'Much obliged, kind sir! Thank you!

Oh, sure! Spoil the answer, why don't you? :tongue: Actually, this is probably a pretty good idea. Also, if you see a group of people just standing around talking, and you come back hours later...

I'd mostly agree with what Ben and fiasco said. A good book on one of my favorite subjects is also appreciated. Having someone to discuss it with is even better.

I used to be that way. Tried to correct every spelling error I came across. My brothers especially were... unappreciative of my assistance. :crazy: I've since mellowed out. I'm still pretty...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM-VvLvmV6o Love the bass groove in this one. Can't think of any other song that gets me moving in quite the same way. You have excellent taste!

I could probably write a good deal on the various factors that I think combine to result in such a preference. To sum it up, I suspect it's because that the anime we fans watch here in North America...

Oh, good, I'm not the only one.

Don't seem to be very many people doing that to me.

Not being a clinical psychologist, I can't say for certain, but I don't think this is related. At least, not for me. There's no real disturbance in conscious thought, just in speech. I'd say it's...

Highly annoying. Thought trains collide in my mouth, turning a set of beautiful, eloquent ideas into a horrific mish-mash of a verbal monstrosity.

Crap, I totally forgot about her! Nine lifetimes worth of experience and knowledge, and cute as a button to boot!

... :crazy: AH HA HA HAx96 No. Though I can see why I got this. I use my LJ more as a tool for keeping up with friends than for any serious writing.

Seconded! I might have picked Samus, but I was kinda late to the whole console gaming scene. I didn't see her until Super Smash Bros., and I've never played through a Metroid game. Here are some...

If I'm in a really bad mood, it doesn't work, but I can usually smile on cue fairly well. My brother can't, though. Our family has a running joke about how he never smiles for the camera. After...

I put great effort into not doing this. Whenever I try to observe something, I often focus almost exclusively on one single thing. I think fighter pilots call it target fixation, but whatever the...

Apologies if my comments seem like a barely tangential rant. I've tried to share my thoughts, but I may have gotten carried away. Bleh. I am rather fed-up with the rat race at the moment. ...

Sure, a good oompah band is fun every once in a while. Red. Blue is a close second, though. If they're what I think they are, yes. I like just about anything sweet.

This is one of my favorite things to ponder, mostly because I love screwing with standard expectations. Every so often, I'll do something that prompts somebody nearby to declare it vaguely girly...

That's one of the reasons it took me until my mid-20s to get a license. (That, and having to learn in a bulky, top-heavy minivan that's nearly 2 decades old.) I still get a little nervous every...

But, I'm not a bunny; I'm a cat. Though I would like a birdy of my own. I won't eat it, I promise!

Huh? What are youx96 OH CRAP, TRUCK! *swerves* Ahem. In all seriousness, I like to think I'm pretty decent behind the wheel, but it does take a considerable amount of concentration. It should get...

Yeah, you know the lady who wears that is going to be the most popular girl in the bomb shelter!

This has to be the most creative method of typing I've seen. Kudos, MannyP. BTW, Si for me. Definitely Si.

Call me curmudgeonly, but I don't like my holiday seasons overlapping. It ruins the magic. I hate it when pop radio stations start playing Christmas songs before Thanksgiving. (Fortunately I don't...

Whoa, slow down, buddy! It's not even December yet! Ah. I was wondering why 340% of INTPs were gifted. Not that I'm complaining, mind you... Watch out for the INTPs, too! *grins...

How did you get these numbers? They seem rather...implausible. For that matter, how is one supposed to interpret this chart? What is this nebulous quantity N, and what data are used to...

For those of you who like their science with a side order of silly, the 19th First Annual Ig Nobel Prizes! Science Friday's coverage on NPR. Ceremony Webcast 2009 Ig Nobel Prize winners Ig...

Ehh? Group hug? :confused: You mean, like... with the... and... but... Huh? http://personalitycafe.com/members/jrquinlisk-albums-random-uploads-picture3127-wha-but-huh.jpg Kinda hard for...

Huh. Ham vs. Laika... That makes sense. Cool.

That's an...interesting analogy. How did you come to it?

Oh, well. The offer still stands, should you change your mind later. Probably not a good idea. They might blow it up. :tongue:

If you get bored up there and want to come back, just let me know; I've got a ride you can borrow: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/New_Altair_design.PNG

Easier said than done. Not that I'm saying it isn't a good idea; it is. But since Feeling is our shadow function, when we involve it, we tend to use it with all the grace and finesse of an...

This doesn't strike me as particularly healthy behavior. I will admit, when I'm frustrated with something, there's a strong temptation to take it out on the people I interact with. This is why I...

I don't know if I've actually gotten this very much. I only recall hearing similar sentiments from a couple of friends. They seemed to interpret my blank expression as sorrowful, bordering on...

Odd, I would think any decent graphing calculator has a random number generator. Did you read the entire manual, and/or exhaustively experiment with the various commands? DISCLAIMER: Mine's a...

Better to remain quiet and let them think you stupid, rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Meow? length

Fantasizing about romance. I feel quite happy for my newly-engaged friend, with a twinge of envy for the joy he's found. The Magic Bus isn't helping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl9bvuAV-Ao

Ah, if only! Then I could actually box like a Real Manx99! :tongue: There's something I've noticed with myself, and I'm wondering if it happens to other INTPs. The phrase emotional outburst...

So...it's Russian?

You'll have to work through differential equations and/or linear algebra. Whether or not you'll have to memorize all that...well, that differs with a number of factors. If you're good enough, you...

You, my dear, have probably never been exposed to true math. What you've probably seen is naught but child's play by comparison; any decent computer could be programmed to do that kind of...

Fair enough. The wording, in retrospect, was rather poor, but I still agree with the general sentiment. I'd like to learn how to deal with my emotions so I don't become a neurotic wreck when they...

:mellow:...Huh. I cannot deny the logic. We are, after all, here for self-improvement.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGO_cls6fd8 I wish I could find a decent set of tabs for this song.

Just finished watching the space shuttle launch. Go Atlantis!

Slightly concerned at the parallels between my ISP and the heartless telecom monopoly in Terry Prachett's Going Postal. Seriously, two hours of downtime with no warning?

Marveling at the complete cluster**** that is American health care. Aside from that, nursing a headache that's probably a result of me sitting on the couch all afternoon.

I agree with Liontiger. If you're not going to take next semester off, at least take it easy. Get some of the simple general education classes out of the way, and go for some easy As. Also, have a...'
