Hmm. Eat cheesecake and watch Ocean's Eleven. And yes, I'll be in town briefly over Christmas (long about when everyone else has left Provo).

If you hold it on the 14th, you should hold it in my honor. (It's my birthday.)

Looks like Cogn. and I were posting at the same time. I will say that one of my more miserable experiences in YW was when our teacher more or less bore her testimony of the evilitude of The Simpsons. (She'd caught part of an episode and the satirical aspect had gone over her head.)

As a small aside, I've found in my dealings with people that someone's love of the Simpsons is directly correlated with how much I'll get along with them. It's always seemed to be a really accurate barometer to gauge how intelligent, knowledgeable, witty, sarcastic, and esoteric someone is. Those a...

Apparently we hang out together a lot. Maybe we should have a party or something?

I'm glad my story was enjoyed. I'm not going to lie, there's a less-humble part of me that dreams of having an answer appear in the top 10 favorites some day, but those that are in there are awfully entrenched (I think they are all well over a year old). I believe in the future version of the Board...

Sorry, I forgot to include a "none of the above" response . . .

I think that could be the single summary phrase of what makes me like a book or not: the depth of its players---how real they seem to me. I am one of those vividly imaginative people, and the world of Hogwarts just didn't spark it for me. How odd. The character development is one of the biggest rea...

Apparently my new ward here in Maine celebrated it, t...
