I think personally, that God started the world and made everything the way it says, just not in the time frame. For God seven days could be more like 7 million years. Therefore, there is enough room for evolution and Adam and Eve. (Adam and Eve would have happened as we believe they did chronologically, with the movement from ape to human being the "made in God's image part"). Everything makes sense this way!

Oh rust waddup

BIG BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Well thats a damnation fine birthday gift if I've ever seen one. I wish I could give you something nearly so nice, but all I have are really bad unfinished stories. @TwiLyghtSansSparkles

I bite things. Normally I wear sweatshirts so I bite the strings by the hood until they fray, and if I'm not wearing a sweatshirt I'll either bite the chain I wear on my neck or bite my fingers till they bleed. I have some small scars. I also have a habit of talking really quickly when I get nervous, and my pitch generally gets higher (this is actually SUPER recent). I normally have what most people consider an extremely deep voice but over the course of a conversation I start to hit my upper registers without thinking. I also generally look incredibly bored. It's not you, I'm just staring at something nonexistent.

...What you don't know won't hurt you.

Don't make crazy uncle mistakes... please.

Trust me when I tell you that I have many friends outside of my immediate family. My father does not, however. He attempts to spend as little time with his family as he can, shutting us out regularly. It's pretty rough, but I've gotten used to it.

This happens to me a lot, but mostly because I'm INFP. Depending on how I see the world on a certain day, my view could change. And while I'm farther into puberty than you, I still have trouble dealing with my emotions, especially when I go through an argument. I funnel all of my emotions into anger, and I become cold and empty otherwise. My personality leads me to see the world in start contrast, with either everything being amazing and bright or dark and deadly. Most likely, you will be fine, as long as you find a way to reconnect with your emotions either through an activity or friendship. I have to disagree with this. There are many people(my father included) who actually find far more joy in being alone. Some people find the quiet and the loneliness to be fulfilling. I'm one of those people who can interact, but I rarely show my true self. It just seems too tiring to be who I really am.

Ha. When did we transition from IX to X? How does that work?

@dead-moth I'm a greedy guy, and seeing all these great pictures makes me jelly. (These are SUPER amazing.)

@Manukos I'm gonna tag you so you see this. I found the first four Wheel of Time books to be enjoyable. The beginning of the first book was a bore, but I found myself being drawn to the story by the time they started meeting more of the characters. However, I could barely get three chapters into the fifth book before giving up. It felt like Jordan was milking the story. All respect due to the writer, he crafted a world that many people have fallen in love with, including Sanderson. I personally could not see what was so great about him. In an effort to understand the incredibly convoluted story, I went to Wikipedia. I loved the world and the vision he had, but he REALLY failed in executing it. I feel the middle books could be mostly condensed into one book or they could have discarded the majority of the obtuse content. It saddens me to see how great the story could have been, because it failed at achieving its grand scope. I had trouble connecting with many of the characters, especially the female characters in particular. Every moment with the three main female leads was tiring, which is a feeling that I never felt in a book before. I have also heard many others (not on this forum) feel as though Rand became a particularly isolated character. Many people just didn't feel for him, and he became more of a force than a character. I really wanted to like WoT, but I couldn't. To this day it remains one of the only series I have not finished.

One side would be you, the other would be an alternate's alternate. This is the entire point. By becoming varying alternates, one could possibly find the right gold shadow to use in a specific situation, similar to Shai's soul stamps, except more powerful and more limited. Instead of being the person at this keyboard, you could tap the Identity of a master scholar, or a powerful warrior. Similar to Shai of the Fist. It would actually be pretty useful.

That would be a pretty creative way to use Investiture, but that begs the question: In another form, would you be able to find a further version of your original self? That would go to the point where you could become anyone.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Anyway, I'm Jedal, and have an upvote! Sanderson is a great writer, I will agree!

Depends on whether or not Dalinar has a strong enough hold over Elhokar and whether or not he has gone full Bondsmith. I think it could happen, but it would be more like Dalinar and co. trying to stop the war and either uniting the two or a huge war where Odium would make an appearance. It would be epic either way.

This is allowancy, not Forging, and the emperor's Cognitive persona was destroyed, not replaced. I'm saying this as someone who is not completely brain dead, unlike the emperor.

Well, considering life is a joke... Make 'em laugh make 'em laugh make 'me laugh! (If no one knows where that is from I will be sorely disappointed)

No, that's not the reason why I get pissed. I'm gonna be frank, I live in the same town as some of the most heartless bastards you will ever meet. I always try to be kind to everyone that I meet, but over the course of my academic career, I have been continually passed over for someone who has more connections to the headmaster or someone who is well connected with their peers. Also, in school, children would continually take advantage of my outward naivete as a child and punish me for it. This coupled with the fact that leads me to have a pretty black and white and bleak outlook on the current human race. I'm in a better environment now, but I've retreated so far back into my ideologies and love for books that I have trouble being trusting. I'll still be kind, I'm just less inclined to make friends.

NICE! Another one! Yeah, in real life, I'm a jerk. I'm a conceited, all about me, jerk. At least, that's how most people see me. To myself, I'm just confused. I see the world one way, and I desire it another. People in my life are at their core evil, and in order to detract from their insanity, I am hotheaded, rude and brutally honest. But inside, if I'm being honest, I'm a child. I see the world for all the stars in the sky and all the good we can do and it makes me so damnation angry to see people want to detract from our collective potential. So I get into fights, and lots of people don't like me, but the ones who do generally stick around.

High school. I'm done now though! Triumph!

But it's so much more work! I think I'll stick with highschool for now.

*Laughs in two week winter break* I love my New York private school
