I know, it's done that to me a few times - I started writing all my longer docs on wordpad instead of the reply box lately. Not that I've been doing much of that anyway, obviously. xD

Oh and I actually mixed up Wicked with Maleficent for some reason - I actually never saw Wicked, but I'm guessing it's somewhat along the same lines as both Maleficent and Into the Woods. I'll have to look up the soundtrack though - there's never enough music on the playlist. Undertale has been the main thing listened-to for maybe two or three months now: they're all instrumental tracks, but by association with the game itself they're considerably powerful and/or emotional, aside from being very catchy on their own. If you look for any of those I would reccomend "Home," "Spider Dance" or "Battle Against a True Hero" (<-- there's also a metal cover of this one by "ferdk").

Yeah I didn't care a lot for Into the Woods though - it had some charm, but something about it just didn't gel.

I find it a bit odd how 2-hour movies cost as much as a full season of whatever TV series, which sometimes run beyond 11 hours: been watching more of those lately, like Band of Brothers and Guin Saga. I do believe there is a Redbox at work, but I've never bothered using it yet. :3 Luckily though, AoU has started playing on TV, so I was able to see that one. It was good, but not as great as the first - probably because of how difficult it is to top the hype that preceded the first one. Now that the cat is out of the bag, and we've already seen a ton of heroes and villains (and know a ton more are coming in one way or another), the novelty is starting to subside a bit. Ultron was better than I was expecting, but he probably could have been much better developed if three other heroes weren't introduced to the already-packed cast. (And I don't think anyone was happy about Quicksilver: not only dying, but dying unnecessarily. Even if he is still alive, it would have made much more sense for him to have moved Hawkeye out of the way, considering he did that with EVERY OTHER PERSON HE SAVED... Ahem... >.> ) Overall though, it was good insofar as tying future films into the plot. Antman I tried to get on Ebay but Ebay has been breaking down on me a lot; tried Amazon, but their prices are bad. I hear Antman is essentially just very silly, even for the Marvel universe, but I enjoy silly, so we'll see.

Haven't watched the new Star Wars yet, but I certainly intend to: I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Star Wars, but mostly the former. Some parts are better at putting me to sleep than providing entertainment, ha ha but it's a fun universe for sure - I'd consider myself a fan. ;) Most of my family likes watching movies on a fairly regular basis too - my dad & I are usually on top of things. Right now I'm excited for The Revenant, Kung Fu Panda 3, Zootopia, The Ratchet and Clank Movie, and probably about five others that are coming out.

Ahh well, "priorities", lol. 17-K is still quite impressive - I've yet to hit that benchmark. For my recontructed novel I'm just below 6000 words currently, and have done absolutely nothing with it for maybe two months. I actually made a new Nano page, because my old one is using an E-mail address that got hacked. My new profile should be shown as "Neildown" - I don't know what the old one is anymore.

I do remember mentioning something of that, and of course I'd be happy to share about that with you - I don't know if this forum would be quite appropriate for it, but maybe I can send a PM on Facebook. Yeah I notice you're not on there a whole lot but I'd take it that at least you're not wasting time like myself. I'm starting to cut down on my subscriptions so there's not so much to scroll through from now on. :P

I know, right? Same here - I'm not the insane, sheltered, ultraviolent and obnoxiously well-intentioned teenster that I once was. Not that that's inherent to being young, but that was my way of integrating with the community. Now kids think I'm cool just because I'm older and more mellow, lol. With age comes antiquity I suppose (aha, I am also so profound).

That sounds like a great time! A Damascus sword? I might have saw that awhile back, if you took a picture of it at least; I don't quite remember though. My family never had a party for Halloween, at least as I recall, but in younger days we'd go trick-or-treating every year: out on the countryside people tend to give out a LOT more candy per person, since so few people actually drive out of town for the event, so we would take a pillow-case each and come home with them half-full, slung over our shoulders. We actually would start complaining near the end to stop going to houses because our arms were getting sore.

That's interesting though - you were into the medieval scene before Redwall? I got into it mainly because of Disney movies - Robin Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast. Wasn't until Redwall that things went kind of gung-ho though. I probably already told you about it but I made an armor suit out of cardboard and duct-tape for Halloween one year but it was so blocky that everyone thought I was the Tin-Man; wasn't too happy about that.

That's gotta be nice. Probably a little strange with new people, but it can make for interesting conversations when they're the right ones. Looking forward to the opposite here at the moment - I think it's getting about time to move out of the house: Airforce is pretty solidified as a goal now, but still trying to work up the courage for it I guess. To be honest I can barely even remember my Christmas - I don't think we did much during the evening, but I did have a couple siblings stop by for a visit & opening gifts. Went by pretty fast. :P Also a very late happy New Years!
