The People Above And Below You

[Guest echtrae]

^ feels ^ has wasted time reading a book

< is sure ^ full of use(less/ful) information now about the classical world

v should read War of the Worlds and the Time Machine

[Nanaea]

^ Nag, nag, nag.

< Will get to them someday.

< Has an impressive stack of books to read first.

V Wants to know what's in <'s stack.

[redsliver]

^ What's in your stack?

< has just emptied <'s stack. Considering movies and video games before getting back to reading.

V thinks all writers need to read and often.

[Guest echtrae]

^ is turning his back on reading for a while

< tries to read as much as possible

v is a voracious reader

[redsliver]

^ is often correct

<'s girlfriend's a movie buff and so that makes me a movie buff recently

V one of those people who must insist that the book is better than the movie.

[Guest echtrae]

^ reluctant movie buff

< feels that in most cases the book is better than the movie

v feels that such an argument is pointless

[Keith Inc.]

^ concerns about pointlessness are not pointless.

< Often feels that 'book better than movie' claims are pretentious BUT can appreciate a discussion where the claimant can back it up

V can back it up

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is correct on some topics.

< Is sure she can back up claims that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban" was a far better book than movie.

V Doesn't want to hear that arguement.

[Keith Inc.]

^ probably can support that idea

< would stipulate ^'s argument

< just means that many people use 'book was better' to indicate that they actually read it

V reads much more than they watch movies.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is close to right.

< Would say its almost an even split, with the books coming out on top by a little bit.

V Watches tv more than V reads.

[Guest echtrae]

^ has well balanced information input

< is fairly well balanced over lifetime

< is hungry now and not too concerned about such things

v is willing to feed <

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Will get fed eventually.

< Is wondering if ^ will share... < is hungry too.

V Thinks we are adults and should be able to feed ourselves.

[redsliver]

^ sure so long as they don't mind feeding < right along with it.

< too snowy and windy to go out and get laid and to order in.

V thinks having one's SO over should not be called ordering in.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Actually may have found the perfect name for having one's SO over.

< Wonders what we'd call it when you live with the SO

V Has a witty name for it.

[Guest echtrae]

^ ponders many interesting things

< thinks that a live in could be called marriage, but that is probably a bit too common place

v might be able to come up with a better name for such a thing

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Has a talent for naming things as they are.

< Thinks perhaps a live-in SO could be referred to as home cooking.

V Thinks that should do.

[Guest echtrae]

^ has an odd view of a live-in SO

< thinks that a better name for such might be "fun in the house"

v thinks that is perhaps far too wordy for common use

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Has little faith in the wordiness of the outside world.

< Is far wordier than she needs to be most of the time.

V Isn't quite wordy enough.

[Guest echtrae]

^ is a very wordy person

< tries to avoid being wordy, it seems to intimidate people

v is confused by <'s statement

[redsliver]

^ understands that big words make dumb people feel small.

< also understands that big words can be seen as compensation.

V believes that small potatoes can make the steak appear larger.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Is correct when speaking of dinner.

< Is not so sure about the metaphor though...

V Believes every good metaphor must be true.

[redsliver]

^ is incorrect

< believes that any good metaphor is mostly comical.

V also prefers comedic metaphors to literative ones.

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Now knows my secret.

< Knows that the secret isn't big enough to worry about.

V Wonders what V will stumble upon next!

[redsliver]

^ appears to be baiting < with ^'s secrets.

< is wary but careless.

V is steepling V's fingers and saying something about coming into V's web little fly, mwa hahahaha

[dazzledfirestar]

^ Should know that < hates spiders, so another metaphor may have been better.

< Really can't think of any horrid secrets that could be dug up...

V Has a few of his own!
