I'm glad I don't.

It's humid too. And you get insects a LOT.
The fastest way to a man's heart- Or anyone's, in fact- Is to tear a hole through their chest.

Indeed. You are as ancient as the soot that choked Pompeii into oblivion, though not quite as uncaring. - Rusvul

Why does everyone hate Tauriel so much? And it's not because of her personality and character. If she'd been in the book, I'm sure everyone would love her. But just 'cause she was invented for the movies and fell in love with a Dwarf, everyone automatically despises her. And for those who say their romance happened way too quickly for two races who hated each other, consider the fact that Lúthien just looked at Beren and instantly fell in love. (Of course, their races didn't hate each other.) In comparison, Tauriel and Kili's romance was far more realistic.

The problem is that until Legolas and Gimli came along, the two races utterly despised each other, it's well-established canon that they were some of the first dwarves and elves to be friends. Also, it ruins The Hobbit by adding in yet another stupid subplot that had nothing to do with the book just because they're scared people won't watch something nowadays unless it has romance in it. Tauriel is a cool character and if she'd just been there I don't think anyone would mind, it's her relationship with Kili that bothers people

Yeah, I guess that's part of it.

I hate studying Latin, it's so hard...
Just pretend there is something interesting and unique written here... I have nothing to say.

Why does my HDD keeps thinking that I have 0 bytes of free space and swallows the difference to get to that number?! It's the most annoying thing ever.

Why must there be words that people are not allowed to say? Swearing is such a stupid concept. Songs are not "clean" when they don't have swearing, they just don't have swearing. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CLEAN LANGUAGE, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DIRTY LANGUAGE, THERE IS JUST LANGUAGE. Prohibiting people from using words is ridiculous, what makes the f word worse than darn? What makes the other d word which this site stupidly blocks for no apparent reason and is not considered bad language in any sensible culture worse? Who decides these ridiculous rules on which words we can and can't use. The concept of swearing baffles me

I think that words that are used without meaning generally classify as swear words. Like the umm, word. you know, the F word. It has no meaning. That's what makes it so bad.
I dunno, maybe that's not it.

It seems that most swear words mean something that people find repulsive, disgusting, or unpleasant.

Do you watch Psych too??!!!!!!!
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.
