Yeah. Only my uncle's allowed to call me that.

Maybe that's 'cause you're a girl. I know I'd rather not have people thinking of me as cute. (Well, most people.)

Which is exactly why I don't like it. It sounds like something my grandma would call me when I was little.

Well, you could also argue that it stopped the war with a minimum of casualties, albeit civilian casualties. A full-on invasion of Japan by U.S. forces would very likely have caused much more loss...

You haven't seen that yet? It's great.

And what dialect would that be? AFAICR a 'g' followed by an 'o' is always pronounced hard in Italian.

Does anyone named Daniel like being called Danny? I don't absolutely hate it, but it can be annoying.

Did mel mean to write fagiolina then?

Being normal is overrated.

Haha. But yeah. I do that too.

I don't think I have many nicknames. My uncle calls me Stan sometimes. And of course a lot of people call me Dan. But other than that...

What's your last name?

Hmm... But what about if the owner breeds the animals? Then it is the owner making it happen.

How is lining up bic caps to the writing on the pen a weird habit? I do that.

I don't know. I think my eyes get a lot less strained playing video games than sitting in front of the computer.

What's so complicated about it? You just get your tickets, get a hotel room, and go. On a side note, why are hotel rooms so expensive?

It's a conscience matter in either case. Having privileges is just that, a privilege. In order to have them you must be "exemplary", as in, above and beyond what is required. You can be a perfec...

Found it. It's in the 9/22/2003 Awake!. The import of the articles seems to be the same, though, so I don't think anything has changed.

There's an article on tattoos in the 8/8/2000 awake. My understanding is that getting a tattoo is certainly a matter of conscience, *however* brothers who do so may be held back from serving as el...

Wow. I could do that for math courses, (I didn't even really start seriously attending the lectures until I was a junior and taking graduate level courses), but there's no way I could do that and ...

That's the one I was referring to. Is there another one?

You don't have to get it from your own college bookstore. Any will do. Or you can get it from the site that Ian linked in his response.

Haha. Sorry, but if you knew me you'd know that *nothing* having to do with conversation just flows naturally with me. Oh well, I should stop talking about this subject. I'm getting depressed en...

That's probably enough memory, though adding another 128MB wouldn't hurt. You're in college, right? You should be able to get an academic version of XP Professional. That should be somewhat chea...

What I don't understand is what is considered appropriate and what is not.
