Happy Birthday dear Megan!
Happy Birthday to you!
Thankyou, you've cheered me up a bit the day wasn't exactly a happy one....
Mum left before I got up and Dad forgot to send her love to us.... my twin brother's friends came over and told me to be get of the gamecube and be nice to my brother because it was his birthday... I burnt my breakfast, and since my folks had no idea what to get me that would be significant to my 18th year they haven't gotten me anything - they hadn't even finished filling in the card until late this arvo. So yeah, know I'm whinning, and its completely off topic but... on a whole not my best birthday.

Aww, as I say to all my friends wen their down. *Free hugs for you!* Course your gonna have to settle with a virtual hug instead of a real one. Perfect present for an 18 year old. Alcohol! Woo!
Erm.... well in regards to the alcohol part.... had my first glass of any alcoholic beverage in my life on the night of my eighteenth birthday.
Vintage Port or something... and well... I hated it to be honest.
LOL
BTW thanks for the hugs... Mum got home and well, she got why I was upset - we are so much alike, she got me into Deltora Quest seriously, I remember her reading through Forests of Silence while I was at a McDonalds Bday Party when it first came out.
On other news.... Nevets is huge... in regards to how huge... his hand looks about the size of Lief's head... I'll leave the rest to your imaginations on how big this guys is.
I don't think we've reached the grippers yet, although I may be wrong as I've only seen the previews...
We are up to episode 44 as of next week....
In regards to Becca17, again even though I stand by what I said, I would like to apologize for rejecting her idea. And I would like to explain briefly why I rejected it....
I have been a victim of email abuse, even thought it was a completely different situation - it took me over a year to recover from.
This is why it would take something big to convince me of such a thing - because of this incident a few years ago my trust was greatly shaken. Trust is a valuable thing, and I would hate for someone else to go through what I did or something similar - especially those I consider my friends.
I had a combination of Woodstock, Jack Daniels and red wine at my friends 18th Friday (One after the other, not all mixed together...though it would have been interesting.) Twas fun.
Damn, I thought Nevets would be around the size of Steven only far more muscly. Gripper scene would be fairly bloody.
Hmmm, stupid people with their e-mail abuse, sorry to hear that. Guess that rules out getting your e-mail for msn convo's so we don't keep derailing the thread, eh? 😛
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! sorry it wasnt da best bday eva 4 u. atleast u got acohol lol
yeh hopefully dat msn thin is fake. deffinately hate fake emails, especailly wen u get ur hopes up. stuff like dat happened 2 me heaps iv learned 2 neva trust emails haha
... so nevets is a huge beast with massive hands wouldn't of suspected him 2 be dat big...
so dq is nearly at da end of da anime series, dats gone really quick... scary...

hey I trust you guys.... its the same one for this account, I'm just not very often
Hey a new person....
HI!
So you don't have to read everything... cause 152 pages is a lot... I'll recap on the important stuff - anything else you want to know... just ask and I'll answer.
Okay, so far we have gone from novel to tv series or japanese anime (sorta like Pokemon style cept better...) unfortunately its only available in japanese... started in February in japan and has shown an episode every weekend since. So far as of this week we are up to episode 44, with a preview of ep 45 (which is when they do that oath thing at withick mire by the way in return to del - lol I can tell what they are up to with a 30 sec preview....)
So far they've remained true to the book besides a few ... side quests which I can reason is to fill in the gaps between the books. One I'm very annoyed about and I believe is a LOTR spin off.
-pretty much Theagan is still alive by approximately before or just after maze of the beast in the anime and keeps regenerating because she has a magic ring (grrr...) they've killed her... from what I gather in the previews... if not... I'll be a very angry person -
Besides that there have been a few changes... one noticeable one in the first episode in fact... instead of being late home on his birthday Lief and dodging the guards, Lief does a Robin Hood thing which is actually a very good way to introduce him as well as the tyranny of the Shadow Lord/Grey Guards in Del and is actually running from the guards. This change I approve of... as he probably would do something like that...
Oh, and Lief is blond (where as he has black hair in the book), this is the only physical change in the main characters descriptions. But we like that, he's a cute blond... suits his character as he starts off as a determined but not very able hero (cause lets face it Barda and Jasmine do save his butt a lot to begin with).
Other then that, being a DQ fan since it first came out. (Seriously, when I read Forests of Silence, Shifting Sands wasn't in bookstores yet...) They've done a very good job, any alterations in time-line and plot I can justify like the Jarred/Endon story in Part One of Forests of Silence not being told until after the City of the Rats in the Anime. And being told by Lief to Jasmine... is justifiable as visually it works better.
A English Translation of the anime is planned... but whether it has even started or when it will be done... I don not know. I surf the web for such infor atleast once a week... as I'm very, very eager for the english DVD box set.
If you have any other questions just let me know, and I'll answer...
incase your interested... here is an anime pic of jasmine, lief and barda.... and filli on jasmine's shoulder (yes I know jasmine has greenish hair... but its an anime... what can you do... I think she looks good to be honest... and kree is mad as well...)
Now that I've learnt I can attach pictures to these things.... I'm going to attach some of the characters and screen shots to my next few posts so you guys who haven't seen some people can see them without much trouble...
... in short I'm going to show you all some pretty deltora pictures...
😱
BAH! Does anyone know if we are able to post more then one picture on each post or can we only do one...
If we can only do one... for those who don't know. This is a grey guard. (all the pics will be from the anime by the way...)
Hang on I may have a solution, to the multi pic thing...
Here we go....
again for those who don't know.... from left to right... manus and the ralads, barda teaching lief how to fight (has you can see lief is very short compared to barda but we must remember he is only 16 in this shot...) and the belt of deltora with no talismens.... more will come when I shuffle through my many many pictures on my computer...
