[Settle down boy] before I unleash a fury upon you the likes of which you have. never. seeeeen. befo''. (Something I say sometimes. Mostly to my barking dogs.)

Danielle McGimsie on Hypaspace is c-uuuuute! :D

You can't posses something before or after you possess it. So, you can't possess run before you possess run. (Tryin' to figure out aspect stuff, in general but for the purposes of my language.)

You do not have to distinguish every contrast.

Those who are so sure that they see can be a danger (nuissance really) to me, if not everybody.

Do not abandon a pursuit because you are tired/frustrated. Just go rest and catch up later.

Only I could spend just over two years in a place, surrounded by the same people, and not make any friends. lol. (Not that I'm complainin'. It's how I roll. Solo. Like Han <<-- :/ ::shrugs:: I dunno. lol.)

I don't think suburban sprawl is a good thing because it takes up too much land but I also think that... urban... compactness isn't that good either. I've been going downtown more often the past few days and everything's much too close together. You feel surrounded all the time. It's uncomfortable. I think the roads, each way and everywhere, should be two lanes (a greenery covered divider would be good too). The sidewalks too should also be double lane each way and there should be no parking on the side of the road (it would look and feel alot less cluttered this way I think). I was thinking that if I were to design a city that what might be a good idea would be to, instead of compressing it together like a... square, spread it out into like a rectangle. Put all the tallest buildings in the back on a line (maybe even stagger them) then put shorter buildings in front (short enough and a good distance from the previous line so that they don't significantly block the sun). We could also do half buildings with only sun facing sides. Some sort of general aesthetic standard for structures and signage too. It's like a big jumbled ugle mess in alot of places. There's alot of nice structures too but they can still be in a jumbled mess to me. Also, move structures back from the sidewalks more and put some greenery there.
