As a matter of fact, lets all go sit on the naughty stairs, its more fun there anyway.

 

:ddd: Yes, it's more fun there! *bounces things off the top of the stairs to people down below*

 

 

Yes I was watching one of those nanny shows. I like them because they give me an excuse to shout out "devil-child". :ddd:

 

Yes, I should tivo one sometime! I like to cackle at the parents. ;)

 

And, Olivia - I am a night owl too. :woot: Marie seems also to pretty much be! If my body had it's way it would never ever sleep at night.

 

I read this about Sanderson and am more hopeful.

 

Afterwards we had more Q and A, and I got to dive into some WoT with him, but after a question about his love of female fantasy protagonists. Mr. Sanderson said his main influences were the authors of Dragon's Bane, Dragon Flight and Dragon Prince, all writers during the feminist fantasy movement of the seventies. And of course, in my mind, I was seeing Joss Whedon talk about powerful female characters, and it was wonderful to see the connection, I wonder if either Whedon or Sanderson has noticed it themselves.

 

(Long blog entry)

 

The Aiel are blunt, and this is different in the series. I like them, the Tinkers, and a lot of Borderlanders. The Cairhienin are cute... and pesky. I suppose I like them too.

I've always been a night person, ever since I was a kid.

I like taking walks at night, everything becomes so beautiful and peaceful.

I tend to either want to as you said cackle in sadistic glee, or beat some sense into both the parents and the child/ren.

Seriously, how someone can be so lax in raising a child that such hellspawns emerge I can't even begin to comprehend.

I don't know, but I think it has something to do with just not being emotionally there. :/ It's like when parents don't realize that children need support and understanding (the times that they do need it - I don't think it helps the kids to be a "helicopter parent" at all). They're either cold and divorced from their kids or trying to overcompensate for being that way. :?

 

@Jan - His secret fantasies don't seem so secret! >: ) Three women... sisters, freely available boobs of mythic proportions, bdsm involving pink ribbons, young women aplenty and a tower full of bisexual but tantalizingly sexually repressed women! And what else??

I don't think he should put any more people/s in the books since he doesn't even have the time to further upon the people/s he already have in them.

 

While not introducing the Sharans now would kind of leave a hole it would be worse to cram them in all sloppy like (I know how that sounds but I can't help it :P ).

It's okay. We must all learn to deal with such... adversity in a mature and adult fashion. I put a special weight upon the words "Adult Fashion".:P
