Sit down, have a whiskey, I'll tell you all about it... [low jazz, clinking glasses] I first saw her on Zero Hub in 20X3, the day of the space-wars... She was [insert Raymond Chandler epithet] like a priest in a hyperspace jump... [cut to flashback] Emma! Don't die on me, Emma! Two weeks from retirement.... [fade out]

- now all's I got is this scar - right where the phaser blast hit me - that's all I've got left of her... but enough about me, where's that drink...

Fluent in Russian. I just really, really like Tolstoy... also passable in Romance languages, should the need arise

When autumn's warm, it's wonderful. But tbh, I tend to end up hating every season once I'm actually living in it. Damn you, relativism!

Unless you're also like 3 feet tall then 132 pounds isn't "fat" by anybody's standards. But yeah, physical appearance is important. Among a long list of other reasons, one of the reasons my parents split was that mom got tired of my dad not physically taking care of himself. He didn't ever go the dentist or exercise or anything. It wasn't shallow on my mom's part. She just didn't want to be dragged down by somebody who only cares about going to work and drinking beer/watching TV when they get home. Her telling me that that was one of the reasons for the divorce really resonated with me. Now that I'm married, I plan to do as much as possible to make sure that my wife continues to find me appealing. Being in grad school, it's hard to find the time to do anything but work though. I used to exercise daily and I want to try to get back in the habit during the summer.

Yes, I know 60kg isn't much, that's my whole point. I'm a thin person, and I don't want be judged for my thinness (which is genetic), any more than an overweight person would. I don't support people making statements suggesting that weight makes you unsuitable for a real relationship. I'm not sure how relevant your parents' divorce is. Sounds like it had more to do with laziness than looks.

More to the point: If you're attracted to somebody, you'll know it. If you really can't decide that - don't start a relationship with them

Great stuff, Trix.

Bioshock. I gave the critical acclaim a chance, and have tried completing it several times, but God that game bored me.

I find it mega-weird that the new Screened people won't even show their faces, do a small podcast, whatever. It's a really impersonal place now.

As for Tested, considering those Mythbusters guys have written about two articles total...why did they take over the site again?

guys Tricky is a ROGUE he outsmarted that wall with agility and wit, only you didn't notice because of admiring Vinny's biceps
