And also while I'm here, where are those pictures of iNcontrol in a Bikini? So, whenever I try to play any games, like fable, where you can be evil or good and get corresponding powers either way, I end up sucking, cause I try to be evil, deceitful, and tyrannical, but I can't. I feel too bad for the little old lady I steal the gold from or the man who owns the house I'm looting. I was the little kid that ran to mom crying to tell her that I watched Power Rangers even though I wasn't supposed to. *sigh* I have a compulsive drive to do the right, compassionate thing. Plus, I can't lie. So either way, even if I didn't want to (which I would), I would be kind and benevolent, for sure. ...and the people would love me and call me Anna Stormborn, The Unburnt...The Mother of Dragons... The pics of Geoff in a bikini don't exist, because we didn't raise enough money for charity! I'm sure if we could think of another good enough cause and achieve the goal, they might surface... ![]() | ||

It all started with my grandma, believe it or not. She bought the original "Intellivision" which played the first Atari Donkey Kong where Mario made his first appearance. She's a hardworking Depression-era lady, so she would spend all day working and caring for her family, then, when they had all gone to sleep, she would game till like 4 in the morning, sleep a little, and then get up at 6 to start the cycle again. The ORIGINAL gamer chick- she is so cool. When I was little, she and I used to play Atari DK, Night Stalker, Lock'n'Chase, and Baseball. My dad, too, is a complete computer nerd, and introduced me to PC gaming very early. I used to come to work with him and play Commander Keen and Captain Comic on his PC ALL DAY. As a little girl, I gamed all the time! As we got older though, everyone bought video games for my brother, like a game boy, N64, etc, because he was a boy, but never for me. Most of my best friends growing up were guys, and all of them were into games, so I was around it all the time, but again, because I was a girl, I would get a turn at 007 or Halo only every once in a while, and I would suck, cause I never got the chance to play, and they would take the controller back within a few minutes cause they were tired of watching me be a noob. Thus, when I got older, I had something to prove where games were concerned, so I set about having all the gaming systems that all my guy friends would envy. My sister and I often get together just to game all day. If anything, iNc just nourished the drive and expedited the process by having the latest systems that I didn't have, and putting me around people who liked to talk about gaming as much as I did. Honestly, I'm more of a recreational gamer than anything, and LOVE rpgs and rhythm games...probably due to the fact that, as a remnant of my past, I have bitter feelings toward shooters and more competitive games...and thus, I suck at them. Unfortunately, my PC sucks now too, and I can't afford a new one, so I have become mostly a console gamer as of the last few years, but plan to invest in a new one when SC2 comes out, so Geoff can train me. Then, hopefully his influence will help me become an at least passable Starcraft player! ...Carmen Sandiego is sitting here with me right now, why? | ||

So I fulfill lots of different roles throughout the year, but right now I mostly just coach swim teams and lifeguard. I also work for my family taking care of my grandparents a few days each week, because my Grandpa has developed Alzheimer's and my Grandma has a prosthetic leg that keeps her from being able to keep up their place by herself. I graduated college with dual degrees in International Studies and Speech Communication with a minor in Spanish, but because of the economy, have had trouble finding a job along those lines. Now, I'm working on starting my own Communication Consulting business, mostly focusing on interview coaching. My overall career dream, though, is to do something in entertainment: acting, singing, hosting, anything, so usually I'm also working on stuff like that on the side, but not making much money off that yet. (If you know anyone... ![]() I live with 1 roommate in a funny little house from the 70's with lots of spiders and floors that slope. One side of my bed is up on bricks so I don't roll off in the middle of the night. We say it has character. It also has a room filled only with gaming paraphernalia, which we call the "Cave of Wonders". | ||

Really, if one of us can swallow our pride and cross the room to hug the other one, the fight is usually over. Starcraft can be a valuable persuasive tool and distraction as well.

I assume its a case by case basis. How does an asian guy increase his attractiveness to white girls? Does driving a ford mustang help? Any other V6-V8 engine cars? I can borrow a pick-up truck if thats needed. Do i need to pick up a musical instrument? Will a guitar make a guy more attractive? How about an electric guitar? If the girl is really alternative looking, will she be turned on? I generally try to wear nice clothes to impress girls. Do girls get impressed by nice clothes? If so, how many nice shirts do I have to wear in order to get a first date? I really appreciate your input because I have been trying to date this girl since the beginning of the year. I invited her to a concert but she turned me down. It was a snow patrol concert. maybe she thinks im gay. (the kicker is she is the one who starts up conversations and hints for a hang out, but when I plan something she turns me down. is this girl just cock teasing me?) | ||

The Top Ten Questions you’ve always wanted to ask uNcontroLable but were too afraid to ask! 10. Just what is it that makes you so uncontrollable anyways? 9. Do you and Incontrol share the same brand of shampoo? It's certainly a rather curious question, isn't it? 8. Your preference: Boxers or Briefs? Oh-oh... it's getting personal. 7. Your cell phone just rang - what's the ringtone? It tells a lot about the person, y'know? 6. Top or Bottom? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. 5. What's your favorite pick-up line from Fresh Prince? We all love Will's cheesy lines, after all. 4. How many licks does it take until you get to the tootsie roll center of a Tootsie pop? Here we are, all hopeful that you are able to answer the age old question. 3. How big is Incontrol's carrier, and how long does it take for the interceptors to release? *cough* 2. Which Looney Toons character describes you best? Keep in mind many of them are cross-dressers! 1. If you were forever trapped on a deserted island with only myself to keep you company... ... how would you kill yourself? Come on now, were you expecting a different ending to this one? | ||

I'm going to go ahead and answer these together because I think they may boil down to the same reason. Now, I'm as much of a gender equality advocate as the next Oregonian hippie, but I'm gonna put a fact out there: women and men are different. Granted, there are many people whose gender is more pliable than is easily categorized, but, on the general level, men and women are simply wired differently when it comes to biological as well as psychological and especially social development. Now stay with me... In the past, video game marketing has been targeted almost solely at a young male demographic, meaning that most games catered to a more typically male frame of interest: martial, war, fighting, speed, weapons, etc. This is ABSOLUTELY not to say that there aren't some girls who love that stuff and were therefore also targeted. Obviously, when you look at the pro scene, you can find them. I, for one, was one of those who was gonna game no matter what. But I think the answer, as is often the case, lies in where the money was spent in past years: marketing to boys. As I mentioned when talking about my history with games, it was always a struggle to get my family to buy me things like a Game Boy for Christmas, because that was for, you guessed it "boys." NOW however, video game companies are wiser. In recent years, marketing of video games to girls has become MUCH more common, and I think, in years to come, you will begin to see that more and more reflected in the gender breakdown of e-sports. I think you will continue to see that girls will tend to be better at some games than others, and the same for boys, just because we are both born with certain attributes and (especially) socialized to develop certain skills that are, again, different. For example, it seems like rhythm games are already the most friendly area for girls going pro, whereas war-based games like starcraft are currently dominated by males. I think that, as the video game market becomes more uni-gendered, and as society continues the trend toward empowering women to enjoy and pursue whatever they choose, we will see more girls playing video games recreationally as well as professionally. ...and I will beast you all at SC2. ![]() Anyway, this is just my impressions off the top of my head, I'm sure any internet search could give you better and more empirical reasons. Another good source is Amy Brady from the Frag Dolls... she knows her stuff where these questions are concerned. | ||

I'm not sure what kind of "worse" you mean, like for your health, for other people to be around, etc., but I think you are probably talking about attractiveness. Honestly, I would have to say that I will be attracted to a smoker before an obese person, probably because I lived in Spain for awhile and I got so used to EVERYONE smoking that it didn't really play in anymore. After a while, though, like if I was dating someone, it would become an issue, not just because it would bother my lungs and I would hate how my clothes smelled, but because I don't want to watch the person I love willingly shortening their life. This could also apply to obesity if they are not doing anything to counteract the adverse health effects. 2. *deep breath*...wow...how do I see myself... Honestly, right now things are a bit tough in that department. Here's some honesty for you . My whole life, I have been fairly successful at everything I have set out to do. I was valedictorian in high school, won awards in dance, was a section leader in choir, won awards for speech team in college, graduated magna cum laude... blah blah blah. You know, all the things I wanted to do, I did, and I did well. But now that I'm out of school, I don't have the successful career I thought I'd have, and, even worse, I've realized the only dream I'll ever regret not chasing is working in entertainment. When I'm onstage or on camera, communicating with people in an artistic way, I feel alive. Successful. And I know, if someone will just give me the chance to get my foot in the door and do it professionally, I will be. It's just a matter of finding that window of opportunity. Then, I can work, and grow, and create my own opportunities to use my success to really make a difference for people and causes that need it! I guess, in short, I see myself as somebody who has almost unlimited potential, who really can do just about anything she sets her mind to, but who is lying in wait for the opportunity to succeed at her dreams, and then to use that success to really, truly make a difference. In terms of other qualities, I'm somewhat unexpected, in that I never fit into any stereotypical boxes. I abhor the idea of "religion" but my life revolves around the very real faith I have in God. I'm fundamentally scared by change but have developed a habit of taking risks in order to overcome it. I think a lot about higher purposes and the greater good. I try to always do the right thing, and will make choices that may not be fun at the time based on that. I don't think I'm particularly pretty but people say I am so I try to appreciate it. I'm always on the move mentally and physically, and often have to make an effort to make time to rest, which I feel is important. I love EVERYONE- literally, everyone- and I love deeply and completely. I work really hard to understand and get along with all kinds of people, there usually aren't too many people who don't like me, and I get really upset if I know they don't. Anyway...that question's answers could go on forever... ask me more specifically if I didn't go in the right direction. 3. Protest the Hero? OMG yes! I love them! I saw them in concert at Warped Tour, and then again with My Children My Bride, The Human Abstract, and As I Lay Dying. We rocked so hard, my roommate passed out. It was awesome. | ||

I think eating meat is a totally ok thing to do! I just stopped liking it after a diet experiment project I did in high school, and I started trying to eat really healthy then too. Then, as I grew up, I became really passionate about environmental sustainability, humane treatment of animals, eating natural foods, and trying paying bills on time. If I were to switch back to eating meat now, I'd be one of those people who buys the local grown, non-RBST, free-range, organic blah blah blah hippie meat that is really expensive, and would thus be unable to fulfill the latter of the aforementioned passions. | ||

How does an asian guy increase his attractiveness to white girls? Does driving a ford mustang help? Any other V6-V8 engine cars? I can borrow a pick-up truck if thats needed. If the girl is only going out with you because she is impressed by your car, then she is not worth going out with. That said, I find classic muscle cars particularly sexy, and have a weakness for new model Dodge Chargers. Do i need to pick up a musical instrument? Will a guitar make a guy more attractive? How about an electric guitar? If the girl is really alternative looking, will she be turned on? I'm sorry to say it, I'd like to say some big thing about how no skill or accessory makes a person attractive, no, it is who they are inside, blah blah blahhhhh... but yes.

Do girls get impressed by nice clothes? If so, how many nice shirts do I have to wear in order to get a first date? You should wear what you feel best expresses who you are. If you don't, and she dates you just because you wore nice shirts, you got her under false pretenses anyway. That being said, take pride in how you look, and girls will notice. I personally really dig an at least marginally fashion-conscious guy. How many shirts? *sigh* It's not the number of shirts, my friend, and, if it is, she's not worth the effort.

Hmm... you should give me more info on this girl in particular and I'll try to help. If she is the one initiating the talk about hanging out, but turns you down on big things like concerts (snow patrol = not too gay) then maybe the trick is to invite her to do something a little less date-ish and more low key. Something more you, or maybe something more her. I suggest next time she brings it up, asking her "Sounds cool, what did you have in mind?" or just filling her in on your plans for the evening and seeing if she wants to join, like: "Some friends and I were gonna go to the game tonight, wanna come?" | ||

To clarify, I'm not necessarily talking about goods, but stuff like.. job interviews, opportunities, maybe even attention/love There is definitely a difference in how you get treated as a customer based on how you look. I especially notice it when I travel. When I'm all put together and dressed nicely, I get treated like I'm way more important and get way better service than when I'm in sweats, hair all frizzy, etc. Overall, being a young 20-something girl has huge benefits that I can't deny. That's pert of the reason I want to travel so much now, because it won't be so easy to find friends and free places to stay around the world once I'm older lol. In terms of how does it make me feel? Actually it makes me kind of sad, in a way. First of all because I think all people should be treated based on who they are, not on their looks, but also, to be completely honest, because I know that one day I will be old and my looks will fade and there will be nothing I can do about it. lol. Or, who knows, I could have a tragic accident and be scarred. I guess sometimes when I am reminded that people think I'm beautiful, it stresses me out cause I worry about whether or not they will feel the same about me, or treat me the same, if that ever changes. I want to be loved just for me, you know? It scares me to think I might lose a part of someone's love if it is in any way based on my looks. That said, I can't say that I don't enjoy the certain advantages that come from batting my eyelashes at the right people at this point in my life. It has gotten me certain opportunities that I definitely wouldn't have gotten otherwise. As such, I can say it also makes me feel extremely blessed. I didn't do anything to deserve a certain genetic makeup, I was just born that way, and I am very thankful that I feel satisfied with the way I look for the most part, because I know a lot of people aren't. Honestly, I don't think that beauty just comes from genes though, I think a large part of why people think I'm pretty is because I am generally very comfortable with who I am, and confident in my own skin. That makes me feel proud, and gives me a sense of responsibility to be a good example for other young women on that front. ![]() Haha does that even answer you question? | ||

Iike if a dude comes up and asks for directions do girls think of the possibility that they are A). a rapist B) murder C)gangster... etc..? I mean for me and i'd guess most guys, those things don't even come to mind. Like for example i'm a pretty skinny dude, 5'7-128lbs.

Iike if a dude comes up and asks for directions do girls think of the possibility that they are A). a rapist B) murder C)gangster... etc..? I mean for me and i'd guess most guys, those things don't even come to mind. Like for example i'm a pretty skinny dude, 5'7-128lbs. And i talk mad shit without noticing, and never felt unsafe... maybe just me. I don't know that girls in general feel unsafe walking in public, but I bet a grand majority feel scared walking alone in less populated areas, especially at night. Such a large percentage of violent crimes are committed against women, I think it's prudent to be a little scared. I used to be one of those "it would never happen to me" girls, and I've learned to be more cautious. Even when the likelihood is statistically low of anything happening, it only takes being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In the town where Geoff and I went to college, a girl my age was out cleaning in a front yard, got snatched into a van and was raped and killed. It's a pretty safe town, but it just took that one guy, you know? For me, it was horrifying to think that, if he had happened to park his van next to me and put the knife to my back, instead, there would be nothing I could have done. It's sad, because now not a single girl walks around there at night by herself and feels safe. It totally depends on the person and the situation as to whether I am suspicious of a guy asking directions. If we're in a populous place and he looks normal, like if a guy my age comes up to me in a mall and asks whatever, I'm probably not suspicious. If I'm waiting for a bus in the evening, and an older, unkempt guy comes up and starts talking to me, yeah I'll be nervous. I think that's probably pretty commonly the case. I, for one, never really have a problem talking to anyone until they say something creepy that makes me feel unsafe. If they want me to go somewhere with them alone or reveal any personal info, it's buh-bye, but, until then, generally I'm always up for meeting someone new. | ||

Well, as you said, it has to fit the person, but I'm a TOTAL sucker for long hair on the right guy. I love that kinda shaggy, flipped out boarder look, and actually even a ponytail IF he can pull it off. If not though, spiky is totally the way to go, and a fauxhawk always looks sharp. 2. I think that most fit women in the United States probably see themselves as larger than they are, yes. I know that I don't see in the mirror what other people see when they look at me, and most of my friends growing up were the same. The socialization we all get can make us feel that way, but we can overcome it by realizing that is the case and choosing to be totally healthy over just skinny. What you are referring to, though, is women who constantly complain about it and while there are some who do it for attention, a lot of them are actually saying it as almost kind of an apology. They don't want you to think that they think their size is okay. Basically the idea that they are promising you they could at some point look better. My sister had a couple eating disorders growing up, so I actually know a lot about body image and what it makes girls feel and do. | ||

I think I'm learning a lot about myself as I answer these, too. I know you're not attacking, that is a valid question, and I guess the answer is yes. I observe the unfortunate truth that humans respond to attractiveness in others by treating them better, but I accept how I'm treated because...what else am I supposed to do? Demand to be treated less well? In a perfect world, everyone would be treated with the utmost compassion and respect, so I guess I don't think "if wasn't pretty, this person wouldn't be nice to me" or wish that I was treated with less deference. Sometimes, too, I guess i do know I'm getting what I want because I'm young and attractive, but usually I only do that purposefully when it's either relevant to the situation (trying to get modeling jobs) or only taking advantage of someone being very shallow (getting into a good club for free because my girlfriends and I look good. I don't feel as bad because I'm just causing them a loss based on their being shallow). When it's the reverse, though, like someone is getting treated like a lesser person or getting less privileges because of their looks, I go to war. I don't know, this is something I have been thinking a lot on the last few days...it's worth more thought and discussion for sure. | ||

On October 12 2009 23:20 Spike wrote: On the top of your head, what's the biggest misconception that men have about women? and How do you feel about Boji cars? You know, this is a tough question, especially with the caveat "right off the top of my head," but my first instinct is to say that the biggest misconception is that we're SO complicated. What I mean by that is, yes, women are complex, but there are very simple guidelines you can follow, just like with men, to insure that you are keeping a woman happy. The reason we seem so complicated is that, unlike men, we don't spell it out, or necessarily even say what we want. Thus, if you just take the time to figure out the standing desires of every woman, you will become the chick whisperer. Let's take the classic example of Starcraft. Now, believe it or not, women in general probably have no hate for SC. They don't dislike video games, and they don't resent that you play one. In fact, if you're relatively good at it, or have had some success in competition, this can be actually a bit of a turn on, you just have to play your cards right. The problem that women have with Starcraft is, in fact, usually the simple fact that they feeel threatened by it's place in the hierarchy of your attention. What I mean is, they wonder if, given the chance to spend an hour with them, or an hour with Broodwar, you would choose the latter. I'm not saying "if you had to choose between ever playing SC again and being with her..." no, that's ludicrous. I'm saying, right off the bat, women are, at base, very territorial and hierarchical, and, if they really like you, their goal will become to be at the very top of your list on both accounts. If you are just casually dating someone, first few times you've been out, of course you owe her no such place in your attention, and you just have to make sure you affirm to her that you are interested in considering her for that place in your life. However, if this is a steady girlfriend, perhaps a wife, you have to communicate with her that she is the head lioness of your pack. Now, to go back to the classical "if you had to choose between me and _____" question. Don't let her get to that point! Most women, deep down, know that that is a really stupid thing to ask, and that it should never really be brought up...but it happens out of emotional distress. Some tips to keep her on your side where it comes to hobbies: make her feel like you two are on the same side, a team. Say things like "I'm so glad to have found a girl who supports me in my interests. You wouldn't believe how many girls try to make me stop playing because they don't understand how important this game is to me." That will have the dual effect of making her feel affirmed, like she is doing something right and you like her for it, as well as communicating how important your hobbies are to you. Emphasize her hobbies too, and encourage her to do them as you do yours, like "Hey, I love that drawing you were working on the other day, I'm playing SC but would love to hang out, do you wanna come over and work on it while I play?" This shows that you WANT to spend time with her, and gives her something to do that makes her feel like she is accomplishing something as well. Believe it or not, her primary goal is often to spend time with you, no matter what you are doing. This comes with the unsaid rule, though, that you have to pay attention to her periodically, like between each game, so she doesn't go home feeling like you couldn't have cared less whether she was there or not. Lots of affirmation is good, just a smile between plays and a "I like having you here" moves mountains in the female mind. Finally, if you can, invite her to get involved in your gaming. show her funny vids on team liquid, ask her to watch a pro match with you and explain all the basics so she can start to feel like she knows whats going on. Pick one that showcases some of your favorite moves or units, so she can get excited along with you as you describe how you like to use them. Ideally, if she is the right girl for you, she will have some interest in the things that you like, too. ![]() All in all, you've merely got to communicate to the girl that she is important to you, and you like having her around. In my personal experience, this is a delicate balance, that, when properly maintained, can actually strengthen your relationship. Geoff, for example, plays HOURS of Starcraft a day, but is always careful to explain "Honey, I really want to spend time with you, but I have a big tournament in a few weeks that I really need to train for. Do you mind if I play for a few more hours and then we can catch a movie or something?" Of course, then I am going to say that's fine, because I am a supportive girlfriend, and I want him to succeed. ![]() ![]() Oh, and Boji cars? Yeah, I'd probably go with the Aston Martin. Can't beat stepping out of a hot car feeling like a Bond girl. . ..or, you could buy yourself a nice 20k car and buy a year's worth of meals for an entire village of orphans...either way. | ||

(all in abundance) ? That question involves two parts that need to be defined "look down on" and "general degeneracy." I personally drink only in moderation, gamble only once in a while in moderation, don't do any illegal drugs, and am waiting till I'm married to have sex. That said, I don't "look down" on anyone who hasn't made those decisions. I have reasons for the choices I've made, and of course, having given them some real contemplation, I think they are the best ones to make, but that doesn't mean that I in any way resent or disrespect people who have made their own choices that are different than mine. Just as I expect to be respected for what I value, I respect others for what they value. The only thing I don't respect is people who make choices without thinking, or without having a reason. A lot of people take the easy road or follow the crowd without really stopping to think about whether they want to or not. Still, I don't look down on them, but I don't regard their choices with as much respect. The misconception is that, because I live a fairly conservative moral life, I am going to somehow dislike people who don't, and that is not the case AT ALL! It makes me sad when people assume that I am going to despise them. I love first! | ||

My favorites are the original Star Wars Trilogy, Princess Bride, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, some others... but I dunno, it depends on the mood I'm in. A lot of days I'll just curl up and watch Pride and Prejudice, and other days I need some Billy Madison, you know? I finished reading the 'Song of Ice and Fire' Series a little while ago and now it's like, all Geoff and I and my roommate can talk about. SO good. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres, that's why I love the 'Mark of the Lion' Series by Francine Rivers. I also just finished reading "Mother Tongue: English and How it Got That Way" by Bill Bryson. A total nerd book, but really up my alley in terms of interests so I loved it. I actually also really really loved the Twilight Series recently, just for pure romantic and entertainment value, and also recently re-read Ender's game. I love to read, and I read REALLY fast, so I'll read just about anything. Basically, in short, I'm terrible at choosing favorites of ANYTHING because I like such a wide variety of things. | ||

A training session with him is worth way more than he's charging for the results you'll get. I've watched a few, and seriously, not because I'm biased, it's definitely worth it. | ||

Sorry, I totally missed this last one! Well, ever since I was little, my dad has always loved being on stage. He was kind of my hero, so when he was in adult church choir, I was in pre-school "Cherub Choir." When he was in a musical, I auditioned too. My mom, also, was a dancer, and had me on stage dancing by the time I was starting grade school. I don't really know when or where it started... but I have realized after many times ignoring it, that I really truly know and experience passion each time I perform something that is really meaningful to me. My last year at university, I performed with this dance group for whom I also did some of the choreography, and we danced to my favorite song. It got to a point in the music where I was so moved that I cried on stage as I danced. All of it might sound lame to someone who doesn't share these kind of feelings, but truthfully, I even feel my most honest form of worship is often on stage or in performance. There is no form of self-expression after which I feel so completely... expressed. I hope that's what's in store for me in the future... but who knows. I've learned that, the more you think you have figured out, the more you will look back on and laugh. ![]() | ||

To clarify, I'm not necessarily talking about goods, but stuff like.. job interviews, opportunities, maybe even attention/love There is definitely a difference in how you get treated as a customer based on how you look. I especially notice it when I travel. When I'm all put together and dressed nicely, I get treated like I'm way more important and get way better service than when I'm in sweats, hair all frizzy, etc. Overall, being a young 20-something girl has huge benefits that I can't deny. That's pert of the reason I want to travel so much now, because it won't be so easy to find friends and free places to stay around the world once I'm older lol. In terms of how does it make me feel? Actually it makes me kind of sad, in a way. First of all because I think all people should be treated based on who they are, not on their looks, but also, to be completely honest, because I know that one day I will be old and my looks will fade and there will be nothing I can do about it. lol. Or, who knows, I could have a tragic accident and be scarred. I guess sometimes when I am reminded that people think I'm beautiful, it stresses me out cause I worry about whether or not they will feel the same about me, or treat me the same, if that ever changes. I want to be loved just for me, you know? It scares me to think I might lose a part of someone's love if it is in any way based on my looks. That said, I can't say that I don't enjoy the certain advantages that come from batting my eyelashes at the right people at this point in my life. It has gotten me certain opportunities that I definitely wouldn't have gotten otherwise. As such, I can say it also makes me feel extremely blessed. I didn't do anything to deserve a certain genetic makeup, I was just born that way, and I am very thankful that I feel satisfied with the way I look for the most part, because I know a lot of people aren't. Honestly, I don't think that beauty just comes from genes though, I think a large part of why people think I'm pretty is because I am generally very comfortable with who I am, and confident in my own skin. That makes me feel proud, and gives me a sense of responsibility to be a good example for other young women on that front. ![]() Haha does that even answer you question? yeah, it was pretty interesting, because I always wonder this about pretty girls, ty ![]() So you feel people should be treated based on who they are, still you use your looks to make stuff easier for you? Or do you just accept how you are treated? I really dont want to attack you or something, I'm just curious... All in all you seem to be a really nice girl by the way, it's also pretty cool how you give lengthy and intimate answers to all these private questions ![]() The thing is that guys also gets treated better the better they look. You get a lot in life for free by spending some extra time making sure your clothes fit, your hair is neat and working out once in a while, it is not just for getting guys/girls. And it isn't abusive in any way, they go out of their way to help you because they want to, you accepting will make them happier than if you declined. Overall you make people happy by letting them help you out, it is a win-win situation. As for the topic, do I have a question? Hmm, lets see. Yeah, that: Why do women usually have so much trouble trying to take the first steps towards a relationship? A forward female is one that smiles a lot and don't say no to most things, the same behaviour for a guy would place him in the "shy" category. Women do fiddle with their hair/neckline, laughs excessively, tries to give a lot of praise or other such things when they are interested, but why can't they just ask people out? Now, I am sure that some women do that, but a large majority don't. As it is it seems that men starts the relationships while women ends them. So, how do you think one should act to get a girl to ask you out? Technically it would be a lot easier for me to just ask them out, but it seems like it is all but impossible for me to do that so I figured that maybe it would be possible if it were the other way around. I do look good, women are often eyeing me and/or go out of their way to talk with me or help me or things like that. And before you ask, the problem with asking women out is that I can't figure out why I would go for any particular girl. It is like, as a guy you are supposed to just shotgun out invites and then be happy with whatever you get while as a girl you can wait till it feels right. So for me it feels like I am not being honest when I ask someone out, I am not particularly interested in anyone and it seems like getting together with someone that you know you will break up with will just make things more miserable for both of you. Or maybe it is just me having an overly negative view on relationships, to me they seem more agonizing than anything else and the only reason I could possible have for being in one is if the other part would. I am very empathic and loves to do things for others so that could work, at least for a while. Aw, now I feel like a freak :| | ||

I'm glad you are liking what I've written so far! Hehe, I actually love telling people about how Geoff and I started. We met when we were both members of the speech team at our university. I was somewhat of an individual event star and he was the same on the parliamentary debate side. We eventually became co-captains, and people jokingly called us "Mommy and Daddy" of the debate team. When I look back though, and try to think of where the very first spark of my interest in him was struck...one moment sticks out in my mind. Our team was full of drama. I assume it's the same on most speech teams, but our coaches were jerks, our teammates ranged from premadonnas to emo kids... and there was always some kind of huge issue going on. Geoff and I, for our part, hated the drama, and could usually be found off to the side somewhere, waiting for the storm to blow over. We were friends enough at that point, but only to the extent that we were teammates, like co-workers. Well, at this one particular tournament, things got really bad. I don't even remember what the issue was... I think it was something as stupid and routine as no-one could agree on where to go for dinner. Geoff and I were both sitting at this little two-person table in some cafeteria, and we got trapped when the team literally surrounded us and began to throw the drama bombs at each other over our heads. I was miserable. I like to smile, I like everyone to be okay, and I was stressing. I looked at Geoff and we rolled our eyes together. Looking at him and seeing someone on the same page as me in all that chaos made me feel a little better. Then, out of the blue and lightening-quick, while still maintaining eye contact with me, Geoff reached out, grabbed a napkin from the dispenser in the center of the table, and ate it. Just STUFFED it in his mouth, and then sat there like nothing had happened. He did it so quick that none of the people over our heads had any idea what had happened. I started laughing hysterically, and when they looked at him for an answer to why, he just shrugged as if he had no idea. For some reason, probably the stress of the moment, I laughed till I cried, so hard and so long that eventually they forgot what they were fighting about and the evening became pleasant. Oddly enough, I think it was then that I realized, hey... this guy is pretty awesome. It was after that that we began to spend a little time together outside team events. Soon, we went to the library together to study, and ended up deep in conversation. After I thought about an hour had gone by, my goody-goody conscience got the better of me and I said something to the effect of "Geez, we'd better get to studying, we've probably been putting it off by talking for like, an hour!" He laughed and looked at his watch, then looked back at me, shocked. We had been talking for five hours, and both of us had been enjoying it so much, that niether of us had ANY idea. I can't think of another time in my life where I have had such an innacurate perception of time. The library closed about 15 minutes later. We didn't get any studying done. ![]() ![]() During that conversation, the fact that I sew had come up, and Geoff had asked if I wouldn't mind fixing his dress pants that he wore for speech tournaments. He had like, ripped the back pocket or something. I was thinking about our conversation often, and finally decided to see what was really there. Using all my womanly wiles, I constructed a text message about his pants. It was ripe with just the right amount of innuendo... a test, if you will. Enough to give him the opportunity to show interest, but little enough that I could claim I never meant it if he wouldn't bite. ![]() lol...I actually have that text message conversation written down somewhere. If I could find it, would you guys be interested in seeing it? ( I guess I'd have to make sure it was ok with iNc first.) | ||

I look a lot like her. I hope I will be a hot mom. Geoff says outlook is good. ![]() The best way to describe my feelings about girl help threads on TL is just to say that they often exhaust me. I sometimes stay away from posting in them because either a) I get tired of guys asking the same common sense questions, looking for an easier way to get laid than actually having to care about the girl and put some work in, or b) There is too much bad advice for me to adequately respond to. All in all, I really love to provide a woman's perspective on things when it will help, I guess I just feel like there aren't enough guys out there who are really looking for that perspective when they make these threads. It's more often "how can I get this girl" than it is "what can I do to make this girl's day," or, "what are some creative ideas of nice things I can do for this girl to get her to notice me, here is what she is like..." You know? I yearn for topics that show the guy has at least put some thought in and has some understanding of women as human beings. I think online forums are a great place to get opinions and ideas...but asking general questions about all women from thousands of guys and then applying those ideas to a specific woman in a particular situation is, in my opinion, as futile as it is... well... typical. | ||

I am very empathic and loves to do things for others so that could work, at least for a while. Aw, now I feel like a freak :| Ok, so as I see it, you really have 3 main questions: 1) Why do girls, in general, seem to wait to be asked out instead of doing the asking? 2)What is a good way to get a girl to ask you out? 3)How do you pick who to ask out/who to go out with if you are not particularly interested in someone? 1) For any number of reasons, I would say most girls are hung up on the idea that it's bad to do the asking when it comes to dating. This comes from eons of socialization geared toward male dominance, all the way up to Cosmo telling us we don't want to look "desperate," so we should do a, b, and c to get the guy to ask us out, and if that doesn't work, then he's not into us so go cry about it. I know that I personally am okay with asking a guy out, but only to the extent that we agree to go do something together. I would feel weird saying "hey, can I take you out on a date sometime?" Probably because I would be afraid he'd say yes without really being into me, and I'd look like a fool. This is totally unfair, because obv it's the same kind of concern for guys... but that's just kinda the way it is. I think the ancient cultural odds are stacked against you on this one. 2) If you're really set on the idea of being asked out instead of doing the asking, there are a few things you can do to encourage it. First of all - and I'll touch on this in the next question - I'm not talking about "Here, do these things and women will flock to you." that's bogus. Those kinds of catch-all tips aren't real, and even if they were, they would catch you lame girls that weren't interested in the real you anyway, so what's the point. That said, if you like a girl, and you want her to ask you out, give her lots of opportunities. Mention a movie you have been wanting to see, say that you've been trying to find someone to go to the gym with... mention that you love a certain restaurant... anything that provides her a segue into inviting you to do something with her. MOST IMPORTANTLY though, make it at least somewhat known that you have interest in her. I would say that men and women alike won't ask each other out if they perceive the risk of rejection to be too high. Other than that, I venture once again to state the obvious. Get to know a girl, become her friend, and if there is a spark, something will happen the right way, at the right time. 3) If you aren't interested in anyone, don't ask anyone out. ... I'm not really sure... but I'm getting the feeling that you are trying to circumvent the whole "actually getting to know someone" process here. Look for girls that pique your interest for some minute reason or another. If you think you might be into someone, spend time with them to find out. If you are dating them and you feel like you're not being honest about your feelings, back off. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you, but this is exactly what I was talking about a few posts back with the girl help threads. This seems so common sense to me ??? | ||

- Which of these do you think is the most important to a girl in the order of importance? - If you're in a setting where everyone is new and you get to know some new dudes, does it mean those having attributes ranked no. 1 will get all the chicks? How does this work in your opinion? heheh 1) Rich 2) Good looking (Face) 3) Hot bods 4) Highly educated (Masters or PHD least to say) 5) Social Status (eg. someone famous or important like a CFO of an MNC or so) 6) Comedian, the kind that can crack you up even when you first meet 7) Others (pls elaborate) Cheers! While I have half a mind on what's important, I love to hear it from a lady I don't know.. ;p | ||

The biggest change is that I guess now I look less at potential, and more at real compatibility. | ||

What's it like to sleep with Inc? Please describe everything immense detail. Does he hog the sheets, does he snore, does he prefer a certain side of the bed, is there enough room for both of you on the same bed or are you forced off to the edge of the bed, does he have cold feet, does he talk in his sleep, has he ever said something in his sleep regarding SC, whats it feel like when when (or if) he puts his ginormous arm around you at night, what kind of jammies does inc where, does he have any pre-bedtime rituals, does he use any night facial creams?

While I have half a mind on what's important, I love to hear it from a lady I don't know.. ;p Ok, without even looking at your list first, I'm gonna make my top 7 most important things in a guy, and then we'll see how they compare: 1) Sense of higher purpose, some degree of spirituality 2) Compassion/ Love for others 3) Honesty/Trustworthiness/Follows through 4) Communicates well 5) Enjoys new experiences and has interests, DOES things 6) Sense of humor 7) Intelligence (not necessarily academic) Lol, so, we only had like...one in common. the way I would order yours would be: 1) Comedian 2) Highly educated 3) Good Looking Face 4) Social Status 5) Hot Bod 6) Rich That said, I once went out a couple times who was a millionaire, hot body and face, funny, high social status, etc... but within the first couple times I saw him I knew there was nothing to it, because he didn't fit my list above...or, more accurately... he just wasn't right for me. I don't think that any list of attributes, when achieved, will get you all the chicks. Human nature is such that some people get along and are attracted to each other, and some don't! If there were one thing to work toward, though, I think it would be "easy to talk to." That will get you farthest when you are trying to meet and ahem "get" (???) chicks. Be relaxed, be yourself, show interest in HER... and it will go a long way. | ||

I didn't know about the love affair between Geoff and SC till...well I think until we were already dating maybe? Geoff, do you remember? Now that I think about it... he may have kept it pretty cleverly hidden for a long while there haha. As far as my reaction to him...well this is kinda an unfair question, because, at that point, even though he was already well respected as a player, Geoff had nowhere near the notoriety in e-sports that he does now. We met even before he was WCG USA champ...sometime in 2004 or 5 i think. (Side note: It really sucked, in fact, because I helped him train to qualify in 2007, and then we broke up for a while, right as he became champ. People kept calling me and telling me they saw him on TV and on the VGA's... and I would get all depressed because it was one of my dearest wishes to have gone to grand finals with him.) Am I understanding correctly that you're kinda asking if I would have acted differently around him if I had known he was such a big deal? I have to admit, I do have a tendency to get kind of starry-eyed when it comes to celebrities, but I don't really let it show... so even if I had met Geoff after Ultimate Gamer and thought he was big news, I don't know that I would have acted much different. I'd still be just as coy and flirty lol. Either that or you are asking, if I had known how much a part of his life Starcraft was, would I have been so keen to get involved? In terms of knowing SCBW was such a large part of his life... well, I learned that pretty early on, and honestly I just thought it was really cool that he was so freakin good at something. It's really fun bragging rights to say your boyfriend is one of the best in the US at, well, anything. And now, everyone is jealous when I say he is a professional video gamer lol. | ||

I believe all the evidence that shows it can be really harmful to relationships and to the psyche. PS... An interesting note on that subject... I've talked to a lot of people who feel similarly about overly romantic movies/books/etc., calling it "girl ****." They are of the opinion that, in the same way that **** creates unrealistic expectations about sexual performance, they create dissatisfaction in a relationship where it doesn't belong. Movies about perfect romance, overly self-sacrificing love, etc. can create unrealistic expectations for performance in terms of relationship maintenance. No one can act like they are in "The Notebook" all the time, not everyone will run from the altar into the arms of the one they "really" love...and so on. I by no means think there is an equal comparison between sappy romances and ****...AT ALL... and I'm not to the point yet where I'm willing to give up my chick flicks.. but I think there is at least something to this idea that is worth thinking about. At least, it made me stop expecting there to be roses on my doorstep every day. | ||

Serious question now: Is it common for girls to have secret crushes on people who they hang out with almost every day? There is a girl I know who I hang out with almost every day. I study with her, laugh with her, sit around and do nothing with her and we talk about almost everything. I have a giant crush on her but I have ruined so many relationships I would like to take this one slow because it seems so worth it. She laughs at my jokes but she never touches me and I never touch her for some reason. I think she really does like me as more than a friend but I cannot tell. I firmly believe that we have a good relationship going and that real relationships cannot be forced and will happen automatically if it was meant to work. So my question to you is: Should I just continue being a great guy to her and not inquire about how she feels about me or should i take this opportunity to ask her out? Thanks | ||

Okay, so that's silly, but come to think of it there are actually two questions that came to mind: 1) Are people who talk to themselves with other people in the room more or less annoying than people who are always on their cell phones? As a result of a conversation with a co-worker today, I realized that even though I find people who are "always on the phone" kind of irritating, I talk to myself. A lot. But now I'm thinking, those two habits have to have about the same result, right? As in general noise that also is kind of off-putting if you want to talk to the person. But I'm curious: which is worse? 2) So my parents taught me to dress neatly, look respectable, etc. - but I also grew up with that part of American culture (despite my current location being Korea, I'm American) which is all "knowing anything about clothes is girly". Result: I look neat-ish most of the time, and can wear just about anything (growing up wearing a kilt at least semi-regularly gives you decent confidence about not being self-conscious just because you look "ridiculous") - but that "anything" doesn't always fit quite right (at least it matches!) and I'm absolutely lost when it comes to "nice" clothes - if I went to buy a suit I'd probably just stand there looking confused. Where should/could I start remedying this problem? (I don't mean to sound sexist/overly traditionalist "ask a girl about fashion" here, but I don't know any guys who do fashion-y things and you a) do and b) are answering questions, so hey.) Oh. And while I'm asking questions, what are the best and worst-looking colors for each race in SC? | ||

So my question to you is: Should I just continue being a great guy to her and not inquire about how she feels about me or should i take this opportunity to ask her out? Thanks <3 Thanks so much Hypnosis, you all are so welcome, that makes me feel really good. ![]() This is a really tough question to answer with any degree of certainty, seeing as I don't know her or how your friendship works, but here's my take: It's all a question of risk versus gain. It sounds like you guys have a really good, strong, enjoyable friendship. If you tell her you have feelings for her, and she doesn't feel the same, you risk making things awkward, or possibly changing or even harming the relationship as it exists in the status quo. However, if you tell her and she does feel the same, you gain a more intimate relationship with someone you have strong feelings for. Basically, you have to decide if the chance at a relationship with her is worth the possibility of losing what you already have. Now, that said, it sounds like you guys have a pretty healthy and close friendship. As such, you probably have a good idea what she thinks and feels, and how she will react to what you say. The ideal situation is one where you can be completely open and honest, talk everything out, and go on from there, even closer than you were before, whether you end up in a romantic relationship or not. However, if that's improbable, it is possible to try and ascertain her feelings without putting yours in the open. This is more of the wussy way, but it definitely has it's usefulness. Wait for the opportunity in a conversation to talk about friends becoming romantic. Like if you watch a movie where it happens, or you see something funny happen between a couple, or if something a couple does in both of your view relates to something you guys do or have done, use it to propose the hypothetical situation of you two being a couple, in order to see how she reacts. for example: *you just watched a movie where a pair of best friends fall for each other and end up together in the end* "Haha, I wonder how often that happens in real life." "What?" "You know, people who think they are just friends finding out that they actually have feelings for each other." "Yeah, I dunno." "Hahaha, ohhh, I get it, you secretly have feelings for me, don't you? *flirty flirty etc*" ...at which point she will either react with giggly protestations, or an explanation of why that could or couldn't happen between you. Keep in mind, if she likes you, she is just as nervous about revealing it as you are, so you are looking for non-verbal cues, not necessarily the words she actually says. Or, as another example, observe that you guys are like a couple, and start it as a line of joking. For example, if you have a dispute over something silly or do a household chore for each other, joke that you are like a married couple, and see if she goes along. You know, that kind of thing. In experimenting with her reactions, you can try to get a better idea as to how she would react if you outright told her you had feelings for her. Keep in mind, in my experience, girls love to feel attractive and interesting, so when they find out a guy has feelings for them... they are likely to find him interesting too... All in all, all communication theory and tricky techniquing aside... my personal recommendation would be just to keep taking it slow. You have nothing to lose by staying friends, spending time together, and letting things develop in their own time. If anything, like you said, it has a higher potential of creating a more successful relationship. I say, don't push it, but do be ready to be honest about your feelings as soon as the time is right, or, tell her how you feel right away, if you feel like it's worth the risk. | ||

On November 12 2009 21:28 Musoeun wrote: All the cool people are doing it, so I should too, right...? Okay, so that's silly, but come to think of it there are actually two questions that came to mind: 1) Are people who talk to themselves with other people in the room more or less annoying than people who are always on their cell phones? As a result of a conversation with a co-worker today, I realized that even though I find people who are "always on the phone" kind of irritating, I talk to myself. A lot. But now I'm thinking, those two habits have to have about the same result, right? As in general noise that also is kind of off-putting if you want to talk to the person. But I'm curious: which is worse? 2) So my parents taught me to dress neatly, look respectable, etc. - but I also grew up with that part of American culture (despite my current location being Korea, I'm American) which is all "knowing anything about clothes is girly". Result: I look neat-ish most of the time, and can wear just about anything (growing up wearing a kilt at least semi-regularly gives you decent confidence about not being self-conscious just because you look "ridiculous") - but that "anything" doesn't always fit quite right (at least it matches!) and I'm absolutely lost when it comes to "nice" clothes - if I went to buy a suit I'd probably just stand there looking confused. Where should/could I start remedying this problem? (I don't mean to sound sexist/overly traditionalist "ask a girl about fashion" here, but I don't know any guys who do fashion-y things and you a) do and b) are answering questions, so hey.) Oh. And while I'm asking questions, what are the best and worst-looking colors for each race in SC? 1)I think for me personally, people who talk to themselves are more annoying, because I'm so used to being in the room with other people who are on the phone, and I'm pretty good at ascertaining quickly whether they are on the phone or talking to me. On the other had, if someone is just talking to themselves, it can get pretty awkward trying to figure out if they are talking to me or not. lol. Either one is not a huge deal though, once you get used to it. 2)My best advice for learning about fashion is to find a friend who has good style (meaning at least you like the way they normally look) and ask them to go shopping with you. Have them pick out clothes for you to try on, then talk to them about how they fit, where you could wear them, etc. A lot of my friends have asked me to do this for them actually, and it has really helped! Fit really is the key. A lot of people tend to buy clothes in the wrong size because they either don't know their size, or they don't like the way the right size looks. If you don't like it in your size, get something else! I can't tell you how many of my friends get asked if they have lost weight once I help them pick out a new pair of jeans lol. Most stores actually have associates that will measure and fit you, as well as give you advice too, if you don't have a friend who wants to come along. Other than that, any advice I would give you would probably have to be more informed. | ||

I actually Got Geoff to take some classes with me! ![]() As far as what you should do next, if you haven't done a lot of ballet yet, i would totally recommend that. If you can build the core control, balance, and extension that comes from ballet, in my experience, it will totally translate to skill in almost all other forms of dance. | ||

I took a more comprehensive test to find my MBTI while I was in school. and I'm not sure it was the same... but I guess this looks right enough. I'm pretty extroverted, creative and big-picture focused, very sensitive to feelings and value them sometimes over logic, and like to gather as much information as I can and then draw conclusions. Being a comm major, I love this kind of stuff. We used to sit around and talk about it all day lol. | ||

I have a cute profile picture in facebook were I have two girls on both sides and they are really cute.. I met them at their office because my friend won a cellphone due to crossfiyah. (nothing malicious in the picture just a very friendly pic with two beautiful girls) Now the thing is, my girl found the profile picture and told me "I am so jealous of the two girls your with right now." which was a little playful and at the same time a little psychotic. I told her,.. I just wanted to show that I accidentally won the cellphone.. Even thought she already knew that wasn't the case. So I changed the picture as soon as she replied that "I am so jealous of the two girls your with right now." And she began to say "No, it's actually okay.. I know you like being proud of that picture." Does this make me look like a douche to her? I mean, she is really the jealous type and I don't even know if she really hates my ass for it once she saw that picture? | ||

Although I don't know in your specific case obviously, generally your girlfriend will get pissed if you have focal point pictures (i.e. your facebook profile picture, which is the one everybody is guaranteed to see) with other girls.. isn't this a no-brainer? While the initial move makes you look like a douche, I think you might have saved yourself by taking it down as soon as she showed interest (negative) in it. | ||

One of my dearest passions is travelling and experiencing other cultures, so I have done a lot of it and lived a while in some unique and wonderful places. In the forefront of ideas for visiting ATM are the Czech Republic (part of my heritage and I've always wanted to see Prague), Egypt (Really into their ancient culture and would love to see the pyramids as well as friends there), and China (trying to learn Mandarin). Closest to my heart is probably Spain, where I lived 3 months and almost didn't come back. The culture just fits me really well, and the country is richly beautiful. Can you tell one oft majors was international studies? Lol | ||

A troll is someone who does not, under any possible set of circumstances, care what you think about him or his comments. He merely wants attention. Negative attention will do. The more you disagree with him, the more he is able to tell himself that he is persecuted and victimized or the only voice of reason or one of the elite few who has the God’s-eye view of the world or whatever his current delusion is. If he isn’t merely a narcissist who thrives on feeling attacked, he’s just some putz who enjoys irritating other people. Therefore, you “feed” the troll by paying any attention to him at all. It does not matter what you say in response. Any response to a troll just encourages the troll. Because trolls. That's why. | ||

The idea of creating life with the person you love and giving birth to a whole new person that is a little bit you and a little bit them is... mind-bogglingly awesome. Experiencing pregnancy and everything that goes with it is something I very much look forward to. BUT: I've been really convicted by the amount of kids out there that don't have families. The idea of looking one of them in the face and saying "sorry, it's more important to me that my baby comes from my belly than that you have loved ones" is...well...mind-bogglingly arresting. I think I've been blessed in that I'm pretty sure it won't matter to me one bit whether my kids are mine genetically or not. That said, I will probably end up having at least one biologically, whether I plan it now or not. ![]() ...and then maybe some foster kids once I'm older and mine are moved out. I love kids.

I met them at their office because my friend won a cellphone due to crossfiyah. (nothing malicious in the picture just a very friendly pic with two beautiful girls) Now the thing is, my girl found the profile picture and told me "I am so jealous of the two girls your with right now." which was a little playful and at the same time a little psychotic. I told her,.. I just wanted to show that I accidentally won the cellphone.. Even thought she already knew that wasn't the case. So I changed the picture as soon as she replied that "I am so jealous of the two girls your with right now." And she began to say "No, it's actually okay.. I know you like being proud of that picture." Does this make me look like a douche to her? I mean, she is really the jealous type and I don't even know if she really hates my ass for it once she saw that picture? No, I think you're fine now. By changing it as soon as she mentioned it, you showed you cared about her feelings. I doubt she's mad. My advice: just do something nice to show her that you're thinking of her today to remind her she's precious to you to seal the deal. | ||

Hmm, do you mean just hook him up with some hot chick in general? Or is there a certain one we're aiming for? And what is your relationship with her if at all? Just meant in general. Hasn't really come up recently but in my past history attempting this, I've scared off a ton of girls. I've pretty much given up on this task as it seems doomed to failure (its better if they just attempt to hit it on their own). But if you have another approach to playing wing woman, I'm open to listening. Hmm, well I guess first you have to find a hot chick that is into meeting a nice, nerdy guy. If she's not looking to meet anyone, or is incredibly shallow and full of herself, she's a waste of time anyway. Then, I just talk my guy friends up and sneakily work things into conversation about how awesome they are and how I'd totally date them, blah blah blah. In my experience, people's perceptions are suprisingly fluid and changeable, as well as easily influenced by the right kind of hints. It's much more effective to make a person *want* to meet and be interested in someone than to get them to do so just by telling them they should. You know, like in 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' where they get the dad to do what they want but only by making him think it's his idea? Other than that, I guess I'd have to know more about the specific guy/situation. ![]() | ||

[Sorry for the delay, Geoff and I went to visit his fam for the weekend and I was too busy doing crafts with his mom to post... lol] The quote is just from this one time, early on in our relationship, when Geoff was mid-game and I decided I wanted attention, so I started flirting and kissing all up on him and trying to seduce him into paying attention to me, and without flinching at all or taking his eyes off the screen, he said "stop it, you're going to hurt your feelings." Something about the way he said it struck me as so funny that I wasn't even mad. So, the winner, in that case, was Starcraft over seduction. | ||

Sorry if I asked too many questions or something ^^; 1. Ummm, off the top of my head- I really despise Britney Spears... or rather, actually, I pity her, and despise the people who made her what she has become. Originally, she was this adorable, wholesome girl with talent, then she became almost solely responsible for the ever-earlier over-sexualization of younger and younger girls, and now she's basically incapable of handling her own life. I mean of course there's Hitler and the like, but I just picked one. 2. I'm really bad at "the most" or "the best" type questions... It takes me forever to make up my mind. Well, I have a deep and affectionate respect for Mother Teresa. I actually spent a few weeks volunteering this past year in Kolkata, India in the same place that she lived and worked and is now entombed. The work she started with just a dream and a whole lot of faith has now made a difference in so many lives, I can't even begin to describe. All she did was love completely and sacrificailly, and that in itself moved mountains. She's been dead years now and yet her legacy itself is still making miracles happen. People talk about her as if she is their best friend who they just saw yesterday, referring to her only as 'Mother.' I feel as though she personally changed my life, and I never even met her. I can only hope to live a life that makes even a shadow of the difference she has made. 3. iloveoov: Sounds cool to say outloud Richard Dawkins: Atheism is a religion Robert Pattinson: IS NOT EDWARD Seth MacFarlane: Meaner than I expected Sarah Palin: Not a good representative of the Miss America program Rekrul: Generous giant <3 Kerrigan: Would be the coolest Halloween costume ever Bill Gates: Seems generous and down to Earth, would love to hang out 9/11 Truthers: *sigh* | ||

Thanks guys! :-* I suppose girls get back tattoos for the same reason as guys do or for the same reason they get them anywhere else. How much they want it to show, how they think it looks with their body type, what part of their body they want to accentuate, whether it will hurt lots there... etc. I'm actually planning one for the muscle along the left side of my spine, mid back maybe up along the shoulder blade. | ||

Would you get one? for example me myself, when i was younger and i saw someone with a tatoo i thought he was like a gangster or some thug like dudes. Now when i see it it seems really common, and a lot of people have it. I would get one if i had something important to show or have the money, but so far nothing yet. Oops! Sorry I missed this one! Well, when I was younger, I thought tattoos were silly. Why would you mark your body permanently when you might change your mind... blah blah blah. Then, my parents split up, I learned a lot about myself, and I made some decisions about who I was going to become out of it, and what I was going to believe in. Through travels and trials and all my experiences, I have learned that sometimes you have to make a risky decision in the hopes that it will take you where you want to go, and then just be ok with dealing with it if you were wrong. Sometimes, that's when the best times of your life happen. I ended up getting Latin script along the inside of my left foot above the arch that read "Dum Spiro Spero" which means "while I breathe, I hope." It was a symbol of a promise to myself that I could never go back on. A permanent mark on my body that symbolized the permanent decision in my heart to believe in love, and to never give up hope, even though I had seen the most trusted love I knew fail. I added some flowers called "eyes of Mary" which symbolize faith, hope, purity... other things I want to have and be. Every time I look at that mark it makes me feel strong in myself. ![]() Anyway, in general I really like tattoos as long as they mean something. Tattoos just for the sake of having one, or people who have them but have no reason to give as to why they got them don't make much sense to me. On guys, tattoos generally=hot. Geoff's are gorgeous, especially the vines on his right shoulder. | ||

I'm actually kind of a bad one to ask this question lol. Being in dance team and pageants and plays have all made me very insesitive to changing in front of other people. In fact, some of my fellow Miss America contestants and I were laughing about how, after a while, you have to remind yourself that it's not acceptable to change in public. Backstage at a pageant, you don't have time to worry that you are running around in your birthday suit with the super quick costume changes and complicated outfits. In general though, like in locker rooms, I try to be as modest as possible as far as it is convenient. You know, keep the towel over me while I dress, that kind of thing. In a show you usually know the people, but I get uncomfortable if I think to hard about what stranger might be looking or whether I might make someone else uncomfortable. | ||

Whats the best way for a man to get his girl to enjoy starcraft as well.. and if thats not impossible the best way to get her to still allow the man play/watch it? 1. This has been asked before I think... It would be awesome and hopefully I could get a job doing media production, doing PR for him (even more than I do now), working in front of a camera, etc. It would be too incredible an adventure no to embrace fully. 2. I answered this early on too... It was a pretty long one so you should check it out. The basic gist of it is that all relationships are give and take. Show an interest in her interests, and then show that you are excited about teaching her about yours. The more you tell her how awesome she is for being supportive of your passions (even if she isn't necessarily), the more likely she is to continue. That said, no girl will be into something that she sees coming before her in a relationship, so make very sure to make it clear to her that she is important, and designate time just to spend with her. Really, women are all about territory. If the girl feels comfortable in her role as special to you, and feels proud of being the kind of girl that is into your interests, she will continue to learn more and get closer to you in the process. | ||

If you're just joking that you will commit suicide if she rejects you. Ask her out on a date (make it very clear it is a romantic date). She will say yes or no, and you will know if she likes you. Then you will either go out with her or move on. 2. If you really mean it that you will suicide if you get rejected by her Don't ask her because there's a good chance you may end your life. Judging by the whole "shes super popular compared to my insignificant existence," I'd say your odds are not good, but there exists some possibility of a "yes" so go ahead and ask. If you're OK with never dating her and just being her friend forever, then you don't have to ask. | ||

Or, if you know you can't handle rejection without doing yourself harm, you get psychological help, and THEN you ask her. Other than that all you can do is pick up clues and make conjectures. | ||

Girls don't like guys who put them on a piedestal and fantasize about how perfect, awesome and unattainable they are (in their imagination). Adress her as a fellow human being and magic will possibly ensue. The point is to believe and convey that there are other women out there but you happen to fancy her at the time being. If she doesn't reciprocate your feelings, no big deal. Because it really isn't. Come from an honest mindset of abundance, because IRL women make up 50% of the world population. Good luck. PS. You're not insignificant. | ||

I love it on many levels. I love that he (relatively) makes a living doing something that he only does because he enjoys it, I love that he likes gaming in general because I do too, and I love that, of all games, he is a master of the one that takes some of the highest skill and intelligence out there. 2. I LOVE it. Again, he's making a living doing something he loves. Honestly, I think he does it for too cheap. I've heard him do numerous sessions, and I've seen the results... lemme tell ya, that kind of instruction and time is worth way more than he's charging. I know why he doesn't, and I respect it, I just mean that I think everyone who takes advantage of it is getting a pretty dang good deal. He actually inspired me to kick my own butt into gear and start promoting my personal communication and performance consulting business, and it's doing really well now!

Another question that will probably be as tough to answer...how can you get any girl to respect said nerdy hobbies/make them more endearing?? No, it isn't hopeless. As to the how, you just be yourself, and stop worrying about it, and you'll fidn that eventually the perfect girl for you will show up just when you least expect it, whether she is pretty and white, or funny looking and purple. Start looking for people who are pretty on the inside first, and I bet you'll find your perfect knockout. I think I've answered this question in different forms many times throughout this thread, so for a more complete answer, I'd look back over the first few pages, but here's the gist: First, some girls will never be into gaming or starcraft, some girls are already. Some girls will like the fact that you spend hours a day doing something else and give her her space, some will be horribly offended. Some will be embarrassed by it, some will think it's cute, and that's just the way it is. Some girls will never be turned, and you just have to decide if you're cool with that, or if it's important to you to have a nerd-girl. ![]() Now, all of that is not to say that "either a girl will accept you how you are or she's not worth the time" NO NO NO. It is just to say that you should always look for someone who is at least open to sharing your interests. The second part is that you MUST find balance in life. Balance between time spent on her interests and your interests, between talking about her likes and your likes, between staring at a computer screen and staring at her. Pour energy into understanding what she likes, as well as telling her about you love about your hobbies, and I think things will fall into place. Explain to her what excites you about the game, and then follow up by askeing if there is anything she does that makes her feel the same way. Find your commonalities, and tell her how much you appreciate knowing a girl who can both support what you do, and introduce you to new things. Bottom line is, women are territorial, and if a game incroaches too much on her territory (that being your time and attention) she will go into prowling lioness mode. Make her feel valuable and interesting, and you'll be fine. | ||

Well, it is not about making yourself different from who you are but more about making your overall life better. It is not about cutting down on what he likes, but instead it is about making him take care of himself and lose his social anxiety.

He would basically be the same person, but a better version than his old self. Edit: Also even though you don't think that you care about the ladder, you really do it unconsciously. Countless studies have proven that people really have no clue on why they perceive others like they do. For example, if you ask people to rate random strangers where they get nothing to go on but appearance in terms of how smart they are, how good parents they would be etc, the good looking people get significantly higher ratings than normal. Another study was about a phone, they had two groups of people, one was showed to phone on a picture. The other group was shown exactly the same picture with the phone but with a hot woman next to it. When asked afterwards what they thought about the phone the ones who had seen it with the woman rated it significantly higher than those who had just seen the phone. The most interesting one is though this one: The test person goes up an elevator to meet a guy. In this elevator they are asked to hold a drink. Half of them got to hold an icecold drink and the other half got to hold the warm one. Then everyone talked with the same person. Afterwards they were asked if they would hire this guy. Those who had held the cold drink (and thus had just had an unpleasant experience before the talk) had a very negative view on this guy while those who had just hold the warm one was very positive about the whole thing. Humans wants to believe that what you say is true, that people aren't biased, that we just want to find our other half. But there is no magic to it. You are however completely right on that you should never ever try to get girls by hiding/faking interests. | ||

You are however completely right on that you should never ever try to get girls by hiding/faking interests. Yeah dude, sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I thought your post was wrong, just kind of that, there are plenty of people with plenty of ideas on what will make you the most attractive or desirable, but following all that advice really won't necessarily get you anywhere, and what will is developing yourself to your own personal fullest potential. For most people, that would probably include eating better, working out, and socializing more. For some, it might not though! Focusing on studies of how people will see you based on whether you do this or that, or looking at polls to find out what women find most attractive, and then practicing those things with the sole intent of coming across as more desirable will only, in my opinion, make you come across as more fake and, at least to me, less attractive. I've met my share of those guys, and though I might chat with them at a bar or something, maybe even flirt, they're not the kind I'll ever call back. Just telling you form my own personal, womanly experience. I guess I'm just trying to talk about the general, bigger picture...but definitely not saying your advice was at all bad! | ||

Her talent was probably the best in the finals (I love that song and her version of it gave me chills), but her evening gown was super fugly and didn't fit her right imo. SInce I didn't see her judges interview, I can't tell you much of what I think about her personality or commitment to community service, but I actually thought her onstage answer was pretty weak. As an interview coach and coming from a communication background, I was cringing as she told all the celebrity judges (many of whom have made their living on TV) that we should "get rid of TV" in order to combat childhood obesity. Hello! Consider your audience! I didn't think she really supported it enough to be that bold, but it was a fairly well-stated and convicted answer, and since the judges aren't supposed ot judge her on her opinion, but on how she presents her opinion, I suppose it's kudos to them. Obviously, I think Miss Oregon was the best choice, but one thing I have learned from experience is that, at that level, the women are all so frickin' amazing that they would all do an amazing job, and the results really come down to somewhat of a crapshoot. Different judges, different night, different result, I guarantee it. A good example of this is that I actually beat both the last two Miss Oregons in local competition, but they beat me at the state level. Such is the way of subjective sports, which is why you really have to do it because you believe in a cause and you want the experience, not because you need the crown. | ||

This is probably the most straight-forward and narrowed down advice of awesome that I have seen in recent times. Now if everyone did this, depression and anxiety rates would sink like a stone in water. Socializing is underrated. We need other people in our lives in order to be happy (most of us do anyways...). Everyone should "work out". It's a pretty funny construction actually; our bodies are made for work and are capable of doing pretty hardcore endurance and strength stuff. Working out balances transmittor substances and catecholamines (stress hormones); epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin etc. Proper nutrition makes your body and mind function in an optimal way. Cut back on the carbs and add plenty of green veggies and leafs in there with the meat and fat. Get your minerals too. (zink, magnesium). 3 simple pointers for a better life. | ||

I come at it from two sides: one that prides herself on being a progressive and educated linguist, and one whose experience will never allow her to so much as hear the word rape without being affected. On the one hand, I understand the natural progression of language that allows for words like rape to have completely different connotations in the gaming world than anywhere else. I understand that it is part of the culture, and that no commentator/gamer/kid in their mom's basement really means that they want to force themselves on another person sexually when they are describing the results of a match. I get that, in it's own way, using terms like "rape" are actually a way of building a social identity and of defining a subculture. All that said, I still type the word "rape," then read it back and get warm all over. My hands start to shake and my cheeks get red. My eyes get glassy and my body pulls into itself in every possible way. I cross my ankles and tuck them under my chair. I feel as though everyone is looking at me, even though I'm practically alone in a downtown office. My face feels like it isn't my own, and the way my very physical insides react make me feel dirty, guilty, afraid, and unworthy. You can academize the word "rape" all you want. But it will never, ever stop meaning the same thing to those who have ever seen, heard, or experienced it, or loved someone who has. It doesn't make me mad at you, I won't get up in arms to stop everyone from ever using it again, but when I hear it... I guess I just assume the person saying it has never taken the time or the heart to really, truly, understand what they are saying to one in four women and I-don't-know-how-many men. I get it, I really do... but, as of yet, that still hasn't even come close to making it ok. | ||

As a man, I know I don't like have to qualify things I say to other people with my gender. I don't mean that in a snarky way, I just honestly think it's pretty unfair to have your personal opinions get used to generalize your sex, and I wonder if after awhile you just get used to male-centric forums doing that to you. Degrading? No, not necessarily. If it's coming from the direction of "Well, you only think that because you're a woman" or "You couldn't possibly understand, you're a girl" or even "I know what you think because you are a woman" then yes, of course. But I am of the opinion that gender does inescapably influence your point of view. It follows, then, that if I'm explaining something from a "woman's point of view," it could be valuable to someone who doesn't see the world through the same lens as I do. As long as there isn't discrimination involved, I think that recognizing our unique frames of reference (woman, American, young, educated, etc.) is usually helpful in promoting understanding! ...as long as the other party is listening. ![]() | ||

I took a pledge to stop eating meat for a month around earth day and I've been having bacon dreams =/ vegetarian pizza is amazing but vegetarian burgers just dont cut it for someone who had the real thing not too long ago I'm kind of a bad person to ask on replacement meat, cause I have been a vegetarian so long that I don't even like fake meat. Meat at this almost 10 year mark, tastes really weird and gross to me. (Bacon, however, is the one thing that still always looks pretty good for some reason lol) There actually are vegan/vegetarian imitations of almost every meat, including bacon. One of the best imitations are vegetarian corn dogs. Holy cow were those good! I remember loving them. The basic stuff like that you can get at any store, but you may have to find special grocers or order on-line for the meatiest of imitations. (One I found right away that looks legit is http://store.veganessentials.com/meat-alternatives-c67.aspx) Luckily, in the area I live, we're all hippies and there are indie vegan groceries within walking distance. A fairly widespread brand that does vegan pre-made meals is "Amy's." They're pretty tasty and I bet you could find them at a chain like whole foods or easily buy online. In terms of food that is satisfying, I recommend lots of rice-and-beans based meals. Rice and beans represent a complete protein, which is really important when you are a vegetarian, plus that combo tends to keep you full and not feeling dissatisfied. I, for example, eat a TON of Fresh-Mex (Qdoba is LIFE) and Indian food. It's also good to have eggs on hand, and you'll be suprised how many meals you can sub eggs into. An egg on a sandwich instead of deli meat with some cream cheese or provolone is SUPER delicious (iNc even asks me to make him these all the time). I make kind of a scrambled egg and cheese patty with diced green peppers in it, put cream cheese on the bread, slice up tomatoes, cucumbers, and add those, and then sometimes add spinach or whatever else, and ohhhh man. Delicious. You can even just make a deli sandwich however you would, and put an egg instead of meat, spiced however you like. yum. Snacks are also good to keep you from being peckish throughout the day (also to keep your metabolism up), and since you're going to need to be aware of your protein intake, I recommend almonds or something. I could go on, but hopefully that gives you a good start... if you are curious about anything else specifically, let me know! | ||

(though I have seen him play all sorts of bully games with my poor little dog that I think are pretty dumb) Umm, I can't really think many of the games he plays that are childish or dumb... but I can tell you a funny story - recently Geoff has been finishing up Dead Space on the PS3. As you know, he's a pretty big, manly dude...one that is not too easily scared. Well, the other day, he was playing in my little gaming cave room, in the dark, and I was going about some other business across the house. I came over to the door of the room to ask him a question and he didn't notice till I spoke. No sooner had "hey honey..." left my mouth when he jumped, recoiled in fear, and sat curled up looking at me with the widest eyes I have ever seen. He looked like the scared little street urchin boy that Aladdin gives the bread to in the Disney movie. I laughed soooo hard. And he wasn't even ashamed. "This is really scary." He said, as a zombie little girl started singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in the background while he powered off the PS3. I've never seen him have to work so hard to come back to reality and know we weren't about to be attacked by the disembodied. ![]() I'll think some more about the worst game though, I've got to have some good stories there. And thank you for saying we're cute. I like this thread too, and will be better able to keep in going now that I have a computer that works, if you guys still enjoy it. ![]() | ||

In short, women love to feel like they are valuable, and that special attention is paid to their wants, needs and feelings. If you can tell her "Wow, it's so awesome to be around a girl who actually shows an interest in my hobbies" or "I love being around you so much, I want you to be involved in everything I do!" She might be more amenable to learning all about proleague, etc. Just be sure to start by explaining the exciting basics to her, and then affirming her when she understands/participates like "Wow, you catch on quick, it's so hot to hear a girl talk rpg!" Then, you MUST balance it out by being interested in the things she does that might be hard for you to get into or understand. Never expect her to put in more effort if you are not willing to do the same! The truth is, depending on the girl, she may just never really be into watching or playing SC. In that case, it's important to find things that you can do simultaneously. Maybe she likes playing another game while you watch proleague, maybe she likes ot read/watch movies. Whatever it is, set up an environment where she can do something she likes alongside you while you watch/play. For Geoff and I at first, for example, I would lay on his bed and play DS while he laddered. Eventually I got curoius and wanted to be a part of the community. Women are all different, but in general, we all just want to feel like we are important and desirable. If Starcraft can be a part of that, then I'd say we are more likely to participate. EDIT: and yes, of course you can ask more than one question! | ||

Soccer is probably my favorite sport to watch, and I got even more into it when I was living in Spain, but I guess I'm not really rooting for anyone in particular in the World Cup atm, just enjoying watching when I can. I don't have TV/cable at my house so unfortunately it was hard to get too into it this year. The vuvuzelas are fascinating. I have a lot of friends in South Africa, so it would be fun to get even more of their perspective, but I kinda like that everyone is freaking out about them. I like anything that is a unique cultural phenomena (read: International Studies Major) and I think deep down I feel like Africa is such the bullied kid that even the most annoying little poke back at the rest of the world brings me a certain degree of glee. As far as the players, I kinda look at it like showbiz: it doesn't matter if your sick, or there's an annoying audience, or there is a distracting sound, the show must go on! That's what makes you a real performer, and, in may ways, a real athlete. In terms of movies, there are a few (Geoff and I love to go to the movies, midnight showings are kind of our "thing." But in the near future we are really pumped about 'Inception.' We're both enthralled by the power of ideas, and a movie based on the theft of ideas is something we both geek out about. Plus we both think Leonardo DiCaprio has become a freakin amazing actor. | ||

So it has to be a pretty big deal for him to get mad enough for him to risk a real, dangerous assault that could not only seriously injure a person, but possibly bring charges against him. I guess that makes sense. I still think it'd be sexy to watch him pwn someone for my honor though. *shrug* What woman doesn't? I'm just one to admit it straight out. ![]() | ||

Considering how many thousands of users there are on TL, it's hard to say I have any one opinion of them... in general though I would say (probably with a hug "DUH") that I think many people have an online persona that is completely different from the way they act IRL. Geoff is a good example of one who used to be like that... when he had nothing to lose he said what he wanted just to get a reaction, for fun, and now, with the birth and growth of his coaching/casting/etc career, he has had to keep it more professional, and now posts a lot more like he would actually relate to you in person. I'd say. People usually react with astonishment when I explain to them how big of a deal Starcraft is. It takes them a minute to believe how much pros get paid in Korea, and that, even here in the US, Geoff makes his living playing a "video game." | ||

We don't, but both of us eventually want to have kids after we're married. We actually had a really lengthy talk last night about adoption vs. having biological kids. I've long been mulling over the idea that, yes, I think that pregnancy and giving birth and having a mini-us would be just about the most amazing life experience I can think of... but conversely, if I think of looking into the eyes of a child who has no family and saying: "It's more important to me that my kid has my blood than that you ever have a family, or maybe even a future at all" ... well I start to feel like sacrificing that desire in order to adopt may be an invaluable life experience just the same. I completely understand that most people probably wouldn't be ok with missing out on making their own kid... but for me, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I could love an adopted kid just as much as a biological one. So why contribute to the overpopulation of the world? ...To carry on a bloodline, I know... but aren't family ties more important than blood? Geoff said he would love to adopt, but has to have at least one of his own - that of course we could talk about it, but it's not something he feels like he could compromise on. I guess I've always thought that, even if I did adopt, somewhere along the line my husband and I would probably get pregnant too. Who knows... maybe I've been playing devil's advocate on this one so long that I'm just being naive. To think of a baby with a little of me and a little of him is a pretty powerful thought. Either way, 3 I think. | ||

I've actually wrestled with it before. Geoff and I did break up at one point, a couple years ago, and I didn't show up much on TL after that for a few reasons. First of all... it's kid of his sanctuary, in a way, and at that point my presence seemed to be pretty painful for him, so I stayed away. It was also fairly hard for me, running into him (so to speak) in the forums, so I bet there was an ounce of self-preservation there too. I'm pretty invested in the e-sports world, but without Geoff, ...well... I feel like I have less of a right. I mean, I would die of happiness to use my MC/hosting/casting skills professionally in the gaming world, but right now most of the reason people even let me is because I'm around... and that's because of Geoff. ( I promise I'm really good in front of a camera, so whoever wants to give a start to the future premiere host of the gaming world... step right up. ![]() I dunno, what do you guys think, if Geoff and I were to break up, would it be better for me to stick around, or leave it to him?

I'm glad you are liking what I've written so far! Hehe, I actually love telling people about how Geoff and I started. We met when we were both members of the speech team at our university. I was somewhat of an individual event star and he was the same on the parliamentary debate side. We eventually became co-captains, and people jokingly called us "Mommy and Daddy" of the debate team. When I look back though, and try to think of where the very first spark of my interest in him was struck...one moment sticks out in my mind. Our team was full of drama. I assume it's the same on most speech teams, but our coaches were jerks, our teammates ranged from premadonnas to emo kids... and there was always some kind of huge issue going on. Geoff and I, for our part, hated the drama, and could usually be found off to the side somewhere, waiting for the storm to blow over. We were friends enough at that point, but only to the extent that we were teammates, like co-workers. Well, at this one particular tournament, things got really bad. I don't even remember what the issue was... I think it was something as stupid and routine as no-one could agree on where to go for dinner. Geoff and I were both sitting at this little two-person table in some cafeteria, and we got trapped when the team literally surrounded us and began to throw the drama bombs at each other over our heads. I was miserable. I like to smile, I like everyone to be okay, and I was stressing. I looked at Geoff and we rolled our eyes together. Looking at him and seeing someone on the same page as me in all that chaos made me feel a little better. Then, out of the blue and lightening-quick, while still maintaining eye contact with me, Geoff reached out, grabbed a napkin from the dispenser in the center of the table, and ate it. Just STUFFED it in his mouth, and then sat there like nothing had happened. He did it so quick that none of the people over our heads had any idea what had happened. I started laughing hysterically, and when they looked at him for an answer to why, he just shrugged as if he had no idea. For some reason, probably the stress of the moment, I laughed till I cried, so hard and so long that eventually they forgot what they were fighting about and the evening became pleasant. Oddly enough, I think it was then that I realized, hey... this guy is pretty awesome. It was after that that we began to spend a little time together outside team events. Soon, we went to the library together to study, and ended up deep in conversation. After I thought about an hour had gone by, my goody-goody conscience got the better of me and I said something to the effect of "Geez, we'd better get to studying, we've probably been putting it off by talking for like, an hour!" He laughed and looked at his watch, then looked back at me, shocked. We had been talking for five hours, and both of us had been enjoying it so much, that niether of us had ANY idea. I can't think of another time in my life where I have had such an innacurate perception of time. The library closed about 15 minutes later. We didn't get any studying done. ![]() ![]() During that conversation, the fact that I sew had come up, and Geoff had asked if I wouldn't mind fixing his dress pants that he wore for speech tournaments. He had like, ripped the back pocket or something. I was thinking about our conversation often, and finally decided to see what was really there. Using all my womanly wiles, I constructed a text message about his pants. It was ripe with just the right amount of innuendo... a test, if you will. Enough to give him the opportunity to show interest, but little enough that I could claim I never meant it if he wouldn't bite. ![]() lol...I actually have that text message conversation written down somewhere. If I could find it, would you guys be interested in seeing it? ( I guess I'd have to make sure it was ok with iNc first.) | ||

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question, but I love camping and have done it for more than 3 days at a time. I like the coast, and usually go there, but I love backpacking in forest/lake/mountain settings... haven't done that in a long time though and would like to. Also during the summer I used to sleep outside in my neighbor's treehouse all the time when I was young. Such a fun combination of adventure/a little scary, while still being home. ![]() | ||

But after reading the strip it just fueled and lengthened my laugh. I literally lost my mind for a good minute ![]() How is Miss USA competition going?

2. Is there anything honorable about someone turning themselves into the police if they've committed a crime? If yes, give a thorough and convincing explanation as to why. Assume the punishment would not be reduced simply because the person turned themselves in. 3. Fast forward to 2050. Assume that fetuses can be safely genetically modified. Would there be anything morally wrong with changing out a few genes to make a baby smarter? 4. What would the ideal system of welfare look like? | ||

Since taking down the title as "Best Woman in Oregon," what are your future ambitions? I assume they include "Best Woman in America," aka Ms. America, and ending world hunger, but besides the obvious, where do you see yourself heading? Should we expect to see Geoff standing next to you as you run for public office or in the background at a Save the Whales rally? I heard that Geoff back-talked you once, so you threw him out of a moving vehicle and he has never since complained about going on picnics. Do you care to comment on this rumor? Lastly, what tips do you have for a "normie," such as myself, looking to become a super-person such as yourself or Geoff? Do we have any hope of transcending the monotony of the everyday or must we simply content ourselves with knowing that y'all exist and may one day take pity on us? Sincerely, Doug | ||

I'm glad you are liking what I've written so far! Hehe, I actually love telling people about how Geoff and I started. We met when we were both members of the speech team at our university. I was somewhat of an individual event star and he was the same on the parliamentary debate side. We eventually became co-captains, and people jokingly called us "Mommy and Daddy" of the debate team. When I look back though, and try to think of where the very first spark of my interest in him was struck...one moment sticks out in my mind. Our team was full of drama. I assume it's the same on most speech teams, but our coaches were jerks, our teammates ranged from premadonnas to emo kids... and there was always some kind of huge issue going on. Geoff and I, for our part, hated the drama, and could usually be found off to the side somewhere, waiting for the storm to blow over. We were friends enough at that point, but only to the extent that we were teammates, like co-workers. Well, at this one particular tournament, things got really bad. I don't even remember what the issue was... I think it was something as stupid and routine as no-one could agree on where to go for dinner. Geoff and I were both sitting at this little two-person table in some cafeteria, and we got trapped when the team literally surrounded us and began to throw the drama bombs at each other over our heads. I was miserable. I like to smile, I like everyone to be okay, and I was stressing. I looked at Geoff and we rolled our eyes together. Looking at him and seeing someone on the same page as me in all that chaos made me feel a little better. Then, out of the blue and lightening-quick, while still maintaining eye contact with me, Geoff reached out, grabbed a napkin from the dispenser in the center of the table, and ate it. Just STUFFED it in his mouth, and then sat there like nothing had happened. He did it so quick that none of the people over our heads had any idea what had happened. I started laughing hysterically, and when they looked at him for an answer to why, he just shrugged as if he had no idea. For some reason, probably the stress of the moment, I laughed till I cried, so hard and so long that eventually they forgot what they were fighting about and the evening became pleasant. Oddly enough, I think it was then that I realized, hey... this guy is pretty awesome. It was after that that we began to spend a little time together outside team events. Soon, we went to the library together to study, and ended up deep in conversation. After I thought about an hour had gone by, my goody-goody conscience got the better of me and I said something to the effect of "Geez, we'd better get to studying, we've probably been putting it off by talking for like, an hour!" He laughed and looked at his watch, then looked back at me, shocked. We had been talking for five hours, and both of us had been enjoying it so much, that niether of us had ANY idea. I can't think of another time in my life where I have had such an innacurate perception of time. The library closed about 15 minutes later. We didn't get any studying done. ![]() ![]() During that conversation, the fact that I sew had come up, and Geoff had asked if I wouldn't mind fixing his dress pants that he wore for speech tournaments. He had like, ripped the back pocket or something. I was thinking about our conversation often, and finally decided to see what was really there. Using all my womanly wiles, I constructed a text message about his pants. It was ripe with just the right amount of innuendo... a test, if you will. Enough to give him the opportunity to show interest, but little enough that I could claim I never meant it if he wouldn't bite. ![]() lol...I actually have that text message conversation written down somewhere. If I could find it, would you guys be interested in seeing it? ( I guess I'd have to make sure it was ok with iNc first.) I'd be interesting in seeing the text. I'm surprised more people didn't ask you to find it already.

It's taken me a while to find time to sit down long enough to think and write them out! 1. There are a lot of laws that remove personal choice for the sake of safety. I understand that each of us is ultimately responsible for our own well-being, and the feeling that we shouldn't have laws telling us how safe we should be. When you drill down through a lot of those laws though, they are really also put in place to protect others, beyond the choice and consequences of that one individual (think smoking laws, etc.). A car crash is traumatic no matter what the outcome. If a person dies (much more likely without a seatbelt), it affects everyone involved. Being inadvertently responsible for another's death can ruin a person for life. I personally am grateful for a law that requires people both to keep themselves safe, and to protect others in the case of tragedy. 2. Yes, because taking personal responsibility for your actions is the honorable thing to do. Being a part of a society and enjoying it's benefits constitutes an agreement to live by it's rules. Breaking those rules brings consequences, with which we are all familiar and which give us the opportunity to evaluate the costs and benefits of our actions. If a person deems it worth the price to commit a crime, they should be willing to face the consequences. Most people aren't. Those who are, like those who would turn themselves in, are honorable in that sense. To be frank, though, a "thorough and convincing argument" to this point would include a full discussion of the definition of honor, which, at the moment, I don't have time to provide. Sorry! 3. The question certainly makes me uneasy. I am not one to prescribe to the theory of "medicine shouldn't work to improve the quality of people's lives because God wants them just the way they are," - I think that God gave us the ability to practice medicine for a reason - but when we start to talk about altering someone's genetic code... especially when it goes beyond preventative medicine and into changing the very qualities of a human being, like their intelligence and thus, their personality... it makes me nervous. Especially considering how relatively little we actually do know about the human brain, and the many times history has proven that when we play with life at this level, we mess up (think shock treatments for mental illness), I forsee there being some serious medical and psychological ramifications to altering intelligence. Beyond that, I think the other piece (and perhaps to me the even more worrysome one) that would be the most cataclysmic as the result of that development would be the societal effects. All of a sudden you have a group of people who are medically determined to be more intelligent than the rest. How are they treated? What kind of power will they be given? Assuming that it will be the upper class who can afford such a treatment, how will that affect the stratification of society, wealth, and power? Will it disadvantage the older generations and the impoverished? It's a fascinating subject...sounds like a good sci-fi movie, but a scary reality. 4. A "teach a man to fish" system that provides aid only to the end that it also provides education and rehabilitation to get individuals and families back on track to become self-sustaining. "Focus on education" is, I think, a good answer to a lot of tough questions. | ||

Well, luckily girls at that age are usually a few years ahead of their male counterparts as far as maturity level, but just be careful. At that age for both genders, but especially I would say for females, it's easy to let your heart run away with you. My advice would be to remember that you are still young, and treat each other accordingly. Have fun, do lots of activities instead of just sitting home together (that will keep her feeling special and entertained), and consider each step carefully before you get too serious. Every time you give a piece of your heart away, it stays with that person, and that's easy to do in the mid-teens. (Hear that? It sounds like the voice of experience...) 2.Dude, I LOVE when guys wear pants that fit their butt well. Don't give me any of that saggy, flat backside crap. Wear them baggy, sure, but do that derriere credit por favor! That's just the first thing that comes to mind... I probably notice first whether a guy is wearing an outfit that looks "put together," meaning that he put some thought into assembling an outfit, not just grabbed the first thing he saw on the floor and threw on the sneakers he wears every day. I mean, I'll even go so far as to say that I like a little touch of metro in my men. Manly style is sexy. edit: added numbers for clarity lol | ||

Actually, my grandpa went into the icu and passed away over thanksgiving, so, for my family, this year's Thanksgiving holiday was a strange mix of pain, sorrow, loving memory, and celebration of life. I will remember it always as the most meaningful thanksgiving of my life. I saw for myself what it means to leave a legacy - to be a 'great' man. My grandfather spent his whole life building, caring for, and focusing on his family - so much so that I don't think any of us really even realized the extent until we looked back in retrospect. He was never looking for praise or even thanks. He was funny, but quiet, and went about his business quite a bit behind the scenes. I knew he was a good man... but as I put together a slideshow of pictures to memorialize his life for his funeral, and realized that not a single one was taken without family around him, I saw the statement of a man who knew his purpose, lived it relentlessly, and made a real impact on the world all without demanding a moment's recognition. Many of us say we "want to make a difference," and we think of making big societal changes, or using fame and influence to impact the world... but I now see that power to make a difference can come in quieter packages than that. I am who I am because of him. I am here because of his decision to build our family, I am strong because he led the way in supporting my every endeavor, and I am proud, because he let me know that, no matter what I did, he was always very, very proud of me. The parts of him that live on in me will help me got forth and do my part to make a difference - and that is my grandfather's quiet legacy. | ||

![]() Edit: I guess I may as well add a question. A little back story to why I'm asking: I was on vacation recently, and while hanging out with my cousin, his wife, and her friend, we made comments on the length of this girl's skirt in a commercial and I noticed everyone had different thoughts on it. I was in the "my daughter would not be allowed out of the house" crowd, whereas my cousin's wife thought it was a little too short, and her friend thought it was perfect. It was probably mid thigh length. So, I'm curious, as a female, what is your idea of decency when it comes to dress? | ||

Obviously you are now visible in the SC2 community what with your interviewing and SotG appearances and suchlike. But I was wondering, do you play SC2 yourself and if you do do you have recognizable name eg. uNcontroLable? If you game "undercover" - do you ever let on you are not a boy? Eg. when people on bnet talk about you presuming you are a boy, or say something about girl gamers or whatever. Do you let it go, or say something, and/or how do you feel about it? Please more interviewing! They were cool. glgl! Edit: And, sorry to hear about your grandpa. | ||

Assume the punishment would not be reduced simply because the person turned themselves in. 3. Fast forward to 2050. Assume that fetuses can be safely genetically modified. Would there be anything morally wrong with changing out a few genes to make a baby smarter? 4. What would the ideal system of welfare look like? These are all such loaded questions! It's taken me a while to find time to sit down long enough to think and write them out! 1. There are a lot of laws that remove personal choice for the sake of safety. I understand that each of us is ultimately responsible for our own well-being, and the feeling that we shouldn't have laws telling us how safe we should be. When you drill down through a lot of those laws though, they are really also put in place to protect others, beyond the choice and consequences of that one individual (think smoking laws, etc.). A car crash is traumatic no matter what the outcome. If a person dies (much more likely without a seatbelt), it affects everyone involved. Being inadvertently responsible for another's death can ruin a person for life. I personally am grateful for a law that requires people both to keep themselves safe, and to protect others in the case of tragedy. 2. Yes, because taking personal responsibility for your actions is the honorable thing to do. Being a part of a society and enjoying it's benefits constitutes an agreement to live by it's rules. Breaking those rules brings consequences, with which we are all familiar and which give us the opportunity to evaluate the costs and benefits of our actions. If a person deems it worth the price to commit a crime, they should be willing to face the consequences. Most people aren't. Those who are, like those who would turn themselves in, are honorable in that sense. To be frank, though, a "thorough and convincing argument" to this point would include a full discussion of the definition of honor, which, at the moment, I don't have time to provide. Sorry! 3. The question certainly makes me uneasy. I am not one to prescribe to the theory of "medicine shouldn't work to improve the quality of people's lives because God wants them just the way they are," - I think that God gave us the ability to practice medicine for a reason - but when we start to talk about altering someone's genetic code... especially when it goes beyond preventative medicine and into changing the very qualities of a human being, like their intelligence and thus, their personality... it makes me nervous. Especially considering how relatively little we actually do know about the human brain, and the many times history has proven that when we play with life at this level, we mess up (think shock treatments for mental illness), I forsee there being some serious medical and psychological ramifications to altering intelligence. Beyond that, I think the other piece (and perhaps to me the even more worrysome one) that would be the most cataclysmic as the result of that development would be the societal effects. All of a sudden you have a group of people who are medically determined to be more intelligent than the rest. How are they treated? What kind of power will they be given? Assuming that it will be the upper class who can afford such a treatment, how will that affect the stratification of society, wealth, and power? Will it disadvantage the older generations and the impoverished? It's a fascinating subject...sounds like a good sci-fi movie, but a scary reality. 4. A "teach a man to fish" system that provides aid only to the end that it also provides education and rehabilitation to get individuals and families back on track to become self-sustaining. "Focus on education" is, I think, a good answer to a lot of tough questions. Thanks for taking to the time to respond. 1. Interesting answer, I've actually never fully considered that aspect. 2. It seems that your definition of "honorable" is needed. PM me it if you have time. 3. Here is the video the question is based off of, which may explain some of your unease: http://fora.tv/2008/07/17/The_Case_Against_Perfection_Michael_Sandel 4. Good answer. A few more Qs: -What did you get for Christmas? -How long would you want to live if you physicaly aged at a rate 5 times slower than normal? -How would you go about disproving polytheism (I'm assuming you're a monotheist)? -What's your favorite book? | ||

I'm glad you are liking what I've written so far! Hehe, I actually love telling people about how Geoff and I started. We met when we were both members of the speech team at our university. I was somewhat of an individual event star and he was the same on the parliamentary debate side. We eventually became co-captains, and people jokingly called us "Mommy and Daddy" of the debate team. When I look back though, and try to think of where the very first spark of my interest in him was struck...one moment sticks out in my mind. Our team was full of drama. I assume it's the same on most speech teams, but our coaches were jerks, our teammates ranged from premadonnas to emo kids... and there was always some kind of huge issue going on. Geoff and I, for our part, hated the drama, and could usually be found off to the side somewhere, waiting for the storm to blow over. We were friends enough at that point, but only to the extent that we were teammates, like co-workers. Well, at this one particular tournament, things got really bad. I don't even remember what the issue was... I think it was something as stupid and routine as no-one could agree on where to go for dinner. Geoff and I were both sitting at this little two-person table in some cafeteria, and we got trapped when the team literally surrounded us and began to throw the drama bombs at each other over our heads. I was miserable. I like to smile, I like everyone to be okay, and I was stressing. I looked at Geoff and we rolled our eyes together. Looking at him and seeing someone on the same page as me in all that chaos made me feel a little better. Then, out of the blue and lightening-quick, while still maintaining eye contact with me, Geoff reached out, grabbed a napkin from the dispenser in the center of the table, and ate it. Just STUFFED it in his mouth, and then sat there like nothing had happened. He did it so quick that none of the people over our heads had any idea what had happened. I started laughing hysterically, and when they looked at him for an answer to why, he just shrugged as if he had no idea. For some reason, probably the stress of the moment, I laughed till I cried, so hard and so long that eventually they forgot what they were fighting about and the evening became pleasant. Oddly enough, I think it was then that I realized, hey... this guy is pretty awesome. It was after that that we began to spend a little time together outside team events. Soon, we went to the library together to study, and ended up deep in conversation. After I thought about an hour had gone by, my goody-goody conscience got the better of me and I said something to the effect of "Geez, we'd better get to studying, we've probably been putting it off by talking for like, an hour!" He laughed and looked at his watch, then looked back at me, shocked. We had been talking for five hours, and both of us had been enjoying it so much, that niether of us had ANY idea. I can't think of another time in my life where I have had such an innacurate perception of time. The library closed about 15 minutes later. We didn't get any studying done. ![]() ![]() During that conversation, the fact that I sew had come up, and Geoff had asked if I wouldn't mind fixing his dress pants that he wore for speech tournaments. He had like, ripped the back pocket or something. I was thinking about our conversation often, and finally decided to see what was really there. Using all my womanly wiles, I constructed a text message about his pants. It was ripe with just the right amount of innuendo... a test, if you will. Enough to give him the opportunity to show interest, but little enough that I could claim I never meant it if he wouldn't bite. ![]() lol...I actually have that text message conversation written down somewhere. If I could find it, would you guys be interested in seeing it? ( I guess I'd have to make sure it was ok with iNc first.) I'd be interesting in seeing the text. I'm surprised more people didn't ask you to find it already.

On December 02 2010 03:19 devil` wrote: I didn't read the whole thread so sorry if this was asked before, but what is your favorite game that you ever played? And do you know a lot about starcraft? It depends on what genre and by what criteria, but my first impulse is to say Kingdom Hearts. I love rpgs, I love Disney, I liked that it had a good mix of puzzles/battles, and I have a lot of sentimental value assigned to it, as I played it a ton with both my sister (also a total gamer... possibly - even though I hate to admit it - more so than me) and with Geoff. To be honest, also, it seems to be that my enjoyment of any particular game is directly correlated with how colorful the graphics are. I think part of the reason I don't get into many shooters is that I get so tired of looking at different shades of gray and taupe. Don't judge me, I'm an artist at the core. So, as one of the more colorful games out there, Kingdom Hearts kept my attention well. ![]() In terms of respect, I'll tell any one that Starcraft is hands down one of the most challenging games to master and that, in terms of pro gaming, I would choose to be an SC2 pro if I could. For my life personally, the challenge has just been finding enough time to really get good at it. In terms of what I enjoy playing right now, Starcraft is probably at the head of games I enjoy devoting time to, but Geoff just got me an Xbox with Kinect for Christmas, and lemme tell ya, I'm kicking serious booty in Dance Central these days. ![]() Do I know a lot about Starcraft? Well, "a lot" is certainly relative. No, because obviously I don't know enough to be a competitive player at this point, but yes, in that I love the game enough and have spent enough time around it to be fairly well-versed in the mechanics, concerns, and topics surrounding it. I always tell people that, when it comes to Starcraft, what I lack in skill I make up for in passion. | ||

On the hair, it depends. Stuff like this: + Show Spoiler + ![]() Blech. Stuff like this: + Show Spoiler + ![]() I'll be honest... that's getting to a point that I could run my fingers through. (Quiet Geoff.) 2. Skinny jeans - You know, I just don't have as much of a problem with them as a lot of people seem to. My only requirement is that they fit, and thus compliment the person. One of my number one fashion tips: People wear clothes, clothes should not wear you. If the article of clothing looks good, but doesn't make you look good, you shouldn't wear it. Skinny jeans have a very bad tendency to sag and make guys butts look saggy... and of course run the risk of looking chicken leggy. I like my muscly man legs. So, in summary, if you can make em look sexy, sure... otherwise stick to some well-fitted boot cuts. mm. 3. Yep, I am waiting till marriage to have sex. 4. No, we're not married. 5-6. The question of "Where's the line between sex and not sex?" is one to which you're going to get many different answers from many different people, all of whom have good minds and hearts. iNc and I even have some views on that issue that are dissimilar. My best answer is this: becoming intimate with someone is not just a physical act. It is impossible to have that kind of physical closeness with someone without experiencing certain psychological (and, in my opinion, spiritual) effects. Many of us would like to believe we are immune to those effects, but it's proven simply not true. At the heart of any decision to remain abstinent from any sexual act, then, is the desire to keep that intimacy sacred, to give that part of our hearts and minds as a valuable gift: to save it for "the one." In my mind, when you look at it that way (my mind, body, and heart are precious - and the intimacy that gives others access to them is a valuable commodity) it becomes less about "where can and can't he put that" and more about "who is worthy, what is a soul mate, and when I find them, what can I give them that will be really truly special?" On that note, though, the whole idea of "well, I gave it up already so I might as well do it with whoever because I'll never be a virgin again" is, in my opinion, silly. Virginity is mostly a state of mind and soul, anyway. We choose how we guard our hearts. The physical piece is only a conduit. From a less socio-emotional [read: girly] standpoint: I think, Biblically, a lot of those "rules" were put in place to guide humans in living a healthy lifestyle not only socially, mentally, and emotionally, but, in many cases, primarily physically. Monogamy exposes you to far less risk of disease, hands down. In the Bilblical world (before they knew anything about STDs), as well as now (when they are terrifyingly rampant), choosing carefully those with whom you share any type of bodily contact is a very, very good idea - regardless of which parts of that body are the ones doing the touching. 7. I never saw The Ring, actually. ...unless you mean "the ring" as a metaphor for marriage, and a horse as an iNcontroL-made metaphor for sexuality... in which case you may be asking me if marriage takes all the fun out of sex to which I would reply... heh heh heh... NO. You have NO idea. ![]() | ||

How does it feel to win at something important? If your personality, morals, values and such aren't exactly the most friendly or social, would you recommend changing yourself to be more sociable or friendly, or toughing it out until you find similar people. Compromise? As in fake it? Where do you draw the line of being shallow. Is there a limit at all? Like gigantic nose, or lazy eye. | ||

My grandmother recently passed as well, so this holiday season is...yeah. ![]() Edit: I guess I may as well add a question. A little back story to why I'm asking: I was on vacation recently, and while hanging out with my cousin, his wife, and her friend, we made comments on the length of this girl's skirt in a commercial and I noticed everyone had different thoughts on it. I was in the "my daughter would not be allowed out of the house" crowd, whereas my cousin's wife thought it was a little too short, and her friend thought it was perfect. It was probably mid thigh length. So, I'm curious, as a female, what is your idea of decency when it comes to dress? Well, coming from a girl who started out working 10 years at a swimming pool and interacting with customers in a bathing suit all day, and then went on to compete in pageants on stage in a swimsuit, you may assume that my level of comfort with showing my own body is a little higher than average. I would, however, consider myself a fairly modest dresser. In my opinion, appropriate dress has less to do with exactly how many inches of skin are showing, and more to do with the fit, the style, and the overall implication of the outfit, if you know what I mean. It has more to do with what the outfit is making others think, than how much fabric is used to construct it. That means that the exact same outfit may be appropriate on one person, and not on the other. For example, a very *ahem* well-endowed woman may look absolutely slutty in a top that has a neckline that ends at her sternum, while a woman with less... um... blessings on top would probably look very high fashion. It even extends into how good you look in the outfit, the context in which you wear it, and how you carry it. If I were strutting around, bending over, and rolling my hips in my bathing suit at the pool, it would make it into a very inappropriate outfit. If I'm teaching swimming and moving athletically, it's not. In terms of hard and fast rules, though, the bottom line is that no undergarments should be visible, and no parts of the body should be showing that aren't meant to show. If people are looking at you wondering if you might accidentally expose yourself, it makes everyone uncomfortable. (Chest dangerously close to popping out of top=no. Bottom of butt cheeks hanging out a skirt=no. Bra straps = no.) Otherwise, I have to say it depends on the body, the person, and the style of the outfit. | ||

A voice tells you, that incontrol is in a similar room, you cannot see or hear each other, It also tells you that you are going to play a game. The rules are simple, if one of you pushes the button and the other doesn't. Then one who doesn't lives. If you both push the button you both die, if neither of you push the button you both die. Would you push the button? | ||

Should it be legal or illegal for adults in the front seat of a car to not wear their seatbelt? 2. Is there anything honorable about someone turning themselves into the police if they've committed a crime? If yes, give a thorough and convincing explanation as to why. Assume the punishment would not be reduced simply because the person turned themselves in. 3. Fast forward to 2050. Assume that fetuses can be safely genetically modified. Would there be anything morally wrong with changing out a few genes to make a baby smarter? 4. What would the ideal system of welfare look like? These are all such loaded questions! It's taken me a while to find time to sit down long enough to think and write them out! 1. There are a lot of laws that remove personal choice for the sake of safety. I understand that each of us is ultimately responsible for our own well-being, and the feeling that we shouldn't have laws telling us how safe we should be. When you drill down through a lot of those laws though, they are really also put in place to protect others, beyond the choice and consequences of that one individual (think smoking laws, etc.). A car crash is traumatic no matter what the outcome. If a person dies (much more likely without a seatbelt), it affects everyone involved. Being inadvertently responsible for another's death can ruin a person for life. I personally am grateful for a law that requires people both to keep themselves safe, and to protect others in the case of tragedy. 2. Yes, because taking personal responsibility for your actions is the honorable thing to do. Being a part of a society and enjoying it's benefits constitutes an agreement to live by it's rules. Breaking those rules brings consequences, with which we are all familiar and which give us the opportunity to evaluate the costs and benefits of our actions. If a person deems it worth the price to commit a crime, they should be willing to face the consequences. Most people aren't. Those who are, like those who would turn themselves in, are honorable in that sense. To be frank, though, a "thorough and convincing argument" to this point would include a full discussion of the definition of honor, which, at the moment, I don't have time to provide. Sorry! 3. The question certainly makes me uneasy. I am not one to prescribe to the theory of "medicine shouldn't work to improve the quality of people's lives because God wants them just the way they are," - I think that God gave us the ability to practice medicine for a reason - but when we start to talk about altering someone's genetic code... especially when it goes beyond preventative medicine and into changing the very qualities of a human being, like their intelligence and thus, their personality... it makes me nervous. Especially considering how relatively little we actually do know about the human brain, and the many times history has proven that when we play with life at this level, we mess up (think shock treatments for mental illness), I forsee there being some serious medical and psychological ramifications to altering intelligence. Beyond that, I think the other piece (and perhaps to me the even more worrysome one) that would be the most cataclysmic as the result of that development would be the societal effects. All of a sudden you have a group of people who are medically determined to be more intelligent than the rest. How are they treated? What kind of power will they be given? Assuming that it will be the upper class who can afford such a treatment, how will that affect the stratification of society, wealth, and power? Will it disadvantage the older generations and the impoverished? It's a fascinating subject...sounds like a good sci-fi movie, but a scary reality. 4. A "teach a man to fish" system that provides aid only to the end that it also provides education and rehabilitation to get individuals and families back on track to become self-sustaining. "Focus on education" is, I think, a good answer to a lot of tough questions. Thanks for taking to the time to respond. 1. Interesting answer, I've actually never fully considered that aspect. 2. It seems that your definition of "honorable" is needed. PM me it if you have time. 3. Here is the video the question is based off of, which may explain some of your unease: http://fora.tv/2008/07/17/The_Case_Against_Perfection_Michael_Sandel 4. Good answer. A few more Qs: -What did you get for Christmas? -How long would you want to live if you physicaly aged at a rate 5 times slower than normal? -How would you go about disproving polytheism (I'm assuming you're a monotheist)? -What's your favorite book? 1. For Christmas I got spoiled. ![]() 2. Depends on how fast I mentally aged. If mentally was 5 times slower I could probably do humankind a lot of good by living a long long time, so even in spite of watching everyone I loved go before me, I'd stick around a long while. Not too much longer than the record oldest humans though... that's too unnatural and I think it would cease to be helpful. 3. You can't really "prove" any kind of -theism by contemporary definitions of "proof" (other than by the lack of scientific proof of any given phenomena, if that's convincing for you) unless you have personal experience that has led you to faith. Personally, historical and religious research, as well as impactful personal experiences have led me to a relationship with and faith in one Creator, yes. I firmly believe that any person who earnestly and actively searches for truth will find it, which, thankfully, alleviates the burden of proof on my shoulders, and places it on God's. ![]() 4. That's like picking a favorite child. Impossible, or at least I will claim it is. I read really fast, so it's rare that a book bores me or I can't find something to like about it. Recent history has seen me with my nose in the Song of Ice and Fire Series and the <3Dresden Files<3<3<3. I have been known to indulge in a little Twilight now and again (I know I know - but don't judge me by the movies!), and of course I always read all the Star Wars books I could get my hands on. I love historical fiction, Sci-fi... well.. pretty much everything. Motivationally/self-improvement wise, I try to read "Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the Box" every few months to keep myself on track. I highly, HIGHLY recommend that book. It made a huge impact on my happiness in daily interactions with people. | ||

I hate to live by fear, but I've had experiences in my life that have demonstrated both the evil that exists in some people and my inability to always protect myself from it. Having Geoff as a boyfriend has the bonus that most people go out of their way not even to APPEAR to cause me any danger, for fear of his wrath. We've discussed how strange it is that the world is so different for him than it is for me. I'm fairly small, athletic, but wholly unable to defend myself if it came to weapons or full brute force. Geoff, on the other hand, could get stabbed repeatedly or probably shot, and still pwn someone. I always say he should have been born in ancient Rome as a gladiator. His very BONES are like, 3 times as strong and thick as mine. He used to work security and once fought 10 guys at one time. He came home so unscathed I didn't even know it had happened till he asked me to fix the rip he had made in his pants. Usually, intimidation is enough to stop someone from stepping up, which is good, because I think almost every time he has actually punched someone, he has knocked them out. He tries not to use brute force because it can have devastating results. ![]() haha this is so awesome! imagining fighting incontrol is like.. wow..

I'm glad you are liking what I've written so far! Hehe, I actually love telling people about how Geoff and I started. We met when we were both members of the speech team at our university. I was somewhat of an individual event star and he was the same on the parliamentary debate side. We eventually became co-captains, and people jokingly called us "Mommy and Daddy" of the debate team. When I look back though, and try to think of where the very first spark of my interest in him was struck...one moment sticks out in my mind. Our team was full of drama. I assume it's the same on most speech teams, but our coaches were jerks, our teammates ranged from premadonnas to emo kids... and there was always some kind of huge issue going on. Geoff and I, for our part, hated the drama, and could usually be found off to the side somewhere, waiting for the storm to blow over. We were friends enough at that point, but only to the extent that we were teammates, like co-workers. Well, at this one particular tournament, things got really bad. I don't even remember what the issue was... I think it was something as stupid and routine as no-one could agree on where to go for dinner. Geoff and I were both sitting at this little two-person table in some cafeteria, and we got trapped when the team literally surrounded us and began to throw the drama bombs at each other over our heads. I was miserable. I like to smile, I like everyone to be okay, and I was stressing. I looked at Geoff and we rolled our eyes together. Looking at him and seeing someone on the same page as me in all that chaos made me feel a little better. Then, out of the blue and lightening-quick, while still maintaining eye contact with me, Geoff reached out, grabbed a napkin from the dispenser in the center of the table, and ate it. Just STUFFED it in his mouth, and then sat there like nothing had happened. He did it so quick that none of the people over our heads had any idea what had happened. I started laughing hysterically, and when they looked at him for an answer to why, he just shrugged as if he had no idea. For some reason, probably the stress of the moment, I laughed till I cried, so hard and so long that eventually they forgot what they were fighting about and the evening became pleasant. Oddly enough, I think it was then that I realized, hey... this guy is pretty awesome. It was after that that we began to spend a little time together outside team events. Soon, we went to the library together to study, and ended up deep in conversation. After I thought about an hour had gone by, my goody-goody conscience got the better of me and I said something to the effect of "Geez, we'd better get to studying, we've probably been putting it off by talking for like, an hour!" He laughed and looked at his watch, then looked back at me, shocked. We had been talking for five hours, and both of us had been enjoying it so much, that niether of us had ANY idea. I can't think of another time in my life where I have had such an innacurate perception of time. The library closed about 15 minutes later. We didn't get any studying done. ![]() ![]() During that conversation, the fact that I sew had come up, and Geoff had asked if I wouldn't mind fixing his dress pants that he wore for speech tournaments. He had like, ripped the back pocket or something. I was thinking about our conversation often, and finally decided to see what was really there. Using all my womanly wiles, I constructed a text message about his pants. It was ripe with just the right amount of innuendo... a test, if you will. Enough to give him the opportunity to show interest, but little enough that I could claim I never meant it if he wouldn't bite. ![]() lol...I actually have that text message conversation written down somewhere. If I could find it, would you guys be interested in seeing it? ( I guess I'd have to make sure it was ok with iNc first.) | ||

I got a difficult question and I didn't saw anyone asking about it so i'll give it a shot. How do u support Geoff in his gaming career, atm i'm 2 years together with my girl, who's really into korean music/culture all that) but when it comes down to StarCraft she just don't care about it that much. It's not that she hates it, she just doesn't understand that it takes a LOT of time to get good at it. Soon I'll be living on my own (or with her) just to play StarCraft without my parents complaining about it. So i'll give the question: How do I tell my girl that I want to achieve something in StarCraft, doing everything but at the same time still be able to get the support from her? Thanks ![]() | ||

And if you wait until marriage to have sex, and suddenly find out that the two of you are completely sexual opposites, at least one of you is going to be constantly frustrated. I absolutely believe that its a good idea to wait to have sex until you're with someone who you feel is truly special and that you love. But waiting until the artificial and unnatural construct that is the institution of marriage is asinine. Marriage is nothing more and nothing less than the formal and legal recognition of a relationship that should already exist. You don't get married and then build a relationship after that. You build a relationship, get married to have that relationship legally recognised by your country, to have it formalised in the eyes of society, and then continue your life together. Marriage is part of the journey of a relationship, not the beginning of the journey. I am also a strong believer in living together before marriage. Its retardedly idiotic to think that you can know what its like to live with someone without doing so, and getting married and immediately moving in together is RIFE with problems. Living together is one of the hardest things to do with another person, and love is not always enough to overcome fundamental disagreements. You can't really know what a person is like in their private home life until you actually live with them for an extended period of time. My fiancee and I have been engaged since May last year, but she was living with me from November of the previous year. We live together in my small 1 bed 1 bath unit. Its a small place, but we are a good match to each other, we have similar views on how neat a house should be, and if you can live with someone in that sort of environment you can endure anything that comes up. But we wouldn't have known that until we did live together, and you're taking a massive risk on a lot of things when you treat marriage as the beginning of a life together rather than as part of the journey, ESPECIALLY if you've waited for sex too. | ||

I'm also a full time engineering student at a university so between that and a girlfriend I'm very short on personal time for things like starcraft. Before I was with her I was having a pretty rough semester (15 hours, all math and engineering classes T.T) so I would only play SC2 a few days a week just to mainly blow off steam when I had some free time between homework. Then this girl came along and started taking up all my time and I would have zero time for gaming. I'm not trying to blame her for everything but at the same time I feel like she could have respected my lack of time and given me some space. I'm not really upset about breaking it off with her and I don't regret it. I don't feel like all my free time should be 100% dedicated to a girlfriend when I have so many other things going on in my life. What's your take on this? Should I look for a girl in the future that's more in to gaming that can sympathize with me? Maybe somebody who's just as busy as me so she can't have time to sit around and call me? Or maybe I just don't need a girlfriend considering how busy my life is in this stage? | ||

But when it comes to humanitarian support, it's hard for me to name a price. I think of it this way: Let's say I live in a house with my family, and have a good, stable, but not opulent life. Then, I learn that, in my next door neighbors house, there is abuse going on, or excessive hunger - something bad happening to other people. I wouldn't hesitate to share what my family had in order to help or to interceed on behalf of one of my neighbors. In the same way, as globalization makes the world an increasingly smaller community, it would be improper for a country with the resources of the United States not to extend itself to help when appropriate. The manner and extent of that help is impossible to determine other than on a case by case basis, but as a general rule, I think we all have a responsibility to protect human rights on a global scale. If we do that correctly, we will never be overextending ourselves, imposing our values where they should not be, or withholding help that we should give. + Show Spoiler + Josh will be at MLG Dallas... maybe I can talk him into doing a couple quick projects together in between the content I'll be doing for Kingston HyperX. ![]() | ||

I'm glad you are liking what I've written so far! Hehe, I actually love telling people about how Geoff and I started. We met when we were both members of the speech team at our university. I was somewhat of an individual event star and he was the same on the parliamentary debate side. We eventually became co-captains, and people jokingly called us "Mommy and Daddy" of the debate team. When I look back though, and try to think of where the very first spark of my interest in him was struck...one moment sticks out in my mind. Our team was full of drama. I assume it's the same on most speech teams, but our coaches were jerks, our teammates ranged from premadonnas to emo kids... and there was always some kind of huge issue going on. Geoff and I, for our part, hated the drama, and could usually be found off to the side somewhere, waiting for the storm to blow over. We were friends enough at that point, but only to the extent that we were teammates, like co-workers. Well, at this one particular tournament, things got really bad. I don't even remember what the issue was... I think it was something as stupid and routine as no-one could agree on where to go for dinner. Geoff and I were both sitting at this little two-person table in some cafeteria, and we got trapped when the team literally surrounded us and began to throw the drama bombs at each other over our heads. I was miserable. I like to smile, I like everyone to be okay, and I was stressing. I looked at Geoff and we rolled our eyes together. Looking at him and seeing someone on the same page as me in all that chaos made me feel a little better. Then, out of the blue and lightening-quick, while still maintaining eye contact with me, Geoff reached out, grabbed a napkin from the dispenser in the center of the table, and ate it. Just STUFFED it in his mouth, and then sat there like nothing had happened. He did it so quick that none of the people over our heads had any idea what had happened. I started laughing hysterically, and when they looked at him for an answer to why, he just shrugged as if he had no idea. For some reason, probably the stress of the moment, I laughed till I cried, so hard and so long that eventually they forgot what they were fighting about and the evening became pleasant. Oddly enough, I think it was then that I realized, hey... this guy is pretty awesome. It was after that that we began to spend a little time together outside team events. Soon, we went to the library together to study, and ended up deep in conversation. After I thought about an hour had gone by, my goody-goody conscience got the better of me and I said something to the effect of "Geez, we'd better get to studying, we've probably been putting it off by talking for like, an hour!" He laughed and looked at his watch, then looked back at me, shocked. We had been talking for five hours, and both of us had been enjoying it so much, that niether of us had ANY idea. I can't think of another time in my life where I have had such an innacurate perception of time. The library closed about 15 minutes later. We didn't get any studying done. ![]() ![]() During that conversation, the fact that I sew had come up, and Geoff had asked if I wouldn't mind fixing his dress pants that he wore for speech tournaments. He had like, ripped the back pocket or something. I was thinking about our conversation often, and finally decided to see what was really there. Using all my womanly wiles, I constructed a text message about his pants. It was ripe with just the right amount of innuendo... a test, if you will. Enough to give him the opportunity to show interest, but little enough that I could claim I never meant it if he wouldn't bite. ![]() lol...I actually have that text message conversation written down somewhere. If I could find it, would you guys be interested in seeing it? ( I guess I'd have to make sure it was ok with iNc first.) | ||

Geoff and I are Duo Dramatic Interp Partners on the Oregon State Speech and Debate Team, and we are on campus for our home tournament. I've been laying it on pretty thick for the past few days: the typical touching the arm, leaning on the shoulder, hovering around "I FREAKING LIKE YOU, OK" girl moves. And nothing. Nothing. Clueless gamer. So my roommate, who is also on the Speech Team with us, notes my dismay, approaches Geoff and says: "So, are you taking Anna out for Valentine's Day or....?" (Mind you, I'm like, 25 feet away. So high school.) Geoff's face could not have been more deer-in-headlights (don't move or it might scare this situation away!) He stutters out: "Uh... does... well... I mean... would she... you think... she'd want me to or...?" "Yep." Says my roommate. I have never seen anyone look so confused, motivated, excited, and petrified at the same time. Long story short, the conversation at the end of the night sounded something like: "Hey so uh... you have any fun plans for Valentine's Day?" "Nope!" (stares expectantly) "Huh." (long pause) "..." (stares expectantly) "So... I dunno, you wanna like... do something maybe?" "Yes." "Cool." (glowing) We decided to go out to dinner the following night at a tiny well-known restaurant in Corvallis that had been recommended to us as having some semblance of elegance/romance. I was thrilled. The night comes and he picks me up after we both go home and change out of our dorky Speech Team clothes. (I remember I was wearing heels and a skirt and that's when I first learned how to stupefy him.) He gets my door as we pull up to the restaurant, pulls my chair for me at the table, and is every bit chivalrous and attentive. We pick up the menus and I begin to peruse the fare. I ask Geoff what he's getting and suddenly I notice he's a little flushed. "Aww... he's still nervous" I think to myself, and try to seem not threatening. Truth is, I'm excited as all heck myself, and find I'm all of a sudden less and less hungry. Geoff says he's not sure what he wants... he wants to hear what I'm getting first... and I should order whatever suits my fancy. But there are beads of sweat on his forehead now. So strange... I'm trying so hard to be a comfortable date...? Now my stomach is not excited much for dinner at all. Searching the menu again, strawberry cheesecake dessert sounds like the only thing I could possibly desire. "I'm not really so hungry," I admit "I'm kinda thinking just of dessert..." "Oh, okay, sure" he says gallantly. Phew. I haven't offended him. "Honestly, I don't even want the whole thing... you wanna share maybe?" I venture - the red is receding from his cheeks. "Sure, ok." He concedes. What a nice guy, so laid back. We have our cheesecake (delicious) and soon head back to his place where he presents me with a birthday gift he had bought me: A Collector's Edition Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD set, since I had mentioned a few days before that I hadn't seen it, and wanted to.

He found he had only 7 dollars. With the looming threat of his credit card being declined, he had watched me perusing the menu, praying for mercy. The cheesecake I wanted was 6 dollars. I never had any idea. He was so relieved that God had spared him, he couldn't help but tell me about it right away. What a nerd. ![]() | ||

You previously said that when you give your heart to someone it stays with them, that is the wisest relationship advice I have ever heard. Time heals pretty much everything. Me and my girlfriend parted company a few months ago due to forces beyond our control. She was my seventh girflreind or something but since that i've had no interest in chicky babes at all. I just don't really have anything to give them. Whats the best way to getting back to normal? ![]() | ||

As someone eloquently stated, Marriage isn't the beginning of a relationship, it is the sealing of an already 100% functioning and happy relationship.. otherwise there's far too much down to chance/hope rather than knowledge and experience. Like what you do for the community though, and i mean no grievance, differences are interesting to discuss. All i can say is, the first time my wife and i had sex (days after we met) was the instant we both realised how perfectly matched we were. We'd already spoken for like 3 days straight getting barely any sleep just cuddling etc.. and then wow omg one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The fact we'd both had sex before didn't take anything away from the experience. You don't "compare" your partner to others if they satisfy you fully, and ever since that first time, great sex has been something that just creates an incredible bond, emotionally, chemically.. physically. We were 18 then, now closing in on 30 and i have thousands of memories of sheer bliss :3 Almost makes me sad to think people miss out on it for years of their life. I respect your dedication to each-other though, and to your beliefs. I don't understand them, and it doesn't really bother me that i don't understand.

where does your fancy dresses come for pageants? Is it like famous people at award shows that have to tell the camera, "I'm wearing Italiano Fancypants~", or is there more of an involved process working with designers/tailors to do something perfect for you? And is there some kind of failsafe to make sure that you and some other person aren't wearing almost-identical dresses? Also, what are your opinions on men's dress clothes? I've been casually interested in fashion forever, but it's always so depressing to watch things like Project Runway, then go to the store and see, "well, I could get a black suit... or a blue suit.. or a brown suit." (it's even worse when Irish coloring limits what colors actually look good on me.. I can't wait to actually have a steady income so I can get a nice custom suit from these indochino ads I see all over the internet) (forgive me if this sort of thing has already been asked!) | ||

You brought up some interesting and definitely valid points which really got me thinking and would like to provide my own perspective on (not to rebut you, just to share my own ^_^). How can the one who denies themselves a pretty basic human desire claim to know anything of it? I would argue here that while sex is a basic human desire, it's not a basic human NEED. The basic human need is intimacy and sex is one of many routes to it. A person can experience absolute intimacy with someone without sex without necessarily experiencing the full spectrum of it. For some people, pushing intimacy boundaries beyond what they're ready for or experiencing certain aspects of it without other necessary aspects can lead hurt, anger, pain, etc. Of course to your point, this can be experienced prior to marriage, but that leads me to the next... As someone eloquently stated, Marriage isn't the beginning of a relationship, it is the sealing of an already 100% functioning and happy relationship.. otherwise there's far too much down to chance/hope rather than knowledge and experience. I've actually heard the opposite which is funny. Someone so eloquently told me that "marriage is not the culmination of profound emotional experience, but the beginning of one". If marriage is a culmination of all the memories, trials, joys, tears, and love, then logically to me it seems as if there's nothing greater beyond that. If Romance leads to Love leads to Marriage, what comes after? Just personally speaking (got married last year), marriage, and the foundation of the commitment to love each other, has really been the starting point for my journey with my wife towards a deeper emotional, spiritual, and physical connection that couldn't possibly exist without it. Marriage gives us the safety to invest and pour into each other and grow as people with purpose. Not try to take anything away from the experiences of you and your wife, that's awesome man. But personally, just resonate with uNcontroLable. Anyway, my questions =) : I haven't read every entry in the blog, so forgive me if these are redundant: 1) You've mentioned that you've been involved with NGO's, is there a specific area that interests you? ie healthcare, economic development, mercy/justice, education? 2) Any plans to take a more active role in NASL? 3) Who are 3 people who inspire you and why? | ||

Truth is, I'm excited as all heck myself, and find I'm all of a sudden less and less hungry. Geoff says he's not sure what he wants... he wants to hear what I'm getting first... and I should order whatever suits my fancy. But there are beads of sweat on his forehead now. So strange... I'm trying so hard to be a comfortable date...? Now my stomach is not excited much for dinner at all. Searching the menu again, strawberry cheesecake dessert sounds like the only thing I could possibly desire. "I'm not really so hungry," I admit "I'm kinda thinking just of dessert..." "Oh, okay, sure" he says gallantly. Phew. I haven't offended him. "Honestly, I don't even want the whole thing... you wanna share maybe?" I venture - the red is receding from his cheeks. "Sure, ok." He concedes. What a nice guy, so laid back. We have our cheesecake (delicious) and soon head back to his place where he presents me with a birthday gift he had bought me: A Collector's Edition Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD set, since I had mentioned a few days before that I hadn't seen it, and wanted to.

As we were walking into the restaurant, he had checked the balance of his bank account on his phone, remembering that he had splurged his college budget on my present earlier that day. He found he had only 7 dollars. With the looming threat of his credit card being declined, he had watched me perusing the menu, praying for mercy. The cheesecake I wanted was 6 dollars. I never had any idea. He was so relieved that God had spared him, he couldn't help but tell me about it right away.

Would love to hear it from your perspective haha. OH MY GOSH, dude this is seriously so funny, I had almost forgotten about that! Ok so it's the day before Valentine's Day, 2006. Geoff and I are Duo Dramatic Interp Partners on the Oregon State Speech and Debate Team, and we are on campus for our home tournament. I've been laying it on pretty thick for the past few days: the typical touching the arm, leaning on the shoulder, hovering around "I FREAKING LIKE YOU, OK" girl moves. And nothing. Nothing. Clueless gamer. So my roommate, who is also on the Speech Team with us, notes my dismay, approaches Geoff and says: "So, are you taking Anna out for Valentine's Day or....?" (Mind you, I'm like, 25 feet away. So high school.) Geoff's face could not have been more deer-in-headlights (don't move or it might scare this situation away!) He stutters out: "Uh... does... well... I mean... would she... you think... she'd want me to or...?" "Yep." Says my roommate. I have never seen anyone look so confused, motivated, excited, and petrified at the same time. Long story short, the conversation at the end of the night sounded something like: "Hey so uh... you have any fun plans for Valentine's Day?" "Nope!" (stares expectantly) "Huh." (long pause) "..." (stares expectantly) "So... I dunno, you wanna like... do something maybe?" "Yes." "Cool." (glowing) We decided to go out to dinner the following night at a tiny well-known restaurant in Corvallis that had been recommended to us as having some semblance of elegance/romance. I was thrilled. The night comes and he picks me up after we both go home and change out of our dorky Speech Team clothes. (I remember I was wearing heels and a skirt and that's when I first learned how to stupefy him.) He gets my door as we pull up to the restaurant, pulls my chair for me at the table, and is every bit chivalrous and attentive. We pick up the menus and I begin to peruse the fare.

It just struck me as funny. In all honesty my first date was a train wreck of nervousness on both sides. | ||

I have a question regarding the "Wait with Sex until marriage". I can fully understand your thoughts behind it and respect your decision there in any way. But i'm always wondering there. Because like you may not know from personal experience, but some people are not fitting together when it comes to sex. I was with a girl ones which i fully loved in any respect .. we where soul mates as you will, but we both could not fulfill the others sexual wishes. It was not that we both where into very extreme kinds of sex, but when we had sex together it was obvious for both of us that the other partner is not enjoying it. We had to quit the relationship after some month, because the unfulfilling sex life was like a dark shadow over the relationship and in the end .. destroyed it. Since you are waiting until you are married with it ... what if thats the case for you and inc? *crossing fingers its not*. Also ( this might fit better in incontrols thread ) how does incontrol think about it? I mean he's a boy and you are a very attractive lady. And by our gene's we are ... kind of programmed to spread our DNA as often as possible. I also think he hadn't waited until the marriage with his first sex .. or did he? | ||

I went up to Portland several times but I always hated it there. I know its supposed to be "the most environmentally friendly cities in the world" or something, but it came across as too urban and dirty for me. Crater lake was, of course, fabulous. I highly recommend seeing it if you're ever in the area (which is admittedly rather remote) I hope to go back there someday. It still bugs me when people mispronounce "Oregon" =P | ||

First off I'd like to say congrats on your appearance at Miss USA. The SC2 community was definitely rooting for you! Now my question.. I saw this article on Huffingtonpost where they reported that only 2 out of the 50 contestants, Miss California and Miss Massachusetts, stated that they "fully believed in evolution" during the competition. As a graduate student in theoretical biological physics, I found this quite appalling. I can't stress how much of a tragedy it is that scientific illiteracy is so rampant in America. Is this article simply a misrepresentation of the contestants? I could not find your response anywhere but am curious about your views. Do you believe in evolution, and do you think that it should be taught in schools? link edit: I just looked around a bit more and stumbled across this. Miss Oregon's response is at 11:15. So your response answered my second question but not my first. However, I am curious as to what other theories you believe you should be given "a shout out." Evolution is the only scientific theory I am aware of on the origin of species. | ||

LOL @ searching for truth and not investigating evolution and/or discarding it on Jesus-y grounds. Hard to search for the truth when you start with "true" and work backwards from there. This thread has been illuminating though. Mostly because I can disregard anything InControl ever says ever again. Hard to take someone's critical thinking seriously who believes Christianity is remotely true and that vaginas are holy temples of worship that can not be entered without believing in imaginary skypeople. | ||

![]() ![]() b) You're awesome, Incontrol is too but you're awesome-er My question isn't intended as trollbait at all I actually admire your avoidance of all the you-hate recently with the pageant and your beliefs and the fact that you spend time doing things like this blog. disclaimer over: Q: Do you think intelligent design and evolution are mutually exclusive, and do you believe in evolution? - I'm not planning on hating on your answer either way I'm actually curious as I just discovered this thread and read through some of it. My father is both a respected Rabbi and a respected nuclear physicist (yeah...) and he's explained to me many times hat he believes evolution was simply god's method of implementing intelligent design. I personally don't believe that but now that all that drama has blown over I was curious to ask you this. | ||

For the record I want to let you know you don't look anything like a vamp tranny to me (sry to bring that up but I just watched SotG Ep. 41), you look like a fucking miss USA contestant. I just wanna ask what your future SC2 plans are. I enjoyed watching your MLG Dallas interviews and I was hoping you would be interviewing people at MLG Columbus. Basically, i guess the heart of my question is do you plan on doing interviews in any future tournaments? EDIT: PS I just wanna say ur BF is awesome. I got banned from his stream for being an all around ass hole and I send him a PM explaining what had happened and how I was at fault and he unbanned me right there on the spot. Basically I just wanna say you found a great guy ![]() | ||

In the last SotG you talked about how you may not be as skilled at the game as some, but that you contribute to the community any way you can. As someone who is both quite bad at SC2 and new to the community I was wondering what you consider to be the best ways to contribute? | ||

But I'm also feel something's been lacking, a rational explanation why I couldn't vote for uncontrollable, or any of the 48 candidates who supported intelligent design. I'm from a science background since high school, and science is a greater part of me than games or family. When I hear about intelligent design being forced to be mentioned as alternatives to evolution in text books, I feel afraid for science, and I think about all the news about states like kansas trying to remove evolution, the Scopes trial, the church's persecution of Galileo. Of course there's a big difference between someone believing something and someone trying to force other people to believe something, and technically that fear only kicks in for the latter. But the trouble is I don't know whether a statement of belief implies advocacy. Though beauty pageant contestants don't define public policy, maybe a vote implicitly supports what the contestant supports. So I can't risk the vote, even if it is a insignificant and oversimplified representation of a completely unrelated contest. It's like someone who feels strongly about gay rights being unable to vote for a candidate who doesn't support gay marriage. My ability to vote or abstain to vote for science means more than any satisfaction I would have for supporting an intelligent woman who supports esports. I hope any criticisms are at heart more in line of what I was thinking, as opposed to actual personal attacks. And I hope a former debate team member doesn't pick apart what I think is an earnest justification :-) | ||

How do u support Geoff in his gaming career, atm i'm 2 years together with my girl, who's really into korean music/culture all that) but when it comes down to StarCraft she just don't care about it that much. It's not that she hates it, she just doesn't understand that it takes a LOT of time to get good at it. Soon I'll be living on my own (or with her) just to play StarCraft without my parents complaining about it. So i'll give the question: How do I tell my girl that I want to achieve something in StarCraft, doing everything but at the same time still be able to get the support from her? Thanks ![]() Not knowing her, how she ticks and what makes her happy, it's tough to answer that question for you... but I believe those factors constitute the right place to start. WHY doesn't she see the legitimacy of Starcraft? WHY doesn't she want you to spend so much time on it? Usually, it has less to do with her not understanding the game, and more to do with her desire to share in your passions, and to feel important. I support Geoff because I understand his goals, and I passionately want him to achieve them. I'm able to do that because he makes sure to balance the pursuit of his passions with the support of me and mine. Girls just wanna feel important to you. Explain to her how much more meaningful Starcraft would be if you could share it with her. Little by little, she may come around. PS - there are a lot of similar questions to this early on in th thread, so be sure to check those out if you like. ![]() | ||

Bad sex makes everything worse, good sex makes everything better. Problems regarding money, arguments over the house, kids, everything is made worse if you ALSO have an unfulfilling sex life. But if you have a great sex life, you're overall more relaxed and happy as a person, and you're likely to be more able to work through any other issues that crop up. And if you wait until marriage to have sex, and suddenly find out that the two of you are completely sexual opposites, at least one of you is going to be constantly frustrated. I absolutely believe that its a good idea to wait to have sex until you're with someone who you feel is truly special and that you love. But waiting until the artificial and unnatural construct that is the institution of marriage is asinine. Marriage is nothing more and nothing less than the formal and legal recognition of a relationship that should already exist. You don't get married and then build a relationship after that. You build a relationship, get married to have that relationship legally recognised by your country, to have it formalised in the eyes of society, and then continue your life together. Marriage is part of the journey of a relationship, not the beginning of the journey. I am also a strong believer in living together before marriage. Its retardedly idiotic to think that you can know what its like to live with someone without doing so, and getting married and immediately moving in together is RIFE with problems. Living together is one of the hardest things to do with another person, and love is not always enough to overcome fundamental disagreements. You can't really know what a person is like in their private home life until you actually live with them for an extended period of time. My fiancee and I have been engaged since May last year, but she was living with me from November of the previous year. We live together in my small 1 bed 1 bath unit. Its a small place, but we are a good match to each other, we have similar views on how neat a house should be, and if you can live with someone in that sort of environment you can endure anything that comes up. But we wouldn't have known that until we did live together, and you're taking a massive risk on a lot of things when you treat marriage as the beginning of a life together rather than as part of the journey, ESPECIALLY if you've waited for sex too. Uh... What is your question? | ||

On March 18 2011 18:39 Jacuzzi wrote: Hi Anna. I've never posted in this blog so I hope I'm not asking a question that's been asked a trillion times. My question is how do you and Geoff find time for a relationship when he's a super busy progamer/coach/NASL caster who is pretty much booked 24/7 for the next two years? I was with a girl a few months back and she was VERY clingy. I don't consider myself needy or clingy at all and staying home on a Friday night to play SC2 online with friends sounds like a much better time than going to some club or a bar or whatnot. I'm also a full time engineering student at a university so between that and a girlfriend I'm very short on personal time for things like starcraft. Before I was with her I was having a pretty rough semester (15 hours, all math and engineering classes T.T) so I would only play SC2 a few days a week just to mainly blow off steam when I had some free time between homework. Then this girl came along and started taking up all my time and I would have zero time for gaming. I'm not trying to blame her for everything but at the same time I feel like she could have respected my lack of time and given me some space. I'm not really upset about breaking it off with her and I don't regret it. I don't feel like all my free time should be 100% dedicated to a girlfriend when I have so many other things going on in my life. What's your take on this? Should I look for a girl in the future that's more in to gaming that can sympathize with me? Maybe somebody who's just as busy as me so she can't have time to sit around and call me? Or maybe I just don't need a girlfriend considering how busy my life is in this stage? I think it's really all about taking the time to define your priorities and then committing to the difficult task of balancing them. It is very much not easy for Geoff and I to make and devote the kind of time that is necessary to maintain our relationship with our schedules and geographical challenges, but we do, because it is of paramount importance to us. We make Skype dates, watch movies on Netflix together (3, 2, 1, PLAY!), and coordinate schedules to meet up all over the country. We're both working toward a future where we will be able to walk side by side toward our dreams, and because we have been disciplined, that day is coming very soon. ![]() When you have multiple passions, it will be difficult to appropriately divide your time between them. It's almost as if, for me, I had to sit down and make a pie chart: relative to the importance of each time consuming activity in my life, how much of my day will I devote to it? And then I stick to that, no matter what that means is left undone. For me, that usually sways in the direction of people and relationships over almost anything else. Any other time I have goes to pursuing my highest purpose and my dreams. I figure, if you focus on those things, you will find yourself in the right place at the end of the day. ![]() In terms of girls, I recommend that you find someone that shares priorities with you. In a relationship, you've gotta be pulling toward the same Utopia, you know? Otherwise, it will always be in the best interest to part ways. Whether that means she is a gamer or not, I bet you'll find that she is the right fit for you. | ||

Time heals pretty much everything. Me and my girlfriend parted company a few months ago due to forces beyond our control. She was my seventh girflreind or something but since that i've had no interest in chicky babes at all. I just don't really have anything to give them. Whats the best way to getting back to normal? ![]() It's hard to believe, but time really does heal. I've had a few really painful breakups in my time, and I remember being so frustrated with myself. "I know there's nothing I can do, why can't I just get over it?" or even: "It's better this way, why am I wasting time feeling sad about something that I should be glad about?" What I learned, over the years, was to accept that I was going to feel bad for a while, know that it would take time, but have faith and find solace in the fact that it was, little by little, going to get better. After a few weeks, it wouldn't sting so bad. A few months, and I might forget about it for a day. After a year or so, maybe I would only look back with fondness. It ALWAYS gets better. Hold on to that, and know that every morning will be better than the last. In the meantime, take responsibility for your own health, well-being, and happiness. You are the only person who can make you feel better. Discipline yourself to engage in activities that are good for you. Excercise, eat good foods, maintain relationships with friends, devote time to your passions, take the time to nourish yourself spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally, and socially. Fill every day with actions that will take you closer to your goals. That way, when you go to bed at night, you have something to feel good about. It won't cover up your pain, but it will help to dull it, and give you the sense of control that you will otherwise lack. Once you are on that path, running toward your dreams and taking care of yourself, I think you will find yourself alongside someone who is doing very much the same thing, and whom you want to spend more time with. I wouldn't worry about having interest in "chicky babes." I think, when you are back to full emotional health... and probably not even looking for her... the right girl will be there waiting. <3 | ||

I have faith in God that has changed my life in very real ways, and that I practice in a manner which I believe to be the best way to serve God and others. Religion is people's way of trying to figure out their spirituality and worship in large, standardized groups, and sometimes they invariably mess up, big time. I'm glad that God is beyond religion. If He were defined by human actions, He wouldn't be much of a God, would he? Also, it is worth noting that many religious groups have, beyond any semblance of doubt, done a world of good. What I saw in India, as a result of Mother Teresa's devotion to serving God, defies description - the beauty of what she did to ease human suffering, and the echo of her simple existence reverberating there even now, is beyond words. The point is, people do good, and people do bad. Religion does neither without them. | ||

Would love to hear it from your perspective haha. OH MY GOSH, dude this is seriously so funny, I had almost forgotten about that! Ok so it's the day before Valentine's Day, 2006. Geoff and I are Duo Dramatic Interp Partners on the Oregon State Speech and Debate Team, and we are on campus for our home tournament. I've been laying it on pretty thick for the past few days: the typical touching the arm, leaning on the shoulder, hovering around "I FREAKING LIKE YOU, OK" girl moves. And nothing. Nothing. Clueless gamer. So my roommate, who is also on the Speech Team with us, notes my dismay, approaches Geoff and says: "So, are you taking Anna out for Valentine's Day or....?" (Mind you, I'm like, 25 feet away. So high school.) Geoff's face could not have been more deer-in-headlights (don't move or it might scare this situation away!) He stutters out: "Uh... does... well... I mean... would she... you think... she'd want me to or...?" "Yep." Says my roommate. I have never seen anyone look so confused, motivated, excited, and petrified at the same time. Long story short, the conversation at the end of the night sounded something like: "Hey so uh... you have any fun plans for Valentine's Day?" "Nope!" (stares expectantly) "Huh." (long pause) "..." (stares expectantly) "So... I dunno, you wanna like... do something maybe?" "Yes." "Cool." (glowing) We decided to go out to dinner the following night at a tiny well-known restaurant in Corvallis that had been recommended to us as having some semblance of elegance/romance. I was thrilled. The night comes and he picks me up after we both go home and change out of our dorky Speech Team clothes. (I remember I was wearing heels and a skirt and that's when I first learned how to stupefy him.) He gets my door as we pull up to the restaurant, pulls my chair for me at the table, and is every bit chivalrous and attentive. We pick up the menus and I begin to peruse the fare. I ask Geoff what he's getting and suddenly I notice he's a little flushed. "Aww... he's still nervous" I think to myself, and try to seem not threatening. Truth is, I'm excited as all heck myself, and find I'm all of a sudden less and less hungry. Geoff says he's not sure what he wants... he wants to hear what I'm getting first... and I should order whatever suits my fancy. But there are beads of sweat on his forehead now. So strange... I'm trying so hard to be a comfortable date...? Now my stomach is not excited much for dinner at all. Searching the menu again, strawberry cheesecake dessert sounds like the only thing I could possibly desire. "I'm not really so hungry," I admit "I'm kinda thinking just of dessert..." "Oh, okay, sure" he says gallantly. Phew. I haven't offended him. "Honestly, I don't even want the whole thing... you wanna share maybe?" I venture - the red is receding from his cheeks. "Sure, ok." He concedes. What a nice guy, so laid back. We have our cheesecake (delicious) and soon head back to his place where he presents me with a birthday gift he had bought me: A Collector's Edition Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD set, since I had mentioned a few days before that I hadn't seen it, and wanted to. We cuddled up and watched it, talked through the night, and stayed up for the next 2 nights consecutively talking and cuddling. + Show Spoiler + (and finally having our first kiss ![]() Before all that though, on the way back to the car from the restaurant, he lets me in on a little secret. As we were walking into the restaurant, he had checked the balance of his bank account on his phone, remembering that he had splurged his college budget on my present earlier that day. He found he had only 7 dollars. With the looming threat of his credit card being declined, he had watched me perusing the menu, praying for mercy. The cheesecake I wanted was 6 dollars. I never had any idea. He was so relieved that God had spared him, he couldn't help but tell me about it right away. What a nerd. ![]() So, the age old question. Why did you fall for him? =) I've cited multiple reasons in this thread, but the thing that, above all, makes Geoff my soul mate is the level at which he understands me. Because we agree on the most important things in life, it's easy to walk alongside each other in life - and I have never, ever, met someone who "gets" me the way he does. I can talk to him on a deeper level than anyone else I know, and trust him to understand and reciprocate. That feels so good, and I know I am a lucky girl to have found it. It definitely doesn't mean that we haven't had to fight through some hard times, but it does mean that, every time, we come out stronger than before. | ||

Is it like famous people at award shows that have to tell the camera, "I'm wearing Italiano Fancypants~", or is there more of an involved process working with designers/tailors to do something perfect for you? And is there some kind of failsafe to make sure that you and some other person aren't wearing almost-identical dresses? Also, what are your opinions on men's dress clothes? I've been casually interested in fashion forever, but it's always so depressing to watch things like Project Runway, then go to the store and see, "well, I could get a black suit... or a blue suit.. or a brown suit." (it's even worse when Irish coloring limits what colors actually look good on me.. I can't wait to actually have a steady income so I can get a nice custom suit from these indochino ads I see all over the internet) (forgive me if this sort of thing has already been asked!) Most girls wear dresses from famous designers who specifically do pageant gowns. Notably Sherri Hill and Tony Bowls, and also Jovani and MacDuggal. Pageant gowns are very different from red carpet gowns - more glamor than high fashion, and usually more bling for the stage. Most of these major designers know when their clients are national competitors, and attempt to keep a registry of who is wearing what dress in order to avoid duplicates. Usually girls bring 2 gowns, one for the evening gown photoshoot, and one for the stage. My photoshoot gown was made by a local Portland designer that I wanted to support and get some exposure. I would have liked to have designed and had made both my gowns, but I basically ran out of time and, in the end, wore a lovely Tony Bowls on stage. Men's dress clothes can be so fun! But I feel you on the lack of variety in a price range. I'm particularly partial to gray suits on guys, for some reason, and a very fashion-forward tie can make even a "blah" suit look really cutting edge. For example, one of the most smartly dressed guys in the office where I worked until just recently, had a gray pinstripe suit that he wore with a white shirt, tortoiseshell glasses, cognac-colored shoes, and - get this - a pink paisley narrow tie. He looked straight out of a magazine. As far as my opinion in general, the most important thing in men's clothing, especially dress clothing, is a good fit. If clothes truly fit, they rarely look bad. ![]() | ||

Show nested quote + How can the one who denies themselves a pretty basic human desire claim to know anything of it? I would argue here that while sex is a basic human desire, it's not a basic human NEED. The basic human need is intimacy and sex is one of many routes to it. A person can experience absolute intimacy with someone without sex without necessarily experiencing the full spectrum of it. For some people, pushing intimacy boundaries beyond what they're ready for or experiencing certain aspects of it without other necessary aspects can lead hurt, anger, pain, etc. Of course to your point, this can be experienced prior to marriage, but that leads me to the next... Show nested quote + As someone eloquently stated, Marriage isn't the beginning of a relationship, it is the sealing of an already 100% functioning and happy relationship.. otherwise there's far too much down to chance/hope rather than knowledge and experience. I've actually heard the opposite which is funny. Someone so eloquently told me that "marriage is not the culmination of profound emotional experience, but the beginning of one". If marriage is a culmination of all the memories, trials, joys, tears, and love, then logically to me it seems as if there's nothing greater beyond that. If Romance leads to Love leads to Marriage, what comes after? Just personally speaking (got married last year), marriage, and the foundation of the commitment to love each other, has really been the starting point for my journey with my wife towards a deeper emotional, spiritual, and physical connection that couldn't possibly exist without it. Marriage gives us the safety to invest and pour into each other and grow as people with purpose. Not try to take anything away from the experiences of you and your wife, that's awesome man. But personally, just resonate with uNcontroLable. Anyway, my questions =) : I haven't read every entry in the blog, so forgive me if these are redundant: 1) You've mentioned that you've been involved with NGO's, is there a specific area that interests you? ie healthcare, economic development, mercy/justice, education? 2) Any plans to take a more active role in NASL? 3) Who are 3 people who inspire you and why? 1) I would say my specific and foremost areas of interest are youth mentorship, prevention of sexual abuse/support for victims of abuse, welfare of children in poverty, and environmental sustainability. 2) I hope they will have me back for more interviews at their next live event! I'd be happy to do more - like hosting etc.- but I think that's why they have Lindsey Sporror now. Hopefully you will see me taking bigger roles in more live events soon. ![]() 3) Three people off the top of my head that I admire (it would take too long to decide on the top 3 I admire MOST, and I'm not including family cause that's implied) Audrey Hepburn - she made a living creating art and pursuing her passion, then used her success to help others on a global scale, thus inspiring others to do the same. As she put it “I think I’ve been terribly privileged, and it’s logic that somebody who is privileged should do something for those who are not.” and thanks for your thoughts on the marriage issue. ![]() Geoff's mom, Loreen (iNcontroLofiNcontroL HAR HAR) - She has faced trial after trial in life that, for anyone else, may rightfully have turned them into a bitter or selfish shell of a person. But she reacts by loving more fiercely and smiling more stubbornly than anyone I have ever met. Even when I first met her, I knew I could count on her to love me no matter what. Oprah - considering the amount of negativity (hatred) that even I get as a woman in the (small) spotlight, I bet she has gotten even more, and that hasn't stopped her from being wildly successful, and THAT hasn't stopped her from seemingly remaining a truly caring, compassionate, and genuine person. | ||

But i'm always wondering there. Because like you may not know from personal experience, but some people are not fitting together when it comes to sex. I was with a girl ones which i fully loved in any respect .. we where soul mates as you will, but we both could not fulfill the others sexual wishes. It was not that we both where into very extreme kinds of sex, but when we had sex together it was obvious for both of us that the other partner is not enjoying it. We had to quit the relationship after some month, because the unfulfilling sex life was like a dark shadow over the relationship and in the end .. destroyed it. Since you are waiting until you are married with it ... what if thats the case for you and inc? *crossing fingers its not*. Also ( this might fit better in incontrols thread ) how does incontrol think about it? I mean he's a boy and you are a very attractive lady. And by our gene's we are ... kind of programmed to spread our DNA as often as possible. I also think he hadn't waited until the marriage with his first sex .. or did he?

Now that you are the manager in the EG house, will you still being doing Miss USA Pageants or will you now be committing full time to Starcraft 2 and the competitive scene? Also this is completely out of curiosity but, when you and iNc get married will you stream your wedding and have the very first "Starcraft" wedding or will you just keep it private and then blog about it? This is completely out of curiosity. | ||

So after reading through the posts you've written in response to waiting to have sex until marriage I thought of a question. How did you manage to wait. I personally believe that it's a better idea to wait until marriage for sex due to the statement that it shows and commitment (also at my age it's kinda risky to have sex in case of something going wrong.) but there are still temptations from peers as well as yourself to partake in those actions. Now I haven't been put in the situation where I have had to say no to having sex but I don't know if I will be able to resist the temptation when it comes. I know that if you don't wait it isn't the end of the world but I was just curious to know how do you hold out from the temptation of sex? | ||
