Ah, the Romulan chick is only a day or so old as far as avatar's go. She's a symptom. All I know is, I now have offically watched 5 hours of ANTM and am going to try writing again.... though mom might want to watch ST again... we were talking about it. It's funny, we (well, mostly she) always end up napping during the Delta Vega part - and wake up just in time for the next bits. Oh well... write... write...write...

This fits for the board rules. If you don't like it, don't wear it. I won't be offended. ;) Just a quickie that I threw together:

I should only be so hot! :lol: OK this has been buging me for a while now... Sometimes I like to have my characters speaking Vulcan without actually writing Vulcan, because it is a pain. The problem is I haven't found a way to highlight those parts without hurting someone's eyes. Help maybe...

I haven't bothered with it myself. Personally I just assume when two Vulcans are speaking with one another and there not another species involved in the conversation that they lapse into Vulcan.

Some authors write the characters as such: "[Dialogue]," T'Pol said in her native tongue.

I've seen one fic where the author used asteriks instead of quotations to denote that what is being said is in Vulcan: *Your logic is faulty* replied T'Pau.

Just some examples.

Meh, it always throws me off to do that. In my case it's Trip talking to a Vulcan who never learnt English and so Trip's practicing his own Vulcan. I think I'm just going to highlight all of the dialogue it's not a huge amount. 3 pages out of 35 should not kill anyone.

Oh and OpenOffice stinks! I hate it! :explode:

I love open office, even if sometimes it attaches random chinese charectors into my docs when I upload them onto ff.net... at least, I think it's my side that's the problem there...

and now I'm caught in a pm-conversation with a friend I've not spoken to in years on facebook about whether or not our high school was militantly feminist.

Well that is an interesting conversation! Ug my OpenOffice is terrible... My spell checker never works, it doesn't like to open .wps files, so my poor Beta had to send me a .txt file to notepad, which I had to copy to a blank OpenOffice doc and now I have to put in every italic, bold, or underline in all over again! :evil: :explode: :bitch:

you should be able to go into preferences and edit it to save automatically as whatever type of doc you want...

and now she's moved on to the demands society puts upon us. "Should" in specific. I just quoted Ayn Rand... and think I lost her...

I can, I just can't use openoffice to open .wps attatchements through e-mail. So we did it the hard way. :roll:

Ummm every society demands things from all of its people! Men or women. Some of those demands are different because men and women ARE different.

*shakes head* Well, at least my old classmate's issues are just histronics. You're are tech related. Wonder why that might be.

le sigh. And the writing, it still isn't happening. What's going on with this block that i have? It's like I have all the ideas, and even figured out something to do for the MU episodes, but can I get it written? No. It's like the universe is out to get me. It is. I'm sure of that now.
