BBC

2006-04-01 [Kiddalee]: What was the other BBC?

2006-04-02 [iippo]: British Broadcasting Company... So BBC1 and BBC2 are two major channels in British TV, and generally BBC news and dramas and all is like top-quality television... And they have radio stations too... So massive broadcasting thing that speads its products all over the world.

2006-04-03 [Kiddalee]: Aah, yes. I should have known that, but I rarely watch TV.

2006-04-03 [SilverFire]: *haunts*

2006-04-03 [iippo]: *expects Silvie to make a BBC*

2006-04-03 [Ally]: Hmm I don't remember which books I read when... and it has been a while since I read one...

2006-04-03 [iippo]: *expects Ally to make a BBC* :P I won't kill you if you don't remember everything... Or anything >_>

2006-04-04 [SilverFire]: *has a written one, of sorts*

2006-04-05 [Kiddalee]: I have a recently started list, but don't care to review everything on it.

2006-04-05 [iippo]: *demands links*

2006-04-05 [SilverFire]: It's... um... in the real world. X_x

2006-04-06 [iippo]: Well with ET brokered and holiday starting you have plenty of time to type it in :P

2006-04-09 [iippo]: *squees with excitement about the book group idea* Now... We need a nifty abbreviation for the book group (something that means something already please :P I'd make it ITV to keep with the 'British TV channels' -theme, but it doesn't really fit)

2006-04-10 [Kiddalee]: Maybe use a TV channel from elsewhere in Europe?

2006-04-29 [iippo]: Silvie, go to Kidda's BBC and start a discussion on Blake there! I commandeth you! (Well, not really command... more like beg on my bended knees... :P)

2006-04-29 [Kiddalee]: Blake? As in William Blake? I did just study him a bit.

2006-04-30 [iippo]: And Silvie did too (and was bugging everyone in ET about water symbolising stuff) and there's now an actual chance of an interesting conversation that could be sparked by a BBC-list thingie! :O It's like... the wiki would actually fulfill one of its purposes! And that would make me happy :3

2006-04-30 [SilverFire]: *nods* we studied Innocence & Experience (But I had a book w/ the colour plates in, too O.o) And everyone keeps going on about 'the waters of materialism' (like the brook the pebble is in in 'The Clod & The Pebble' - but why is water a symbol of materialism?

2006-04-30 [Kiddalee]: Eep. That, I didn't pick out. What I studied were excerpts from a document he wrote in response to Reynolds' Discourses, which was too snobby and technical for his tastes. Then I later read the poems because I am a lit geek and my mini-essay had sparked enough interest in him to learn a bit more about him on my own time. I just barely remember something he wrote about a clod or pebble...

2006-05-01 [iippo]: Book group discussion thingie wiki done! ABC!

2006-05-14 [Kiddalee]: YaY for the link to the Literature Page! It's so much more navigable than Bartleby.com.

2006-05-22 [Child of God]: Can anyone join BBC and ABC or do you need an invite? ^-^

2006-05-22 [iippo]: Anyone can join! Just edit the page in either/both and add yourself! :)

2006-05-22 [Child of God]: Yay! Coolness! ^-^

2006-05-28 [Calliope]: There, I've got mine started. Have to gather up some of the other recent ones as well...

2006-05-29 [iippo]: Hurrah! And welcome!

2006-06-24 [Kiddalee]: Whee [JKing]! *watches*

2006-07-18 [Kiddalee]: It's too quiet in here! Geez. Makes me wanna do something useful.

2006-07-18 [iippo]: :D Everyone has withdrawn to their summer hideouts with such a high stack of books that they can't climb over it to reach the computer.

2006-07-18 [Calliope]: I keep forgetting to update. I'll get around to it one of these days heh

2006-07-20 [Kiddalee]: I haven't read much since my last children's book. I've done a bit of journalling, but I've mostly been wasting time all summer.

2006-07-21 [Delladreing]: *peeks round the corner*

2006-07-21 [Kiddalee]: ***peeks round Dela's corner straight into her eyes*

2006-07-21 [Delladreing]: O.O; *jumps away and falls*

2006-07-25 [Kiddalee]: Oh. Sorry I scared you. ***offers a hand*

2006-07-26 [Delladreing]: *brings in the coffee and the cookies* eh not to worry

2006-08-17 [iippo]: Remember to export and put keywords to your BBCs so people will find the wikis with wiki-searches and WritersCo through Google too. :) (not mandatory)

2006-11-05 [iippo]: Don't tell me everyone's gone to academia and has forgotten the art of reading for pleasure? I sure almost did, but then I remembered it again and went to the library and now I have a stack of five books to read in addition to my course work reading ^^

2006-11-06 [Kiddalee]: Actually, a lot of my course work reading is pleasure, since I chose to be an English major for a reason.

2006-11-08 [iippo]: Best of both worlds eh? :) Meh, I suppose my reason to go for art studies isn't very far from yours.

2006-11-10 [Kiddalee]: YaY! A new BBC! Welcome, [Janouk].

2006-11-11 [iippo]: :D Indeed, welcome!

2006-11-13 [Janouk]: Yay! It's a bit old and junkie right now though :p

2006-11-14 [Kiddalee]: Beh. Getting started is always like that.

2007-01-06 [Kiddalee]: [iippo]: Have you considered submitting this wiki to Get Your Stuff On The News?

2007-01-06 [iippo]: Yeah, but I wasn't really sure it'd fit the requirements.

2007-01-09 [Kiddalee]: Yes, it does. Anyways, you could have applied to see.

2007-01-11 [iippo]: I fear rejection. :P Ok enough of excuses, I'll do it. :)

2007-02-08 [Veltzeh]: I did a list! If anyone knows, I'd like the original titles of the books (I have many in only Finnish) and some of the authors that I've forgotten... :D

2007-02-08 [iippo]: Whee! Welcome!

2007-02-09 [iippo]: Yay, we have gained a Kaimee! Welcome!

2007-02-11 [Kiddalee]: YESSSSS! More readers!

2007-02-11 [iippo]: In her Elftown-diary recently [SilverFire] was talking about how the bookshelf can really represent a person, and - with her permission - I'd like to invite you all to do the same: think, what does your bookshelf say about you?

Would that be interesting to do? Would you be interested to do that? And what would be a sensible way to do that? I'm thinking people'd make a wiki for their bookshelf personality analysis - any reason it's not a good idea?

2007-02-11 [iippo]: I'll do mine in iippo's bookshelf to illustrate what I'm on about.

2007-02-11 [Veltzeh]: Sounds interesting...

2007-02-11 [Kiddalee]: *illuminates* Good idea.

2007-02-21 [Jenna Rose]: Hmm. My book chart would be huge. I have a notebook, in which I write the name of every book I read down. o.o Since I was about 8.

2007-02-23 [iippo]: WOW. *bows down* That is really awesome. O_O
I know it'd be a lot of work, but it'd be utterly awesome to see scans of your notebook pages... :3

2007-02-23 [Veltzeh]: It probably wouldn't be backwards. ;)

2007-02-23 [Jenna Rose]: I dunno if it would show well on a scan. It was and old address book, and my writing when I was 8 wasn't the best :P
But I think I'll type them up for a BBC wiki. When I get the time (school's keep me busy).

2007-02-23 [Jenna Rose]: Heh... I just need to find the notebook. x.x The last place it was, was under my bed, and frankly, it's scary under there xD Like going into uncharted territory...

2007-02-23 [Annie]: that's amazing...i wasn't even writing in a journal or diary when i was 8. i didn't start writing in a diary until i was like...10, and even then i never did it regularly.

2007-02-23 [Jenna Rose]: Well, it wasn't really a diary. It was just an old address book, and I wanted to remember the books I'd read, so I wrote them down. The first 10 pages were Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books ^^ lol... I have a diary now, but I don't write down books I read. Or much really...
This sucks! I was looking for the book, and I asked my mom if she had seen it, it's pink with fish on the front, and she was like "I think you threw that away the last time you cleaned your room." Noooo! And I faintly remember thinking about doing that, because I didn't need to remember the books >_<

2007-02-24 [Jenna Rose]: Added mine ^^ I think I did throw the notebook away last month... :\ So I'm not sure what order I read some in, but I arranged them the best I could remember... I've read more than that, but I can't think of them names >_< So when/if I remember more, I'll work on it.
Also, the series are in the order I read them, latest to oldest, but the other books, some of them were read between the series, it just looks a lot neater the way I have it. Hope that's okay, to whoever runs this! :P

2007-02-24 [iippo]: Of course, any way you want to arrange your wiki is good :D And now, a short silent moment in the memory of books thrown away... *is silent*... thank you. Also, here is the proper welcome to you, Willow Rose: Bwee, welcome! :D

2007-02-24 [Annie]: -very solemn silence- i always hate throwing note books away...i've never thrown a real book away, but note books i throw away when they're full of school notes and stuff...and even then it hurts...all that writing...all those beautiful pages. :(

2007-02-24 [Jenna Rose]: I threw it out (I think, anyway), because I thought "Why would I ever need to remember all of these books that I read?" And of course, I had to find this place AFTER. x.x

I NEVER throw books away... And if I don't want one anymore, which is rare, I give it away, so other people can read it.

And thank you! ^^ *ish welcomed*

2007-02-28 [Kiddalee]: I don't throw books away, either. My journal or creative notebooks kind of just accumulate. I have thrown away most of my elementary and high school notes that weren't creative writing.

2007-02-28 [Jenna Rose]: Notebooks are okay to me to throw away. But not like, book books... Most of my notebooks just have trash in them anyway.

2007-02-28 [Kiddalee]: Yeah, I don't know if I'll ever actually find a use for my notebook writings. Maybe I should just type up the good parts, print them out, and get a real filing cabinet for them. Then I might be able to use those saved parts later.

2007-04-01 [iippo]: Welcome, [mousepoet]! :D

2007-04-01 [mousepoet]: Thanks!

2008-04-13 [sequeena_rae]: Hope you don't mind me adding my own :P

2008-04-15 [Kiddalee]: Hooray!
