I just joined, and followed the comments to your page, and I have read about six of your stories, and they are all funny and get better as time goes by. I read Douglas Adams all OVER those mofos, and I'm cool with that if you are.

Hey Jack, cool comment. You know the odd thing with me is that when I don't put a lot of emphasis on poems they are fine (based on feed backs)and the ones I spent days at it to make it good, I get the opposite. I did this one in about half an hour, some parts of the lines (I think) were too long/short and would have read out of rhythm. I tend to do poems about weird situations, this one's about romance, maybe I'm better at this type!? Anyway your comment was helpful. Cheers!

^_^

Easy mistake to make I rather suppose. x
02/03/2011Jeyssika
Oh I'm sorry I thought we were in the 21st Century, I do appear to be mistaken; no bother. x
28/02/2011Mikky J
Hey, I've been away from the site for a while. Just read your comment on "Things I Did on Monday." Thanks for that.
27/02/2011Jeyssika
Bizarre indeed, thank you for reading :) xx
27/02/2011Callidora
I've read some of your stuff, and I like it. Could you read some of mine and give me feedback? I'm new to this website.
22/02/2011Jeyssika
I less than three most happy things.,
I less than three fun referencing;
I less than three this talk tonight,
& I less than three saying Goodnight.

Basically, I'm going to sleep; Night my dear :) xxx
22/02/2011Jeyssika
Incidentally, how can you not get that reference? Do your friends live in caves? They must do.

My compliments are just as good as any others ^_^
22/02/2011Jeyssika
Well nobody expects someone not expecting the Spanish inquisition.
22/02/2011Jeyssika
No hurry, don't worry yourself dear.

& yeah it was :P I thought you'd appreciate it, you know considering your username & the fact you're a massive geek (which I love, naturally). x
22/02/2011Jeyssika
I believe you :P Also, an exclamation point might help.

I sent you an e-mail fyi :)

P.S. Number One: The Larch.

Just because.
22/02/2011Jeyssika
Well it would because you're the one who typed it. I recommend sticking to:

=] =) :) :] :') etc.

Dear me :P x
22/02/2011Jeyssika
Jack what on earth was that meant to be?!
22/02/2011Jeyssika
Yeah, I see it as hope too & I've yet to find evidence to the contrary.

I can't wait for tomorrow to be over & done with then I can get back to writing without feeling like I should be researching stuff :P xx
22/02/2011Jeyssika
Haa well done.
You know I'm not sure because I mean if you see religion/faith as optimism then cynics etc have always tried to put it down but nobody ever has so in some ways it would triumph but I'm sure there's been times when life has turned optimists into pessimists.
& ha I won't, I've seen depression & had it mildly for a while & I'd rather not again :)!! Why'd you think I strive to be upbeat? (: xxx
21/02/2011Jeyssika
:)
It's nice to be nice & fun to be happy.
A good friend of mine once said that no one finds more joy in the world than I do (out of his friends), so I do try.

You're not so bad Jack, we can help each other out then - you can be pessimistic & I'll annoy/cheer you up with my optimism :P ha Loves xx
21/02/2011Jeyssika
6 days is hardly a while? :P I know it's felt like a long week (well for my anyway) but still :P xx
18/02/2011Jeyssika
Jackkkk if you're not busy go on msn (:
Also, thanks loads for reading them all; glad you liked them ^_^
17/02/2011Jeyssika
There I've published something I wrote last October after minor tweeking to make sure it's up to scratch.
Also I wrote a screenplay earlier with my older brother & my little sister Molly published something (she's had an account for a bit) so if you go on 'Read a story' there's the three Jones' kids :P Hence why I wanted to publish something now.

Read & enjoy Jack :P xx
17/02/2011Jeyssika
I'll do that tomorrow afternoon then ^_^ So you might have to wait 24 hours or so but that's not too long a wait right? right...? xx
17/02/2011Jeyssika
D'you reckon I should write a story? I have 2 half-written ones... :/
I just haven't published anything in a week & that seems a bit long for me :P x
16/02/2011BazookaBritten
Wow Jack, i'm impressed you got through Radical Solutions, you're the second person who's suggested i spend a bit of time on it and transform it into a full on novel. I'm writing a trilogy at the moment though, maybe sometime in the future. Many thanks for your comments, it's nice for someone you don't know to make an unbiased comment on your work, as Jessica would say, it means a lot and it really does. Keep up the good work sir. Rock on.
14/02/2011Jeyssika
Thank you very much; and comments are appreciated.

I've e-mailed you :)

Gotta go, talk later xx
14/02/2011Jeyssika
Yeah I have noticed that Jack phenomena :P

Yeah my general writing style is MELO-DRAMATIC, perhaps you've noticed.
My English teacher adores my stories & general writing more than I do which is always encouraging; she wasn't best pleased I wasn't taking English at University but hey :P
I mean I wrote an random article & she almost wet herself. She was like 'You've got a great voice!' (writing wise) It worried me... xx
14/02/2011Jeyssika
Yeah happy endings are a bit uncharacteristic for me but I thought seems as it's a nice day I'd be a bit nicer to my fictional creations, ha.

On a related note, if you like me poetry have you checked out my website yet: www.wix.com/jeyssika/msjonespoetry Enjoy :)

Also, what's your e-mail & I'll send you what I've got so far on the 'novel' idea I'm working on because it's not enough to publish & I'd like some feedback so I know it's not all going to hell. xx
14/02/2011Jeyssika
Haha I don't know with my writing; it never came from anywhere specific - we used to write stories weekly in Primary school but I was a kid then. I used to write short stories, but they would always start then fizzle into nothing - or just be rubbish in general.

Lor, I need to stop googling for names; I'm in school and I keep going on sites of baby names :P I bet the network guys are a bit wtf...
Idc it's nice to have names with meanings behind them, adds a little something something. x
14/02/2011Jeyssika
& The award for being so smooth you post the reply on your own profile (AGAIN!) goes to...

....Michael McNair actually (Note: Not real person, I don't think...)

Anyway Jack, thanks :D & Ahh the old lesbianism trick; good times.

Haha Good luck too! & Thank you very, very much but actually I do - it's hard thinking of little events that all unfold into one big plot; I end up rambling. But we'll see how I go.

Thank you endlessly. xx
14/02/2011PythonWorshipper
Ah me too, I've got a couple of lectures later (bastards). And with uni I'm off for a couple of months too, so I might have a pop at an actual book if I can think of anything anyway. Good luck with yours though, I reckon, based on your short stories and poems (obviously), you'd have no trouble writing one.

I did look at the 'own ending one' and I can only apologise for ruining a perfectly good story, I'm gonna have a look at the poems too in a minute.
14/02/2011Jeyssika
Ha, glad to hear. Pretty average day so far - though just remembered I have a lesson later on, uck.

I've published what I got so far as a 'Choose your own Ending' article if you want to take a look.

Yeah I'm looking forward to it too; it's an idea I really like - though not the most original concept; I'm off all of July/August & I've no social life & something resembling writing talent so in that time I might use its premise for the novel I want to start :) x
14/02/2011Jeyssika
Haha; It might have been on QI - I like to read stuff about those common myths, we're a daft bunch it turns out.
Sorry about the deconstructing thing :P It's just nice to be organised, ha.

People always call me kind & I think that's sad because it means that stands out which in itself is a tragedy; people should be nicer to each other! I don't find it that hard...

Hope you're having a great day Jack :D

P.S. I gave up on my V day story; I'm focusing on a bigger, better one. xx
14/02/2011Jeyssika
Happy Valentine's Day Jack xxx :)
11/02/2011Jeyssika
Aye; I think I'll break my existing trend & actually be kind & nice to any & all characters in my Valentine's story - more of a 'Write me something Beautiful' tale than well 'Words of Chaucer', or 'Love at first sight', or 'Act of falling', or any other hideous story of mine that's tragic ^_^ haha; well Night Jack xx
11/02/2011Jeyssika
How about far away from both? ^_^
You'll see basically.

After re-reading my latest piece I don't think I've actually been crueler to an character than I was to 'Liza :P Poor construction used to drive a premise. x
11/02/2011Jeyssika
Haa
By upbeat I mean not utterly depressing like my usual standards :P; like it starts off sad but has a happy ending ^_^ :D x
11/02/2011Jeyssika
Show off ;)

& you're welcome to it; yeah one of mine is just why I like the day & the other's actually pretty upbeat as far as my writing's concerned :P x
11/02/2011Jeyssika
I'll e-mail you a sneak peek at the V day ones if you really want; I mean tbf I have a website with my poems on so I'm hardly hiding them :P
& lmao nice one ;P
Let me know x
11/02/2011Jeyssika
I know God can see into the future, not sure about Jesus.
But yeah do post them so I can have a read ^_^ x
11/02/2011Jeyssika
Haha nah it was good!
& thank you muchly.

My next story & 2 related poems will be on the Valentine's day theme which I will, most likely, publish on Monday at some point. x
11/02/2011Jeyssika
Hahahaha; I know what you mean - I'm not something plot genius tbf :P
Like for my crappy poem 'Box Heart', it won my school's poetry competition & I only wrote it because I said to a friend 'I'm going to write a poem about a box' & I did & it was good.
x
11/02/2011Jeyssika
Thanks lots Jack.
I came up with it out of sheer lazyness mainly :P Because I wanted to write, but couldn't think of a plot so I reused all my old ones :P
Glad you liked it :D xx
10/02/2011Jeyssika
Thanking you Jack.
Today I'm going to see how long the next few are then decide whether to publish it as one big Part 3 or Parts 3 and 4. We'll see... x
09/02/2011BazookaBritten
By the way. Noticed that you like Dr Strangelove, well i've written a story called Radical Solutions that people have said is like my take on Dr Strangelove. I didn't have that film in mind when i wrote it, but you might like it. The problem is that it's long, there are two versions but even the short version is about an hours read (what what what!) (goons)so i'll understand if you never get to read it. If they make it into a film though, check it out.
08/02/2011BazookaBritten
Many thanks friend. What a cool name man, wicked. Keep writing and all the best.
07/02/2011Jeyssika
Thanks; yeah I was thinking that as I was writing it - like I'm getting better & with this I could focus on the writing rather than plot, per say. x
07/02/2011Jeyssika
Didn't mean to :P 'pologies ^_^ x
04/02/2011Jeyssika
I know exactly what you mean, such a great shame.
But yeah I'd give them a listen they're too brilliant.
04/02/2011Jeyssika
Yeah I agree; the radio series was impeccable & the book is just incomparably to anything it's that awesome but in some ways it was a tad lacking but I still think it's awesome.
04/02/2011Jeyssika
I know - me & Molly were watching the film of THHGTTG yesterday & I was just sat there saying the lines & giggling constantly saying 'this never stops being awesome'.
Fun times ^_^ x
03/02/2011Jeyssika
haha yeah my story was kinda help by Adams so woop :P

But yeah thanking you (: x
03/02/2011Jeyssika
Thanks very much Jack; I fancied a challenge & am trying to see how well I can do as many different genres as all of my work so far varies pretty much all the time :P
Also, glad to hear the humour works, I'm not very good at writing comedy stuff and wanted to see if I could do it, though, of course, nothing beats yours ;P

Thanks again xx
02/02/2011Jeyssika
Yeah; it comes out in the Autumn, when BC was on Alan Carr the other week he said they haven't even started shooting it yet :P x
02/02/2011Jeyssika
I own them too & have read a few but you have to watch the BBC's Sherlock - that was incredible & so correct with his characteristics just modernised ^_^
01/02/2011Jeyssika
Thank you; yeah it's weird in here... x
28/01/2011Jeyssika
hahaa What a great, and apt, metaphor.
28/01/2011Jeyssika
Well it sounded nicer than - ADD ME ON FACEBOOK NOW.
:P ^_^

But yeah I've added you & you also posted that comment twice on my thing, you are the epitome of smooth Jack :P x
28/01/2011PythonWorshipper
Haha, you asked me too! I'll add you but I Probly won't be on cos I'm at my dads for the weekend and therefore internetless, except on my phone
28/01/2011Jeyssika
I'm 18, what a daft question :P

Search for:
jez_luvz_svs_4_eva@hotmail.com

We shouldn't be allowed to make e-mails aged 11... anyway, yeah because there's 3,700+ Jess Jones' on FB :P x
28/01/2011Jeyssika
Sounds worrying/brilliant :P

Jack're you on FB btw? xx
28/01/2011Jeyssika
Course you can.

Haa, what like John, Dougie and Harold? x
28/01/2011Jeyssika
haha Yeah; go online - I did that & found some good names.
Like Nico (meaning Victory) D'arthe (death, duh) & it works well.
& Aimee (beloved) Flynn (red hair, because well, duh...)

It's a good writers tool is Google.

Also not that bad it was just there's jokes where there doesn't need to be & it's like you're trying to make each line funny when the story can carry it anyway. ^_^

xx
28/01/2011Jeyssika
With my impeccable skills of deduction I did figure it out... :P xx
28/01/2011Jeyssika
Jack Smooth Steel.

LOL!

Also, I want to teach like Year 1/reception so that's like 4-6/7 year olds who are adorable. Random! But yeah I really love it & can't wait to get paid to do a job I adore :P ^_^ xx
28/01/2011Jeyssika
Cool; what did you that work exp. for like?

& yeah I'm going to be taking a Primary Edu course so I get that fun every day ^_^ I have a ton of patience so they don't really bother me, especially when they're like that.

Also, hahahaha so so smooth Jack :P xx
28/01/2011OtherL
understanding or not, you enjoy reading and that's what matters.
25/01/2011Jeyssika
hahaaa smooth smooth Jack.
Well yeah I only turned 18 in October & am still finishing Year 13 so you beat me there :P xx
24/01/2011PythonWorshipper
Haha, in the words of Groucho Marx 'anyone can get old, all they have to do is wait around for long enough'. And to be honest I'm not sure if it's a half, I just couldn't be bothered to work out the exact fraction.

And it's awfully kind of you to offer your assistance, you can write my essays for uni if you absolutely insist :)
24/01/2011Jeyssika
hahaha! Well I'm pretty smart so I'll help you on that front ;)
Also, you're only 18 (& a half) you've got plenty of time to 'Get Smart' ^_^

[Well aware of the fact that you're like 3 months older than me...]
24/01/2011Jeyssika
Haa thanks ^_^
Nah I think you got that being clever thing down :Pxx
24/01/2011Jeyssika
Erm what? Doubt it.

It's still pretty awesome ^_^

Thanks a lot though - it's a bit of a meh piece as far as actually being a story is concerned but blargh (:
24/01/2011PythonWorshipper
Haha ok, well I'll try it anyway, even though, as I say, it stands on it's own merit. I wonder if the person who wrote the song says 'you should always read this whilst listening to my music- it adds to the mood', just a thought
24/01/2011Jeyssika
Thanks muchly but really though it really adds to it because they are intense and magnificent songs. xx
20/01/2011Jeyssika
Woop for your 'Don't Panic' display picture; I highly approve ^_^ xx
13/01/2011Jeyssika
Thank you :)
It really was just a bunch of poems I'd written now & again all put together in one story.

Wasn't sure about the last part, I mean I like using repetition but I thought that was a bit much but I'm glad you liked it :) x
12/01/2011Mikky J
Oh, okay--I thought maybe the "Channel 4" joke was a regional or British thing. (I'm in California.)

So, "Delicious Iced Tea"...

None of the comments show that anyone got this, but...she's just poisoned him.
12/01/2011Mikky J
Thanks for your comment, Jack!

I generally prefer not giving my intention--I like the writing to speak for itself, apart from the writer's intention--but I will let you know my intention for "Delicious Iced Tea," if you'd like.
27/12/2010Jeyssika
Same & yeah because every part of that song is genius!
26/12/2010Jeyssika
Me too! I've seen the pilot too many times :P Awesome. x
25/12/2010Jeyssika
Also - just realised - well done for liking Fry & Laurie, I don't think I know anyone else who knows it - it's incredible :D xx
25/12/2010Jeyssika
Anytime :)
& ha yeah thank you :) Sir xx
24/12/2010Jeyssika
Thank you very much; no luckily it doesn't I just seem to have a way as you said of creating 'beauty from tragedy'.
I'm glad you liked it, means a lot :) x
