Occupation: 11 months before I get out of college!

Future Aspirations: To sing, to write, and to travel A LOT.

Hobbies: reading, reading, and collecting cd's (I'm trying to diversify my interests)

I'm currently listening to YES, too.

What you can't stand: Racism, closed mindedness, and people who reduce you to an issue, label, or preference. I also hate backbiting people.
What you plain dislike: I hate traffic. And all the bombings and shootings. The "Us and Them" mentality.
Who you admire: BW. Seriously. My dad-one of the nicest guys I know. My brother--so talented. Josh Groban. and yes: Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou.
What you most love to do: Researching Celtic and other European legends, being a "mother figure" to people who need someone to talk to. And yeah: singing.
Your self-confessed flaws: Procrastination and the ten lbs that linger within me [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
What intrigues/fascinates you: Celtic legends and St. Patrick. Languages and the culture behind them.
What scares you: I have this wierd phobia on clouds. Long story that predates adolescence.

online? or IRL? (btw I'd be glad to play a game with you once in days to come [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Telchar · 10-28-2002, 04:59 AM

Both the World Championship and the World Cup are IRL tournaments held each year In Monte Carlo (World Championship) and Various places in the US (World Cup). Entryfees are about 1000 dollars each [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] And it is not very likely that I come by that kind of casual money for sparetime hobbies - unless of course I win qualifying tournaments and obtain the entry that way.
Sure HerenIstarion - we could play online some day - one difficulty is that backgammon as a leisure is played very different in southeastern Europe, the former Sovjet Republics and the middleeast. Are you accustomed to international rules in backgammon? and do you have any expirience using the doubling cube? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Cheers T

Quotation to live by: Well, I dont know if this is a "quatation", no, i I dont think it is, it's more of a long speech, but I love it. It's from Chrono Cross and it's very long:

"I've been waiting an eternity
just for this very moment...

Meaninglessly hurting one another...
The dissapearing life-forms...

The words that become deleted...
The thoughts that become buried...
The pool of cells that slowly evaporate...
The echos of conciousness that slowly fade...

Love to hate...
Hate to love...
Why are we born?
Why do we die?

Evolution?
The "survival of the fittest"?
What is there to be achieved from
hurting one another...
killing one another...

The "eggs" that we call planets...
And the innumerable "spermatozoa"
which gather around these
that we call life-forms

When one of those countless seeds
inseminates a planet
a new universe is born

But until that occurs,
hundreds of millions of years will pass,
and innumerable life-forms will be born,
then die...

This is the be-all and end-all
Everything exists for that one moment
All so that the universe can evolve
into the next dimension...

Does that make us all just pawns?
Are each of our short lives
nothing but a cheap sacrifice
just so the one chosen life-form
can be born?

No. That is not the case!
Eeach and every one of us
has a chance of becoming
that one chosen life-form
which inseminates a planet.
Yes, it could be "you"...

Genes and environment...
Each of us tries to do his best
under the limited conditions
we are each dealt.

Eeach life-form that attempts to
eke out a decent life for itself
forms a link in the golden chain
that leads to the creation of
a new universe.

If one link is missing,
there will be no future.

There is no such thing as
a useless life-form...
No such thing as
a pawn!

Every single thing
in the whole of nature
is perhaps just dreaming
a dream of "life"...

All of them are also
perhaps nothing more than
a dream dreamt by the planet
before it is born.

Oh, but yes...
Eventually all dreams
will return to Zurvan...
to the sea of dreams..."

Catfight!

Well, this "catfight" won't last long as my sister is not part of the forum (she's not an LOTR fan). When Faye made that comment, I couldn't help remembering hearing my sister fantasize last January about how she is going to marry Elijah. Each time she heard me mention someone who fantasized about him, she would ask, "Well, did you tell them that he is mine?" She even sent him a birthday card that month, decorated and everything! (And it's not like he's going to read it right away, and then hang it up on his wall.

)

Alright, I'm done rambling about my weird sister (who will probably kill me if she ever sees this post). Carry on.

Telchar Stonehearted Dwarf Smith Join Date: Apr 2001 Location: Copenhagen, Denmark Posts: 2,247	Both the World Championship and the World Cup are IRL tournaments held each year In Monte Carlo (World Championship) and Various places in the US (World Cup). Entryfees are about 1000 dollars each [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] And it is not very likely that I come by that kind of casual money for sparetime hobbies - unless of course I win qualifying tournaments and obtain the entry that way. Sure HerenIstarion - we could play online some day - one difficulty is that backgammon as a leisure is played very different in southeastern Europe, the former Sovjet Republics and the middleeast.

I love that. I really touched me. __________________ I am what I was, a harmless little devil

Goal in life: Just to stay as I am... the cool guy!! Short term goals: Keep being popular and to survive next week's exams [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] Passion: Umm... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] Hobbies: God, just everything. I act, I sing, I play instruments, I'm great at all kinds of sports like hochey, football, tennis, swimming, basket, baseball, volleyball (I just loooove this one), skiing, skating, snowboarding and I'm sure I'm forgeting many, I also draw, I know 4 languages right now, which is one of the coolest things, and just stuff like that. Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): Well, I must accept, at the beginning I was very famous because of my parents but later people actually started noticing me because I was, like, good at everything and just because I'm a really cool. Umm, I'm also very famous because of my parties, god, they're great!!! Fave book: The Silm!!!! My favourite book is the Silm, there's nothing else to be said.

It's from Chrono Cross and it's very long: "I've been waiting an eternity just for this very moment... Meaninglessly hurting one another... The dissapearing life-forms... The words that become deleted... The thoughts that become buried... The pool of cells that slowly evaporate... The echos of conciousness that slowly fade... Love to hate... Hate to love... Why are we born? Why do we die? Evolution? The "survival of the fittest"? What is there to be achieved from hurting one another... killing one another... The "eggs" that we call planets... And the innumerable "spermatozoa" which gather around these that we call life-forms When one of those countless seeds inseminates a planet a new universe is born But until that occurs, hundreds of millions of years will pass, and innumerable life-forms will be born, then die... This is the be-all and end-all Everything exists for that one moment All so that the universe can evolve into the next dimension... Does that make us all just pawns? Are each of our short lives nothing but a cheap sacrifice just so the one chosen life-form can be born? No. That is not the case! Eeach and every one of us has a chance of becoming that one chosen life-form which inseminates a planet. Yes, it could be "you"... Genes and environment... Each of us tries to do his best under the limited conditions we are each dealt. Eeach life-form that attempts to eke out a decent life for itself forms a link in the golden chain that leads to the creation of a new universe. If one link is missing, there will be no future. There is no such thing as a useless life-form... No such thing as a pawn! Every single thing in the whole of nature is perhaps just dreaming a dream of "life"... All of them are also perhaps nothing more than a dream dreamt by the planet before it is born. Oh, but yes... Eventually all dreams will return to Zurvan... to the sea of dreams..." Schala "Kid" Zeal Additional comments: Mooo! I'm a cow. My head hurts.
