Calandale's turn in the spotlight

[Christopher McCandless]

Is there anyone you admire, and if so who and why?

Tons of people. For many different reasons.
Seeing you, makes Paul Erdos come to mind,
for the way that he was able to simply make
such connections out of nowhere.

There are a couple of people here, associated with
the school, whom I admire, for their ability to work
hard, and be brilliant at the same time.

A great many actors whom I admire, for their
skills on stage. Some musicians and writers, again
for the devotion to their art.

A lot of people. In fact, I think one can
find something to admire in almost anyone.

Hmm, Erdos was a funny one wasnt he. Do you have an Erdos number? If you were to pick one person, which would you admire the most?

[Calandale]

But entirely wanting to do yourself.

Who wouldn't? 

[Calandale]

Hmm, Erdos was a funny one wasnt he. Do you have an Erdos number? If you were to pick one person, which would you admire the most?

1. Not that I know of. Had to wiki it. I haven't published
anything which could qualify.

2. Myself. Not that I DO admire myself,
but IF I could, I'd be very happy about it.

Towards the intention of the question though,
I don't think that I CAN answer it. At least not
in a way which wouldn't change rapidly. I keep trying,
but can't even really settle on a field to look at.

Maybe you can make yourself into someone you can admire, you have time yet...

[Calandale]

Maybe you can make yourself into someone you can admire, you have time yet...

To be able to probably would mean giving up
who I am. I don't think that I could do that.

Why do you hate yourself so, Calandale. You probably just need to come up with a creative way of applying your persona.

[McGiver]

i had to fart, cal.  so i came to your thread to let it out.

I'm emo. Long before it was a term.
Ah, I don't do the cutting, or the fashion,
but otherwise, that's pretty much me.

Too fucking chicken to die.

You are finally admitting to being emo then.
Surely there is something you can do with your life...?

[renaeden]

Calandale, were you born in the UK?

[Calandale]

You are finally admitting to being emo then.
Surely there is something you can do with your life...?

Nothing finally about it. As soon as the concept was
explained, I identified with it.

I've done plenty. I'm sure I'll survive. Much to my
misery.

[Calandale]

Calandale, were you born in the UK?

No.

[The_P]

Calandale, were you born in the UK?

No.

Thank fuck.

You have an option to make something of yourself and fulfil your ego. Take it.

[Calandale]

The somethings which would fulfill me
are beyond my grasp now. Probably
always. Now, it's simply a matter of
what I am willing to settle for.
