quote of the day, courtesy of Saitou from Kenshin
Don't be angry. There aren't many people who are brave enough to place their lives on the line to defend their honor and dignity as a human being. Just surviving, like an animal, you don't need honor and dignity.

I am told that I talk in shorthand and then smudge it.

Dear Niel Gaiman 27th Novemeber 2003

"It only takes a few good men to remain silent, for Evil to prevail."
Well Mr Niel Gaiman. I liked your, Im not saying anything reply about the fact that you plaguerised the life of a REAL White Magi, and decided to call it The Books Of Magic. very magical.
Of course there is no similarity between myself and Tim Hunter, Tim Hunter and Harry Potter. Of course not no similarity at all. If any one knew Gaiman they would have you in stocks.
And What about the leader of The Columbia Ivestigation Board??? Hal Gehman. I didnt write 2001 honestly. 7 Deaths.
Fuck you Gaiman Amen!

Yours faithfully,
Quiestor The White Magi.


You know, the word you're hunting for is "magus". "Magi" means more than one of them. If you want to make anybody take you seriously, you'll have to pay attention to details like that.

quote of the day, courtesy of Neil Gaiman
Today's weirdest request was from a TV movie channel who wondered if I'd host their Hallowe'en movie week. It's only when faced with trivial questions like that that I become deeply aware of what a serious and respectable business being an author is, and of one's responsibility to maintain the dignity of the profession.

"As a responsible and serious-minded author," I asked myself, "what kind of message would you be sending to the world by appearing as a cheesy horror host at Hallowe'en and introducing scary movies?"

I said yes immediately. I hope I get to climb out of a coffin at some point. I've always wanted to climb out of a coffin.

random "semi-relevant to lots of things" quote of the day..

Saitou (placing a hand on Misao's head): Don't be angry. There aren't many
people who are brave enough to place their life on the line to defend their
honor and dignity as a human being. Just surviving, like an animal, you
don't need honor and dignity.

right. i'm done for now.

so have a quote from my medieval&renaissance; drama prof from today...
"When they finally get it up, it's by far the most riveting consequence of any physical action.."
and it was meant entirely innocently too. and made sense in context and everything. whee d:

flaming marshmallow balrog contest!!!


Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends' or 'how very perceptive' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.

limits on #posts/day have been added. i can't quite tell if they're being enforced now or no (lookit the chunk about community posts to see why i'm confused). 5/day for free users, 50/day for early adopters (w00t!)/paid users/permanent accounts

quoted from lj news page
So, there seems to be a lot of debate over the limits, especially the ones for paid users. I mean, 2000 comments! Never a good sign.

Scattered amongst the tons of non-constructive angry comments there were actually a few good arguments, and we do listen to well-written, calm arguments.

We don't want to hinder paid users, or piss off free users, so usage pattern stats be damned.... we'll increase the limits.

I'm not quite sure what it'll be yet, but it'll be more like 5 posts/day for free users, and 50 posts/day for early/paid/perm. 50 is pretty much "no limit", which so many paid users were wanting. We might even make it 70/day, and just manually check out anybody going over 50/day (or so much disk usage/day) for abusive behavior.

A lot of people asked, "Why should a paid user be limited? We're paying for it, why would we abuse it?" We don't want to hinder real users. The limit should be something you won't reach, so hopefully 50 you'll find better. The problem is, there are plenty of people who would pay a one-time $5 fee to have unfettered go-wild kill-the-server access. Just look how angry some people were in those 2,000 comments!

Also, we'll deal with the community posting issues before putting it live. Posts to certain communities won't count towards your quota at all, and posts to paid communities will have so many free posts/member/day.

i'm clearing out my friendslist, quitting some of my communities, stuff like that. if i un-friend you and you have some sort of urge to stay friended, let me know
