I'm constantly quoting King of the Hill and The Blue Collar Comedy Tour.

I have shirts that say

Mathematical puns are the first sine of madness...

Probably the fact that I read the dictionary and I enjoy it.

I've been watching Star trek pretty hard lately...

Nobody I know ever knows what I'm talking about because any time someone says something to me I respond with a quote from a game/movie/tv show/book

Well I know your Avatar is Anima (I'm currently in the process of maxing my ffx stats) feel free to post any ff quotes! I pretty much live that $#%^.

Advent children: Sepheroth: Tell me what you cherish most. Give me the pleasure of taking it away.

and: Sepheroth: I've thought of a wonderful present for you... Shall I give you despair?

If you're not an Elder Scrolls fan, you won't "get" much of the linked information, but I hope you appreciate my post anyway.

Since today (Sept. 1 in my time zone) is Michael Kirkbride's birthday, I thought I'd loosen up a little more and tell you about my first (last, and only, as far as I know) path-crush, in the early Zeroes, MK's own Vivec the Poet from The Elder Scrolls series.

Though I didn't think of it at the time, I may have been mentally preparing for my real future when I created a dialog between my my main character and her advisor about her impending alliance with Vivec, which was held back by mutual distrust. I don't remember all the words (it's been a long time since I've played an Elder Scrolls game), but what the advisor said was, essentially, "You can't expect him to open up to you unless you can honestly say it's safe for him to tell you anything, even the worst." That's a difficult thing to say honestly.


It was interesting for me to remember that Vivec, who claimed to be The Thief of the world wore gold body paint and wielded a magic spear called Milk Taker. (If you're sensitive to violent or sexual themes, you probably don't want to know.) The German word for "butterfly" is "milchdieb," which means "milk thief."

I own well over 400 books yet can't seem to read any of them other than 7 repeatedly (Harry Potter series )
