Just a short one, today.

And this is because there wasn't a lot to talk about from my Monday. Sad but true.

So, what is there? Firstly, there was a Dianetics ad on TV earlier. I was amused by this, since they're selling it as a self-help book. A self-help book by an author who famously claimed that the easiest way to make money is to start a religion. I'm considering offering an alternate title - maybe Jumping On Couches For Dummies.

But! That's of secondary importance. I've started playing NetHack again, and it's more fun than ever. Not that it ever wasn't fun, but every time I start playing it again I realise how much I've missed it. Just need to get out of the Gnomish Mines intact, one of these days. And maybe even Ascend, but that's not for ages and ages yet.

I've got a notion to play Rogue again. If you have a link for a win32-friendly Rogue binary, or for the Rogue source (how hard can it be to find a C compiler?), then please, please post it here.

And that's it for the moment. Off to go and set foot in the Dungeons of Doom all over again.

The difference is, there's nothing I'm unwilling to answer or discuss. I live my life as an open book - anything goes, nothing is too private or off-limits. Yes, I know I'm crazy.

I am intelligent, and sometimes insightful. I don't think I'm all that fun though. Really, I'm quite a boring person all told. I'm a decent conversationalist and gamer, but that's about it. People seem to think I'm more interesting and fun than I actually am. Well, at least I bore myself to tears. Very little ever happens in my life of note, and most of it is bad anyways.

I get hugs for breaking your layout? *blushes brightly*

I try to be intelligent and insightful. I fail often though. My curiosity is usually kept under control, but it can be absolutely ruthless in some situations. I won't push unless I'm allowed, but when I am, I tend to skip pushing and digging, and go straight for drilling.

Of course, when someone starts fishing for compliments around me, for something I already know they are, my response tends to be a viscious verbal bludgeoning with my clue-by-four, driving home the point that yes, they damn well are ________ and they better believe it... or else. I'm not always a nice person when I'm trying to make a nice point like that :)

But yes, you're pretty dead on there. Am I really that easy to read?

Vicious.

And no, not really. It's just that it's exactly what you've been doing all through this thread. Someone had to pay attention to the conversation. :)

[palmer-kun.livejournal.com]

Vicious? Perhaps. Not intentional, though.

So I have been completely transparent and obvious then :)

Good, that's how I like to be.

Though you haven't gotten the drilling treatment yet, nor the clueby-four, or anything I described.

All you've had is a gentle poke and prod.

I don't plan on provoking the clue-by-four, so you may have to demonstrate that one on someone else.

They tend to both love me and hate me for it.

Alas! Our conversation seems to have run dry!
