theweerouss I have a twitter account, but don't really use it. It's great to know what # marks mean now, though, I was wondering about that! I'll have to give it more of a try... Right now I primarily use StumbleUpon to promote my work, but it seems to only help on the...

theweerouss I applied and they rejected me, which I thought was weird, since there really wasn't any material to accept or deny. Anyway, I went back to them asking if I could apply again and they told me I can't. How have you applied more than once? I'd really like to...

theweerouss haha, so true! your encounter with your friend is something similar i often encounter with others; them having different views of a song's lyrics than i do. beauty is in the ear of the listener, in this case!

What are the worst books that you've actually managed to finish? For me it would probably be Eragon, as I thought the plot was extremely overused and ill-defined. In general though, I don't finish books that deem bad, so my...

theweerouss one more point: if companies cut on job performance, it should apply to all seniority levels. poor performance is poor performance, period. i don't think any special exceptions should be made to keep someone who doesn't do their job, whether they are...

theweerouss I wrote a couple tourist articles from the Assignment Desk not too long ago, maybe those will go over well. Interesting that you've found snakes and spiders get good hits! I wouldn't have thought that! Thanks and keep it up :)
