Look at pictures of beautiful curvy girls. Stop watching television, especially reality television. Tell yourself that your body be it fat, thin, short, tall, scarred, with missing bits or with bits added on is beautiful. Own it! This is so relevant. Generally feel like the queen of my own hippie harum. I really like the way you phrased it. Figuring yourself out, but more than that, freeing yourself to be yourself is necessary, in my opinion, before anyone can really be satisfied.
As part of my coming out process, around the stage when I started feeling honestly comfortable with who I am and who I am attracted to, I started remembering my dreams. There are also a LOT of resources out there for both you, and those close to you. There are lots of internet forums and real-life support groups that specifically cater to people with bipolar, as well as resources for those close to someone who has bipolar or other brands of mental health fun.
The thing to remember is: these people love you and care about you. All of this. And I guess making sure they have tools to get support for themselves… when I had a breakdown last year and was then diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and PTSD it was almost as hard for my mom as it was for me for a variety of reasons having to put up with my bad moods, thinking she messed up raising me, having to support me and help me get my psychiatric treatment Anyways enough about me — if you have a therapist, I recommend a family session so they can ask questions about your diagnosis and treatment etc.
Yes to both of these. My sister has Bipolar II, and none of us thought she was crazy. It explained her struggles, and we worked with her to help her get to where she wanted to be. Now, my family and yours may be entirely different, but a supportive family will likely stay supportive. Friends, too. If they flip out about something like that, are they really people you want around?
She might be straight. I sudden grand overture of feelings may not be reciprocated. She might be gay and not know. I am sure that you value this friendship. I have been in your shoes. However, when one person develops a crush, the friendship changes. Pinning for your friend is torturous. Once you realize you have a crush, you must act, because you have come to a decision point.
Like it not. So I say, start flirting. Does she flirt back. Let her know that you are into ladies. But basically flirt with her. If she does flirt back, you can try the grand gesture. That is step one. Step two. We tend to have friend groups with the same attractiveness level, also similar financial backgrounds and other similarities. However, the similar levels of attractiveness is what it important here. You are equally hot. From what I hear in your question, your self-esteem may be lower than it needs to be.
Ladies love to laugh. Not like knock them over the head and drag them back to your cave, but put yourself out there. It takes some time, but I believe in you! People take their cues from you. If you make it an issue it will be an issue. If you say hey mom, no big deal, but I have a girlfriend. She will most likely say, oh ok. I also suggest not doing this in a confined space so then you can move on to something else, physically and conversationally.
I am not skinny, but maybe more lanky. I have been with them because I was attracted to them. I liked how they looked naked. I know that you may have your body issues, even we skinnier girls have them.
However, if your gf knows that you would like her to compliment you or say that you look good she just might oblige. Also, I am a person who shows love through gestures and thinking of my girlfriend. Some of my girlfriends have needed me to touch them or tell them that I love them instead of the meals I cook or things I do to show I care. This may be an issue too. Stigma sucks. They can be supportive and help you stay healthy.
Maybe this would be good to discuss with your doctor. Seems like something a therapist would have a lot of experience with. I would be dumping her roughly now. You do what you want about it but that shit is dismissive and erases an entire presumably important! It is way out of line. Talk first! But do it soon.
Just wait. Seriously, 4 months is not very long and you need to give her time. She is obviously not against you if she bought you a binder. Come read it! And to expand on the situation, since I told her I was trans many times she has mentioned when I came out the first time as gay.
She also says really misgendered things about other trans people. She also really supports LGB issues but for some reason not T. Constantly talk about a trans friend or celebrity make one up if you have to using the right pronouns. It was slow progress, but progress none the less! And connect it to an example that would make sense for her, like if someone called HER by male pronouns or something.
Unfortunately you also have to give her time…. You could try to correct her when she misgenders people. This worked with someone in my family. That said, coming out as queer is v. I really have no idea, but I would think you should get it out of the way as soon as possible. During their relationship, Feferi spent all of her time worrying about him and trying to keep him from committing genocide or hurting himself and expressed frustration at his reluctance to talk about his feelings or listen to her own.
Eridan, for his part, didn't kill all of the land dwellers because he knew it would upset her and helped her feed her lusus.
After Feferi's entry into The Medium , she terminates her moirallegiance with Eridan as a result of Eridan's overbearing and taxing nature. This devastates Eridan, although he takes the chance to ask Feferi about them becoming Matesprits instead, which she promptly refuses as well.
He is later seen attacking Sollux whom Feferi was in a matespritship with during the game, presumably in jealous rage. Later on the meteor, he tries to get Feferi to leave with him to join Jack, but Feferi refuses. Feferi attacks him after he knocks out Sollux and he fires at Feferi with his wand, killing her.
Later on, as Erisolsprite , he apologises to Feferi for killing her. In the dream bubbles, seemingly right after his death, one of his ghosts is greeted by Feferi, Aradia and Sollux. He appears to have been Vriska's kismesis , but has been completely shut down by her shortly prior to the events of Hivebent.
He asks Kanaya to mediate and become their auspistice , but she has no interest in his ashen advances. Later on in the comic, far after he and Vriska have both died, she makes remarks about Eridan indicating that she would enjoy his company on their dream bubble pirate ship.
Eridan dislikes Sollux , and frequently picks fights with him. He once attempted to solicit Terezi to be their auspistice, but she rejected him as Sollux wasn't interested.
Feferi interprets his fights with Sollux as attempting to get her to do the same, in order to pull her and Sollux out of their matespritship. Eridan seems to have flirted with Nepeta at some point, hoping that he could win her heart after he got her into the game. He complained that she rejected him, but that is largely because she is still obsessed with Karkat, according to Karkat himself. After attempting to tell Rose that magic was not real, he asked her to be his kismesis, claiming that they both hated each other.
She responded by destroying his computer, which probably did not help his feelings. Judging by Kanaya's conversations with Rose , Eridan continued to be interested in a rivalry with her; he asked Kanaya to make him a wand of magic science, supposedly to try to counteract Rose's magic. He does seem to have a strange friendship with Kanaya , valuing her for her apparent mediation skills, and he goes so far as to claim that he wouldn't kill her along with all the other land-dwellers.
Despite his more sinister intentions, he seems somewhat petulant and relies on the support of Kanaya and Feferi to get by. However, later he ends up killing Feferi and attempting to kill Kanaya. Before they began playing Sgrub, Karkat and Eridan seemed to be good friends.
Eridan was more open with his "nubby-horned bro" than he had been to Feferi when they were moirails, and Karkat in return at least attempted to help him with his problems, albeit exasperatedly.
Like many of the trolls, Eridan seemed to regularly seek romantic advice from him and they would frequently gossip about the other trolls' romantic relationships. However, it was implied that they had many conversations between them in which Karkat gave him advice that Eridan ignored. After Feferi "broke up" with him, Eridan sought advice from Karkat, attempting to use both a memo and Gamzee to contact him.
After future Karkat contacts him after his future self kills Feferi and Kanaya, Eridan first misinterprets this as black flirting then tries to get Karkat to talk about his problems, not understanding that he's talking to a Karkat from the future. It shouldn't escape notice that they seemed to have made some kind of pact at some point, Though due to timeline shenanigans, Eridan might have only thought they had a pact because Karkat mentioned it was over.
Eridan's Lusus appears to be a large sea horse probably known as a "Skyhorse", complete with saddle, which he rides into battle. He rides his Lusus while hunting for food for Feferi's gargantuan Lusus, supposedly out of obligation to Feferi. It's notable that his Lusus is the only one that wears any sort of clothes, for it has a saddle. Main Page All Pages Community. Jailbreak Characters Locations Objects Concepts. Characters Locations.

Of the remaining half, half of THEM were at least willing to admit that they didn't know. I don't think we're a first world nation any more. I think we lost our golden age and we're sinking into decline and I think the fact that we have two third world countries right next door that we routinely treat like hell and who are political punching bags any time a major party needs to cover up a domestic bungle just makes things worse.
We're not building the Hoover Dam any more, we're not educating the whole nation, we're not vaccinating en masse, and our middle class is crumbling and shrinking. Then you get these I'm really not happy about it but not so unhappy that I'm going to give the money back, you know? Cearmaid responded to on Tuesday 10 January, at Okay, okay. So, I like feel kinda bad for being so mean to the indestructible blockhead.
What's one or more like ways I can make it up to her? Write a diary of what you did today, what you think, what you were thinking, then give it to her to read. And then, because it's Eiko and she's not going to give the faintest skerrick of a damn about it, go buy her some meat. Hot or not? The british realised this portrait of the ideal woman.
Not like I'm in her league, but I couldn't date a woman whose face constantly reminded me of three other hotter women. Cearmaid responded to MonkeyLass on Tuesday 10 January, at Sun Wumei finds that today has contained far too much drama! Allow her to remedy this with a lighthearted question: What is your favorite form of comedy? Sun Wumei enjoys dry british humor! Sun Wumei lied, however. She prefers slapstick. I know it's kinda pathetic given how much time I spend in pubs and bars, but I'm really not into Bro-style and Hurr-style loud-and-bawdy humor.
I like satire. Cearmaid responded to SanderWilson on Tuesday 10 January, at Have you ever neglected formspring only to discover almost eighty messages in your inbox?
I have never found that many questions in my inbox, but by my observations, I ask tons more questions than anyone else does. When was the last time you were overwhelmed by something and you had absolutely no idea what to do? Did you know that rich guys - I mean, really, really rich guys - don't spend any of their money? They invest it all, and then they 'live' on the money that that money makes, as interest. The really, really rich guys do this in multiple funds and they buy yachts with the interest.
At a certain point the money just waterfalls and unless you put it in a great big pile and set it on fire, you'll never get rid of it. If you give it to charity, you get tax deductions which have a knock-on effect in the investments and you wind up making more money if you just wait around for it to arrive.
I have no idea how to react to it. Cearmaid responded to Formspring on Tuesday 10 January, at Do you trust your friends? This is the kind of question that drives me nuts because the words imply the answer and therefore, any difference from the expected answer is either being done for pretension's sake, or you get the expected, short, glib answer that generates no thought, no inspiration, no ideas. That said, I remembenr reading in a Japanese You should always be willing to listen to what a friend says and ask 'What if you're wrong?
So I trust, but verify. From America to Japan to Russia, go me. Something we do far too often. How do you feel about people who don't answer questions directly?
Yes, I realize I'm not exempt from this, but this isn't about me. It's about you. It's part of what made me stop asking public questions because it was just an exercise for people to generate massive amounts of white noise.
Have you ever enjoyed lying? Yeah, a few times. Cearmaid responded to TheAndrogyne on Tuesday 10 January, at Do you have a Formspring ritual?
Home, inbox, home, inbox, home, inbox, home, inbox, screw it, close phone, open phone, home, inbox, home, inbox- oh hey, someone posted something. I have too much free time at the moment. OOC: I think this has been asked before, but I can't remember.
If you have multiple characters, do they know each other? Or know of each other? What's your opinion on one person playin' characters that interact with each other regularly? If you can't write two characters having a conversation you don't really have characters. I swear I've been absent for a good reason. I've been working on opening a bakery since I'm not the sort to run a club.
Can some of you guys tell me what kinds of pastries you like? I'm a pretty capable baker. I'd just like some ideas. If you are anywhere near Talos, I have five tenants who seem to exist to generate pastries and who need to have their abilities turned towards the forces of good and away from giving their landlord a poor-self-control guided heart attack. Any blemishes on your soul? Blemishes are imperfections, and minor ones.
In which case inasmuch as anyone has a soul I'd say we'd all have blemishes on them and anyone who fancies otherwise is selling something. If you could ask me anything, what would it be?
Oh my, a self centered question. Why should I ask you any more questions? Don't take that confrontationally. I'm curious to see what you think of yourself. Cearmaid responded to ArielAblaze on Tuesday 10 January, at OOC: I hate retroactive continuity - it's so comic book! I really do want an answer to this one: How do you feel about retroactive continuity?
IC or OOCly don't matter. I think it's far better for players to acknowledge mistakes and change them to make things better than to try and slavishly serve the writings of their older self, who was almost without fail, less skilled.
I don't think you should ever have to retcon - I think that good planning and a good sense of self-awareness is important in writing. I also think that it's better, when you feel the need to fix things that are too fundamental to be fudged details - like, yes, ages, because let's face it, your age doesn't really determine your behaviour, it just determines how excusable it is - to break the character down, give them an end and start something new.
Broadly speaking, though: I would rather deal with a character with a short story that had been retconned to make it less grandoise than a character with a massive sprawling continuity full of excuses, explanations and justifications. Cearmaid responded to Tenebraxa on Wednesday 11 January, at I share some frustration! But, I think you're being a little hard on us. Consider how much more unequal our society was for any category I fit woman, homosexual, ethnic minority during any "golden age" last century.
We lost some steps, but took others. It's nicer in America than it is in, say, Rwanda, or Somalia, but just because our poor people are fat doesn't change the fact that they're poor. I won't deny that we make some progress, but we're not making it fast enough. This is a country where fundamental scientific truths are held in doubt because of religious belief, where politics get played around things that are actually happening and where we enslaved superpowered individuals - disproportionately, blacks and minorities.
I don't think the United States is a first-world nation any more. It was at its finest when the rest of the world sucked worse, then we exported our ideals and like every other outsourcing effort, they use it better than we do and now we're just sadly waving little flags. Cearmaid responded to MonkeyLass on Wednesday 11 January, at Sun Wumei finds smiles to be an odd thing on formspring. What makes you smile at an answer most often?
Funny, insightful? And how often do you give them out? I don't give them out because I rarely remember htem. I think they're a way to keep score, I guess? Cearmaid responded to letitglow on Wednesday 11 January, at Only because I know you all are dying for a cute bunny pic.
One of the few things about having ferrets that I regret is that they don't comingle with herbivores like bunnies very well. But I wouldn't trade the boys for anything. Cearmaid responded to ArielAblaze on Wednesday 11 January, at Hey wait. I was born in How does the law here treat time travel and dimensional displacement? If you push the issue, a bartender has only one obligation: Proof that your ID shows or earlier. If you want to avoid the worst of it, just don't get drunk in public.
You might get some lip about it from a liquor store owner, but this town has some jaded-ass sales staff. Cearmaid responded to on Wednesday 11 January, at If you're in the US, are you following the presidential primaries? And if you live outside the US, do you ever pay attention to American politics?
Yes, I'm paying close attention because nothing is ever so fascinating as the retardapalooza that is US politics. It's a spectator's sport of Duh. Cearmaid responded to Formspring on Wednesday 11 January, at What do you do to stay fit? I don't know, but I somehow manage it. Guess walking as much as I have helps. Plus I used to eat like a sparrow so I never got the whole 'three whoppers and a diet coke' thing going on.
So like, if I manage to make it back to my own time and parallel world, should I warn the heroes and other people about the Rikti Invasion? Sure, but they'll think you're nuts. And you'll tell them anyway. And then when it happens the crazy lady on the street corner who's been selling pencils out of a cup will throw off her cape, shake her fist and marshal all those people who are stunned to realise she's right.

Cearmaid responded to Formspring on Thursday 12 January, at Do you have a good singing voice? I've no idea. I've never heard anyone complaining, but I don't think I've sung much in public around sober people. Cearmaid responded to Zarpd on Thursday 12 January, at How would you describe your style? I wear a hoodie that's probably as old as I am and a shirt I got when I was nineteen with the kanji for 'fire' on it because I thought it looked cool.
I don't think I have a style. What's something that makes you feel alive? Kinda gets your blood pumping? Cearmaid responded to ArielAblaze on Thursday 12 January, at I'm an only child but i was thinking about how many of you have sibs?
Do you have the same powers? No siblings, so the power question kinda answers itself. In fact, I'm kinda depressingly alone here in the relative stakes. Do you have sibs? How many?
I have one, who is four years older than I am. She is herself, now in the process of reproducing, meaning I have two nephews. Cearmaid responded to TheAndrogyne on Thursday 12 January, at It's really, really not hard to do that kind of thing and now a bunch of artists have found work for a while. Cearmaid responded to watchouthoney on Thursday 12 January, at Modern or classic romance?
Cearmaid responded to PlasmaCutter01 on Friday 13 January, at I kinda dreamt I'd be rich and famous because of something I did, like I'd discover something amazing in a book somewhere. Plus I imagined I'd have to do something to maintain it, and now I kinda have to actively try to get rid of it. I hear you. It's probably the most unfair thing in the world: Money always begets more money. Once you surpass critical mass and don't fuck up, shit breeds like rabbits.
Tried using the cash to change the world yet? In little bits, but even if I burn it by donating en masse to charities, it generates more money in tax breaks. Plus, there are entire cadres of people whose livelihood is predicated on my money being there to sustain their businesses, meaning that throwing it away is really selfish. The worst part of it is just getting to the point where you're treading water is such a hard slog. I cleaned gutters in a fucking abbatoir for god's sake.
I welded pipes in sewers, sewers that periodically had zombies in them. And that wasn't worth as much, apparently, as knowing to hire a few good accountants. It really is like coathangers. You put two in a closet and walk away long enough and when you come back there's a thousand of the fuckers. Aim higher? Bankroll someone sane to campaign for congress, or a lobby group to push a law that makes gun ownership mandatory, or some mad scientist trying to clean up the atmosphere.
Declare war on fossil fuels or so. That should keep you busy, no? Re: Government, the whole notion of it intimidates the hell out of me. You can't fix things with one guy in congress, and if I buy even one, I'll know he can be bought by someone better. The alt-fuels thing is funny, the genesis of the money was a coal and natural gas empire by my great-uncle's father. You seriously believe there's a single politician out there who's not in some way in someone's pocket?
Okay, maybe on like a communal level. You don't really need to grease a training wheel, do you? I think that there's no politician who could handle the job who wouldn't be corrupted by the money. Anyone who I could use money to get in would be buyable by someone else, and anyone who wasn't buyable would be sinkable by other people more dirty.
I'd basically need that 'virgin whore' dichotomy that idiots want of their girlfriends. And even if I find it, that's one vote. I need like, twenty, thirty, to make a difference in politics en masse. And even then when I'm done, congratulations, I've sunk lots of money into showing even worse people with as much money as me that it can be done.
I dunno, it seems like a bad way to solve the problem. Of late I've started buying businesses with proactive hiring policies and financing scholarships. So far, it just seems to people that I'm crazy. Thankfully, I've avoided a lot of public scrutiny.
Even those people who connect what I'm doing with who I am aren't likely to recognise me on the street. Cearmaid responded to MaxImpact on Friday 13 January, at Hey, nicely done. Things that would normally be out of their grasp for some reason. Things that they want in the world around them. Things they can't make for themselves. Big problems they want to solve. Why you do things the way you do them - how many people have really considered the ramifications of their lives?
Apparently, a lot of you guys are supers: That opens a huge amount of moral and social implications and that's fascinating.
And - no offence meant directly - a little less wub wub wub my wubby lambkin schnookums stuff. Trust me, I can imagine how that's like, the best feeling ever, but I just don't have any way to talk to it and it feels almost like you're talking a different language in front of me.
You know? I could, personally anyway, address some of that, but the question space isn't really enough room. But hey, you're welcome to toss a few Q's my way. That's fine. And like I said, I don't mean offence. I imagine if I'd found the one I'd be insufferable, considering how I treat word counts.

Cearmaid responded to Formspring on Friday 13 January, at It's Friday the 13th! What will happen today? My naturally skeptical response is 'Nothing you moron,' but Ladydarkhealz 's conversation has me suspicious there might actually be something to Hebrew numerology. Where's a great night-spot in the city that I can like hint around for "ice-man" to take me our date tonight?
Given your age, there's a pool hall that shuts at eleven across from the Steel Canyon police station. Pretty safe, off-duty cops, and the food's good. What's wrong with antlers? They make great handholds. Tell me how common they are and I'll tell you what's not normal about them.
There is some fun to be had in sneaking around harmlessly. Have you ever trespassed where you should have not? I was told by an old British immigrant who grew up in our area that sneaking into apple orchards and stealing apples, if you were underaged, was a crime specifically called 'scrumping.
Cearmaid responded to TheAndrogyne on Friday 13 January, at FML Friday: What was the best thing that happened to you on the worst day of your life? I have the chest of the nurse who injected me with the painkillers burned on my memory.

Sun Wumei says the video games in which you drive race cars on a track. So, even though I'm not in the Northern hemisphere right now, for some reason it's cold and wet. Thus, hot drinks! What do you prefer - tea, coffee, hot chocolate, other? Hot chocolate with a dash of cinnamon and apple. Famous poem: I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
What are your opinions? Oh, definitely. I really love Faige. I really will always love Faige. She's the sweetest person I know, she's kind, she's funny, she's interested in the world.
When she and I parted ways, it was really sad, and I felt like I should have somehow But now, after that, with that whole story behind me and her? She's learning about the world. I'm providing for Chell and becoming a citizen. What we both have is better, and we still have each other. The love of a friend is still love. And the love of a memory is still love. Noooo promises on the minimum of secret women's business.
I'll have to get you fitted for witch hats in preparation for the formation of a coven. How do you find the strength to do what you know in your heart is right? You draw a breath. You look inside yourself. You think, seriously, if you ever want to be the person that ran. You ask yourself if you can stay your hand. You ask yourself if going to sleep in a world where someone with the opportunity to do what you're going to do stands and does nothing is worth it.
You ask yourself if someone else was in this situation, and you'd be the person affected, if you'd ever be happy if they passed the opportunity to do the right thing. And then you open your eyes and you make it happen.
You change the world. Even if what you're doing is refilling the coffee pot but you really, really don't want to do it. What do you feel you deserve? A wage, a home, my sister's healthcare, an opportunity to become a citizen and the chance to determine and pursue my own destiny.
What is your greatest regret? I really regret starting medical school in the Isles. It's pretty much the most worthless and unethical stuff I ever learned. Define beauty. Something getting dangerously close to my little sister and inevitably predicating a lot of arguments about boys. I intend to force my brother into doing something "fun" this weekend.
Any suggestions? Valentine's Day is just around the corner. How do you usually celebrate? Do you get gifts for your friends? Or just your SO? Metaphorically, I'm going to be sitting on the porch cleaning my shotgun. SnaredJr responded to letitglow on Friday 10 February, at I liked the response from this question so much, that I wanted to ask again. If there is any advice you could bestow upon me personally - what would it be?
Why would you ask strangers for their advice? I think that's the advice I'd offer, really. There can't be that many people whose opinions really matter to you. Schoolteachers, firefighters, policemen and more - who are your favourite people who get paid thanks to your tax dollars?
Call it a vested interest, but I'm very fond of police officers, particularly those in heavy-meta areas. I mean, no ulterior motive there. Myoden Sza-tra-ie-chen. It's Mu. Not a lot of people speak it, less in public. You learn the swears, you learn what gets yelled at you if you go to the wrong parts of potter's field, you remember it and you run from it.

The more you knooooow. Etoile questions are fun. What's the worst question your family's asked you this Christmas period? Do you give blood? It started when my sister needed transfusions and now it's a habit. So far, it hasn't worked as a way of meeting people, but apparently some folk find having a needle in your arm a good conversation starter.
Could you drop all your pretensions and say what you think, honestly, without even the common, polite lies we all use, for one day? Oh hell no! How many times do you think 'Well, thank you for telling us that ma'am' could be translated to 'You're an idiot and I don't care' when I'm investigating something?
Almost all of them! In terms of tactical skill, would you rather have perfect insight on when to commit, or when to expand?
Committing is about finishing, expansion is about being ready to finish. I would rather have it within my means to have many chances to finish a fight than just having the knowledge of the one perfect time to finish it earlier.
Pluto, the celestial body. Do you have an opinion on this? Do you consider yourself well-informed on it? Ever since I told Chell there were nine planets while she was doing her homework I haven't stopped hearing about it. How are you checking and answering formspring at the moment? SnaredJr responded to letitglow on Saturday 11 February, at I must be naive or truly blind. Is racism really still that much of an issue? I've never been subjected to it until I began dating Max. I think I could find worse things to be upset over than a biracial couple.
I'm going to guess you've got educated parents. SnaredJr responded to Stheras on Saturday 11 February, at Have you ever seriously considered suicide? No, not at all. SnaredJr responded to Cearmaid on Saturday 11 February, at I talk a lot about workplace stuff. What about you? What's something funny or sweet that's happened to you in your line of work that sticks in your memory? I think that story you told about a cop doing a Full Sherlock on everyone was one of my coworkers in the Special Offenders Unit.
Funny story, he had to take some time off because his medication provoked a full mutation in him and now he can't claim he's 'totally normal' any more. Oh, he was cranky.
Do you know someone with powers similar to yours? Have you ever seen powers like your used in ways you haven't considered before? My father could also host the symbiote.
I never got to watch him work. I also turned up in Pocket D to meet several people just in time to hear someone threaten to 'tear that symbiote off you. Who pronounces your name correctly? Real name, hero name? They're all really easy, and very intuitive. Ryker is basically the Finnish version of Richard.
The tricky thing is getting people to spell it correctly. When was the last time someone did something nice for you? After reading all your answers, the next time I came home late, Chell had left 'dinner in the fridge' for me and left a post-it note on the door telling me such. There was a box of Applejacks inside next to the milk.
If you have them, do you know the upper limits of your powers? Have you ever tested them? The energy absorption has a cap - I've suffered a major plasma burn from a Rikti device called a Solar Cannon, that unloads enough energy quickly enough that the symbiote can't absorb it. The other parts of my powers, they're very hard to test, and awfully mundane.
Your friend's being bothered by something. What do you do: get them to talk about it, or get them to talk about anything BUT it? The direct approach never works on little girls. Picking a FS'er of your choice and without naming who, you have 24hrs to do whatever you wish!
Be it going to Disneyland, having a all-out fight, or rap battle, etc Oh, heck, I don't know, I just got here.
The only person here I really know is FaigeHarrison and she and I have pretty much done everything with 24 hours to do with as we wish, just before she moved. A traffic cone was involved at one point.
SnaredJr responded to innocuus on Saturday 11 February, at What is the scariest sea creature? What would you do for dollars? I might get a haircut. You know, down from long. Okay, maybe more than just that. Maybe marathons? Maybe some kind of physical endurance test, like staying in a bubble? A hundred guys' extra paperwork that they don't want to do? I'd really like to hear your take on this, too.
It's a really interestingly phrased question, makes me wonder what's on your mind. I thought I wanted to be a doctor. I started schooling in a St Martial university-like arrangement, with some courses over in Cap Au. It had a lot of travel, and it was hard work, but I was very focused and wanted to be a doctor because I always thought it was an admirable goal. A good way to improve the life of people around me, because everyone in Sharkhead knows a doctor. If you get hurt in Sharkhead, you don't go to the hospital unless you're an actual Arachnos operative.
What you do is you run down to a corner and you try to get seen by the guy who lives there, the sawbones, the doctors of the street. I thought this was a really admirable arrangement, a sort of small-town kind of professional, pulling with the community. Didn't really work out like that. Most of the 'training' was just basic surgery, and most of the 'professionals' I was learning from were pretty terrible.
When I came to Paragon and started working on seeing what I thought I'd known, it turned out that my four years of training was not just not worth much, but it was worth basically nothing. That was disquieting - and it made me realise those nice guys on street corners were often doing really nasty things in their home surgeries, we just didn't realise it.
SnaredJr responded to pressdotexe on Sunday 12 February, at What's the last thing someone made just for you? A drink! A subroutine for correcting spelling errors on remmed text? A photo of your own bicep? Go on, tell me about it! This is a very odd set of examples. Henderson made a gigantic pile of paperwork for me, because Officer Callum refuses to do his and with a certain person not clocking in regularly everyone else's paperwork slides.
That wasn't very nice. Chell 'made' me dinner for when I came in at midnight last night, but I've shared that story. And Chell made me a piece of artwork made out of braided string which is apparently part of her crafts at school. They're getting Valentines Day-ey at school, but she wanted to make something for me instead.
Guys: Have you ever worn a dress or a skirt on purpose? I have. It was a production of Pride and Prejudice and I was the only person over the age of twelve involved. And Chell wanted to be Mr Darcy for some reason.
It was not very fetching. Do you like Valentine's day? It's not celebrated on most of the Etoile in the same way. You're actually more likely to go to church to celebrate the actual saint, which is pretty weird if you know about the background. What's your favorite kind of soda? I hate to be boring, but I live on a coke drip these days. So much need for caffeine. SnaredJr responded to Formspring on Sunday 12 February, at Do you like donuts? I am reasonably certain that this is a racist question and that I am allowed to punch you.
Do you feel that you need others to be as smart or as intelligent as you, in order to enjoy their company? You need a common ground, but smart is really a matter of perception. If I spent the whole day speaking German and Italian, I wouldn't have many conversations, and I might seem very clever - or very stupid, depending, I suppose - but it wouldn't really give me much company.
SnaredJr responded to Zexecutioner on Sunday 12 February, at How much do you worry? What do you worry about? What recently? My little sister's well-being mostly. It's very easy to be confident about my work. How many people have you kissed? Hey Ryker, are you gonna follow me publicly or am I going to have to post those pictures I have of you?
Said Voltaire: "Doubt is an uncomfortable emotion, but certainty is an absurd one. Or disagree? I don't know. There are some things in which I feel certain, but if I sat down and really thought them through I guess I'd have to be willing to accept that there is some extremely narrow situation in which I could be proven wrong.
In that case, I guess I'd have to say that my certainty is not, in fact, certain. But if a scientist wanted me to get all definey I'd have to admit that, no, I'm not certain. Just very very very close. SnaredJr responded to letitglow on Monday 13 February, at If you could visit someone's dreams, who would it be and what do you imagine you'd find there?
I'd like to visit Ghost Widow's dreams. Because she says the dead never change, while changing so much herself, it seems to me that she's got to have something very strange going on up top.
SnaredJr responded to Formspring on Tuesday 14 February, at What do you like about your home town? I'm going to claim Atlas for this, okay?
It's clean! There's a park on top of our building. There's a police helicopter around that doesn't have bullet holes on the underside. The air is really clean and sweet. And the elevators are reliable and spacious for wheelchairs. They take into account other people's needs.
SnaredJr responded to Cearmaid on Tuesday 14 February, at What's the worst book you ever finished reading? Not just got sick of and threw against the wall in disgust. Nobody will believe Atlas Shrugged, but I did finish it. SnaredJr responded to letitglow on Tuesday 14 February, at With regards to Valentine's Day: do you believe it to be possible to love more than one person at a time in the same way?
Love is a seed whose flowers spread and grow; Love is not water that fills a cup; Love need not be without, and when within Love, best know when to shut up. It's snappier in Italian, but I think I got the scan. SnaredJr responded to pressdotexe on Tuesday 14 February, at What's an innocent or mundane phrase you use commonly that sounds very unpleasant out of context? When I was investigating schools here in the states, I hear a guy say that as a quarterback, he 'really wanted a thick deep threat in the end.
Some common sentences are also odd, because I speak a few languages. Like 'gift' is German for 'poison. It's a horrible sounding phrase and terribly violent towards something we normally associate with innocence and purity. It's just a diving term. What is the first thing to your right? The last thing you held? The last thing you let go? Last person you texted?
The first person you wanted to speak to today? My alarm clock. It's flashing at me and if not for this phone I wouldn't be sure what the time is. I had to get in late, and I'm always too tired to feel like I should bother fixing it. The last thing I held - since I'm still holding the phone and held indicates past tense - was my sister. She's fretting about a swimming competition, she's upset that she might have to go back to a wig - the two things together are a frustrating possibility.
The last thing I let go of was my boots. Thump thump. Onto the floor, laces undone, feet wriggling out of plain white socks, pulled off with big toe in the top, pull down, then mirror the gesture and kick the ball into the hamper in the corner.
The last person I texted was Commander Heavensrun. I had to explain my lateness when I woke up, but fortunately, it was all understood. I made up the time tonight, which is why I'm siitting here, still awake, at 4 in the morning.
The first person I wanted to speak to today was Chell, of course. I wanted to hear her talking about whatever was bothering her, about school, about swimming, about fencing. Heck, she asked me some questions, and I think I'll pass them on myself. Chell tells me I'm not allowed to post the picture I have on my phone of her, because she doesn't like wig pictures. So here! This is a picture I saw today, and Chell said reminded her of someone she's seen posting here.
So there's a little mystery for you. A friend has used public space to comission graffiti artists to depict you punching out a dinosaur. I guess it would be awesome, if that's the word I'd have to use. I'm going with 'nice.
If a complete stranger gave you a million dollars what would you do with it? Pay off every medical bill I had. Invest it in medical research. Now, what is something you admire on a fellow Formspringer? I've met, I think, three of you, and LadyDarkhealz doesn't have much about her body I could recognise appreciating in myself. On the other hand! Fair skin, hard body, dark hair. He wears his beard really well. Clearly works out, he has a very top-heavy frame.
I prefer to evoke a shark, but I guess I'd put it to any ladies who've met him: Is not Gideon's shoulder breadth, coupled with the way he stands, seat of power in his thighs, alluring? I'm going to say that. I wish I could stand like he does.
