One of my favorite words is unique in that it has 4 sequential vowels.
Queue.
And it's pronounced "Q", basically. Yeah. 4 sequential vowels, and they're all pretty much unnecessary.
Also, it's not a real word, but if people want to use it, that's cool with me. Try saying this out loud: "Swagnficent."

It's a classification system. The first digit represents the universe, and the second represents the "instance" or, as some people believe, the timeline.
Think of the recently released albums. Universe A is the trolls' universe. I suspect it was named A because it's the earliest universe we look at. We probably won't see the universe that came before A, but it does exist.
Universe B is the kids' universe. There's no reason why it's called B, just that it came after universe A. That's all.
Then, the number could either represent the 'instance' of the universe, or the timeline. So, for B1. You could say that it's the first timeline/instance of the B universe. It's the first because, as far as we know, it's the original unaltered timeline. You could call it an instance though. Basically, what separates B1 from B2 is the Scratch. If you think of them as timelines, B1 and B2 are identical up to a specific point. Before the timelines diverge, it is simply the B universe. Some people would rather call them "Universal instances", however, because we really don't know how much of an effect the Scratch had on Universe B.
When referring to specific characters, it's easier to use this classification system than it is to assign a name to every version of every character. Dave's brother can either be called "Bro" or "B1 Dirk". Dirk's brother, similarly, can be called B2 Dave or... whatever people have begun calling him. It works with most characters, as long as you remember to say "A_" when talking about trolls. A1 Mindfang is the same character as Aranea, while A1 Vriska is most certainly not the same as A2 Vriska.
I think people should use this system and spread it around for more people to use, because it honestly gets crazy when people try to differentiate between characters by saying "Alpha" or "Beta". Absolutely impossible.

I've been using XP my whole life, bro. Simply the best OS.
One thing I dislike about Win7 is that you can't change between windows as fluently. Is there a setting or something that disables automatic bunching of windows into one icon? I want to be able to change windows in one click. I don't want to have to click the Chrome icon and then select the individual window icon. It would make multitasking so bloody hard for me.

I would recommend you get Win 7 while you still can. The compatibility may be similar, but the interface is very different.
Ah. This is where I betray the newness of my interest in software (~6 months). As opposed to my interest in hardware (~6 years)
Hmm. Yeah. I dunno, bro. As long as Win 7 is as easily navigable as XP, I'll be happy with it.
Right click on taskbar -> Properties.
Taskbar buttons -> set to never combine.

Pointy shades, bulbous rump
Ironic coolness, rhymes I pump
Shatterproof sword, Causal cap
Layers of satire, I take no crap
Flashy moves, tasty groves
Never lose, always the one to choose
Faster than sound, flashing around
Cutting fools down, fighting black clowns
Jet board, can’t be ignored, check out the sword
Slashing through imps like metaphysical gourds
Grist hoard, everything afford, won every single possible award
Shit so easy, I get bored.
Got Cal, best pal, me and him is an entire cabal
Bounce a coin, try not to look sad;
It won’t get to land before I send you
Beaten so bad like a kick to the groin
You can’t beat Bro at shit, I’m simply the best there is
Holding a monopoly on the asskicking biz.

I can't say that I keep a list of awesome words around, but I can sort of feel the textures of words and some of them are very interesting. Some of the words I like include:
Cusp
Nit
Lever
Ocean
Scoop
Grape
Tax
Vested
Lobe
Pluck
Best Words ever?
What about Arachnid (I'm only saying that because I found out about the Arachne myth in Greek Mythology and I liked it)?
Or Tartarus, as in Dark Tartarus (I need to lay off the Greek Myths).
or my personal favorite:
Epistemophobia- Fear of knowledge
That's all I got.
I'm lost. Did future dream Rose just merge with past Rose to make her go to sleep/wake up?

This sounds kinda very plausible as Bro's symbol, actually.
I hope Hussie puts it open-end up. Horseshoes facing down don't collect good luck and in fact spill it out.
I may or may not have been ninja'd, but in some cultures an open end up horseshoe is bad luck because it becomes a seat for an evil sprite to sit in. :'D
Every time Hussie posts it's like a chorus of angels come down and tell us all to go fuck ourselves because we're wrong.
I feel enlightened.

For every joke, and funny panel hussie put up, I can remember like 3 injokes spawned by the community. Or see all the direct responces he did because of stuff just random memes that were coming up in conversations at the time.
For every plot twist, I can remember 10 crack theories that were insane and the occational one that got it right in the most awesome way. The hilarious freak out reactions.
And it occurs to me that it just makes the whole thing that much more amazing.
Thanks guys. Keep being amazing.

I just learned last week that "brouhaha" is a word. Like, an actual word with a definition and everything. So cool.
Otherwise I like anything with lots of "t" sounds. I like words with lots of sharp letters and hard vowels. Like tincture.
Identifying myself with Candy corns!And now for my dramtic coming out that does not matter because nobody reads signatures! Have you any interest at all in TvTropes? Click on this thing and several of your wildest dreams will come true.
I got fed up with the spoiler dungeon in my previous signature. It was confusing and I did not like it. The basics boil down to this: The guy in my avatar is some variation on the work of stock photographer Gilles DeCruyenaere, probably edited insanely by a person who is super awesome. There is a fifty percent chance that that person is Ash, but sometimes other people get in on it too. AVATAR BY NIMZ WHO IS AMAZING
Also I made a tumblr because I hate myself. And now these days you will find me mostly on the tumbr. I do love you much forums. We had a good go of it. But tumblr fits a person with my attention span so much better. I still check here often, but I do not post as much. Fell free to contact me where ever, and if unsure, assume I love you.

hmm? what's that spell check? the word doesn't exist? well, guess what? Add to dictionary!
I'm not good at putting things into words, so lets hear from some people who are:
"I don't see that dying robs life of meaning, any more than a period robs a sentence of its meaning. Meaning is what you put into it while you're alive. -Thumpalumpacus
"A million people can call the mountains a fiction, yet it need not trouble you as you stand atop them. -xkcd 154
"You are trying to understand madness with logic. This is not unlike searching for darkness with a torch. -Jervis Tetch
"It dosen't matter weather you win or lose, as long as you look really cool doing it! -Julio Scoundrél
"Any technology, no matter how primitive, is magic to those who don't understand it. -Florance Ambrose
"Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from science! -Agatha Hetrodyne
"We try things. Occasionally they even work. -Parson Gotti
"Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless. -Sherry Anderson
"History is written by the victor. History is filled with liars. -Captain Price
"Good and evil are utterly meaningless terms that vary from society to society." -Yahtzee
"Whoever wins this war becomes justice!" -Donquixote Doflamingo
"In books, and ages, and life, the ending can never truly be written. -Atrus
"The key to strategy... is not to choose a path to victory, but to choose so that all paths lead to a victory." -Commander Cavilo
"That which can be destroyed by the truth should be." -Patricia Hodgell
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." -Oscar wilde
"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is." -Yogi Berra
"Not everything is a metaphor! -Candace
"Respect is not owed, it is earned." -Unknown

"I don't want to survive, I want to LIVE!" -Captain B. McCrea
I'm a fan of words in other languages which don't have an English equivalent~
Backpfeifengesicht (German): a face badly in need of a fist
Chantepleurer (French): singing at the same time as crying
Arigata-meiwaku (Japanese): an act someone does for you that you didn’t want to have them do and tried to avoid having them do, but they went ahead anyway, determined to do you a favour, and then things went wrong and caused you a lot of trouble, yet in the end social conventions required you to express gratitude
