    Hey, that's nothing -- most good fountain pens cost more than that. And to be fair, it does write in zero gravity, underwater, and in temperatures ranging from -30 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

    This pen can write in zero gravity, underwater, and in temperatures ranging from -30 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. I want one.

    Coldplay and The Chainsmokers have done a song together.

    I may cry.

      Cry for joy, that is. The song is beautiful.

    Um, Huskies. Favorite musical era (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary, etc.)?
  7. Slowswift
    Looking forward to seeing more of them, then.

    Agreed and double-agreed. Finch is awesome.

    Pity I don't like eggplant. My house smells absolutely divine right now. -_-

      Eggplant Parmesan?

      Yup.

      Ah. That is a pity. I'm not fond of it, either, preferring the chicken variety of that dish.

    Twinborn, probably, though being an Oculator wouldn't be too bad.

    So, last night (or, well, early this morning ) I finished the first season of Person of Interest. It's an absolutely amazing show, and I recommend it to everyone. In the last episode: Now we just need our internet to work properly again so I can watch the rest of it on Netflix.

    You remind me of how in MI:5, an assassin's rifle is disguised as a bass flute. It was actually kind of awesome.

    Saaame. Oh, I totally understand why the rules are there. Just implementing can be hard. And yeah, maybe. I hope to be able to bike to places more often, and I need to work on the more mild aspects of my social anxiety anyways.
  14. Slowswift
    Yeah, that sounds like the best course of action. Thanks.

    I don't know about significantly uncomfortable. It's just annoying when trying to kneel or go down the stairs, but it only really hurts when I try to squat or kneel for a long time. Basically, putting pressure on the knees is a no. It's not affecting my life in a bad way right now, so I think I can put off a doctor's visit. I'm probably gonna be getting a full exam sometime soon as a prerequisite for a religious mission, so the doc can check it out then. I also need to get my wisdom teeth out, probably my tonsils as well. Which would totally be fine except for the fact that I have a phobia of medical procedures.

    I'm not alone! Well, I will occasionally eat bacon, but it's rare.
  17. Slowswift
    Well, guess who's never going to bike again out of social anxiety?

    It may be the fact that I'm just easily pleased when it comes to some things, but the Inheritance Cycle is still one of my favorite series, despite the fact that it's so derivative. As others have said, it was one of the first fantasy works I'd read (though I believe I'd also read some Sanderson at this point, not exactly sure), and it was definitely an inspiration for me too. You know that defensiveness you get when somebody criticizes a favorite series of yours, for whatever reason? I was honestly starting to feel that a little bit, and then I read the last paragraph: I'm always happy when people can acknowledge the fact that a work has good qualities in spite of all the (occasionally deal-breaking) flaws. It's something I try to do myself. Also, I totally agree -- Paolini himself is awesome, and I'm hoping that he's grown enough as a writer and a person that if he ever decides to return to that world, he'll do a much better job of it.

    Also, I love being able to say that I have a bag full of loot from LUTE. :P

    Also, the conference's name is commonly abbreviated as LTUE (spelled out; nobody I know says "luh-too"), but a certain few, including myself, have taken to referring to it as Lute -- some liberties with word order, yes, but it's easier than saying "ell-tee-yoo-ee" every time and is also a bit more thematically appropriate.

    So, I spent the weekend at Life, the Universe, and Everything, Utah's scifi/fantasy writer's symposium and fan convention (less the latter than the former, but there are elements of both). I attended a variety of fascinating panels and learnt tons of interesting things, but if there's one thing I can pass on to y'all?

    If you ever get the chance to see M. Todd Gallowglas (or any other oral storyteller, really, but especially him) do his thing, take it. :D

    Y'know, I'm not much of an expert on the medical stuffs, but maybe, just maybe, an 18-year-old's knees shouldn't be trying their best to imitate a fresh bowl of Rice Krispies.

    Honestly? I though it sounded pretty good. Though, since "carbivore" would be a more apt description for me than "vegetarian", this doesn't particularly surprise me.
  24. Slowswift
    I believe I'll be able to attend Friday and Saturday.
  25. Slowswift
    Didn't know what that was, so I looked it up. Now I am grinning the grin of a happy book nerd. I picked up the first one at LTUE last year; we'll have to see if I can do the same with this one. I'll definitely be bringing my other unsigned Wells books though.
