Whoo! I'm not too late for the party, am I? *sees that the party ended rather over two weeks ago* ...Well then. That's problematic.

I have no suggestions whatsoever! If you hadn't noticed, mine has been the same for approximately always. This should show you my aptitude for avatar choosing abilities. That said, my username leaves me with somewhat less choice than yours...

Pretty much the same things happen over Christmas, yes, with one significant difference: I actually like the family that I see over Christmas (it's my dad's side, as opposed to my mom's.) Regarding embarrassment, I just try not to care, on the grounds that I never really see family, so I don't...

Well, watching a particular game is considered traditional, that game being football. I am not much of a fan... That said, there was delicious food aplenty, ranging from such traditional items as you had mentioned to considerably less standard fare. Almost makes up for having to tolerate family.

Apologies, I am indeed horribly busy. I just got back from an unpleasant vacation, in which I spent thanksgiving with family... Eugh. That said, it went somewhat better than expected. Not fantastic, but not by any means terrible. I have heard good things about khanacademy.com for knowledgable...

I hate that question. Whether one drives doesn't seem like it should be a fundamental part of one's identity, but it's certainly treated as such. I somewhat sympathise, because while I am of age to have my driver's license, I don't even have my permit yet. Not that I have a car I'd be able to...

I'm too young to vote, and I'm pretty apathetic toward Obama's victory. I'm not much a fan of either of the two main candidates, although I suppose I dislike Obama less. So, woo, I suppose. I have not read the book, but I just now put it on my kindle due to your recommendation, so I'll get back...

Whoops, it would appear that I missed the sacrificial bonfire. I would define myself as an atheist. While I don't think the existence of a god can be disproven (unless you give the god specific attributes, i.e. the abrahamic god,) I still have fairly firm belief that one does not exist. An...

I find myself agreeing with what you've said. I mean, I feel like a given church behaves more like a business than anything. I don't have a problem with a given person being of a given religion, as it could not be less of my business who/what you choose to worship. However, and I'm not exactly...

I noticed the thread some time ago, and was surprised that it's still active after so long. (I was also a teeny bit starstruck, being in a conversation with the person who started such a thread) You might not feel it solid enough to post in the thread, but perhaps you would enlighten me with...

Meat is delightful. At some point or another, though, I intend to go vegetarian for one year. But that's really just for kicks. I love animal bits far too much to forsake them for much longer.

Well, the universe imploded and then time stopped. You then leave nothing but my response to fill the resulting void. That's rather a lot of pressure I'm now under. ~~~ ...I recently had some delicious meatloaf.

Cheers! *I drink then drinks a drink, and then the universe implodes.*

I rarely leave my desk chair anyway, so it's just as well. (No need to hide it; we all know Guinness is delicious.) (Social contact is delicious as well.)

Indeed, the forum should forgive such a pseudo-intp member. However, it is entirely up for debate as to whether that particular pseudo-intp will forgive a given beverage for a busy week spent in his (astonishingly cozy) attic. (Really, though, whoops. I do not do this intentionally, I'm just...

That's frighteningly relevant. I have horrific, large, wide, crooked, hairy hobbit feet. So, I wear flip flops all the time to show them off to the world at large (I actually just really hate socks.) Over three years ago, I bought some sandals for twenty bucks at some convenience store on a...

What can I say? I'm a hooligan. A fascinating anecdote. I don't think that is a matter of concern for me, though. White pines are all over the damn place. ...I think so, anyway. If they are not, you may now be talking to a fugitive.

Canadians indeed. O_O Anecdote requested, good miss. And it was perfectly legal. It was a white pine in somebody's back yard, which they were paying us to remove. A friend's dad was doing most of the work, and he does various tree related shenanigans for a living. This was just a small job on...

This is just sounding better and better... If ever I am randomly struck with severe wanderlust, I'll be mucking about on coastal Canada. In unrelated news, I felled a tree recently. That was fun.

I've always thought Canada sounded delightful. I'm no stranger to cold, living where I do. My only complaint is that summer is too long. Rain is nice, and grizzly bears are quite soft, or so I've heard. TO THE CARNIVAL!

If you're ever bumming about Minnesota in August/September, call me up, as our Renaissance Festival is fantastic. That holds for you, too, stranger reading this conversation! I may not know you, but I would happily spend a day at ren fest with you! Forgive me, as I'm sure it doesn't make your...

First, forgive me my tendencies to be redundant. I seem to have mentioned the "hard classes" bit in both a PM and VM. ...It would be standard for me to ask you how your courses are, now that you know, but if I did so it would be yet another redundant thing. So, I'll avoid that. But still, I'm...

I wasn't quite done posting. Damn you, 1000 character limit! Anywho, what I was gonna say: I took basically every hard course I could this year. It's going to be rather butts. Assuming I don't crack under the stress and start thinking I'm a toucan, though the two years after should be...

Congratulations on that beautifully long post. Really, great stuff. ...I'm gonna need to use a list to organize this one. edit: Because apparently quotes can't be used in a visitor message, you get spoilers! [SPOILER] Absolutely I do. Pretty much all small talk with people I don't particularly...

I have no idea what these responsible things are, but they are apparently things of great import, as I'm constantly told to hold on to my money in their name. My main regret is that I have not yet designed a machine to let me reverse/stop/slow time, and that because of this my summer is ending...

I must resist the urge to buy things... Must save money for responsible things... ... Excuse me while I go buy obscene amounts of energy drinks.

When I was about twelve and younger, I always spent my money on books and games. It would be spent quickly, sure, but I still got enjoyment out of it. As of late, especially considering I've got a job, I've been buying "bigger" things that'll stick around. For example: A desk, chair, headphones...

I have not read Shogun, although it's currently on my Kindle in my "to-read" queue. Thank you, though, more book recommendations are always welcome. In other news, I finally got paid! Money is fun.

My sincerest apologies to your daemons, I forgot to inquire after their nature. I was rather distracted by my own chortling soon after remembering that feminist. She mentioned the domination of men in feudal Japan, and muttered something resentful about the shape of swords in general. I brought...

I'm too lazy to look up any specific videos, but I feel that mentioning Godspeed You! Black Emperor is obligatory.

He's doing quite well, and thanks you for asking. (Note if I haven't informed you before, he does not, strictly speaking, have a gender, being an immaterial being and all. For the sake of convenience, though, he prefers the pronoun "he".) I once told a feminist friend that and she started going...

Generally speaking, a given stoic isn't particularly amused by such things, and yet... Okay, I am fooling nobody. D'AWWWWW. ALL OF MY ETERNAL D'AWWWW.

Ow, my sanity... Quick, there is only one solution! Turn the conversation in a direction even more directly away than backwards! To the nearest significant warping of conversational spacetime, post-haste!

I'm absolutely baffled. I think I've spent a good twenty minutes on and off trying to see door hinges crushing an orange. Is there some clear symbolism I'm just too blind to see, sitting in plain sight? Is this an elaborate scheme, hatched by Nocturne, simply because she knew I would spend...

...I'm trying. I'm really, really trying. But I absolutely cannot see "door hinges crushing an orange" in (>.<)

I love math as much as the next guy, but generally speaking, symbols don't actually evoke a smile. Contrary to that general statement, due to the fact that I think you placed said symbols rather sillily (try saying that word, it's fun,) they did indeed make me smile. Anywho...

I never would have thought that a decimal point between 'greater than' and 'less than' signs would evoke such a wide smile as I currently bear. Bravo.

Knock knock. "Who's there?" *silence* "...Damn teenagers."

That, or we young ones will spit upon the legacy of generations past and muck up the place with our general incompetence. I can't wait. Note: I am wary of this splitting off into a third simultaneous conversation, but I felt that I shouldn't just leave your "Many thanks" unreplied to. So, here...

If I knew how to help you in this, I'd have helped myself, first. Sometimes the knowledge of those who browse this forum terrifies me. If it's not terrifying me, it's making me feel awfully unaccomplished. Note: I believe the word is "severificated".

I admit to not being overly familiar with french music, but that's wonderful. Makes me wish I could play the guitar, and tempts me to spend my savings on one. Gah... Why does everything always end in making me want to spend money?

NooooOOOoooOOOoo0000ooo... ...In retrospect, resolving to respond so ridiculously early in the morning seems to have had a negative effect on the creativeness of my responses. Although it seems it did a bit for my ability to alliterate. Go figure.

Happy More Belated Independence Day! I'd throw you red and blue patriotic missiles, but I happened to detonate all of mine. That aside, I looked into firework laws in my state and was rather surprised. It turns out that just the fireworks under my bed could get me a fine of $1,000. But it's...

My wide pancake of knowledge... I like it. A lot. That's going into my user thingymajig under my username. The one that currently says Hoopy Frood. My thanks for your contribution towards my coolosity, good miss.

Indeed I am familiar with the article, but that's because I'm obsessed with the site, not that I saw it on the forum. ...I am perhaps overly fond of jokes regarding genitals. In any case, I've read every article that comes out on that site for several years and many that came out before. (Who...

Hey, that's better memory of it that I'd have expected, given how long ago it was. (...How long was that, I wonder? I'm too lazy to dig it up.) I don't strictly subscribe to any specific philosophy, but I generally find myself agreeing with Epicurus. I don't believe there's any objective...

Perhaps I'll chuckle once they finish porting steam to linux?

I've actually been familiar for some time. I find it quite lulzy, and meant to get a sticker but forgot. What specifically would you like to discuss in regards to the Church?

Okay, I'll go so far as to say that the blame does not totally rest on you. [SPOILER]

Forgive me, but I cannot let a noticed mistake go uncorrected. "O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" is a line from the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll.
