Three unknown facts......ooh

[Wes]

Cool! If you ever want to discuss anything, lemme know. You should definitely have some Plato in there at some point -- he's my favorite by far. (I wrote my senior essay on the Phaedrus.) You don't really get into the good stuff until the senior seminars -- or at least you don't get to focus on the good stuff in depth, or didn't at Yale, anyway -- but yeah, I'm always up for a discussion. Maybe I could be helpful around essay time?

[The Defibrillator]

Yeah we're studying Plato's The Republic right now. I think we're in Book 5. My professor is giving us our first essay assignment tomorrow... Our whole grade in the class is based on 15% attendance/participation, 10% on in-class writings, and 75% on two essays. We don't even have any tests. Just 2 essays. Crazy eh?

[Wes]

Not at all! Most of my courses were based on one final essay. Of course, participation could raise you from, say, a B+ on the essay to an A- in the course -- if you were one of the four or five people who dominated class discussions -- but yeah, tests and other assignments were mostly a thing of the past.

That's one of the things I liked about the major -- yeah, you can cram for a test, but the information probably won't stay with you afterwards and you may not have to really think about it. With philosophy papers, though, you really have to put some work into 'em and it's likely that you'll learn something important -- depending on your subject matter, of course -- even if you don't remember exactly what Foot had to say about this or that in Kant. But for some reason Plato stuck pretty closely to me -- even some of the arguments in the Republic, which I kinda skimped on reading during my freshman year. Plato's great stuff! Enjoy!

See, I would do that if I listened to American music. However, I'm a huge fan of Japanese music, and their CD's cost $28 each. No, not because it's imported, they're roughly $28 over there, too. Being a college student, I can't afford to buy their CD's, so I download them.

Heh, I'm glad I'm not the only person who downloads Japanese music (when I can find it on an English site, anyway... darn Japanese characters... ). 'Course, I can only speak a few words of the language, but in my opinion, Most Japanese music I've found is much better than alot of the pre-fab crap we get over here. *cough*Nsync*cough*JustinTimberlake*cough*BritneyS pears*cough*etc*cough* (I have no idea if Japan has pre-fab groups or not, but even if they do, they're music is still better than our pre-fabs. )


About me:

1. I collect pencils from the different places I travel to.

[Jo Dawn]

1. I'm right handed, but do almost everything else (besides writing and bowling) left handed...

2. I'm directionally challenged. No one should EVER ask me directions. Ever. I'm horrible at that.

3. I've never sworn in my life. (Intentionally. I did slip once...)

3b. The above fact in no way makes me a wuss or prude. Or naive.

1. My passions in life are acting and film making. I made my first movie last year as a final project for my broadcasting class, and I've been in several plays at several schools, including Oliver, The Hobbit (as Gollum), Heaven Can Wait, Rapunzel, Angels In America, and I'm currently rehersing Cyrano De Bergerac.

2. I was in a pretty bad car wreck in 5th grade. Bruised me liver, I did. Good thing I don't like the taste of alcohol, innit? And probably as a result, I'm 19 and own a car, but don't yet have a license. (The car is a result because I got a fat 10 grand sometime last year from us suing the other driver's insurance company or something. And I'm working on getting comfortable with driving it, thank you)

3. Finally, and most shocking of all, I have never read an issue of Fantastic Four in my life. In fact, I haven't read any comics regularly for a while. My local shop relocated and I'm too damned lazy to bother keeping up with them if the shop ain't in walking distance. I do, however, subsribe to Wizard to keep up with what's going on, and an issue from I think October 99 is what got me so obsessed with Dr. Doom. He like took over the issue or something. He's been featured several times since, so I eventually just really started liking his omnipotence and the whole shtick they gave him.

That's cool, it's one of mine too. Started doing video production at uni last year and really enjoyed it. Now some friends of mine are thinking of making a new film and I'm helping sort out the plot and stuff which sounds cool just needs wrinkles ironing out (where I come in)

Oh, that's cool. I like that one! What part are you rehearsing for?

[azure turtle]

LOL! Maybe I oughta join the Squirtle Squad, eh? I'd blend right in.

Poor GK... flu is no fun. You should have plenty of chicken soup.
*dumps a whole truckload of canned chicken soup into GK's house*

[Dr. Doom]

I've got a few roles, the biggest of which is Ligniere, the drunk who introduces Christian to everybody.

And yeah, I played Gollum. That was a helluva lotta fun, one of my 2 favorite roles that I've ever played. The other being Roy Cohn in Angels in America.
