WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

Eggbertx, the whole clowns and miracles thing from Homestuck is all a parody of ICP and its fans.

Ah, I should try reading that comic again, I didn't get very far because the beginning was boring, but I've met fans who will admit that they didn't like it until a little while in.

Homestuck starts out kinda boring for the first little while, and then gets really cool for a really long time, and then eventually gets impossible to comprehend. So I guess in that way, it's kind of like Lost? Except with Lost, people were trying to figure it out, whereas with Homestuck, I'm pretty sure everyone is just like "God dammit, I used to be able to understand what was happening in this comic."

It's not that the plot points are terribly obscure or that things are left as mysteries for the reader to wonder about. It's just that there is too much time travel. There are at least four different major timelines (Earth, post-apocalyptic Earth, Alternia, and now apparently Earth-B), each of which has the ability to communicate with people from at least one of the other timelines in a nonlinear manner. So the trolls from Alternia can talk to the kids from Earth, at any point in the Earth timeline, at will. And as the story goes on there's rarely any indication of when on any of the timelines anything is occuring. And the storytelling isn't done in a linear manner even within any given timeline - once the time travel is in full swing, the narrative just jumps back and forth to random events in no particular order, and gives no particular indication that it's doing so. Also, one of the characters can literally time travel, and there are like twenty copies of him bouncing around for a while.

So basically I have long since stopped keeping track, and just try to enjoy the characters and the coolness factor. Which is basically no different from how I enjoyed the second half of Problem Sleuth, except that in Problem Sleuth the confusion was mostly caused by space rather than time.

A gallon (slight exaggeration) of eye-drops and multiple pricey check-up visits later, and my left eye is worthless.

I can't stop thinking about how much further ahead I would have been if I'd gone with my first instinct. All I would have needed for that would have been a bottle of Jack Daniels, an icepick and an eye patch.

My vision changes throughout the day. Sometimes I can see okay (not great) at distance, other times seeing anything with it that is further then about a foot and a half is like looking through a camera with a two inch coating of vaseline on the lens. My doctor doesn't recommend me trying to get glassed made yet, since my vision is constantly changing. During my last eye exam, my vision changed three times. Apparently, my eye figured it was a multiple choice test and went with "D, all of the above."

they're making a remake? :O

the original neverending story was the shit, man.

Hollywood: the REAL neverending story

I just realized that for the first time in this almost-over semester, I'm writing an essay on a book, as opposed to a play or poem. EASIER CITATIONS GO

seriously, like five essays on not-books, the worst being Henry V where I'd have to cite lines (2670-2671, 2490) which is the ugliest citation ever

the original neverending story was the shit, man.

What do you mean yet again? I loved the movie as a kid

Well, yeah, the first movie wasn't so bad. Although I was very disappointed that it ended right before reaching my favorite part in the book...
But let's not forget the other two movies. (Yes, the were three) Those were atrocious! Hence my use of the word 'rape' =P

Being on this forum will probably be a great help in improving my English writing skills.

And in procrastinating writing the documentation for my Software Architectures uni project.

You know, I never really understood how drunk people manage to post on internet forums. When I'm drunk I'm usually either outside or just thinking about managing to get to some horizontal sufficiently soft surface to pass out on.
