I'm graduating on Sunday... assuming I survive tonight with the project and the studying. I'm graduating with a degree in linguistics (and if anyone asks me how many languages I speak, I will murder someone).

As far as future stuffs, I have a place to live... that's about it.

Yes, every so often I come out of lurking long enough to make a post or two, then fade back into limbo. Having never read the book or seen the movie, I can't really make much comment on the Andromeda virus. However, in the trailer they specifically say that the virus can communicate and mutate itsel...

May be a bit of a stretch, and if they are related, descolada is probably based on andromeda strain rather than the other way around. Andromeda Strain is based on a book written in 1969, 17 years before Speaker for the Dead.

I'm glad you're okay.

I was going to say I wasn't really intimidated by anyone specifically (although I was definitely intimidated by the board in general), but then you had to mention Leto. He was terrifying for the first little bit I was here. I did eventually get used to it, though.

Here's what's been keeping me from doing any work for the past few days:

*hugs Lea* I really hope you are reading this, and can see how much everyone here cares about you and believes in you. You've always shown yourself to be a good, caring person, and I am not going to stop believing that. I know we haven't talked in a while, but if you ever are online and want to talk...

I would kill for some Spazztroids.

Okay, I know facebook gets a bad rap, and it has been going downhill recently (esepcially since they removed the ability to find people in your classes) but I still find it extremely useful. I keep in touch with all my close friends, but it's nice to have a casual way of keeping in touch with people...

That's awesome! Congratulations!

I hate having to take a lab science as a linguistics major. I will never use this. Ever.

Alright, you can be president, but I'm dictator for life.

As far as those questions go, I guess I'd be a semi-oldbie, seeing as I can answer about half of them. Also, I'd like to suggest an addition: 12. What was the color code for "invisible text" on the second PWeb?

wizzard

I'm just imagining the kid, years from now, stumbling across Pweb archives the way you might stumble across some love-notes from before your parents got married.

Dear You, I love you, and I recognize that you are going through some rough stuff, but it really doesn't help anyone that any time anyone complains about anything, you have to top them. They're having a bad day? Yours is worse. Their classes suck? Yours suck more. You do not have a monopoly on miser...

Congratulations!

I hope you name him differently than his login name

I'll give you each 20 respect points if you actually name him/her Squiggly.

hehe, well done

I hate all of you who have snow. It's winter! It shouldn't be in the 60's... and tomorrow, it's meant to get up to 77! We're not even that far south. Oh well, another week or so, then I go home to Philly, where the weather behaves itself, and acts like it's supposed to.

I don't think anyone's going to be "brought back to life" by time travel. Hiro already dealt with that when he tried to save his father.

Speaking of time travel, though, what happens to the Irish chick (I can't remember her name), who got stuck in a future that now no longer exists?

I don't have time right now to write out a full thing on the finale, but I did like it overall. It felt rushed, but that's because it was rushed. Also, I love Sylar. He's probably the most interesting character in the show, just cause he's so psychotic, and I'm glad he has his powers back. And Mohin...

haha, you beat me to it, Rei. Bilabial fricatives do exist in English, but only in select dialects. When someone "pronounces the 'h' " in words like 'what' and 'whip', it's a voiceless bilabial fricative. Phonetically speaking, [w] is almost identical to , so I guess you could call it a vo...

Not to bring actual logic into a discussion of English punctuation rules, but to me, the comma represents a pause in the speech stream, and when I'm speaking, I pause after every item in the list, including the second to last one, so I prefer to put that comma there. Just my 2 cents.

My favorite place to be is up a tree. I don't know why, but I like the feeling of solitude you can get. Even when there are people all around, hardly anyone bothers to look up. And climbing trees is just fun.

I love Latin as much as the next guy (well, probably a lot more, actually), but I am cautious about using it as a way of studying English grammar. Yes, studying Latin grammar has made me much, much more aware of grammar in general, and has given me an array of grammatical concepts which I can apply ...

Well when it comes to grammar, Well , when it comes to grammar, I am probably the Nazis Nazis ' worst enemy, so much so that they will probably put me in there their form of "concentration camps" (otherwise known as English classes :twisted: ) for life; but until they do I will have to si...

Dear Bob, I should be sleeping right now, but I have to get the these thoughts down, try to pin them down, see if I can get them to stop moving long enough to actually look at them. I am becoming less and less sure of the religion that is central to my family, and has been the basis for my entire li...

MST3K

It was on the a couple of different networks during the 90's, including the sci-fi channel, and an episode will pop up here and there from time to time... great show.

Is it really unknown? Almost all of my friends at least watched it, and a couple of them have it on DVD.

wizzard

The only show I can think of is Corner Gas. I don't know how big it is in Canada, but I've never found anyone else in America who's even heard of it. One of my friends is originally from Canada, and she had the first season on DVD. We watched the entire season in a few sittings. That show is hilario...

HBC's reminded me of the fortune cookie my friend got a few weeks ago: "You would make a good lawyer". I think that's the most direct fortune cookie I've ever seen.

Bob,

I has a girlfriend!

John, we all care about you, and we know you can make it through this. You are a large part of what Pweb has been to me ,on the board and in chat.
