Meridian is something from Final Fantasy or something. This is a game music message board we are talking about. I am Xelebes and always will be Xelebes.

I won't lie, my *original* name had vg origins (But not Final Fantasy......Secret of Mana if you want to be specific). But I'm also big into Astronomy and the Meridian is an important point in the sky (also loosely means highest point). So when I changed (i.e. shortened) my handle to Meridian, it was not because of FF or Fantasy Novels, but for my love of the stars (and doesn't THAT sound cheesy!)

Ahhh. It's just not a name you hear often. If you're into fantasy books at all, she has an amazing series: Symphony of the Ages. One of the characters is called Meridian; he's basically father time. I'm currently waiting for the 5th book to come out, but I've gotta wait til August. Damn.

Nifty. Sounds like a comic book I saw a few months back called "Meridian". I never read it, but the artwork looked quite tasty.

Perhaps I'll look into that series...

You and your astronomy... It's a really nice sounding name, though.

I think you can go to Elizabeth Haydon's Website and check it out. I'm not sure that's the correct address but I'm fairly positive.

I've read the four books I have twice now... I went through 2 and a half of them in the 2 weeks I was in Hawaii.

Stupid dial up causing stupid double posts.

 

[Dragonphreak]

I have read her work (Elizabeth Hayden that is) and I love it, good stuff. Meridan was an interesting character though them.

The cover art to her books look very similar to the cover art of Robert Jordan's books. Perhaps the same artist?

Wow there really are young Folks on here i'm 18 outta MD/DC. i wasn't sure i'd beable to find any other youngins oh yea this is post like 4 and i'm still struglin through the mass o stuff

 

[UnseenChagrin]

Haydon is one of my favorite authors. I would love to see one of her books have more of a focus on Meridian actually.

I'm not sure about the artist. It's possible it's the same as for Jordan's, or just a talented person using the same style.

At any rate, I'd much rather being reading that than waiting for my next class to start! At least I have Lit...



Hope everyone's enjoying their day.

hello to all and seeing as this is my first post on here. after just a year and a half of reading all the stories of my liking, a hearty hello to the regulars.
I am 20, your typical college guy, but one problem is I couldn't get a girl if I tried, only because im highly picky, and the worthwhile ones are either sluts or taken. So ladies, if your interested, drop a line my way, but seeing as that is highly unlikely to happen, I will just laugh at myself for being a coplete loser like everyone else is, and just hope I get some breaks in my life one of these days.

Oh and I am still looking for a girl near Western New York, and probably will be for a good while.

Well, I guess if I had any advice for that, I'd either say stop being so picky or enjoy being single. Not really good advice, but I've known a few people who complain all the time that they are single, but they limit their selection down so much. Well, good luck with that, and welcome to the board.

 

[UnseenChagrin]

Oooh, advice time?? Yay! *happy dance*

First off, welcome.

Second off, self-defeating attitudes aren't attractive. If you introduced yourself to all the women you ever met like that I can see why you're still single. I personally feel confidence is one of the most attractive traits out there. Not arrogance, just a confidence that you're worthwhile and you have a lot of good qualities. Don't harp on the bad ones, it's an automatic turn off.

Thirdly, if you don't like sluts then that means they're not worthwhile. So really your only problem is you're picky and you have a habit of going after women that aren't what you're looking for- not a big deal, I am too. If that's the case you just have to kinda deal with it or find ways to surround yourself with people that you find to be quality.

Fourth, don't go looking to get into a long-term relationship, it freaks most people out. Go out looking for friends and people you can connect with and be open and honest with; this is the basis of a good relationship anyway. Really the only difference between a friendship and a relationship is the intimacy, and it's even possible to have some intimacy with friends.

Fifth, I might just be talking from my personal likes, but it's nice when a guy takes the initiative. It shows you're serious about dating and that makes your choice more appealing. If you're picky you're more likely to contact someone that you find attractive to begin with, rather than having to turn down lots of girls who don't fit the bill (of course you might like this because having lots of girls want you is a self-esteem boost).

Lastly, I'm getting off my soapbox now.

Yeah, I need that soap now. Been getting kinda dirty in the bathroom just a wee bit.

 

[rt1977]

Just wanted to stop by and say hello. 26M from ny

 

[UnseenChagrin]

Well it helps if you clean it more than once a year, fool.

rt- welcome

Just wonering if there are any other new yorkers here

This time it's for a nuclear washing thingy of the place - you know, get behind the toilet and wash the pipes under the sink and stuff like that. The soap you were standing on is the really powerful stuff. Thankfully it was in a box and you were not walking in it or else I'd be saying hello to your tarsals.

Agreed. I dislike friends with self-defeating attitudes, which is why I don't give off that vibe. But then again I've been told that I'm full of myself. That...threw me off to say the least. Never thought of myself that way before.

I tend to be self-defeating...less so now than four years ago. It's all an attention ploy, really. Or at least it was in the beginning. Now I'm just so used to putting myself down that I usually don't even think about it. It's difficult to be confident, but not too confident, and to be humble, but not humiliate yourself.

It's a fine line, walking between confidence and humility. Try to find a good balance. No need to be perfect though, that's what makes us individuals.

Just don't be like "I hate myself" and give lame reasons. I hate that the most, cuz then it's just a cry for attention and it's not a good way to get some.

There are plenty of....other ways
