Good enough.

Thats so cool. I do archery, but guns are cooler. I want to fence, but there is nowhere around here to learn. My gym teacher was talking about having a class on both archery and fencing, but he thinks that our school won't approve. *sobs*

Bah, guns are boring. No skill required at all.

nat was only infatuated with jane. he actually loves kitty.

Not true! You have to have good aim and you have to hold your self perfectly still.

And John liked Jane way more in GE. Kitty was like his enemy.

it was still only infatuation. she was older than he was and pretty. and besides after deveraux's party in PG nat stopped liking jane. so there.

Until he get's eaten by a crazy djinn. (Sorry just had to out that in!)

And don't worry BlueMermaid, your english is actually pretty good. Some of the words are in the wrong order, but that doesn't matter. Did you put up an introduction yet? In english, Bartimaus is spelled "Bartimaeus". Actually the german spelling makes a bit more sense to me. How do Germans pronounce it?

It's fiction. What I believe true is true.

And the pronouncation will be same, that's the point.

Jane is more his equal that Kitty. They like the same stuff. Like Power. He understands and respects her more. And he likes a challenge.

Pish. That's not skill, that's just not being a hyperactive sugar-fueled maniac.

that's what makes them so terrible for each other. there's no balance. and nat respects kitty, not jane. he just thinks jane is attractive.

Try to shoot a sniper when you're high on coffee. :D

Sometimes it's hard not to be high. I was laughing for like 2 hours with my friend and some random strangers asked us if we were on crack.

Yeah, I know. My other weak point are the tenses.
No I don't think about a introduction. But I think this is my fault.
And Post is right with the german pronounce. It's the same.

Yeah, English words get weird spellings to retain their pronouncation.

I think that guns and bows take the same amount of skill to aim or what not, but arrows are concentrated in a definated space so you have to be sure to hit the target, where bullets are more spread out with bb's(or however) and aiming isn't as important.

And how exactly is Bartimaeus pronounced?

Have you ever played with those toy bows?

The difference between guns and bows, and it's a crucial difference, is that guns have sights and the bullets always leave the barrel in precisely the same way. Depending on the angle you have an arrow it can go in completely different directions if you don't know what you're doing.


Bar-tim-ay-uss.
