1- Look at it.
2- Think: "Geez... Again?!?!"
3- Go back to what I was doing before that araucaria angustifolia had fallen in my backyard. Specifically on my dog, that was trying to catch a bird, that was probably thinking: "Man, a tree would be REALLY useful now..."

Well, I would go "... Holy damn!" and then maybe climb around on it, after assuring myself more trees were not following.

Question: If a tree lands – as from flying, in your garden, without anyone else around – does it make a sound, or are you just hallucinating it?
On a totally different subject, did anyone know that an adult male polar bear cannot, in fact, bite through the skin of a walrus? That kind of suprised me.

I read a pretend African fairytale recently! It was sad.

Really? Why was it sad? Did everyone die of plague in the end? 'Cause I read an African story like that once, only it was true.

No, no. This queen was in love with a more-powerful-than-a-god but she knew only bad things could come of it. So she killed herself. After she died, the not-god asked her to be his again and again, and the last time he asked he said if she refused again he would condemn her to eternal suffering.
I think you know the ending. You're a Sandman fan, right?

Yes, yes I am.  This is indeed a sad fairy tale... Poor girl.... (Nada? Nadia? Something like that, right?) And poor Morpheus! "Love makes us do the wacky", to quote Willow. |

Which endless would you like to be, and which do you actually resemble? I'd probably be Death/Delirium here (in spite of being male).

Post by Yin on Mar 17, 2007 1:23:22 GMT
Delirium/Desire. Or maybe Destiny/Death.
I act like Despair too much sometimes, though (I don't cut myself, at least).

Lessee...Want to be? Death. Seriously, her job would be so INTERESTING! Or Delirium. Again...
But resemble? Prolly Delirium, or the few pictures I've seen of her as Delight, looks-wise. Personality wise...sometimes Death, sometimes Dream... heck, we all have our despair/delirium/destruction moments, not to mention desire. But overall, Death with a dash of Dream.

Finally, tell us a little about yourself: Uh. Um. Well, I'm a nerd...happily enough. I like to write a lot, and to read, and to make stuff out of glass and metal, preferably by applying great amounts of heat to them. So yeah. Good times. Owl, do you have a website for your artwork? |

Post by owl on Jun 13, 2007 17:13:31 GMT
No.... I could, though! I've a webspace I'm not usng for anything...perhaps I should do that! Why?  |

Post by mrw on Jun 13, 2007 20:24:19 GMT
Because I have a weakness for (among other things):
A) Glass
B) Metal
C) FIre
not necessarily in that order. ;D
I am curious what you create when you combine the aforementioned ingredients.

Haha, me too! Awesome! *high fives!* ;D Mostly ornamental things...abstract, or clockwork-y, or jewelry-ish. You know, that sort of thing. And most of it is not very good....I'm teaching myself, so what I have that is finished is basically a lot of happy accidents. (Plus, at the moment, the person that lent me their glass-torch for more than a year has now taken it back, so am without a tool... ) |

I feel just like Annie when Kat started talking about Prodigy albums. Huh wha...?! Would some kind person please explain what the monkey you folks are talking about please...maybe I could join in! Contribute! Add my own ideas! Or...something. Yes. /me goes back in her box |

We were talking about the Endless, from Neil Gaiman's Sandman. They're, um....siblings who are also the anthropomorphic personifications (did I actually spell that right? O.o ) of concepts: Destiny, Death, Dream, Despair, Desire, Destruction and Delirium. Delirium used to be Delight, but then she kinda got...insane. Now she makes butterflies fly out of the windows in her head and such.

You have to read it. You *must*! Neil Gaiman's awesome! (Plus he mentioned GC on his blog! Awesome!)

I agree with the above post entirely. Also, my avatar is Dream, currently, though when I first joined it was Death (with Boxbot in between, of course  ). |

Owl, what is Dream doing in your avatar pic? Kind of looks like getting slapped, but...

Post by owl on Jun 15, 2007 19:59:59 GMT
I'm pretty sure he's just thinking. I know that's his own hand...and I doubt he's slapping himself...though no one else (except possibly Death) would dare....so if he needs to be slapped, he's the one to do it, heh. ;D
There's wind (he's on some crazy planet...ice-ish, or maybe one of the deam-realms...), so that accounts for the hair...and he's looking at someone, so that's the head angle.

In the full panel he's holding out his thumb, like an artist. He's remaking the Corinthian.
