Exactly. How can I not smile? :3

Hi Puffy! I quite enjoyed talking to you last year, I hope you're well :) INFJ now, I see?

Another latecomer to the conversation. But ah well. The head of the Neuroscience department of my school was talking about this exact issue. He too said that the MD will be pretty unvaried. "Glorified car mechanic," he called them. You can do research as an MD, but keeping up with the latest...

Erik Satie was the baddest of the BAMFs.

Antioxidant superfruit fad (Acai. Jesus christ. Has anyone even actually seen an acai berry?) Frozen yogurt fad. 4chan. Youtube poop. Trolling. Tumblr. Bros. Hipsters. I like to appreciate this decade for the details in its microcosmos.

The Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Currently on the 7th volume of Preludes and Nocturnes.

I wish more horrible movies were actually as entertaining as that. Most that I've seen are such bores (The Room and Naked Lunch, anyone?)

^________^ forget someone as ubiquitous as you? Do not speak such nonsense.

Neuroscience with a minor in Linguistics. Haven't taken any Ling classes yet though. I get to work in a lab learning how to run programs for imaging fMRIs next semester. Hell. Yes.

Have you perchance seen Troll II?

YESSSS. That's where my username comes from (initially heard the Agalloch song and then watched the movie). I ended up doing a research paper for college on T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" and "The Seventh Seal." Personification of death and meaning of life, etc. Last movie I saw was Martian...

I AM ATTRACTIVE, THEN :mad:

Thanks man :) Yeah I just came back this morning and browsed for quite a while, thinking about what a good forum this is. Seriously. It's not until one goes to other forums that it becomes apparent how hard some INTPs try to be "hard." People are natural here. Anyhow thanks, I look forward to...

Hey shoeless :) I've been gone from the forum for almost a year so it's cool to see you're still around. Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Perhaps I will post a new video this month as well. How's Germany?

This looks like something that would show up on an asofterworld strip. Yes. And it's strange how even when looking back in an attempt to find reconnection, present circumstances still make it difficult to reach each other. Still distant.

Yeah. I will meet a new person and even if I somehow keep the weirdness under wraps for a bit, it will invariably come out. I think it's because of my immaturity- I see most people as incredibly boring or stupid, so I counteract it by being completely obnoxious. :3

I love my parents but we're not particularly close. The things I talk about or take interest in are bizarre to my mom. They creep her out. My dad is pretty overbearing. He thinks any interests I have outside of school (and by school I mean science and math) are bullshit. Hoping this improves...

Seasonal Affective Disorder? Perhaps seeing one emo thread serves to encourage more emo threads by way of making one feel less uncomfortable about emotions they would otherwise try to ignore? Insert emo: I hate paperwork and filling out financial profile shit. It angers me very much and it is...

Absolutely. I came to the realization that I feel most stagnated and stifled when I am forced to be still. There are moods I sink into where I simply exist, though there's a vague sense of really wanting something but I don't know what. Getting in a car and looking out the window seems to be the...

Hey Puffy! I apologize for not replying to your December 2nd message. It appears you posted it on your wall so I didn't see it :p But yes, I love the Pixies! The favorite album I own of their's is probably Bossa Nova. Even if Kim Deal isn't as prominent on this one, "Digging for Fire" makes me...

Does anyone else find it impossible to listen to some music because a friend got to it first? A friend of mine is currently telling me to listen to a certain artist. When I listen to this artist I can't disentangle the association of my friend with the artist. I imagine his experience...

Their name comes from LOTR so I was reminded XD. Oath Bound it is then! I've only got Minas Morgul and a few songs from other albums. Seriously, the way they layer the sounds is subtle but lends to such an enormous sound, love it.

I've always been terrible with sports (I was the kid that sat out of soccer games to read my animal encyclopedia), but I love impulsive physical activities that sort of come about, like running.

I liked your story, Irish, and I doubt anyone would here would find themselves too far removed from this situation. I can't think of any specific examples but usually if I get a compliment it's on my outfit. I compliment other's clothes easily if I genuinely like what they're wearing. So if...

Wearing my Enslaved shirt right now XD. "The Fall of Gil-Galad" by Rivendell is the most epic song ever. Speaking of Tolkien, Falls of Rauros and Summoning are rad. Deciding which Summoning album to get next.

Folk metal is probably my favorite metal subgenre. Týr, Primordial, Myrkgrav, Månegarm, Korpiklaani are great too. Primordial doesn't have the obvious folk sound as some of the others but they have a lot of folk themes so I count them. I recently found Falkenbach, which really folky and has no...

"From Below" by the Fall of Every Season: 80 But I'd use that song to fall asleep to so I've drifted off with it playing all night on a couple occasions. So more legitimately: "We Have a Map of the Piano" by múm: 59

Nostalgic shoegaze/"black metal." Leans heavily on the shoegaze side, though. Niege's other projects are good, from what I've heard of them, and he should have a new album coming out sometime this month. Anthile, holy shit good list. Laughing Stock is so beautiful. Now I must check out Ascent...

I just sent you a lengthy PM about classical guitar. Hopefully it went through and didn't send twice XD

I think it's already been well said, no matter what, you will think the "other option" better at some point. Find some way to work the two options together, perhaps? How you define "influential" or "simple" or whatever is important. Will you influence other people? To what extent are you willing...

^ to bluesquid: Well that's not really the point, is it? While some art looks like a total joke, I trust that the artist had some sort of intent behind creating it. Seeing a piece of someone's mind manifested into a medium is always fascinating to me. Whether it is aesthetically pleasing or not...

Bah, reading that was terrible. Really affecting and tragic. I agree with Chimera in that reading the Haiti accounts doesn't do much for me. Meanwhile, my mom is next to me on the couch, her eyes wet, shaking her head and gasping. Makes me feel like a bad person. I've read that chimps can...

This. GAWD I wish I didn't have such a large Pness. I am procrastinating right now, in fact.

Ah, I see. Then yes, it is the beauty and also the clarity of that beauty. Kind of like listening to a song over and over til you hate it, I guess. I don't want it to become muddied. I saw the film twice and with the second viewing I was starting to get inklings of annoyance at how things played...

It's just kind of exhausting I guess. In the case of a few films it is beautiful, because the emotion incurred made me start thinking about my own life, my choices, where I'd end up, etc. It's like being let in.

Ah, well that makes sense. "Merz" + "bow" (apparently the Japanese word for building?). Pornography, or the act of sex? Pornography, one could argue, is more crude and taboo and is therefore more analogous to noise. But sex is more reptilian in a sensory sort of way, I think, so it seems a...

32. Apparently I do better when depending only on the eyes (scored fairly low on the spot-the-fake-smile test).

Old people. I can't stand it when people make rude comments about sweet old people or take advantage of them. They seem so helpless and it makes me feel like the nicer world that they (probably didn't) used to know has disappeared. But that's only if I have seen the old person in question. The...

Fear of failing. It can be pretty debilitating.

Octopi are my favorite animal. Rah rah Team Octopus! I like the arctic fox, though I can see the turtle as being a bit more suiting. Depending on how socially skilled one is, the arctic fox may be a bit too graceful.

I've teared up at movies, but only one film has ever induced the type of crying that involves vocal cords: Farväl Falkenberg. It's probably because I related to the main character so much. He was really thoughtful and missed his childhood and how things used to be. Very sensitive. I could see a...

Love your avatar, is it Edward Gorey?

I have never played Final Fantasy! Nor any other videogame, really, save the oldschool gameboy games such as Mario and Kirby. Strange minds are the best kind, you know.

Aye, nothing wrong with the Explorer. I think it's quite fitting for me- just got back from driving around a secluded part of town by the mountains. I like exploring washes too. Classy. The spiritual part seems a bit skewed though. I just like going to beautiful places, it can be very intense. I...

I chose mine on the basis of atmosphere too. And meaning as far as my interests go, but emphasis on atmosphere. This is the only one I've had so far though. Da Blob: Frankenstein's monster as the modern Prometheus as opposed to Frankenstein himself? Like the creation now has some control over...

Ha yay that makes me feel somewhat special. One of my friends really likes Merzbow and has been talking about him nonstop. I imagined it being spelled the way your username is spelled, actually. I don't understand the draw to it though. My friend tells me it's the intrigue of not comprehending...

That's like saying oregano is the East Indian saffron of the world. I wonder where that puts Irish women, then X-D

Srsly, celery is the scourge of the vegetable world. Try Green Giant microwave veggies. I love them and eat probably 3 or 4 weekly. I am probably ingesting tons of chemicals in the plastics under the guise of being "healthy" but they're worth a try. Also, have you tried edamame? Soybeans. You...

Do you by any chance like Merzbow?

I've been looping "Gloria in D: II. Et in Terra Pax Homnibus" by Vivaldi (Academy of Ancient Music recording) for the past half hour. Really elegant and beautiful.
