Ahh, I see, I see. :3
Sounds interesting. >w<;
And at least you can use your English Lit program/major knowledge to help with your Trisphee writing job. ;] Must be nice to be able to use it in some ways on a somewhat regular basis. >w<

Well it varies actually. I do more creative writing here and some info stuff. Knowing about literature doesn't immediately make someone a good writer or a good judge of writing, since it's all subjective. It certainly doesn't hurt though. :)

Well it still gives you an edge having studied it English Lit, but like any other skill it all depends on how you use your knowledge. :3

The amusing thing seems to be that, at my school, the English lit majors and the creative writing majors are at covert war with each other. The deparments have piles of student magazines, none of which tend to do very well, apparently, because the two sides wont do anything jointly.

Bwahaha!! XD That's pretty hilarious!!

Is there anyway to just end this war? How did it even start?

No clue. It's been that way for a while from what I imagine.

The arts students and engineering students are at open war with each other. ;). Our oudated english buildings were being repaired so I had to walk across campus for one class, and would pass the engineering statue that would get vandalised pretty much every day, and engineering students would be there, painting over it again. It's something of a university ritual it seems, like how the engineering students all hand a volkswagon beetle from a local bridge as a grad prank. The got caught the year I graduated though. First time I think.

Well, if it's a tradition then it should probably stay that way. Though I must admit the art students versus engineering students war sounds a heck of a lot more interesting than the English lit students versus creative writing students war. >w< Mainly because of the fact that I can't really see what art and engineering have to do with each other...

But while we're on the topic, what do art and engineering have to do with each other anyways? owo

Not much, hence the war. ;). Call it science versus art. The number people versus the word people, so to speak. The symbol of the Engineering school is a knight, which does make me snicker somewhat. Not really science motivated, that. ;)

Not sure what the creative writing/english major thing is all about. General disagreements of sorts I suppose, probably to do with the nature of writing or philosophies around it.

<.<;;

I have no idea whats going on right now, but, I just finished Sailor Moon volume 2, and I'm craving volume 3. xD;

*Digs a hole to look for more rations and water, since doesn't have enough*

EDIT: Yay! Eggies cracking~

I see. owo
What's the art school's symbol? Something science-y for the irony? X'D

Yeah, I get the war between the English Lit folks and Creative Writing folks, but it's the Engineering versus Art one that doesn't make as much sense... >w>

Just wars that went on in Quiet's school back when she was in post-secondary schooling. :3

Hmm...sounds like fun, though I'm not a Sailor Moon fan at all... Sorry.

*So completely lost as to what's being talked about*

Call it philosophical differences. And I don't think the arts deparment really has one. The engineering department is older I think, and has red jackets with the knight on the back, along with a compass I believe (the geometrical one). There might well be something Masonic about it. *Shrug.*

Arts isn't always taken seriously as an educational persuit, so I think that's part of it. Think of any stereotypical story of the kid who's parents want him to be a lawyer or a scientist of a business man and then said kid runs off to be an artist or poet. It's not so much a war perhaps, as more good natured (I think) roasting back and forth. It's nothing damaging. he arts students do things like paint the "E" on the engineering sign to look like a tree or something and put decorations around it.

Arrik: I'm assuming that you can trade the treasure stuff for rations and water yeah? (Haven't tried yet).

*shrugs*

Either way, it's still all too amusing for me. >w<

Yeah. You can, but not much. XD
I want a couple more of the things, and I don't have enough to get yet. Phooey.

I'm sure you'll get them by event end, Arrikanez. :3

And daaang, your username's so confusing to type. I feel like I'm typing my own username... @w@

XD
I was surprised to see another 'Ari' here. XD

Yeah, same. I usually have a fairly unique username, but it would seem not this time. :'(

Arrikanez is the name of my RP family, so I was surprised someone else had something so similar. XD

Ahh, I see, I see. I've been using 'Arikana' on avatar forum community sites since I started playing on them. :3 So since 2005. It used to be longer as 'Arikana Nakaria', but then some time in 2007 I decided to chop off the second half cause it was starting to be a hassle to carry around...and no one used the second half anyways. X'D

Hi there, Rinni! :]

Hi! How goes?

Not bad, just trying to post more and earn some aurum. >w<
There's still so much stuff I'm looking to get. <3

Whatcha currently trying to get?

Actually I'm not sure yet. XD I'm actually just trying to save up some aurum first so that I'll have some to spend on stuff I want. >w<
Though I'm hoping to get some older DIs and/or last year's yearlies first. :3

I know what you mean ari there are so many things xD
i wish someone would sell a jackal ;-;

Man I really wish I'd had gotten one of the yearlies from last year before they left. I'm on staff, I knew when they were leaving and I -still- missed the deadline xDD;;
