    I don't mean to pester you, but I was reading through my reviewing guide that I typed up, and realized that I could improve so much on it. So, I did. It's been over a month since it have been last posted in and I was wondering if I should double post and bump up the thread with the update, or just create a new thread. I could come up with an argument on both sides, so I wasn't 100% sure and thought I would ask to avoid trouble.

    What are you doing right now?

    They seem like they would be interesting books. I really don't know. We were supposed to show up on class today with the first fifty pages read of one of them, but mine hasn't been delivered yet. Of course, the first book, is the only book I don't have right now. It's supposed to come tomorrow, which means I have 150+ pages to read tomorrow if I want to catch up. Plus there's a 3-4 page essay due every thursday where we get into groups and debate with each other on our ideas. Welcome to college, yay me!

    I graduated from college back in 2005. Unfortunately, I went into college without an idea of what I was going to do, so I only got a two-year degree in General Studies. There have been times when I thought about going back to school because I like learning, but I don't have the money for it and it won't be that beneficial in the lines of work I'm looking at. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to keep learning things!

    Good luck on your readings! Are they at least interesting books?

    Hey there! College is going okay, I had a couple monster assignments the first couple of days, but I think that was just to get us to work harder. My brother and I get off at the same time, but I start an hour later, so we share a ride. I just sit in a waiting area for that time, so that's my designated free time that will never change. I think my quarter ends before Christmas break, so that's a good thing. What's not so good is that we start our novel readings tomorrow, and as my luck would have it, I only have 8/13 books I'm supposed to get. Of course the first book hasn't arrived yet, I'll get that on Tuesday, so I'll be busy reading in a desperate attempt to catch up.

    How's life for you? Are you in college?

    Hi, Slayr! Just popping in 'cause I wanted to see how school was going for you! It's good that you have some free time to keep checking PC. How long is a term for you, since everyone is different?

    I don't know what that is. I don't do any of those coding things in my reviews. I think it's because of those random links that pop up in some people's text that whisks you away to a shopping site, or the "advertisement by skim words" thing, if I remember correctly. I'll look over my reviews and remove the extra coding. Thanks for letting me know!

    I was looking over your reviews, and I noticed that you have some weird BBCode in them. It looks like this in your posts.

    And I'm just scratching my head wondering just want that mess is supposed to look like! It comes out as a link with the color code not even working, though there are some where the blue color works.

    Well, the guide is completed and ready for fine-tuning, or complete rejection. I really hope it's the former. Head on over to the writer's lounge and check it out (please)!

    That's a creepy sentence you have there...

    Looking back, I might look at people's profile page more than other people do. Wow, I am a stalker. I feel creepy now. I'll lay off in the future. SMods can look back and view people's history on PC? I never knew that.

    You'll never know what relics of PC's past I'll find!

    Alright, thanks for the tips. I'll be sure to mention the balance.

    What do you mean linked to? If you're talking about the "your current activity" thing I saw the name of the thread while typing out the VM to you and thought it was interesting. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be a stalker. XD

    Aside from being a decent human being?

    Except for balancing my reviews by not being completely negative while not being completely positive, the only other thing I do is make sure my review says something specific to the story, so the author knows that I paid some attention. That's really it, and I'm sure you already mentioned that.

    Also, I see you stalking the threads I get linked to.

    Well I'm nearing completion of the guide and I'm at the part where I'm giving tips on how to write a good review. I was wondering if you had any tips that you follow while reviewing. I want to get a couple people's opinion on this and you seemed like a good person to ask.

    Congratulations! I saw the orange and thought "Hey, did Astinus get promoted?" I came here and my suspicions were confirmed once I saw your VM's. Just thought I would drop by and say Congratulations! You deserve it!
