Not sure exactly which section this belongs in, but it relates somewhat to religion, so I figure I'll stick it here. Warning: This is basically going to be a long ramble, just throwing some thoughts out there and seeing what kind of responses I get. So, recently my friend has gotten me thinking abo...

haha, so many OLD ( ;) ) people hanging around. all these nieces and nephews. Here's me hanging out in my friend Christi's dining room, arm wrestling with another friend, waiting for Christi to get home to her surprise birthday party. http://photos-f.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-snc1/v1962/151/118/1559...

good to see any news at all, especially news saying its not scrapped

O_o who drains ramen???

I'm a ramen soup guy, but crunching on just the noodles is good too....I've had some good salads made with olive oil and uncooked ramen noodles and some other stuff.

But isn't that in itself a doctrine? What of people who don't hold salvation through faith alone? "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." Judaism and Islam are perfect examples...

he looks.....eccentric, which is just what is needed from a Doctor.

also, who else watched The Next Doctor?

when you're on your fourth copy of Ender's Game, and already have 3 people lined up to borrow it, and are thus fairly sure you'll need a new one in a month or so

you have dreams of your school's band room being renovated and turned in to the battleroom

I never realize how deep my voice is, and how squeaky my laugh is until I hear them played back to me. Evidently other people like hearing me read out loud though, because I actual am conscious of reading the punctuation and emphasizing words the way they should be.

Benjamin Button is an excellent movie, I had the opportunity to watch a pre-release copy of the movie (this was an official DVD, not pirated) at a friends house recently. I'm looking forward to Fanboys, Star Trek, Wolverine, Watchmen, Transformers 2, Harry Potter, and Where the Wild Things Are. I *w...

Being sore from sitting on the hard-wood floor!

being sore from having a bony butt and sitting on anything too long.

honestly, the Artemis Fowl is nowhere near the quality of Ender's Game. its certainly a fun read though. I can't really see any situation in which Arty would come up against Ender. a much more interesting situation would be Artemis Fowl trying to outscheme Peter Wiggin or Bean. as for Ender vs Achil...

maybe they should have used all this time to produce that certain sci-fi novel that they *DID* have an option for

elfprince13

wow, WTF?

I'm really worried.....

10. A little kid who knows more than the adults.

having been one of those little kids, I'd like to add that adults who are supposed to be helping you learn but don't know enough to do so is something I hate

elfprince13

No way....

I was amazed enough when Starlooker said she'd never seen it, but you?! Miss Movie buff?!

That just blows my mind.

Anyway, just wait until you see The Empire Strikes Back.

and Return of the Jedi

definitely my favorite!

elfprince13

we're getting blizzarded now, I'm trapped in town for the night, cause nobody wanted to drive the 6 miles from our house to pick me up.

if anything the "forums" in Ender's Game make me think more of a mainstreamed USENET rather than a web forum

Dogs... who needs 'em?[/size][/color]
Blind people?

hearing-impaired people with hearing-assistance dogs (to tell you when there's someone at the door or when the phone's ringing), who keep the dog long after it too has gone deaf

You know the song "9 to 5"? Well, I hate working from 5 to 9 (in the morning). But hey, it's work and it pays for my driving lessons (plus the people are nice) so it goes by.. on a related note, looking for pants that fit me (30"/34") and finding ones that don't (34"/30&quo...

elfprince13

locke, I have to say that I support your recommendation of Anne McCaffery one hundred percent.

especially older Anne McCaffrey. both the Talent series, and the Pern series are very good. I'm not a big fan of the new Pern novels with Todd McCaffrey.

elfprince13

Brilliant book, btw! one of my favorites.

have you read The Miracle at Philadelphia?

Seeing friends after years being apart, and being as comfortable with each other as if it had only been a week.

friends with whom you can actually say those really strange things that pop into your head without it being awkward.

elfprince13

I finished rereading the Colour of magic. And although I know it's not well liked today, I like it quite a lot. Twoflower and Rincewind and the Luggage are an awesome trio, and the wacky supporting cast is also excellent. I love the digs at Pern and other fantasy series. :) Not a great discworld bo...

having a parent-imposed curfew when you're 18, graduated high school, and paying your own rent and insurance. Move out! It's the best thing you can ever do post-high school. with all that money I have after spending a month and a half travelling and buying a macbook pro ;) also, I hate watching my ...

You must be very perseverant to keep coming back to look for news on the movie

Anyway, as an almost totally unknown person here, welcome!

here I could count on at least 2 or 3 times a year

nowhere else has any.

Welcome, officially, to pweb .
*passes over a glass of limeade*
I think you'll like it here a lot.

mmm, tasty.

and I already do of course, or I wouldn't have registered

elfprince13

Welcome! So you've been lurking for over 4 years, eh? That should make the annoying newbie phase pass by much more smoothly. :P haha, I remember when philoticweb.net brought you to a news page, some fan artwork, and I think a list of Ender's Game related MUD games, and not the forum. Mostly I just ...

mm, so, despite already having posted a fair bit in the last couple days, I thought I'd get around to introducing myself. My name's Thomas, though I generally go by elfprince13 online, an alias I've been using for the last 6 years. I've been lurking around Philotic Web for most of that time (since e...

Something that should be mentioned, since the word is being tossed around a lot in this conversation, is that the English word sin was originally an archery term meaning to miss the mark......I wouldn't be at all surprised if it shared etymology with sine. Anything we do that misses the mark of what...

elfprince13

Plus, locke, I think if you'll go over the list you'll see that not every winner was an "issue" book. 1999's HOLES comes to mind. A super-popular, very entertaining book of literary value. Holes was fantastic, and exactly the sort of book that should win. Something that has both entertain...

Good points Lyons, I'm not entirely sold on it but it's a good point.

my issue with the seventh day not being over yet is that it means God is still resting and not actively engaged in shaping his creation.

elfprince13

Those are just off the top of my head. Obviously we read far more than that. But still...those all seem pretty standard to me... I wish they were standard, we got maybe half of those, the rest was junk like Bless Me Ultima, and Black Girl/White Girl. and like I said, within 2 years of me going thro...

I'm sorry that you went through what sounds like a sub-par school system. I have to say, though, that the required reading throughout my public school education was (with a few exceptions, of course) quite excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. I'm an avid reader regardless, so I might be biased. But ...
