*snicker* Nice humor there, Heero. Was that an attempt at Halloween humor?

Well, thanks for the compliment, but I didn't realize it was funny. I can see how I guess. I get a lot of people telling me I'm funny when I'm not trying. Perhaps I should pay more attention to what I say.

I would wish everyone a happy halloween, but seeing as though it's 3:00am as I write this, now I wish you a happy November. I hope you all got candy.

Aww, Heero, you're such a sweetie.

Yes, that was VERY tempting to say... He-he-he.... I think everyone here would agree with me on that....

Yes, anywayz, I DID get candy, even though I didn't go trick-or-treating (walking with friends who were out for candy but actually not going to get any candy for yourself does not constitute as trick-or-treating). I think I was being compensated for turning a friend of mine into a vampire at a friend's party the weekend before.

To all you wonderful people, whomever of you would like to give me advice is very welcome to do so...

1) I've decided to finally wrap up a few of my stories. The thing is I have two right now, and I'm not sure which one I should finish first, because one is just okay, but has a lot of reponses, while another is very fun to write, but not a lot of fan support. So I'm not sure which to choose?

2) Green Apple Jones soda or Fufu Berry Jones soda (serious question people... very serious!!!)

3) My brother's being his normal typical self, and has unfortunately caught me sneaking in and out of the house. *hangs head in shame as for not being sneaky enough* And being that it is, he's using this as blackmail against me--- and I don't know what to do. (And before anyone says just kill him--- you should know, for some reason my family actually loves him *shudders* and I'm not sure why)

4) Does anyone have any tips on carving soapstone... it's evil... and I've cut myself with some digging/carving tools already... luckily not the exacto knife. Any tips?

...so yea... that's all... and thanks!!!!

SimplyTurquoise~

fufu berry jones soda, for no reason at all...

Soapstone!!! AHHH!!! :razz: I'm guessing you're a beginner at stone carving then, right? I taught kids how to do that this past summer. My students got soapstone while i got to play around with some nifty alabaster, mwahahaha....Anywho, what kinda tips do you need? For stopping the injuries? Not much you can do except be careful and be more experienced. The trick i used for my students was to put tape on the end of the tool that they weren't using, that stopped a few cuts, but i still kept a first aid kit full of bandaids on hand. As for carving itself, i recommend starting from one area and doing the basic shape first, then carving in the detail. When it comes time to polish, use the criss-cross method with a tool before the sandpaper~ as in, use a tool and (without adding any pressure) lightly brush the tool in the opposite direction of the carving marks (hence the "criss-cross" method) until the surface is smooth with tiny scratches rather than deep ones.

If you have more specific questions about stone carving, i'm still here to ask. Sorry that was so long! I got excited...

Give priority to the fun one, if you neglect the other, you'll grow uninspired. And I guess Green Apple because I have no idea what a Fufu berry is... it may be poisonous. And as for your brother... Well, counteract blackmail with more blackmail... I'm sure you can find something.
As for the soap, you're on your own there... I have no idea.

SimplyTurquoise · Post by **SimplyTurquoise** » Tue Nov 04, 2003 5:43 pm

fufu is not poisonous... it's quite uhm... fruitful er... thanks anyways heero. I'll try getting blackmail on him, but the stuff i've used in the past has either been destroyed--- or concealed where even I am unsure of where he has hidden it.

Anyways--- thanks Kaili--- I am a beginner. Actually this is my very first Soap stone project (evil). As it is, I'm taking a crafts class, and as far as everyone else, I'm the only one who chose to do soap stone while the rest toil away at making bracelets and rings. I've gotten through making the basic shape with a hacksaw... then filed it for too many days... sanded it... and now I'm using a tool (which I do not know the name) but there used on wood as well to carve. I'm just having trouble making keeping myself from scraping the rock outside of the lines (er... does that make sense?) after using an exacto knife where I make V-grooves? Then I try to carve out that part of the stone however deep I want it, which I apparently have no talent for--- whatsoever. And I'll be sure to use that tape idea... as it is, I have five lovely cuts on my hands now from the evil tool. But thanks again!!!

I'm having a stomach ache right now, so I was wondering, Heero, what to do while you are feeling crappy as hell even though you took medicine to get rid of it?

Andrea · Post by **Andrea** » Tue Nov 04, 2003 9:10 pm

Ooh! Blackmail!! What-- it's sooo fun!! Mwahahahaa!!! There's nothing like a good phone call, or a shower-time tape... oh, yes.... Hahaha...!! So many things you can do, ST! Blackmail!!
