I read it on audiobook a few months ago and thought it was pretty good. I know it was written as a tv show and then never got green lit or something, so they released it as a book. Don't know if they are still going ahead with it in film form though?
I think it definitely has potential. :)

Forest Bands & Fairytale Rock
Started almost 3 years ago · Last post almost 3 years ago ·
Seabear, an Icelandic band, very good music. http://www.last.fm/music/Seabear
Sigur Rós, means Victory Rose, their music and lyrics invoke an otherworldly feeling, like creeping through the elf infested countryside ;) I love them.

Oil Spill
Started about 3 years ago · Last post almost 3 years ago ·
I read that about the human hair! It's such a clever idea. Sadly I just had mine all cut off! But I am sure they could manage to gather a lot if they advertise it well.
It's a tragic accident this spill, I really hope they manage to plug the leak soon. It will have terrible consequences for the area and the animals there :(

The Most Annoying Things to you that nobody ever takes into consideration...?
Started over 3 years ago · Last post about 3 years ago ·
The problem with humans in general is we tend to dislike anything that's different. So you have the disgusting racism towards people of a different colour, who are "obviously" different to white people. Then the differences get sliced thinner and thinner, until it's religion/hair colour/football team and clothing and it's all offensive if you are the offended party.
I am white and Irish and had plenty of crap thrown my way, mostly by English people. Of course they laugh all the slagging off, sure we're all best buds right? But still, I know plenty more NICE and good English people then I do bad ones. Unfortunately the bad people are usually the ones who are the loudest voices.
Also, for the record, I have never heard an Irish person say "top of the morning", so... just so you know ;D I have actually had someone say that to me, thinking he was hilarious!

help me with my acne problem
Started about 3 years ago · Last post over 2 years ago ·
Sorry to hear it's getting worse. What helped mine when I was in my late teens early twenties, was going on birth control. I started out on dianette.
Other than that I don't know. It's all hormone related, so although drinking lots of water and having a healthy diet is good for you, I'm not sure if it makes much difference with acne.

I have had dyed black hair since I was 17. I am 29 now and just a month ago, cut it all off! I had stopped colouring it back in Sept last year and let it grow long enough for a short pixie cut. then snip!!

the little things in life that piss you off
Started about 3 years ago · Last post about 3 years ago ·
Nightmarequeen: I totally agree. My boyfriend used to have a tongue stud and it would constantly bash off every spoon, fork etc And if he had a cold sore he would have to use his teeth to get the food off the fork or slurp it! SLURP!!! ahhhhh
I hate people chewing gum, it's disgusting. Especially when they blow bubbles and pop them! Their spit goes everywhere!! So nasty. One girl I work with is constantly doing it, I just want to punch her face in!
I know a few people, girls mostly that do not seem to understand, that when you talk about someone who is standing right beside you, they will hear you!! Or when we are in a shop, especially a shop that sells handmade stuff and they start slagging off the items so the owner can here! So embarrassing. I mean you don't have to love it, but shut the f up! So rude.
I walk to work and it bugs me irrationally when drivers stop to let me pass at a crossing when they would have had plenty of time to drive through, but instead make me look like the bad guy to the crowd of cars beeping behind them! Then I get dirty looks. Silly I know.
I think that's enough for now.

I wish your dog all the health in the world. Hopefully his youth will benefit him in the fight :)
I just lost my own cat to kidney failure not two months ago now, so I can understand how stressed out you must be. Best wishes.

HELP with a Kitten !!
Started about 3 years ago · Last post about 3 years ago ·
I am not a vet, but when my cat was sick a few months back, the vet first thought she had a blockage in her intestines(as she wasn't pooping either), so she gave her liquid paraffin and we just squirted some into her gob twice a day. The vet gave it to us for free, as it was just a small container. Maybe you could try that?
I hope little kitty gets better :)

Buffy fans!
Started over 3 years ago · Last post almost 3 years ago ·
I am a huge Buffy and Angel fan. More of a Buffy fan though. I have rewatched all Buffy seasons twice in the last 2 years. Mostly while knitting hehe Sometimes I would watch 3 in a row!
I love Willow and Tara, Xander kind of bugged me sometimes when he would get up on his high horse, but still gotta love him and of course Buffy just kicks ass!
I collect the new season 8 of Buffy in comics and the new season of Angel in comics too. They are brilliant! In Angel alone there have been like 3 or more spin off comics! Some of Angel during ww2, some of Spike, some with Drusilla! Amazing.
The musical episode and Hush episode are probably up there in my all time favourite ones. I have listened to the album Once More With Feeling so many times, it just cheers me up :)
I was very lucky to meet Danny Strong who played one of the Nerds, Jonathan, here in Iceland a few years ago. He was very nice to me and gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek hehe

Volcanos !!!!!
Started about 3 years ago · Last post about 3 years ago ·
I live in Iceland and work in a hotel, so I have seen all sides of it. People stuck here because the Icelandic airspace is now closed and people are cancelling their reservations, because a) they can't get here or b) they are afraid to come because of the volcano and the silly president talking about how the bigger volcano next door is going to blow soon too! Which of course it could like any other volcano, but there are no signs of that happening soon.
I hope everyones loved ones got home safe eventually.
I went to see the first volcano that erupted towards the end of March, but this one is more dangerous(with all the ash) and doesn't put on as much of a lava display as the last one. I think I will make do with watching the 3 web cams for hours haha

Started almost 4 years ago · Last post over 3 years ago ·
Well of course keeping it to the style of the era of the dress would be amazing, but it depends what style you have now and how easy it would be to do it. I am sure it would be easy to even do it yourself at home.
When is the wedding, do you have time to practice styling it?
