SPRPRNCS?

Princess Alice · 2012-09-23 05:55:39

Yeah, see, my first thought was "PRINCESS", but I'm sure that was taken by some spoiled white girl whose daddy bought her a car for her 15½th birthday. Also it's too many letters.

"AVENUE" or "CALCIUM" would work, but they wouldn't mean anything to people who know me outside the internet...

Salix Babylonika · 2012-09-23 06:00:49

now I, STARSCREAM! am leader of the Decepticons!

Does it have to?

Princess Alice · 2012-09-23 06:06:05

Fair enough. It's not like random guy on Broad Street is going to understand the significance of my plate either way.

Princess Alice · 2012-09-23 06:07:58

...Whoa, "AVENUE" is actually not already taken.

This is unexpected.

EDIT: I love how the website, in addition to telling you the number isn't taken, provides a little mockup of the plate:

In the world of character design,

How does one discern realistic faces from bad drawing?

Salix Babylonika · 2012-09-23 06:31:17

Generally, the former just kind of look "wrong".

I don't think it gets much deeper than that, though I guess you'd have to ask someone who can draw.

Toolsie · 2012-09-23 07:39:34

Hello.

Obā-san · 2012-09-23 10:25:59

I've had religion come and go

But kept it in my heart

And if that heart was beating slow

Well, at least it played a part

Just an ordinary heart

Didn't have the fight

And I've tried to practice what I preach

But only preach a bit

And if that light is out of reach

Well, I guess I'll handle it

Just an ordinary light

We never kissed good-bye

Could I ask you for a favor

Even though it's not our way

Sing a psalm or light a candle

Say a prayer for me today

Just in case I wasn't chosen

And the Catholics were right

I've kept religion in it's place

So hard and resolute

I see you've found the perfect space

And you found my favorite suit

Just an ordinary place

Can I watch you breathe?

All those notches on the belt

Those diets on display

I took a pill or two myself

And I'm here now anyway

Just an ordinary day

Do you have to leave?

Keep it singular and simple

With nothing underneath

And let my epitaph be something

That my children will receive

Here lies a man who will believe

When it's convenient to believe

...how did you get Avenir

Must've come with Mountain Lion. I don't remember pillaging, er, obtaining it on my own.

Either way I liked it for their "friendly" look. The "corporate" look is Novecento.

Obā-san · 2012-09-23 10:49:46

There's a beauty to forgiveness, especially forgiveness that goes beyond rationality. Unconditional love is an illogical notion, but such a great and powerful one.

Obā-san · 2012-09-23 10:51:55

One-Winged Eagle · 2012-09-23 11:23:06

So today I discovered and bought Bastion, and it's such a glorious, frustrating, beautiful, bitter game.

I've fallen in love again.

Yarrun XIX · 2012-09-23 12:00:40

Bastion? That's part of the Indie Bundle with Limbo, correct?

Obā-san · 2012-09-23 13:03:59

Dirty-dirty birds

Eating dirty worms

Is it me or do you sang

Dirty-dirty songs

Fall upon the grass

With your dirty pass?

Don't you feel

Like the rain

Catch it before it's gone

Kitty-kitty cat

Where'd you get that

Let be be free?

Fly for a hat?

You just play the song

I never heard before

Little things walk around?

Out the back door?

Aliroz · 2012-09-23 14:31:52

I'm too much of a troper to be a heapster, and I'm too much of a heapster to be a troper. I don't belong at either place.

I love books too much to truly love the digital word, but you guys mean so much to me, I can't just abandon all digital media. Besides, though reading on paper is better than reading on a screen; writing on a screen is much more conductive to writing than writing with paper and pencil.

I'm too much of an anorak to belong where I live; but I'm probably too much a product of my home and its culture to belong anywhere else. I know for a fact I couldn't live anywhere without mountains. I also need windows, a room without windows is a room not worth living in.

I want to learn, my thirst for knowledge is a fire within me; but to use the internet to learn just seems like cheating; and the glow of knowledge is not served at all by a flashing advertisement informing me that I am the 100,000th visitor. However, the internet and other digital resources are necessary for the indexing of family trees and historical records so important to my religion.

Where do I belong? Where can I not be told to take off my hat, where can I find tropers, heapsters, art, books, windows, knowledge, computers, quiet, music, memories, solitude, companionship, holy writ, family, friends, historical records and family trees, and flowers?

Does such a place exist? Is there a place for me as I am?

Oh, right. The library. Why did I not immediately think of that. Seriously, the place is my second home.

Yes, the library. 'Tis where the central and important things of my life all converge.

The winds of life blow, shifting everything in a whirlwind of change until nothing you knew is recognizable. Only trees and stones remain constant in the winds of life; but stones are dead and cold, I want to climb on stones, to base my identity upon a foundation of faith and certainties, but I do not want to be a stone. I must not become a cold, static, unfeeling constant person. Trees cannot move, either; and the only way they change is to become more of what they already are. I've got to be able to choose my own path. How can I change, but still come back to where I was?

How can I live and not become lost in life?

What contends with the wind and is not lost? What leaves its home, its bulwark of certainty, explores, and then comes back to the comforting safety of home? What creature lives with the wind, and not the ground?

A bird.

I must learn to accept the whirwinds of life without despair, I must not lose my place in the world, I must learn to explore but find my way back to friends and family.

I shall be a bird, flying from tree to tree, between all the places I don't quite belong, in the forest of a library. A bird is, after all, a reptile; and the closest relative to the crocodiles. In the view of all life, they're practically the same thing. 'Tis nothing but a change of attitude.

No longer do I fear the future.

Princess Alice · 2012-09-23 14:58:01

Ugh, I wish I had someone to talk to about the "purity" thoughts

Somebody who understands...it seems like Idler could relate the most, and he doesn't come here anymore...

Fuck it, I'm gonna do the same thing I did for the gender shit: write a long rambling blog post about it.

My university simply blocks the ports that these softwares use

but this is Wales we're talking about

Toolsie · 2012-09-23 18:12:00

I know I barely post on here anyway... But I'm taking a break from any form of contact to try and rebuild the shitpile that is my life.

See you later.

Who is Soos? Am I being slandered?

^^Soos is the janitor of the Mystery Shack. He hangs out with Dipper and Mabel and is generally a cool guy. He calls everyone "dude" regardless of sex/gender.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-09-23 18:48:36

It's from Gravity Falls, is what Anonus is saying.

Imipolex G · 2012-09-23 18:51:20

Is he an Almighty Janitor?

No, he is not.

Does he like books? Does he like boobs? Does he like guitars? In what way am I like this person?

Why is this important?

Anonus · 2012-09-23 19:03:56

CA drew the comparison because you're an older person who hangs out with and relates to us younger folk.

Imipolex G · 2012-09-23 19:05:46

Is he an old geezer?

Anonus · 2012-09-23 19:06:41

No, he's probably in his 20s or 30s.
