    Other Mental health

    I've had a lot of issues socially growing up, from being uprooted and moved several times, to being bullied or being an outcast through most of middle school, and seeing my family betrayed by people who said they were our friends. So, obviously, I had a hard time becoming close to people because...

    Other Shower Thoughts

    Not really a shower thought, but once I sat up wide awake in the middle of the night because I suddenly decided that the part in Josh and the Big Wall where the french peas taunt the Israelites is basically the same as in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where the Frenchman is taunting King...

    Other Xbox-360 Skyrim

    Thanks, but I think it's just my computer. It's just a basic laptop, not really built for gaming.

    Other Xbox-360 Skyrim

    I first played Skyrim on XBox and I really liked it. Since then I've bought it for my computer, but it's pretty laggy, so that's problematic. I'd like to mod it a bit, but I enjoyed the game just plain vanilla as well. I especially loved the civil war questline (I actually was far more...

    Other Modern / Historical or Sci-Fi and Why?

    Of the three, definitely historical, though I'm not often involved in them. It really depends on my mood, if I find someone interested in the same stuff, and if I have the time/energy to do research. Because I do want to make sure I do at least a bit of research, and I'd like my partner(s) to do...

    Other What's your Harry Potter house?

    According to Pottermore, I'm a Hufflepuff. That wasn't exactly what I was expecting because I'm kinda a bookworm and definitely more comfortable in an academic setting than anywhere else, so I was thinking a Ravenclaw. But, the more I thought about it, the more I thought it fit and was happy...

    Other Last Minute Halloween Ideas?

    Thank you! I'm definitely leaning toward Flora, since I don't think I can pull off the headless thing with such short notice. We're trying to see if my boyfriend can make a Jacobite soldier as well, so that would be fun!

    Other Last Minute Halloween Ideas?

    So, normally I don't really dress up for Halloween, but some friends of mine are having a costume party, so why not! I'm trying to think of quick, easy, and cheap costumes that I can make this weekend with stuff around my dorm or at the Dollar Store/maybe Hobby Lobby (because I'm a broke college...

    Other So... Where's everyone from?

    I'm from Arkansas. Very.... Interesting place... (x

    Other What did you want to be when you grew up?

    I went through a couple stages of career choices as a kid, all dealing with animals. First it was a veterinarian (until I learned that they had to put animals to sleep and I'm pretty sure I'm incapable of creating that professional distance necessary), then a zoologist (because I liked wild...

    Other Favourite animals?

    There's no way that I can pick specifics, so I'm gonna have to go with broad categories. 1. Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) 2. Big cats (but also little ones) 3. Birds of prey (owls and falcons are my favorites!)

    Other Archery-- Anyone Currently Doing it?

    Yeah, with a compound. Is there something that makes them better for sports?

    Other Archery-- Anyone Currently Doing it?

    I wonder what the reasoning would be for using them in sports, though. I mean, like you said, there could be an advantage when hunting, but that wouldn't be necessary for sports, would it?

    Other Archery-- Anyone Currently Doing it?

    Yeah, agreed, I wouldn't want to risk injuring an animal without a clean kill. But I don't hunt at all, so I don't see any reason for me to mess with that. I don't have a problem with people hunting if they'll use the meat, but I just don't have the heart for it myself. -shrug- I watched one...

    Other Archery-- Anyone Currently Doing it?

    Yeah, I think so too. I haven't shot enough with them to have a definite opinion, but I just think compound bows look funny. There's something weird about this techy-looking thing being used for something people have done for centuries with a much simpler tool. They are easier to use, from what...

    Other Archery-- Anyone Currently Doing it?

    Yeah, that one! Except the one I used there was like a beginner's bow or something and it didn't have sights on it. Before that, I think I used a recurve (the ones that make the weird shape?), which I actually prefer. It was a little tiny one too, though, because I'm a weakling. Thank you...

    Other Archery-- Anyone Currently Doing it?

    I don't think I could say that I really do archery because I've only shot a handful of times, but I'd love to learn! I really liked it for the reasons you mentioned and because it's a fun way for my boyfriend and I to spend time together. He first got me interested in it and encouraged me to...

    Other Folk lore of your people

    Oh, so I guess I kinda have a story to tell. Do you know of the Gurdon Light? Probably not, it's not very interesting, but people say that they can see floating lights above the crossroads there. Why that is depends on who you ask, but most stories involve a death or murder of some sort. Go...

    Other Favorite Historical Figure?

    Did someone say "history"?! -brainears- Okay, so my favorite historical figure... That's a tough one. I guess if I had to choose, I'd go with Winston Churchill. That's actually kinda weird for me, though, because I'm mostly studying Scottish and Irish history (and I picked an Englishman...

    These Screenshots, Man...

    I don't think it's the Sky Forge... It's at the very bottom of the screen, a little right of center. There's a stone building or balcony in the lower right, and the cat's head is to the left of it. It's looking at the screen and laying down, with its hind end coming close to dead-center of the...
