It drives me nuts when people casually say, "Ah, I'm so OCD about this...." It's entered casual conversation as a way of saying people like things a certain way, and often they forget that it's a real condition.<br><br>Good for you for going back to therapy to fix something you don't like. I am doing the same.adamczarSat, 12 Sep 2009 12:13:48 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/173006276#comment-154692492009 has been the best year of my life, as well. So many positive things have happened, it's almost hard to count them all.<br><br>I've met lots of famous people, mostly at Conventions (okay, well... they're famous to me), and I'm always kind of surprised at how not-nervous I am. I don't know why this is.<br><br>But yes, I never want to be famous either. If I ever do anything of consequence where the whole world has to know me, I will be using an alias.adamczarThu, 27 Aug 2009 10:51:18 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/159134790#comment-14590669I woulda been scurred of that hostel. Sounds like what could have been a complete disaster was quickly turned around. <br><br>Looking forward to seeing you soon!adamczarMon, 10 Aug 2009 15:39:56 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/158461295#comment-14487369There's something fishy about saying "holy carp."<br><br>Zing!adamczarSat, 08 Aug 2009 11:13:13 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/157180988#comment-14356265I'll still be proud of who you are. I try not to let what people do define who they are... hm, kind of the opposite of Batman ("not who I am, but what I do that defines me"). Obviously I don't mean if you decide to torture and till kittens I'll be proud, I'm speaking more in terms of careers and such.<br><br>I'm a boring ass tech support worker but that's not how I expect people to introduce me because I don't want my job to be what I'm known for.<br><br>Anyway, in my opinion the best thing to say to people who ask how the trip went is just, "fine thanks!" That's all most people are looking for. That, and maybe if they stick around with an oversized, overexcited cheesy smile add a "really enlightening, learned a lot." Anything more and you scare them because you deviate from the script in their head.<br><br>I won't ask how it went, because I'm reading this, and anything I do ask will be for you to elaborate on some things. I want to know the things nobody else asks about.<br><br>Can't wait to see you again soon!adamczarThu, 06 Aug 2009 14:11:17 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/153790938#comment-13878661"But isn’t every decision we make just as “future-shaping” as the next, regardless of prestige and privilege? I think so."<br><br>I think so, too. Congratulations on all the opportunities. You're working harder than anyone I know and deserve all the opportunities you're getting.adamczarTue, 04 Aug 2009 10:01:08 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/154311094#comment-13878298I've never experienced blowing snot on another individual, thankfully.adamczarTue, 04 Aug 2009 09:52:04 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/151518556#comment-13557861I always like when Katy gets one on her lip because I get to say the word "herpes simplex" and I love how it just rolls of my tongue.<br><br>BUT OH EM GEE!

Then again I also enjoy shooting monsters on my computer. I don't know what this means except I wanted to comment to let you know I read this and thanks for writing so well, it's fun to read. :)adamczarWed, 22 Jul 2009 08:38:16 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/145592776#comment-12999104Once, we were setting up a video conference at work and my co-worker says to people from Ireland, "Okay, everything looks kosher, but we need to call you back to make sure it's really kosher," and I cringed, and the guy looked at us with a blank stare and said, "what?" And she repeated herself and somehow found 8 more ways to use the word kosher. I was embarrassed.adamczarTue, 21 Jul 2009 11:16:54 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/143071078#comment-12820184I didn't press "submit" twice, but my comment showed up twice, must be the aliens.

At least, that's what it would be for me. Truth be told, I'd get defensive because deep down I feel like I'm one of them.<br><br>Good counterpoint about Americans and travel, though. I like that, never really thought about it that way.adamczarWed, 15 Jul 2009 14:04:08 -0000http://imeg.tumblr.com/post/142194101#comment-12707581I think "preventative maintenance" is performed to stop the horrifying accidents from happening in the first place. That is, if you trust people.adamczarWed, 15 Jul 2009 14:01:23 -0000http://www.adamsthing.com/2009/04/30/cyoa-the-omega-constant-part-4/#comment-8982412Thanks!! Glad you are liking it.<br><br>This is what discourages me each time I post something creative, the next successive entry gets less readers until now, only two. One of which was you, the other probably Katy or Logan. I appreciate you guys sticking with me, I put a lot of energy and thought into these.adamczarMon, 04 May 2009 10:45:00 -0000http://www.adamsthing.com/2009/05/01/lost-the-variable/#comment-8982267Yeah, I still recognize that the fallacies I see can be fixed, and it may even be part of the overall story when they realize they can't change things no matter how hard they try, or even if they do, the things they "change" from their perspective are actually what happened in the first place. But even so, what's the lesson there? What are we, as viewers, supposed to take away from that? If that's the overall arc of the show -- that you can't escape destiny no matter what you do -- it will seem like a colossal wasted opportunity, given how great the show has been in the past. It's not a bad story idea, but I was expecting a lot more from Lost.<br><br>Not sure who is older, though if there is an age difference I imagine it would be slight. Perhaps Eloise took him to the US and he grew up there, then attended college in England. But even then, if this "revelation" that he's Eloise/Charles son was planned, I can't help but think they would have clouded Daniel's last name and given him an accent just to put the clues out there. That would be consistent with every other mystery that has been "revealed" so far. The fact that there were no clues that Widmore is his father, up until the very episode in which it was revealed, makes it feel an awful lot like Heroes.adamczarMon, 04 May 2009 10:39:00 -0000http://www.adamsthing.com/2009/04/30/swine-flu-the-end-and-music/#comment-8865093Right, it's certainly no moving symphony. More of an ambient sound synthesized on a computer. Still, for some reason it haunts me.adamczarThu, 30 Apr 2009 11:53:02 -0000http://www.adamsthing.com/2009/04/27/yesterdays-bullet-points-5/#comment-8776280:-)<br><br>I think they replaced the soap at my work with some new stuff.adamczarTue, 28 Apr 2009 11:02:22 -0000http://www.adamsthing.com/2009/04/27/cyoa-the-omega-constant-part-3/#comment-8770986True, I doubt they'd simply let you walk away after that.
