Reminds me of the time my dad brought home a random box of stuff he'd found in the dumpster. (my dad's a pro dumpster diver) Anyway, besides some books and other useful things, we found a handful of BetaMax tapes. Now, unfortunately we were a VHS family, because ... one of those tapes was a home-mov...

I want to give her respect and equality.

I was a lightweight, and then I actually started drinking more often, and got to where I could put away beer at a decent pace and still be fine. Now I've been sober so long I bet I'll be right back at the "lol 1 beer I'm so tipsy!" stage. Although thinking about classy drinking, I really m...

I have Pia at 9 hearts, so I guess she's gonna be my lovely mermaid bride.

But I'm only in Fall, so I'll slow up the courting process until I have a chance to get further in the main plot with the Univir.

I'm pretty sure they are subsidized by the government.

Universities generally aren't going to look too closely at your actual transcript. They're more interested in your overall stats; GPA and ACT/SAT in the states. I took the ACT, which is graded from 1-36. The average score for each of the 4 sub-categories (English, Reading, Math, Science) is in the l...

Undead Fire Mage sounds dangerous

what if you set yourself on fire?

I just imagined you as DOCTOR DRUNK

-___-;; No, I'm not pregnant. Although that is also the first thing that pops into people's heads when I say I'm not drinking right now. I've taken a personal vow of complete sobriety until I complete my classes. I haven't had so much as a sip in over 4 months. >___o;; Including when I went home for...

Well, on the matter of time vs. reading, I thought that the book club having a deadline would force everyone to make time for reading. How many hours do you spend doing other things, when you could be reading? As for your concern, Maxine, about us not wanting to read your recommendation -- that's th...

Don't worry, heprea, I also disapproved because I am always, before anything else, lazy.

I want to live in this world.

Excellent analysis, Jubelon. I agree with Fantasy having A/B elements like you defined. Thinking about it, Swordspoint has absolutely zero B and is entirely A. I cannot think of a single fantastic or magical element to it, and what world-building that does exist merely sets up a framework for the ch...

@Kimiko thanks! You're a lifesaver <3 @GoT/ASOIAF Ditto to what Scy said. And to think that Martin's series is just about whose ass is gonna warm the Iron Throne... huge mistake. I'd suggest you keep reading, but I agree with Scy that I think we just had radically different tastes. @my current read ...

Still debating if I want to make the spear or not. On the downside, I'll have to carry it around. On the upside, it'll look awesome and give me something to hold and pose with when/if people want my picture. Hopefully the costume turns out awesome and people will want my photo. And the possibility ...
