Spiders, Snakes, and other Creepy Crawlies

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 9 Jul 12

Why are people so scared of these? the average human weighs approximately 180 pounds, and a spider weighs less than an ounces. That's hundreds of times as much! And the whole "They're gonna bite me! I'm going to die!!!!!!!!!" No....

Watch out...Slenderman will get you!

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 15 Feb 10

Marble hornets is one of my favorite youtube webseries at the moment, it's in the horror genre pretty much, perhaps also falling into sub-genres like mystery, suspense. It's really popular for the ARG crowd (Alternate Reality...

Airmaster...has anyone else watched this anime?

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 14 Feb 10

If you have, what do you think of it? It's one of my favorite completed animes, even though there isn't a storyline, and it's all about fighting. Is there anything you can compare this anime to, in your personal anime watching...

Laptop keeps shutting off on its own

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 26 Sep 09

Although especially when it's plugged in and the mouse is plugged in...or when I shut down digital line detect and command client in task manager. The charger doesn't seem to be the problem, since it'll turn off with or without...

What kind of cold/flu gives you a sore and congested throat but no runny nose?

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 13 Sep 09

Hey all, I've been wondering if I even have a virus for the last three days. The first day, my throat was very dry and sore, and I had thought that I had carelessly left my mouth hanging open in my sleep. No biggie right?...

Sometimes I'm not so anti-social. Inexplicable feelings bothering me. (Venting)

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 8 Jul 09

Lately I've been craving the company of people more. I used to be quite the hermit, enjoying the times when I could be completely alone, and in many ways I still want that -- at least in my own house -- but at the same time, I...

Accidentally heated cherry pits

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 10 Jun 09

It was at 350 F (they were stupidly stored in the oven), for maybe -- if that -- five minutes. Do you think it did 'em much harm? It wasn't even warm enough to heat off the moisture from them. Will they still grow?

What flowers're popping up in your backyard for spring?

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 26 Apr 09

For us, we've had daffodils, violets, mint flowers, and dozens and dozens of dandelions! It's been wonderful to hear the humming of all the honey bees visiting us. What about you? Do you also have your own flowers, instead of just...

Why don't more people want to go out in the rain?

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 10 Apr 09

I understand when it's early spring and it's still a little frosty. Same goes for mid to late fall. But while it's warm...I don't get it. The rain clears and cleans the air. It enhances the smells of flowers. And when it's...

Do you ever wish...

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 30 Mar 09

that you had the ability to phrase discussions more lightly? Does anyone else have a bad habit of wording things kinda heavy, instead of it being sortof purportionate, or light and fun?

Wow..."Death Takes a Holiday" (Spoilerish for those who haven't watched it yet)

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 12 Mar 09

The new episode wasn't at all like I thought it would be. And both boys got a revelation that neither of them (or us, probably) expected. Tessa, the Reaper that had spent time in the hospital trying to convince Dean to move on...

Do you like tea some seasons more than others?

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 4 Mar 09

I've found that I actually prefer tea in the summer, rather than winter..and while I think they may be somewhat odd, I think it's because of my love having small picnics or tea times as rewards to myself for a hard day's...

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 3 Mar 09

That is...given them a place to stay until they find their feet? Especially when you've had INTENSE past history with them. That's pretty much what I've done. My ex. The boy I had one of the most significant relationships of my...

OK: How many of you are looking forward to spring cleaning?

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 27 Feb 09

I don't know about you but I look forward to it every year. In the winter, my family and I tend to get feeling cooped up...cabin fever in deep winter, we're we're snowed in frequently...and things don't stay as neat as I'd like...

Am I just weird or do alot of other writers experience this?

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 20 Feb 09

I tend to get periods of time where I just can't...turn off my brain, can't shut off the flow of inspiration. I know a ton of us really hate writer's block when it happens, but what about the other end of the spectrum...when...
