Tranquility

Dearest Victor, I have so much I want to say, but I really don’t know where to begin. I guess I will start by saying I miss you. You and I, we didn’t have a lot of time together and I can’t help but blame myself for it. I keep wishing I’d talked to you sooner, met you sooner so that maybe we could have had the chance to do all the things we talked about doing. The truth is, Vic, I still can’t believe that you’re gone. I keep telling myself you’ll come back; I keep expecting you to pop back up on Skype and we’d continue where we left off. I still feel perpetually trapped in that Saturday when you said you’re going to run that marathon and we’d talk when you got back. I waited for you that day; I’m still waiting for you now. I don’t even know how many times I’ve went back and read the chat logs – and even now, you can still put a smile on my face. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone like you before. I have never clicked with anyone so instantly and so naturally like I did with you and I can’t help but feel robbed and cheated because I don’t think anyone will fill the hole you left behind in my heart. Do you remember all the silly plans we made? That you’d teach me how to bake; that we’d go running together; that we’d have cocktails by the pool; that we’d sit on a bench and comment on passersby? Do you remember all the times we jinxed our jinxes or that it would take us half an hour just to say goodbye? There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about you, but mentioning your name is always so hard. Our time together may have been brief, but every minute was worth more than words can say; I may have had you for only a few weeks, but I will remember you for a lifetime. You once told me I reminded you of you when you were young; I found it silly then, but it means so much to me now. I will be proud if I will be at least half the man you were, because you were a force of nature and anyone who had the luck of meeting you knows that. What I regret the most is that I never had the chance to tell you how much you mean to me – that it only took you a couple of days to become a huge part of my life. And even though you’re not here anymore, that still hasn’t changed. I made a promise to you months ago – something silly and inane – but I want you to know that I am going to keep it. I will never forget you. Love always, V

Turing was brilliant - unfortunately, homosexual activity was illegal in the UK at the time. When they had castrated him, Turing didn't so much care that his sexual drive no longer worked - but he felt that the chemical imbalance caused by the castration in his body was also affecting his brain, and that was something he couldn't make peace with. They say that he injected an apple with cyanide and bit into it - that's how he committed suicide. And the same apple made an appearance later on, as tribute to possibly the greatest mind modern computing has seen: PS: Some say this is Newton's apple, some say it's Turing's apple. Maybe it's a tribute to both *shrugs* Frankly, the fact it's bitten kind of makes me think of the latter.

What you write online can be misinterpreted by its recipient - but so can what you tell someone in person. So, I wouldn't really say it's any different or at least not that much different. Besides, use smiles to emphasize your point/feelings/intention. They exist for a reason, not just to represent LOL. And I have to say this - as far as the "stern messages" comment went, as Yoda would say: Indicate it well, you did not. I too interpreted it differently, with a negative connotation. Frankly, I don't see how anyone could not o.O So maybe had you put "stern" with quotation marks, it would've indicated you were not being entirely serious, but as it is... Just sayin' bro.

Actually, Fish-boy, I rather like these two: g) Possessiveness, 'hot and cold' treatments, and further property damage (removing the engine to your car to prevent you from driving off somewhere) is all okay as long as your boyfriend has abs of marble. h) During sex, it's desirable to get bruises all over your body so you'll look like a trainwreck in the morning. It won't hurt at all. And if he apologizes to you in the morning you should be like... why did you apologize? I'm wearing these as badges of affection. While your reasons for disliking Twilight may be deeper and more profound, I personally just cannot swallow such uninspired, rank-amateur, sad attempt at low level fantasy. Just thinking about the "plot" makes me roll my eyes.

No, you're totally right I loved all of it. The card, YT being a pet (and GOOGLE's pet to boot!), etc. It's brilliant

LOL exactly. Every time she changes her look, she says "They'll get used to it" which is the EXACT same thing I say when FB changes the layout or interface. And Bing asking Google <3 And Google so desperately trying to push his other products <3 score lol.

Just an addition to this:

These are very good, Fishy. I especially noticed I make mistakes with speech tags and punctuation And since I am currently trying to write a story, I find this blog post totally demotivating for some reason xD So on that note, screw you Fishy lol

I discovered Russel a while ago He has some funny vids. This one is not a particularly fun one, I must say though

LOL I love this. Especially Google, YT, Twitter and Facebook

Lol I'm sorry, but I am totally addicted to this/these guy(s). And if they are brothers (which only seems logical), that makes it even worse But if I had to choose one, I'd say the one with glasses. Just look at the faces he makes Adorable.

Back off, he's mine!

Oh, and many people say you can see it's a different guy (ie, twin) due to the different hairstyles. But in this vid, where Jon's hair is longish, his "brother's" hair is also longer. And in the newer ones, where Jon's hair is shorter, the brother's is also shorter; it's just styled differently.

I'm confused whether he does or does not have a brother; all common sense dictates he does. Yet, he titled the song (made me giggle btw ) as "Duet With Myself".

Uh, hell no! I'm claiming him >
