Boredom has been destroying joy since the beginning of time.
But is
also the mother of invention.
So I propose a role for clinical psychologists and the medical
profession.
prescribe activities to human beings to make them less bored.
Study the psyche and what makes a person tick, use
evidence
from
other people to provide precedent. (People who are miserable
and
like science fiction are likely to like X)
There we go, that's the idea.

Obvious intent: Correcting allegedly incorrect grammar. |

Subtle subtext: Mildly salacious innuendo about [blissmiss]. |

Pick the one you like best. |

Do we get to do the Voldemort Dark Mark thing, too ? |

Don't be so negative, 8th. I think it's cute that girls can sometimes get degrees now. And it shows all the nay-sayers that affirmative action _does_ work. |
|
| |
And then I read the annotations. (Was something deleted
here in between the 8ths?) |

Yes, [kdf] killed a few annos, but we have them logged if you want them back. Mainly about filling skulls with snakes. |
