You are an earth Dragon! You have a knack for Nature or animals, and are peaceful, careful, chariming, and optimistic. You can throw a tantrum now or then, but who doesnt? You value simple things in life, such as friends, familly, and Nature.
You are the Blue Fairy. You are peaceful and calm. You live in harmony. You're trustful and have confidence in everything you do. But sumtimes you can be a little depressed. But other than that you are cool, calm, and collected.
I've gotten back into writing music and stuff, and of course MY COMIC!! YEAH!! It's good sometimes to go back to the things you let go for a little while.
Artists
Steve Skroce, as far as comics are concerned, Caravaggio, Francis Bacon, Hieronymous Bosch, Albrecht Durer, some Giger, Francois Boucher, Monet, VanGogh, Leonardo, Goya, Peter Paul Rubens, Guercino, Klimt, Shiele, and some others I can't think of right now.
Music
This list has grown alot, thanks to some musically generous friends...
the greatest violinist ever!
(Don't be silly, please...)
(Pre-Long Road Nickelback, I should say.)
I'll add more later... looking up all those little pictures got to be a bit tedious =P I like "Classical" (all the stuff that's crammed under that one label), Cultural music like Celtic, Native American music, some Indian stuff, and of course Jazz (Passing Through by David "Fathead" Newman is great), and some other stuff
In a nutshell, I'll give anything a listen but I generally don't like rap, country, or poppy Britney Spears-type crap. I try to be open to new music, and I believe my somewhat "erratic" music taste describes me best.
Movies
I like alot of horror movies, but lately it seems "horror" has degenerated into nothing more than random loud sounds to throw you off-guard before some poorly rendered "monster" jumps out of the shadows. =P Either that or a bunch of "naive" naked chicks being mutilated by some psychotic men, which is another theme I'm sick of.
Other movies I like are The Matrix,all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies OBVIOUSLY, 28 Days Later, The Sixth Sense, Saw, Ichi the Killer and Carnival of Souls, which are both recommendations from a friend,Wizard of Gore, for the sheer fact that it is so TREMENDOUSLY TERRIBLE, Signs, Unbreakable, The Little Mermaid (hehe), Fantasia, actually just about every Disney movie, Hidalgo, The Ring, The Crow, Akira, The Craft, Neverending Story, Nightmare Before Christmas, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Donnie Darko, Shawshank Redemption, Donnie Brasco, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2, Misery, Vampire Hunter D, Kasshan: Robot Hunter, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Willard, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Tattoo, American Psycho, This Is Spinal Tap, Rashomon -- old but very interesting, The Machinist, Batman Begins, and a bunch of others...
Television
I like... lesseee... cartoons, crime dramas, forensics shows, "paranormal" thingiemabobs... METALOCALYPSE, SpongeBob Squarepants, Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy, Robot Chicken, Cold Case Files, Law & Order (the original and Criminal Intent), REBOOT was a glorious show!, Fairly Odd Parents, The Daily Show, Spaced (why don't they show it here in the states?!), Ghost Hunters, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Camp Lazlo, uh... some other stuff. (I know, I know, I'm like... 12 years old.)
Books
Fiction Grendel by John Gardner Many Waters by Madeleine L'Engle Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson Hey Nostradamus! by Douglas Coupland
the Dinotopia books (originals by James Gurney and the one spin-off I read) Midnight Graffiti, a horror/suspense compilation The Sun, He Dies by Jamake Highwater
Non-Fiction

And loads of others I can't think of right now.
Heroes
My mom, cause she's probably the gnarliest mom on earth.
Daniel Johns, Scooter Ward, and anybody else who's musically awesome.
The folks in the military. Even though I do not believe in the war, it doesn't mean that I don't believe ine them.

I'm a pretty nice person, I'll try to help anybody out, as long as you don't try to take advantage of the fact that I'm nice. I'm really fond of people who practice compassion -- not just for other humans, but animals too, and ALL animals. There is no fundamental difference between a cow, a frog, a chicken, or a dog, and if farmers did the same crap to dogs or cats that they do to "food animals," they'd all go to jail. "Don't swallow the lie. TryVeg.com"
If you want to try something new, go to Vegan Dream and get yourself some no-meat jerky. Speaking from the perspective of a kid who grew up in the country with an inate liking for jerky, I can tell you, having tried it now, that there is absolutely no difference whatsoever. It even beat out meat jerkies in the World's Best Jerky exhibition! word up. So go buy some!
My roadgnome really really REALLY likes cake.

***LATEST NEWS: Latest news reports from the Pamelot News Network (PNN) have announced that Pam is planning a move to Omaha, NE. "OMGz, i'm so sick of Kansas and loike i'm looking forward to school and finding new peoples 'n junk," Hardico. is reported to have said while tuning up her plastic sled. "And it might loike... actually snow there!" She hopes to invest in meatgrinder technology, bellydance/guitar classes, a multi-region DVD player, and new-fangled suction cups that will allow effortless scaling of buildings.
Neptune is the 8th planet from the sun at a mean distance of about 2.8 billion mi (4.5 billion km) with an orbit lying between those of Uranus and Pluto.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anybody who wants to meet me, as long as you're not scary. And my friend Pete, who started me on the road for animals.
As far as myspace is concerned, I like meeting new people most of the time, even if they're absolutely nothing like me. Sometimes you find more in common with people who, on the surface, seem to be your polar opposite. Anyway, anyone on my friends list who I've not met yet, i'd like to meet them. ^_^

Hey Pam, sorry for the shameless mass comment/plug...
The Bishops are heading into the studio next month to start on our demo and CD. Before we do that though, we wanted to let you know about a kickass, all-ages ska & reggae fest we're playing at that you might be interested in. Please check out the flyer and take a look at our page or message us if you have more questions!
hey pam you're such a wonderful person, i really do feel sorry what happened. i do understand a great loss of a loved one :( and how it makes ppl feel. stay strong and i hope you have the courage to live on. *hugs*
..That's just one example, I can't remember how many times they've done that. It's a total conservative trend, though. For example, when Fox News accused Obama of socialism, that became the new word. When they said "tyranny", THAT was a new word. And when fascism got mentioned that bought it up to three. So now Obama is a tyrannical socialist-cum-fascist.
Ronulan is a perfect example of this. I hate that when she throws out 'smart' terms like 'Keynesian' people (including Tebow) go "You're so much smarter than the other Repubs!" No. No she's not, she just has a memory for phrases and quotes. You can say something dumb with a great or a bad vocabulary, it's still dumb.
Ron Paul, as well. What a totally useless politician. He won the hearts and minds of the internet community but was, essentially, a crackpot with numerous hopelessly idealistic ideas that seemed almost completely detached from reality.
Of course, when I say this I get "That's better than socialism, anyday!"..
..I dunno if you saw my American Politics thread, but what I was doing was posting news stories and videos and I had this thing in my head like "If anyone wants to spew bullshit in this thread, I'll call 'em out and demand sources" but, of course, it didn't work like that.
For a while the morons stayed out and I had to deal with Reaper13 acting like a particularly lovable sheepdog that occasionally runs into table legs.
"I agree with you, Lexi!" "But, uh, I just wrote you an entire argument AGAINST something you said and... ah well..." "Ah well! Yeah, that's exactly how they think, those politicians! They don't care about anything!" "That's... uh, not the right... position to hold and... y'know, I think I need to get myself some breakfast..."
Then - and I don't know when it happened - I returned to find it swarmed with Ronulan and SCC idiocy.
I don't think they even get that they're trolling, either. Going into a thread, refusing to read or watch anything IN the thread that's been posted and INSTEAD just spouting bullshit about how the people who voted Obama are on benefits... That's trolling. Going into a politics thread and spouting tonnes of bible quotes without any reason. That's trolling.
Another thing that makes it hilarious is that they adopt my criticisms and use them on me. For example, I say "You're trolling my thread" they go "Ah! Troll! New word in my vocab!" and call me (and Missy) it all the time even though I'm/we're not trolling. =p..
SoColdChick's most annoying thing is to spout bible quotes (more on that later) and right-wing talking points about things like political correctness without any reason. She'll suddenly come out with rallying warcries to the board's Christian contingent, such as "ALWAYS remember to say Happy Christmas!" Yes, because saying "Happy Holidays" isn't much more convenient for a lot of people who may have non-Christian friends and doesn't make much more sense for shops that serve people regardless of religion.
As for the bible quotes thing, she'll say things like "We should respect the laws of God and not man" in political threads. I've tried explaining that that just doesn't work when there're so many religions across the world, but she doesn't seem to be able to follow any train of thought to its logical conclusion.
Ronulan's Sean Hannity thing? I can't remember, probably somewhere in my American Politics thread. I've decided I'm going to respond to all her posts with pictures like this: ... At this point the sane people (me, you, Lorii, Tebow, Lucas, Missy) out-number the morons (SCC, Iansportsdude, Ronulan, Albert, Conrad) so it's really not an issue. It was for a while as they'd just turn any thread into an Obama-bashing circlejerk given half a chance, and I'd end up being there stuck all on my own. THAT pissed me off. Now the dumb squad just makes me laugh (and, of course, Conrad left the squad pretty early on for whatever reason)...
Oh, and yeah, it's been AAAGES since I saw you. I'd love to hang out again, for serious, but that's probably not gonna happen/ a good idea.
Either way, I miss you and think you're fuckin' awesome. Found a bunch of our old messages to one another on the 'Deth forums and got a few good lulz out of 'em. You are proof that that whole "Women aren't funny" stereotype is BS. =)
I've been kinda at war with a trinity there; Ronulan - she's like the Skeletor of the group, she deflects everything with pseudo-intellectualism and an encyclopaedia of irrelevant quotes, SoColdChick - Bible quotes? Check. Ignorance? Check. Whinging about political correctness? Check. She's like your total house-bound right-wing stereotype. Last one's Iansportsfan or something, he's a bit lacking in personality and he's basically alright; he doesn't like to stick his neck out unless the other two are there to protect him and he can be quite civil when isolated.
So if it seems like I'm just being an arrogant snotty bastard at this point, it's out of the fact that in a very short time I've given up on them all, haha. You think for a while "if I correct people, sort through the propaganda and isolate the facts, they'll learn, we'll all grow as people, it'll be great."
Then you realise people don't get to grow up ignorant without actually actively TRYING not to learn. =p
Ronulan crushing on Sean Hannity was a particularly funny moment for me. "He's a bull and I LOOOOVE bulls" "Yeah, shame about the whole hypocritical bullshit thing, huh?" "YOU JUST CAN'T HANDLE RIGHT WING POINTS OF VIEW!"
