Hey! Looking for a pen pal! I'm a male, and live in the US. I'm almost 20;about a month away. I'm into music: classical, grunge, punk, ska, jazz, and a little techno. I'm in a few fandoms beyond that. I consider myself first and foremost a Whovian. Doctor Who is pretty much my life. I'm getting into a lot of classic Sci-Fi, like Star Trek, Princess of Mars, and the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series. I'm a Star Wars but as well, and love comics. Marvel over DC, but I am looking into those more too. My other biggest fandoms are Assassins Creed, and Mass Effect. I'm a writer. I'm working on my own comic book, but, alas, I cannot draw! Kinda need someone to help with that bit... Other interests are movies, some sitcoms, literature, and D&D. (D&D is kind of a big one) I'm not really sure how this works... so I just just message me, or reply to this, and we'll chat, no?

To be honest, I think it’s the people that you work with who change you the most. I think working with Peter [Capaldi] has made me…not be scared of a right and a wrong—trying to do as many options as possible for the edit, exploring as much as possible and throwing ideas in the air and seeing where it takes you.

A client phones in to ask for some changes to their website.

Client: I want to make these changes to our corporate website

Me: Ok, what’s the address?

Client: ….

Me: The address of the website, the URL.

Client: ….

Me: It starts with “www dot…”

Client: Oh! That, sure, it’s “www dot [address].”

I go through the website with her and go through the changes they wants to make. It takes about forty minutes because they want a massive list of changes.

Client: Also we would like some changes on our charity website.

Me: What’s the address for that?

Client: ….

Me: www dot?

Client: Right! It’s [address].

We go through the changes they want on the second website, and they’re relatively minor. This process only takes about ten minutes.

Me: Ok, that is all fine, but I want to check something on your corporate site. It might be affected by changes on your charity website. If you can navigate back to the corporate website I will show you what I mean.

Client:  What website?

Me: Your corporate website, the one we looked at first

Client: Sorry, I don’t know what you mean.

Me: You have two websites. You refer to them as your “corporate” and “charity” websites. Go back to the “corporate” website. It’s the first one we looked at.

Client: Sorry, I don’t know it.

Me: You just gave me the address, at the start of our call, remember? “www dot etc”?

Client: We only have one website.

Wondering if I’ve gone insane, I then read the first URL she gave to me back to her. Twice.

Client: Oh, THAT website! That’s not a “corporate” website.  Actually, we don’t need that anymore. Can you please get rid of it?

Me: But what about the long list of changes you just asked for?

Client: We don’t need them anymore, we’re getting rid of that site.

Me: (screaming silently, forever)

Client: What time should I come over?

Me: Why would you come over?

Client: To watch you build my site.

Me: Sorry, I don’t work that way. 

Client: Come on!  I new to this internet thingy so I think it would be best if I came over and sat by your side while we work on this together.

Me: I won’t work that way. It will take too long.

Client: Listen, I’m paying you to make a website for me!

Me: Yes. However, you are not paying me to tutor you on how to make a website.

Client: That’s unacceptable. When can I come over?

Me: How about I refund your money and we call it a day?

Han and Obi Wan in the afterlife

Obi Wan: so did you raise an ungrateful emo trashbag who ended up killing you as well?

Han Solo: yep

I live by the Creed. Literally. I know it’s just a motto made for a fictional story, but everyday I see how much the sentence “Nothing is true, everything is permitted” perfectly reflects mankind and my personal ideals. So I guess I can say that this game changed my way to view the world.

That new Star Wars poster is beautiful, but just crying out to be ripped off for a Doctor Who Time War version. Enter Will.

My father was slaughtered by a six-fingered man. Was a great swordsmaker, my father. When the six-fingered man appeared and request a special sword, my father took the job. He slaved a year before he was done. Six-fingered man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price. My father refused. Without a word, the six-fingered man slashed him through the heart. I loved my father. So naturally, I challenged his murderer to a duel. I fail. Six-fingered man leave me alive, but he gave me these [scars.] I was eleven years old. And when I was strong enough, I dedicated my life to the study of fencing. So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the six-fingered man and say,
