What are you thinking now?

[DanielBenoit]

I love it when everyone's online. It no longer feels so lonley :D

[Lumiere]

I am thinking that I am very silly.

[papayahed]

Why is it now that I'm ready to go I've lost my energy??

[The Comedian]

Swish!

[Shalot]

I need to clean my glasses

I've wasted too much time on the internet

[DanielBenoit]

I HATE the facebook messaging system!

[rimbaud]

me too :D

I generally hate facebook:D

Agrr, I HATE it :lol:

I mean what kind of quality is it if you finally recieve an "instant" message ten minutes after it was sent :flare:

I'm thinkin' "Monday, you are sooo toast tomorrow."

[blazeofglory]

In fact I have been of late occupied by the thought of what is going on in Haiti with so many causalities. All I feel today is man is inviting his own doom with his pillars of civilization. Civilization in fact has called into question the very monument of civilization. It has kept people more and more distant from nature and the edifices he is building is crushing him. If man still lives in the jungle of course he has to fear the wilderness of it but the city he is in is not less intimidating in point of fact. We have been engagingly been adding more and more buildings but to mash us and science has really given us many conveniences, comforts, luxuries and the like so are the troubles and menaces today and we are really doomed with this scientific progress. It is regress.

I'm thinking it's time for bed . . . ugh.

It's 12:50 AM. Working on exams. Reading Dostoyevsky. This is fun :D


That said, it is dangerous to stay up this late, I start getting dark thoughts around this hour.

I'm thinking I have a fear of being overthinking..

so am I. i cannot stop thinking of my future, and the current situation im in. so



so now, i think of having a nice shower in rain,.... lollz

Can a Jewish kid go to a Catholic elementary school and still stay Jewish? This question is very much on my mind.

[DanielBenoit]

Can a Jewish kid go to a Catholic elementary school and still stay Jewish? This question is very much on my mind.

Hmm, having been to a Catholic elementary school I could say from experience that the less strict and more tolerant schools (like the one I went to) would let any person of any religion go, just as long as they participate in the religious studies and are "open to accept our Holy Mother's blessing" or something like that.

So to answer your question I would have to say yes and no; yes because I'm sure most of the schools would accept him, and no because I'm sure they would be expecting him to convert sometime.

(Again, the only experience I have with this is from my experience as a child so I may not be entirely correct.)

Thanks for your thoughts here Daniel. We're really thinking about sending our daughter to a Catholic elementary because the local public schools here are getting worse due to a poor state funding structure and (sorry, but it's true) an overall arch-conservative anger at any and all things associated with government. No school referendums ever pass. Ever. The papers feature letters about "goddamn teachers just want a raise"; "fire all the administrators" "things were fine when I went to school in the '60s"; "close the pool; it's too expensive; the kids can just swim in the lake". . .and on and on and on. . . .:flare:

In truth, our family is half-Jewish. And secular at that. I think we just want our girls to be able to maintain an identity as "Jewish" while getting the superior education at the Catholic school. And, based on my research the Catholic school is fairly easy with teaching of dogma, so I don't think that there will be an active or aggressive effort at conversion. Hell, several of the people we know who send their kids there aren't Catholic at all. One of 'em is a Sikh Indian.

I have the same experience as Daniel, we had kids in my classes that were different religions or not religious at all. I don't remember anybody trying to convert them. Although I do remember once in the fourth grade Sr. Fabiola asking that anybody that didn't go to chuch to raise their hand then she asked us to explain why we didn't go. :cold:

Federico Fellini and David Lynch have the same birthday? Weird.

I'm thinking it's strange how I'd never heard of Fellini up until tonight. A book I'm reading mentioned his name and now I come on this thread and here he is again. I find little coincidences like this delightful, no matter how trivial they may be.

Don't be demotivated Scher, things will look up eventually. They always do:)

I am thinking about why things happen the way they do. I wonder why I do what I do?

[pussnboots]

does my husband really need 32 + pair of pants ?

Missed opportunities don't come back, but new ones have this funny way of making themselves known. All too often, I find that the new ones turn out to be what I really needed, not necessarily wanted, but needed. I hope that things look up for you soon.

Is it too early to be ready to have the day over when your day just started???

[blazeofglory]

In fact I am thinking about what I maybe doing tomorrow, for tomorrow is holiday and that where I will spend my time is something occupying me totally.

I have no any special thing to do. Of course I am not going to do the mountings thing that is what I hate and not doing the routine thing is also noy easy for it is convenient to do it

I think all of the voice-rolling in modern singing is either good or drastically bad. I like it in songs like Yellow Submarine - The Beatles but I don't like in the song Many Rivers to Cross - Annie Lennox.

Maybe I just don't appreciate it enough, but it is one of those things I'd never buy an album of. By the time I'd be at Track 20 it would sound like shrieking and caterwauling. That's just me though.

[applepie]

Is there anything else I can touch that will break this week???

[Satan]

Which is worse: the futility of existence or the cognizance of it?

[DanielBenoit]

Which is worse: the futility of existence or the cognizance of it?

Knowledge of futility does not come about without cognizance, and thus the two cannot be had without the other, that is if one comes to the conclusion that cognizance implies a realization of futility.

[Satan]

Knowledge of futility does not come about without cognizance, and thus the two cannot be had without the other, that is if one comes to the conclusion that cognizance implies a realization of futility.
Indeed. Does consciousness add any meaning to otherwise futile existence? What purpose can pain possibly fulfill if I can't feel it? It certainly is no empirical evidence, but can existence be futile (or otherwise) without the cognizance of it?

[Heathcliff]

Back to the voice-rolling thing, which I cannot seem to clear from my mind, check this out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3bmuzFugiY

That is Guy Sebastion, winner of the first Australian Idol, singing the song What a Wonderful World.

It was considered absolutely brilliant, and I find it very good too.

Only it is a little too much rolling, as far as I'm concerned.

Almost laughable.

[Nyu001]

What a mess of cables I have here!

[DanielBenoit]

Indeed. Does consciousness add any meaning to otherwise futile existence? What purpose can pain possibly fulfill if I can't feel it? It certainly is no empirical evidence, but can existence be futile (or otherwise) without the cognizance of it?

Everything begins at cognizance, and thus epistemic modes of inquiry are the only ways to look into the world, as oppose to looking introvertedly, which is what philosophy does.

[papayahed]

time for a nap?

Here we go again, 2 days of school and his health is already a mess. :brickwall

Here we go again, 2 days of school and his health is already a mess. :brickwall

It's always the way Idril... My son always gets sick either the first of second day of school. :brickwall It's like an appointment. Ah well keep him warm and happy. He'll be up and running around before you know it.

[Idril]

I took him out last semester because there was so much junk going around and he kept getting sick. He has Crohn's Disease and the treatment he receives to control that suppresses his immune system something fierce, then he gets sick and has to take antibiotics, which in turn screws up his gut, which necessitates more treatment and it's just this frustrating cycle. He hasn't been sick since I took him out, he even grew a couple inches which is HUGE for adolescents with this disease and now he's back and he's had a bad Crohn's flare which was bad enough to require an infusion and prednisone and he's come down with what I suspect is either strep throat or bronchitis within one week. I take him into the doctor tomorrow and I have no doubt they will put him on antibiotics and the whole dang thing will start all over again...this kid is never going to graduate.

I'm sorry Idril. Have you considered letting him enroll in an online based schooling program? I know a few teens that are doing one in lieu of homeschooling, and they seem to like it well enough. It may be a good alternative way to see to both his health and his schooling. Regardless, I hope that things get better soon.

[The Comedian]

I'm thinkin' about the stupid meeting that I should go to. . . . . *grumble*

We have a meeting coming up next week where we will discuss our options. He has been taking some online classes but we pay for them...a LOT! so doing the rest of his schooling that way just wouldn't be a possibility. Some schools do have it available for free but I don't think ours are set up that way, unfortunately.

i haven't been on here in a while.

I really don't feel like doing this today, but if I don't work on it now I'll just be working on it tonight.

Ahh... Suspense is a complex thing. It is a solitary sensation, although it is well able to consume your body in its entirety, making every day functions seems like a chore, only until your curiousity has been assured.

Then again, is not knowing such a bad thing?

[Heathcliff]

AS IF I WAS JUST TOLD TO TURN THE BASS DOWN!!!

Not fair...

[Maryd.]

Lifes not fair, we must all do things we don't want to... Like I was told to go into the water, because everyone else was... Grrr.

The school email isn't working and school starts tomorrow. Knowing my luck they've changed my password like they did last year. Oh well, I'll find out tomorrow.

To do list for tomorrow:
- Ask PE office where I can get the PE workbook,
- buy PE workbook from Campus Office before everyone else does,
- bother teacher for choir indemnity form,
- borrow library book,
- argue with at least on person about the importance of a healthy breakfast,
- get through an English class without getting into an arguement like last year,
- ask other students about the knitting needles I'm supposed to collect back for a teacher,
- leave knitting needles at Campus Office with sticky-note to the teacher,
- find my sticky-notes.

[DanielBenoit]

I'm sick and tired that nobody (in real life) takes me seriously because of my age.

[Jazz_]

It's too hot to move :eek:

[Heathcliff]

Today to do list:
- Eat,
- fix all of my school books,
- remove remnants of nailpolish,
- have shower,
- polish school shoes,
- straighten hair,
- scavenge through blazer pockets,
- wait by the phone for something exciting,
- go to sleep at wrong end of my bed.

You know, they say writing lists is a sign of madness.

[Maryd.]

Why must I?

[Shalot]

I'm hungry. there's no pre-made food here I want. I can't drive in the snow. what should I convince myself to eat. I'm hungry but not enough to just eat anything.

[Snowqueen]

My sweet cousins are waiting for me, I should leave now.

[sprinks]

These next 8 and a bit months are possibly going to be incredibly difficult. I get so sick of playing by their rules because I'm not legally an adult, especially when they go and change the rules behind my back, and if I did half the stuff they do, I'd not be allowed to leave the house for the next 8 and a bit half months, but they have seemingly NO problem with causing me problems and making me late.

[Maryd.]

I have eaten you horses... Huauauauaaaaaa

I have been thinking about the visit I have made a few days ago to a very remote village of my country and the kind of interaction I had with them. This was a wonderful reminiscence in my life, and it in fact vitalized me, and gave the courage to face difficulty that comes in my way. Those villagers I have came across lived difficultly for they had to walk miles and miles just fetch a sack of salt and kerosene they use for lamps, for there is no electrification, no TV, and even a radio is a great entertainer and luxury. Owning a radio is a matter of prestige in that part.

I have stayed a few days with them and tried to closely interact with them.

Funnily enough, I went to a really great lecture just last week by an anthropologist who lived for over a year in a very rural village in Russia, in a place very similar to what you just described. There was no running water, a couple people had TVs (but only got two state-run stations), and no machinery for their farms. A field it would take a US farmer maybe a day to hay took them a month and each family's entire efforts went to supporting a single cow which gave them basically everything they needed to survive, but nothing beyond.

These people did not consider themselves poor. I have friends who complain when someone messes up their order at Wendy's. It's all about perspective.

WAIT!!
I just had a sudden epiphany, maybe I'm not trusting enough and I'm the one with the problem, not everyone else. It is all clear now.
Wait... Nope, I changed my mind. I'm still going to try and trust my friends more but I'm certain it is everyone else's fault rather than my own.

It is of course all about perspectives. What we call richness and contentment is relative and some people with the kind of life you have mentioned are really happy and others becoming filthy rich are not contented.

I have seen so many families in some villages of Nepal and they are happier than those who are rich and live very lavishly in the city.

Will I go out and get pissed?

[Basil]

Did Jermac choose to become Dinkleberry2010, Drama Queen, or was this transmogrification caused by mischievous faeries?

[blazeofglory]

I am thinking about attending a party today

[Maryd.]

Thinking how sad it must have been for him...

[papayahed]

Can I have two?:

1) When is the next time I'll be at Macy's to return this stupid purse???

2) Some people really are their own worst enemy.

[Pensive]

I am thinking about Scher's new signature. :)

[Scheherazade]

I am thinking about Scher's new signature. :)What a coincidence! I think about my signature quite often too...

:D

[Shalot]

I'm not watching the game

[papayahed]

Good for the Saints.

[Hurricane]

Awesome game, Saints. They took risks and played with heart, and it was great to see it rewarded.

[blazeofglory]

I am thinking about the character of Mitya in the Brothers Karamazov

[blazeofglory]

I am thinking about taking a nap now

[Maximilianus]

About how meaningful it might be to think

[DanielBenoit]

Bloody effing essay!

[Scheherazade]

Purposes of text

[Niamh]

its almost wednesday! :banana:

[Zeniyama]

Thinking about this one girl who makes my day every time I get to talk with her.

...Also thinking I should make an attempt to get back into the writing groove.

[Maximilianus]

Thinking about this one girl who makes my day every time I get to talk with her.
Curiously I was thinking similarly. Is she someone from Lit Net? I'm not asking for names though :p

[Hurricane]

What to do with my snow day tomorrow: catch up on school work, or go work out and relax all day...

[Zeniyama]

Curiously I was thinking similarly. Is she someone from Lit Net? I'm not asking for names though :p

No, she's not anyone from Lit Net; she's somebody that I met at school last semester...
And thankfully, in regard to what I said earlier, I still get to talk with her every day this semester.

[BibliophileTRJ]

Why is the "Serious Discussions" Sub-Forum headed by such a funny-looking cat?

How can I take any of those threads seriously when every time I set eyes upon "Serious Cat" I burst out laughing?!?

Adorable.... frightfully misplaced; but adorable.

[Maryd.]

Thinking must hurry, have to pick the kids up from school.

[stephofthenight]

That it is terribly ironic, that it's a literature site, distracting me from writing my english paper

[Maximilianus]

Bleeding effing thinking, pointless and still thinking :(


No, she's not anyone from Lit Net; she's somebody that I met at school last semester...
And thankfully, in regard to what I said earlier, I still get to talk with her every day this semester.
Good luck then :)

[Heathcliff]

I should stop slouching. It would do me wonders.

[Maryd.]

Thinking, I must make some very serious changes!

[samercury]

Yes! Snow day!!

[Virgil]

Yes! Snow day!!

:svengo: I take it you don't have to shovel. :D

[toni]

Thinking of a question I came across a book: Is thinking possible without language ?

[DanielBenoit]

Thinking of a question I came across a book: Is thinking possible without language ?

Oh wow! What book was it? This is my specialty Toni! :D yay!

Have you ever read any Wittgenstein or Derrida?

[toni]

Oh wow! What book was it? This is my specialty Toni! :D yay!

Have you ever read any Wittgenstein or Derrida?


Just some old, college Philosophy textbook.
And no, I haven't read Wittgenstein or Derrida
:svengo:

[samercury]

:svengo: I take it you don't have to shovel. :D

Of course not, it's one of the few good things about not being home :p

[Snowqueen]

I should turn this thing off now.

[Janine]

I should go back to bed (I am tired and I have a headache) and watch the snow falling...that would be cozy. I am also wondering how much more we will be getting this year...?

[Maryd.]

I should wake the kids for school.

[Lacra]

I need to re-read some books in order to refresh my weak memory.

[papayahed]

This is what happens when I ask for help!! :banghead::mad5::smash::puke::flare:

[Niamh]

I should really go to bed... especially seeing as the reason i was up late left about and hour and a half ago...

[AimusSage]

"Sleep is good, the awaken the next day is even better"

That's a quote.... I quote myself. I am an egomaniac. :D

[Niamh]

"Sleep is good, the awaken the next day is even better"

That's a quote.... I quote myself. I am an egomaniac. :D

have you been drinking... too?:goof:

[AimusSage]

have you been drinking... too?:goof:

Maybe a bit of whisky, I have a sore throat, it's the best medicine. :angel:

Wow, all new smilies. :angelsad2::crazy::leaving::piggy::biggrinjester:: troll::sifone::coolgleamA::party::beatdeadhorse5: :iagree:

[Niamh]

I'll take that as a yes then.

[AimusSage]

I'll take that as a yes then.

Didn't you say you were going to sleep. :lol:

Don't do it though, I'm having a blast. :D

[blazeofglory]

I am thinking about our economy. The Nepalese economy has undergone sea change over the last two decades and the continued political standoff has pushed the country's economy much behind. It is of course the political leaders who account for all what is going on. They have no moral fibers and all that the take interest in is spinning more and more money regardless of what is going on in the country. This though totally occupied me and this is what I am thinking now

[Taliesin]

Why oh why did I read the topic "Are bookworms more emphatic?" as "Are bookworms more necrophiliac?"?

[blazeofglory]

I am aroused by something I do not know emotionality and that ends up in creativity. I know when we are possessed with some feelings or creative ideas we become emotionally wrapped up and switch to creative works.

Therefore i am thinking about composing something that is greatly absorbing me and I do not know what I will write. Writing is an obsession and that occupies or possess us, and when we get intoxicated with writing no power can stop us from doing this.

I write in a way that I get used up or gnawed at by it. I am addicted to writing. This intoxication of writing took all my energies.

That gibberish thing I am preoccupied with; in fact I remained imprisoned by these things.

I am thinking the way a character in a jubilant manner is mulling over fact or fiction.

In fact I got possessed by something Paroxysm and do not know any exorcism to get me rid of that. Of course such fragmentary ideas are occupying me today and I find no place better to put forth the feelings or thinkings the way I can do in this forum

[Shalot]

oh I looked at your profile and you're a d/b. Cool. I won't bother with responding to your posts.

[Heathcliff]

I refuse to think right now. It will only upset me...

[blazeofglory]

I am thinking about something as to why we are different from animals. I do not it is sex that distinguishes us from animals or something.

In fact I like to question all about our history which is simply a nightmare as James Joyce

[Heathcliff]

I'll have more energy after I eat.

[blazeofglory]

I am thinking about my stupidity at times

[DanielBenoit]

It's 2:51 AM here. Can't sleep. Damn it.

[Maryd.]

Thinking should stop drinking now...

[papayahed]

Why is it that all I seem to want to do is go outside and play in the snow??

[blazeofglory]

I have been thinking about the characters Dostoevsky has created in his the Brothers Karamazov,all unique and perfect. Ivan is a character occupying me all the time in thought. That he is such a great writer and philosopher the world got is in-debatable.

[atiguhya padma]

Why should class difference restrict your actions? Why let class consciousness control what you like, what you want, what you do?

[blazeofglory]

I was just thinking about the place I have visited and the way we danced, chatted, ate, drank all day.

Now back in the house the memory is fresh. I am thinking now that I must visit mountains very often. I can feel fresh and breathe in oxygen.

[Lacra]

:brickwall I am thinking: when will my children sleep?

[Heathcliff]

Either I'm a fast typer or everyone else is just slow.

[Shalot]

why did I log in here? I have nothing to post about. I came to lurk and inadvertantly logged in. Since I logged in, I should post something. better go to the What Are You Thinking now thread.

[blazeofglory]

I am thinking about the place I have visited to the outskirt of the city

[toni]

I am thinking about the unknown and unknowable. And the fact that I have been Agnostic for 12 hours already.

[Zeniyama]

Thinking about how the more I try eating marmite the more I kind of begin to like it. I wouldn't consider myself a fan as of yet, though.

[Maryd.]

Thinking that a good dentist has turned my teeth into sparkling diamonds and lace. Thank you. Doc.

[Shalot]

I am loving the crap out of these smilies. Where has this smilie been all my lit net life? :ciappa: :ciappa: :ciappa: :ciappa: :ciappa: :ciappa:

[papayahed]

I'm digging having President's day off, nothing like a three day weekend.:patriot::dita:

[applepie]

I really miss my kids, and I want to take them to play in the snow.

[Maryd.]

I really miss my special friend.:nonod:

[Hurricane]

Looks like my entire pay for the next few months is going to the "buying crap for NOLs" fund. Sigh.

[applepie]

Thank god I've dug my driveway out again. One time down only maybe another two or so to go;)

[eyemaker]

Got some couple of money for a cup of ice cream...or not

[Heathcliff]

Ahh, scary song!!

[Lacra]

Thinking that I need to have a very long rest far away from everyone and everything.

[Maryd.]

Thinking that I need to have a very long rest far away from everyone and everything.

Lacra, I know I am an "Everyone", but can I come with you... I want to be far away right now.

[applepie]

There has to be something I can do to kill some time.

[Snowqueen]

It's getting late, I have to finish my dinner now.

[Lacra]

Lacra, I know I am an "Everyone", but can I come with you... I want to be far away right now.

Yes, habebti, why not? Faaar away of civilization...maybe in a virgin jungle.Muah Are you alright?

[papayahed]

doh!! Goals and Objects evaluation time!! Do I give myself all 5's??

[Maryd.]

Thinking I should eat those two eggs, that I just boiled and get outside and paint.

[Lacra]

thinking: Maryd came online ( because I noticed this I forgot what I was thinking before this, heheheh).

[skib]

I wish I could hear the background lyrics for this dang song.

[BienvenuJDC]

I think that some people just want to be jerks in life...

[eyemaker]

can't even move a muscle...

[DanielBenoit]

Hmmm, I haven't seen a Kubrick film in a long time :idea:

[intoxicatedsoul]

...lunch.

[blazeofglory]

I am thinking about Ninetieth's Antichrist and am really shocked at the way he expresses his ideas and he is a great rebel and dug deeper and deeper into the domain of thinking few have dared to in point of fact and he so much audaciously spoke the whole world of Christianity and the way it is crippling our capacity for becoming supermen.

This writer is matchless. I do not mean I agree or disagree with what he said but the way he said with full vigor and power and force matters more than anything else

[toni]

Hmmm, I haven't seen a Kubrick film in a long time :idea:

Actually, I don't think you've watched any film in awhile.. :p

[DanielBenoit]

Actually, I don't think you've watched any film in awhile.. :p

My God, if you had any idea how often the opening score to Eyes Wide Shut gets stuck in my head. . . . . .

[Heathcliff]

Itchy... Itchy... Itchy...
Itchy everywhere.
The spots on my arms went away within three days of arrival. I've already had chicken pox. I didn't get the, eh, what's it called? That injection for that illness related to chicken pox that starts with s. Ahh... Shingles. That's it. I'm sure I can't have it though. I'm not in pain, just itchy.

And I can't sit still even though I can't be bothered moving. Ahh, I know. I'm daincing to a song. I'll stop dancing. There we go, problem two solved, now, back to problem one.

It is like moisquito bite type of itchy, when you don't know until they leave your skin. Only I've been indoors for hours and hours and they is no sign of movement except for my fidgetting.

I know... Maybe some sort of chemical release inside my brain... What have I eaten? Yoghurt about four hours ago. Four hours. Hmm... Can't have an effect... Then again, maybe I'm allergic to something that was in it. Miscellaneous berries. I don't thin I'm allergic to anything. Perhaps it is only mild. Perhaps because I haven't eaten or had anything to drink since.

WATER!!

Water is the miracle cure for everything. I've decided that much. So water on my skin and I'll drink a few glasses. Then I'll review it in ten minute intervals to see if there is any change. Great idea.
That was thirty seconds in mind, or at least the parts I'm willing to reiterate.

[Lacra]

Thinking: how to organize things better in my life.

[Heathcliff]

Thinking: how to organize things better in my life.
Get a new set of storage compartments.

I just recently got a set of drawers in my room.
It enabled me to get all of the clothes off my keyboard and out of another drawer.
Due to them having that other drawer, I had space for my school workbooks.
Due to having space, I was able to clean up my desk.
Due to having a clean working environment, I can now work effectively.

[blazeofglory]

How can I make the most out of life in fact.

[papayahed]

I need to get my *** of the couch and get to work.

[Maryd.]

Why do I have to suffer this stupid thing called empathy!

[Maximilianus]

I need to get my *** of the couch and get to work.
http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/laugh1.gif ... Me too! :p

Why do I have to suffer this stupid thing called empathy!
Because empathy is common in good people like you, and it's not stupid. The stupid feeling is called apathy (exactly the opposite) and as long as you don't feel it you'll be okay http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/yes3.gif

[Maryd.]

True Maxi... But empathy is murder... :brickwall

[Maximilianus]

Murder is often the price one has to pay for being good, or for trying to be better :( It's a sad rule of thumb.

[samercury]

Worst week ever + a cracked tooth, can this get any worse?

[Heathcliff]

Murder is often the price one has to pay for being good, or for trying to be better :( It's a sad rule of thumb.
Remind me to try and stay inferior. ;)

I feel yuck. It was my lent thingo to have less Coke. I already had some and I know of its addictive qualities.
I can't have it though. My heart is hurting. That is what too much caffine does. Ouch. I've got to get some water to flush it out... Ouch...

Ouchy. Never cried from pain of Coke before.

[DanielBenoit]

My mind is equivalent to that of the logic of a Magritte painting.

[toni]

My mind is equivalent to that of the logic of a Magritte painting.

Surreal, witty and thought-provoking?
Oh, precisely.
:hat:

[Heathcliff]

Why must metalanguage leave me so befuddled?

Its like rapping in a 6/12 tempo and a decrescendo from a double bar line in a horn quartet, pheesable but unethical at best.

:lol:

[yunxin]

waiting,waiting......waiting the station of emotion,send me to the distance where I have never travelled ,gladly deyond.

[Heathcliff]

A practical way to save money is to buy jeans in winter then cut the into shorts in summer.
That is if you demand something anti-fashion in protest of pretty muh nothing like I do.

You know, you can only listen to the song Thriller that many times before you forget the hype. It isn't exciting any more. If I could remake it it would be duf-duf.
