Halo

Almost certainly the most WTF thing I've ever seen from Japan

To be honest, one of the comments is significantly more disturbing than the actual video.

Resistance: Fall Of Man RP

I was gonna post a continuation of the conversation post-Nexbomb, but I've been out late the past two nights and will be again tonight, so I may not have a chance until tomorrow.

Cheap Death in Storys?

I'd like to think about this and reply in more depth later, but the first thought in my mind is "no". Mainly because death is not the only cause of tension in stories. Hypothetically, a character could be brought back to life, but their marriage to their wife could still slowly crumble into nothing. Inserting necromancy into, let's say, Fitzgerald's work, would be bizarre and would somewhat ruin the tone of the story, but would not eradicate the sense of tension in the relationships and the downfalls of the characters.

Have you ever spring loaded food off your dick

Of course I have. It's the most efficient way of ingesting sustenance and obtaining nutrition, after all.

English is amazing, you guys.

I really enjoyed studying Literature in High School. Came out with an A+.But as soon as I studied it at A-levels...I just completely lost it. Poetry is not my forte...Seamus Heaney...*shivers*Although learning The Great Gatsby, L'etranger, The Butcher Boy, and The Catcher in the Rye was quite fantastic.

I'm doing the Scottish equivalent of A-Level right now, and I too am... well, I have to actually work now, although I've still not actually read anything we've studied this year. And I fucking loathe Seamus Heaney's poetry. Perhaps I'd react differently if studied it now, but I refused to do an essay on his poems when I studied them several years ago and wrote about Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 instead.
Interestingly, we study Fitzgerald, but not The Great Gatsby - we do Tender is the Night and The Beautiful and Damned instead. I think his ideas and characterisation are fascinating, the inextricable interweaving of plot, character, setting, and all other aspects - but I can't stand actually reading the books. By necessity for the point he is trying to make, they are somewhat dull - not much happens. While that makes for fascinating conceptual discussion, scouring the book for relevant quotes becomes arduous beyond belief. I think that's what started to wear my enjoyment of literature thin.

I felt the same way after reading The Metamorphosis last week.

Kafka, right? I've wanted to read that for a very long time - I watched a speechless dance-theatre version of it done by the Royal Opera House here in the UK, and it was just incredible. I'm guessing you would recommend it, then?

I gotta say, I love writing!

Well, this is a roleplaying site after all... I think we all love writing, here. 'Tis a wonderful thing.

I've been feeling a growing dissatisfaction and lack of motivation for bothering to do English, considering I completely don't need it for my university courses, but it's just been completely rekindled by studying Chekhov. Even going back and writing an essay about Fitzgerald feels more interesting now. There is colour where once there was only grey.

Literature is fucking awesome. Just thought I'd share.

my friends are pushy

Smiral, you're a strong, independent black woman. Stand up fo' yourself, gurl.
Just tell 'em you don't feel like going, maybe say you feel a bit ill as a viable excuse. Or go and just head home early.

I'm supposed to go to a party this Friday, and I'm trying to figure out how to get out of it.#onepercent

Just... say you don't want to go? How did you end up under the expectation to go?
