Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

I'd probably need my hiding-away-on-my-own time as well.

Although... better not think about the subject.

It's just amazing how you can like someone that much and at the same time want to push him to go do something on their own..... hahaha

Sometimes I think it's mean, but... I just need my little moments of..."Now I'm going to sit on the couch for an entire day and read.... not gonna listen to anyone, or talk to anyone, eat when I feel like it, eat what I feel like.... and be a total couch potato..."

As I said, I totally understand that.
I can get pretty grumpy if I have to be around people for too long, and I don't imagine it'd be any different if I had a boyfriend.

Yeah, I do get grumpy.... or at least I get edgy.... where I cannot stand a lot of things or get grumpy more easily....

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

How's it going, cyan?

That's a nice picture of Alexandra, Em. I keep forgetting it's Friday, too, but for me it feels like it should be Sunday. I kept thinking I should be teaching a class.

Re: QM - The Shiny New Room!

Hello again Lunar!

This is starting to look like an unofficial Mint party, hee!

@Marian, I've spent all day doing beadwork, so I guess that's good.
