I'm a girl so I figure a small would fit me. Could I claim a small 2012?

Hey MI!

You have my Skype details. Please let's talk.

I have a lot of sympathy for this. I lied in high school a lot, because I was afraid too. I was very deft at using the truth to deceive people. Lies of omission and word play were an exercise in creativity.

For years, I had the ability to sense what people wanted of me and become that. It left me so unsure of my identity I used to obsess over my name just to have some sense of self.

It's hard to move on from that. But you can. Lying becomes part of who you are - you identify yourself as a good liar the same way I identified myself as an analyst. But there are other things you can choose to identify yourself with. You're a writer. That's another part of identity.

What you choose to be now is entirely up to you. Carpe diem.

On BZPower, you do not ask for good luck, you ask that people don't burn you too badly.

One time I inadvertently listened to an ad which had really nice background music, because my actual video was more music.

It was great, I got to add a new song to my collection.

I should teach you to write Hindi alphabets so you can see just how usefully diacritics work in practice. We don't even have a diacritic for 'a' - it's implied. Makes words much shorter.

Oh, and the solution is to have an independent form for the vowel for when it's not attached to a consonant. That's what we do in Hindi. Also lets you have words when the vowel is the starting sound.

Edit: Double comment merged.

Oh oh oh. You need to listen to 'Tequila Sunrise' by the Eagles. The potential for puns is too high!

It's another Tekulo sunrise,

Spreading slowly across the skyyy

I support everything Zox said. I also recommend Coldplay (start with Fix You), Poets of the Fall (start with Carnival of Rust) and the Narrative (start with Eyes Closed).

I totally used this joke on at least three people.

Do you think you'll ever live outside of Texas?

I used to use Magneto for my signature on BS01. I kinda like Mistral, a friend used it for his sig and I always admired it.

Hear the Angels Sing, or Long Time Ago in Bethlehem. I'm not entirely sure what it's called but it's the first I ever sang for our music class's Christmas concert.

We had homework due today. Prof titled it "Due Thursday (“Remember, remember”) the 5th of November, at 10:30am" and then quizzed us on V for Vendetta in class.

Yeah, it helps to take a hole-istic approach to problems.

The contrast hurts my eyes a bit and nostalgia hurts too, but it's a nice look.

I recognized the name Ektris, but that might just be since I read all the Toa Sectra bios years ago.

This changes everything.

You're related to Akano? How did I not know this?

Also, Tomana, you do realize that bringing that conversation up again is more likely to make me angry at you than Lin, right?

Congrats to all!

I'm not sure whether I'd make good use, but I'd like to be considered. (I still don't have finances of my own, yay being an Asian college student.)

WHAT DO YOU VALUE MORE

YOUR SKYPE FRIENDS OR YOUR TUXEDO

a.k.a Tomana and KH will stop nagging tired Swerts?

Are the Toa Metru involved?

No

Having beer is a good idea.

...Once you've had a mug or two already.

I must admit, I'm a little irritated they gave him that blank expression at the end. Sherlock is NOT shocked. Ever.

And John was so endearing and child-like without a moustache.

And it's coming out when I go to college and have neither time nor resources to access it.
