Psh, after this game? I'm totally doing it from now on. I'm actually forcing a word bubble onto my faculty mentor for my Master's program like... right now. I'm using it as a way to explore the themes of a short story I've written. The frequency of word usage as it relates to the meaning I'm attempting to convey...

It's fabulous...

aha, you've given me an idea, for the opening narrational post that is.

Is this an actual major? I can imagine someone majoring in the connection between people and the words they use.

Well I'm a psych major, just took a class on Emotion and we studied something called the Dictionary of Affect in Language, and it focuses on the emotions behind certain words. So yeah. haha, it is a type of major. Quiet brilliant.

Yes, yes and yes. I'll spend the next 5 hours at work pondering my awesome powers since apparently I can't set things on fire.

Yay! More!

I've decided to add an adendum to the "Not voting two days in a row mod-fire."

If you consciously decide to not vote on a certain day, for whatever reason, it will not count against you. You, however must let me know you are deciding to abstain from voting by...

++No vote

If you do not do this, and vote for no one, than it will count as a missed vote towards the mod-fire rule.

You may take back your no vote, by retracting it, and that will count as your retraction for the day.

Cool?

An evil butterfly? Well, I'd like to play, but please don't describe this - horror - in graphic detail, ok? *shudder*

I'll be Doktor Von und Zum Quatsch, an evil (but seemingly not as evil as the Dark Monarch) genius with the ability to instantly turn the most reasonable statement into incomprehensible nonsense and win scrabble games using only my own name.

Allow me to introduce 'Doctor Electron', whose affinity with the forces of electricity allows him to predict the precise moment a light bulb will blow.
