About me

Indecisive, argumentative, distractible, patient, quiet, persistent, fussy, imperfect perfectionist.

I don't tend to care so much for the answers themselves as the path leading to the answers.

Also, I like smilies.

If I'm logged into TSR, it's generally because I'm either:

1) bored;
2) helping, or getting help, with homework;
3) absorbed in the 'Games and Competitions' threads or the Arcade;

...or a combination of these.

The goal of communication is to convey meaning.
If the meaning received by the audience is the same as what you intended to give across, this is a welcome bonus.

Every time I see a misplaced apostrophe, or the word 'grammar' spelt with an 'e', I die a little inside.

Hello

An eternity of time and space

Friendship

To have a really good friend is the greatest of all gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange or payment. It is not inherited, as with a family; it is not compelling, as with a child; and it has no means of physical pleasure, as with a mate.

It is therefore an indescribable gift that brings with it a far deeper devotion than all the others.
