  1. Seriously, though. Kaladin's depression. So relatable. The biggest complaint I've heard about him is "He whines all the time!" And I can see that, looking back, but as I was reading, it just connected. I connected Kaladin's depression with my own bad spells, and it's so well described. I read somewhere that Sanderson based it off of his wife's depression, and I can really tell. It's written like it is. And yes, that does mean he comes off as whiny to some. I can't blame ya for that; I'm sorry to say I've disliked characters for much less. This is just a roundabout way to agree with everybody else. He doesn't downplay mental disorders/illnesses. He doesn't make them little plot devices that can be discarded at a moment's notice. They feel real. And they are so relatable.
  2. Just thinking about the cuteness in that video... I'm... I'm... speechless...Thank you. I say we accept Mollie and Bruno as our pug overlords.
  3. Procrastination. How well that word summarizes my life. I'm suddenly depressed.
  4. Does anyone write... in appropriate hours of day? Well? And the above posted Ten GIF basically explains how I feel right now.
  5. Gasp! I just did that today! Hypnosis is delicious sometimes. I am now at a stage of sleep-deprivation I was not aware existed. Hyperactivity. I'm hyperactive.
  6. Random comment incoming! I don't know if anyone's done this but the best cosplay ever would be a bunch of people dressed as the Avengers sitting in a shawarma place just eating Did I mention that I'm sleep-deprived?
  7. Exactly what I was thinking!
  8. Moving halfway across the country the day after tomorrow, nothing else to sit on next to the computer, and I honestly don't know
  9. We have no chairs anymore I am sitting on a box I would be laughing if I was less tired
  10. Can't things stop happening for a while? Just have time stop for a few weeks so I can catch up on the universe? I was up until midnight last night packing. And then I had to get the stuff I need until we can unpack at the new house. I'm not in the best condition. I'm waiting for the stage of being sleep-deprived where everything is randomly hilarious.
  11. And that's why I think I relate so well with some of his characters. They're real. The problems they have aren't just external. I've been trying to explain my thoughts on this, writing and deleting sentences, words, and paragraphs, but really, I just want to say I agree 100%.
  12. Late like Slowswift (though even later). Can I still join up? I like the caves idea. Then we'd have the opportunity to do some pretty awesome geologic stuff. And I've always wanted to know how stuff would've worked out if the other biped humanoids had survived. Some species would be more advanced, others not; how would everything work out? Would more advanced races be benevolently helping the less-developed species, or would they treat them with disdain?
  13. I just meant it was impossible to choose. It was a joke. You're fine.
  14. Finally! A well-lit, legitimate alleyway! How charming.
  15. This question is not okay. I do feel like Elantris is the Martha Jones of his works, though- horribly underrated. It isn't some of his best writing in stuff like word choice and flow, but man, that plot twist. And, you know, Elantris.
  16. The downvote is fixed. While taking the legs off of our baby grand yesterday a leg landed on my foot, wheel-side first. Those legs are heavy. I might've broken something. Seems like a bad time for the feet of Sharders. Hope your foot feels better, Slowswift.
  17. I haven't seen it. I'm not sure if I will, because it's not the book. It's like if they ever make a movie out of a Sanderson work. I'm not sure if I'd be able to watch.
  18. I am Midnight Essence! Fear me!

      Kinda hard to do that when you're so awesome. :)

      Not sure whether I should be flattered or insulted at my inability to cow the masses.

      I'll go for flattered. :)

  19. Has anyone seen Takin' Over the Asylum? It's fabulous. And it includes David Tennant playing a bipolar asylum patient. Just. Yes.
  20. This is the best thing I've ever seen. I don't think I'm here in time to sign up (or that I have the skills to pull this off) but I have a request building on what others have said. I want to see Ten arrested for impersonating a lighteyes. It would be storming awesome. I don't know why, it just would.
  21. ...thank you. Very much.
  22. ...okay then. Back to browsing NASA's webpage for new stuff on the ISS...
  23. I did look at the list. It didn't help. THERE'S TOO MANY AWESOME PEOPLE TO DECIDE
  24. May I take a moment to appreciate the fact that some people still call Americans Yanks? I think it's kinda funny. Yankees refers to either a baseball team or New England. Let the word be spread. Edit: And now Wikipedia tells me Yankee Doodle is the state song of Connecticut and is often sung patriotically. How. The man sticks a feather in his hat and calls it macaroni.
