Mailliw73 he/him Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Having read up to the 61% (give or take; on my computer it says 61% but on my phone it says 64%) mark in Well of Ascension…. Vin = Awesome Sazed = *sobbing* Penrod, Straff, and Cett = CRUSH YOUR FACE! CRUSHCRUSHCRUSH Edit: Huh. Apparently, there's only a few more chapters to go before I'm on Hero of Ages. Reading the Kindle edition with all three books together really threw me off. Can I ask which part you're at, as a better gauge? I'm ~35% of the way through right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlion Blight he/him Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 CAUTION: Tantrums follow. Just had a lecture from my parents about 'diligence' and 'determination' in things that they find to be important. I.e. school. Which I find ironic, because I do well in school. Well, relatively well. The thing that annoys me about these speeches is the pointlessness of it. I mean, I've heard it all before. Except, if I didn't turn into a mind-bending, work-fuelled robot last time you made the speech, what makes you think it will happen this time. I mean, I try to sympathise with them. I really do. But, why bother trying out 'The Speech' when we both know, from hours of grueling experience, doesn't work? If you want to actually do something instead of making my life hell, could you at least try something new once in a while? Or is that too much to ask? And even that is only applicable if I don't already do well in school. Which is false. I do moderately well in school, with above average marks. It's just those few comments in the 'Comments' box written by the teacher that make my life well. (Paraphrased) "Conor could improve his marks in future if he were able to be more consistent with his schoolwork." "Conor could achieve a lot in this subject if he could pay more attention in class." or, my personal favourite: "Conor has consistently shown his ability in this subject, but it is clear his interest is in other areas." I know some here won't agree. I don't even mind. The only thing that I actually have a problem against in what my parents are doing is making a futile gesture for no reason whatsoever, just to make my life that bit more difficult. Ugh, I hated teacher's comments on my report card when I was in high school. Here's an example: I got an A in a class and a comment which read essentially "isn't using full potential." Incidentally, I got lectured for that comment as if I got a bad grade in that class. It was confusing, annoying and tedious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathoth Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 School is dumb, just a bunch of useless memorization, most of which will never help you anyway. School, basically. Cos teachers dont like when you try to be creative and do things your own way, oh no, you are not like the other kids, you do not fit in, yaddayaddayadda.... and then of course when the teachers gang up on the weird kid the other kids start doing it too... grumblegrumble... Oh, what? No Im not butter... typo, I mean bitter, but butter was funny so I kept it. I managed to sleep two hours so Im rambling again, nevermind, carry on. Yes I know I set you up for a perfect "I cant believe Morzathoth is not butter" joke, but I wont let you have it. I am not butter, or a pancake mix.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Can I ask which part you're at, as a better gauge? I'm ~35% of the way through right now. Vin took control of the koloss and spent the better part of the battle being awesome, Elend and Spook are within sight of Luthadel, and Sazed just went over the part of the prophecy saying the Hero would be tall. Ironically enough, I wrote my whine about Cett and Straff just before Vin finally (finally!) killed Straff and threatened Cett into submission. IT IS ABOUT STORMING TIME. Edit: And now she unleashed Ruin. Oopsie doopsies. Edited November 9, 2015 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheSeamonster he/him Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Yeah, like I said, muffins everywhere. Muffins up to the ceiling, anyone wants introvert muffins? I may have gotten an internet acquaintance to pick up Name of the Wind and Mistborn. What specific kind of muffins are they? We talkin' chocolate chip or......? And do they have spikes in them? So, essentially, the plot of the Mistborn trilogy is: Does anyone else feel compelled to write a short story about this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delightful Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 Sure.Answer however much you're comfortable sharing:I'm just super curious what the origin of Anaximander is. The ending sounds like Alexander so I'm thinking Greek, but I've never heard of it before. Are you named after someone in particular? Do people call you by the whole thing, or do you get nicknamed a lot? What do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you well know, the research and development on these high-quality products takes time, and the more that our unsuspecting esteemed patrons think that they know, the more unrealistic their demands become, and the more pressure the DA receives to roll an as-yet unfinished product out to the public (See the "Easy-Spike Hair Gel" PR debacle as one well-documented example). As I'm sure you know, this pressure is what makes the entire process, from the managerial department to the administrative department, slower and more inefficient.
