| My orthodontist really messed things up and I ended getting my braces off after 10 months (it was supposed to be 2 years). I was given a retainer for full use, and when I first wore it, I couldn't talk, eat or anything and I usually gagged on the bottom one. I definately got used to it over time, th... |

| The different class skills between race and class work as if you had levels in a class. Take a bugbear for instance. It starts with 3 levels of humanoid. You would treat this as if it had already gone through 3 levels of a class for calculating stats based on information provided in the book such a... |

| I haven't messed with Savage Species, because I think it's a little silly to let players be monsters, but I would assume that picking something from there is basically a race + class put together, and doesn't require choosing a class from the PHB. I thought that too at first, but it says at the bot... |

| I'm creating a new character at the moment (most likely a fey type) but I'm not sure of a few things. Before I start, I have the monster manual and player's handbook and a PDF of Savage species and am playing 3.5 edition. In the usual races (in the player's handbook), the class skills are not mentio... |

Yeah... I have an English essay that I haven't even started that's due in tomorrow at 9:03am. It's 9:46pm right now.
I was really productive and did 2 Biology pas papers and an R.E paper this morning, but it all left me after lunch. |

I thought that generally the documentary was really interesting, but I also thought that a lot of it did contradict itself.
I am not diagnosed but do think strongly that I have Asperger's and need to talk to my parents, do take anything I say lightly because I'm not sure where I fit on the spectrum. |

My own diagnostic process went like this: - Asperger's Syndrome, huh, what's that? - Oh wow that totally describes me - Actually it explains everything about my life - Can this be for real? - I'd need a professional to tell me I'm not just imagining it - *find autism ... |

| I live in the UK so prom isn't such a big thing as it is in the US. But I wish people would stop asking me about prom because most of my friends are going, just not as couples or anything. I don't really want to go but it will be my last chance to see so many of my friends. I need time to think. |

I reject your reality and substitute my own - Adam Savage, Mythbusters.
Don't only practice your art, but force your way into it's secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine - Beethoven
I live my life following many quotes, but these were the first two that popped into my head. |

It's just that I woul... |
