All you have is your fire, and the place you need to reach. don't you ever tame your demons, always keep them on a leash...
I didn’t realize that becoming a professor at your alma mater was looked down upon but thank you for the enlightening information, I seem to learn more and more from the students here at Alcott every day. I hardly know everything about English and writing, but I’m quite sure that I know more about the administration than you. I can tolerate a student, enrolled in one of my classes or otherwise, continuously attempting to patronize me, but it’s more than likely that you won’t have the same experience with the other professors and administration that you may come across as you progress through schooling. I would advise you to maintain your cynical demeanor as I find it somewhat refreshing when compared to the ass-kissing that I usually experience but, perhaps, learn when to tone it down.
You realise you just talked in a circle right? Your whole point just then was 'Don't be a dick, but also keep being a dick' - thank you for your advice, oh wise professor. Where would I be without your guidance? I don't really care for the 'administration', as long as they do their job since its the fees I'm paying, that pay them. I don't think I should have to 'tone-down' anything for anyone, nobody got anywhere by doing that.
We’re hardly the best example of morality. We’re just as debauch as people think we are. You’re not doing it? This is my first time and it’s dawning on me that novel writing is not my creative calling.
Oh its actually how I spent my summer, figured it'd be detrimental to try writing a novel during mid-term exam month. Plus I had a lot of time on my hands, got it done pretty fast actually, 80,000 words in less than eight weeks. I'm sure you'll get better at it, its just a matter of finding a rhythm.
To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.
INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.
INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project. Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.
In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time inmarketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.
Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.
This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.
Probably the strongest INTJ assets in the interpersonal area are their intuitive abilities and their willingness to "work at" a relationship. Although as Ts they do not always have the kind of natural empathy that many Fs do, the Intuitive function can often act as a good substitute by synthesizing the probable meanings behind such things as tone of voice, turn of phrase, and facial expression. This ability can then be honed and directed by consistent, repeated efforts to understand and support those they care about, and those relationships which ultimately do become established with an INTJ tend to be characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications.

Sounds like a twisted version of that one show — Once Upon a Time. Well, before, they weren’t really “fairy tales” as much as they were inspiration for Goosebumps. I actually really like the original versions, though.
Not to mention the entire American education system, the Republican Party and the Westboro Bapist Church. Remember, its Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Though I haven't any Eves or Steves lining up so I think everyone is wrong on all counts really.
Oh all of them, I'm combining them into one verse. Its like Game of Thrones, but fairytale characters. And yes you're correct, they did! I don't know why they dulled down the original stories, they're so interesting.
Which original fairytale? Cause if you're talking the Grimm Brothers ones, no way, they're awesome, I've been working on an adaption of their stories actually, like going into detail with them and making them even more gruesome. I think the original Cinderella is my favorite, the evil step-sisters get their eyes pecked out by birds. So good.
No injuries to either parties. Sorry to disappoint.
Calm down, Creative Writing. I think some nursery rhymes might just be for the kids. I don’t want you to go searching on the moon for any cows that didn’t make it all the way over.
It seems there is disappointment everywhere right now, apparently Humpty Dumpty is most likely about some cannon that sat on a wall during the English Civil War of 1648. As far as Hey Diddle Diddle goes, it seems its either about the constellations, or its just complete nonsense. I'm very feeling very let down right now.
Were there any cracked skulls involved? I love that idea though, life imitating literature. I think some of those rhymes involved real heavy shit though, I mean there has to be some truth behind them right? Like how its never actually mentioned that Humpty Dumpty is an egg; some guy got like brutally fucked up and why were the kings horses and kings men even involved in trying to put him back together again, huh? What exactly was Humpty Dumpty doing on the wall in the first place? Was it a literal wall? Or a figurative wall? You know I think I might actually go do some research on this. Justice for Humpty 2k14.
Negative. I figure its probably because any Eve that I do meet, will obviously be my future wife whom which will ultimately end up leaving me for a guy who is either literally or figuratively; a snake.
I know it’s probably distasteful for me to be this excited about a party in the wake of a girl’s death, but all I’m seeing is a welcome break from slaving over my NaNoWriMo so it’s hard for me to be too remorseful.
If people actually thought it was distasteful, the party wouldn't be happening in the first place, I think you're fine. You're doing WriMo? I feel like I'm the only person in our degree that isn't.
