the best way to be....
« on: May 05, 2014, 09:59:24 PM »
...is to be yourself


Unless you're a perve.

That said, what do you like about who you are or what you know?
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

What about them? How many languages can you speak (or read)? Or is it that you have impeccable grammer? Have you ever translated or interpreted documents?

I speak Finnish, Swedish, English, German and Spanish and understand or read another few reasonably well. My German is a bit rusty and the Spanish could be better but I'm actively working on improving it.

My grammar, regardless of language, is for others to comment on but I do think I can hold my own. I can learn new languages with relative ease.

I've worked as a translator, so yes.

And I'm still in the business of semantics and structured information

Interesting. If you ever find yourself a spanish linguistics class, I highly recommend it. I took one at a uni in Perú and found it fascinating and enjoyable. Also if you want to practice writing in spanish, I would not mind practicing with you in a thread. Mine is rusty, but it would be nice to catch up on it.

The problem with doing that here is that I tend to categorise things and I2 just isn't for Spanish.

I'd love a Spanish linguistics class but I doubt I'll ever actually do it.

I simply, complexly, completely and totally love, love, love, love growing older.  Sure it has disadvantages, but then so does any age.

I like that I am clever and witty, I'm not bad looking, and I'm not fat or deformed in any way. All in all, I am smart, pretty, gifted, good looking, I have nice hair, nice clothes, a welcoming attitude, a warm inclusive demeanor when forced to be in public, I am diplomatic instead of confrontational
I have a nice smile
My hands are nice
My teeth are strong
My immune system is effective
My penis is nicely shaped, unlike a lot of penises I remember being puzzled at back in school showers - some people have L-shaped dicks and stuff. I can only imagine the suffering and devastated confidence such would cause.
I have adequate nipples, not too puffy, not too flat
My beard growth is limited, but it gives me a scoundrely look, that I find directly pleasurable.

All in all, I am fantastic.

  Adequate nipples are very important.  So is your sense of humor that makes people smile at your posts.  :green:

I am good, bad and indifferent all in one. I like me.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

The best way to be? classically autie, of course. In fact its not just the best way to be, its the ONLY way to be IMO.


I like the way I just have a natural aptitude for the sciences. Biological and chemistry, botany and mycology, neuroscience in particular. My nuclear physics is a bit rusty, but thats why I want to build some particle accelerators. So I can actively explore that side of things, rather than read things in a book, I learn better by doing, and observing. I'd like to follow in the footsteps of the early and the great scientists of the time, at the time when they had to build their own equipment from scratch, and retrace their footsteps, discover the world of particle physics for myself, do some isotope transmutation via neutron capture, sucessfully start both a fission and a fusion reaction, build a gamma ray spectrophotometer, that sort of thing.


I like the fact that I have a pretty thick skin when it comes to ignoring verbal garbage thrown my way. I am seriously difficult to actually insult that way. Generally I will only respond if the honor of a loved one is insulted, like, for instance, if someone were to insult my stalker in my physical presence, chances are they would end up with both their arms broken.

And of course, 'lfa'/kanners girls can be sooo fucking gorgeous, and every time I have dated such a girl, I've found that the person I was with has been really sweet, kind hearted, not at all prone to fucking around with mindgames, and to treat me like an equal, giving the love that they are given in return.

Not to mention; echolalia is cute, spinning/flapping/rocking both of course not bothering them, and doing it themselves, I just find it kinda sexy really:)

I like being able to fix things...and I like the fact that I find life so interesting that boredom is never a factor for me.

I like my hair, although every woman I know is always telling me to cut it since I am older now. No...not happening.

Interesting. Do you find you develop a different perspective on life as you age? Or what do you like about being older?
