The Nonsense of Emotions
Posted Jan 6, 2003
It is said among the masses that high schoolers, once graduated, tend to abandon most or all of what happened there to the mental archive known as "the past". This I had expected of my many friends who graduated a year before me, and with only one exception, I was proven right.
The exception, however, proved to be quite... well, *interesting*, to say the least...
A year ago I had a crush on a guy. ('Yawn', you answer, 'I've heard THIS before.' Not so.) He has a lot in common with me, as I realized from early on, for everything from a basic sense of taste to a sense of humor. And he happens to be quite attractive. But silly me, I get carried away and admit this to him. Turns out he had a crush on someone else, so he wanted to keep things as a friendship. As the year went on, though, we became better and better friends, and when the end of the year came, I was very disheartened to think that I'd probably never see him, or even hear from him again.
A few emails here and there felt very empty; his mode of conversation is very subtle, and the tone of his voice really means as much as the words do. Then came this past holiday, when he came back to town, and he tried to get in contact with me--though through the internet, which is virtually nonexistant for me on holidays. I *did* get to it in time to get his phone number, but alas, he had gone back to college.
Then he called. At the end of a two-hour conversation, he explained why he had really called: a) He had long since realized that whatever crush he had was completely wrong for him, b) he regretted ever saying "let's just be friends", and c) he wants to get to know me better, and have a meaningful relationship if at all possible. (And trust me, it wasn't that consise, but you get the point. 
I'm not quite sure what to think. I feel that he's right for me... but I hadn't even expected to have to consider this again. So I'm taking a good long think, listening to advice from friends, and... hoping that this all works out, despite my pesky little doubts.
Of course, feel free to chalk this off as teenage nonsense, if you like.

A Theory on Time
Posted Oct 24, 2002
Theory: Time on the Internet moves in a way completely irrelevant to any consistent system of time. In most instances, time moves at a speed much faster than reality; i.e., you can get about a month's worth of conversations done in an hour. Sometimes the time moves even faster, and sometimes a place will be considered "dead", i.e., completely devoid of life for some prolonged period of real time, which will feel like forever, and encourages migration from one gathering place to another. There is no formula to define how these unequal cycles of fast-pace, very-fast-pace, and completely dead conversation works.

An old hitchhiker done good...
Posted Sep 18, 2002
Last weekend, I had the most wonderful time at *dramatic chord* Colonel Sellers's wedding. Yes, the infamous hitchhiking, iconoclast Atheist himself, whom many long-time researchers may remember fondly from his numerous articles, or with a not-so-fond flickering of memory from his... er... debates is putting it to mildly, but that's all I can think of at the moment. And the person who led me to h2g2 and inspired my first persona, Corrupt... he is an older, and my very favorite, cousin of mine.
I'm getting off topic. Where was I? Oh yes, my favorite cousin's wedding... Anything in my family is chaotic. It's not a family event if *nothing* decides to go wrong. The decorating got done at the last minute (and almost not at all), but turned out really really great. The ceremony was short and sweet, but when it came to the party, it was one of those "all nighters". And for good reason. Karaoke, a usual fixture at our family's gatherings, kept things interesting (though not always musically inclined); the music kept everyone on their feet dancing, especially during the traditional "dollar dance", where people line up to dance with the bride or groom and give 'em a dollar or two... the Colonel, in his usual way, said to me when we danced, "I just hope you find a guy like me someday," with an evil smirk. Although he was quite a chicken when it came to the bride and groom feeding each other cake; they didn't get a bit of it ON each other! (Where's the fun in that?)
But all in all, a wonderful night. Congratulations once again, Colonel Sellers, and may your marriage be long and happy... and if you read this or any replies that it might generate, please don't kill me.

From the twisted mind of Kudos's researcher counterpart
Posted Sep 10, 2000
Hello there. I'm the researcher behind this evil, twisted alien.
First off, my apologies for whatever this disturbed creature does. He just can't help it.
Secondly, the idea for Kudos came from a story I'm writing. He's simply a misunderstood alien from a far-off planet, who came here to try to find some fun. So he tries to take over the Earth, and his rampaging in h2g2's forums is used to try to come up with some inspiration for what he does during that time. Don't worry, he'll get over his power trip...eventually.
Watch this spot for more ranting from myself or Kudos. We now return to Kudos's evil taking-over-the-world bit. Thank you.
