Oh. Well I stand corrected, how odd for the text to mention Gothic, that's quite an error. Still, Gothic is a great game.

I understand what you mean, although I delegated my memories for several characters of my creation, rather than just one.

Just like you, it allowed me to use these characters as proxies to express my own hidden and true feeling, whether it was desire for destruction and havoc or for peace and love. (As much as they sound extremely contrasting concepts, I managed to work it in.)
Very rarely did I allow others to see my work though. I frequently thought during those days, that the repercussions of allowing people to see the kind of work I produced was too costly in comparison to its temporary benefits.

could someone link me to psychology 8th edition by gleitman, its really hard to find

I'm reading Dwight Swain's Techniques of a Selling Writer, and I'm stuck in a part.

"Indeed, in the largest sense, all objectivity is an outrageous myth. To assume that finite minds can successfully catalog the infinite is in itself presumptuous, and indicative of infinite ego. Our whole pattern of life demonstrates how tightly we're shackled to the limitations of our species; how closely confined by our very humanness. Boy turns to girl instinctively. We talk of communicating with extraterrestrial beings when we can't even converse meaningfully with a chimpanzee. The scientist takes it for granted that human life is more important than that of the laboratory animals he uses in his research.

What does all this say?
Merely that each of us has an orientation to the world . . . a built-in polarity, an emotional compass. Though we bow down before that useful tool, the concept of objectivity, most of the time our feelings still tell us which man to trust, which girl to marry; the car to buy, the price to pay, the faith to believe in, the candidate to vote for.
Understand, these feelings of ours may tell us wrong as well as right, as any woman knows when her husband first glimpses her new twenty-dollar hat. They offer no guarantee of intelligence or morality or taste. But they do at least give us an intimately personal guide, a standard."

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS HE TOTALLY RIPPED THE UNA BOMBER OFF!?

"One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is multiculturalism, so a discussion of the psychology of multiculturalists can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of Western Europe in general."
- Breivik

"One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general."
- Unabomber

I mean c'mon, he could've atleast taken the time and effort to write his own damn manifesto.
It's hard but then again, it's like he managed the hard bit already.

What the fuck? What is the most recent book you've read, and how/why did you like/hate it?

Does anyone know what kind of books Google is trying to scan using reCAPTHA based on the words it uses?

One bump before I leave for work (where I'll check it as soon I start 'paperwork')
