    In answer to your question, no, I don't really like small talk. XD

    But Anthille locked it. :(

    And what's up with the moaning?

    Haha, it doesn't have to be elegant, just say you know me and I invited you there and that you came from these forums or something like that.
    NeverAmI
    Yes, go make an introduction thread.

    I did find the iTunesU and it IS SO AAAAAWESOME I already have a slew of Arabic courses and mathematical lectures downloaded!

    There goes the neighborhood! Nice job on the test. I have a TON of neatso apps on the ipod I found too. Been looking for neat podcasts. I will post that video after work, whatever time I get out, lol.

    OH! I watched a presentation on TEDTalks about how Hydrogen Sulfide is able to put mammals into a seemingly nearly suspended state. It cuts the body's demand for oxygen WAY down so it can preseve the body while waiting for help, an operation, etc.

    Currently it is in 2nd Phase of clinical testing and they are using it on newborns that aren't able to get enough oxygen and would otherwise die, REALLY interesting!

    Wow, that is awesome! I had a buddy show me jupiter through his telescope but I haven't actually viewed anything else! That sounds like it would be a really great time.

    I secluded myself over the weekend as much as possible, my roomies parents were there visiting him. I have been reading some nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It is amazing, enlightening, comical, and despairing all at the same time.

    I ended up having to work until 12:30am Sunday night and had a hard time getting to sleep both that night and last night so I am a bit restless. We have to work late tonight, a lot of extra hours which isn't ordinary, but there is a ton of work all at once due to the merger.

    There used to be a decent INFP forum (so I hear) but it went down for one reason or another. I was considering setting up my own, I have a VBulletin license that I am not doing anything with, but I have got too much other stuff going on to do anything with it right now.

    I definitely enjoy the INFJs forums. You should stop by! I have quite a bit of conent on there. I haven't been socializing a whole lot lately, I have just been trying to recharge with whatever free time I have.

    How have you been? How was your trip to LA???
    Mary
    Well, sometimes my "art" ends up being a dripping piece of paper that looks like it was washed in mud, so there's no real point in keeping it. :D
    Those tutorials are amazing. Sometimes I just watch photoshop edits on youtube so I can stare in amazement. Most people assume photoshopping is cheap and super easy, but it's really not. It's an actual art form.

    No, Disney is really not that redeeming to be honest, I completely forget that it is in my back yard whenever people bring it up. I personally like Fullerton much more, especially downtown, it has a very bohemian vibe. What part of OC do you live in?
    Mary
    I love drawing on the computer, but I lack a tablet so my "drawings" are not exactly "good". ;) Editing photos, however, is a passion of mine. Yay for photoshop~
    My IRL art can turn out very well if I get lucky. Most of the time, however, I end up tossing it.

    I've always wanted to go to LA. Would you actually get to look at the sun directly overhead at the observatory?
    Very, very fun!
    Mary
    I'm practicing 2 separate puppet shows for easter and I'm gonna get my dad to teach me trig. :D

    Oh, I HATE when I can't figure out what to wear. Most of the time my outfits are very relaxed so I don't have to think to much, but when there's a special occasion I freak. I spend most of my time consumed in art projects (which make huge messes) or on the computer (which makes considerably much less mess). Cleaning is just not a priority, ya know? What're you going to do when you're finished with household chores?
    Mary
    It is fun, but stressful. Thank goodness there's a person who cues me! Oooo, housework. The bane of my existence. Best of luck to you! I'll be cleaning my room and go off on a tangent so quickly it's disgraceful.
    Mary
    Good! I've been running around going crazy. I somehow got put in charge of our school's musical's lighting and it's been.. interesting.

    How are you? (Lovely avatar btw)
    NeverAmI
    WOW, that is awesome about the octopus! I had no idea they have that much intelligence! Now I REALLY want to interact with one. :D Do they see colors? That is sooooo coool. The temper sounds scary! Are their beaks dangerous?

    That sounds neat with the spot you found. I miss the ocean :( It is snowing right now. Not much new with me, just reading and work has picked up quite a bit. I have to work some this weekend and will be working late next week too. I'm not complaining though! It gets me more visibility w/ the company I want to get hired onto.
    NeverAmI
    I am turning you in for potatohead neglect! Looks like there is plenty of fun stuff to do on the west coast!
    NeverAmI
    Oh, good! I was referring to the orange peels eating Mr. Potato Man and the tragic loss of Ms. Potato Head's arm.
    NeverAmI
    Yeap, I slept for over 4 hours earlier. But I am going to go do some reading methinks.
    NeverAmI
    As you can see my facebook profile is nothing special. I don't spend much time on it, lol.
    NeverAmI
    Oh, the *one of them* was just a joke. I really like the INFJs forums, I still consider it my "online home."
    NeverAmI
    haha, I haven't joined that group. I was in the INFJ group back when I thought I was *one of them* :P
    NeverAmI
    FINE, I guess I will have to settle for you not making fun of me being an idiot on this particular instance. The problem is that there are so many other instances!
    NeverAmI
    It's ok, I can put the charge on your tab. I will need your soul as collateral, of course.
    NeverAmI
    Yea, I will send you the link, but it will have to wait until I am home from work. Good luck on the computer! Shoot me a msg if you run into more trouble.
    NeverAmI
    BLASPHEMY!

    Sorry... kinda anxious/jittery right now. J/K

    I typed in nova on http://video.google.com last night and found a whole bunch of their films on there. I felt like a kid in a candy store. I watched Genius Ape which talks about apes forming tools and actually creating culture/having fun. It also conrasted the difference between human and ape sociology. It was really good!

    There was another one talking about consciousness, our seneses, and our brain, I got part way through that one before falling asleep last night.
    NeverAmI
    For some reason, the day just doesn't feel right if I am not anxiety ridden and twitchy/jittery.
    NeverAmI
    Haha, I say interesting too much too.

    absorbing, engrossing, fascinating, gripping, riveting, entertaining, amusing, amusive, diverting, intriguing, newsworthy, exciting, stimulating

    Hmm, indeed

    Pictures maybe too!

    You don't take any caffeine at all? That is awesome! Do you just drink a lot of water or do you specifically get no caffeine in your drinks?
    NeverAmI
    The whole idea with polyphasic sleep is that your body adjusts to cut out all the crap phases and go straight into your delta wave sleep cycle, so you jump right into a restorative sleep cycle without a bunch of seemingly useless sleep in between. There isn't a lot of evidence as to the health detriments of such a schedule, some have done it for years and they claim to feel just fine.
    NeverAmI
    No! I'm not an addict! Why, you got some??

    If my avatar is any indication, I am a coffee FIEND! I am actually drinking some tea right now though. I have been making a lot of changes to my diet, actually. Less junk food, more exercise, stopped smoking, attempting to stop drinking (cut down the intake considerably), caffeine is my next step.

    In a normal day I could go through a couple bottles of Diet Pepsi and 4 or 5 cups of coffee.
    NeverAmI
    Wow, that sounds quite rough for sleep. I have been trying to cut out the caffeine which helps me some, the delta/theta binaural beats really help too. I do seem to sleep better when I have a healthy exercise routine going.

    This book might be good for exploring lucid dreaming.

    Have you ever heard of polyphasic sleep? I have REALLY wanted to try the uberman schedule. Interestingly enough I believe it was developed by sailors that didn't have time for regular sleep due to the demands.

    However, I am QUITE grumpy when I don't get enough sleep so I would have to be completely isolated over the times when I was adjusting to the schedule which can take weeks.

    I would also have to alter it a bit for sleeping during working hours. I woul have to do like a 30 min nap at lunch or something.

    I never even thought about sailing out at night, that would be soooo relaxing. I hear a lot about how hard working on a sailboat is, I wouldn't mind a good workout like that, I think.

    As for lucid dreams, the first step is getting steady and good sleep. Then you need to start recording your dreams, just generally becoming more aware of them, creating a better link. They say to write it down or at least think about it before moving when you wake up, they fade quicker after you move.

    The next step is to get used to asking yourself if you are dreaming during the day, that makes it more natural to ask when you are actually in a dream. There are other various checks and tricks to realize you are dreaming.

    Once you are able to identify you are dreaming, you have to control your excitement, which will wake you up. Strangely, they say feeling the roof of your mouth with your tongue really helps to keep you in the dream.
