You should write a story about a 12 year old vampire boy who was raped by a human female. No one would see that one coming.

I think it would be better if you made those sorts of decisions, that's just my opinion.

Stephanie Meyer is an international best selling author, and although War and Peace by Dostoyevsky is no dante's inferno and it might not win any literature awards I still think she has achieved something wonderful.

I wish I had your confidence though!

i hate people ... if I try to itemize one type, it's like dividing by zero in my brain.



But I also love them... sometimes.

I hate the idea that you're supposed to grow up and not do things anymore. It's a crock of shit.

He's only done one series, give him a chance. And Emila Pond is not THAT good, her script has been mainly aweful. I think Matt Smith has grown a great deal from the begining of the series to the end,  he could be a great doctor.

no ray tracing, we can get good enough lighting using basic ambient and specular lighiting and some shaders, which are much faster.

she's not such a hot shot anymore, but she was a decent machine when i got her December 2007. Her first name was starbuck, but when she rose from the ashes like a beautiful Phoenix with a fresh new op on her, she needed a new name. I called her Tardis. :)

I like to watch movies with magic in them when I have a hangover.  :wink:

yeah, you've told me before you were 24, I always forget. I think it's because of the way you articulate your opinions. So different from most of the 24 year olds i know.

I know their is no medical reason for the libido to deminish, but certainly some older woman notice a difference. I hope mine deminishes a little bit as time goes on; it would make my work life a lot easier. There is a time and a place for these things and at my office desk isn't one of them.

I am glad the 'shacking up' business is cleared up. It's agreed, we're all allowed to have sex. :)

There is no way I am reading all of that. I hate being on the other side of the planet. But from the first post, to boil down the whole of the human psychology pertaining to attraction to those few bullet points is a massive stretch... or squish. There is so much more complexity involved in what makes people attracted to eachother and often woman don't base there attraction on how nice men are to puppies.... we're not living in pleasantville.

Personally, I think the gamer thing is irrelevant, especially since most people of my generation are or have played some sort of video game and realise; like music or movies it offers a release and an abstraction from real life that can be both liberating and fun.

I do like hygienic men, I do like the smell of fresh sweat and I like my men to look scruffy when we go the movies and I'd like him to wear a suit when we  go to an office party. In that respect you are both right. There are a few commonailties in what women want in a man, but there is certainly no template.

I could rant on about what that template is for me, but frankly the only thing it will teach you is what i want in a man. Which is quite useless.

For the record, I didn't see what happened in the shoutbox, and I didn't feel the first post was particularly hostile. But I guess you had to be there.

Also, wunderkid makes good sense. However not "shacking up" with any guy poses an extremely difficult situation for me. I'm 24 years old, every other thought i have is about sex. How am I supposed to choose the right guy when my mind is clouded by the fact that I'm not allowed to get laid??!!??!!??

You're telling me about anti-popular. I don't like the beatles! They are so popular, especially here! The only problem is i like all the songs.

I hate the beatles, i love the songs. Damn their popularity.

I think it sounds much better with an even prefixed to it.


Even if I do say so myself.
