Have you ever seen The Nightmare Before Christmas?

Pangaea · **Reply #81 on:** November 01, 2009, 01:14:24 AM

Nope.

Just a weird, random question, but do you think there were any dinosaurs that purred?

Pangaea · **Reply #83 on:** November 03, 2009, 04:55:07 PM

Knowing exactly what sounds dinosaurs made is a lot like knowing what colors they were: paleontologists can speculate, and infer, and in some cases even come up with a relatively well supported theory for a particular species, but without a time machine, it’s impossible to know the full extent of the dinosaurian vocal repertoire. So it’s not unfathomable to imagine that some of them may have produced purring sounds. I’ve personally never thought of a Pteranodon as a purring creature, but who can say for certain?

In the case of Far Away Home, did you find that Sky's drawings helped you to visualize the characters better, or would you have liked it just the same without them?

Pangaea · **Reply #85 on:** November 03, 2009, 09:32:02 PM

I had seen pictures of Sky’s characters on his art thread before you even started “Far Away Home”, so I already knew what they looked like when I began reading the story. However, had it not been for this, I am certain that I would have had immense trouble imagining what the characters look like. Despite my affinity for words, I comprehend objects and concepts best in images, so whenever I read a fanfic, I try to visualize the whole thing as a movie in my head, based on the author’s writing. However, I’m not very good at extrapolating the appearances of characters (especially unique ones like the wingtails) from descriptions, so I find illustrations to be tremendously useful.

Eaten any Swedish Fish lately?

Pangaea · **Reply #87 on:** November 08, 2009, 01:07:51 AM

Hold on...

*grabs bag of Swedish Fish and starts eating*

Now I have!

Hehe awesome!

What was your best day ever?

Pangaea · **Reply #89 on:** November 08, 2009, 04:27:04 AM

“Best”...that’s one adjective I have a lot of trouble with.

And I've got a bad memory for past emotional states, not to mention my difficulties with temporal disparity (taking time between making comparisons). Yessireebob, this one'll be tricky...

Plus, assuming I've done my math right, I've got 7,787 days to choose from (not counting today)...and I gotta pick my best one...Lemme see...

Nope, sorry; I can't answer this question.

Too many choices, not enough memory.

Caustizer · **Reply #90 on:** November 08, 2009, 12:36:14 PM

It's a typically trend that people tend to remember the worst days of their lives rather then the best ones. Human nature I suppose.

How are you doing Panagea?

Pangaea · **Reply #92 on:** November 14, 2009, 08:45:00 PM

It's been sort of up and down for me these last couple of days. Thursday was a good day for me: as part of an autumn-time festival at my college, a couple of exotic animal keepers had been hired to visit the campus, bringing with them a number of animals which students were allowed to touch, photograph, and even hold. I spent every moment of my free time between classes with these animals, which included a Burmese python, a California kingsnake, an opossum, a chinchilla, a hedgehog, a Geoffroy’s cat, a capuchin monkey, a leopard tortoise, a young alligator, and a scarlet macaw (I was wary around the last one, since he had bit me the last time these guys had visited

).

Things seemed to take a turn for the worse on Friday, however. My sister’s pet hamster died, and I had a test that went poorly (half the stuff that had been on the study guideóand that I had concentrated on memorizingówasn’t even on it, and I pretty much blanked out on significant details for several of the questions

). I haven’t been feeling too well lately, either; I’ve had headaches, stomachaches, and a dry throat, and suspect that I may be coming down with something.

Furthermore, I’ve been experiencing a creative drought recently; I’ve had a great deal of trouble setting my mind to getting things done, especially those which involve writing. It’s frustrating, because there are quite a few things I have an obligation to complete, but I keep drawing a blank when I try to tackle them.

What are you working on writing at the moment?

Pangaea · **Reply #94 on:** November 14, 2009, 09:04:22 PM

I have an essay and a poetry response paper to write for my American Literature class. On the GOF, there are numerous topics which I want to share my thoughts on, and a fanfiction author (not you

) who requested feedback for his story. There’s also the “In The Land Before Time” RP (while less vital than some other things, I don’t want to fall behind in it, but I have trouble coming up with things to say if I don’t have another player to interact with who can prompt me), an LBT fanfic I am working on, and a non-LBT-related story I am currently planning, and hoping to publish someday.

Serris · **Reply #95 on:** November 14, 2009, 11:16:39 PM

Have you seen Caustizer's fanfiction of Twilight Valley, Land Before Time: Future Wars?

I mean, some things are completely unexpected, I mean a fanfiction of a fanfiction?

Pangaea · **Reply #96 on:** November 15, 2009, 12:47:55 AM

Nope, haven't seen it.

Amaranthine · **Reply #97 on:** November 15, 2009, 11:04:20 PM

What do you think was your most embarrassing moment in your whole life?
Just say whatever comes to your mind first. ^^

Pangaea · **Reply #98 on:** November 15, 2009, 11:28:00 PM

Cancerian Tiger previously asked an almost identical question (see my answer here). I'm just about the most easily embarrassed person on the planet, and frankly I'm too embarrassed to talk much about my embarrassing moments. So, sorry, but you'll have to be happy with the example I gave already.

Amaranthine · **Reply #99 on:** November 15, 2009, 11:30:33 PM

Aww okay. I understand. ^^

Then....who's your favorite character in LBT? I think I already know who it is, but I just wanted to ask the source first if you know what I mean. ^^
