Well happy birthday, Quille!

Self-Paradoxical

Thanks Hehe all over now...

You had a birthday while I was away? Yay! Jubilations! Whooo! and happiness! Even if it is a bit late....later better than never.

~Wes

yes..where were you Ex? florida or not? your nick is very confusing.. thank you !!
Got any advances on the Triumvirate space Self-Paradoxical?

I was in California. San Francisco general area to be exact. Lots o' fun.

oo pete lives near there..San Francisco is wonderful! What'd you go for? Jsut vacation? Btw what happens on August 12th? *shudders* that's when school starts..
of questions.

Yup, I even drove through San Jose. I even saw a girl that looked like her (Peter the Girl's) picture, but not in California, in Idaho. Oh well.

On August 12, around 6:30 PM, conveniently close to when I get off work, Leeta comes home from Colorado! Unless her plane is delayed 12 hours like it was last time....not so fun when that happens.

s and s,
~Wes

ooo wow! hmm what's her picture like have only seen yours?-nice cat btw.
OOO Woah! *cheers* She comes home! Hope that her plane is on time, if not early.. How long has she been away?

Cymbeline's pictures are here: http://return.to/rainyjaney

She's been away since the middle of June...the day after we became a pair. Hmmm. In about fifty-one hours I should be getting a call from her...can you tell I'm excited?

nice pic

sounds a bit like a bummer..counting down the hours to a phone call..yes you MUST really be excited
Enjoy your time with her..(she's staying awhile right?)

Heh...there's nothing wrong with couting the hours until a phone call. (It's down to 46 hours now, by the way.)

Yup, she'll be staying a while, until next summer I believe. Except for the odd vacation here and there.

No updates as of yet on the Triumvirate front, I had to go away to pennsylvania for a while with my family. Quite relaxing, but no computers I'll be back to working on it tomorrow.

By the way, thanks for the reference to my Men In Black quote on FFFF!

"By the way, thanks for the reference to my Men In Black quote on FFFF!"

Sure! I knew you had posted it earlier in the thread, but it seemed appropriate to write it again.

where in PA Self-Paradoxical? I used to live there..

WOOHOO Ex! Spend all your time with her! (well maybe not ALL but alot..)

in school

Way up in the north near New York. Near to Montrose. My family owns a place up there that we go to on weekends and stuff.

coolio..I used to live in Meadville not like you'd know where that is..it's about 20 miles south of Erie though..Sounds like a dandy place
*looks longingly at the pennsylvanian pictures*

Thought I'd resurrect this old dead thread....

How're everybody's searches for reality and underlying truth going along? Fine? Not so much for me....this week we started discussing it in my science fiction class (after reading Phillip K. Dick's "The Electric Ant") and I realized it's sort of pointless to do so--seeing as we'll most likely never know the answer, and any theory proposed gains no real hold over any other.

So that sort of turned me off philosophy for a little while... Oh well. Hope everyone else is faring better.

s and s,
~Wes

YEAH! We've been given life again
OoO you have a sci-fi class? *green with jealousy* Yes I do agree with you. I haven't exactly had searching time. The closest thing I've gotten to those searches are reading some books about Democracy being against religion and God, as in man in the Last Battle trying to control the Kingdom of God stuff. Also we've had some controversial discussions in art class (like about death sentences, Hitler, imagination vs. knowledge [yes- Einstein})But no real philosophy. It's better than literary analyzation though!
You mustn't be turned off so quickly. I'll discuss philosophy with ya if you want (other than in FFFF which I will try to get back in), though I'm a bit rusty
The fun of philosophy is that you can't be wrong.

Yes, the science fiction class is *supposed* to be a SF/F class, split at the quarter break (it's a semester class), but since the teacher bought new textbooks that contain only science fiction....we've read some pretty weird stories. The Electric being one of them...

Have you read Sophie's World? I think I need to re-read it before I start thinking about philosophy again...although I realized when I looked back at it that it only contains Western philosophy--there's no mention at all of any Eastern phligs.

One can't lose at philosophy, but neither can one win! I don't mean winning in the sense of beating other people, but in actually gaining significant amounts of headway into understanding the universe. One can come up with a theory that's totally bizarre (Plato's "pure forms" or original forms or whatever he called them) and there's no way to argue it because it *makes sense*. But there are a million other theories that make just as much sense....

s and s,
~Wes

Well it sounds wonderful! What exactly was the Electric about then?
I started reading it, but ran out of time. IT started to get a bit...juvenile. The book would be better with more upscale writing, but then again I think it would make sense if it got like that in the end as Sophie got more educated in Philosophy. I really have no time though! I'll just ask my school mates bout Eastern phligs..they practice them.
That's what makes it fun. You can create your own belief system and make it so by arguing all the different logical points and curing faluts. Then, you can alter it continuosly to fit your needs. They're aren't defined laws.
