Blindness by Jose Saramago. Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. Both excellent!

The plot is apparently loosely based on whodunits from the 20s. I love that movie, but it's surrealistic indeed. My last movie was Harry Potter 7. I liked it.

I have a rather loud voice.

I got psychology, but actually studied classical languages...

Facebook in exam period, showers (we used to just have a bath in our house, showers are so much quicker!), call phone...

BA in English and Latin MA in Linguistics Currently MA in European Studies.

Why did they kick you out?

That immediately drastically limits your choice. But earns appreciation from me :)

I was a vegetarian for 6 years. Then gave it up.

I love my family, I would pretty much do anything for them. No, I would do anything for them. We had our problems, but no more than a normal family. If anyone watches Modern Family here, I come from the Phil-Claire family type.

You should however be prepared that they will probably ask you to make it a bit shorter. Would you be willing to do that? Or do you think it should be exactly as he wrote it?

Find an editor? I finished it in one read too. I'm sure people would want this published.

I like the sound and smell of snow, but I am absolutely repulsed by slush, the evil and retarded twin brother of snow.

This book humbles me. It's exactly as he puts it, I do feel it's an incredible waste that such an able and well-read guy has to die. But he convinced me he needed to.

Welcome!

Harry Potter series (JK Rowling) Angela's Ashes (Frank McCourt) Blindness (Jose Saramago) Mevrouw Verona daalt de heuvel af (Dimitri Verhulst) That last book is in Dutch, but one of the nicest I've ever read.

ApostateAbe, your friends story really got to me. It also offers an interesting insight in how people think about these things. One of my best friend's mother killed herself. My friend and I were 17 at the time. We searched the house for a suicide note, but found nothing. He later found a word...

Dr Google learned me that it is in face "cui servire est regnare" and not qui. Phew. I can sleep again at night. Also the "he" in fact is God and it's from the Anglican book of prayer. Random fact of the day.

I voted somewhat unattractive. If you desire to see my face, visit my profile page. I think my face is OK, but my body is not. Simple truth. And although I will get comments that I should think further than that and should be past this kind of stuff, I do feel that it stops many people feeling...

isn't that called synesthesia? But I have that too. It's amazing. I have that with history, but also have that with other things. Like a CD I got for Christmas, that reminds me of carols and christmas meals whenever I listen to it. The memories are really lively. I love those moments.

Could it be that you meant cui instead of qui? The sentence does not make grammatical sense otherwise. It then reads, 'to him/her, serving is ruling'. I did four years of Latin at university, hated it, graduated and did something else. That is where I am today: European studies, good times.

No, it shows I majored in Latin. I was just about to respond with cuique suum, which is Latin for to each his own. Would that be considered coolguy jones or just pedantic?

Why? And btw, shrooms are like the retarded babies of good psychedelics.

Might be just to know who you're talking to?

True enough. OK, I quickly took a picture of myself to show my approval with your point. It's still not very visible, but you should get a general idea of my appearance.

Fair enough.

It's indeed synthetic, ergo less dangerous I like the fact that synthetic drugs have no lasting impact on my brain, and are not addictive when used normally. Also, I don't like smoking things.

I did :) but you can't survive on that forever.

Well, today is not a good example, since I spent 3 hours here probably, instead of doing anything, but most days would be divided between uni, work for uni, the student newspaper, going to the gym, and internet. CoryJames, how do you survive on such a small amount of sleep? I would go insane.

That's true, but I feel that in daily life, people already judge enough only by looks. I always wonder what they really think of me, apart from that. But in a few days, sure. You seem to have a very negative expectation of forum people and their looks ;)

Then you definitely should try 2C-E, 2C-I. Whenever you want to experience what talkative, emotional people are like: methylone. OK, I didn't want to come across as a junkie, I do still have a normal life. Oh well.

Ignoring sarcasm is one of my few joys in life. But in all honesty, I would welcome that kind of substance in a relationship.

Just because I can :) YouTube - What Would Jay-Z Do?

Unfortunately, although there are guys like this in abundance, I don't care for this type.

Can't help you there. The situation you just described feels all too familiar. Saying it myself is another problem. Any experience on that?

What is it exactly you can't tell? If a user is a girl or a boy? Or if it's a boys-only forum? Answer 1: I can't tell the difference myself. As with indigofireflies. Although the username should've tipped me off, I suppose. Answer 2: There were threads like "confessing your love" which were...

But weed often just makes people laugh for a bit, like they had to much alcohol (at least in my experience). It is true that I have only tried weed in very small portions and it never did anything for me. But when you can have stuff like 2C-E and the like (some of which are even legal, at least...

I don't think that is a bad skill set, actually. I actually found it weird that there were so many guys here (although you turned out to be a girl), and wondered if I accidently joined a boys-only forum.

Well, my post might've been somewhat exaggerated. I guess my early childhood was quite alright, which means a lot in later life. And I like the anonymity of fora. For pictures, I have facebook.

22. It's on my profile, so you could've been a creep, checked it out there, and I would never have known. So kudos for asking.

Lovely. Adderall is even freely on the market in the US, wikipedia tells me. I never know about these psychostimulants. When short of time, they clearly have their value, but the crash the day after (when you pull an all nighter) is not fully worth it in many cases. Also, I think that weed...

Is this somehow linked to trauma? I am a semi-regular user of recreative drugs for introspection and enjoyment, but I try not to link it with trauma or study, as it would lose its meaning to me, I suppose.

This was my name on another forum I was on in my early teens. It means "bridge" in Ancient Greek and I felt really smart for using it. I remind you again that I was 13 at the time.

If only that were true.

Done!

I actually often find men more enigmatic once you pass the acts they have to perform to come across as 'manly'. But that's just my point of view.

I would also guess 1-3 hours. Whenever I have a day that is low on classes and social life though, this increases immensely.

I suppose not, although it might be viewed as common courtesy? When I last visited a forum, facebook did not even exist yet (before you think I'm 80: I was on a forum when I was 13-15) Thanks JarNew, I love the quote too! It's from Lynn Hall.

I absolutely adore Kent (although I don't really speak Swedish that well - we learned it in Swedish class). Maybe you should listen to "Panda" of the Swedish band Dung?

'Twas out of ignorance and not foul manners, so I hope I will be forgiven. I have this vague plan writing a dystopian novel ('the best of all time' I add on good days), was browsing some sites on reading materials and got here by accident. As I have no attention span worth mentioning, I...
