Are you taking a philosophy class right now? Is that what's inspiring 90% of your threads?

Let me know when the sky falls down so I can catch it.

It's always fun when someone takes a philosophy class for the first time and they get very philosophical for a semester.

maybe you should have stuck to roald dahl or something back then.

it may have warped you a tad, lady.

-oh, and to you asking why it matters: most women i know are pretty grounded no matter how intellectual they think they are.
