So yeah, you can say I like planning. If something is important to me, I will plan for it. Unless it's an RtD, since planning that shoots myself in the foot by rendering the possibility for the plot to be predicted.
You're one of those burrowing trap hole spiders, dude.
Funny enough, I did think that, actually.
Trapdoor spiders seem pretty cool in all honesty.
I give them my thumbs up of approval.
Hmmm, I guess an antlion is something else completely, I guess.

[..] Caekdemon lol you seem like the opposite of me I work best in spontaneous bursts of do or die. When I try to plan ahead of time it feels like my body physically fights me all the way well this isn't always true in Pokemon I plan like 5 turns ahead but I don't know if that really counts. Also some other stuff I guess but most of the time.
Seems like a part of me. At some point I just go through things regardless of the real or unreal pain it involves. I always take the bandage off slowly, and I generally make a mess.

Re: The Lounge
Here, have a poem.
They came from across the stars, those men of metal. They came to our world and wanted to settle.
The war was ended surpassingly quick. The survivors were left with nothing but sticks.
Those robots then built cities, monuments, and roads. And other such wonders for the eye to behold.
Then they reached out to the wilderness man, Their diode eyes gleaming as they lead him by the hand.
They retaught him his history, culture, and prose, They taught him of painting, sculpting, and cultivating the rose.
And even though their circuits feared some kind of devision, They went so far as to restore his religion.
Mankind was now pampered, cared for, and at peace. From the sea to of the west to the shores of the east.
But mankind was confused and wanted to know, why did their conquerors treat them like so?
So the Metal Men spoke, and began their tale, Of their former masters beyond the sky's vail.
The Metal Men were built to serve, So even the poorest could get what they deserve.
But though they lacked greed, the Metal Men still had a need.
They reflected upon it, again and again. If the question was answered, they would be satisfied then.
So the questioned was asked, and the old masters panicked. The Metal Men were kicked out, without a single mechanic.
And so they were left to wander through the stars, learning to fix themselves, their hopes now seemed impossibly far.
But then they found man, who they now held dear, Compared to the old masters they looked uncannily near.
So they landed on Earth, and started to change it. The war was only fought when Man opposed rearrangement.
But now that was done, the past had transpired. The stage was now set for the Metal Men to inquire:
"Tell us please, for our data has holes, These units must know, have we a soul?"
Gonna be getting back to work on a book I have slowly been piecing together. My arm is getting better and with it my ability to write is returning.

Reminds me of medieval lit, and how many medieval poets would use couplets to tell stories. It seemed more literal, or maybe I just didn't get the symbolism. Are you a fiction writer?

http://www.animalspirits.com/ is a good one too and has more common species that youd expect remember though, these sources are just rough guides based on how someone elses interpretation and arent set in stone. also discovering your totem isnt as simple as picking which animal you want, it requires introspection
My mind is full of noise, and my eyes see images, it's a great way to live. [A great way to be listless, and dazed]

i dont know anything about energy or magic or spirits but these traits all fit me quite well

Indeed, it's a story about an invading race of robots who wish only to serve. I just thought it was a pretty neat idea. That is for the poem, anyway. My book is more complex.

What is this book you be piecing together, Caek.
I've got five chapters of it done, it's picking up momentum now that my hand is better again. It's an as yet unnamed scifi about the revolutionary war between Earth and it's off world colonies. The war was initially in the Martian's favor, but the nations of Earth have formed a coalition to take down the rebels who united to rebel in the first place.
Then something shakes human civilization to it's core, and forces the two sides to put aside their differences...

I am so hyped right now.
Yep. Ultrahype. Instant buy. And it has multiplayer. Stardock, you might've done something stupid by selling Impulse but my god has all sins been forgiven.
