  1. kaitlin what is this bizarre-ness you speak of? that is so NOT true, which means it must be a joke ;P at least not nowadays.

     

    You doubt me? :o

     

    Can't say that I have. There have been times when I'm staring off into nothing as you say, and suddenly realized that I had my eyes closed, and that I'm sleeping. All the while maintaining the image of whatever I was staring at.

    Its a wonderfully surreal experience.

     

    That is an interesting feeling. It's almost like your brain is keeping that *file* of what your eyes see open for a little longer than it should.

     

    And I am back home now.

  2. I grew some more freckles at the beach yesterday.

     

    And now for random: Babies are coneheads when they are born from being pushed through and nurses smush and smooth their skulls into a round shape. Your head shape was made by somebody you do not know or remember meeting if you were not a c-section.

  3. No, I don't want Mat's part at the end. rolleyes.gif

     

    You know, maybe where he travels to is the Illuminator's main guild to build a ton of Dragons, and then a cliffhanger as they blow the crap out of the Tower of Ghenjei.

     

    I was hoping Mo's rescue would be the major part of part one, with the WT being attacked as the second part's major climax and the last being all of TG. That way she could be there for at least two full books.

  4.  

    Bah, that's what they're doing in my head at least, and I'm far more comfortable that way. But I'm definitely not RJ. If I had been, Thom would have looked better and Mat would be the Dragon Reborn :D

     

    *nods* Thom would have been Mo's age and Mo would have been the Dragon Reborn. :lol: *gasp* Is that heresy?

     

    KoD sort of spoiler about Thom looking not so old:

    In KoD Noal is described as being an old old man and Thom was confused as being the leader of the party without any mention of his scrawnyness by that Seanchan guy. For a lot of the descriptions I figured that they were in the PoV of Mat or other teens... and maybe to him Thom was older and more crotchety than he really was. Or something. I convinced myself of that. :twisted:

     

  5. I think the difference between a woman slapping someone and a man slapping a woman is the power dynamic. Men as a whole are giving more of a societal privilege and allowance to be violent. "Men" as in the idea of masculinity. There are a lot of good guys. And we have a bunch on this board. :twisted:

     

    The spanking thing is something that always makes me think of bdsm/kinky stuff. But in RJ's era it was used less in a consenting way and more of a humiliating power dynamic way that was totally unacceptable. :/ It's amazing how acceptable domestic abuse was back then. It was the thing that everybody knew happened but no one mentioned. It was an elephant in the room, I guess.

     

    The Thom thing bothered me a lot. He was supposed to be fatherly toward her too during that part, but he wasn't really her father. That made it weirder. RJ has a lot of spanking with Faile and Perrin to, which was very disturbing to me when I found out that Faile was as young as she was.

     

    Tosh, I agree with you and it was very well said. Better than I'm able to say! I agree with a lot of what you all have been talking about in this thread.

  6. I missed everything! I was driving down to the beach and then having no internet last night. :twisted:

     

    Now I'm here. The wedding's tomorrow. I'll take pictures but I didn't bring the card reader down here! I'll upload when I get back home.

     

    And I missed Olivia's picture. :lol:

     

    There were dolphins close to the shore this morning. I like them and all but I can't get over this feeling that they are probably actually the arseholes of the sea.

  7. LO! I called upon the Patron Goddess of Hastily-Drawn Stick Figures, and made unto her an offering most pleasing. Through the blessing of She Who Resides in Microsoft Paint as the Sun Resides in the Heavens and through Kaitlin's powers of necromancy, I conceived a work of art to rival those artists who were named after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. For great justice, BEHOLD THE GLORY!

    My stick figure women have no bosoms. *lament*

     

    I love this new art.

     

    The NS Comic Aes Sedais stole all the bosoms and added them to their own. :twisted:

  8. Hi, welcome to the forum, MierinSedai. :cry: I hope you like it here.

     

    Yes, it would be nice if there was more of an indication in the later books that they had that relationship before. It's good to hear your thoughts about it. There can never be enough NS discussion (and pillowfriend talk).

  9. Marie calls me spawn of Rand, for that is who I resemble minus the tallness. :P I forget who the other one is that I am spawn of but that is not important now. :cry:

     

    Olivia 2, I sort of picture you like a girl Interesting Man but without the beard and now you have gained a pregnancy potbelly. :o Everyone else that I have not seen I picture as they have described themselves but all stick figure-ish with their avas floating above their heads.

     

    We had a stick figure thread... where was that *searches*

  10. Bonus pic! :o It doesn't look like you have a potbelly to me, and what is the big green thing? :cry:

     

    Liv - Sadly, I do not live by the beach. I'm going there for vacation though. I live near Philadelphia, in PA. Home of cream cheese. :P

  11. Exactly, exactly. Lan must have gotten lodged in RJ's head while he was starting to write EotW because Chuck Norris sneezed 1000000 miles away and one tiny bit of spray landed near RJ. It was not the full power of Chuck Norris, but enough to represent the awesomeness of "Lan" (who is not unawesome).
