Yeah, but everyone else (or at least the vast majority) has become dependent on constant connectivity through cellphones and such, and one of the consequences of that is that no-one seems able to keep an appointment anymore. They're good for emergencies, too, although those don't really crop up...

Yes, but why? Dissident's right: we need more talking about the words. I'm the one that suggested caliginous, and I did so because it distils many different meanings into one. It communicates something that the others don't, too: a dim thought is very different to a dark thought, and I don't...

It's really good, if it's actual wood. I couldn't dream of making that chain out of wood. ...Do you ever not have a picture ready to post up on the forum, in response to any situation, IB? Google images serves you well...

Is that it? Did you do it while I was listening to the snapvine thing? (I knew trying to make that download would kill some time. :D) Looks good! Way more organised-looking now. Nice. EDIT: Oh, no, wait, never mind. Stuff is still moving. Work away there, don't mind me. *facepalm* ...I did...

I prefer the night-time, especially outside. I like going outside and just wandering around when there's a full moon or close to one, provided there aren't any clouds ready to rain on me. The air outside feels fresher and crisper at night for some reason, and everything is so much quieter...

@IB: Ah, you're right... four aces would be a crummy hand But even a straight flush loses out to a royal flush. C'mon lor! I got to assemble a playhouse and a slide on two separate occasions for my younger siblings, actually. It's such fun, isn't it? In our house I'm the 'broken whatever...

I psychoanalyze myself all the time. I try to figure out why I do the things I do and why I feel the way I do, and I've, at times, come up with some fairly accurate answers, I think. It didn't help me, though, because knowing why I was doing something didn't help me to know what to do or to...

There are some religious members here, actually-- you're not the only one at all! Cryptonia, Fusionknight, and Da Blob come immediately to mind. Forgot one-- I care about what I wear. Strongly. I don't care if other people think an outfit looks stupid, but if I think it looks stupid, there's...

Hmmm. I'm intrigued to see what the end result will be. Shuffle away there, LoR. Let's hope you deal us a hand full of aces.

Indeed. We can't kick people out of the forum because no-one likes them, or because most people think their posts are lacking substance: they need to be genuinely and substantially a negative influence on the atmosphere and content of the forum. Frankly, I think Face was. If he thought it was...

I do the same thing the Ermine does, basically: I spend too much time before an event (party/dance/something-I-want-to-go-to) trying to figure out how I'll get there, if I have enough money, how I'll get back, blah, blah, blah. It doesn't take long for me to start imagining the worst things that...

There will always be posters on any forum who post for a little while then disappear, or who simply lose interest in the community. If they're not here anymore, they might have simply lost interest in the way I just mentioned, or they might have discovered other commitments, or they're just not...

(Basically the same idea as FP's Word of the Week. Except we decided that it wasn't going to be a word every week, more like every-so-often-when-we-got-tired-of-talking-about-the-old-word, and starting the actual discussion of the words (i.e., the point of the thread) fifty posts in strikes me...

I agree with that a million times over. When I joined this forum, I did the same thing IB did: I jumped into the discussions all over the board and posted left, right, and centre. (My earlier posts put some of what I've produced lately to shame, too, when I look at them now.) I think I posted...

Go to the thread about it in Announcements, in Quality Control. I'm too lazy to post a link. :p If this is the only thread where you read his posts, you might not see why, of course-- this was one of his better threads. It wouldn't be "Word of the Week" so much as "Word of the...

Nah, I think we do need a kick up the butt every now and then. (Your T is extraverted, so you get to decisions more quickly than us-- our N is extraverted, so we dither and keep gathering information. We never know enough.) Perhaps, if FP is allowed back on the forum then doesn't get...

Wai! I just did (about a day ago) the first self-portrait I've ever produced that actually looked like me. Every single one I've done for class, with a mirror, looked like my clone or my identical twin or something. This one... I didn't use a mirror, but it looks exactly like me. Real me. I like...

Yeah, I'm with Dissident-- let's not let it die. I could find a word or two every week or three/four days, if anyone wants. D'you want me to start a new thread, or does someone else want to volunteer?

Gael! Is duine as Éireann é! (An Irish person, IB.) Now, what's 'gay eel' in Irish? I doubt I can ask my teacher that, though... :p

INTPc is a little cliquish and elitist, I think-- that's what I didn't like about it myself. This place is far, far nicer. (We have a lot of INTJs lately! Cool. :D) Well, you've met Morgoth anyway, haven't you? If you can take him you can take the worst this place has to offer. Welcome, migs...

"Calendars are for careful people, not passionate ones." --Chuck Sigars Welcome, Scruffylass. Hope you enjoy the time you spend here. I think I enjoy it all too much. :D

That's because it's easier to learn languages when you're young. :p Welcome to you, Wallet. You're not the youngest here, and it's hard to tell the younger members here from the older ones anyway, most of the time. So enjoy your stay! Ignore the psychopaths. Or try to, anyway... ;)

Hmmm? Did you want me for something? *Casually lops IB's head off with a meat cleaver* No? Oh well. Good to see another Gael here though. Enjoy the forum, Fury!

Hello, Juno! Always good to see new members here! How's the weather been in Canada lately? (It actually snowed earlier this week here in Ireland... stupid March...)

I'll give Face one thing: he did provide a few thoughtful and intelligent posts. Whenever I saw one, though, it was a shock, because all of his other posts were either pointless (one-liners, mostly), spam, or an outright insult. We have a lot of intelligent members here who don't cause trouble...

Not sure about my Ne, but my F functions are far more developed then they should be, by MBTI theory. In fact, it often seems as if my Fi is my inferior function and my Fe is my tertiary (although Ni and Si have their debilitating and annoying moments). This might be because since I found out...

Ah yes-- some sort of noise in the background, I forgot that. I didn't use to need it, but when we moved to the country I couldn't sleep anymore unless I had the radio on. I was used to the noise of a city and the silence kept me up. I like it to be pitch dark too-- light is my arch nemesis when...

If I need to stay awake I just keep telling myself "I'll sleep in five minutes. I'll sleep in five minutes." That technique works on EVERYTHING for me. Now is never late enough. It has to be in five minutes. That's how I'm getting my Tech. project done right now. I'll stop coloring in the dots...

Everything Cognisant says makes sense. I would add one thing, though: find an activity that you can just disappear into. Art of reading or videogames or anything-- as long as it lets you relax and reorganise your thoughts, it's a good thing. Something that helps you express your thoughts might...

Same thing, except I think my preferred phrase is "I mean, it's that". It's a way of stalling when I can't think instead of letting silence fall, if I don't want to be cut off during the conversation. 1) I make (always bad) decisions based on what feels right/wrong to me, rather than what the...

I understand. I have to explain that to people constantly, that when I say something, it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm 100% sure of it, and that I might seem to just change my mind at a moment's notice. I change my mind with much thought and consideration! It's just that I never let anyone...

You're only 33 posts away from a thousand. And you've been here twice as long as I have! (...Hey... we have to think of a user title for you, don't we?) :evil:

Aww, don't worry, SotH. That just means you have a more effective sense of self-preservation than the rest of us. ;)

Hello Other-Sage. Hope watching us do... stuff... helps you figure out your J/P preference. It might help to observe the INTJs as well on their forum-- compare the two and see what you think. Just like Lor and Anthille said. Either way, you're welcome to join in here. You're just jealous...

Who? Me? That caniphobia, IB. We wolves can't help biting. Wolf_spirit and I will fight that slanderous remark to the end! (Which, considering a wolf's life span, won't be long for you to wait. ;)) Heya dwags222. This is a good place: I think you'll like it here.

No. Sorry, Cog, but NoI's personality would melt any robotic brain, no matter how advanced it was. I'm surprised his own has stood up for so long, actually. That's why his skin's blue, you know: all his blood goes to his brain to keep it from giving up and shutting down. It has to.-- it's the...

Far too many of them to count, but the stand out voices are my inner cynic, my inner idealist (they like to fight with each other), the eccentric artistic type-person, and the historian (who helps me out with tests). Generally, except for the first two, they get along. There was a realistic me...

Get into bed and don't move. I like that feeling, when I'm all warm and cozy and everything feels really heavy and slow. Then I fall asleep and suddenly it's morning and I don't wanna get up and everything's been ruined. Stupid sleep.

Yoga? No-- any exercise I take up is going to have to have some objective other than 'keeping me fit'. If I'm doing it for a reason, I find it easier to keep up with something, but if it's just because i should, I tend to let it slip. Recreation is a good reason, but I don't like competitive...

I fully agree with Dissident: I can put together any argument-- using words-- in my head in moments, but if someone asks me for my opinion on something, I don't manage to say much at all, even though I have an enormous number of thoughts in my head. None of them seem to make it to my mouth...

I was posting a lot recently! ..Then Mom came back from America and I had to give her the modem again. Now I am, once more, reduced to staying up all night in order to talk to you all. Boo. When Noddy left, this place lost a lot of its craziness. *sniff* I mean, you can't replace that guy. It...

Huh. I find it fairly easy to define words; my friends say I'm as good as a walking dictionary. For example, exotic: something outside normal experience; more specifically, something which greatly differs from what is considered common or normal by the person experiencing it. Sometimes I have...

Emo. (Sorry Jesin, I stole your 'thing'. ;) ...And there's an Emo, Co. Laois? Where did that placename come from?) I think the term was originally used as being short for emotional, i.e., someone who is very in touch with their own emotions/feels them very strongly or purely. Mind, with the...

This sounds like a fun thread! Count me in, FP. I love English. I wanna learn the etymologies of all the words, too. Could we get new words every three days or so, though? It's not my fault I can't log on everyday. :( It would give time for more in-depth discussion, too, and more opinions on...

Hello yeayea. You've sparked another incredible debate among us. Are you proud of yourself? :D ...Sex? Laid? ...Hmmm. Eloquent as I am, those terms do not seem to be in my vocabulary. They must not be fun things. Defenestration, now... heheheh. That is fun. :evil:

Hey Rudy. Welcome to our native habitat. Hope being here doesn't convince you that we're all a bunch of absolute maniacs. I, like Saffy, assert that we are not, indeed, maniacs. We are all completely psychologically balanced. By our definition of the term, anyway. ;)

Welcome to the dungeon. Hope you find the place to your liking. We can always use new blood. Uhhh... did I say blood? I meant... errr... ...Oh, fine. I meant blood.

My friends do that a lot too. Thing is, anything I tell them, such as 'don't worry' is always met with 'of course you don't worry, you're really smart!' ...Which I can't really counter very well, so I just resort to either helping them study if they want or trying to cheer them up by forcing...

Go with as many dollars as you can:-- the Euro is pretty strong right now. Good luck with finding a job-- I don't know what the job market's like in Italy and Sweden, but it might not be hard to find a job as an au pair or, depending on when you go, with seasonal work in the tourism industry or...

Another new face! Welcome aboard, Nemo! Mind you, if you're a cow, I have to slaughter and eat you. Duty as the forum's top canine, you know. :rolleyes: Nothing personal.
