[Varenne Rodin]

I don't care who sees my face. I can maintain my privacy quite easily without hiding, and I don't worry about what people think of me.

Why do men have to fiddle with everything?! If there's a switch, it does not have to be turned at all cost!

[Pensive]

Unke dekhne se jo chehre pe ajati hai ronaq woh samajhte hain ke bimaar ka haal accha hai (On seeing him the happiness that embellishes my face, makes him believe the love-diseased is contented).

Yes, but while men fiddle with things, women meddle with emotions.

Yes, but while men fiddle with things, women meddle with emotions.

Also, Asians are good at math and Jews are cheap.

[BienvenuJDC]

I really hate fitting people into stereotypes, but there's usually some threads of truth in some stereotypes. My last boss is Jewish and she just happens to fit that stereotype....to a tee. But like I said, I don't like to do that because it could cause prejudice and discrimination.

[JuniperWoolf]

I just hate being pigeonholed because of the shape of my genitals. If I'm straightforward, rational and emotionally cold then that's what I am, godammit.

[PoeticPassions]

Ah, what have I gotten myself into??

[BienvenuJDC]

I just hate being pigeonholed because of the shape of my genitals. If I'm straightforward, rational and emotionally cold then that's what I am, godammit.

I agree. I was actually trying to make that point with the men fiddling with things. There are lots of women who are just as mechanically inquisitive, and also men who are emotionally inquisitive. Although there are trends, we need to keep our eyes open to individuality. I hate the term...."Well, he's just being a boy." From a friend with a 8 y/o boy, that is in reference to active behavior. Not all boys are play in the mud type people. Some (like I was as a child) like to sit in the corner and read a book.

[Varenne Rodin]

I'm not very emotional in general. I have been called robotic. I am very mechanically inclined. I haven't applied the skill to cars, but I do my own home repairs and renovations. I also use a variety of saws, metals, and molten liquids for my sculptures. All of this being said, I am visually a very feminine person. Stereotypes are nonsense. We do what we were socially conditioned to do, or we ignore the herd mentality and do what we want.

[BienvenuJDC]

We do what we were socially conditioned to do, or we ignore the herd mentality and do what we want.

I'll agree with this to a point, but I still think that we are genetically driven at times. I don't understand it, but there are certain things that are in our hard wiring.

I fixed the computer myself because I pwn, but now I have no one to talk to because it's six in the morning and I'm bored so I'm talking to the "What are you thinking now?" thread.

I was about to ask what was up (or down) with it, but I really had to go to bed because I was starting to see double.

Heard on the radio someone's just dug up a machine thousands of years more ancient than the Antikythera Mechanism! I'm trying to work out whether this is true or if I dreamt it - probably that, dammit...

It's raining but it's going to be 29c. Should I bring an umbrella with me or not?

That's all right then. I'm sure it'll be raining by the time you get here. As it is they're threatening us with sleet and snow for tomorrow. It was -3.5 C last night, -10 C on the moors.

I just read this a second ago:


You are not your country. You have contributed virtually nothing to your country. The accomplishments of your countrymen are not yours to be proud of. The history of your countrymen is not yours to be proud of.

You are dirt. You have nothing. The fact that you have to draw your honour from such arbitrary things as your country of origin and the accomplishments of people who just so happened to be born in the same country as you, testifies to the fact that you are nothing. Nothing.

I like it, and it gets further props for the Fight Club overtones.

Mulling over the feminist term "ecriture feminine". Why do some feminist see the female writer as suffering the handicap of having to use a language that is essentially masculine, a male instrument fashioned for male purposes? :confused:
What's the good of exploring whether there is a female language? Isn't it obvious that "females" from different culture speak different languages and one can't make sweeping universal generalizations about female language?

Feminist literary theory is so limited in certain aspects it makes me... :mad: :flare:

[Darcy88]

So there is this cute barista I chat up at the place where I always stop on my way to work for coffee. I am always late, and so I often joke about my tardiness, like "I'm so late I should have been there yesterday." "I'm so late I should buy a pregnancy test." Anyway. Today when she said "and that'll be such amount," I replied by giving her one five dollar bill, and then another with my phone number on it, saying "yeah, so we both know I'm going to be late when we meet up for drinks tomorrow night, so here's something you can use to pay for your first drink while you're waiting." Of course we had no plans, this was just my lame, unsublte way of asking her out. She texted me an hour later arranging a place and time.

So what am I thinking now? I can sum it up in one word - Shwing!

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

I agree with you, Aliengirl. The Japanese writing system was developed almost solely by women. They altered Chinese symbols and for the first time ever in the history of written language, they modified characters to create words that sounded like what they were expressing. Language based on sound. As far as I know, very little to do with masculine and feminine forms. Although, arguably, the character for sword is almost always expressed in a strong handed calligraphy. :)

It worked out weird. We were there for just over an hour and all was going pretty good. Then she got a phone call and urgently left without much explanation. Anyway. She got me to dance, which is a miracle in itself. If it counts as a date then its the first one I've been on in a while. So I came back here, cracked open another beer, and logged onto litnet. Not a bad night!

My close friend is moving to Australia in a week and a half. I want to be happy for her but I'm selfish and can only hate it. Another close friend moved away too a few months ago. I think its another sign that I need to move as well, which I'm going to, but it still sucks.

I'm also thinking about how egregiously exorbitant by cell phone costs are. I realized today I'm spending 70 dollars a month. And I never talk on it, I only text about 5 or so people. I'm going in tomorrow to sign up for a plan which will cap it at 40 dollars a month. I think there might actually be some sort of malfunction eating away at my prepaid minutes because there's no way I am actually using it that much.

[BienvenuJDC]

Asian women are beautiful. I'm lonely. And certain women in this world really suck!

[Darcy88]

Asian women are beautiful. I'm lonely. And certain women in this world really suck!

You know, I grew up and still live in an area that for most of my life was 99.9 percent caucasian. I thought white women were the most beautiful. It wasn't racist, they were simply the only race I'd ever seen up close and ever loved. Then I went to Vancouver and spent a week there and was bombarded by all these Asian beauties - Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Philipinos, ect, and it was like hearing Mozart for the first time. So then it was whites and asians. Then I fell in love with a dark-skinned Ecuadorian girl I met when she was vacationing at one of the beach-side resorts that are numerous in my area. Thus was added another race. Finally I realized that all races are equally appealing. People from around the world have descended upon my area as of late. I now see people from Asia, Africa, South America - EVERYWHERE - thickly populating the streets.

So, to sum up that rambling paragraph in a single sentence - Bien, its not Asian women who are beautiful and sexy, its WOMEN, period. Vanilla ice-cream is damn tasty, but because its ice-cream, not because its vanilla.

And yeah loneliness sucks. Do what I do. Write poetry about it or try to better yourself in some way. I find that if I'm going to be stuck with only myself I'd like to at least have myself be good company. And then with an attitude like that someone will come along and snatch you up for sure, inevitably.

[Varenne Rodin]

The guy who made the Kony video... Wow. Haha. Don't know where to begin. He's the CEO of the invisible children charity. He was in Pacific Beach today going absolutely bonkers. He claims to be a Christian and has two kids and says he wants nine more, so of course he's a sexual deviant. He was screaming and flinging his clothes off while running in the street. At some point he was naked and masturbating while vandalizing cars. Moving cars and parked cars. People tried to approach him, some tried to "help" him. He ran wild through the streets, screaming at people and waving and jerking his penis at them. He was still doing it when the cops arrived and took him to a mental institution. So glad I didn't give to that charity!

Its a really wild and weird situation born of my odd eccentric behavior and over-consumption of romantic poetry, but I sign up for facebook so I can message my childhood sweetheart and dream-girl-to-this-day who I haven't seen in two years a very long and heartfelt and incredibly candid message and she replies by asking me when my birthday is. Whether that's good or bad I don't know.

[Darcy88]

I'm thinking about this AWFUL nightmare I had last night. There was some kind of total break-down of law and order. I think it might have been zombies, I'm not sure, but in the dream I was at my mother's house along with everyone I care or have ever cared about, and I knew a great group of zombie-like people armed with guns were coming here to kill us all. In the dream I knew that my father's house a 20 minute drive away was impregnable, like a fortress, and contained a large cache of high-tech weaponry. But only I could get away to there, forced to stay with my friends and family and die with them or else abandon them to save my own skin. So I decided to stay and mount a feeble defence. We were all killed by these evil demons and that's when I woke up, but the dream seemed to last forever while I waited for the attackers to arrive, during which time I was in a pit of utter anxiety and fear, as for some reason I felt that the lives of us all were somehow totally dependent and under the complete responsibility of me.

Anyway, it sucked.

[Veho]

Occasionally sentences in Dickens's works make no sense to me.

"The summonses served, and his witnesses forewarned, the beadle goes to Mr Krook’s, to keep a small appointment he has made with certain paupers; who, presently arriving, are conducted up-stairs; where they leave the great eyes in the shutter something new to stare at, in that last shape which earthly lodgings take for No one — and for Every one."

I can't make heads nor tails of the part in bold.

Reserve work time for things that I already consider "work" - studying, banking, dealing with university red tape, ect. Then I can save all of my leisure activities (video games, cartoons, books) for home, so that they don't get tainted with that "work" feeling and I can enjoy them. Plan = made.

She isn't going to take it lightly. And it's annoying being not taken lightly for something you said while you were really sleepy and did not actually mean at all.
I tell her I romantically like a person who I only think of as a friend. A friend I really care for however but just thinking about the idea of having exaggerated about such a thing in front of my mother just to annoy/tease her is beginning to make me feel ashamed of myself.

SONNET 116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

I am terrible with punctuation. I have a close friend who edits all my writing. Somehow I have made it through all honors classes and two years of college without grasping proper comma usage, among other things. I believe I suffer from smart-kid-too-bored-to-not-sleep-in-class disorder.
Unfortunately, I now tend to place commas wherever I imagine a pause. I know its wrong, but when I'm writing to be published at least I have an editor.
I'm sure there are improper commas in this paragraph in which I discuss my poor comma use.
That is either ironic or similar to staring down a hall of mirrors. The fourth dimension has been breached.....

It is correct to say at one time that it is day and at another that its night. Both are true. Life is awesome but it also ****ing sucks.

[Varenne Rodin]

I am terrible with punctuation. I have a close friend who edits all my writing. Somehow I have made it through all honors classes and two years of college without grasping proper comma usage, among other things. I believe I suffer from smart-kid-too-bored-to-not-sleep-in-class disorder.
Unfortunately, I now tend to place commas wherever I imagine a pause. I know its wrong, but when I'm writing to be published at least I have an editor.
I'm sure there are improper commas in this paragraph in which I discuss my poor comma use.
That is either ironic or similar to staring down a hall of mirrors. The fourth dimension has been breached.....

Heh. I think I do the same thing at times. I like the way you write. It's conversational.

[Darcy88]

I like lit-net. I like drinking. I like lit-net after and while drinking. I like everything after and while drinking. No I'm not an alcoholic. Its 1 am on a Friday night/Saturday morning. And a person is allowed to get hammered alone immediately after breaking up with someone aren't they? So inappropriate for the internet or for anywhere. Hahaha. A drunk post I'll regret tomorrow. Awesome. I know its a bad idea and an embarrassment to click the submit reply button right now but I don't care, I just don't care. And now, for your enjoyment, a randomely selected assortment of kickass emoticons:

She wasn't even a Shakespeare fan. She didn't even like books. Someone says exactly what you want to hear and then spends three weeks 24/7 with you and even has dinner with you and your freaking mother and you might think maybe she'll be respectful and make you feel respected as a person. But no. I got played. At least I realized it and did something about it. At least I'm strong enough to have not desperately held on. Anyway. I'm good. Thanks for your show of interest and concern.

Very creepy. The machines tend to make the walls take on a hideous tone. There's no one there, except sometimes there is. I have a bit of a phobia of them, I think.

I'm curious. Is that your typical approach to punctuation? (this is not a criticism)

Ahhh laundry.

Get this: In college we used to get all our washing and drying for free because our resident manager hated the owners, who never made any effort to renovate/address his concerns. So when they refused to replace or fix the laundry machines, he had these push buttons installed to bypass the quarter slots! :smilielol5: He was awesome...

What a varied life we all lead on this earth! I've spent Easter alone apart from a friend whose mother died recently. She's just started to let the tears flow now and I'm thinking for every tear that drops onto my table, her load is lightened that bit more and while she cries, telling me I'm a really good friend I'm hoping a guy I know will send me another text to say he's thinking about me...

Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde, Bella and Edward, yes that couple too, have nothing on what I have with this girl I am with now. She is actually named after a Trojan princess in the Iliad. She is my intellectual equal. She is a darn good writer. Her views on love accord so totally with my own. We talked for 9 straight hours on the phone last night and were engrossed for every minute. And she looks like I designed her with a graphics program using for inspiration the most beautiful women ever painted by all the master artists. There is a God people and He loves us. There is such a thing as true love, such a thing as a soul mate. Fairy tales happen. A ****ing bullett to the head couldn't awaken me from this dream, because it isn't a dream. Its my life now.

[Delta40]

That there is a man who is just as excited about the things that excite me and he babbles the same language as if we were reading the same kind of book. Now that is amazing.

[Darcy88]

I put up with disrespect when I have to. When I have a choice I avoid it like its plague, fire, headache, blue balls, ect.

Part Nine
What is Noble?

257

Every enhancement in the type “man” up to this point has been the work of an aristocratic society—and that’s how it will always be, over and over again: a society which believes in a long scale of rank ordering and differences in worth between man and man and which, in some sense or other, requires slavery. Without the pathos of distance, the sort which grows out of the deeply rooted difference between the social classes, out of the constant gazing outward and downward of the ruling caste on the subjects and work implements, and out of their equally sustained practice of obedience and command, holding down and holding at a distance, that other more mysterious pathos would have no chance of growing at all, that longing for an ever new widening of distances inside the soul itself, the development of ever higher, rarer, more distant, more expansive, more comprehensive states, in short, simply the enhancement in the type “man,” the constant “self-conquest of man,” to cite a moral formula in a supra-moral sense. Of course, where the history of the origins of aristocratic society is concerned (and thus the precondition for that raising of the type “man”—), we should not surrender to humanitarian illusions: truth is hard. So without further consideration, let’s admit to ourselves how up to this point every higher culture on earth has started! People with a still natural nature, barbarians in every dreadful sense of the word, predatory men still in possession of an unbroken power of the will and a desire for power, threw themselves on weaker, more civilized, more peaceful, perhaps trading or cattle-raising races, or on old, worn cultures, in which at that very moment the final forces of life were flaring up in a dazzling fireworks display of spirit and corruption. At the start the noble caste has always been the barbarian caste: its superiority has lain not primarily in physical might but in spiritual power—it has been a matter of more complete human beings (which at every level also means “more complete beasts”).

Really?! the song is not really popular here, I haven't heard it but nobody is making a fuzz about it on the ice. I have to say though that every single year so many people are convinced we are gonna win and start thinking where to have it next year and are so surprised when we don't win!

I really like Iceland's song. The live performance wasn't as good as the music video, but since this year it seemed most performances were off-key, Iceland didn't do bad in comparison. (Plus I always like it when there's real music in ESC, not just half-naked dancers singing some brainless disco tune like Greece's Aphrodisiac...)

Euphoria wasn't bad, even though the show was a complete rip-off from The Memoirs of a Geisha :D I can't believe how Albania came in fifth - the singer looked deranged and her wails were so off-key (especially in the final) that listening to her caused me physical pain...

FWIW, Twilight being a fad on its way out, at some point (hopefully soon) he and you will be yesterday's news. I will submit, however, that standing in your driveway yelling threats to the world at the top of your lungs will not speed the process of fading into anonymity.

Meantime, you may as well try to cash in on "My Life As a Celebrity Lookalike." Newspaper/magazine articles, talk show appearances, whatever you can get. That would publicly display you as Not That Guy, and as a bonus let you promote your music and writing.

Otherwise, have you thought about simply changing your appearance, say to crew-cut and goatee? Easy, cheap, and while also a hassle you shouldn't have to deal with, it's much less of one.

Hahaha. That picture is three months old. I have since shaved my head and grown out my facial hair. It does not matter though. If I wear sunglasses I look like him and people freak out.

I won't "cash in." That would be pathetic. I am doing the opposite. I am staying away from the press. I am hiding. I'm an artist in my own right, a damn good one if you ask me, and I don't want to be known as the guy who looks like him. I want to eclipse him. And I will.

And FOR YOUR INFORMATION CALIDORE, I have received death threats. You don't know what its like to get stalked by all these people. Get off your high horse.
