Thanks for that: I'll either, on a whim, buy it (and see nothing, hear nothing when it comes to my credit card account) today or, well, who knows. Still procrastinating on a final paper that's due...when's it due (in a couple of days, Shem!)... yeah, in a couple of days. Just looking at it...

Was just playing HL:S the other day. Been thinking about buying Black Mesa, it's on sale now so I'm more tempted than ever.

Thanks much to you. A'course, only recently have there been multiple posts from which to quote.

are you me, mr. john? Christ, took the GRE Lit and the general just a few months ago but wasn't brave enough (because poor work ethic) to get LORs. I'm drunk too, almost a year out from your own post, and I just hope you're doing fine.

just trying to get my postcount up at this point. I'm in, and thanks for the welcoming.

And see, even now I'm still consciously coming out of the blank space that was before and understanding the development of the people here. When I was a little teenager here running amok I just assumed y'all/you all were, because of how old you were in comparison to me, at your peak in terms of...

22: was so young when I joined here that I couldn't post my birthday, for fear of ridicule. HL2's releasing would have made me 7, eek! Do I have those translations? I'll have to check. If footnoted then no. I've put off Crime and Punishment since high school (it was one of our options for the...

Adrik STILL looks like Dave Grohl to me

Can't imagine what it'd be like to be at your age. Are the bones creaking yet? Drinking wine and coffee just an hour and a half before midnight; about to finish up an application for an internship to nowhere/to somewhere, though, one never knows where. Think I'll read some of the Russians like...

Yeah I had originally forgotten my password so I tried to create a new account and it said something along the lines of "not accepting new registrations at this time."

Should be either sleeping or studying but at this point I've resigned myself to procrastination until Thanksgiving break because (my) uni is awful and it depresses me. I've been thinking of time and how I don't feel 22 and yet I am and it's as if reading all of your (i.e. the older members')...

Read this last fall. Definitely a 3/5; the prose is serviceable and quite good at times. Again, like you said, forgettable, but it became infinitely more interesting when we went over it in terms of orientalism/"New Woman" ideology. Never got the appeal of Whitman. "When Lilacs..." is rather...

Missed you too en-you-ee. My professor at college (who's German, old, very old, and obsessed with Heidegger) would like a word with you. I do find him intriguing but also I'll admit my experience of him is a skimming of the first hundred pages of Being and Time and his Stanford philosophy page.

Vaapukka, I feel the same way. It's like coming home to your father who, with the symbolic order of his phallus, had earlier reigned you in with law and order. The older members here are all, essentially, spiritual fathers to me, whom I'm still trying to impress with the knowledge I've gained in...

I agree with that: and I think, of course, that happiness is naturally individualized respective to each person. Some find it in books, others in video games, and still others in nature. I remember (and this is quite the nostalgic trip) my happiness was centered around visiting this site rather...

Also I've just realized this is the first thread I've made in eight years (one of my last threads, my good bloody God, garnered 300 replies).

LOL. I've just finished off the last remnants of a bottle of wine (Walmart-bought, so cheap ersatz shit) but I'm thinking of what Heidegger talks about in Being and Time insofar as none of the philosophers in the Western tradition EVER got to what BEING meant and so sort of skated around it like...

Hi THC: I know, language is rather wonderful, isn't it (to the extent that, really, it's all we have!). I only wish I had been old enough to have talked with you guys circa 2003/2004 but, I suppose, I do cherish having still a semblance of youth. Regardless, it's good to be back (whatever "back"...

How's it going?

O yeah and Ennui: the dude with the brain-neuron-synapses avatar who, many years later, made me look up what ennui actually meant (for, like, ten years I just associated that exact word with him without ever actually knowing what it signified [and even though I know it means exhaustion or...
