I do that too, although only with ones I think are cool. They're on my computer, though, not the tiny one I'm using now, so I don't have them ATM. *sniff* Just remembered something: I also tend to recognise people by their signatures, if they have them, because this screen is so small: I scroll...

Oh, god. Constantly, if I'm not in public. Sometimes, I will even though I'm in public: that's about the only halfway interesting use of a cell phone in my life. Geerally, I have 'debates' wirth myself: if a subject has interested me, I make an effort to internalize the information by debating a...

You'll like me, then. Or,at the least, I won't confuse you. :p I haven't changed my avatar since i picked it, and I behave similarly on other fora I frequent--mainly because I have the same problem to a milder degree. I just get a little disoriented: I don't recognise the person for a while, or...

When I get my real computer back, I will make the smiley. It'll be too much fun to resist. :D (This one crashes if I open a word processor; I don't want to set it on fire by trying to create an animated gif.) When it's not horrible anymore, I will let you read it. No worries!

Oh yes, that would be a wonderful smilie for NaNo winners. That and a smilie with an intravenous drip containing pure caffeine, rocking back and forth on his heels singing nursery rhymes to himself, while plotbunnies slowly marinade his head in barbecue sauce. I won too, Zero! Look at my sig...

Cog has the Power of Heart:

I would like to expand upon this for one of my own opinions: ALL words derived from txtspk. Or chtspk. I don't think the co-worker I mentioned earlier (who overuses 'seriously' would annoy me half as much if she didn't pronounce it 'srsly'. I didn't even think the human larynx and mouth were...

*comes back, ears pricked* Huh? Really? *walks over to Jesin* Well, isn't that nice of y-- *flies upward, caught by a simple, primitive snare trap* *whimper* Waaaa! :( I'm gonna get assimilated! Unless.. I lay a trap of my own! Muahahahah! You know you can't resist!:evil: *wriggles* Come on...

Yeah, we'd get along great. We'd never talk to each other... ever... and neither of us might even realise the other one exists at all. But generally, we'd get along just fine. Reading silently on opposite sides of the room, while listening to internet radio through headphones again...

Ummm... buy a load of beer/spirits/cider and hope everyone gets too pissed to realize how awful my party-planning skillz are? :o No, if this is for a friend, it demands the ultimate sacrifice: interpersonal communication. :eek: :storks: Which is to say, I find two more people : one of whom...

Uh-oh. Maybe I should have been a little bit more... eager to help Cog. *runs like heck before she gets cute-ified*

*gasp* :hoplit10:Don't worry, Cog, I'm coming!-- *takes one look at Auburn* Well... Hmmm. Yeah, actually, screw it. You're doomed. You're doomeder than a cripple in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. I'm not even looking at you, or I'll probably get a glimpse of the Adorableness and be...

*laughs* That happens to me a lot too. I've actually begun wondering if I have any opinions ayt all or if I'm just capable of defending almost any position I'm given, and I've adopted some of my arguments as things I officially 'think'. Like I stamped them with an official wax seal or something...

Ummm... yeah, I'm really bad about that. I don't do anything I need to do-- although I raw often, I've produced very little recently that's worth sending into a college as part of a portfolio that I need to get a scholarship so I can actually attend said college. I can never get up early enough...

On track, with two hours/~1500 words to go (I use Openoffice, which is more generous with its word counts than NaNo's validator is, so I overshoot from the perspective I have right now. And to think, when I woke up yesterday I only had 35k written. :evil: Woot! EDIT: Look down. :balance: We...

For me, generally...I just like the aesthetic of traditional (and stop-motion, although there isn't much, if any, stop-motion anime) animation in general, so liking anime was a natural thing for me to wind up in. Good anime tends, in comparison to a lot of western shows (not just animated ones...

Uh... forgive me, Chime, but I was under the impression that that's what school was: I never saw it doing much of anything else. If there is any vocation that school prepares you for, it's factory and office work:wear what we tell you, come in when we tell you, eat when we tell you, leave when...

I had the same feeling, except applied to all of school itself, not just the tests. The crit. reading section does seem like the easiest of the three. It's hard to know what's wanted in the essay section ( I generally (for the SAT and Leaving Cert English) just take the opposite point of view...

I'm going to join the ranks of those who love texts, IMs, email and twitter. Look, I can say something without having to actually TALK! And I don't have to worry about no-one listening, because it will stay there, until the intended recipient comes along to read it! Communication through those...

1: Depends on the thief-- is he between the woman and me or not, how big is he, how fit/strong does he look, how fast can he run, does he look like he has any weapons. In addition to that the crowd plays a part. In the end, if I thought my odds were good against him, I'd go after him. If not...

Good plan. I'll start re-writing in January, I think, and spend December working on drawing one comic (the one I'm scripting and laying out now) and scripting/laying out another one. That book just needs to rest for a while... There are so many plotholes.

Somewhat. It's the idea of diminishing one's own responsibility for one's actions -- and the main groups generally held unaccountable for their actions are very young children and animals. Nice to know that's how the government sees us. It also sets up a state of dependency, which I suppose is...

Is it just me, or is that not showing anything? Congratulations, though! (And did you see what I posted? :( The actual plot that follows it actually managed to be worse! Somehow.)

Missed Health and Safety regulations. Although whether that's a cause or an effect of people acting stupidly is a tough call to make. It's probably both. All government regulation into personal safety does is shift responsibility from people to government and when that happens, it causes a...

The brain is only a part of one's body. I could lose a leg and have it replaced with a prothesis, and still be me, my Self. Indeed, I could probably have all my memories placed into a robotic body, given the appropriate advancement of technology, and still be myself. If our Self is based upon a...

420MuNkEy: There's a difference between loving one's Self and loving one's body. I generally do not care much about my body: it's like my car. It gets me places and hasn't given me too many problems. I have occasional body issues, but they don't change how I feel about me. Me-- that is, my...

I think unconditional love is possible. I don't know if I have ever experienced it (although my parents probably deserve it from me, and I'm a little unsure of what it would imply to deserve someone's love in the first place). I'm not even sure if it's possible to love a person. It is certainly...

My muscle memory is actually pretty good. I type well without looking at the keyboard, although I never learned to do it properly, with my fingers on the right keys and with economy of movement and effort and all that, although I try to teach myself. It's not going so well, just because I keep...

I'm at 28k now. Just put in some time and you'll do fine. Or write crap, like this, to break a writer's block: I broke it pretty well, actually: I wrote about 2.5k that night. Now I'm stuck again and I ll likely do the same thing: just skip whatever boring thing I didn't want to write and get...

Life is life. One of my webcomic projects is in tatters, one is being planned and will probably wind up being my Script Frenzy project, if smaller things keep waylaying it, and one is laid out and ready to be drawn and have words stuffed into the cracks left by the art. I mean created as a...

Life, as opposed to simple existence. (I'll elaborate when I get home; lunch is pretty much over in -5 minutes. What? I'm using the company internet responsibly. :angel01:)

Satire (unless the person using it actually happens to know what it means) Nice/good-- bleh. Bland. Any word at the end of a statement yet inexplicably containing an updard inflection? Like this? It's as if they think everything's a question? Even though by all the rules of grammar and common...

At the last line I just cracked up.

Didn't see that when I played with a friend's laptop. I'll see if I can get another look-- but the dock still removes a step. It's still more efficient. And the taskbar gets crowded enough without sticking stuff all over it forever. Ah, yes the menus-- I like the menus better too, in...

I have a Mac. I generally like the interface better than I did windows, although I haven't really looked hard at Windows 7 yet. There are two things I can generally say I like about OSX a lot: 1. Copy ANYTHING to the desktop as a pseudo-file. I do that a lot with text snippets, urls, images...

Actually, I'll change my post: ESFP. They're too bloody nice. (I know that sounds weird.) Thing is, because of the N/S barrier, half the time I can't even hold a decent conversation with them because they don't generally get my humor. Then they're probably going to have some verbal tic or habit...

I would say the future, just as others have, so I could know what's going to happen, but if I did,I'd get used to it and want to go into the future again. I don't really have any time period that I've ever really wished I was born into; they all had their drawbacks, and right now seems like a...

I will be the proud and (very likely) utterly invisible creator of at least one webcomic. Other then that I'm not sure; every decision I make now feels like the murder of another possibility. The future is murky. So yeah, I don't know. I need to get a life but I'm not sure what it should be...

Yes, Fantasy counts; that's what I always write! It's mostly easier because you can a) just make things up as you go and b) rack up at least a couple hundred, or a couple thousand if you really know what's going on, just by infodumping whenever you run out of plot or get writer's block. Not...

Yes, yes, and yes. Number two in particular: I feel the need to explain all the scientific concepts behind all my fantasy stories. And yes, I try to put them in. As to the last one... I think INTPs have a slightly more angry or irritated expression in general than other people. I don;t think...

I don't generally chew pencils: I don't like the taste or the feel of the paint on the pencil (although when I was in primary school or any class like Tech or Art when I mostly had a pencil in my hand, I did wind up chewing on them when my mind was otherwise occupied). Transparent plastic biros...

Had one. Let it die. It now sits inactive. I should probably check it at least once a month to see if anyone I'm actually interested in messaged or friended me, but I haven't even logged in or visited the site at all since about August. Any friends I have in real life I can get in contact...

Heh. I've been doing this for about... *counts* six years now. Last year I won! This year I'll win! I love NaNo, actually; it's one of the best ways to come up with random plot ideas I've yet found. When I know I'm going to write something awful, and I'm not concentrating on making it "good" or...

Ummm...I don't know what to get you Nia... I'd draw something, but I can't install my scanner on this machine (no disk drive), so you wouldn't see it. I'd write something, but this close to NaNo, my brain's already in mindless drivel mode, and I don't want to give you mindless drivel. You're...

No! You're one of the sanest people on this forum. *Looks around* Actually, let me reconsider that... :confused: Weliddryn, you really are magnificent. Don't doubt it. *hug*

I'm around the same age as you, and I've noticed the same thing. I don't know why my mind is being so weird right now. Maybe being on my own just finally broke my poor brain. (On crying alone-- I actually hide in the bathroom if I feel like I'mgoing to cry.Even though there's no-one else in...

I find myself crying bizarrely often lately. The specific thing that made me well up most recenrtly was hearing from my mom (background: I just moved out) that she looks forward to Sundays specifically because that's when we talk on the phone. That got me. I didn't cry outright, but I did well...

15k isn't too bad for a first NaNo! I see people on the forums with 1-500 (total, not k) word counts every year, up to the last hours. I think I managed about 30k in '04, but my mom was the one who told me about NaNo, so I got hounded a lot over my word count. A lot. I didn't do so well the next...

2009, 8, 7... all the way back to '04. (A fourteen-year old trying to write a novel from scratch in a month. Yeah. I'm glad that floppy broke.) How far did you get last year?

What am I best at? ... I'd like to be able to say something admirable or interesting like drawing, painting, singing, music, analysis... but in truth? I think I'm the best at second-guessing myself. Nothing more. Laaaaaammmmeeeee. :(
