In the old four element scheme, we have earth, air, fire, and water. I’m the creative demipyromaniac, so I’m always a child of fire. That said, moderation and balance in all things. It isn’t just a trite saying. It keeps people from any number of ill fated early ends and stray disasters. Or at least from unintentionally making themselves miserable.
...but for me it’d come down to some hybrid between … “do I really need this?” and “am I really, no wait... do I even have time to cycle through all of these, … no, no, no, NO FEWER, this is TOO COMPLICATED, AUGH!”. You can see that somewhere between answering a spectrum of questions between those two quite a lot of stuff would actually get stuffed into garbage bags.
Some April Fool's Day of yore ThinkGeek jokes about an iCade gaming cabinet for your iPad. I didn't have an iPad at the time, so it was amusing but irrelevant. Later on they created this gadget, really did, because the internet let out a collective "WANT!" Now I have an iPad, and I've spent the last couple of weeks imagining getting one.

You'll see why I got irritated. The post "this is why I'll never be an adult" mirrors some of the unfortunate cycles of my creative life. The meme – not the way the article features it but the way the meme has used the phrase "ALL THE THINGS" resembles the reason for this cycle in both fortunate and happy and unfortunate and unhappy ways.
Here's a concept I don't hear discussed that often, but I think it a useful distinction: a “story game”. What's a story game? Here's a concise explanation, in just five paired similes:
Gamer geek. That's me. Have been since forever, since before computers. Games are what I love to play. Computers have only made it … “worse”. I've been avoiding discussing specifics games, though. Why I'm done with that.
Day 98, second to last, and we have some serious issues to address.
So let me lead off:
Why doesn't the internet have a Frequently Ululated Questions list yet, and what can we do to correct this?
Why hasn't there been an archvillian who perfected a Presumptuously Avuncular Ray (PAR) yet? Has anyone else perfected a PAR yet, even lackig true archvillain status? ... Which of this year's GOP presidential candidates have been hit with beta versions?
