Most of those things have that effect on me. I think I miss the caffeine rush but get the crash.

Math like that stopped giving me boners years ago. I need the hard sh*t to get me hard now.

True, try something once and it's never the same...onto more extreme always.

That's a cool cake. Too bad Ayn Rand is a bitch.

Read something awesome like Kurt Vonnegut. Best. Author. Ever.
I once read Anthem, but it was pretty annoying with her pretentious prose-like writing. And Equality 7-2521 was such a bitch (the character of course.)

oh cmon you don't need to hide behind the character... And Anthem is the one I have. Had to read it for a HS class but of course I didn't! Didn't really read 1984 either....which is one I really should

I have a feeling that when most people say "I don't like Rand's prose" they really mean "I don't like Rand's ideas". I've read authors with much worse prose who get lots more respect.
But yeah JJ read 1984 right now.

Rand's ideas are pretty okay in some areas, but sometimes she's bat sh*t insane. I mean, selfishness is good and altruism is evil? What the hell?

I certainly have the time now Pat. It really is a shame, I never read it simply because it was for school and I thought f**k that! By the Jr and Sr year I stopped trying....

whoa...isn't that what the Libertarian thread started about??? Before we turned into political bantering of course. I believe she also said no one deserves love?
