    I would say the moment it became clear that G.O.B. was an acronym was when I realized this show was the best tv program ever conceived.

    I should really start actually exploring the Seattle nightlife soon.

    I've been here for a few weeks and the only new connection that isn't just friends/family of my cousin that I've ended up making was in Utah.

    I can't right now, because I'm using my phone as a modem, but I'll watch some tomorrow night. I have Monday off, too!

    The really amazing thing is that there wasn't a single bad episode. No other show I know of can say that.

    I'm almost grateful it got canceled when it did. Now it will forever be remembered as a glittering diamond of comedic genius.

    There was a time when I tried to fix furry, actually, because I used to have a few anthro characters in my portfolio. I even started a decent-sized yahoo group on it that lasted for a few years, "Dignified Furry."

    Then I realized that fuck it furry-type characters are like 1% of what I draw I have bigger fish to murder.

    Also, furry is already and pretty much has always been part of society. The fandom is like a periodically emergant thing.

    in one fell swoop

    also, did you dudes know that "steal my thunder" comes from an actual person accusing someone of stealing thunder? Apparently some stage manager was well known for his ability to create thunder sounds, and when some other dude figured it out he said "I will not let him steal my thunder!"

    awesome

    I would rather pretend that Zeus was robbed by Prometheus and then later Prometheus crept into Hera's bedroom but because it was dark she could not see who it was. Prometheus deceived her into thinking it was Zeus by using the thunder he stole and then he had hot sex with Hera all night long.

    "Interesting" is pretty meaningless when it comes to writing about people. All people are interesting. The general rule about not writing about yourself is that it is much easier to write about yourself than to write about other people for most. But then you just end up writing about your story forever, and you go nowhere with it.

    It's really hard not to Mary-Sue yourself.

    Also a very large number of writers are horribly boring people.

    It is also very lazy.

    On the other hand, my personality was developed as a fictional character before I modeled myself after it so it's kind of chicken and egg.

    I'm also not a writer. You're not very interesting either, if we're showing our hands.
