what
It sounds like to me that Quercus doesn't believe in a god, doesn't want to definitely rule out the possibility, and was raised Russian Orthodox and it's hard to completely escape the mindset of your original religion.

Or I'm full of shit, either way.

Yay! You win free smilies in your email!!!

The story is fabulously entertaining and the filming is incredible! I suppose there is a decent amount of gore too, in case someone here is sensitive.

Learn how to sew and learn basic-moderately advanced medical stuff; when and how to properly stitch someone up etc.

Shit. You're from Wisconsin? I'm two words away from moving there in April. (You're and hired).

Yeah, I read sand county while I was living/working in Minnesota for a bit. Good book.

Sweet jesus, holy mother of god, why is there a fish swimming around my head?

They huddled around their keeper, strewn on the ground, watching as he lay before their tank.

Freshwater. I'm in the process of gaining degrees in fisheries biology with a specialty in native (north american) mussel preservation/restoration.
I'm just gonna assume you go to LSSU

You shouldn't assume.

Mmk?

Kai,

BS in Water Resources/Biology, specializing in Aquatic Entomology.

Currently pursuing a MS in Entomology, research dealing with the resolution of larval taxonomy of Nearctic species of the Genus Cheumatopsyche, Family Hydropsychidae, Order Trichoptera (Caddisflies).

Ah, ok.  :D  That is super cool. I should have picked that one up with the caddisflies in your thingie. For another fun twist, all my undergrad research is in tarantula behavior, but mussels.........oh how I adore them, love them, cherish them.....

The mythos around Eris provides a bountiful springboard of sanity.

I have no current projects here, just a lot of studying irl.

I am good for: French translations, biology (especially fish and bivalves), editing writings.

I can cough up something resembling html with extensive amounts of time, but in general, I really, really am illiterate with computer thingies.

"Here at ERGESVESRH, we do not expect people to be born with the "eidos" of postmodern-deconstructionism-giving-voice-to-feminism-in-a-globalist-society. We, do, however, expect them to have done the readings, thus putting such ideas into their heads, which we attempt to draw out with clever questioning; which is ineffective and thus a drain on the university's resources to continue this charade of assistance."

:argh!:

I'm glad he resigned.

(I work at a learning center and manage around 20 tutors.)

Mmmm shrapnel. Tasty.

Pieces stuck in me would be:

Alex, a former coworker who was a ROYAL PAIN IN MY ASS. Got promoted but showed what I didn't want to do with my life. ("You guys! It's 12:21! You guys have spent over twenty minutes on break! We have to get back to work!!!!")

Kirk, comp sci prof, damn it. He actually understands how education should be; reinvigorated my want to not fuck it all and work on a fish farm.

I totally saw those posts on peta before finding this forum and subsequent thread. So much more entertaining. I've been with this AR group for months and know their personal craziness. I admit, I like animal welfare, but c'mon, there is a line....We have a shit ton of stuff going on over the next couple weeks so I figure one of these nights I'll take off and sticker the wall.
