Oh WOW! Look at you! AWESOME!

Well...I've got to bless myself my character stuff.

I've tried to change my username, but it says it's all out. I'm going to take your suggestion and go with ~*Lady Trekki*~ .

I think you have to have the needed blessings on hand (not in the bank). Has your join date been set to the old join date? You have enough blessings on hand if you get the veteran's discount.

 

[LadyTrekki]

I think the blessings needed is 11,000...which I have showing so it should have worked.

 

[~*Lady Trekki*~]

Ok...nevermind! You were right!

So YAH! Changed my name!

I love Cherryh's "Foreigner" series. Those are some of the best-described non-human motiviations/instincts/social mores/ I've ever read. And the hijinks that ensue as a result of the inevitable human/non-human motivation misunderstandings make for a great read.

oh no kidding- I'm anxiously waiting for the second one in the third set to come out.

My fave characters are Banichi and tAbini's grandmother.

It was interesting reading about some aspects of ancient japan, apparently there seem to be a few similarities so I wonder if CJ cherryh got some of her inspiration for the ateva race and culture from ancient japan.

OOH! Same here. Especial Grandma!

I was struck by the similarities to even the similarities to Medieval Japan. The question the novel continually raised was: Just how much "quicker" are nature-born impulses than nuture-born ones? Looks like a photo-finish to me.

quite so, as well as how much difference can be made because of biological reasons vs culture reasons.

Whoa...farm out!

Yeah...there's more to nurture than culture, though they're interrelated. Not sure if there's more to nature than biology...will have to ponder that.

Banichi is a perfect example. He's a product of his culture, but he thinks outside the cultural AND biological norms because of his Grandmother's nurture/influence.

 

[White~Horse]

Whoa...farm out!

Egad!!! She digs John Denver!

No kidding. Ya I think it's mostly cultural... but the biological aspect makes you think tho.




I made a mistake the other day; I accepted my friends offer for me to borrow Stargate season one..... there went all my time.



So how do people here like to celebrate valentines?


Love y'all
