Is circular logic bad to use in day-to-day conversation? If so, why is it bad? What logic is suitable for what occasion? Is there an unspoken rule that I skimmed by too quickly? -Naiilo

Removed.

will it? really? -Naiilo

I decided to post some more. Let me know what you think. ][][][Removed][][][ I know people dying and suicide is a bit on the normal side for a lot of stuff here. I wrote this so that people could make their own descisions on it. It has a couple different applications to current issues, at least, in my opinion. -Naiilo

Well, thank you very much Rad. I appreciate the compliment. To let you know, I don't have stories on the site. I have writings, but not sure about any of them yet. -Naiilo

Very good. When do we get to hear more, young poet? I'm looking forward to what else you might have instore for us. -Naiilo

Rad: I agree with the philosphy that declared sexuality is not important, but just that you fall in love is. The all-over attachment we call love is a fantastic thing. I can't say much more based upon my own experiences. --As far as favorite stories are concerned, I have read quite a bit of what's on awesomedude.com already. Like I said, I will read anything I can get my hands on, and I do. I can say that Jamie's "Scrolls of Icaria" has caught my eye more than several other stories. I happen to like the character development and the fresh feel of a story that is not set in contemporary times. Other than that I won't reveal the others I've read and my thoughts of them. I do want to reccommend that some of you read the Will Carter series featured on crvboy.com. I'd read just a little bit when the story sucked me in. It is a little dramatic, but worth the read. That's all for now. See ya, -Naiilo

English-Professional Writing. More specifically technical writing and science writing. I plan on either a well explored minor, or a double in Mass Communication-Publishing/Advertising and a minor in Italian. Why do you ask? -Naiilo

It makes perfect sense, I suppose. Why join a writer's forum, if I do not share? It really seemed self defeating and meaningless. So, I decided to share something I wrote awhile ago. Just a small piece of prose that describes an experience. Let me know what you think. It is puposefully vague, so if you happen to have a question, feel free to ask using either AIM or PM. The e-mail addy I have listed is primarily for online shopping, so I tend not to check it so often. Here goes: ][][][Removed][][][ -Naiilo

Okay, so here is the beginning of a list fo replys: To Graeme: Thanks for the warm welcome! To WBMS: I don't exactly hate labels, but I do dislike the implied social meanings attached to them. I have friends that label themselves as strange things like "straightedge"(that one is kind of ironic because the kid is so obnoxiously, well not to use a label, but gay), "goth", "punk", "preppy" and the sort. To categorize onesself, as with social labels, is to restirct yourself from experiencing something new, exciting and different. Also- If you like you can call me "Address Label", or something similar, but in a crowd I cannot guarantee a response. To AJ: I have written poetry and short stories, but I don't think that I would be comfortable posting them just yet. The creative stuff I write for myself, the technical stuff I write for others. Thanks for the invite though. To jamessavik: Thanks for the hello and the heads-up on Jamie's "Scrolls of Icaria". You're right-It's fantastic. To blue: Hello, I think it's very nice of you to take care fo your grandmother like you do. And don't be worried about that closet door of yours, I hear they disintegrate with time. To TR: I have read some on Kinsey, and some of it makes sense. There is a new film I'd like to see about him, but haven't had the time. Much like you, I have found myself not to be the 'norm' as they call it. Most of my family and friends think so too. But I don't concentrate on what's normal and what is not. My goal in life is to have fun, find something I love to do, find someone to love, and experience as much as possible. Right now I am in the process of obtaining a passport so I can experience other cultures. My uni has a summer term course taught in Rome that I'd like to take, not to mention the internships and such overseas that sound fantastic. Ok, I think that is everyone...Back to MacroEcon homework. -Naiilo[/b]

Hi there, Well, as you should all be able to see and/or know, I am new to this forum. I found this site via jamessavik's (sp?) link on the CRVBOY.com forums. I am a uni student going for a BA in professional writing, also considering a double with publishing and a few foreign language minors. Okay, so a little about myself: I live in the states, love to travel, and read everything i get my hands on. Right now I am reading short stories by Oscar Wilde, the Divine Comedy, Vita Nuova, Joesph Stiglitz, as well as some non fiction and the stories I find online. I have a great interest in marine biology and oceanography, not to mention other sciences, but i absolutely cannot stand physics. Other than general academics, I love art, languages, painting, photoshop, and scuba diving (even though I have only been once). Now on to a probably important subject: I expect that most, if not all of you guys expect me to be gay because of the nature of the site and forum. Personally I dislike labels, to call myself 'gay' would not be correct, but I am definitely not 'straight' either. In all truthfulness I am still sitting on the fence with my sexuality because I am attracted, quite heavily, to both genders. I have dated both, and prefer both the wonderful feeling at night of protecting a woman in my arms and the feeling of holding a man while I sleep. It is really a hard thing to cope with, but I am certain that in the end it will work itself out. I'm only 20, so no rush there. Anyway, that's all for now, but I do have an issue that I will soon ask all of you about concerning 'gay culture'. See ya', -Naiilo
