If that is your goal, you will never be alone.

WHY GAMEFREAK, WHY?

I have appreciation for all who keep this place awesome; regardless of position, status, duties, etc.

Cheers, for your contributions to our community here. :)

Thanks bunches for the music assistance! Finally got it to work-now I can jam to some classic Rush!

Ignore the previous post, I just saw your comment on the gallery.

(Below this post is me being a slowpoke)

A simple wall post telling me you saw it would have been nice, I mean you are never on the group.
A Mod’s work is never done, I’m guessing…

Well, I found that there’s already a Giygas roaming KYM. Probably several, actually.

Oh well. I’ve had my fun. Back to being Owens.

It’s not right, not right…

Surely someone’s pointed this out before, but…

It hurts…

My apologies, dude. Wont be happenin’ again.

I’ll apologize as well. Thing is, like I said in my post, I don’t like posting in threads the creation of which display intention by the original poster of trolling or spamming the forums. But when I saw that a reply had already been posted, it seemed almost customary just to provide my own thoughts. I hope you don’t think of me as ignorant for thinking this way, but it felt as though a contour had been put in place, and that it made it matter just a little bit less. From experience both in the real world and in multiple online communities, I know that when somebody breaks the mold, the tension is no longer there, so I felt maybe on this occasion it might be a marginally better idea to reply. Just a mistake. Oh well, this will be a lesson for the next time.

Once again, my apologies, and hopefully everything will go smoothly between the two of us moving forward.

Sorry. I usually never do. That one just really pissed me off for some reason and I totally blanked that rule out of my head. All apologies.

Why does no one tell me about this crap until after it’s been done? I’m not psychic ya know :L

Guess whose /r/ was complete on /mlp/?

^{It would make a nice avatar, just sayin’}

Truf. There is simply not enough cheeto pony art, either. If you Google it, it’s my current avatar, then pages and pages of pictures from threads I’ve been in and from my profile. Ah Well~
This is only for october though. Watch as all “cheeto pony” results suddenly disappear November first.

Hey, you’re the teal deer again!

Even though relationships and friendships develop differently, I’ve noticed within my own friend group that complementary personalities more often clash than harmonize, if that makes any sense. My friend I mentioned earlier has his emotionalism actually conflict quite a bit with his girlfriend’s more detached, even angry, disposition. This difference is the source of much contention, but on the whole, their relationship is great, and even strengthened by “opposites attracting.” Maybe I’m just repeating myself here, but I guess the larger question is this: in a comparison between complementary couples and similar couples, who has the greater chance of “making it?” And, further, how do each of those respectively match up with longevity in complementary friendships and personally similar friendships?

Again, sorry for this response taking so long. And, by the way, I forgot what I was going to add on earlier. So…my bad.

Ack! I haven’t responded to your posts in days! That’s like years in internet time!

Sorry for my seriously delayed response; I’ve had some crap going on. For example, I have a kinda/sorta date soon (not that I’m BRAGGING or anything….[yeah, I’m bragging. I’m excited, bro]).

But yes! I’ve been intentional about having a social life, which, though certainly a good thing to breed, limits both time spent and interest maintained by internetting heavily, though I certainly did not mean for our correspondence to suffer so, and I apologize for it.

Anyway, people and relationships fascinate me, if you couldn’t tell. Economics is one subject I actually enjoy studying quite a lot because it is, in a broad sense, a study of behavior and choice. Sociology is not something I’ve ever gotten a detailed description of, though I assume from the title the meaning’s pretty straightforward.

AND YOU’RE STILL NOT A MOOSE-ANTELOPE-IBEX THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!one!!!!!!!!

Pretty good, I kind of like 8 bit and 16 bit music myself. Most of the music I listen to ranges from rock to a bit of dubstep, not too much though. Here’s my first song, Lost in the echo:

This one is Linkin Park’s newest song if I’m not wrong, appeared over the summer.

Also sorry for the late response.

“Socioromanticism”….yeah, you SHOULD do something with that. Very interesting idea.

Sorry for such a scant response, but I’ve got a busy day ahead of me and didn’t want to keep you hanging any longer with a response. I’m going to add to this later, but for now I’ll leave it at this: you’re right about friendships and romantic relationships being very dissimilar (well, in some ways), but do you think that the same general principles and personality types are going to be factors in determining one’s friendships/romances? I guess this is similar to the question you already asked, but to give an example, my best friend is very emotional and prone to bouts of melancholy, but still has me, a relatively emotionally stoic, blunter person, as his best friend. His girlfriend? Similar to me in that regard. She isn’t as emotionally needy either, and has a tendency not to mince words. So, Dr. V, what is your diagnosis of the situation? Mere coincidence? Or is there all sorts of psychological/societal factors at work here?

Hiya Verbose, I took one of those “the internet is getting stale” breaks you hear so much about.
Well, that’s done with now, and it’s great to see everyone again!
Also I still suck at checking my wall, sorry

I’d heard the same thing in a Cracked article about complementary relationships. Given that it’s Cracked, maybe take it with a grain of salt, but still. Beyond romantic relationships, though, what do you think of friendships with a similar dynamic?
