Where crickets and cicadas are louder.

[jolantru]

Mention my fiction - and there is the dulcet sound of crickets chirping. Or cicadas, since it is officially Summer.

I foresee this happening in the near and distant future. :P

Just a note: Envisioning is available for download.

And a review is on Gather.com (I used to go to Gather... and then I got busy and forgot about it).

*crickets and cicadas chirping away*

*lol*

Oh god, that reminds me of this girl in my sec class. She's a genius, really. a real good writer, and she was just ... ngn. She was in every way a genius too - stereotypical almost. Absentminded, her handwriting wasn't crap but it wasn't all that easy to read - though a lot of guys' handwriting was worse - and she never, ever, seemed to handup work on time.

The teacher would give her an extra week to hand in stuff because when she did hand in anything? It was Just That Good.

(it's not a pitcher plant - it's like, tiny tiny seed pods, yellowbrown and shaped like a banana. They'd fall off the tree on to the ground and you could pick them up and shoot. )

[jolantru]

Wow. Sounds all too familiar. I have encountered students like that before. They seem to work in different worlds.

Whee. Banana-shooters! I will go check on my book of plants in Singapore. Going to be fun. ;) (Gardening nerd here - hehe).

[delfinnium]

yup. I've always envied her.

And she's in Princeton now. wow.

[jolantru]

Princeton? Probably enroute to become a scholar, I believe?

[delfinnium]

In Economics, apparently. I have no idea. I'm surprised she's not a writer though. :( It's kinda sad. Unless she's still writing under a psuedonym online.

[jolantru]

Practicality. I secretly she is a writer, somewhere, though.

[delfinnium]

Probably yeah. Just like how I'm officially a biologist, but stealthily writing.

SECRET WRITING WOO.

[jolantru]

Yikes. "Secretly believe". Gah. That's what I got at 6am in the morning: incoherency.

Stealth writing. I think many people do that!

[delfinnium]

Like spies. Stealthily writing so NO ONE WILL KNOW.

... which is, sadly, true. :|

(what are you doing up at 6am!? Oh wait, toddler. Poor you. >.< By the time we hit pri school, my parents let my oldest sister wake us up and get outselves out to the bus.)

[jolantru]

Nope. Not toddler. Pre-schooler. She was rooming on the bed with us. She kicks a lot. Plus, baby in stomach was also kicking a lot. :P

[delfinnium]

Ah. Pre-school. O_o

My parents had made my sister sleep by herself at that age, I think. They were following by the book sort of parents, being extra-firm and determined not to spoil their first child.

Then I came along and made them spoil me silly. >.>

<.<

Yeeeeeah by the time my brothers came along, we were all put in one room and just told to sleep.

[jolantru]

*lol* I think we might just end up doing that. To save our sanity. :P

[delfinnium]

Yeah, you parents need your sleep. Especially with another one on the way. Yikes.
