What's in your hand, back at me. I have it, it's an oyster with two figures of your favorite Touhou characters. Look again, the figures are now vials of the Hourai Elixir. Anything is possible when your waifu smells like Old World and not a man. I'm a frog.

Aww AP bio was my favorite class in high school.

Just finished up my final english paper on postmodernism in Fun Home and I found this definition on urban dictionary

Quote
Postmodernism: pseudo-intellectual Trojan Horse of tyrants everywhere in the western world. Began in Arts faculties in various universities under "thinkers" like Derrida, Baudrillard, Foucault and Irigaray, and spread like a cancer into at least the "soft" sciences, if not further afield.
Works insidiously by establishing in the minds of the faithful that there are no ultimate truths in either a moral or a scientific sense, and dressing up bullshit in flowery language. Postmodernism pretends to be a guarantor of pluralism (a concept far better served, btw, by rational debate), and is in love with concepts such as the "transgressive" and the "paradigm shift". Unfortunately these matters are brought up in the midst of reams and reams of tendentious twaddle which constitute a dreadful waste of perfectly good trees, and the most notable effect of postmodernist (un)thinking is not the freeing of anyone's mind from conservative tyranny, but the scrapping of the very idea of objective truth. Once this happens, of course, what follows (outside the ivory towers of academia) is that the game goes, set and match, to the fellah with the biggest guns. Many conservative factions claimed that September 11 spelled the end of postmodernism. Ohhhh nooo, postmodernist twaddle was only just getting its boots on.

To take an (admittedly anachronistic) example of what is essentially the same thing:

"A new and magical understanding of the world is on the rise, one based on will rather than truth. There is no truth, in either the scientific or the moral sense."

- Adolf Hitler
They didn't find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but Blair says they still except to find them and he walks in hope! How beautifully in line with the creed of postmodernism!

A recent postmodernism-infected view of the war in Iraq explained that Bush and Blair were "creating new realities" for the rest of the world to study.

WHAT IN TARNATION.

@Cockle: This isn't really productive or helpful or anything, but bio & chem were my least favorite sciences in high school and god willing I'll never have to be exposed to either at a college level.....

@Bella

The urban dictionary dude has a point, and that essay was painful to write.

Writing questionably violent fanfiction, it's a first for me. I don't know why I enjoy it so much.

Embrace it, Cockle, know this as your true self.

Also that whole bathing in blood to reduce signs of aging or whatever.  I've been inventorying my childhood farm machinery collection!  A lot of sweet 1/64 stuff.

So a couple of weeks ago I was going through the mall and apperently I was being intimidating or something but when I held the door for someone they called me sir. I don't really think of myself as a sir, let alone someone to be looked up to. it was two women that were there and they seemed slightly nervous, I kinda feel bad.


Also, I made a thing
