I find listening to music (especially new music I haven't heard before) gets me lots of inspiration for writing.

[Euld]

Argle bargle. Can't sleep. Damn you sleep schedule for being so messed up.

I find that listening to Enya on youtube helps me sleep

[Kedly]

Man Enya is amazing. Listening to Enya kind of puts me in a trance lie state xD

[scriver]

Man, that Socrates. What a douchebag.

[Frumple]

Was a bit of of an arse at times, yeah. Gadfly of Athens, etc.

Have to hand it to the fellow, though. Higher quality of douchebag than most, and when the chips came down, he handled it with more aplomb than most would. And he had a few zingers in there. According to Plato, anyway

[scriver]

If you can call a fascist, aristo-elitist, stubborn old geezer "high quality", then sure

[Frumple]

Hey, compared to most douchebags? He's a cut of finer cloth

Least he had a bit of skill at wordplay, heh.

O.o I miss a trip back in time or something? That in itself makes me sad D=

Let's take a trip! To the Roman Greek empire! Haha, just kidding! There was no Greek empire, just a loose collection of city-states that sometimes decided to band together to fight off bigger nations. Now the Hellenistic Empire, under Alexander the Great... That shit right there was the closest to a Greek Empire we ever had. And boy was it long lasting big.

Wow, that entire last sentence is easily misconstrued.

[scriver]

Well. Apart from how there's really no particular difference to make between "Hellenic" and "Greek", you're right. That's why Greece still calls itself "Hellenica" (or you now, something to do with Hellen roughly like that, I can't remember exactly).

[MonkeyHead]

Hellas?

[scriver]

...Sounds familiar

[RedKing]

Hellas != "Magna Graecia", depending on POV. Most of the people of Attica and the Peloponnese didn't consider Macedon as being "Greek", partly because they didn't follow the polis city-state political system but rather the more traditional kingship model. By that logic, the far-flung colonies in Asia Minor were more Greek than Alexander.

[Descan]

I still wish the Byzantine empire had survived...

Anyway, I'm sad because I'm trying out new meds and I don't like how they're affecting me. But I think I need them to finish high school and get into University...

[Dutchling]

Forced social interactions with stupid intellectually challenged people make me sad.
