IRL I usually alternate between "tired and want to be left alone" and "obnoxious and talkative." I like to think I'm a bit funnier but a bit less witty IRL, if that makes sense.
You didn't think I could get any less witty, did you.
Oh, were you wrong. :smallamused:

:smallyuk: One of those male things, I think. Mine starts to shut down its tear ducts the moment it realizes they get activated. Rather weird.
Not sure when it started, really, but it was sometime after puberty.:smallconfused:
In other news. How pathetic is it that I just had two nightmares separated by the gray-white nothingness last night about being infested by giant spiders ala the Zerg? I'm thinking pretty bad.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Eh, I can cry if ah want to, cry if ah want to, cry if ah want to.
Seriously, though, I can be emotional at times. Not afraid to admit it.
Coidzor: Pathetic? Or Pathawesome?

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Heh, I cry at weird times. Not sure what it is. It seems that when I'm happy about something I thought would never happen, I'm likely to cry, and when a character in a book that you're not meant to sympathise with dies in some dramatic way, then I cry. I'm weird that way. :smallconfused:

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
I don't think I've ever cried because of physical pain in my llfe.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
I think I have, but I think I was about 4. I remember being little and deciding that I didn't need to cry whenever I fell and scraped myself. And of course now I break bones and stuff and don't notice... :smallconfused:

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Then your course is clear. Brutal torture.
Also... Converging to n? What're you on? ...I suppose I should specify that this is the series as n -> Infinity. And I did in fact.
Anywho, I can now prove that the integral between -inf. and inf. of e-x2 = pi1/2. This is neat because there is absolutely no elementary way of expressing the integral of e-x2 as anything else than, well, saying 'the integral of e-x2'. (You could use the error function to define it, but that would be exactly the same thing.)

What level of maths are you studying? :smallconfused:
I wonder, because I'm in IB HL Maths, which is the highest the IB program offers, and the stuff you do still seems a bit above our level.

1st year undergraduate stuff. Also, I'm in the university would requires the highest qualifications for entrance excluding Cambridge because they smell and require you to go to interviews or something... I dunno, I never bothered finding out. But yeah, a mostly maths specialised university.
Also, I wouldn't say that finding the point to which a series converges is very complex at all compared to some of the epsilon-delta stuff we do.
-
Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
IB? International Baccaleureate or another IB education-related acronym?
I cry rather pathetically often. Not so much at physical pain, though that may just be because I haven't hurt myself badly since... well... ever, really. But at movies and books and stuff. I'm a bit soft. It's more socially acceptable though, what with me being a lass. It's a bit sexist really.
@P_Z: Yay for avoiding Cambridge! I laugh in the face of their unjustified reputation.

*retroactive Calc 3 asplosion* :smallannoyed:
I remember that from last year. It was terrifying. I think I got an 82 on that test.
But the rest of Calc 3 was fun, especially because of the general lack of paying attention.

Patience is finished. 'twas fun. I could happily do it a few more times.
After-show party was also fun, though at one point it seemed I was too inebriated to hold on to most of the popcorn I was trying to eat.
Oh, and I only got 4 hours sleep, in a sleeping bag on a friend's floor. I may be a bit dead tomorrow. Or I may sleep in and miss all my lectures. Again.

After cursory examination of your syllabus the content of your course is roughly equivalent to the content of the A level maths course with a few elements of the further maths course thrown in and a few elements of the original course thrown out. Though I don't see any mechanics in there which I believe is pretty universal in most Sixth Forms and Colleges here.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
The other night I had a dream my mom died and woke up SOBBING. It was very strange because (I know it sounds weird, but) I have lots of dreams about people dying and usually I'm incredibly blase about it, both in the dream and when I wake up. And that includes dreams about MYSELF dying. But this one was so vivid that after I woke up I couldn't stop crying and I lay there mentally calculating the effect my mother's death would have on my life.
Then I realized it was a dream. :smalltongue:
But anyway...yeah, I don't cry much. Except, apparently, the other night.

Egads, man, I can only guess (dream) what an operatic cast party is like. The visual you have implied about soggy popcorn antics is very charming. What does the gracious Thufir put in his cups?

:smalleek:
That reminds me. I had a dream that left me shell shocked for two hours, and made me want to vomit. It involved me as some sort of international police agent, and I went to some hideout in south east Asia where there were experimenting on humans. I came across some recordings, and my imagination made it very graphic.
I don't want that dream ever again.

The content of our parties seems to vary a fair bit. I've heard things about the ones before I joined the society: games of spin the bottle and the director trying to make out with like, half the cast or something.
Then last year saw breakdancing from one chorus member, accompanied by beatboxing, which then turned into a dance remix of one of the trios from The Mikado, and our stage manager taking the title of society gay chicken champion.
And then this time, there was much dancing, and singing along to whatever music was playing at the time. Interestingly, I was singing the female stuff at pitch, and some of the male stuff up the octave. It was just more comfortable, somehow. I love being a tenor.
The only common themes in these parties are alcohol and singing. Oh, and gossip. We gossip like anything.

Wasn't soggy. I just dropped it on the floor, my co-ordination being a bit dubious at this point.

I mostly drink smirnoff ice. It tastes good, and I'm fairly lightweight, so 3 bottles or less is enough to make me merry. :smallbiggrin:

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
My dreams are generally quite dull. I normally dream that I go through a normal day and stuff happens. It's usually about an hour after I wake up that I realise this didn't all happen. Sometimes I never really realise though and a week after think things like "didn't I have an exam in this a week ago" before realising it was only a dream. Then when I think about the dream I can't remember any details. That's only the dreams I remember though

Whoa... I thought I was the only one who did this. I'll dream that I'll be talking with my friends or my teachers or something or that I ate breakfast or missed the bus or forgot my assignment... it's wierd.
Of course, I also have dreams involving high-speed flying not-car chases, things with tentacles, nuclear bombs... :smallconfused:

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Thufirrus,
I meant the antician was soggy, not the popcorn. :3
Thank you for the exposition. As I've said before, I like you.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Oh, we're back to dreams? My, my, the cycle seems to move ever-faster these days...
I'm either completely mundane or surreal. The mundane ones have me more and more convinced that I'm not actually dreaming but rather looking into all the different ways my life may have turned out depending on what happened differently. Apparently I'd get around more, that much is sure...
Then we have the surreal: talking plants named Phil playing 40K in the bathtub.
...no, I was not drinking that night...

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
I dream mostly about being more intelligent or somesuch other improvement or some sort of superpower and then run scenarios based on recent events around this. For example I often dream of being able to create any object I wish out of thin air.
When it's not a dream about that then it's a woefully adolescent story of twue wuv.
Also, when my back is cold while I sleep, such as when I do not cover myself fully with the duvet, I have nightmares. Every time.

I can't remember when I last had a nightmare. I just don't get them

I do that as well. I'll be sitting at the computer browsing facebook, and think, 'Oh yeah, I should talk to [RL friend] about that... No wait, that was in my dream. DAMNIT.'
@Kneenibble: The word 'antician' does not appear in my dictionary. What's it mean?
And I like you also.

Aww'd. *hugs*
Lots of people? Even me?
If yes, I wanna know how I died...
Dreams..When I was young, I used to have nightmares about me falling into the gap between a ship and shore while walking on a plank onto the ship, but I would fall of and fall down between the wall of the coast and the ship hull.
But that stopped coming years ago.
Also, I come from a family of shippers(Heheh, don't confuse that for the people writing in the shipping thread) on my mothers side. So I've boarded ships plenty of time, though not lived on them...
