i had read it after being deprived of a book for an entire week.

Ah. In which case I completely understand a disproportionate affection for it.

As for the d-word: Ah-ha! I had the same thing happen to me a few weeks back. The crucial phrase was the d's advocate, which I will avoid from now on. :P

[the_peridexis]

and who were you calling a de- i mean d's advocate? *runs through list of possible ppl* or maybe it was in a book? and i really am just curious; what made you name yourself birdhead? you seem like an intelligent person....:P but then again, you see lots of creative names online, so its quite normal compared to say, "Bogeyman". don't ask...

I was calling myself one, as in, "But to play d's advocate"; I wanted to identify myself as arguing from a position I wasn't personally convicted of. It was in the atheism topic in Chatter, if you're particularly interested.

As for my sn, it's an extremely venerable screenname from my earliest days online; my IRL given name is Tui, which is the name of a bird, and the head bit is a pun on my last name. A very bad pun, in fact. Anyway, I'm still reasonably fond of it, although most people call me Tui around here and you're welcome to do so as well!

[the_peridexis]

that's so strange! when i saw you sign off as tui, i immedietley(sp?) thought, "that sounds like a bird-sounding name." and i didn't know it WAS a bird name...:P. dai tui,

P.S. have any of you pplz noticed my lack of caps? i was just reading a recent topic and the starter mentioned being annoyed he couldn't use caps. i find that so odd...as you can see, i don't really care unless i'm mentioning a book or something...
