Random Thought of the Day

this is my 112th post :brow:

Cake......

[Snukes]

I am 50.185% of the way through drafting the required length of my thesis!!!!

[Bongitybongbong]

And you did the math rather thanwrite your thesis...that's a job well done. :cool:

[Koa]

Some random thoughts:

I reached 2000 posts tonight.

I truly became shopping addicted. This is so sad. And it's getting expensive. And for the first time in my life I have too much choice about what to wear - I used to have just enough stuff... And I'm liking stuff which is in fashion and not even cheap...
I'm becoming more and more ordinary, let's face it. In some of my manners, even some of my ideas and tastes... I don't even think that deeply anymore, poems are a forgotten habit... Brain is totally gone. It makes me feel somehow old, somehow immature.

I'm still in doubt about plans for the summer...and even more in doubt about plans for the future in general. If I manage to concentrate on exams and final paper, I'll graduate in November...and then? I dont feel like studying more, but I dont feel like my education is complete...and I still want to travel and do student things, not settle down and get a job that would probably leave me no freedom... I might stop for one year and then start studying again if I feel like it, but starting again at 25 would mean being a student till I'm almost 30, and that makes me feel old. And I dont want to study here, I must find out if there's a way to get financial help to study abroad. Too many things to evaluate, the end of Uni is really a weird step in life, the end of certainties...

Exams, pfff... i'm so pissed off about one exam that is really ruining my plans and will cause me to have to struggle a lot to manage to do all the exams i want to do this session... And it's just an integration of one exam I did in Hungary but for the teacher here it wasnt enough... fair enough, shame that she gave me so much extra work that it ends up in making me work double... :mad:

End of randomness.

[ajoe]

Wow, I'm sort of the same, Koa. I think I've spent more money on clothes the last three months than the previous three years combined. I also must've bought 200+ books the same past three months, which is also more books than I bought the previous three years combined. Even though most of the books were used and cost 50-cents each, still... (I used to settle with books from the library.)

But I've made some resolution. Now that I have *enough* clothes in my closet and *enough* books to last till my retirement years, the next time I want to spend my money, I should think about the little kids in Africa and send some donations to them instead of wasting my money on things I mostly don't need anyway.

[Koa]

I hear you ajoe... I also think of all my travels and even if I often get things for as cheap as possible (be it journey ticket or a tshirt), it all adds up...

The randomness of today:
The real heat arrived...today was almost like august! Still a spring breeze is blowing so that in the shadow you can survive, but it's a real preview of summer... It makes me wish I am anywhere else... these past weeks have been so pleasant,I was hoping it was going to last a bit more :(

[amuse]

heat? lucky, lucky you!!! it was so frigid today that i became convalescent! trade?

*wonders if that's a bad idea, because someone's gotta have better weather to barter for than either of us! :p

[Jay]

DEAL!!! I take your frigid weather, you take the 30+C! *packs bags*
(should I tell you that heavy rains are expected from today on? But if it's gonna rain today I'll try my luck with becoming the first female pope :p)

[Monica]

It was something like 35 degrees today, and it took me over one-and-a-half hour to come back from university. And there were millions of people on the bus. I almost melted :( Next week the exam session sterts and I have 4 exams, one of which lasts 5 hours. I'll die if it doesn't get cooler.

[Jay]

SECOND that, Monica! It's the kind of weather that makes the flies (and others) drop dead in mid-fly. Today it does seem to be worse than yesterday, it's just UGH.

[amuse]

really like this blog: http://duanekeiser.blogspot.com/ - innovative and very pretty. i actually almost bid on a $100 postcard once! (very pretty, it was.) hm. weird that i never thought to use as desktop pic. anyway, i like the style, thought to share. :)

[Helga]

nice pics amuse....I'm gonna spend the night reading poems by Marlowe and continue my sadness 'cause of his early death.

[Nightshade]

So I assume Helga you dont belive that 'shakespear' and Marlowe are the same person??

[Taliesin]

We are going on our first LARP (live action role play) this saturday.
Weelaaah! We are very excited. We even have solved our clothing and transportation problems. Now there is only IG to think about.

Since the possibility that anyone here is going on the same LARP too is very small, we will give you infoabout our character. If you are taking part of it, don't read any further!Name: Taliesin. It is a celtic LARP. We are playing a bard. Our IG explanation to the name is that our father was also a bard and therefore named his only son after a legendary minstrel.
Age: 20 or 21.
The game focuses on a conflict between Vikings and Celts.
We are serving the king. Very loyal to him. And therefore we have done some things that the king may misunderstand - we have talked to a certain innkeepress and she has revealed her secret - she is gathering information and we are her eyes and ears in the court. To put it simple, we are spying for her. We believe she is up to no good and that someone (we) must know what she is up to. We have told the king about our suspicions, but he thinks that we are being paranoid (and OOG we agre with him)
So we are sortofa double-agent.
Also we hope that a merchant gives us some rare herbs that allow us to see the future. The old witch will be dead soon and we don't know whether her successor will help us perform the rite.
There are so many chances to do something wrong. Say the innkeepress is actually innocent and we are causing confusion. Say that she gives use a secret, but it is a false one andwhen we tell it to the king, they will understand that we were never on their side. Or say they trust us, but then the king finds out and misunderstands...
Or maybe the king is forced to abdictate and they come to power and perhaps they understand that we were never loyal to them...
And the innkeepress has had much much more LARP experience than we. She has a greater probability to outdiplomate us.

The only good thing is that bards have sort of a immunity. Bards are not allowed to be killed. (say when a commander would kill an enemys bard, his own men would kill him in shock)
But actually we are looking forward to it.

Random thought: seasonal allergies can feel very distracting while taking an exam. Somehow, Sneezy of the Seven Dwarfs and answering multiple choice questions do not mix.

Self-celebration moment for getting scarily high marks in 2 tests (one of Russian, one of French) I took in the past few days. I'm almost scared of myself. Shame that's just like 5% of all I have to do and doesnt count much... but it's good for the moral of the troops (my braincells ;))
----------------------------

Oops, I did it again. Unhealthy form of fascination for character recently met online, lots of fan in chatting, and even more unhealthy thoughts of meeting him in real life... Not good, I don't want to make illusions. (btw, he forgot my name... :rolleyes: ).
-----------------------------

More languages tests tomorrow. And on Friday. And next week.

"Recently met" -- Too soon! Too soon! Enjoy the fun, but let it remain fun for now.

Best of luck. I'm sure you'll do fine. :)

That's definitely the point! But sometimes mind wanders...aimlessly...

thanks for the good luck, i need lots in the next month of exams :) mostly to find the will to study...

Hey! That dwarf's giving me the finger!You'd prefer something else? Like... *thinks hard* Some chocolate maybe?

:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: my army poned a binch of guys today. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:Huh?

Klondike bars are good . . .

. . . but my daddy always warned me, "Son, beware dwarves bearing Klondike bars."

[Bongitybongbong]

Huh?
Sorry in kingsofchaos I poned a bunch of other people.

[Dyrwen]

I wonder if a raven could rap repaciously on riveted red roses of iron.

A bit too random.

[ihrocks]

That's definitely the point! But sometimes mind wanders...aimlessly...

So does mine! Constantly! Maybe I should get a leash for it? :D

[Koa]

i had a random thought this morning but i forgot about it now...

[GruesomeBugman]

it's been sunny here for the first time in 22 days, and I'm stuck working and on this computer.
I should take the afternoon off and go for a long walk.

[ihrocks]

Life is made better by a pet bunny.

[kilted exile]

Bunnies only look cute, they are in fact the spawn of satan. Sitting there quietly lurking at the back of their cage, then just when they've lulled you into a false sense of security they try to take a bite out of your ear.

[Koa]

like cats...they are EVIL!

[amuse]

:lol: Koa, i can't help it, this guy today said that at work, and it turned out two cats own him, he just wanted to see if he could get a rise out of anyone - course no one :D there loves Cats! :lol:

[Jay]

DOGS, all the way :p (they're not as difficult to own as horses :D)

[kilted exile]

DOGS, all the way :p (they're not as difficult to own as horses :D)
DOGS!!!! dogs are even worse, noisy creatures - always wanting walked, fed.
The solution is simple. Goldfish people. :D

[amuse]

The solution is simple. Goldfish people. :D

"Now," she pondered,"what would goldfish people look like?" ;) :p

good idea! amphibious and everything. :nod:

[GruesomeBugman]

o.O if we're talking about pets I say the best bet is some sort of lizard, and and all sorts of tarantula, scorpions, or beetles =)

[Jay]

Rats are cute!

http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org/articles/2004/03/31/rat_genome.jpg

[Taliesin]

You bet. Mice too.
Flowers for Algernon to that.

[GruesomeBugman]

I agree, rats and mice are enjoyable.

[Scheherazade]

Enjoyable how? Over dinner?

[GruesomeBugman]

I was referring to as a pet, but over dinner works as well =)

Random thought: interesting how different cultures, and/or sub-cultures, especially those connected through music, literature, etc., result in looking much like each other. Yesterday, having forgotten of a big event of an 80's band scheduled to play at a very large venue, I walked nearby toward a public-transit stop from my favorite coffeehouse. I have no intention of offending anyone, as even I like a lot of 80's rock, but never have I encountered so many mullets. :eek:

[ihrocks]

I wish I could afford a nice cup of miso so I could offer it to a friend.

[Nightshade]

Theme music... :lol: :banana: :banana: :banana: :lol:
And the Random themes for today was Trolls! :D
Can they smile? :) And if not wouldnt they make a great set of Queens guards?


WAIT :goof: :goof: hey have a queen The Troll Hag Queen of the great Nose........

hum must think..............

[amuse]

:) i have miso, ihrocks, i'll share with you so you can share with your friend, yes?

can we take a rain check on coffee; i had to work and it's now practically noon - 7:46 at night and just about to turn in.

hey Mono, is this guy a friend of yours? He's a hottie!!!

[Koa]

uh...just few months after swearing not to ever get too involved in internet friendships, tomorrow i'm going to a meeting with some people of a community i recently joined... life is strange, and me is weak :)

[ihrocks]

Best of luck. We aren't all bad you know. :)

[kilted exile]

Why when people phone to say they "are going to kill you" do they never stay on the phone long enough to be given directions?
Some dumb kid just phoned trying to put on a scary voice but when I began telling him how to get here he hung up.......don't think he thought it through really

[Koa]

All the people I've met from online to real life were from very good to great. Tomorrow will be just a coffee with a few people I don't even know very well online (but I promised some cds to one of them so I'll bring them), nothing too special... Maybe that's what scared me, I've only met really good people from the net... but I keep thinking of my friends from 'real life' judging me for it... :rolleyes:

If you're gonna do that, at least make it seem like you know what you are doing.

Random thought: On Wednesday I went to Hershey, and I'm now banned from the Hershey tour ride :rolleyes: :rolleyes:.....

[GruesomeBugman]

for my random thought, I shall ask a question.
Does anyone know who origionally wrote and sang that "ooh, what a feeling, what a ruuush" song? also,what's it called? It's been in my head all day, and I can't remember what it's actually called, and who it's by, so I can't get it =)

[Bongitybongbong]

would help but you weren't specific *tear*

[GruesomeBugman]

I don't know how much more specific I can be given my memory.
I think I found it though, by crowbar apparently. =)

[Bongitybongbong]

k...awesome

[GruesomeBugman]

indeed. Thanks for offering to help though.

[Bongitybongbong]

This might involve the p word sorry if it does but I need to vent.

Today I got in trouble during graduation practice for no apparent reason with a bunch of other "guys". We then had to write about what we "did". A friend Adam refused and a teacher got all pissing and it turned into some kind of thing about respect for America's soldiers and that you had to do this or that out of respect and that you had to salute the flag and that kind of stuff. I got to thinking of what the soldiers of the past died for, and I realized that the soldiers from long ago fought and died so we could have the choice to salute the flag or not. To do what you feel like not what is told (in the sense of you have to do this in honor of the soldiers). This pissed me off greatly because that teacher was really not being the one who honored those who died for us, and I dislike hypocrites.

[GruesomeBugman]

well mostly I'd agree, but in school it's generally accepted to do what you're told, else one could argue that you should do nothing and pass, because you chose to do nothing.

[Bongitybongbong]

that's a good point but I'm just tired of all of the people who think they know what is right for everyone when it just hurts everyone...and the hypocrites of this age make me so incredibly raged...it's just overwhelming how stupid the world is coming to.

[GruesomeBugman]

well, generally and as a whole I do have to agree. Society is going to hell in a hand basket.

[Maxos]

Soldiers do not die for anyone, soldiers just die

flags are coloured towels

I cannot believe that in american schools people's brains get so much "washed"

[GruesomeBugman]

a few good points =)

[Maxos]

Thank you my dear, I'm fed up with nationalism.

Even here in Italy, a country which has nothing to pe proud of (except ancient art), politicians are trying to restore it.

[GruesomeBugman]

ditto.
Frankly I'm all for pride, and I see nothing wrong with proudly displaying a flag as a sort of.. symbol of your country, but I believe it's gone to far and that everyone seems to be in competition, it's getting irritating, to say the least.

[Bongitybongbong]

well, generally and as a whole I do have to agree. Society is going to hell in a hand basket.
That's what I've been saying the entire time.


Soldiers do not die for anyone, soldiers just die

Yeah the schools are like that and if we don't do what they say, everyone becomes a Satanic figure.

[GruesomeBugman]

that's basically the way it works in most public schools.

[Bongitybongbong]

yeah well what can you do

[GruesomeBugman]

your work, get out of there, get a good job and knock some hats off -_^

[Bongitybongbong]

well I'm gonna be outta the hellhole in one week...I'm one of the brightest inthe school without trying and I'm gonna make sure I'm heard one day

[GruesomeBugman]

if you can be heard, you should be heard.

[Bongitybongbong]

if only my schoool heard that

[GruesomeBugman]

tell them, then they've heard it.
What they choose to do once they've heard it is a whole other kettle of fish.

[Bongitybongbong]

Thanks...and I bid you farewell and goodnight.

[GruesomeBugman]

so long, thanks for the raising my post count, and entertaining me for a while.

My most recent ethical dilemma: suffer from the torturous seasonal allergies that I cannot avoid since my former prescribed medication my health insurance removed from the market - or - feel unbelievably drowsy from OTC anti-histamine medications.

Decisions, decisions . . . :mad:

[Jay]

Your medications help? Sister's allergic (pollen, hay and all that spring/summer stuff) and not even the injections worked, pills were more like sweets (as in no effect) and eye drops were just nasty, not helping any as well.

[Nightshade]

Can you see the little people?

[Bongitybongbong]

so long, thanks for the raising my post count, and entertaining me for a while.

This reminded me of a story I heard in college. It came from a professor, so I have no reason to doubt it. A young man at my high school (years before I attended there, which was roughly 150 years ago) experienced a similar situation at his graduation practice. He decided he didn't need to graduate after all, and the offending teacher was sure he would amount to nothing without his high school diploma. In all the years before and since, no graduate from my high school has ever achieved any sort of notoriety. But our most famous non-graduate is that young man....playwright Sam Shepard.

[Maxos]

A question for Mono (obviously everyone can answer):

What do you mean with "health insurance"?

[Jay]

Hey Maxos, not too sure if this link (http://www.healthinsuranceinfo.net/) is going to help you any but I guess I'll let someone more friendly with explaining explain it to you :)

[Maxos]

Thank you.

[mono]

A question for Mono (obviously everyone can answer):

What do you mean with "health insurance"?
Sorry, I know this term, 'health insurance,' sounds very strange in its literal phrase.
Health insurance works strangely similarly to vehicle insurance or home insurance. Basically, a common person with health insurance pays a base amount of money (usually monthly) for coverage of seeing doctors, nurses, receiving medications or vaccines, and, though costing a little more, covering also visits to emergency departments and urgent care centers.
During any doctor's visit, however, there usually requires a small initial "co-pay," which costs way less than not having health insurance and asking for any health care.

random thought of the day:

Wild boys never lose it
Wild boys never chose this way
Wild boys never close your eyes
Wild boys always shine

[Bongitybongbong]

I'm not losing my luster...ever.

[mono]

A night out with the girls is better than a bottle of Prozac.
I could not agree more. :nod:
As a (hopefully) future nurse, I cannot place more emphasis on maintaining a healthy atmosphere, learning productive coping mechanisms for stress, and, overall, eating healthy over the overwhelmingly in-demand need of psychiatric medication (not, however, doubting those who really need it, of course).

[Bongitybongbong]

Flashback to 8th-grade graduation dance...me in my shiny danskin wraparound disco skirt...middle of the dance floor thinking I'm looking cool....glance down..."wraparound" has come undone and my skirt is slowly making it's way to the floor...enough adolscent embarrassment to last me until I graduated college!

Annoying Things That Couples Say

By Michele Bender

Know how coupled-up folks just looove to make "helpful" remarks to single folk, like "You're just too picky"? Here's how to respond to their most irritating comments.

Sooner or later, it happens to all of us who are free agents. You're hanging out with members of the paired-up set, and you end up on the receiving end of a possibly well-intentioned but most definitely annoying comment about your single status. Sure, you can just seethe in silence. But if you'd like to reply, we're happy to help: Here, some comebacks, courtesy of top relationship experts...and one comedian.

Annoying couple comment #1: "So, how's the single life? Been on any wild and crazy dates lately?"
Shut-them up answer: "Why are you wondering? Looking for a vicarious thrill through me?"

—Dr. Lillian Glass, psychologist and author of Toxic People

Annoying couple comment #2: "There are so many great single people out there—maybe you're being too picky."

Shut-them up answer: "Yeah, you're right. It's just I have these things called standards."

—Matt Iseman, comedian

Annoying couple comment #3: "You can't expect to meet anyone if you aren't getting yourself out there! Have you gone to singles' events? Tried tennis? Talked to a matchmaker or something?"

Shut-them up answer: "You're absolutely right. But it's difficult because I'm shy/busy/fill in the blank, so if you know some single men/women, introduce me!"

—Dr. Lillian Glass

Annoying couple comment #4: "You're so lucky you're single—so much freedom, independence, etc..."

Shut-them up answer: "You're right. We give up a lot when we get married."

—Laurie Puhn, lawyer and author of Instant Persuasion: How to Change Your Words to Change Your Life

Annoying couple comment #5: "You don't need to worry—you're a guy. Men get better-looking when they're older and can have kids at 70."

Shut-them up answer: "Good point. My wife might not even be born yet."

—Matt Iseman

Annoying couple comment #6: "You dog, you! Tell me about your latest exploits."

Shut-them up answer: "Oh, but I can't. They're all X-rated." (Add a smug smile for maximum effect.)

—Gilda Carle, Ph.D., relationship expert and author of Don't Bet on the Prince! How to Have the Man You Want by Betting on Yourself

Rites are dangerous things to do.
We, for instance, did a rite (ok, had a witch to do it to us) on the celtic-viking larp to see the future, but, alas, the future was dark and we went blind and started hearing voices.

my random thought today was...

...I want to be a man. I've decided a long time ago that in my next life I want to be male... for 2 reasons: one...you can imagine :D, the second is because I costantly wonder about how men feel friendship....I mean friendship between men. But today i was feeling that I was bored of being a woman, and reason like a woman, and not knowing how it really is to be a man and have male friends, and not being good at driving ;) and at technical stuff, and doing things in a more free way because in some cases men are allowed to... Maybe it means that really there is no equality... or more probably it's just my newest paranoia....

Guys really do most things in ease...we feel that if we try we've done good. Male friends usually just hang out, borrow cd's and other things, at times wrestle just for the censored of it, and the guys talk about X-rated stufff...alot. Unless it's for the future (report that will make or break graduating in turn breaking a making it much harder to fend for yourself and future family), it's more relaxed.

Random thought for today - why did my ancestors go so far up north? It´s summer here - the sunniest place in Sweden today has 60,8 degrees F, the coldest 39,2 F.
In southern climates people go to the beach, the men wear little clothing, the sun shines.... Why , oh why did some people in the dawn of time decide to go as far up north as they could, and then stay there?

Dearest Koa,

If you would like to know how it feels like to be a man, you don't need to go the whole nine yards and change your gender... Simply try doing these:

bored of reasoning like a woman >>>>> stop reasoning all together because you know that you have to be right... you are a man after all!

not knowing how it is to have male friends >>>>> grab a beer, grunt, cough, nod, smirk, snicker and make 'uhm, yeah...' sounds while chatting with your friends (scatching unbecoming body parts every 5 mins is good too)

not being good at driving >>>>> stop asking for directions (claim you know a short cut or trying to avoid traffic jams if you get lost), ignore traffic rules whenever you can, shout at people who go at speed limit for not going faster and keep changing lanes in the hope that it might take you wherever you are going 2 minutes quicker.

not being good at technical stuff >>>>> glare at instructions/manuals for 3 minutes and then throw them aside because you know it better (you are a man, remember?) and then spend the next 2 days to assemble a bookshelf (even though the manual claims it should not take more than 45 minutes. What do they know, anyway? Schmucks!)

doing things freely >>>>> disregard the expectations of others from you and assume that you are the centre of the universe and people are simply there to make life easier for you (this would also include social expectations such as showering regularly and being clean over all etc). Also, keep reminding yourself that your needs/wishes are more important than others' so watch that programme on TV rather than calling your friends! They have to understand! You are, after all, a man!

[Jay]

Ohhh, this looks like it's gonna be interesting, coke and popcorn comes to mind...

to stay on the safer side... it works for the stereotypical male

I muchly agree with all what Scher said.

[ihrocks]

And Koa, as you grow into an older man remember to:

treat your car better than you treat your children.

set up rifts between your mother and your wife and then proclaim "I'm not taking sides."

listen intently to whatever rerun is playing on TV Land while tuning out your wife and children.

Shout at the sporting event playing on TV as if the players can really hear you but make your wife ask you everything three times before you answer.

Remember, life isn't about what's best for your family -- it's all about you! You do what you want and then let your wife clean up the mess.

Never apologize! You're the man!

Wow! That was therapeutic!

[kilted exile]

On the subject of being a man.........

There are some ways that being a man is great (Scher mentioned most of them :D ), but we have social pressures tied to us too.

Firstly, why is generally taken as the man's responsibility to approach the woman? Do you enjoy watching us stumbling over words, trying to sound witty and intelligent, & then make a fool of ourselves?

Why do men have to pay when you go on a date? especially if I eat next to nothing, and the date forces food into her mouth like there is no tomorrow?

Why do you expect us to be able to fix things? Some guys I know cant do a thing, however they pretend to able to to fit society's idea....this is how most DIY projects end up failing (it's not that they dont want to follow the intructions - they in fact cant understand them!)

By the way, Scher missed one thing off her list:
When asked a question ..... never admit to not knowing the answer, this is especially true to when being given directions. Even if you have never heard of the place smile confidently and launch into a rapid speech (using hand gestures) insisting on a lot of left and right turns and approximate distances. If you can use bars or sport arenas as identifying landmarks.

LOL guys, I'm wordless with laughter...

Just a few comments... ihrocks, I dont want to be a man with wife and children... I just want to be a guy in his 20s...so Scher's advice actually fitted better...

Kilted well... I dont know why I assume it's a man who should do the first step (when I'm female that is ;)) but I'm absolutely bored of doing it myself!!! As for paying, well I dotn know but it feels good, at a first date at least...then I'd feel guilty about letting the guy pay at 35th date... (notice my use of the conditional tense).

Sometimes I joke about being a 'manly woman'... I mean, apart from my inability with driving and parking, and my inobservance (so far :D) of Scher's rules, I'm more male than any girl I know... I have to approach boys instead of being approached, I'm not afraid of coming home alone even when it's dark, I travel alone, I go to the toilet alone :D ... But sometimes I see a bunch of boys and I wonder how it'd be to be one of them... it's not so much about equality anyway, but it is really a question of how it feels...

Nightshade, thanks for the best wishes for exams, I did pretty well today as well :D Well maybe mostly cos the teacher loves me cos I was the only one bothering to go to her lessons...

[baddad]

eh-hem!!

Being a man is THIS!!!! being a woman is THAT!!!! Heheheh.....I laugh in your general direction........Ha!!!

You guys (.......hehehe) are completely off of the mark. Sure, there are men (and women) who are not only the template for what the media and social structure dictate as typical gender, but one or two people that each of us knows personally are probably THE idyllic worst examples!!!!


This is what a man really is: thoughtful, kind hearted to the needy and marginalized, generally hard working, fun loving, funny, creative, soft hearted underneath the cool facade, seeking enlightenment because of a need to understand deeper meanings-as a reason to exist, expanding horizons as opportunities present themselves, a bit of a risk taker, lover of poetry-flowers-sunsets-beer-fine wines-good food, continiously widening circle of friends, champion of children, a good cook, hygenic,fixer of ANYTHING needing fixing (at least willing to try), admitter of personal faults, frisbee throwing-golfing-softball-volleyball-playing good sport.....and I will continue if prodded.........

But really, I could be listing qualities of either gender.

And pointing out the extremes of any contrast of view is counterproductive.....it really only enhances and perpetuates the very things we are trying to eradicate on this little blue ball we call home. Except for the most worse examples of humankind, men and women are not all that different from each other. It is only the expounding on the obvious differences, and pointing out what each gender sees as flaws in the other that creates the fog of misunderstanding occasionly disrupting a clear view of each other......

To precive reality objectivley must we then be distanced from it??
Interesting question, Nightshade. Can a human necessarily perceive objectively, in the first place? Perhaps by perceiving something from multiple perspectives (in an analytical and holistic manner) would get one closer to objectivity, as you asked "be distanced from it," but, as Immanuel Kant and Rene Descartes would reply, the senses have many faults, and as one person would distinguish red and orange, a color-blind person would call them the same. Could one conclude that red and orange have a difference, a color-blind person not have the same quality of perception, or that no difference between any colors exists?
Strange, strange, strange. :confused: Oddly, like you, I question the same too often.

[Nightshade]

Maybe what I think is orange you think of as green!

I just want to say I have sooo found my favourate quote ever

------------------

why can't I stand the thought of my sort-of-ex having a girlfriend? maybe cos even as much as he liked me i'm too insignificant to find anyone, and as much as i didnt like him that much, he has plenty of girls... i think i lost count... it all boils down to my old companion called envy i guess... it's weird, i havent talked to him for ages and felt better than ever, and just a short conversation about some problems i had with pc left me so depressed... as depressed as when i had him...

it was nice to have a computer genius at my disposal though, i always had someone to solve my problems... i guess i'll learn to do that by myself as well, as i've learnt to do anything without the help of a man (it was a long-distance relationship anyway).

and why there is noone on messenger when you want to talk?
