Sophius

That opinion show just how ignorant you are about them. I am afflicted with extremely severe OCD and Anxiety, and if it weren't for my Psychaiatrist/Psychologist, I would still be a miserable wreck that screams and has a panic attack every time someone looks at me in a certain way. And I would still have to wash my hands fourty-five times whenever it was time to take a shower.(that is not an exageration) As for the issue at hand, I had the same problem. Every time my parents would get upset with me, or if I was having a particularly bad episode in school, I would beat myself in the head, choke myself, and scratch myself until I began to profusely bleed. It is probably a good idea to see a psychologist(note: not a psychaiatrist, a psychologist) and explain to him what is going on. Assuming he knows what he is talking about, he''l probably give some symptom checks. On the note finding a decent psychologist, if you don't like the look of the one you go to, don't stick with them. Find someone else. Alternatively, you could look up different illnesses online, though you have to be careful of grad school syndrome if you do. Were I to take a guess, I'd say that you have either anxiety or depression. In both cases you should seek treatment immediantly, lest depression leads to suicide or anxiety leads to psychosis. Another thing to note is that medication should be used as a last resort. Some medications(like seryquill) really screw you up, and many leave unable to access certain resources(as an example, the risperdol that I was on caused me to have a serious writers block). I truly hope that it turns out merely to be stress, and hope for success in any treatment you might pursue.

I partly agree. The reason I enjoy Stephen King so much is that he uses the "every man" for the characters in his books, and deeply develops them before quickening the pace of the plot. The "chosen one" theme for books has never really appealed to me.

I just started Majora's Mask and I am finding that the time limit is rather unnerving. How can they expect you to do much in that ammount of time, not to mention you lose everything if you play the song of time. What is the point of collecting items then? An how can they fit anything substantial or meaningful into the meager time frame that is given? The dungeons can hardly be that big, and exploration of fields would be hectic as opposed to exciting.

This is the way I talk. I'm not trying to "wierdly inflate my intelligence" in any way. Damn it I'm tired of being persecuted for the manner in which I speek.

Essau, if you don't mind, would you please leave me alone. Both of your attacks happen to be quite false, and it would be much appreciated if you comment on my intended message than you just posting to insult me. I have to deal with this crap too much in life for me to have to stand on forums too.

Currently, I've read: Stephen King Shirly Jackson Bram Stoker H.P.Lovecraft Can anyone suggest a horror author who is half way decent? (Just so everyone knows, I don't really like the look of Dean Koontz)

I enjoy chess, but my honest preferance is go. I'm fairly good I suppose, though by no means am I a veteran.

I honestly belive that Twilight is just a silly and stupid( ahem, poorly written) piece of writing tragetted toward a silly and oftentimes stupid fanbase. That being, horomone crazed teenagers. It, as I mentioned before, is poorly written, somewhat slutty, redundant, it depicts both humans and vampires in a sickening way, and finally, models an obsessive relationship to an already unstable audience. In other words, the books are mockery to writing. It is truly sad to have seen the concept of the vampire so twisted and utterly transmorgified throughout the recent years, and I fear the Twilight is merely yet another step in this dreaded process of corruption. Woe upon those who have defiled this great literary concept.

The subconcious mind records and stores any information that it runs across, so if we are to look at the human as a whole, nothing is forgotten. However, what your concious mind can access is an entirely different story. Not to mention that we're teenagers, meaning that the procees of growth further inhibits ones concious memory.

Another good horror book is Salem's lot, especially if you like vampires. It posseses aneExcellent plot, and was one of the few, "horror" books that actually disturbed me. My personal favorite would be It though, that is another really good one. I can't believe I forgot historical! I'll add that right away.

Hopefully I am not missing any, however I have a feeling that I might. Please inform me if this is so. I have voted for horror. Likely one of least popular ones on the forum(though hopefully more popular than romance). EDIT. thank you Narga.

No one is paying any attention to this, so I see no more point in keeping this posted.

Could you provide examples? I acknowledge that what I refer to are exceptions.However, these exceptions are too many and too deadly to be reliably identified by taste. I'm not talking about voodoo(which native americans don't even practice) but an actual survival skill that humans and other animals have the potential to access. If you need a reference, look at the book Tom Brown's Field Guid to Edible and Medicinal Wild Plants. If you would look, I'm not saying that you imbecile! What I'm trying to say is that humans are the only beings to truly command uninstictual pleasure from taste. Excuse me? If my manner of speech preturbs you, I honestly don't give a shit. The fact that the possibility that one might possess such a vocabulary is disincluded from you conception makes apparent the level at which your intelligence stands! I'm talking about their cultural teachings, not the charicatures mdern society has twisted them into. WhenI say touching, I mean coming into contact with or expieriencing. Stop being such an insufferable nitpick. Both of you in fact.

If "perfect" is an inept word to describe our ecosystem, then so is "sustainable." Sustainable implies that a sentient care taker is responsible for upholding the ecosytem. The only race we know capable of doing such a thing is currently raping the earth, not sustaining it. What I mean is that it is amazing that the conditions which would allow earth to sustain life and that the conditions that would create such a complex system should also be fulfilled. Yes , but the qualities which define the edibility of food are not exculsive to taste. Taste is both a minor and inconsistent means of identification. In other words, it is not nessesary and provides no significant benefits other than pleasure. Also, there are plenty of sweet berries on can eat that would nescesetate a stomach pumping. Meaning, there are enough flaws to make taste identification frequently unyielding. Again, there is no quality in food that is identified soley by taste. This instinct is not "magical" as you so woefully misconcieve. All animals instinctively know what is good for them merely by touching them. In other words, the various subconcious avenues of perception infor the animal as to the objects edibility. Teaching humans to get in touch with this instinct is important in native american teachings. And we all know that the native americans are experts at wilderness survvival. You know what I mean.
