The one odd thing about the fixed summary is why are we in Nebraska?

Why
aren't we in Nebraska?
But okay, fine. The new fixed summary:
Bestseller Goodkind (Confessor) ventures into thriller territory with results sure to please fans of his fantasy fiction. In the opening pages, Astinus, the book’s unwitting hero, saves the beautiful Jax from being run down on the street in Greensboro, NC, by Orson Scott Card's truck flying a pirate flag. Jax, who turns out to be from an alternate reality where evildoers are attempting to seize control of her civilization and where Orson Scott Card is the god of lust, has traveled to North Carolina to seek Asty’s help in saving her people from being enslaved by sparkly dragon people. In Jax’s world, magic takes the place of technology, but on earth she’s stripped of her powers, among other things, and forced to fight armed with only her trusty dagger. The author takes his time setting all this up, but once the story gets rolling, it’s a gripping ride as Orson Scott Card whooshes in between his own little world, which remains unseen, and ours. Fantasy and thriller readers alike will find themselves swept along to the final confrontation and looking forward to writing fanfiction about this crap.

On the topic of things that share your name (because "Astinus" just isn't that common of a name), there's a Sims 2 story that I'm in love with that has a character who calls herself "Jax", short for Jasmine. She kind of reminds me of you.

In what way? o.o

Would you mind if I told you that a certain book character comes first? Erm, let's say the same holds true on my end.
|
Gasp!
It's okay. I'll just be over here having an affair on you with an animated character.
Incidentally, I read that Gardevoir fic you sent me, and I kinda want the pieces of my mind back. Oh, that mold part near the beginning? Very lovely.

Haven't we been over this before? PC staff is crazy. All of us. Each and every single one of us is our own brand of crazy, and a collective PC kind of crazy.

Okay, fair point. I know you guys have a mini-bar in there. The wandering thread said so.
Incidentally, guess what's in the Poetry forum right now. I wrote dirty limericks for it.

Too good to be true? At any rate, troll or not, I think I found August's FFotM. I mean, I don't think any story out there can beat this one.

Speak of the devil, and the devil shall come. Or something like that.
In any case, dammit. I get worn out from
lack of sleep + work, and I miss a golden opportunity that Citrinin takes. *fistshake*
Oh well. At least last night, I got to watch a full hour of Jeff Goldblum on
Law and Order, during which I actually sort of fangirl squealed when he ninjaed in and took a suspect's gun. Maybe it's fangirl's wishful thinking to think about every single one of his sci-fi movie characters doing something like that? (I kinda miss his not-so-serious roles. Even though I have to say holy geez to
Adam Resurrected.)

No, you're right. In Game, John Paul and Theresa had no idea what was going on with their kids. In Ender in Exile, however, they do know everything. From what Peter and Valentine are doing on the 'nets to the abuse the two younger kids (and the rodents!) suffered under Peter. I recently read parts of EiE, and in the beginning, John Paul and Theresa discuss how they can make Peter and Val write their essays to make it so Andrew doesn't come home. So they know, they just don't do anything to stop it.

Once again, this makes me feel sorry for Card's kids.

Why am I laughing at this?!

Because you're a twisted, twisted person.
Also, because it really is hilarious how the Wiggin adults just win Parent of the Year.

She waits for me at night, she waits for me in silence
She gives me all her tenderness and takes away my pain
And so far she hasn't run, though I swear she's had her moments
She still believes in miracles while others cry in vain
It's all about soul
It's all about faith and a deeper devotion
It's all about soul
'Cause under the love is a stronger emotion
She's got to be strong
'Cause so many things getting out of control
Should drive her away
So why does she stay?
It's all about soul

♥ I love it when you serenade me.

Also, the messages on your profile scare me. Hold me?

Well, m'dear, Gizamimi Pichu doesn't usually bite. But otherwise... *hands you a foam club and
American Gladiator uniform*
The rest of them, yeah.

This is probably a shot in the dark, but I'll try. Have you ever been to a restaurant that has margarita pizza? It's my favorite kind of pizza, and the only pizza place that my family goes to is, well, Pizza Hut. And I think that fully explains why I only eat it frozen. Since I could eat that pizza every day if I could.

Oddly enough, the campus cafe at Smith serves it every day. Which means you have yet
another reason to come visit me when I'm at school. Or maybe apply for Smith. You know. Either way.
