Oh...am so sorry am late. Happy birthday Virgil!
Nikolai, thanks. You have such a peaceful calming affect here.
Granny, we older folks know what real rock and roll is. ;)
Nossa, I haven't seen you around as much. Hope you can join us for a read of a good novel soon.
Lote, Tweed man???? What is that? :lol: You're one of a kind, Lote. :) I'm looking forward to your next poll. :D
Amanda - I hope you're doing well in school. Thanks. Have you participated in any good plays at school?
Muhsin - No need to be sorry. I hope things are well with you. You're English seems to have improved greatly since you started coming to Lit net.
Thanks all.

I've been thinking of a good gift and I have two things in mind, but I can't decide. I am going to destroy the suprise and ask which one do you perfer.
Short stories that Hemingway wrote while in High School, or even more hard to find Faulkner's poetry?
Let me know and I'll transcribe and send one to you.
Happy Really Late birthday, Virgil!!!:):):)
No I did not know that (Islands in the Stream). Oh Nick you don't have to give me a gift. What do you mean by transcribe? Hand type them in? Sounds like a lot of trouble. You don't have to do it for me. But I'll tell you. One of the things that helped my writing when I was young was transcribing good works of fiction. So because I think it will help you in your writing, I'll let you transcribe a Hem short story for me. ;) Thank you Nick. You're a great guy. :)Quote:

..and...V, that was a wonderful long 'thank you' you wrote to everyone. You sure have a lot of Lit Net friends. You should feel honored and proud. Everyone loves you here! 46 today, right? haha
Tomorrow. Not sure if I'm bringing my laptop yet.Quote:

I think you're lucky, It's supposed to be fairly warm this week, I was amazed this morning. Now I know I'm not in Minnesota but it's fairly close and if we're warm chances are they are :p . Of course what I consider warm and what you consider warm.....Quote:

Happy Much Belated Birthday Virgil!!
Sorry I missed it, but I just dug myelf out of the cave after writing exams! Hope it was a great day!
Lote-Tree,'a dinosaur?!':lol: - I'd hate to hear what you would call me on my birthday. Yikes! Should I lie about my age, Virgil?;)Quote:

Yeah, I haven't been here in ages. I got caught up in classes and studying. Exams are next month, but we're done with all the classes now, so I'll hopefully be around more often :D I'd LOVE to join for a book read, it's just that I already got tons of reference books to go through, not to mention that I'm still finishing up my novel course reading (I'm currently reading the final novel this term Silas Marner). But I'll try my best, if not in a book read then in discussions in general...I'll be around anyways..:D:DQuote:
