*waves*

hello...this is my first time peeking into the room, although I've lurked for awhile to 'test the waters' so to speak.

And this seems to be the best way to throw out an intro to me, so here goes:
1.What is your name? (a believable alias is preferred)

>>>Angela Stenberg, but I prefer to be called Gie.

2.What is your ethnicity?

>>>Well, I gots a lot of Swede in my blood, but I also have some Irish, and some Chippewa, too.

3.How old are you? (if you don't want to give me your real age then give me something close to your real age)

>>>Older than a zygote, and not as ancient as dirt. Or, otherwise known as 28.

4.Where are you from? (country or region will do)

>>>Born and bred in SE Wisconsin...moo! And yes, I call it a bubbler, so nyahhhhh..

5.What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and inclinations)

>>>Well, from my Swedish ancestors I have inherited my um..healthy...figure and my love of chocolate. ALthough I can't ski worth snot. Irish, maybe my temper, and Chippewa...umm...er...scrathes head* maybe my love for nature.

Whelp, I hope to post again at some point, although I tend to lurk a lot in other chatrooms, MB, ec. I'm completely addicted to anime`, especially Dragonball Z and Ranma 1/2 (I swear I have a strain of Saiya-iin blood)

Oh well...

Well it's offical, I now have a deep hatred of Disney. After seeing an Episode of Teamo Supremo I now believe Disney has dropped to the level of the simpsons.
(the latest scrape the bottom of the barrel story lines.)

Why do disney think we want to watch cartoons of that quality?????

It's sickening just like the proud family and pepper ann and Lloyd in space!

Can't Disney put something new and interesting on? The more I watch the more I wish they made more gargoyles episodes.

And as for the sequals they've done... well, the less said the better!

They currently show "Buffy" here on Fridays rather than Tuesdays (the vagaries of local St. Louis programming); I saw the season premiere last night, therefore.

* SPOILERS *

I quite liked it. I wonder if those "ghosts" were anybody in particular from the first three seasons or just characters specifically invented for that episode. I also wondered whether Dawn's two new friends would be her "Willow" and "Xander".

Buffy finally has a new day-job - and who'd have thought that it'd be in Sunnydale High? (Well, maybe it wasn't so surprising). At least it gives her a good reason to be there for the real purpose of monitoring the Hellmouth and watching over Dawn.

I wonder what the significance of that opening scene in Istanbul was.

Spike's gone loonier than ever now that he's gotten his soul back. I'd like to know just who that mysterious entity was that took on the likeness of the various "Big Bads" from past seasons - although, even before we know, it was a lot of fun to see those cameos from the Master, the Mayor, Glory, Drusilla, et al.

A good start to this season, I'd say. (Too bad, though, that everybody keeps on thinking that Buffy's Dawn's mom. :) ).

Career day on campus. Nanded out a few resumes, one to the evil empire.

Imzadi> <<Pretty sure I kicked ass on my morning wood midterm>>: So did I. Then she went and docked more points off one question than the question was worth. On pointless things. Why, yes, I am bitter. Why do you ask?
<<And where, pray tell, would they put it?>>: Orbit.
<<That sucks>>: Thank you for your support.
<<Very well, Mary>>: Can I call you Al?
<<They already stand out like sore thumbs, could it get worse?>>: Of course it can get worse.

Spacebabie> <<pollution?>>: It may be pollution, but it's cosmic power granting pollution.

Silverbolt> <<are you sure you're not related to Baldrick from Blackadder somehow?>>: Or Jan Jansen, the Baldur's Gate Theif/Illusionist gnome.

Gunjack> <<did anyone else notice how friendly Hyatt got with that microphone?>>: Wait for episode 26. What goes before does not compare.
<<Just finished Ep 12>>: But Nabeshin is the man, no?
<<Wouldja? Please?>>: First one's up. If you want me to skip to Kodama, let me know, same for if you want to keep rotating through all 42 eps.
<<I'll do, y'know, stuff>>: What kind of... stuff?
<<Not cool. Hope it gets better, mano>>: Thank you for your support, but judging from her attitude, she probably won't be changing her mind anytime soon.
<<That one took me a LONG time to catch>>: And so my job here is done.

Aaron> <<Night Elves are weak, useless cowards who tremble before the might of the scourge>>: Melee is for ignorant brutes. Range is what it's all about.

he phoned me up at work. i yelled. then i called the police, you know, reporting a stolen item.

no, the bastard didnt give it to his mother in law.. that way, you see, i might have a chance of tracking it. instead, he gave it to the salvation army thrift store, in peterborough, where it is most likely being worn by one of the stupid sh!ts that screwed me over during my entire highschool career. isnt that lovely? mmmmmtheft.

i believe the term would be "angry beyond all reason." yeah. something like that.

ill also be removing his surname from my legal name.

I just burned my first music CD. Yaaaa!!!

Aaron - <Do you even know *how* to rampage, lad?> It's the joy of having the permit. *Whistles, a portal opens, and out falls an overgrown filling cabinet* See the file cabinet. It's full of permits. Quite a few of them are permits to have other permits.

Spacebabie - <No he scares me.> Which version? Are you talking about the one without any morals, but has absolute and unconditional loyalty to me? That version never tells him what his daily activities are, claiming the lack of knowledge is for my own good.

Happy birthday Coyote.

Imzadi - <Wish I could get my brother's printer to work by doing the same thing. Finally told him to call Apple.> The hard part was the damn thing wanted to use floppies to install the printer.

Lain - <oh yes my friends. a new all-time low.. > I'm outraged, but I shouldn't be. Essentially the media and the stand-up comics pick their favorite candidates.

Now, I have to prepare another CD full of programs.

Thanks to my dad, I managed to get an oil change and oil filter replaced today.

Just a quick comment here! :)

Gunjack> Do you need the program that removes the NIMDA virus thingy from your computer? I got the virus on my home computer after a gal I work with sent it to me sometime last year ... and I still have the file that removes it saved on a disk if you want me to send you a copy. :) I think she got the removal thing from online somewhere, so it's out there someplace, I just don't know where. Good luck! :)

Getting ready to go see Tuxedo tonight :) Yay, Jackie Chan! Yay! Chan's the man! Yay, Jackie Chan!

:: does a happy kitty dance ::

mmm!!! funzies!!!

Also, got a complete set of Gargoyles comics for $15 bucks from a local boy who put up the auction the very night I checked e-bay!!! He hand delivered them to me today. Wow, small world. One of my old boyfriends was his sister's ex, and his girlfriend is a girl I see all the time at Wallmart.

Anyhoo, sweet collection, very tight with no yellowing. It's to replace my collection (signed by writer and artist) that I'll donate to the next Gathering auction. woo hoo!

I'm talking to the writer, and he's said he'll look for his old notes and stuff from the last storyline that never got completed. I am doing another happy dance, because I always wanted to know what happened to Venus. She was the creation of Goliath's and Demona's dna in the comic books, and last we left her she was in a lip lock with the big guy that really raised the temperature.

Woo hoo!

Also went to the Disney store today to use the 10 dollar gift certificate I got from pre-ordering Monster's Inc and spending 50 dollars... Because of a glitch in the register programming, DVDs were ringing up $10 each! The clerk clued me in, and I got 6 DVDs at $10 each, plus pre-ordered the Beauty and the Beast DVD and got the lithograph set and another $10 gift card. yay!!!! Actual cash spent, 70+ bucks, actual haul 7 dvds (once my Beauty and the Beast comes in), litho set, and gift card!

Doing the Shopping Is Good Today dance of appreciation. Oh great gods of shopping and purchase, thank you! thank you!

I got Mickey's House of Villians, Atlantis, Tarzan and Jan, Return to Neverland, and Hunchback of Notre Dame... And the complete School House Rock collection! Yay!!!

Atlantis, because it's sort of the same universe as Gargoyles, and that alone make's it worth $10, and Hunchback... well to see a Disney movie with songs of Hellfire and Damnation is worth $10 easy, even if it screws with the actual book. I firmly bite my tongue and think "Disney is an alternate universe. Disney is an alternate universe. Disney is an alternate universe..." And totally diff from the books they are ripping.

So much cartoony goodnes... Going to get box of Corn Pops and some milk and just watch animation all day some day next week.

And the CR poll, cause I haven't yet...

Name - Michael Singleton, but call me Mike. Or Moochie, or Val, or Gunjack, even. Just not Giggles. I hated that name...

Ethnicity - Biologically, not a clue. In soul, I'm painfully white. I kill phat grooves just by walking by. I am the Square.

Age - 20, commonly mistaken for five years or so more than that. It's the youth spent in riotous living,says I...

Origin - Albany, New York, though Texas is my home. Currently attending school in Arkansas. I hope to be a Canadian some day.

What have you inherited? - The singleton Nose (and good LORD, but it's a whopper!), The Singleton love for argument, a keen mind, and an unhealthy craving for fat sacks of cash money. No one knows where the obsession with things that go bang came from, but I enjoy it immensely.

Well, I got no sleep... tried unsucsessfully to remove NIMDA from my comp, and watched a teeeeensy bit too much Excel Saga. In that recap episode, did anyone else notice how friendly Hyatt got with that microphone? o.O ...And now it's the weekend. I have five hours on desk tonight, but hey, I need to catch up on some homework anyway.

Gside><<Get to episode 26 yet?>> Nope... Just finished Ep 12. Loving every minute of it, but I have too much to do for a real hardlining session... <<One of the evil characters, Nagai Mokuren, had the weapon Kodama that let him control plants.>> Uh... yeah. o.O <<My Recca episodes are pretty small, and I think I could fit one on my eden account.>> Wouldja? Please? I'll do, y'know, stuff...
<<Not quite happy today.>> ...Not cool. Hope it gets better, mano...
<<That's not a really good color for armored cars.>> That one took me a LONG time to catch... but it earned a good laugh when I did. Thank you.

Lain><<...and a goodly british accent, when i get REALLY tired, from the pair of them...>> Mmmmmmmheheheheheheheh... :D
<<*American President link*>> Yeah. I get the feeling that this should disturb me more than it already does... But the guy who wrote the article is right. It's pretty much what we do already, and stewardship government died a long time ago, so why the heck not? It's still ignomineous, but then, so was Florida.

Imzadi><<Okay, you stupid RP people need to get a life.>> Scuse me? Intruding into a personal deal here? <<You sound like the South Park crew playing "Americans and Bosnians". "I shot you!" "No you didn't, I have anti-american-bullet shielding!" "No you don't!" "Yes I do!" "well I have anti-bosnian-shielding bullets that can go through your shields!">> But that's the FUN, laddie; using your imagination inventively!

Lynati><<oh, they weren�t magic-based after all. I just saw �Clockwork gunslingers� and �hordes of Ubrazzja� and figured they were. But it�s a character list!>> Yeah, characters and races... Some new, some going back ten years or so... I left off the REALLY old stuff, though... I just can't say "General goodbad with a straight face any more... :P
<<Hey, I may be too busy but no one is stopping you.>> It's like Scorched Earth (the game): no fun without a second player. besides, the mood's gone now.
<<If you feel the room is limiting your comments, you can just send them to me, if you care enough.>> I intend to... I'm just waiting for your letter first. I figure I might as well listen a little before shooting off my mouth again. That make sense?
<<*continues to give Gunjack a strange, hurt look*>> I honestly have no idea what that's trying to convey, so...
<<Or continue refuse to give me answers to the questions I asked you 11 months ago that you PROMISED to send and never did. I guess I need better bait to get that.>> ...Funny, I thought I HAD. Sometime in last semester, in fact. but okay, deal. Email on the way soon as I finish this.
<<Handing Silverbolt a helmet and acting as though I was going to rant at him and �shoot the heck out of the CR� after he'd apologized.>> "Cascading Melee" means an RP, not a flame war. And the helmet was so he wouldn't catch a ricochet. See, the joke's not any fun when you have to explain it...

Spacebabie><<:::Chibi Squall places a wad of ABC gum in Aaron�s hand before going to see if Gunjack has any materials for him to clean his gun blade with.:::>> Sure, homes. Patches and jigs in the second drawer, carbide sharpeners in the third. ^_^

And so it goes, and so do I. Peace out, homedogs.

> What is your name? -- Christine Marie Morgan (nee Atkins)

> What is your ethnicity? -- German/Prussian on mom's side, English/Other on dad's. Paternal grandma always said "Heinz 57 Varieties" when asked her background.

> How old are you? -- 35 and 1/2

> What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? -- A control-freak's love of efficiency ;)

The family lore on Grandma's side has it that our earliest American ancestor was the younger troublemaking son of a Prussian noble house, sent to the States to get him out of their hair.

Interestingly, one of Tim's great-aunts claimed to have done a geneological chart that connects their branch of Morgans to one of the uncles of Captain Henry Morgan himself. Arrr!

I wanna do these questions too!

What is your name? Thomas W. Roberts

What is your ethnicity? British (they may be some Whelsh in me too but I'm not sure)

How old are you? 17 (though 18 in about 2 months)

Where are you from? (country or region will do) England, The Midlands area.

What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and inclinations) My granddads high and feet and domino tropies, my fathers nose, my mothers ability to hold in my rage until I explode :P But also I get my sense of right and wrong from both of them as well. (Having a detective for a dad and a teacher for a mum really does put you on the straight and narrow)

Spacebabie> <<My love of turnips from my Mom>> are you sure you're not related to Baldrick from Blackadder somehow?

<<My Ponies and She-Ra figures his He-Man and Transformers then we combined forces for an ultimate battle for world domination!>> I've still got my transformers, Optimus Prime stands proudly on my desk next to my Silverbolt Fuzor one :P

3.How old are you? (if you don't want to give me your real age then give me something close to your real age) 18

4.Where are you from? (country or region will do) Northeast Massachusetts (about 10 minutes from NH border)

5.What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and inclinations) My tendancy to blurt out life stories from my mom, my contant will to argue about something (be it stupid or somewhat relevent to society) from my dad, my sense of Humor from most of my mom's family. And like my immediate family, I'm somewhat of a leader. I haven't gotten a chance to "prove" that, but I'm certainly NOT a follower.

Hello all,
Bringing another TD review. The delay was caused by late-night partying with friends. Enjoy

<Warning Timedancer spoilers!> <Warning Timedancer spoilers!>

Timedancer Review: �The Air We Breathe�
Tagline: Samson becomes a man and doubts his place in the world.

Plotline: Samson undergoes a crisis of faith, but pulls out of it in time to stop a serial killer. In other news, bigotry and propoganda challenge the future Wyvern clan.

Review line: This is a much stronger outing for this season. On top of my list is the stronger focus on a central character. This was Samson�s story and throughout the episode we followed Samson. There was a real conflict not just establishing shots, but a problem that needed resolution. It also had great continuity. Samson�s wanted to patrol and be considered a warrior for the longest time, now he�s made it. Another big plus is that the good guys are getting wind of bad things happening. Both the pamphlet and the killings were troubles the clan focused on. Nice to see them working on real problems than the slightly boring personal problems.

On the downside, I didn�t see Gwen�s appearance as needed. Probably because it contained yet another yeiled warning of dark times ahead. She came in too late to help Samson and took off without saying anything more than �love ya, bye-bye�. The plot by the servant and his master felt like Quarrymen Revisited. From our list of like villains, this master could be Nicholas Hawkins, Harthoth, the Illuminati or some new wiggler. Best guest would be Nicholas. The Illuminati aren�t stupid enough to use a twice-failed strategy again. This doesn�t seem like Harthoth�s style and I don�t know why a new villain would be brought in when the ones available aren�t being used beyond plotting grand schemes.

One hope I have is that the future clan will take an active role in dealing with this bigotry. The present day clan handles it in a perplexing fashion. On the one hand, they acknowledge that people�s negative reaction to gargoyles is somehoe human nature, but on the other hand think mankind will spontaneously change. None of the clan put any effort into getting their side of the story out. I hope they�ll do things differently here. Heck, they have a gargoyle with first hand experience in some of the historical events. They could set up a counter campaign to the propaganda. Anything than the magical belief that people will impulsively change their minds. Truth needs to be spoke to have power.
<End of Spoilers! End of Spoilers!>

Bon Weekend!

Yeesh.... everyone was just mentioning how they were related to people... I just thought I would add... :( Its not really a big deal...i just thought it was kinda cool...

What have I done to make everyone mad at me in here? :(

Aaron> Yeah...I know, I was just mentioning as a extra tidbit....most of shakespeare's plays concerning that era of history were biased..because he was writing them for Queen Elizabeth..hence why her ancestors are praised and enemies not. :/

Imazidi> (sorry if I spelled it wrong. -_-;;) Practice? <:) I also used to study the Royal family geneology when I was a kid, focusing on the Tudor's a lot. Mary, Anne, Elizabeth, Jane, and Catherine (and derivatives thereof) were very popular during that time period, so it does become confusing at times...but..I guess the best way to think of it is like learning the presidents of the united states in school when you're young? Same thing?

Silverbolt (i think?)> I never heard that phrase before, it does help you remember though. <:)

Pretty sure I kicked ass on my morning wood midterm. Of course, the professor pretty much told us what was gonna be on it.

Yes, I do realize what I just said.

Steel design project is moving nicely. Spent the afternoon cleverly optimizing space in my suitcase (i.e. packing). Leave for New York tomorrow morning at the ACTUAL buttcrack of dawn.

Siryn: <<English history>>: How do you keep all those names straight!?

Aaron: <<Link?>>: No, it was in the issue. <<If it's in scale to this one it would be taller then I am>>: How gorgeous that would be. <<somebody still needs to build an in scale Death Star>>: And where, pray tell, would they put it? <<Or a coffee table>>: Hammock replacement.

Lain: << im sure id me MUCH less bitchy>>: One would think. Sometimes it has the opposite effect. <<father>>: Your dad sucks.

DPH: <>: Wish I could get my brother's printer to work by doing the same thing. Finally told him to call Apple. <<If it was part of a regular RP in the CR, I wouldn't worry>>: Who's worried? I just think they need a life. <<How did you learn that>>: My guess is by blowing something up.

Gside: <<lost 9/25 points over notation disagreements>>: That sucks! <<Well, I happen to like it>>: Very well, Mary. <<That's not a really good color for armored cars>>: They already stand out like sore thumbs, could it get worse?

Okay, time to go. I have to be up in 5.5 hours.

3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.

Two bits of good news:

I visit the chiropractor today. (I supposed to go last week, but he was on vacation, more about that later).

I got my printer to work after re-installing the software.

Do I need to send my hologram in here because the potential warzone?

Lain - <sorry, but i needed to share that. any volunteers up for strangling my father?> Hmm. Even I am not wouldn't do *that* stunt with my grandmother's belongings, even if it wastes a lot of space, it's worth the potential peace if one of my cousins comes wanting some of it.

Siryn - <I'm related to William the Conqueror (first 'established' King of England as it were)> So you and Green Baron are related. Big deal.

Imzadi - <Okay, you stupid RP people need to get a life.> If it was part of a regular RP in the CR, I wouldn't worry. <Against land mines!> Exactly. Damn JAG's season premiere for the showing the reality of land mines.

*ignores Hound of Ulster's little poll ...*

Aaron - <As I thought, this is the expired form,
ADGFDA4H8465/4. You need form ADGFDA4H8465/5.1, unless you intend to add opposing forces to the rampage, in
which case you also need to file supplementary form HV5G534HGHG/9.3. > *pulls out his forms for allowing him to rampage in any dimension, any universe, any time period. And no, those forms never goes out of date because interdimensional and intertemporal*

Fire Storm - <Reason #1 why you should NOT use a blowtorch on a sealed pipe: The end cap on the pipe will shoot out across the room like a frigging bullet! This has been your plumbing tip of the day!> How did you learn that?

Silverbolt - <how do you americans stand them?> Actually, I have a deeper question: how do astronauts fall asleep? Seriously, if they started to count everything that has to work in order for them to wake up peacefully in the morning, they would stay awake a little longer.

Spacebabie - <Good development of Samson. I think his reaction to the dead cop was pretty accurate.> *smiles*

Chiropractor - When I first started visiting just over a year ago, I always had to wait to get in and I didn't mind. But the last few months, I have been able to stroll in without any wait. That concerns me. If they're not full, I have to wonder if they're making money and the supposed vacation was there because they didn't have enough patients and needed to get the days more filled.

speaking of bitchy, i wrote a one line email to my father last night. hes being such a bastard. he threw out all of the photographs of my mothers artworks. when he told me this, over the phone, the exact quote was, "i found a stack of photos of your mothers pottery. i didnt know if you wanted it or not so i decided that you didnt." and poof, its already been incinerated. he also gave the silk-lined floor-length black cloak my mother had handmade for me to his new mother-in-law, and its somewhere in the ukraine now. nice that he asked before giving away my stuff. the email was about an heirloom tapestry coat that my mother gave to me that was in the same closet. if thats in the ukraine too, hed either better get it back, or i wont be seeing him again. words cannot express how angry i am. sure, HE might want to pole-vault over my mother like a bat outa hell, but maybe *I* dont. i can understand him not wanting to keep pictures of my mother cos, well, he has a new wife and it would be pointless to be showing them around saying "look how cool my first wife was." but you know, i MIGHT have kids someday, who MIGHT want to know what their grandmother was like. even now, val has never met my mother. he asked the other day, what she was like. where are the pictures i might want to show? how am i to illustrate? i wanted to make a catalogue of all of her work. well, tough sh!t for me. guess thats not important. i should have known when he started selling her artwork (which was also MINE, even though he "conveniently" forgot taking me into her studio two days after she died and saying "all this artwork is yours") in a FRIKING DRIVEWAY YARD SALE TO PEOPLE HES NEVER MET AND WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN. im so angry! HE PUT MY MOTHERS LIFES WORK IN A YARD SALE! i could STRANGLE him. i tell you, if he wants me to catch the hint that hes moving on from our family, its coming in loud and clear.

So I says to her, I says, "Well, maybe one day I'll get over my pride and prejudice and read it."

Just some henry 8th info. *british pride! heh*

First off, the church business. Yes very silly, but Henry was trying to find a way to divorce His first wife, he did all the usual details..and just got desperate in the end. (the church *HAD* granted divorces to other monarchs before, but since Catherine of Aargon was princess to the Spanish throne, and Spain and the CHurch were buddies, there was no way a divorce would have been granted) Also, because killing her would hurt alliences with Spain, obviously 'setting her up' wasn't an option. (Her nephew was the King of Spain at this present time)

Also, Henry was kinda 'forced' to marry Catherine to keep an alliance between England and Spain. (Catherine had originally been the bride/wife of the Black Prince, Henry's older brother, who was killed in a hunting accident (I think?))

Henry only had two of his wives sentenced to death, contrary to popular belief. (both btw, were cousins) Anne Bolyen it is historically believed was most likely innocent for the charges brought before her. However Katherine Howard (Henry's fifth wife) was. She did commit adultry and it was known she had had liasons in court. (That's what you get for having like a 40 year old guy wed a 15-16 year old girl) (Also, it is good to note that Anne, Jane, and Katherine were used as political pawns by their families to get on the king's 'good side')

Anne of Cleves, the German(or Dutch? I can't remember offhand) princess, was quietly divorced. Their marriage was a mainly a political move, and Henry, uninterested, had her quietly divorced. Anne lived the longest of any of Henry's wives, and she actually was treated VERY well as the divorced wife (had her own castle, servants, etc) A good reason to this probably was because she was OK with having the divorce. (Unlike Catherine of Aargon who simply would not have it...and sad to say, Henry was pretty horrible to her for it. :/)

Jane Seymour,(3rd wife) also died, but she died of complications after childbirth (giving birth to the Future King Edward). It is said that Henry really loved her, and he's even buried beside her to this day, so had she lived, he probably would have not remarried.

Katherine Parr, his last wife, (6th) outlived the King, but died several years later due to complications in childbirth (Her husband was Thomas Seymor, I think the cousin to Jane Seymor)

But yeah...Henry is *notorious*, but mainly because everyone has heard bits and pieces of his story. A lot of European monarchy history isn't very nice...ESPECIALLY the Popes of the Roman Catholic Church at the time..(but that's another story in itself)

I'm related to William the Conqueror (first 'established' King of England as it were) :) That's where my line goes back to (on my father's side I think?) We're related through one of his daughters. :)

Personally, if I had anyone I would think would be 'evil' it would be King Richard III. Who most likely had his nephews killed so he could succeed the throne for power. Shakespeare wrote a play about it. Rather interesting. :P (Whole, war of the Roses that kinda jump started the Tudor monarchy to begin with.)

BAH. Enough English history today. Must go to work!

Now i do write fics these days and my social life has dropped because of it, my friends don't understand why I write since I don't get paid anything but they don't understand the thrill of knowing that people read your stories and that you get the occasional reader who takes the time to send you feedback (only about 2 in 100 people usually) and you know that someone out there likes your ideas.

Oh yes and I have no problem with Lilo and Stitch (It hasn't come out over here yet but i want to see it when it does) I just have a problem with Garth Gates singing an Elvis song!

Ok there we go i wash my hands of this.

Woohoo! Finished our steel design project! That hanging walkway is NEVER coming down...provided the contractor uses the right bolts and rods. Basically, we've got a fiberglass deck spanning 70 feet held up by five sets of two 1/2" 36ksi rods. Includes a 1.2 factor of safety...I hope that's enough. Well, if not, our prof will tell us when he reviews our project status tomorrow.

Maxim really ripped into the entire Fanfiction world in their last issue. It was REALLY funny.

Pants game over in the S8 CR. Now THAT is funny.

Okay, you stupid RP people need to get a life. You sound like the South Park crew playing "Americans and Bosnians". "I shot you!" "No you didn't, I have anti-american-bullet shielding!" "No you don't!" "Yes I do!" "well I have anti-bosnian-shielding bullets that can go through your shields!"

Shoot me. Or them.

IX9: <<we can be pretty insulting, vicious and stubborn at times>>: I think that's true of all families. <<opportunity to direct her to apple.com>>: I really impressed one of my fellow engineering students when I told him my iBook had been running for 2 months straight prior to my shutting it down this weekend to upgrade the ram. The look was priceless. <<push the wonders of the Mac on the rest of them>>: Careful, you gotta start small. Once I get my dad to switch, I'll be content in my conversions.

Fire Storm: <<The end cap on the pipe will shoot out across the room>>: Or, as they say in physics: PV=nRT. <<we are family!>>: Please don't sing.

Spacebabie: <>: DER! <>: To add more curve to testicles!? That was way more about your sexual habits then I needed to know. <<Just curious what kind of adhesive did you use? Elmers? Superglue?>>: graphite.

Renee: <<Where do they find these people>>: Los Angeles would be my first guess. <>: Oh you liked that, did you? Well, next time there's a proposition on the ballot to allow private engineering firms to bid on public contracts, maybe you'll VOTE FOR IT YOU TREE HUGGIN DEMOCRAT!

Warpmind: <<A nerd's work is never done>>: Especially when he has family that needs tech support.

Green Baron: <<You crack me up sometimes>>: Thank you. It seemed appropriate. And she probably does smell. <<intellect, cute appearance, temprament, and fondness for commerce from them>>: Except for the first two.

Aaron: <<Tell me when they come out with one for the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer from Episode VI>>: I was hoping. But they didn't. Its just as well...it would be several feet long. But it'd make a nice mantlepiece! <<Do you require TP for your bunghole?>>: Doesn't everyone? <<Might as well get it out of the way>>: Darwin award winner.

Mooncat: <<Jasmine and Ariel doll, and customizing them into Elisa and Fox>>: Cuz, you know, disney women are such stretches from each other. <<Watching cartoons and playing with dolls>>: My roommate and I still watch lots of cartoons. And I'm about to start breaking the bank for legos again.

Ravyn: <>: Methinks you were scratching them. Itching is what THEY do. <<lots of incompetence all around on this one>>: Sad, really. Engineers are such brilliant people, and yet there's so many ways for us to !@#$ it all up. <<straight edges>>: Nerd. If it measures stuff, its a RULER. <>: Maybe you were adopted.

Heather: <<watches Screen Savers carefully>>: I was just watching that show...those two are idiots. Totally incoherent considering they're talk show hosts, and lacking any knowledge whatsoever. <<We're both related to thieves and murders>>: There are so many things I could say here...but I'll keep my mouth shut. <<he took over the Church, started to kill his wives, started divorces,>>: Except for the second part, he's my hero.

Ed: <<What's so bad about being related to Henry VIII, Heather>>: Apparently its how Patrick Swazye got Demi Moore to marry him.

Greg X: <<one of the ancestors was a blood thirsty warlord>>: That would explain a lot.

Gside: <<Though apparently I'm going to die of cancer>>: Aren't we all? <<True, I do rise above the rest, but I try not to let it change me>>: You wish. <<You don't know what you're missing>>: I think she does, and that's why she's staying out of it. <>: We'll find out in the morning.

Lain: <<aint there a number in there>>: It sure seems like there ought to be. <<have i mentioned lately that youre a PSYCHO?? no WONDER you voted for bush>>: And you're sleeping with him. <<dont have to take up space in here>>: I need to start saying that to random people on the street.

Gunjack: <<it's a TITLE, DANGIT, NOT MY FREAKIN' NAME>>: Quiet, moochie. In any case, you're the only gunjack in here. <>: Nah, I think we'll stick with moochie.

Okay time to sleep. I have a midterm tomorrow morning. On wood. Hehe...a morning wood midterm...HAHAHAHA.

Man, Lyn, yer such a munchkin! but as long as we're showin off our worlds... Lessee here, I see your lychanthropes, dragons, and mental instarot (does that work on non-oranics, BTW? And what about immaterials?), and I raise you a few...

*deep breath*

Clockwork gunslingers, brass steamers, Mechapunks, grinning razors, hordes of Ubrazzja, Cyberninja (is that the plural?), Team 42, Spindlers, Deep Knives, Paranoids, Killer Dolls, Peterson's gunsuits, Mr. White, Roland Thompson, Tom Creep, Jack, the Angels and the green Dragon, Kargoth and Silence, the Ifraem, tenders, and killers from the Pile, random FSD spooks and kooks, the Loonies, Choppers, Shadows, Hivers, Slummers, and Elloi from Neo Kali, Rakshasa/Siren, the Caper band, Ganji Fenrir and her Valkyrie armor, "Loser" Langley, Tres el Fahad, the Tajun, Satha, Morgi, and Klio, Claire, Aejin, Gehenna, Edges and Locals, Lords and Fetches... Oh yeah, and the Gunjacks too, of course.
...Did I miss anyone? Well, okay, yeah, you guys, and you, and him back there... and the various fleets can't fit through the CR doors... but you get ye olde dryft.

<<Maybe it�s the recent ego-boosts, maybe it�s Mara�s Psycho-b!7ch lessons kicking in...>> I said not a word. <<maybe it�s just the 29 hours sleep deprivation, but I don�t feel like accepting that comment as truth.>> $ch\/\/337n3$$, cause I don't wanna either. this is MUCH more fun...
<<HEY!! Gunjack posted! I didn�t notice on my first go-round! Cool!>> Yes, yes I am. I know. Hold the applause, please... <<Btw, I�ve been working on your letter; thought you�d like to know. Unless you�ve changed your mind about wanting it.>> Send, please.
<<So, what made you decide to get involved in our little game?>> You kiddin? Like I'd miss one of these cascading melees? Last time we did this, I ended up with a whole crime family of mutant mistletoe, and a freakin' Holy Tentacle for a left arm!
<<Ask your ally Gunjack; if he remembers when he was Val he can confirm this.>> <<(Damn, you know, I really miss Val sometimes.)>> Val is here. Val never left. It's just that none of you can comprehend that "Gunjack" is a TITLE! it's a TITLE, DANGIT, NOT MY FREAKIN' NAME!!! Though I must admit that it beats bein' called "Mary"...

But that's not really what you were talking about, was it? I'll not comment on the rest; it'll only get me in trouble. I'm still trying to peel off that swastika you slapped on me last time... *Curses Lynati's adhesive skills*
<<Seems awfully suspicious action for a permit-viewing request. Seems rather like *you* were trying to start something.>> *king arthur voice* ...You're a loony.
But it means we get to shoot the heck out of the CR with REALLY BIG GUNS, so... in the immortal words of Bill McNeal, "GO CRAZY MAN!"

*hands Silverbolt a helmet*

...I'm sure there was sommat else I was supposed to do, but it be late, and I has hommerks. Peace, lov- oh wait, I forgot. Cascading CR/RP melee. Right.

Hound> <<What is your name?>>: Christopher Frederick Garside, AKA Iris Garricle (true story).
<<What is your ethnicity?>>: Exacctly one quarter Ukranian, approx. 3/8 English, approx, 3/8 French, and according to family legend (AKA probably false) 3/32 Native American.
<<How old are you?>>: 22.
<<Where are you from?>>: Jersey. Central shore, more specifically.
<<What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears?>>: Depends on how far back you go. Not too much personally, but they did create the society I inhabit. Oh, and my stunning good looks. Though apparently I'm going to die of cancer.

Gunjack> <<about an hour of Excel Saga>>: Get to episode 26 yet?
<<No, in point of fact, you didn't. Ethplain?>>: The series is based on ninja created elemental weapons, using the term elemental loosely. One of the evil characters, Nagai Mokuren, had the weapon Kodama that let him control plants. He was quite violently insane and would rant about how he enjoyed spearing the womenfolk. My Recca episodes are pretty small, and I think I could fit one on my eden account.
<<there's the thing about girls eating banannas>>: But of course. There are few who do not experience that.
<<Suffice to say that my workload is a veritable Augian Stable>>: Carry on then. Hope you find a suitable river soon.
<>: You don't have to lie.
<<Seeeeeexy..>>: Yes, I am.

Imzadi> <<almost no one in this fandom rates higher than a 3>>: True, I do rise above the rest, but I try not to let it change me.
<<You know, over here on earth, we can demonstrate physics principles all the time>>: Right, but it's more fun when you're in the middle of it and it weighs a good couple tons.

Fire Storm> <<The end cap on the pipe will shoot out across the room like a frigging bullet!>>: I just found out that water heaters used to do that before they invented T&P valves. The test footage they showed was quite impressive.

Spacebabie> <>: You don't know what you're missing.

Warpmind> <<I'll provide spellslinging coverage for the two others>>: I like spell slinging, but I feel that D&D doesn't give me enough spells to play with in one day.

Eh, what the hell...

1.What is your name? (a believable alias is preferred)

Greg Bishansky

2.What is your ethnicity?

I'm a mutt. The Jewish side of my family is descended from Russian and Polish Jews, my mom's side of the family is from Brazil and descended from Portugese, Dutch, Italian, Greek... real big mutt here.

3.How old are you? (if you don't want to give me your real age then give me something close to your real age)

21. Old enough to drink, pay taxes, drink, own a hand gun, drink, drive a car, drink, run for public office, drink, lots of other stuff, oh yeah, and drink.

4.Where are you from? (country or region will do)

New York, New York, United States.

5.What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and inclinations)

Well, I know very little about my father's side from the family except that his grand father's family was driven out of Russia by Lenin and Stalin because they were Jews.

My mom's side of the family is very interesting, her father was a very famous and powerful journalist in Brazil, Claudio Lima. For a time he also ran the National Library. He interviewed Fidel Castro shortly after he seized control of Cuba... I have the photographs. Lots of important politicians were in his home, and he spent some time in prison for speaking out against the military dictatorships. My mom's two older brothers lost the family fortune before I was born.

Also, am descended from Portuguese nobility, not sure exactly who, but I know that to be true. I heard from one person in the family that one of the ancestors was a blood thirsty warlord... I so hope this is true!

Jumping in for the Hound of Ulster's little poll ...

1.What is your name? (a believable alias is preferred)

**clears throat** I'll go with believable alias, since I don't know ya from Adam. D. A. Martinez.

2.What is your ethnicity?

Basque on one half, Irish/Scottish on the other.

3.How old are you? (if you don't want to give me your real age then give me something close to your real age)

I will be 27 in ... **checks watch** 2 days. :)

4.Where are you from? (country or region will do)

All over. Hard to pin down because I was the child of a military family, but I guess I can go with my current location, Michigan. :)

5.What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and
inclinations)

Hmmm ... inclinations would include a stubborn streak. Names is kinda hard, because I've got a lot of ancestors to choose from ... a few of the names in my ancestry include Clan MacGregor (aka Rob Roy's clan) and Nelson (as in Lord Admiral Horatio of His Majesty's Royal Navy. ;). Possessions is pretty much only one thing, a Selmer (Paris) tenor saxophone from my paternal grandfather, which I inherited four years after his death.

< Wepwawet brings in the whole werewolf race including werejackals and wherefalcons and a few dragons.>
Excuse me, the �whole� werewolf race? *checks her crowd* Nope, none of my therianthropes, lupine-based or otherwise, seem to have deserted. And I really don�t think you want your jackals in the same room as my lions and my hyenas; the groups have bad blood between them. As in, there�s a very good reason why there are no more were-jackals in the gargoyles part of the Lynativerse by the late 1800�s. Also, I think my Gryphons beat your falcons. And only a few dragons? Yeesh. I�ve got five Wings at least. What type are yours? Drakes, Wyrms, Shivvons, Pernese? Specifics, please, I need to look at who and what would be best prepared to deflect them.

Just how long have you been working on your head-world, the world of your fic? Because I�ve-
HEY!! Gunjack posted! I didn�t notice on my first go-round! Cool! Btw, I�ve been working on your letter; thought you�d like to know. Unless you�ve changed your mind about wanting it. So, what made you decide to get involved in our little game?

Anyway. *turns to the fourth character who�s just entered the room* Wait, when *did* I start the original Saga cast?
Eclipse: well, technically, in fourth grade, but things didn�t really start to happen character-wise until X-men aired...so...1992?
That sounds right. And chronologically, how long do the Sagas run?
Eclipse: AGZ 0 to AGZ 69...and then you move permanently over to the gargoyles universe and use them as the main focus starting in 2000, and you�ve so far forced yourself not to plan past 2064, which is a total of 133 years...and now the fifth generation descended from your original cast.
Shane: and as I�m here when Avernus is here, and I died in 2015 and he didn�t show up until 2030, I�m guessing you�re pulling from the rank and file of any place in time.
Yup.
Silverbolt, I�ve been a socially avoidant person for a good part of my life, and my main form of entertainment for the last ten years has been working on my fic universes. The few friends I have know that the main thing I talk with them about is fic (possibly why I don�t have too many friends, I�m blank for conversation much outside of the subject) in an attempt to work on my character development. Ask your ally Gunjack; if he remembers when he was Val he can confirm this. (Damn, you know, I really miss Val sometimes.) I read voraciously, from many genres, and absorb and integrate as much as I can. And I�m really, really over-sensitive, and have a complex about being seen as a doormat to people whose status is not above mine. Fic is my favorite past-time, and I�m damn proud of the world in my head that I�ve developed. It�s all I had to keep me sane at times.

<and also I didn�t start off this war it was Aaron> Aaron didn�t start a war, he simply pointed out that you were referring to the wrong chibis as the �evil chibi squad�, and then asked to see your rampage permit. He mentioned nothing about a war or fighting, and yet your reply was �*gets his army of characters to step closer* but if it's a war you want so be it.� Seems awfully suspicious action for a permit-viewing request. Seems rather like *you* were trying to start something.
<and i stole that permit from his pocket!> I sincerely doubt that.

Btw, there is no point going cross-eyed on a Saturday night waiting for Timedancer eps when they are being released on Sundays at midnight.

...and what�s wrong with �Lilo and Stitch� ?? ~.~

Story: February 8th of 99, right? Or had you posted again after that?

Green Baron: <BTW, after watching 26 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, I am glad none of us have the 10 year subscriptions those kids have :) > Ahh, but have you seen the end of Eva movie yet?

Ick ... I think I'm some sort of mosquito magnet, because everywhere I go, I get absolutely eaten alive by mosquitoes. :) This morning while I was waiting for the university shuttle to pick me up, I got bitten 3 times in about 5 minutes ... and of course I didn't notice until *after* I had already started itching them ... ah, well ... ;) At least the mosquitoes here aren't like the ones in Florida ... those things are *HUGE*, plus whenever they'd bite me, the darn bites would swell up all huge whether I itched them or not ...

Ah, well, that's enough of my personal ranting. ;) Onward to replies before I have to head out for a meeting!

Hi, Tuxedo Bob Dole! **waves**

Hyatt Regency Hotel Engineering thing> We were just talking about this in my mechanics of materials class a few weeks ago ... lots of incompetence all around on this one. :(

Warpmind> Have fun with the new apartment!!! :)

Hound of Ulster> Oooh, survey! I miss the crazy surveys we used to have back in the olden days of the CR. ;) Anyhoo, here goes ...

1.What is your name? (a believable alias is preferred)

Stacey Ann Cole. (my real name, for now) ;)

2.What is your ethnicity?

American. :) I'm a good mix of a lot of things. Scottish, English, Dutch, German, French, and Native American (I think Cherokee, though that has yet to be officially determined), somewhere in that order.

3.How old are you? (if you don't want to give me your real age then give me something close to your real age)

20. Although I have issues because I keep forgetting and telling people I'm 19, when my birthday was 4 months ago now ... ;)

4.Where are you from? (country or region will do)

Sierra Vista, Arizona. Born and lived in Arizona all of my life. :)

5.What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and inclinations)

Let's see ... the only possession I've really inherited was my grandfather's engineering set from school (it's really neat! I saw one like it in a museum at West Point, NY ... it's got a little protractor, and straight edges and other stuff, and is still in its original case). When my grandfather died, my uncle was left with the engineering set, and was told to pass it on to any engineers that might pop up in the family later. I wonder what my grandfather would think if he knew that *I* was the one that ended up with it. :)

No rights inherited at all, unless you count my rights as an American citizen, which I love so very much. :) I mean really, how many other countries could a silly girl like me go to college on scholarship to be an engineer while drag racing semi-professionally? :) In many countries, I think I'd be stoned to death by now, which is a very awful thought.

As responsibilities go, I've kind of inherited this love and appreciation for my family history and heritage, coming mostly from the Native American and Scottish influence.

Names ... well ... the only one that's really been passed down is my Scottish clan name, MacPhail ... it's been passed on in more recent generations as a middle name.

As far as tendencies and inclinations go ... from my immediate family, I am nothing like any of them at all. Seriously. :) I seem to be tending a little toward my grandfather, who was an engineer for a while, but other than that ... I don't know where the heck I came from. ;)

Hope this helps with the project! :)

Later, all, gotta run! :)

I was wondering, who was it that had the customized Gargoyles dolls on display in the Art room of last Gathering? I can't remember. I'm thinking of getting a Jasmine and Ariel doll, and customizing them into Elisa and Fox, and maybe doing Bell as Dominique Destine. I'd have to wipe the face paint off completely, and either dye or reroot Belle, but I think it could come out cool. *^_^*

Wow, sometimes I feel I'll never grow up =) Watching cartoons and playing with dolls. Guess it's to make up for never playing with dolls when I *was* a kid. I used to play with action figures *^_~* Now I collect the action figures (which are soooo much cooler these days!) and decorating my walls with them.

Still need to put my Elisa and Demona figures up. It's such a shame there is no Fox or Robyn doll though =( Or a Dominique Destine doll... wouldn't that be too kewl? And a Nightstone building to keep them in =) I can't remember if they did anything like that with the Castle/Eeyrei Building

Mmm... feels good to be alive *^_^* The weather continues to be great, even if it was warmer today (mid 80s)-- the evening and night promise delightful coolness, and I can get my park walks/run in. My friends call me "mugger bait", because I do this at the late hours. But this is Kansas, the chances of a mugger being awake and at my semi rural park at 2am is very slim. Guess I should go get some pepper spray though.

back to work. Did all the upstairs cat boxes yesterday, and finished the downstairs ones today! whee!!! No catboxes to deal with till the weekend! Yay!!! Just the lawn... sigh. I best get that done before the sun goes down. The days are definately getting shorter. Must be why I'm awake a lot more. =)

Silverbolt> Death: "There will be no need for any of that." (Picks up the permit) "As I thought, this is the expired form, ADGFDA4H8465/4. You need form ADGFDA4H8465/5.1, unless you intend to add opposing forces to the rampage, in which case you also need to file supplementary form HV5G534HGHG/9.3. As such, I'm afraid there can be no rampaging without an updated form. And in future, don't threaten to stomp the Admin's chibis, especially when they never offered you violence. He gets upset about things like that."

Tell me when they come out with one for the Executor-class Super Star Destroyer from Episode VI. <> Do you require TP for your bunghole? <<You forgot to tell her about dodge-cab!>> If you can't figure that one out for yourself, you're gonna die anyway. Might as well get it out of the way.

Gside> <<Hm, a foreigner.>> At least I can always count on you to get it.

GB> <<Turtledove stuff>> I'm in the opposite direction. I still need to read the Great War series, but I recommend the World War Books highly. The sequel to the first four is coming soon. (Or may already be out. I'm not sure)

Truly it is a good day. Tommorrow I leave for Wuerzberg, to prepare for my deployment to Kosovo. I have almost everything packed and I look forward to a bloated paycheck free of taxes and most expenses.

In further news, my next elave dates should encompass late June, in which I will come to NYC, bowtie and all, as well as Ontario and possibly Newfoundland to visit another friend.

Now on to my postings.

Aaaron> <<Well, the future of a world where AK-47s and computers are lying around in the 1870s is probably a nuclear holocaust somewhere in the 1920s. So... Not much sequel potential. Have you read his World War series?>> I disagree. The only technological import was an AK-47 which can be dissected and a simialr device can be made, but the 90 year gap, between the Civil War and the weapon's invention will leave plenty of puzzle pieces. The computers may be in the 1870s, but one must wonder if the Dutch racists woudl share that much information. I suspect more kileld themselves and others refused. I doubt atom-splitting technology was implemented earlier and I don't see that scenario myself. I do see little to be in a sequel as the North and South being on better terms, and while it may be neat to have Frederick Douglass at a fundraiser for the Lee Foundation's Emancipation Fund, it doesn't make for interesting action in a novel. The Great War series and How Few Remain are a bleaker outcome but more interesting reading. I have yet to read the World War series as I have only read Guns, How Few Remain, and I am working on the Great War: American Front. I hav eordered Breakthroughs and Walk in Hell, which should arrive during my training in Wuerzberg, and be ready for me as I make final preparations back in Hanau for deployment to Kosovo. I also have Blood and Iron, but I will finsih GreatWar Trilogy before I read it. I do like how things can change, because of one event.

BTW, after watching 26 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, I am glad none of us have the 10 year subscriptions those kids have :)

Ravyn> Tuxedo Bob Dole says hi and gives a pen clasping thumbs up :)

Imzadi> <<Or an insult to yourself. >> Perhaps if I dwelled on the negative instead of learning from your insight.

<> Well, I did :) Now, I've moved up to O'Reilly factor :)

<<You will have to fight every other male in the fandom for the privilege.>> True, true.

Spacebabie> <<An hour away by car, 30 minutes if I take the Expressway. I have to keep switching busses>> It is long, but my city's buses don't have that spread out a schedule. Though with me, the streetcar was cheaper than teh parking at Loyola. To use the streetcar for a full year was 480, until 1999, but the parking was 500. After the rate change, it was 660 a year, but overall a good rate considering the money I save in parking, gas, and insurance.

<<Talcum powder, keeps me from developing a heat rash.>> Makes sense.

Heather> I'm glad you liked the Florentine fan :)

Taleweaver> The natural disaster I've had to worry about was hurricanes, but New Orleans has always been spared :)

Firestrom> Hmmm..conquering Iraq, maybe. I would actually give the North to Turkey and the Shi'ite part to Iran as a token of goodwill. Iraq was a fictitous entity cretaed by Britain and is a thoroughly modern state. I'd like to redraw the Middle East to older maps. I also hope we replace oil soon so that region can lose its improtance and quite plaguing us.

Imzadi> I went to a nice Balkan restaurant on Sunday with a drink called Schlibowitz. It had a sweet taste and I couldn't detect much alchohol. Also, the Blakan platter was loaded to the brim with meat :)

<<DIE. No one wants to chat with you. Ever. You smell.>> You crack me up sometimes :)

Foxfire> <<Oh, and did I mention that my best friend's older brother got kicked out when they caught him and his fiancee sitting with their legs touching?>> That is amusing. At Loyola, they had people shacking up between classes, which I think a bit odd to report in a student publication, but Loyola was quite liberal. Afterall, I found one girl who was not covered in peircings and/or some Woodstok wannabe and she's the Pentecostal who dumps me for my beliefs. Of course, that is more irony that a girl at a Catholic Univeristy in New Orleans held such a predjudice. Granted the Liberal Arts Dept was full of liberal idoelogies and a bunch of leftover hippies, but teh school of business was full of capitalist anarchist Economics professors and other neat personalities, like my best friend, Dr. Barnes who Heather met, a Marketing, professor with a love of history and odd movies, or Dr. Wood, a Finance Professor (also an Economist) with a love of Mahler, Babylon 5, and Star Trek. I find it refreshing to have professors with such a diveristy of interests.

<<The prevailing opinion is that religious art is OK as long as no naughty bits are showing.>> Well, I doubt they'd approve of stuff pertaining to the Virgin Mary who is always properly covered. Then again, I coudl be worng on that.

<<Yup, all denominations except for conservative Baptist are badbadBAD. :-) A friend of mine applied for admission and was turned down because her *father* worked for Billy Graham.>> being denied admission is a good thing. I remember the original Bob Jones was some sort fo Baptist. They do not like Southern Baptists if I rememebr something on his website (as well as a hated of neo-Orthodox Protestants, which are my favorite kind of Protestant). Then again, I am trying to imagine a College full of primitive Baptists. All women in tattered dresses and barefoot....but them making it to College...can't see that. They also rescinded their ban on interracial dating, but why would anyone who is black, Hispanic, Oriental, Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, or outside the Aryan subculture want to attend?

<<You should've seen my aforementioned best friend's reaction when she found out that I'd actually, voluntarily gone to see Michelangelo's David when I was in Italy. :-) >> Florence is quite beautiful. Sancte Croce is nice, plus so many imprtant dignitaries buried there, like Machiavelli and Galileo.

<<Sorry hon, the only person I know in NC is my father, who's firmly convinced that I'm demon-possessed and is therefore unlikely to follow my political advice. :-)>> A pity. My father always asked me for politcial advice as I was the family's political expert, though my father tended to support Republicans and reaosnably conservative Democrats, as it was. Then again, I'm a third generation Republican so my grandfather must have gotten a lot more frustrated in the 40s and 50s as no Republicans got elected in the deep South.

1.What is your name? (a believable alias is preferred)
Thomas Muldrup Logan Forsyth, Specialist, United States Army

2.What is your ethnicity?
Scottish, French, Danish, and Norman on my father'ss ide. Irish and German on my mother's.

3.How old are you? (if you don't want to give me your real age then give me something close to your real age)

25

4.Where are you from? (country or region will do)
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Currently in Wolfgang suburb of Hanau, Germany, in the Pioneer Kasserne of teh 414th BSB in US Army Europe

5.What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and inclinations)

I inherited my intellect, cute appearance, temprament, and fondness for commerce from them. I have also learned a love fo family heritage as any Scotsman should have, along with my Roman Catholic upbringing from my French grandmother and my Irish/German mother. What I have done with learning my faith and how I practcie it has been my own decision, but heavily influenced by the values of my mother's saintly parents. I inherited a thrid generation Marian devotion from my mother and I am a third generation Republcian due to the values of my father. I also am part of declining old-South aristocracy from my father's legacy and teh decline has instilled a certain ambition in me and a desire to escape the decline. My motehr instilled a love of cats and in teh dyas before she succumbed to self-pity a love of reading.

I inherited much from various teachers, but I make this post too long.

*Warpmind strides in, doing an admirable impression of the Criminologist from RHPS*
It's been a while, my friends... Far too long; but, nine days overdue, the phone guy came and hooked me up. I am ONLINE FROM MY APARTMENT! *Whoops*

Now, seeing as it has been several weeks since my last visit... I'll just politely hope that those of you who have made any commetns to me since my previous departure will repeat them for my benefit. Or not, whichever turns out to be the case. Me, I've got work to do now... Might want to get Netscape to replace IE, if I can't figure out this cookie trouble... and I gotta check the ISDN card manufacturer for XP drivers... *Sigh* A nerd's work is never done...

Oh, and here's one for Christine: What would Dakota Jones say if she had to face Arthur's tomb on Avalon? "It is a leap of faith!" :)

On another note, I'm partaking in the founding of a new D&D group tomorrow, as a player. I so hope I get to be a Necromancer... }:) If so happens, I shall have hours of fun. And I'll provide spellslinging coverage for the two others... }:)

Oh, well, back to work.
Later on, everyone.

Taleweaver - <<How are you doing with the wildfire?>> I'm doing okay with the fire. Thankfully, it's in the foothill area of Claremont, making it's way towards Upland. My kids, on the other hand, aren't doing so good. My older two (ages 10 and 8) have asthma, so they've been pretty much limited to doing nothing. I'm glad that we live in the city, and not the mountains. I'd hate to be evacuated from my home, not knowing if it'll still there when the fire is put out. <<Earthquakes never bothered me.>> Wish I could say the same. I hate 'em with a passion. <<Quick question, did anyone on the west coast see the missle test last week? Left a brightly colored contrail on the way up.>> Didn't see it in person, but I saw it on the news. Looked pretty cool. Did you see some of the people interviewed on the news about it? Some of the people thought we were under attack, which I guess is understandable, but one woman looked straight in the camera and said that the missile was actually aliens. "No doubt in my mind. That's what it was," were her exact words. Where do they find these people??

Josh - <<Same here. I get a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach when the ground rumbles. Kinda sucks.>> I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Glad to know I'm not alone. <<We had to leave our house temporarily because there were no utilities for three days.>> That must've sucked. <<And nifty civil engineers fixed it in record time, earning a hefty bonus.>> I was surprised that they fixed it so quickly, considering the track record for getting freeways repaired or built in this state (the 105 freeway comes to mind).

Christine - Just wanted to let you know I'm lovin' the stories on your site. I like the angle you went with.

Well, I must go back to sleep. I'm not feeling too good. I don't know if it's from the wildfire or if I'm coming down with a cold. :( Anyways, have a good day.

Clyde? What the heck am I doing in a city called "Clyde?"

Hey, for those of you who know me! For those who don't don't worry about it, I probably won't be able to drop by very often.

Mostly I'm looking for something. Right after Akon 12 (I think) David Goodner posted a link to a picture of me. I can't remember what that actual date was, and really REALLY don't have the time to dig through the archives randomly looking. If anyone remembers, or, better yet, just has that picture, I could really use it.

Thanks Guys,

1.What is your name? (a believable alias is preferred)

Marty Lund

2.What is your ethnicity?

I'm about 92% caucasian, though less than 50% Anglo.

3.How old are you? (if you don't want to give me your real age then give me something close to your real age)

I'm 22

4.Where are you from? (country or region will do)

I'm from Boston, Massachusetts.

5.What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and inclinations)

Well, let's see:

I inherited a pre-disposition for alcoholism, near-sightedness, and heart disease on the genetics end.

In terms of inheritance, I've had the benefit of living in a house in a suburb of Boston most of my life thanks to generations of hard work by my father, my father's family and the contributions of my mother's own hard work. The thing will actually be all paid for as of next year, I think.

I had the benefit of a better education thanks to my paretns than I would have gotten on just my scholarships alone.

I have an rather large extended family for emotional and financial support that I can't claim to have earned. :)

I have an inclination of ambition, seeking to achieve more, learn more, and earn more. I have a tendancy to attach a lot of my self-worth to the work I do, whether it be professional, charity, or otherwise. I attribute the dominance of both of these traits to the examples set to me by my parents, aunts and uncles, and my paternal grandparents.

Beyond my family, I of course attribute all of my freedoms to great Americans that came before me, and my understanding of moral and ethical behavior to too many philosophers and spiritualists to name herein.

I hope that is of help to your survey. :)

Recent altercations:

See, I don't have to worry about letting Evil win by my doing nothing. I don't qualify as "good people." :)

Honestly, my stance on things like this has come up before, and it didn't seem to get through to anybody or do anything particularly useful even when I was moderator. My idea of policy in this place has always been what I call the 7 Commandments of the Bartender:

1 - No one but the owner and duly authorized government officials have any claim of possession, ownership, or authority over the bar; and the bartender is the owner's agent.

2 - Whatever happens between patrons outside the bar _stays_ outside the bar.

3 - The bartender never make judgments in his role as bartender on anything that didn't happen in the bar.

4 - The bartender reserves the right to refuse service to those who don't bathe, harass other patrons, or don't pay their bar tab promptly.

5 - The bartender reserves the right to end any argument that gets too personal or disruptive to business.

6 - All fights get taken outside the bar and never come in from the outside.

7 - When people do fight in the bar, bounce them.

Spoilers for BUFFY******************************************

Sunnydale High is back. The Principal's office is located right over the hellmouth.
Principal Wood~He seems fare, not a jerk like Synder. Too early to say if he is evil.

Buffy, Dawn and two other students are attacked by manifestations of people who died on the old campus. The manifestations were caused by a talisman. The girl who was killed by a werewolf...I wonder if Oz did that. I would have liked to see some old familiar faces. Like Catherine who was trapped in her trophey and got blown up and Larry.
Willow~Full of regret and seems to be in tune with The Force
Giles~taking care of Willow in England.
Xander~not enough of him.
Anya~Trying to get back into Vengence. Well when a waitress asked for her boyfriend to be turned into a frog. Anya turned him into a Frenchman.
Spike~Poor baby! He looks like he some color back into his cheeks and his hair is closer to William the Bloody poet. Don't know if just got his soul back or has been returned to a human.
Buffy~How could anyone mistake her for Dawn's mom? Glad she got a new job.
Dawn~I wonder if those students that she was trapped in the basement with will be her Xander and Willow.

I LOVE seeing the past villians. Even if they were probably just a hallucenation of Spikes. First Warren, then Glory, Adam, The Mayor, Drusilla, The Master, and the last manisfestation Buffy herself.

Shadow steps in again.

Yuck, what week, stress, stress, updates, updates, more birthdays * conniption.* Krrrkkkk�0.o

Well, I have been picked to be part of the group that organizes my families bi-annual gathering for the �04. * Rubs his goatee. * I don�t know if I should be honored or to be scared? But, I'm putting my money on scared right now since we can be pretty insulting, vicious and stubborn at times (Ah, ye olde family trait). Whatever I hope I do well with this whole thing and hope I can come out of this unscathed, yeah I know the next one is still ways off but it�s best to prepare.

Speaking of family my sister is back in college and actually has a job this semester, part time (it looks like. All those years of yelling at her to get a job finally paid off.). She seems quite pleased with it.

She also is starting to search for a new laptop, her Dell laptop is starting to fail on her This gives my opportunity to direct her to apple.com and start to corrupt her as well. Heh, it worked on my mom she recently bought a ibook.

*chuckles evilly* Probably, I can use the �o4 gathering to push the wonders of the Mac on the rest of them. Hmm. Corruption is a good thing. ;)

Howdy folks. Another day of work. Got to do a mini lecture in wood design where I gave out homework tips. Quite a power rush when your peers ask you for work advice. Makes me feel all smart or something. Also got to be one of the only ones in my structural analysis class to solve a particular problem. That was cool too.

My roommate spent most of the day putting together an xServe from parts that he liberated from Apple's recycle bin. I mocked his efforts.

Patrick: <<Hyatt Regency Hotel, Kansas City, MO, in 1981>>: I can never remember where or when. I just remember that it was bad. <<right up there with the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the list of structural engineering failures>>: Those are certainly the first two that come to mind. <<it's become a case study for engineering ethics>>: I don't think so. I've taken an engineering ethics class and it never came up. From what I've read and learned, it wasn't an ethical issue. It was a communications failure combined with incompetency.

Foxfire: <<wondering why the heck I was just *sitting* there if I wasn't going to feed them>>: Amazing how much bread they eat. Too bad it'll kill them. <<happy capitalist daze>>: Aren't they all? <<him and his fiancee sitting with their legs touching>>: Those evil sinning bastards! Premarital relations are a no-no! <<religious art is OK as long as no naughty bits are showing>>: Well then it isn't worth looking at. <<who's firmly convinced that I'm demon-possessed and is therefore unlikely to follow my political advice>>: I've heard the same said about me.

Renee: <<I've lived in California all my life and I _still_ aren't used to them>>: Same here. I get a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach when the ground rumbles. Kinda sucks. <<Northridge, CA, in January 1994>>: We had to leave our house temporarily because there were no utilities for three days. <<part of the Santa Monica freeway had collapsed>>: And nifty civil engineers fixed it in record time, earning a hefty bonus.

Taleweaver: <<it isn't the severity, but the duration that causes the most structural damage>>: Actually the severity can damage it too if its in the right direction. <<get a little rain on roads and its the end of the world>>: Can you imagine what would happen if it snowed in LA? <<a little tremor is a sign from the divine man was not meant to live out west>>: Funny, I thought it was a sign that we live in an active fault zone. <<did anyone on the west coast see the missle test last week? Left a brightly colored contrail on the way up>>: Sorry I missed that. When I was a camp counselor a couple years ago there was a missile test that failed with very colorful explosive results in the night sky. Looked like something out of star trek.

Jaden: <<Not that is a real reason not to get up in the morning>>: True.

Heather: <<Hot or Not>>: That site is just asking to have your ego destroyed. Besides, almost no one in this fandom rates higher than a 3.

Not a good combination. <<he gets do demonstrate physics principles>>: You know, over here on earth, we can demonstrate physics principles all the time.

Hound of Ulster: <<What is your name?>>: Josh Wurzel. You can quote me on that. <<What is your ethnicity>>: I'm a cracker-ass cracker. <<How old are you?>>: I AM OF LEGAL DRINKING AGE EVERYONE OFF THE SIDEWALKS! <<Where are you from>>: Sunny Los Angeles. <<What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears>>: Apparently not any money. Most of the stuff I've "inherited" are personality traits: neuroses, paranoia, ruthlessness, anal retentiveness, study habits, and of course, sheer brilliance. Not sure where the ego came from, though.

And since I figure you're tiring of my quotes...I thought I'd switch to the rules of evil warlords.

Yeah hello anyways could some members of the TGS forum answer a few questions for me? I need the results for a class.

Questions

1.What is your name? (a believable alias is preferred)

2.What is your ethnicity?

3.How old are you? (if you don't want to give me your real age then give me something close to your real age)

4.Where are you from? (country or region will do)

5.What is it that you think that you have inherited from your ancestors or forebears? (includes possessions, rights, privileges, names, responsibilities, tendencies and inclinations)

ack... Sanrio finally has found a way to get it's hooks into me >^@@^< For years I dodged Hello Kitty, failing my savings roll only once, for the cute weirdness factor (3 guess for what) but now I'm caught... I saw a great Chococat day planner, and I wanted it. My friend told me to go to Zany Brainy to find them. Zany Brainy didn't have Chococat day planners anymore though *~_~* ... sad sigh... But the did have... NYAGO!!! Oh... I love Nyago... I spent 35 bucks on little Nyago bandaids, notebooks, a wallet and a card holder, plus a few chococat things too... oh dear. Now the inside of my purse looks like it should belong to a 13 year old instead of someone in her thirties. Couldn't help it. It hit my CUTE!!! soft spot.

It's a lot like Tare Panda (floppy panda) which is put out by another company, only this is Sanrio and it's a striped kitty that sleeps all the time =) I loooovvvveee Nyago!!! Character design to color scheme, Nyago is so me.

Well if you do or not, they showed this pretty neat site called "Hot or Not". There you put in a picture of yourself and let other people rate it and if they want to meet you, they "can" in a internet chat sense.
Well one of the hosts put his picture on the site and I got curious so I decided to put mine but I backed out. The original "If my parents knew..."

Renee - How are you doing with the wildfire? I go to school at Cal Poly and I could see the smoke plumes from here.

Earthquakes never bothered me. As the Civ E's can tell yuo it isn't the severity, but the duration that causes the most structural damage. The last big one we had was out in the desert, in the 6.5-7.0 range, but it didn't last long. By the time I woke up my wife, the quake was over.

For me natural disasters are relative. While most people I know don't blink at an earthquake, get a little rain on roads and its the end of the world. When I was on the east coast, people drove in slippery slush like it was nothing. I thought it was the most dangerous game of bumper cars. But a little tremor is a sign from the divine man was not meant to live out west.

Quick question, did anyone on the west coast see the missle test last week? Left a brightly colored contrail on the way up.

The earthquake that struck Northridge, CA, in January 1994 was the scariest for me. I think it registered 6.7 and when I heard that part of the Santa Monica freeway had collapsed, that really hit me, because we drive the portion of the freeway all the time. (Shudders.)

Hi y'all! Just got back from an arts & crafts show in Charlotte, and did *lots* better than expected...that's the good news, the bad news is that I'm hoarse from talking to people for three and a half days straight. Typing's much nicer right now. :-) The show was lots of fun, though - great art, nice music (OK, except for the girl who was trying to sound like Mariah Carey and Celine Dion at the same time) and thankfully, nice weather. And next to a lake, which meant I had ducks mobbing my booth, wondering why the heck I was just *sitting* there if I wasn't going to feed them. Hard show, but nice sales - I'm sort of drifting around in a happy capitalist daze. :-)

Green Baron: <<One of my fraternity brotehrs back at Loyola was from Charleston and he called Bob Jones U. the Salvation Army from Hell.>> <snicker> That's the best description I've heard in a while. Oh, and did I mention that my best friend's older brother got kicked out when they caught him and his fiancee sitting with their legs touching? <<though I dated a girl who was taught with their materials and she dumped me for being Catholic.>> Yup, all denominations except for conservative Baptist are badbadBAD. :-) A friend of mine applied for admission and was turned down because her *father* worked for Billy Graham. <> The prevailing opinion is that religious art is OK as long as no naughty bits are showing. No Renaissance art HERE, thanks! (You should've seen my aforementioned best friend's reaction when she found out that I'd actually, voluntarily gone to see Michelangelo's David when I was in Italy. :-)

Tuxedo Bob Dole: <<You're from South Carolina but tell everyone you know in North Carolina to vote for Liddy :) >> Sorry hon, the only person I know in NC is my father, who's firmly convinced that I'm demon-possessed and is therefore unlikely to follow my political advice. :-)

In time to hand it in. <<Why would anyone want to put Vaseline on their balls?>>: Good question.

Gside: <<it occaisonaly bugs my ears when it curls back>>: It bugs my neck. <<You get used to it>>: I'd rather not. I like having girls be attracted to me every once in a blue moon. <<it's an old trick for adding more curve>>: Wouldn't that be easily discovered?

Hi guys *^_^*

Thanks, my mom went through her surgery without a hitch, and as it was a minor procedure (sealing a hernia) she is at home resting comfortably.

Myself, I toddled off home and finally got some sleep! Wow, I feel GREAT!!! I love sleep! *^_^*

Last night the moon was full, and I was just jazzing on how gorgeous the night was. Couldn't fall asleep until almost 3am, and then had to wake up at five to get ready and pick up my mother. Yikes!

Possum (a different one I think, because this one was cute) came by last night. No food for him this time. I felt bad, but I don't want to encourage wild animals to come to my door. It would present a health risk to my cats, and I am very careful with them. sigh... only tremor on my veil of serenity.

I just can't get over how gorgeous the weather is now. Yesterday was so good, Last Night was super fantastic, and Today was just excellent. The air Feels Good.

Mooncat <<taking my mom into surgery this morning.>> I hope everything goes well for your mom. My dad should be out of surgery by now. He had surgery because his doctor discovered he has cancer of the prostate, so rather than go through radiation treatments at his age (he's 65), he opted for surgery. Thankfully, when they discovered the cancer, it was in the very early stages so they should have been able to get it all out.

Josh, Revel, and anyone else who had a birthday after I started posting--Happy belated birthday to you all. These past couple of weeks have been a real booger. Hope you all can forgive me for my momentary lapse.

Must log off of the computer now. My mom is supposed to be calling me to let me know how my dad is doing, and since we have a dial-up (NASTY, NASTY, NASTY!!), instead of our DSL, time is precious.

Good development of Samson. I think his reaction to the dead cop was pretty accurate. Even thought he has been trained to expect something on that level he still would be shocked to see it. The pamplets and that book. I have a sneaky suspicion on who might have wrote it but I'm not going to say it

Ghost of Attila <<>>My girls will try to rescue you.<<<I'll apply some talcum powder, but I can't because I'm in cat hell :( >>>I knew you would, and like I said my kitties are developing a plan to get your spirit out of there. So far they found a way to get you into Kitty Purgatory which is a Wal Mart in Nebraska.

*SPOILERS*
This one is okay. I liked of how Samson is the main focus but it was too down. Everyone seem to be depressed.
The one thing I don't get it is why is Gwen obessed about not returning to Manhattan? Is it because of Angela? We know Gwen is a wild card but she is never happy with anyone except for Broadway, sometimes Artus, and Samson.

Is it me or was Samson a bit too surprised about seeing a dead body? Especially a cop. I mean, he should have known from "deciding" to be a patroller that those things happen.

Well... what a way to wake up this morning!

Alot of England was hit by an earthquake which read 4.8 on the rictor scale last night. This is the first earthquake we've had over here in years! (why couldn't it have happened whilst i was awake?)

More work today. I was supposed to start my steel design project, but my partner was working on another project and didn't finish until late. So I did other work...I think I cracked my steel homework.

**** NEW EPISODE SPOILERS****

I liked this one a lot. Seeing the development of Samson was really interesting, and the entire episode really focused on him and his relation with his family...not Brooklyn.

I look forward to the developing plot, and now that it starts "tomorrow night", we should get to see it in the new episode next week.

The only part I'm mildly irked about is that the writers seemed to railroad past the developing Demona-Benedick relationship. Its hard to write Demona having a successful relationship with any realism, and I can appreciate that. But it still needed to be written. No one who is familiar with the gargoyles universe could just accept "oh, its a year later, and BTW, Demona's got a boyfriend who isn't evil"

Other than that, no complaints. Good writing, good dialogue. Great art, as always.

****END SPOILER***

Fire Storm: <<But is it REALLY a bad idea?>>: Absolutely not. Anyway, Carlin's idea was that there be a little tiny gate that opened once a month for a few seconds. The battle royale would be on PPV.

Leo: <<Bet that hurt>>: Nah, just itchy. <<How long did it take?>>: Um, six days. <>: It wasn't. Just scary. <>: Definitely. And fewer people think they're fake.

Andrea: <<any of you give me a little overview at one goes on>>: Drunken debauchery, wild monkey sex. Not necessarily in that order.

Revel: Happy bday.

DPH: <<Did you get the card I sent you from Dilbert.com?>>: Nope. <<always personally watch every glass poured to himself to ensure safety>>: Good plan. My friends slipped moonshine into someone's drink once. <<PPV Border Patrol with Mexico. Let's see if the illegals can cross the border and surive>>: Against land mines!

Gside: <<6 days? That's nothing. My chin must be approaching a year>>: Yes, but my face gets annoyed with me if I don't shave. And people start to react unpleasantly to my appearance. <<"I'm not gay, I just have sex with men.">>: I thought it was "I'm not gay, my husband is." <<she could help with mine>>: A fair trade. <<So you are a screamer>>: Nope.

Until tomorrow, my friends.

There�s no excuse for this kind of erratic retardism.

Right. Wanted to mark my place (and check for anything else last week), so now to announce the mp3. I like alcohol in my music, if not my body. Ergo, you may find Great Big Sea's Home For a Rest.

Na zdorov'ya.

Imzadi> <>: 6 days? That's nothing. My chin must be approaching a year.
<<Well then Jimmy Norton isn't very bright>>: Right. It's "I'm not gay, I just have sex with men."
<<Yeah, but why would she want to?>>: The lack of breast heat rash seems like a good motivator. Then I could help her with that problem, and she could help with mine.
<<Not yesterday, no>>: So you are a screamer?
<<The second may be impossible>>: Only half. Someone had to exist.

Happy birthday Revel.

Silverbolt> <<the third monkey island>>: Ah. The one I got. Which came with the first two.

Leo> <<There's a third?>>: There's four. The third uses cell shaded 2D graphics. The fourth went for a 3D engine.
<>: gamefaqs.com. Never leave home without it.

Andrea> <<go to my site before I taunt you>>: Now, this is your last chance. I've been more than reasonable.

bit more later.
