    Psychic abilities

    My experiences amount to waking up a Tuesday night at 0:40 with that weird feeling that something was wrong. I decided it must just have been a noide from the roof that woke me up and I went back to sleep. Then at 1 when I was just about to fall asleep again the phone rang. I wondered who it...

    Another...Book List. Grrrrr!

    No, not quite the only one. I read Of Mice and Men in school when I was 17, I think. I didn't like it either. So you're not alone. It may just be because I wasn't quite able to appreciate the book at that time, but so far I'm with you on the not liking Steinbeck :p

    Have you ever.....

    I don't, in fact. I don't think I need one for that one episode either. Just because I'm the only one here who has the guts to admit that someone's death might have made the world a better place. I'm pretty sure a lot of people cheer everytime a criminal is executed. Mostly the people who were...

    Have you ever.....

    Oh woops, no, I missed that. I was in a bit of hurry. lol there I went and posted something totally superfluous, eh? Rather moronic :p Ban me! *chuckles*

    Have you ever.....

    That's interesting. That people would be offended for what I thought about that whole thing I could understand. That you think I should pretend to be something I'm not.... that's very interesting, and goes directly against the idea about not comforming the others have just agreed so heartily on...

    Have you ever.....

    My taste has nothing to do with my mood. They're two very different and completely seperate things. I study literature - I can usually seperate good from bad, but from there to also magically be in a good mood... ehm, dunoo how you imagine that would happen. Not that it matters. Anyways, to...

    Have you ever.....

    Sorry. I tend to lean towards the blacker moods generally - I'll leave y'all to it. Speaking as an Admin I've only made one questionable banning... and the decision was not mine alone so thankfully I can rest in the knowledge that others agreed with me. Other than that I generally make a...

    Have you ever.....

    That's what I did. I left. The other situation that drove *me* to the brink of suicide wasn't an online episode - it was in real life and it was a guy from my school. Then it suddenly becomes much harder to walk away from. But the original situation I mentioned *was* online. I didn't even get...

    Have you ever.....

    That may be so. The hurt was not so much mine - I mainly got annoyed and angry, no the hurt party was the Moderator who found it appropriate to flame me. His lies had hurt her so bad that she was on the brink of suicide - she blamed me because of his lies, but she didn't know any better. I'm...

    Have you ever.....

    Hehe, I know how you feel. I've left boards for a similar reason. I was flamed openly on a board by one of its moderators - she lost her position of course (the Admin was an okay person) - but my liking for the board and all the people who sided with the bitchy moderator had severely declined...

    Role-playing and Literature

    The site I Admin has a section for forum RPs. It's www.icewinddale.com You could also visit Shadow of the Dragon gaming forums - though take noto that the forum is down these days but should be up again sometime next week, I think. So the link should not remain faulty :p It's...

    Role-playing and Literature

    Oof, big question. I'd have to start out saying I disagree with your definitions. Most role-players I know started out with the computer games and then went to the table-top, I myself am one of them(and I belong in your preferred group) What I see as making the major difference is maturity...

    Double Standard? & a question

    In regards to what the thread started with: She had sex with a minor, she should be prosecuted for that. She overstepped the boundaries that comes with being a teacher, she should be punished for that. From there to being a sexual predator? I'm sorry.... what? There is this funny difference...

    Words Needed

    @ the gender determination thing. In Danish we have a word for the woman who is your mother's sister - moster. And a word for your father's sister - faster. And a word for the woman who married a parent's brother - tante = aunt. An aunt is per definition someone that is not blood-related to...

    Words Needed

    Not at all. A 'hygge' situation could be a family spending time together making Christmas decorations or something. It can be many things. Coming home from a cold walk and share a pot of warm tea. It's mostly about enjoying the company of others, though not as physical as the hug novella refers...

    Fantasy/ sci fiction trilogy

    Sounds likely to me. I read it ages ago and wrote a paper on it. I remember I thought they were good.

    Words Needed

    I'd have to say: If I'm talking to a person who's telling me he went bowling with his sister I don't need anything instead of the word 'sister' to tell me that the GUY I'm talking to is a guy. I'd think that info would come from context. So I disagree with you on the need for that particular...

    football mag for anyone?

    Ahh yes, and try to answer the questions asked instead of just being offended at our puzzledness :)

    What crime did Jeffrey Archer commit?

    LOL I'm not surprised, Kenny. I doubt this is the forum where I'll find a bunch of computergame addicts. I have a pc gaming 'career' of 7 years behind me and a D&D gaming career of 3 years ditto. I answer so incredibly many questions about the games Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale on another...

    Your Reading Style??

    I'm born that way so I know how you feel :p To be honest, I haven't a clue. Probably between 5 and 10 I think. It depends very much on the month. I'm studying and do not always have time enough to spend indulging my reading urges. Sadly. Converting university reading to novel-format, though, I'm...
