Allamorph

[quote name='Botar']Oh, and you made the same mistake as me, so there.[/quote] [FONT=Calibri]....oh. This is the part where I'm supposed to let you pick a fight. Isn't it? No one ever tells me these things. Uhh, your face, I guess.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Either that or he was talking about Steve. Doesn't make a difference either way, though.[/FONT]

[quote name='Botar'][color="#008000"]Would I be Lord Conti?[/color][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Conti kicked ass. So no.[/FONT]

[font="Calibri"]Expect Fortha Zhulai humor shortly.[/font] [quote name='chibi-master']It probably just wanted to be friends... Poor, miniscule spider... You never even gave it a chance...[/quote] [font="Calibri"]That's the idea.[/font] [quote name='chibi-master']Anyway, GEEZ, where have you been Allamorph?![/quote] [font="Calibri"]Usually I'm just lurking around, or away from the computer period. It doesn't make up the entirety of my life, and if I have nothing to say I tend to say nothing. [/font] [FONT=Calibri]That and I didn't want to interrupt the Happy Fun Time of Heckle and Jeckle over there.[/FONT] [quote name='eleanor']Which could also be said of 95% of everything uploaded to DA.[/quote] [font="Calibri"]lol owned[/font] [quote name='Rachmaninoff'][font="Trebuchet MS"]Yes I'm late in saying this but... I miss the blue.[/font][/quote] [font="Calibri"]You know, you're late in saying this.[/font] [quote name='gallowsCalibrator'][font="Comic Sans MS"]Oh, right. You meant actual chemistry to explain why they would be attracted to each other, not "you're sexy we should make out now".[/font][/quote] [font="Calibri"]This is known as Catering To The Demographic; specifically, the Insecure High School Princess and anyone who never grew out of that phase. Although I know some guys who have fallen hard for it, and the thought disturbs me.[/font] [quote name='Tonks'][quote='Botar']Wow. a new official low for CaNz has just been met, folks.[/quote] I dunno about that. His statement seems pretty facetious to me. But maybe that's just because it's so wrong.[/quote] [font="Calibri"]Part of that is from having a slight hope for humanity in general. Which I share, but the budget is constantly reevaluated every fiscal trimester, based on the individual people I now need to exclude from that hope. Then again, we might be able to take him somewhat seriously if he would ever stop telling anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot about how much of a brain he [i]believes[/i] he doesn't have.[/font]

[font="Calibri"]A small spider just ran across my leg. I killed it for its impertinence. Painting room walls is a pleasant exertion. Even if you get covered with paint splips. [font="Verdana"][quote name='CaNz']you brought it up with making fun of twilight...[/quote][/font] I brought up the fans. I don't talk about books I haven't read.[/font]

[FONT=Calibri]I suggest you abandon any thoughts of pursuing a career in literary criticism.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Didn't say nothin' about the abs. You can keep those.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Well, knowing it's still in test phase makes a touch more sense now. But yeah, love the idea.[/FONT]

[font="Calibri"]Another 'question' instead of an actual 'problem': is the custom title field gone for good now? [b]Edit: [/b]Actual bug issue: the "Around the Network" menu at the top of the screenâ??which, by the way, was a great ideaâ??is not letting me navigate to TheOtaku when I select TheOtaku from the list. [/font]

[FONT=Calibri]It's okay. I found an old post of hers about how much she loved Twilight, so. I want the soundtracks to the Danny Ocean movies.[/FONT]

[quote name='Indi-Cat'][color="#4b0082"][font="Arial"]I understand what you're trying to get at Allamorph. However if something looks like it might be interesting I tend to check it out anyway since I'm curious.[/font][/color][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]That's actually not what I'm getting at. I'm referring to a situation where your only exposure to the medium is through someone in such a way that it is strongly insinuated that unless you like it then you are not legitimately a person. I.e., why Tom hates talking about jazz.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]People so far seem to be focusing on the rabid-fan side of things, but what about even just one person ruining something for you by just using their own personality? For instanceâ??and I know this isn't anime-related, but it's the best example I can think ofâ??an acquaintance of mine is a pretty solid Gorillaz fan, but this person likes to flaunt their self-perceived mental depth and superiority over anyone, often without consciously realising they were doing so, and so I hated the band for a long time just because of this person. Got a chance to listen to a new album by them recently and I'm hooked, but this person kept me from being able to like them for years. So in that light, has something like that ever happened to you with an anime series, to the point where you didn't even feel like giving the series the first chance at all?[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]On the flip side, if I happen to flip by and they're playing, I'll stop and watch and cheer for them.[/FONT]

[quote name='eleanor'][size="7"]YOU USE THE SIZE 7 FONT FOR MUSIC BUT REGULAR FONT FOR THE FOOTBALL?[/size][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]1) I have certain priorities. 2) I'm not about to pretend to be a die-hard fan of a sport for which I only take a casual interest. 3) lol troll'd[/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master']Allamorph, would you like to be the uncle that's always reading at family reunions instead of visiting with people? I know you might not want to take part in this silliness, but it just seemed to fit you, sooo...[/quote] [FONT=Calibri]No, but I'll be [url="http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2009/3/10/128811643796976572.jpg"][COLOR=Blue]this[/COLOR][/url] guy.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Being nauseous all day sucks. Finding out you're nauseous right as you get into the shower isn't all that fun, either.[/FONT] [quote name='Stephanie']So I still have no idea about whether or not I'm giving up guys. Hmm.[/quote] [font="Calibri"]I'm not sure The Internet is such a great place to look for any form of an emotional support group, actually. It doesn't require a lot of sincerity to type *hug*, after all, and I think sincerity's kind of the more important factor.[/font]

[quote name='Sam'][color="#9932cc"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Yeesh. Just because she's a silly teen starlet doesn't mean she deserves to die...[/font][/color][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Since when have you been such a Human Rights activist? =P[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Update again. Not sure what I expected going into [b]By The Sword[/b], but it certainly wasn't what Mercedes Lackey gave me. Essentially a chronicle of (at least the first part of) the life and times of one Kerowyn who, oddly enough, is difficult to describe accurately with other than the words 'tomboy' and 'swordmaiden'â??although were she real I'd like as not get a decided earful for calling her a maidenâ??and without significant storyline spoilatry. I suppose I could say the book took the Special Ops training concept and transferred it to a fantasy setting, and although there was an obvious presence of magic throughout the book, I am reminded of a line spoken by a hero in the DC Bionicle publications: [i]"The power is in me; the sword is but the focus."[/i] Decent book; I'll probably check out more of her series. When I read [b]The Bourne Identity[i] [/i][/b]some years ago, I became convinced Robert Ludlum was the best psychological writer I'd ever found, and that his talents at suspense thrillers was no small aid to his abilities. After literally just finishing its sequel, [b]The Bourne Supremacy[/b]â??I've been glued to the book all day, and only partly because I spent the morning and a good deal of the afternoon being quite illâ??I find, not that I've reversed the order of my opinion, but that I underestimated his skill at suspense writing completely. The man is a genius. He communicates panic to an astounding degree, can manage to keep all of his characters completely in character while operating no less than seven distinct and interweaving scenes at the same time (which can get confusing, let me tell you), and still manage to make me forget when I've passed a chapter break. And his knowledge of foreign (and Western-unfriendly) culture is remarkably thorough. I appreciate a guy who does extensive homework for minor details. If you've seen the movies and aren't too terribly interested, I urge you to reconsider; the plot is only consistent with the novels up through about the first two-thirds of the first movie and then goes completely off base, and from what I've researched it doesn't get back on track ever. If you've only seen the previews and aren't really "into" espionage stuff, I also urge you to reconsider. Think of the spy portions as sort of a backdrop; the real story is about Jason Bourne himself, and the cloak-and-dagger is there for the added thrill. Can't wait to dig into his third book.[/FONT]

[quote name='CaNz']well.. you cant see it coming at night...[/quote] [FONT=Calibri]There are these really weird things called clouds....[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]I don't think it would matter much whether or not it happened to be sunny, actually. Birds'll crap just the same. =P[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]You said geese were a constant downer. I happen to like geese. They attack the stupid people. It makes me laugh.[/FONT]
