eak. not to mention, having 2 geeks in a relationship isn't always great.. I always found myself fighting either for computer time or the attention of the sig. other who was on the computer. And this wasn't me just being some stupid female and overreacting because my bf wasn't paying enough attention to me.. it seriously becomes a problem. Perhaps.. two geeks can be too much alike
So.. this is the subject, eh? Well, i must admit that i have a bit of insight on this.. When i was 15 i met my.. 18 year old internet boyfriend. And no.. this wasn't just some guy i was 'dating' over the web. We had been 'going out' for.. 2 years prior to meeting. This happened very oddly in that he flew here, to missouri, all the way from Sydney, Australia. He spent 2 weeks here, which were 2 of the happiest weeks of my life. Then he left. Just like that.. and things were NEVER the same. He became insanely jelouse and manipulative, reading my email, pretending to be me, breaking into my computer (which wasn't had since he was better at linux than i was at the time)... anyway. So there's two sides. It was great while it lasted, but it was almost unbearable when we couldn't be together. the ending? Well.. im 16 now. A year wiser maybe, maybe a few years wiser. Heh. It came to the point where i had to terminate all contact with him, to at least save part of our sanity. its been over 5 months since *I* last had contact, dispite the fact he contacts me every day.. So where am i? Miserable? Not quite.. Would i do it again, in a heartbeat. but perhaps i would be more cautcious about how i regarded the online aspect...
First of all, im not saying evolution is wrong. Personally, i believe very strongly in Evolution. I think its rather ignorant not to at least understand it and allow that side to be taught. But then i also think its ignorant the way everyone here is disrespecting the way others think/feel. I think the people who passed this law took a totally wrong approach. Instead of banning the teaching of evolution, they should have tried to at enter 'their way' and i don't mean teach it. Gosh, what is there to teach? God created it. The end. Im saying, at least mention it. Mention the other ways other religions explain this. Banning it isn't going to make it go away, and isn't going to teach the children any better. Its just going to piss off children because their school screwed them over and didn't teach them squat about life.... Anyway, thats my opinion.

Okay.. this really stinks because this guy ROCKS. I just did a really long research paper on him, and he really deserves a statue. I really hope there is more interest in the statue, even though i doubt there will be. He was really smart and had a lot of potential but it got cut short by hatred... anyway, My two cents. I wish i could help...
I must say i saw Pi in the theatre and i LOVED it. I absolutely adore the movie. I wish i could have seen it a couple more times but time constraints didn't allow it. im definatly buying it and would highly recommend it to anyone else!!!
Pi should have been mentioned more. I found it fascinating. I think it has to be either number 1 or really really close on my list of favorite movies. Excellent choice.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is definatly awsome. Not only is it brilliantly drawn but it has a thick plot and incredible psychological themes. I love it to death!!!!
