  1. If you do not like it, don't blame her! You can blame her friends on the other side!
  2. She might end up making friends on the other side.
  3. At the moment, it looks like Cruz will win the Iowa primary (which means nothing. The past two winners were Rick Santorum and Mike Hukkabee, and we saw how that worked out for them). We really won't get an idea of who's the actual strong candidate until a few primaries are under our belt. History seems to indicate it will not be Trump or Cruz, though (since poll numbers don't seem to be an accurate reflection of actual voting patterns... which is funny that campaigns have to rely so much on them!)
  4. This may be the Stormlight talking, but with enough planning I'm good enough with almost any meetup (So this year the Hugos are close to Kaymyth, and the World Fantasy convention is in Columbus Ohio though I do not know which, if any, Brandon will show up to...I'm thinking Hugos is much more likely)
  5. I know! And Kobold and I got hooked on a feeling and everything, all for naught!
  6. What is on my mind? I hope it's not spiders. I don't need spiders scuttling on my mind, laying their spider eggs. That would just be so tedious to deal with.

      Aliens. Right Late Night Television by me for further answers (Shameless self promotion)

      Yep, it was alien spider eggs hatching in my mind. Stupid entities that manifest mostly in the fifth dimension, do you know how hard it is to use insecticides in non Euclidean spaces?

  7. Shallan is soooo popUlar! I wonder who will take her to the prom?
  8. I can't stop...this...feeeeling....deep insiiiide of me.... girl you just don't realize... what you doooo to me...
  9. He's not old enough to realize what he is missing out on
  10. I guess what I'm trying to get at is that there should be a balanced perspective. Sanderson can write female characters because he has that balanced perspective/ has people around him that will call him out if how he portrays some demographic is wrong/bad. So yes, you are correct. Female writers are not necessary, but empathetic or people willing to look at different viewpoints are.
  11. Quick rebuttal: a call for calm is usually a means to declaw the opposition. If one only wants to discuss things in a "collected" manner, then by all means do so. That does not mean that someone has to ignore their hurt so others will be more comfortable... particularly because that hurt is part of the reason to call out the behaviour to begin with. As far as the Doctor being female: Moffet did set the stage for this to happen. I can not recall another instance when a Time Lord changed gender/sex/whatever-term-you-want-to-use-I-don't-care before Missy (with the exception of a comedy sketch involving the guy who does Mr. Bean, but that's hardly canon). So even if he will never do it, he has made it feasible for someone else to do so. Now, should they do it? If they do, the necessity for female writers will be a lot greater, I think.
  12. Having fun changing my Avatar again. Going from classic literary to modern comics with Lying Cat.
  13. I guess "happy" would be the better word.Her exact words were "Oh, thank heavens!"
  14. "John, we'll give you this ham sandwich if you voice Discord for our silly fan fight" "I also want chips And a drink!" "You'll get chips and an ice water" "Deal"
  15. No Cowboy Beebop recommendation? Bah! Though I do second the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood recommendation. And if Angel Beats is what I think it is, that's also good.
  16. I would say the best argument for Discord beating Bill is that he is essentially Q in animated form.
  17. "Why should we hire you?" "Because I can come up with better interview questions than that!" Or "I'm not here to do your job!" The mother incident sucks, and I believe is more rooted in her self-centeredness than any desire to sabotage your job search. She just seems like the type of person to enter the room and say, "I'm Twimom, look at me!"
  18. I think I only care about Oathbringer The dates seem reasonable, the rough call for The Winds of Winter is that Martin does not seem to do drafts. He writes and revises until he finishes. You also can not put too much stock in how close he feels he is to finishing. The best indication that progress is being made is that he is taking on less outside work and is traveling less. The latter is very important, since he writes on an old computer only, so if he is traveling he is not writing.
  19. I imagine the final line will be the heroine saying: "Before they stole his heart...I stole a kiss..."
  20. indeed, we might have the next YA craze in our hands!
  21. Subtitle: Before the cannibals arrive, they will taste love!
  22. I disagree. The apocalypse is exactly the most appropriate time to make out with people you barely know! After all, when will you get the next opportunity? You're all about die!
