Congratulations.
Good luck finding a job.
Laughs were had with this reading.

Arizona FTW.
Link please? My internet connection sometimes blocks YouTube for some reason and with it, embedded videos.

Unless you live in Arizona.
I was going to say that...

I always forget about this. probably because it does not affect me. . Thank God for making our land one of eternal sunlight (OR DAYLIGHT?!) that does not need to be saved.
(though the summer heat...)

Them existing all together in their in-universe appearances would be nightmarish enough. And they would no longer be bound by Lego's censors, so true epic horror would unleashed.

Depends on the leg.

I'd rather be burned and my ashes scattered over what I decree to be sacred ground. When the End Times come, I'll come back together in a small twister of dust, be reformed and immortal, and say, "Tah-dah!"

Of all the things under your tags section, why is 'cockroach' there? Nasty arse li'l things...

One can hope it is a worthwhile job, that meaning it touches your soul and makes you eager to attend to it when you wake up. I despise soulless jobs...

I wrote out a sizable post here, but a brief series of misfortunes made me click on something to another page and thus lose what I wrote. I will attempt to write out what I said before, but I must apologize if I sound annoyed in any way.
I too used to read books. Like drawing, reading was my was to escape school and homework, but ever since I graduated high school I have had too many distractions (i.e. video games) that serve to have a more immediate means of entertainment than what books can provide, thus giving me little will to read despite my yearning to.
I still buy books, however. My mother says that it is a waste of money as I either read only some of them or just not at all; but I enjoy having a library. I have a little comfy chair, paintings (one historical, two scenic), maps and globes aplenty, a 'fancy' lamp, a few ornamental German beer thingies, an atom model, and Lego architect models that my brother forcibly put on the bookshelf. My bedroom is my den and I use it to get away if need be. Just pop in a Bach CD, sit on the chair, drink juice from my Navajo mug while reading The Prince (still need to get an English-translation of Anti-Machiavelli by Frederick II Hohenstaufen).
Good reads, eh? Here are a few, personally (in no particular order):
- - God's Undertaker (non-fiction, covers science and religious discussion and reboots future discussions)
- - The Alexiad (non-fiction, a contemporary biography of the Roman Emperor Alexios Komnenos and the rise of the Komnenos Dynasty; schnit gets pretty epic here)
- - The Giver (fiction, a heart-felt dysotopian tale; I currently do not have this)
- - A Princess of Mars (fiction, ex-CSA soldier gets sent to Mars, or rather Barsoom, and embarks on an epic journey that influences later 20th/21st Century fantasy).
- - Beowulf (epic legend, follows the hero Beowulf in his (graphic) monster slayings and rise to power in early-medieval Scandinavia; the first known piece of English literature and contains a mixture of Christian and pagan influences).
- - The Silmarillion (fiction, is J.R.R.Tolkien's grand origin story for the Middle-Earth mythopoeia)
- - And of course, the Holy Bible (though it is admittedly hard to drink juice to such a large collection of books, forgive me Lord ).
Reading Wikipedia history pages are good too.

I haven't had a physical internet connection in years. I don't even remember what it is like to have a good connection.
What you said at the end reminds me of my interpretation of things attributed to Providence. Huh.

For a while, i was studying some Steppe folks and Tengriism. One time, I actually wondered why people nowadays don't burn the casket carriers with the corpse itself to ensure it is protected in the next life, then I wondered "Wait, what is wrong with me?"

I remember this show. There was a narrative? And knowing Viacom, this is probably a cash grab.

Make him/her have read hair and have the same face and cigar as Fidel Castro (regardless of gender).

Glad you passed. I'm going to take an exam soon to see if I can get into a college, hope it isn't as stressful as your experiences.

Okie-mcdokie. Is there a place on Earth that you would like to vist just to see the natural landscape? For me, it'd be the Eurasian Steppe.

Nope. I'm as lost as a child in Tienanmen Square on happy fun tourist sale day.

You are treating Pridak like I Hate Everything treats Aquaman. At least you have some good points. Modern Aquaman is cool... >n>
