Thank you! :D I kept putting it off, and I guess finally I just thought, "fuck it. just get it over with." And I did. :D I just hope it worked well with the overall story. And thanks, Mars. :) I'm working on chapter three right now. ^^; |

I was so happy to see that you've completed Intervention. :) That had to be my favorite Steve fic so far. I also read the first two chapters of Day to Day and enjoyed that very much as well. So now I owe you two reviews. :P |

Hahah, 10 pounds... a 10 pound bag of weed would be about the size of one's body. Resident pothead, if ever anyone needs info... :$ ;) |

Mmkay, so 10 pounds is a little over...what would be a reasonable size? |

Well, the density is fairly low, so after Birdie showed me four bags not even equalling a half pound were inside this BIG box, on Wikipedia, I mentally estimated that a pound would easily fill it up and be kinda bulky. :P |

Unprocessed ... that makes a huge difference. I was picturing the "ready for purchase" variety. |

btw, if you go to this link and scroll to the bottom [it's not a long page] that's what ten pounds of weed looks like. [and five pounds of mushrooms, but you can pretty easily tell apart the bags]. that's high-grade weed, btw. http://www.uwpd.wisc.edu/DCNET.html |

here's another picture of ten pounds of weed. quality is unknown. it looks like it's packed more loosely than what's in the above link, but my eyes aren't that great. http://www.charleston.net/news/2007/nov/29/n_charleston_raids_net_suspects_cocaine_23562/ Edited by ShotgunOpera, Dec 1 2008, 06:05 PM.

Birdie, I owe you so many reviews so I left a really long one and nearly exceeded the character limit LOL. So I had to cut it short, but I'll be sure to leave another one soon! |

I'd go with 1 pound, as that can be considered fairly big to be taking out of a closet. http://www.therecordofwilkes.com/rec20000816/photo1a.jpg The caption said that that was 1 pound of weed (pretty sure they called it pot or grass back then), though it looks like dirt to me. |

that's a good sized bag, but would you really "struggle" to get something that sized out of a closet? that looks like a standard large-sized freezer bag. i dunno, to me it indicated something bigger than that. Edited by ShotgunOpera, Dec 1 2008, 10:30 PM.

Hrm. I've decided to take out the "struggle" bit all together for the sake of me not having to go crazy. So, it's back to the one pound. :P |

I was telling my friend Sammy, I must be on crack or something lately, 'cause I never, ever write this quickly. I usually do 2k on my original fic a day, but I guess it's being put on the back burner right now. Poor John. He's not going to approve one bit of a new story moving in on him. :P In all honesty, I think I've just been really restless lately, so I've got to put that energy somewhere. :D |

lol for some reason it's not working right, i don't know what's going on. in the middle of nano, i got all these errors, so it wouldn't start playing a song or sound or anything when i didn't write for a while. i tried it in opera, firefox, and internet explorer, and it wouldn't work in any of them. of course, once i knew it wouldn't play anything, the motivation went down... |

Write or Die was kinda screwy for me, too. I think I finally kicked it into submission, but not before it deleted 2k of my original fic. >>; *pokes other readers to review* I know you're out there. :P |
