I find my spelling has actually gotten worse in recent years, which I half attribute to being lazy and spending too much time on instant messengers. I make a lot of stupid typos thanks to rushing/second guessing/sitting at a near right angle to my desk and keyboard.

Still watch it from time to time. First two seasons will always be my favorite, but the latest season is just... no. Do not want.

The Mountain Goats - No Children Hrr, I love this song.

In elementary we weren't permitted to associate in any way with any kids in a different grade, even if we were related to them. I'm sure they did it to prevent the older grades corrupting the kindergartners or something, but c'mon :/

English and approximately four phrases of French (protip: don't try to learn French from an easily distracted Newfie). Plan to take classes in German and American sign language sometime soonish.

Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Clive Barker (specifically his young adult series Abarat), and... Several others who escape my memory at the moment.

Reserved for the Cat, Mercedes Lackey Standard gorpy chick fantasy. Flat, predictable, and outright ridiculous in parts, I wouldn't have read past the first page if there had been anything else I could read.

Jumping on the Spongebob bandwagon. I'd also like express my intense hatred for Angelica of Rugrats (and the sequel series, I suppose). I know the audience was supposed to dislike her, but the writers occasional attempt to make her nice once and a while always made me go FFFFF-.

I believe we have the largest urban population of Aboriginal folks in Canada... and soon we'll have the largest urban reserve if things go as planned. We're also known for crap drivers, and being the murder capital of Canada, being a load of rednecky drunks, and I think we might be the car...

My opinion? If it's what you want to do, all the power to you man. Both my parents are/were military, so I'm probably a bit biased when it comes to the armed forces, but having talked with them both about their time in the service I've heard quite a bit of good (which actually took me by...

Warm milk, cold bedroom, and very quiet ambient noise (usually one track of something put on repeat for me). If that doesn't work, I pop a couple melatonin.

Lyra Belacqua from His Dark Materials. She really pissed me off in the first book, then annoyed me in the second. Of course, it didn't help that I finished the last installment of the trilogy via audiobook and the VA they had for her was... shrill at best.

Probably make my brother get me one from the freezer. If it involves any more work than that? Not worth it.

Fable II, Portal, and it's been a while but Jade Empire always seemed pretty short to me.

Definitely on the gameplay > graphics side, although there is a point where I have to draw the line. If the graphics in a game are distracting me from the gameplay, then I have an issue with it (but then, distracting doesn't necessarily mean bad, just... poorly designed).
