Stoic.

When I was active, I used to read them all the time. And I can remember vehemently protesting against the five thousand post prerequisite one had to meet before actually getting to have a blog. Nowadays I pretty much ignore them, though sometimes I catch myself Googling particular members' blogs...

On Liberty And Other Essays by John Stuart Mill and the works of Aristotle as well. Sort of burned out on all the fiction I've been reading lately so I've delved into my backlog of philosophical treatises.

Never seriously contemplated running away from home because I'm a pragmatist who's been indoctrinated into the cult of the Importance of Financial Security, but lately I have been considering emigration in a few years, after I finish college. I could see myself moving to one of the Scandinavian...

I suppose I have many reasons for writing, some more virtuous than others. On a grand scale, the idea of writing the twenty-first century response to Ulysses or Gravity's Rainbow, or somehow managing to figuratively spearhead whatever movement follows post-modernism, to positively contribute to...

I feel like I was once a part of this community, though I suspect I will never truly reach that level of integration again. Towards the end it started becoming an addiction or a dependence and I figured it would be best to move on. But I check in every now and again, it's always sort of...

I'm a lurker on nearly every website I visit these days, simply because I never really have the time to contribute my own opinions to matters at hand. Every so often (right now, for example), I do find myself reminiscing about the old times and I end up going on a weird sporadic posting spree...

That's incredible! I've been working on an anthology of short stories over the last few months - if I could have written that many words in a single night, I'd have finished the first draft in about two weeks.

I share this sentiment. There's a lot more things in life to worry about than double posting on a Pokemon forum.

I am pretty dependent on my iPhone these days. Every time I hear about a friend losing his on a night out, a little part of me dies.
