Wow I thought I'd bought a short 100 page little book, not a 500 page tome, this things basically a Game of Thrones novel. Cool

That's not right.

:( Sucks man.

I feel like the "professors" in many movies are portrayed in a s**t way. Kinda like Aspies.
They are very good at their studies, really absorbed in it and nobody else can understand what's even going on. The professor is generally asexual, socially reclusive and trusting and willing to help the main hero who is completely stuck without compensation.
And then the main hero beats his great challenge, and it was all his work, everybody loves him and on top of that he f***s the protagonist girl. And the professor is never shown again, he was just a tool for the hero's great cause.
Grrr. I guess it's alright since the professor was helping out of his own will and not asking for compensation, but GRRR still. :P

With my dyslexia (and poor reading skills, at times, like when I've been drinking) I thought you said, "'Neurotypicals' came in the mail today'"

I thought, "Jeez, they're even showing up in the mail now!

@Feyokien: I like your avatar! :)

YUK - Filth

I'm not against sex for any religious, moral reasons. I just think wallowing in someone else's toilet regions is not a pleasurable thing to do. It also carries a lot of bacteria and stuff most of you humans try to get away from on a day to day basis - so why do you object to the same germs on ordinary other things when you actively elect to rummage around in some stranger's filth that carries the same bacteria and worse?

Why didn't anyone tell me earlier that Drawyer is Korean! I would have bid them welcome, which I am doing now. See, there is a strange link between the Koreans and Finns, our national characters are close. -- People who seldom smile, people who don't want to be pushed into publicity, people who don't talk to strangers, people who isolate themselves and people who worship their ancestors' spirits.

Korean nation has her equivalent in Europe. It is us Finns.

I know some may know Booyakasha set up a Myna Bird page for me but I wanted my Myna Bird pictures to go more mainstream in hope that someone else may find them as fascinating as I do!


I guess that's the way Special Interests go. You love 'em to death. No one else could give a stuff!

That's why I stopped talking about my other Special Interest (TCP/IP). And I haven't talked about it in over 12 years, since I got my head "bitten off" for talking too much about it to the wrong person (my brother-in-law, who I thought was the right person since he was into computers)

I can explain to you in deep detail how the Internet works. I can also tell you who created it, their family members, their sexual orientation, ... the list goes on. Needless to say, when I get a Special Interest, I go all out and learn all there is to learn about it and then some.

Just signed up with the ISV program at my university, hopefully I actually get selected, it'd be really neat to go help conservation efforts. If I do get accepted I'll either be going to South Africa, New Zealand, or Australia this upcoming summer.
