I saw that typo and hoped nobody would notice it. :p

This good man has cleared up the confusion.

Of course. So am I.

Ah, yes, now I get it. I don't believe this to be one of those cases. I remember thinking: "I don't want to play with that, stop trying to make me." It's not something I've been told. I'm still quite sure it could just be a dream, though.

Nothing less that gel can control my hair. :p

I only put some gel in my hair so it doesn't just hang flat. It looks terrible. My avatar shows what I do to my hair.

Having paedophilia = being attracted to children. Not wrong. Committing acts of paedophilia = having sex with a child or watching child porn. Definitely wrong. What do we classify as a mental instability? Both peadophilia and homophilia are sexual preferences, not instabilities. Instability is when the paedophile can't control his or her urges, which leads to committing acts of paedophilia.

And you're absolutely sure about that ...? Just kidding. Well, we didn't say it was aimed at you, merely at the statement itself.

Agreed ... again. I don't believe having those attraction means you're inevitably going to go out and rape a child. EDIT: Yeah, thunderer said it way better.

And I didn't even need a hammer. [/terrible, terrible pun]

But that's the thing: He's asking the question. I do in now way condone paedophilia, nor do I think it should be allowed. Children are in no way ready for that kind of thing, neither mentally nor physically, and so they shouldn't be involved in it. But I agree with Dyson, I believe it's all in the head. Per instinct, sexual attraction is aimed at reproducing, which means a 20 year old is per instinct more attractive than say a 50 year old. But we humans often find people/traits that are NOT optimal at reproducing, for example children, who cannot even reproduce yet. It is in no way more criminal to have that kind of philia than having, say, homophilia. The problems start when peadophiles cannot control their lusts and start acting them out in real life.

DomJcg wins. [/thread]

Sorry, I can't quite figure out what you mean?

Ah, my bad. I didn't realise. :p Technically, the Elder Wand was the only thing that was protecting Harry. But he was also a lot more confident. This is likely partially due to the fact he knew about the Elder Wand, but I like to believe that the fact that he accepted death and sacrificed himself prepared him mentally for the fight. Even with the Elder Wand out of the equation, I believe he stood a fair chance against Voldemort.

I have a memory from daycare, but it's so blurry I'm not even sure if it really happened or if it is something I dreamt once. I was annyoed at this daycare person who tried to make me play with some toy I didn't want to. If it's real, then it's probably my earliest memory. It's a little hard to place it chronologically when you're not even sure it happened, though.

I've wanted to be a Jedi for as long as I can remember. I still do. For a short period of time, I also wanted to be a fighter pilot (blame Star Fox). Preferrably a Jedi fighter pilot (blame Rogue Squadron). On a more serious note, I've never really known until now what I wanted to be. I can't remember having any particular job dreams when I was younger. I guess I took one day at a time then. Now, I'm pretty sure I've found my future way in life: Classical philologist. I wouldn't have dreamt of it a year ago, but the compulsory Latin in the beginning of the first year at the gymnasium completely blew my mind. Now I'm hooked.

It gets boring after a few times.

... That ... doesn't make sense at all. Which post did you reply to?

Agreed, he solved one of the many mysteries of women.

When trying to really make myself tired, I play some game until I feel I can't focus on the game (or anything) anymore. The problem is that my mind is then spinning and buzzing so much that I think up things that seems to make sense, but when they're carefully analysed they're completely and utterly ridiculous. At that point I'm luckily so tired that I'll quickly fall asleep.

I believe last time was when one of my friends said to me (and I like to believe it was with reverence), that I "was probably hardcore at everything". I replied that I wasn't hardcore at ballet.

I know how you feel. I've had trouble falling asleep due to my mind wandering off. I'm not having too much trouble anymore, though it's easiest for me to fall asleep when I'm watching something on TV that's not so interesting that it keeps me up, but still interesting enough to keep my mind from wandering off. Either that or I just have to be really tired. The funny (or not so funny thing) is that when I get home from school and rest on the couch, I have to fight to keep myself awake. And I hate sleeping in the middle of the day. It seriously messes up my internal clock.

I like the transition from black into blue. It looks really nice.

Volemort DID use the Elder Wand, so he couldn't have won. I don't remember the deal with the Phoenix Wand exactly, though.

You know I love cats. And the picture Konfucius created in my mind was great. :p
