Just post whatever comes to mind.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.
If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.
Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

I always thought I'm Shipping Off to Boston sounded like an Ork song.Flanker once posted re-written lyrics from the perspective of an orc being shipped into battle. Can't remember where though...

Basically, I got interested in Harry Potter before it was cool, making my mom read me the books before I could myself. Then I lost interest and she didn't. But anyway she went to Berzerkely about halfway through the death of the counterculture, as an art major, so it seems inevitable to me somehow. Why am I saying all this.
She also has a bunch of old sci fi books.

@Norn Well it's kind of an interesting return to the pre-Kantian idea of philosophy as a foundation, rather than philosophy as something that criticizises and appraises rather than invents and produces.
The owl of Minerva taking flight at dawn, to scout out new land rather than taking flight at dusk to judge what has been built and finding what little pockets of light remain, to use a pretentious and self-indulgently referential * way of speaking.

I saw Deathly Hallows on saturday. It was the first Harry Potter movie I sat through from start to finish. Now I want to read the books.

If you leave a bunch of eleven-year-olds to their own devices, what you get is Lord of the Flies. Like a lot of American kids, I read this book in school. Presumably it was not a coincidence. Presumably someone wanted to point out to us that we were savages, and that we had made ourselves a cruel and stupid world. This was too subtle for me. While the book seemed entirely believable, I didn't get the additional message. I wish they had just told us outright that we were savages and our world was stupid.
Enteresant.
Apropos of nothing, appropriately (ahaha), I think my Russian professor thinks I'm on drugs.

...it's not really her fault, I don't suppose.This sentence is unpleasant to me.
I don't like it.

It's not a matter of the content, I don't think. So it must be something about the apparent double negation :D

Well, I only knew of one ("ITT: Size Tags"), but yeah, it disappeared quietly this afternoon.

I remember, when I was a kid, my dad, my sister and I used to try to create sentences with triple negatives, quadruple negatives, and so on.
Fun waste of time.

Something about reality breaking with comment tags.. It was just as annoying as it sounds.
