Vivi's back!

i could, yes, but to be honest, hadron, you haven't done much to gain my trust on this board, sorry to say, and i only give out personal information to people i trust.

apologies if this sounds snitty, but everyone else has had to get used to it, too - i'm like it all the time.

Yeah I understand entirely. Just please say it isnt Oxford.

[Lucifer]

it isn't.  yet.

Hey, Hadron, it's usually not a wise idea to post the details of who you are and where you work on a public message board.

[Christopher McCandless]

it isn't.  yet. 

Do you actually want to work at Oxford. Dont make the same mistake as i did and get seduced by the place.

Entirely right. But Lucifer has given more than enough clues to work it out, academics are pretty easy to track down.

good grief. 

hadron, would you please stop talking to me as though i'm your baby cousin, or something.  i'm more than twice your age, and at least that as far as experience is concern ed.  i doubt you're doing it deliberately, but being patronised is guaranteed to send me from nought to homicidal in nanoseconds.

let me know how you get on - i'd be interested to see what you come up with.

Do you actually seriously want me to try?

Sorry you see my as patronising Lucifer. As for the experience arguement, im young as you have pointed out, therefore I am not a fan of arguement from authority.

[Lucifer]

well taken.  that sort of thing impresses me.

and it's not authority, it's experience and self awareness and knowledge -  there's a huge difference, believe me.

Hmm, but what you are then implying is that because your older than me that your arguements should count for more. You may have more experience than me, but then our experiences will not always overlap, you will have experiences that i havent had and vice versa. As for self awareness, I am not a fan myself of overdoing that one, its just too depressing. And knowledge, I have lots of that, just again in different areas to you.

[Lucifer]

not at all - you were trying to tell me about oxford, and what i should and shouldn't do.  i know myself, and therefore my arguments do count for more, much more.

and if you don't get through the nastier bits of self awareness, you may as well not bother.  once you get to and through them, you're much stronger.

As for the oxford arguement, answer this question, have you ever been there and been interviewed. Ive seen enough to know they are so anti-aspie that aspies may as well not bother applying.
Self-awareness, I do know myself pretty well i like to think, but there are limits in terms of how far you can go while retaining some sanity.
