I pledge to be more proactive at work, use the fact I didn't enroll in as many classes to actually do that self-study I've been saying I will work on for ages, try to actually make some ties to this place, go on more hikes, explore Washington, take more random road trips, meet guys, whatever. I'm si...

Hmm, I do like parallel novels enough, but something about the rest of the Shadow series fell flat to me. I never really learned to care for a lot of the characters that became mid-level main characters in ES series in EG, and I spent the entire series wanting to know how it re-connects to EG and th...

Confession: If I needed further proof I don't belong in the Religion/moral forum, I went and accidentally voted opposite to my views on a poll. Dear Darwin, I need to get off the internet at 2 am.

Speaker, without a doubt. I used to prefer Ender's Game, but I read it twice this past summer (As my bff suggested when I was telling him I was bored and without reading material, "re-read your favorite book," and I was like, yeah, done that twice) and after finally re-reading Speaker for ...

geographer
woohoo!

According to my diploma, I am very loosely a non-practicing one of these.

Heh I'm a recovering historian, even less qualified for legitimate inquiry with a BA.

I'm auto-completer, and don't have it in my book marks even. It takes me to the main page, which is kind of a surprise, considering I spend most of my time on Milagre rather than the rest of the subforums (The Ender is the only one I ever frequent). I log on during my post-work haze and then when I ...

I've been really ~academically interested in~ a military geographer over the past few months and reading all of his books except one, but the one I haven't read? A. its old news, B. my first thought when reading the full description was, "Peter Wiggin!"

Yeaaaa.

I intend to respond to more posts but then they get lost in my firefox tabs. That's a shame; you seem pretty cool. Aw thanks! I have nearly as many social awkwardness/qualms about posting online as I do speaking in person so thanks :) My posting here seems to be in direct correlation to my romantic...

Dear you, I always kind of knew she'd win, even when she had that boy friend. She chose your school over mine. And then I chose moving to the farthest major city point away on the west coast. And you're still there, and you're losing sight of all the things that made me like you anyways. She seems t...

Dear Diary, First off, now I really want a blender. I have an unplugged toaster, yet no blender. Also, I am so incredibly mad at him. I think of what he said/is doing and I seethe with frustration. It has taken me 7 years to finally lose respect for him and not like him. It feels kind of good, and I...

I rather liked that one (the Magicians)! I had heard mixed reviews (and strongly disliked his previous book for being uninspired "pseudo-academic on an adventure" formula) so I wasn't expecting much, but I read it in one sitting (well, on an airplane, but still!). I read Stone by Adam Robe...

The fact I didn't take this week, or at least monday/tues off. Should have, could have.

Dear body, wth was that. You were fine, you were being asked out by the cab driver, complimenting the boy in line on his XKCD button, and THEN you sit down, cough, and then feel like you are going to lose your last night's dinner. WHAT. Rushing through the airport like that was not how I wanted to s...

Dear body,

The cold was okay, whatever. The sinus infection that came next was getting annoying but appears to be defeated. And now these sneezing fits and deciding something at work bugs you? NOT COOL.

I hate when I know I've edited things in a document before but the same errors keep popping up. I know its because I have gone through at least 3 platforms with the same content and things get lost in the sending/transferring because I am doing 12 things at once, but boy are they obnoxious. And so a...

Dear Bob, I was going to post in the procrastinating thread but I couldn't figure out what I was procrastinating over. I feel kind of aimless--the extra classes I am taking finished oh, 4 hours ago and now I am adrift and purposeless until work tomorrow. I have read the entire back catalog of posts ...

Confession: Facebook's new profile picture settings (friend's of friends as pretty much default) are kind of awesome for comparing yourself to ex-girlfriends you've never seen in person (she's really not that pretty), friend's crushes (what is she thinking!?), etc during final's time.

This year, I've graduated college and moved up the coast from one end to the other, basically. Before that, commuted to nearly every corner of the metro I lived in on a daily basis which was kind of awesome, because I get anxious being in the same place every day. Started my first full-time job. Acc...

My hand is coated with writing so I had to take it at odd angle. Also, I usually grip it much harder and angle it more like I'm attacking the paper.

+I confess I never have seen all of Temple of Doom. 5 year old me did not like it and I have never gone back. I have seen 1 & 3 at least 15 times each. +I also used to read the Star Wars magazine and was really interested in the plot outlines for 7-9. I only watched my first Trek movie when I wa...

Dear Diary,

Today at work, children stood on my back, I spun until I nearly threw up & had to lie on the grass for a good 5 minutes, and I got hit in the eye with a ping pong ball. Hazards.

@Locke Yeah I am apparently going to the Cal/USC game now, it should be a decent game. Hopefully better than 2007's, which was a soaking wet slip & slide.

@buckshot Still awesome. I've only been in WA 2 months so I haven't really picked sides.

buckshot, you proud? Or more a Cougar fan?

I have a younger brother, who is like 2.5 years younger than me. We used to not get along at all, but now we are actually almost friends because we have so much in common, which is incredibly weird for me. Incredibly. He had some health issues while I was in college which have slowed him down a bit ...

Dear Diary,

It is one of those days where you regret every single major decision you have made over at least the last 5 years. Time to go paint my nails and watch Melrose Place.

I just finished reading Nancy Kress's Steal Across the Sky (I wanted to start with her most famous, but this is what the library had). Without giving away too much of the plot, there are some VERY obvious parallel's to some of OSC's work. I think now I will start Peter Watts's Starfish because it wi...

then my best friend spoiled Xenocide during Algebra. It has been 7 years and I still hold it against him. He finds it hilarious. How did he spoil it? Everything involving Peter.

Peter & Petra, but mostly independently. I never was much of a fan of Ender until I re-read the series recently, but he has definitely grown on me as a character.

My brother & dad had read it and recommended it (well, my dad did, my younger brother hated the ending), so I brought it to class one day when the teacher was okaying books for us to read for a book project. Actually, I brought it as a back up in case the Pratchett novel I really wanted to use f...
