I used to love math but then I started to hate it when I started failing horribly. I'd always make really dumb mistakes like overlooking one step and borking the entire equation. For some reason even when I know better I always screw these things up, it's frustrating.

Vector, if you wrote a novel I'm sure that 80% of the people on the lower forums would buy it.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

XDD

Well, I kind of need to graduate first, so that I can keep getting the experiences I'd be writing about.  I have some other writing work I'm going to use to stick my toe in before I do that one, because it's a big one, and those others--though important--are not going to be quite as critical in terms of being things that must absolutely be said.

But thank you for the vote of confidence!

Laptop is being sent in to get the monitor looked at so I'm temporarily on this old computer that served me faithfully for many years before.... Oh gods its so backwards now D: I'm spoiled by the newer laptop, even the sound is worse on this. Windows 7 is sooo much better then XP

Oh gods the original version of my avatar is on here D:

Odd that the subject of novels got brought up because I have added yet another novel to the ones in my head. This one's about Machiavellian politics in a fantasy city.

Of course I still have the issue of my complete inability to write...
I think my biggest problem right now is with characters, or more accurately characterization. I have a lot of issues depicting characters.

My mother is nuts, this is "normal" in the sense that I'm used to it. She is now comparing Obama to Hitler, while calling him the N word, and she's serious. She watched some documentary about stolen Nazi art and apparently, "it's obvious." ??? This is the same woman who told her boss to "fuck off" at his own wedding reception and was astonished she got luckily transferred to a different company branch (as opposed to ... I dunno... fired?). I couldn't make this shit up if I tried. Your kid is a lawyer but clearly less informed than you, because he doesn't buy into your crackpot theories, like Obama secretly stealing works of art like Hitler....

My mother has mastered the art of saying anything with a straight face while avoiding a straight jacket....

(Also the wine she habitually drinks too much of is solid god damn lead; she offered me some. I managed to pour most of it down the sink when she wasn't paying attention. I regret drinking the portion I didn't. Keep in mind that I used to drink too much as a coping mechanism....)

Cor blimey, she sounds like a right loony! No offense.

Obama isn't perfect of course, but neither is he Hitler. D:
At least you've got a President who is actually decent- we have Prime Minister Julia Gillard the Bogan, who lives with a hairdresser, refuses to get married or have kids, and doesn't seem to understand what a curtsey is (when the Queen visited) - she just sort of wobbled her head.

Horrid voice, not to mention this piece of hypocritical behaviour:



Makes me rage. (I grew up in a new migrant neighbourhood, and my family have lived here since the late 50s, so we understand what it was like to be picked on for being 'different'.)

Why does she have to get married or have kids to be a good Prime Minister?

A married prime minister with children better understands how to operate the sectors of government involving families, children, and education.
Er, how? Unless the PM drafts things like portions of the tax code related to families raising children or something where she could go, "Oh, my experience tells me that parents probably need at least X much to do well.", I don't see it.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

If anything, it should make them better off when making policy decisions about those things, as they must rely more on the evidence and less on personal anecdote.

There are entire movements in Washington, D.C. itself that get off on the Obama/Hitler retarded comparison. They camp out on corners around just about every building on Capitol Hill. Each group has at least one huge sign of Obama with a Hitler mustache. When confronted on how they are wrong they fly into a frenzy of stupid shit almost like throwing a handful of stones at a bunch of humans with pigeon brains.

Why are polls on these forums so hard to figure out? Why can't you unlock voting? Is that possible? AAAA TOO MANY QUESTIONS
