umm..I fail to see how you were not implying that I was in error, however, I have absolutely zero desire to debate the point.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Sort of like I accuse Englishmen of being British.

Better than the other way around....thats called "committing suicide" in Glasgow...

We Scots will one day rid Southern Scotland of the English squatters.

And then finally we Highlanders will be rid of you lowland Englsih-speaking (and badly at that) filth once and for all. Take your time. We can wait. Beidh Alba gaidhealach go brath agus cuiridh sinn ruaig ar Sasanaich go leur!

Nothing of either of that sort. You actually think that such categories make any sense?

And since when are you a proponent of destructive chaos? How about I rip out your heart and shit on it while raping your mother? You like that? That's good old destructive chaos as any other thing. Besides....you ever thrown a brick through a bank window, or done any of the other stupid things that some of us did when we were younger and thought that posing like that and doing shit to mirror it was cool?

It gets old as quickly as the hippy tree hugging shit, let me tell you.

I choose nothing but Eris. The rest depends on how I woke up that morining.

Destruction/creation is a strange distinction anyway, as both are part of the same chaos flux, uh, thing.  Destruction is a precursor to creation and vice-versa.  Think of the materials needed to create a painting for example.  They didnt come from nowhere.  And he same goes the other way.  The atom bomb didnt just happen, it had to be created, the thought behind it etc...The only difference is the timescale, as far as I can see.

Well, It's true, i have more than one account, but as far as I know, no one has ever complained about them.  That is, other than the one they're supposed to complain about.

speaking of which, isn't it about time for that one? it's been a while.

It's an exhausting character.  And right now, I need my energies for the next chapter of LMNO-PI, else fluffy finds new and creative ways of murdering me.

Jumping in with Cain on this one.  You have to tear down before you can effectively rebuild.  Even if the stage is open it's because someone else already cleared it.

Going to hop on the "both options" bandwagon then, sine both are necessary schisms, unless of course, you don't like fun.
The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore, to misuse it.

I believe in the big d20 of life. 

The most interesting and influential things that have happened in my life have happened randomly, outside and apart from any plans or attempts of mine or anyone else's to make order out of chaos.  This applies to the good and bad, surprisingly equally.  I've done some dumbass things, combined with the random wrong-place-wrong-time that took me to prison and stuck a felony on my record.  Bad chaos.  But because of this, I finally gained the motivation I needed to go back and get my highschool diploma and enroll into college.  I discovered that unlike high school, I love college courses.  Well, most of them.  I discovered a passion for science and technology, an aptitude for engineering, and the motivation to learn mind-expanding subjects like symbolic logic and calculus. 

I don't believe any of that good would have happened had my big d20 of life not landed on Go To Prison and Get A Felony.  Lack of ability to get a decent job, and the loss of the one I'd had, pushed me there.  As well as randomly ending up homeless when my mom was hospitalized, staying with a friend that was enrolled as an engineer in college, and seeing what his studies were like.  My mom was released from hospital and I spent a couple years taking care of her, teaching me good ways to make money while in college with minimal risk.  Teaching me a lot about health issues, and how to take care of a very sick person.  Teaching me that it takes a strong heart to care for someone who is dying.  Teaching me that having thick skin and the ability to not go all soft-hearted is necessary to do what needs to be done to give someone I love proper care and treatment.  This lesson was hard to learn, but will serve me well in life.

In fact, thinking back on it, every bad thing that's randomly happened to me, has not only ended up improving my life, but taught me very valuable lessons along the way.

I see Eris as simply the personification of the big d20, and since the big d20 has made me a strong, intelligent, understanding, and motivated person, I have endless respect for the chaos that permeates our lives.  And if I get hit by a bus tomorrow, I have seen a hell of a lot in this life, experienced much I never thought I would, and I'll take another d20 roll and see if I end up somewhere interesting after death.

Although, I have tattooed a 1-up mushroom on my arm, so if I get hit by a bus, I have an extra life to spare.

EDIT:  Readability, typos, a bit of expansion/clarity.
There's good news tonight.  And bad news.  First, the bad news: there is no good news.  Now, the good news: you don't have to listen to the bad news.

You should invent a technology which utilises the immense gravitational pull of Jupiter by setting up kinetic power generators around the planet that produce energy by making the components spin, pulled by gravity, and by stabilizing the position of generators surrounding it in a complex pattern that connects every one of these to a command module in which energy can be harvested and sent home using a space station to help manned shuttles/unmanned shuttles to navigate there.

This.

However I do tend to get stuck in the "Happy Fun Kumbayah Chaos"... although I really think that is a poor way of saying it as it isn't really "happy, nor "Kumbayah". But like the Destructive aspect, it sure is fun.  :lulz:
Having and not having
both create frustration.
"Possessing" always comes served with a golden apple.
Being "The Prettiest One" cultivates pride and makes others ugly.
Not being "The Prettiest One" cultivates envy and leads to war.

This way you can have it all with nothing to lose.
