Wow...offensive AND poorly done :-|

This is fantastic news (er...I hope!). I fear a mix of Exo-Force and SW for this new "space" line, rather than a return to the ideas of the past, but I guess we'll see how it's executed...

As you know, I like posting true things ;-) That's a condition known as a harlequin fetus, and it's 100% real

I'd love it! At least if there was we could all share a cab :-D

*gasps* :-P Hey, I'm 21 as well (just turned it last mont). Welcome to EB, I'm sure you'll enjoy the community here

Well, I guess it's a matter of being able to separate religion from organized religion ;-) I see it as whatever you believe in is your "religion". Mine don't coincide with any one religion, but maybe with us it's a matter of calling the same thing by two different names

The sword is using a standard technique: 1 rod 1 short pin 1 1x1 clip 1 1x4 tile ;-)

But if you look, there is a constant curve

Combination of Sci-fi and Fantasy (Star Wars :-P ), though if I have to pick one it would be Sci-fi (thank god for that last option) :-D

From an e-mail I just got, USA/Canada only I believe

Congrats on the wedding. And finding a fiance

Well, I mean it's normal for children to see spirits, often times that's what a child's "imaginary friend" is ;-) As for science though..you said the supernatural is science, just one that can't be explained yet. Well, why? What is science to you? When you go into the supernatural, areas of religious belief...well...there are some things that defy science, even science we won't know for thousands of years. That's one of the truths I've had to accept, that I'll never be able to understand it all while alive because...well, there is no explanation for it all, at least not one based in molecules and energy

The one thing that strikes me about you two is that you seem to go about everything in a very systematic, scientific approach when it comes to this stuff. When I talk about this, and think about it, I don't think of a universe with rules, I just go by whatever "feels" right to me. Call me crazy, but sometimes rules are like blinders on a horse :-P It sounds like you two have some very interesting conversations though, I'd love to be a fly on the wall for some of them. Interesting that you married into this sort of thing, too. I guess some people can't escape their fate, eh? ;-) If I ever run into you at an EB event we'll have to have a nice convo :-D As for the cats...eh, you know as well as I do that animals and children are more in tune with the spiritual side than adults, so it wouldn't take any great influence to lure them away. A witch though? I'd really be interested in hearing more of the story

Keep in mind that it's a demo, and people still need to get used to the control scheme ;-)

Wow, nice find! Dino Chalk eggs? :-X

This technique is used a lot in building space MOCs, I just find it interesting that he fit an arch in there!

You could say that ;-) Peter Ehrlich asked me to vouch for Predator for his custom metal swords. I couldn't stop talking about EB X-D (to see peter's swords, check my bricklink in my sig)

Well I'm back from the worst day ever. My sock tore while I was running to class, which left a large chunk of skin missing from my right foot. Then later in lab a round-bottom flask cut exactly in half twice (at the neck of the flash, and the middle) for no apparent reason, and when I was cleaning it up, I somehow got jabbed with a hot sharp edge right into my arm that didn't bleed (probably due to the head of the glass). So today's going well so far *wacko* Anyway, my friend who is 19 is severely sick, so it makes sense with what you're saying. And I agree, Jinzo. Part of me wants to know how things really are, but another part knows that I never can or will know it all while alive, so I'm just content with knowing what I do know now, and waiting till I'm back on the other side till I remember Sometimes it is frustrating though, especially when you're feeling what someone else is feeling, and don't know who it is :-X That's also been happening for the last month or so.

Actually no, I may not be the best looking guy around, but I'm managing to hold down being a senior in my University (Johns Hopkins) fine :-D I did go through some things when I was younger though (being abused by my father and his side of the family), so maybe that's a trade-off? I really don't know, but thankfully I've been blessed with never being sick for long :-) Though I do know a friend of mine who's pretty good at reading auras and the like who has severe physical illnesses :-/ As for the rest...it's unfortunate. I mean my ex was always a weird one, even when we broke up she said "I'll probably get back together with you in two years, but if I date anyone in that time I don't want to hear a word about it when we do!" (sorry, not happening), and...well, she's always been very clingy and tried very hard not to be clingy (usually with anger), so I just assumed this whole thing was an effect of her being upset that I made a separation between us. But what you say makes sense about her being pushed to her limit with this emotionally which left her vulnerable for the darker spirits. It's nice talking to someone a little older who has had more experience with this stuff in this life. The more experiences you have to draw from (including those of friends), the more complete the picture gets, though I'm sure that we'll never get 1/10 of the way to getting the whole picture, and probably nothing we say is 100% right ;-)

Welcome! It's about time you registered :-P I'm sure you'll love it here

I mean I respect you (obviously), but more than a few of the people I know who are...knowledgable about this have said the same thing as I posted, which is the only reason I posted it :-P You see, it's 4AM, I have an exam tomorrow, and there's a LARGE possibility I wasn't explaining myself right. I'm not meaning to place humans on any pedistal, and I'm not saying that all humans have this thing inside them. What I am trying to say is that this thing might have been something tied to her, rather than some random darkness that is trying to push her into darkness. There are other people out there who deserve her scorn, hatred, anger. I'm not one of them. If one of these dark souls truly wanted to turn her dark, wouldn't they have done so by now on one of the people who she had a reason to be mad at? It's easier to make someone go over the edge when they at least have a reason in their own minds backing them up about their actions. With me there is no reason, other than I cut off any links we had left. That really isn't that big of a deal, and I'm really not the one she COULD have gone psycho about. I'm just saying, if she was going to be enticed by these dark spirits, wouldn't she have been enticed earlier, with a target easier to find than me? I mean the girl isn't really angry at me, it's one of those guilt/anger trips that people take to avoid responsibility. There's every possibility in the world that you're right about this, about where it came from, but this feels more personal than that. This FEELS personal. I mean this isn't the first time I've dealt with one of these, Jinzo, but this one is different...bah, I'm sorry, sometimes I'm really bad at wording things...but this whole situation is almost impossible to word *wacko* Basically you'd need to feel it for yourself. If you have some free time, feel free to concentrate a bit on it and tell me what you get, maybe I'm too involved to get a clear reading, meh. Though luckily the spirit does seem to be a little more repressed than it was before, but then again I'm feeling my ex is going through another cycle of emotion and is back in denial, so who knows? I just want to do well on this exam :-P

So what I first thought you meant by a portal was right ;-) I've never seen a portal, but I've seen what's in them...if that makes any sense? This is when I meditate, not just walking around :-P The time anomolies that I mentioned always do happen when I meditate and project myself somewhere though (once 15 minutes turned into 5 hours somehow :-D ) But strangely enough, I thought I was aware of all sounds and goings on around me... We think we know what this demon thingy is that's in my apartment though. While we knew it was from my ex, we figured out why. Familiar with the concept of guarding dark spirits? I figured that the whole concept of a dark spirit going to someone who caused a person a great amout of personal pain is explained by the fact that it pushes that person to their limit, to the end of their rope, and they give in a little, and it gets out. It's the only reason I can think of why a person's pain woul-great, now I hear a tapping from my bedroom as I type this. SOMEONE is being a very nosy spirit *sad* Anyway, why else would a dark spirit randomly decide to help someone by punishing their enemies? I don't think it's to turn the original spirit dark, since the original person may never know about it, and go on to lead a perfectly normal life. The only reason I can think of is that they are intrinsicaly bonded to that person in some way, and this must, in some way I can't think of, help to free them completely. For anyone who doesn't know the story about my ex, here's how it goes: I met her 4 years ago, and fell in love. She loved another man though, so I put aside my feelings and helped her get together with him (even though he was a total jerk). As things went along, she eventually realized that she loved me, and told me 3 summers ago. She didn't leave the other guy though. Instead she went back and forth between me and him (lying about me most of the time TO him). She'd "go out" with me, and break up with me say...2-3 times a week (very emotionally draining for me). Finally she chose to be with me just over a year ago. Keep in mind, many of you don't know me, but I pride myself on being a loving boyfriend. I'd always tell her I loved her, make her feel special, buy her whatever she wanted, do little surprises for her, etc. The works! She would always say how much she loved me (but only when I asked...) and how she didn't deserve me, and how bad she felt for being a total [censored] to me all those years. So what does she do? She never did anything for me, and then summer '06 she cheated on me with some other guy. Broke up with me (e-mail, didn't even have the guts to tell me in person), and dated him for a month. During this time she badmouthed me like you couldn't believe. Then she decided he wasn't what she wanted, and came back to me. I don't know why, I really don't, but I took her back. Just like I did all those other times when she would go back and forth between me and the other guy. She always did insult me too... Anyway, so she came back, and cried about how she'd never do it again because it messed up her whole life! Then...a month and a half after we got back together, I got another e-mail telling me to [censored] off, because I should never have wanted affection, how I should've just been grateful to have been going out with her, and to want AFFECTION was pretty much crazy. Her friends convinced her of this by the way. That she was perfect and wonderful, and didn't need to so much as be nice to me |-/ So that brings us to now. I haven't talked to her in two months (since the breakup), and I've made it very clear to EVERYONE (her included) that I never will so much as even talk to her again. I find out that she has been drawing (she's an artist) pictures of me getting disemboweled...nice, eh? In my dreams, and in meditation, however, she has tried to contact me. However, I've made it very clear that I'm not going to talk to her, even on the spiritual level (she is also fairly gifted in that area, though she's a fairly young soul in comparison. We've always had a strong psychic connection though, from the day we met. However I severed it, which is what I believe caused this pain, and was about the time the dark soul started coming around). So yeah, sorry for the long story, but how else would you guys get the full effect? Yes, this dark soul is basically the hatred of my ex girlfriend who used up one chance too many, and is now pissed at me (though really herself) about it. Her best friend confirmed just about all of this for me (she's slightly more loyal to me) Oddest relationship in EB history? I'd bet so :-| :-P

Congrats on the sale. I didn't win, but I'll take any spare pieces you have lying around X-D Seriously though, quality work. For most people I'd call it a rip-off, but with the work you put into that I'd say whoever won it got more than their money's worth. Just open up a shop already! *sing* :-P Oh, and keep trying to get Peter to join, he'll cave in eventually ;-)

Well, I meant while meditating, or thinking, but that's happened with games too :-P And that's quite a scary story! Though I'm sure the right storyteller can make it a thousand times worse *skull* (or is that better?)

Well, if THAT is what you meant by portals, there have been two instances in my life where time has seemed to go slower for me (thinking 5 minutes has gone by when in fact an hour and a half has gone by)
