I like homonym. And splurge. And hitherto. And pidgin.

Aw, all my other favorite words are bad.

SaintDrogo

I am.

But I think you were asking a slightly different question.

SaintDrogo

I think it'd make a wicked MMORPG, battle-school style, with expansion packs for Command, Pre-command, and Tactical schools. Everyone starts as a launchy and levels, kind of like Guild Wars or World Of Warcraft (you guys knew THAT was coming up again). The mods would be people like Dap and Dimak, la...

I found out that it's not a tax break they're starting this year that allows you to write off education expenses... I've just never completed a semester with a high enough GPA to qualify before. I'm off academic probation, woo hoo!

SaintDrogo

Plus if it's as bad as the parts I read and everyone here says, it's like an expansion pack for an awesome game, but the expansion pack was made in Taiwan by carnival geeks in dimly lit rooms.

Are we surprised that Anberlin ripped someone off? I just got The Subtle Knife, actually, after watching The Golden Compass on DVD the other day. Pissed me off to find out they hadn't, and may not be, made the sequels yet. From what I hear they changed a LOT from the book anyway, so I might need to ...

SaintDrogo

Or, if you're looking to do a little foley work or some voice-over acting, lemme know. Duck just got a video camera recently, so I'm working on a script with him right now. It involves pirates. And lots of play-doh. But more importantly, LOTS of foley work.

I'm with you guys, I think that encouraging posting for the sake of posting could lead to a whole lot of backup of stupid. As it is, if we all just keep up with threads we've posted in already, that would help. I know this is one of the first forums I've actually followed up on a lot of my comments....

SaintDrogo

Not to stray from my own topic here, but I love the word codswallop.

Please continue.

SaintDrogo

I know that's gotta be a song or something, but I just kept picturing zombies dancing to the thriller dance and singing a refrain of STILL ALIVE!

SaintDrogo

I'll hop on that sentence when it comes back around. Has anyone thought of trying to make any Ender amv? Of course not with the unreleased movie yet, durh, but cutting together other movies and such (gattaca, bits of minority report, alien, etc) to make some?

SaintDrogo

TOPIC!!

^In the intrest of returning.

SaintDrogo

Not Greensboro, but not the other side of the state either. I live in Washington, near Greenville.

SaintDrogo

Yeah, I'm not terribly terribly amped about any such possibilities, really. To be fair, I kind of like the whole "what if?" ending the more I think about it.

A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius by David Eggers is great. It's all about the irony, but while trying to specifically avoid actually BEING what is says it is, it does break your heart, and at times does reach the point of staggering genius. It's subtle, it's disarming, it's funny, it's ten...

SaintDrogo

It sounds kind of like Anton's Key too.

SaintDrogo

Oh crap the loch nessmonsta tree fitty joke, where the HECK was that from?! I remember it was really funny and maybe it was Dave Chapelle, crap, it's gonna make my head esplode PLEEEEASE tell me!

SaintDrogo

I think that a cure will be found, either by someone strangely "zipped" over from the Ender saga, or by Bean or one of his kids, OR by someone on Earth loooong down the related line of characters. Like Petra and Peter's great great grandneice's adopted daughter or something. But then Bean'...

There's also a huge pond near town that my friends and I used to swim in... it's surrounded by sand pit dunes, so it's kind of in a big bowl, surrounded by woods. It's really clean, bubbles up from a semiconfined aquifer underneath. Being as how it's like that and in North Carolina, it reminds me of...

Novinha lashes out at him, calling him a desolation, etc. He answers her calmly, informally, even intimately, telling her (basically) "Thou art fertile soil, and I will plant a garden there." I loved the passage from the book, and it was something that reminds me of my boyfriend (a long ti...

What if we still talk about staying on topic, but do it in other languages, piit?

SaintDrogo

Hmm. What started as a thread about music videos (and a shameless plug for Duck's amvs) has turned into a gender identity support group. lol awesome.

So I guess no one up here makes them?

SaintDrogo

I have a Speaker tattoo, from the book: http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc225/SaintDrogo/foottoo.jpg You can see on the "e" in "es" on my left foot that like previously mentioned, when the scabs come off (be it from work or... you know. Whatever.), the ink fades or will have w...

My psych classroom is a distance learning lab. It's got flat screen monitors on the walls, cameras mounted with remote controls all over the front, and a window to a control room. It's also acoustically padded and has microphones all over the tables and stuff. It makes me think of the battle school....

SaintDrogo

Just call me Pat.

Actually, my name is Aimee if you need something more gender-specific to call me. Nice to meet you guys. I never realized that many people read my stuff. I had figured it was me talking to Piit and mazer.

SaintDrogo

True. Speaking of minor fandoms, anyone up for a keeper thread before I start one? Or do people do those anymore? I remember a mailing list I used to be on for Star Wars had a keepers list. There'd have to be a concrete list, approved by a mod. People would apply to be, say for example, "Keeper...

SaintDrogo

LOL Really? Sorry. The screen name was just one I picked a whiiiiiile back. Drogo's the patron saint of mental illness.

SaintDrogo

Come to think of it, I need one for some of my teachers. They can ramble on forEVER about the most random tangents.

SaintDrogo

And maybe that's not her name anyway. Stupid internets making it harder for the readings of me.

Here's a clip of the kid, anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcFAPscR ... re=related

SaintDrogo

Most definitely. Just go to http://www.youtube.com and search for "omentheduck"

All his videos will come up. My favorite of his is the Weeds video, mostly cos he digs anime waaaaaay more than me and that's really what the other ones are mostly.

SaintDrogo

To that end, I'd like to expand on the idea of staying on topic: Every meeting should have a "topic keeper". I like to ask for a volunteer at the beginning of the meeting. The topic keeper's job is to interrupt whenever the discussion strays from the topic under discussion. These new topic...

SaintDrogo

So, any of you guys have any original AMVs? I know, some people consider that Anime Music Video, but I've always heard it as Amature Music Video. In any event, I'm talking about movies or shows etc edited with music overlayed, music video style. My boyfriend has a few on YouTube, and I have a couple...

SaintDrogo

To whom do we report if we think a mod is being unfair?

SaintDrogo

I would say at this point that all your ideas would be evil, but that pretty much fits in with the Jason continuum, doesn't it?

I miss it terribly. Get Fuzzy is the only thing worth crap in our local rag.

SaintDrogo

You clearly didn't see her in Panic Room. I don't think I'm allowed to quote some of the lines, but there's definitely some non-disney language going on. That kid's badass.

Anyone here make AMVs?
