hi there!
the deadline for the Mental Disorders Contest is going to be January 18.
If you have a problem with the deadline please let me know (:

Hi! I was wondering if you could read my story love is a battlefield and give me some feedback? I'd be happpppy to do the same for you! thanks!! :)

have a good day! heheh

Pandora's bias? What do you mean, exactly?

Haha, same here. I now have 87 more books on my list, including "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," "The Girl, The Stopwatch, And Everything," and the Eragon trilogy.

You know, I don't actively look for indie bands either. I often check out the obscure bands my friends are listening to, or listen to indie-based internet radio.

Speaking of which, do you listen to internet radio?

Cool. Maybe I'll read it, then. I'm also looking into "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley...have you read that, by any chance? I've heard it's one of the quintessential dystopian novels.

Haha, thanks. Yeah, I know what you mean...I do too, sometimes. Though I've found that there's actually a pretty large amount of good indie music out there if one looks hard enough. You might like Bipolaroid...they're very Syd-esque, to the point where they're arguably ripping him off, but it's still good music. Also, have you ever heard of Neutral Milk Hotel?

AAACK!

Absurdly late reply, I know. I just got back from a 3-week-long trip about a week ago, so that has something to do with it. XD

So, you've read "Down and Out in Paris and London"? What did you think of it? I'm thinking of reading it myself at some point.

You know, on the topic of The Man Who Sold The World, I once told my dad that I went through a phase where I couldn't stop listening to "All The Madmen." His reply? "That's...frightening..." XD. He was joking, but still.

"This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Rwanda Genocide;
please make a video (or copy and paste this to your profile) stating your name, age, and the country you live in and that you are lighting a candle of hope for Rwanda."
=)

Yeah, Diamond Dogs is cool. In fact, the song "1984" off of that album was one of the first Bowie songs that I liked. I couldn't go into a list of my favorite Bowie songs without filling up several pages, but I'm a really big fan of the albums Hunky Dory, Space Oddity, and The Man Who Sold The World.

You like 1984 too? No way! I went through a phase where I was utterly obsessed with it...yes, it's just so wonderful. It messed with my head. And the whole universe is just so well thought-out. George Orwell was brilliant.

I haven't read any other Orwell besides "Animal Farm," though "Down and Out in Paris and London" looks interesting. What have you read of Orwell?

That's cool. I didn't exactly grow up on '70s music, but my dad started corrupting me when I was around 10 and a few years later, classic rock was almost all I listened to. So, you've been a Syd fan for a pretty long time...I just discovered him last year. A good friend of mine introduced me to him.

Aww. I think I know what you mean.Some people have an aversion to listening to stuff that was made 30-40 years ago. Once, I introduced one of my friends to David Bowie (the song was "Running Gun Blues", which she liked because it's morbidly funny), and I've corrupted another good friend of mine into a couple bands (she already loves classic rock, though, so perhaps that doesn't count.)

So, you like David Bowie? What are your favorite songs?

*A belated reply to the comment you posted on my pro 2 weeks ago -facepalm-*

Aw, thanks. Glad to know that I'm cool! :D I think it makes perfect sense to describe Syd's mind as "intensified." A lot of artists have that affliction, I think. Like Van Gogh and Edgar Allan Poe.

So, just out of curiosity, how did you discover Syd? Did you like his work immediately, or did it take time to grow on you? And have you ever tried to "corrupt" someone else with Syd's work? Were you successful?

Man, this is why I love the "TEH INTERWEBZ!!elevenone."

i know. it's a little considering that he's dead and would be old if he were alive. but still, i say there is no harm in little naughty thoughts! we all know he wasn't quite the innocent man in his days!

lol i agree. John makes me think of all these little weird fanatsies.
oh John ...

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?!?!?! it's like O.O i just wanna do him in that picture. -blushes- oh Mr. Lennon ... you make me think naughty thoughts ^^
i'm good. tired as well.

omfg John Lennon! that bastard, i love him! tee hee i just got around to putting a picture of him on my profile if you want to steal that one too! so how are you?

LMFAO dude, i love getting random comments. they're awesome lol
so i see your a Beatle and John Lennon fan -screams and hugs- iloveyouiloveyouiloveyouiloveyou! >.> -ahem- sorry, i just get so excited when i find a genuine Beatle fan. and not to mention John Lennon. he's the love of my life. and Paul as well lol yeah i love those pictures too. feel free to steal any, though i bet you already did. hahaha

z0mg! catherine guess what...i no longer have writer's block as a thing above my avatar icon thing on forums!!!! i now have ameture author (or however you spell that.) it's because i made over 100 posts, so you were right.

Hi. You don't know me, but I stumbled across your profile and you seem cool. (BTW, I'm a Syd fan, too.)

So, what's up?

i wish you would have, you said good bye last night then signed off!!!!!!! so you just proved that you were wrong, you should have said good night considering that we are talking to each other right now, which means we cant say goodbye because goodbye means one of us is leaving and never coming back. WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN THANK FUH LEY wouldn't it be cool if your cat was actually retarded?i just thought of that and i would want a cat that is retarded. I BEAT TUBBA BLUBBA IN MARIO HAVE I TOLD YOU THAT??? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you are coming to my house and watching what's eating gilbert's grape hahah i mean what's eating gilbert grape. you have to so you can follow the laws of the movie such as good byes and good nights.
