• I was supposed to have recited the poem, "Paul Revere's Ride" to my class, but since I hadn't *actually* memorized it, I instead orated a very colorful retelling. The instructor was so enamored, I received an A.
  


• I always had a book with me in school. When not working on a project, I was reading a novel. All my book reports

It would have very amusing to know you in your childhood I think!
Debunking Christmas for the rest of the kids...how funny and sad!

Shall I put you in touch with Chrissy concerning your OSX NFS issue?

While I appreciate any assistance I can get, I don't want to burden anyone. I'm assuming its an engineering support level thing based on the number of replies I've received from my submittal to the Apple Support Forum. If you mention it to him in passing, and he seems intrigued rather than dismayed however, here's the link: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1744044&tstart=0

Thanks!

And I didn't have many friends when I was younger. As you can imagine, bypassing the requirements for assignments yet getting credit for my antics didn't bode well with my classmates. It was a hard time to be an individual and took me a while to learn to dismiss other's perceptions of me.

Public school does not foster individuality. There are some great teachers out there who respect it and encourage it.

Baxter is flourishing at NMMI. I think part of that is due to the fact that he is finally respected for the same things that brought him so much grief in mainstream America.

It is hard to be different from the world, or your friends, but so worth it in the long run!

Your wisdom makes me smile, and I'm so very happy that Bax is doing as well as he is - I know he was nervous about what he was getting himself into, but the courage to follow-through on uncertainty is a trait I admire.

I was separated from normal classes early on in life in order to foster creativity, and to think outside the box. My mathematics suffered for this, but a measured amount of elitism can be a useful tool in the right hands.

But how is it that you consistently do so well on your Perform (Oratory) and Perform (LJ Post) rolls? Have you been putting points into them at every level-up?

While overwhelming appreciation of my humble musings are always appreciated, I tend to drop all my XP on charisma. Anything else is just a spell of illusion brought forth from my magical Ring of Chin-Wagging which was mined from a line of ore in the Dwarven cave known only as "Chatty." It was then forged in the famed Goblin Hearth of Gab and enchanted by the Elfish Order of Pontification.

I'm with CineMedia Promotions and am the publicist for the TSCC soundtrack on LaLa Land Records. I saw your posting about the soundtrack and wanted to let you know the CD will be coming out on 11/18.
