XD ::hugsh:: Ishokay. I blame Nyquil and the past midnight-ness, so it's not really your fault.
o_o; <--- would have trouble compiling evidence at this hour too
If I'm still comprehensible, I think it's because people are keeping me awake in that thread... But in a mental gear-turning way. My HW keeps me awake by planting demons into my eyeballs to peel my eyelids open. Which is uncomfortable.
So, I found out that the guy the police were chasing up my street, that was on the Sydney news, was my neighbour from across the street! Also found out when he was trapped at the end of the street, he went in reverse and rammed a police car. It's pretty mad how everything's all connected. The sirens when I first heard them, the chase when it came up the street, the call from the officer, the news report, and the neighbour from across the street. Pretty mad.

Hnilmik, mainly it's because text on a screen recording a discussion is not the same as talking it out over the net, or seeing it in person.
If you want to practice real-life debating, you and I could talk on Skype some time. After all, with the voice and the face, more is often revealed than with the words alone.

o_o; Weiss. If you listen to me talk on Skype, all expectations regarding my intellectual nature will go out the window. Apparently, I'm only smart on paper or type. The few times where I can speak a full sentence without sounding like I forgot what grammar is is when I'm reading something aloud.
XD ...My speech teacher will weep. He often quotes this Greek philosopher. Paraphrasing, but basically, clear speech equates to a clear mind. My mind is a jumbled mess of hoohah.

Don't worry, Hnilmik. I sound like I was raised by snakes on the net. And it's clear that my writings on here don't reflect a lot of the random, insane stuff in my skull. And I type too fast some times for the buffer to keep up.

And you're starting to slow down because you're tired. Go to bed and sleep already, Kimlinh. Trust me, it helps. This is from somebody who has stayed up for over 36 hours before. Sleep is good!

Minty. Have you ever considered talking to any of us on Skype? If you did, you would find a few of us, myself definitely included, had no idea what we were doing to start with.
If there's anyone who needs some Lano and Woodley right now, it's you, Minty. BTW, what part of Aus are you in?

It still surprises me how nice people here are. I shouldn't have left for so long.
Thank you, Weiss. You know, I have been thinking about that. Will have to get around to chatting when I'm less of a random stranger. ^^ And, I'm from Sydneytown.
