with BT!!!

Im sure they must be breaching some kind of Monopollies thingy.
