Hmm... A random topic. This is my kind of forum!
My current random thought, as a writer, is the concept of something's effect on society, contrasted to said something's effect on the self. Something similar to the character Alex's "fun" in A Clockwork Orange; how he sees gang-beating and burglary as a good time while society and the media sees it as an atrocity. I find it a fascinating topic for a novel or essay.
A random thought as a person is that I think I'm going to like it here. The people seem friendly, or so I've seen from lurking for a few years now, hahaha.

Did you know that there is technically no such thing as a fish. It is not a classification used by biologists, since there is nothing to connect all the animals we call fish, or to separate them from other animals.
The longest place name in the world is the capital of Thailand, commonly abbreiviated to Grung Tape (this is roughly how it is prounounced). Written in full it looks like (deep breath)
Krungthep Mahanakhon Amorn Rattanakosin Mahintara Yudthaya Mahadilok Pohp Noparat Rajathanee Bureerom Udomrajniwes Mahasatarn Amorn Pimarn Avaltarnsatit Sakatattiya Visanukram Prasit. My humblest appologies to the Thai people if there are any spelling mistakes
This means in English (or thereabouts) Great City of Angels, the supreme repository of divine jewels, the great land unconquerable, the grand and prominent realm, the royal and delightful capital city full of nine noble gems, the highest royal dwelling and grand palace, the divine shelter and living place of the reincarnated spirits.
You can see why they shorten it 
Don't really have any random thoughts at the moment, since my brain is just reppeating "Go to bed Sunshine, it's rediculously late!". Never mind

Thinking a lot about Kaz these days. Sent him a PM ages ago - no answer. He's not been on the Tavern for a few weeks and his last posts sounded very stressed.
I really really hope he's okay.
Lots of people here rooting for you Kaz, and I'm sure others have you in their thoughts. I hope things are going okay... if they're not, there's people here who I'm certain could offer an ear or advice.

^^ This.
I'm more of a Tavern stalker than a poster lately, but I still take a big interest in you guys here. Hope Kaz is okay!

this is the problem of overly securing personal info.
You could call now.If you had the number.
i hope he is fine
do anybody know is the thing he is doing is over i mean he was taking medication therapies but is the physical treatment done.
@Saddle
If you are in the facebook group then you can find if he is there .i think he is and probably there may be a way to communicate with him. maybe phone number or a close friends contact. Good luck.

I don't think he's been on Facebook lately like he used to, but if he is, I'll give him a message.

I had a friend go through the same, except she was a half/half. I meant her around the time everything started. Honestly, she was happy, but she lived in a place where she became hated by everyone for what she wanted to do for her happiness. She'd lived her life raised as a guy, and realized in her teens that she just didn't want that. She had abusive lovers, and that only made matters worse. But she became involved with support groups and now works to help those going through the same out.
Now she's happy, possibly getting married, and lives in a place where she is finally accepted. It's miraculous how those shadows of the past can lead to such happiness at a later point.

I joined the Facebook group but haven't looked at it much to be honest, Blame my insane train enthusiast mates lol. *edit* If i do post on the group, My fb name is Willow.
As for random thoughts, Is it just me or does fan made music seem more appealing than music made for a large scale profit?
I feel i can connect to the creators and relate to them more because of it.

That could be it, I definitively enjoy it more than music purely made for money purposes.

I haven't joined the group yet. :B Although, I don't know what you guys would think if you saw my Facebook page anyhow. XD Right now, it's mostly music, randomness and photos of my friends.
Still sad since my Japanese friend left before we could really get to know one another. But she left such a cute letter.. I know when my Chinese friends leave, I'm just going to become a mess. >.<
Hoping my guy friend will help me write a letter to my best friend in Chinese. Not sure if it would go well.. haha some of them have trouble translating English to Chinese (they speak Mandarin). He has trouble translating Chinese to English, I've noticed that.. but it was cool when he talked about his name. I asked him what his name meant.
I can see clearly his family wanted him to bring wealth. XD His entire name means gold. He had a third part of his name, but his grandmother had it removed for superstitious reasons. He didn't tell me how to say it romanized though, he only showed me the characters.
EDIT: Hmm, it would appear I've been blocked and unfriended by a couple university friends on facebook.. I don't know what's up, and since they left campus already, I'll have to get someone else to find out.. :/

I decided to change my sig picture since it's been a while. I picked art from Revolutionary Girl Utena, which I've really been enjoying lately. I keep thinking I should change my avatar too, as the RP was a long time ago and is very unlikely to resume...

I suppose that's a good point. It's probably a bit confusing for new people, but it is nice to have a reminder of how long we've been here and the fun things we've done.
