Books are a real source of inspiration for me. If I read a book that applies to my life I try to apply its words into my life doing somewhat similar things after a while though it just gets out of my mind. How about you guys have you ever read a book and tried to apply it to your life if yes have you been successful.

Sure, I can apply thought processes or ideas or opinions adopted from a book, but trying to apply anything else is ambitious, but nearly impossible. And once you think to try it, you realize you don't even know where to begin and it becomes pretty depressing.

Life is often better in books.

You read inaccurate books.

Inaccurate isn't the right word.

There's really nothing more insulting you could do to me than question my word choice.

The word fits. It is perfectly placed. Contest it. Do it now, with a structurally adequate argument, or else the only choices you have left are to edit your post or lose my respect forever.

And if that was just a comment off the whim which did not mean to question my word choice, then do not fucking WHIM at me on the subject of word choice.

The word fits. It was accurate. If you disagree, you're wrong. If you need me to explain why, then you are an idiot.

I think you meant to quote Hilla-rat. I question the accuracy of your quote-button choice.

No. I meant to quote who I quoted. Think it over and stop coming to the cult drunk.

Everything I said was in direct relation to the person I quoted. You're an idiot. That's why you couldn't solve a simple math problem and that's also why you think you can beat me at chess, which you can't.

Thought it over. If you, in fact, quoted the right person, then it would be pretty apparent that you're the idiot, according to your own standards, but I'm not gonna be idiotic enough to claim such things like some emotional high school girl that embellishes every bit of antagonism with some excessively judgmental expression, as if I'm some sort of champion of integrity. I happen to be pretty sober, too.

As far as the math problem, ahem, if you mean the riddle, I did solve it. As far as chess, it really becomes more apparent how ridiculous you are for not realizing that was a joke. I play chess casually, mostly on Christmas against my aunt and uncle. You can hold on to that oh so enviable, self-proclaimed title of "Best Chessplayer Ever". I promise I won't challenge it any further.

You wanna unload some more, chief?

I was talking to Hilla-rat Nighty. Stop being so silly and come kiss my toes in apology so I can tell you I love you too.

The problem with words these days is people try too hard to use too many of them to make a dumb little point. Chess is for dorks.

Seriously though. That was very uncalled for Nightrious. And while it amuses me that you would erroneously tell me off like that over something that wasn't even directed at you, it also hurts my feelings as I have never done or said anything, that I am aware of, to earn such disrespect from you.

I'm sick and tired of always trying to hide my feelings. And pretty weary of the internal conflict and turmoil of always wanting to scream at those I do tell them to that they should Fuck Off just because they forced them out of me.

Your words hurt me. If you are unable to acknowledge that kindly then I have no use for you. Because I really don't give a fuck about anyone who wants to be even slightly cruel to me.

Don't call me names. Don't insinuate that you may call me names. Just don't. And in particular, do not question my competence or intelligence with names, ever. Ok?

I mean, why does it always have to be chess? "You drive like an asshole and can't argue well when we crash. You're a really bad chess player!"

And I'm always like - (shrug) "I'm more a backgammon kind of girl anyway?"

Because girls ARE bad drivers. It doesn't matter what broad games they play.

Especially when they try to play those games on their phones while they try to drive! Do they think they're being meta?!

Which is why I made fun of Hilla rat for not using it to its full hyperbolic ability in her statement. And then you called me an idiot for questioning you. Excuse me, you insinuated that I am an idiot and that I was about to lose all of your respect. Like I need that shit at all. Let alone deserve it.
