Yes, please do! I want to hear more about your books! >w<
Though I'll probably check 'em out once they get out on the bookshelves. :3 You going to use your real name or a pen name?

B-b-b-but I like knowing! >w< And I can keep a secret! Seriously, I swear I can. *nodnod*

*knows lots of secrets that I haven't told anyone*

...........................................

O RLY NOW?!

*goes off to do some digging on Lucid* :ninja:

Minions!

why is there no bat to hang upside-down from a belt or something?

Why have you cluttered your avatar with animals, Quiet? owo

Because they are minions! And I'm trying to make them all fit. Some needs more layering options and we might need to design others to fill different spaces. ;)

Quiet...I think the pixeling team already has quite a lot on its plate.......as does Galla......

Lol, you're so silly Quiet. XD But I'm sure the pixeling and design team will eventually get to it. But there are probably more urgent stuff to work on first. XP

Just suggestions. :P.


And it's not like I'm going to make a habit of this. At least, I don't think so. Not until I can gather a few more like foot lizard from inventor's dream. ;)

That possibly won't happen anytime soon. :P

Nope, likely not.

This whole animal swarm business has been entirely amusing though. :)

Oh, I realize Quiet...just stating the obvious...I guess....*is tired*

I wonder when we'll get our next animal item... You have made me curious regarding this topic, Quiet! >w>


And if you're tired, Alpha, then sleep? owo

Wish I could, classes then work. I'm waking up....caffeine is helping some....as is sugar.

Got up at 4am after napping on the couch since 9pm. I'm trying to stay awake.

I don't think sugar really helps with staying awake, at least it's never done so for me ever. It's always been quick energy spikes with immediate sugar crashes to follow. But my body would always somehow manage to fight off the crashes. owo

I slept at 0330-0400 and woke up at 0730. Still have yet to sleep since. I'm so gonna sleep like a baby tonight. >w<

Sugar combined with protein will pick you up and then level you out, with caffeine adding some alertness to that. Sugar and caffeine alone will only give a short-term boost.

something low gi will give you slow burning energy for longer periods, like milo :o

i retract my statement, i thought it was something that was part of an event some user sent to me and a few others a poem, it still might be.. but.. i also notice some from february so it makes me think its just a poem..

Very handy information. I like. :D

Complex carbohydrates (long-chain starches like pasta and most rising breads) provide long-term energy support as well but they also take considerably longer to kick in than proteins.

Fats are somewhere between sugars and proteins. They're INCREDIBLY high in energy (over twice as much energy density -- that's why the body stores excess calories as fat) and it's not as quickly released as sugars. The body also prefers metabolizing fats over proteins, preferring to use proteins (in amino acid form) as cellular building blocks. It works best when balanced correctly with proteins, but fortunately most protein-rich snacks are also pretty high in fats.

Because my passion is writing code. ^^() I've actually considered teaching from time to time, but overall it doesn't sound like something I'd find to be a satisfying career choice.

I DO, on the other hand, tutor from time to time.

Woah, Coda knows so much. owo


@Nexy: Ah, I see, I see.
Well when they are out, could I get an autographed copy? >w>;;

B-b-but, that's just Lucid! What about your dirt on everyone else!? >w<

Coda actually had to look up some of that -- common wisdom says protein is longer-lasting energy than sugar, which is what I said, but when I looked it up I found that it's mostly the fats in the protein-rich snacks that does the trick; the protein mostly helps your body recover afterward.

*pokes Coda* Good information to know. Danke Coda!

I think you'd make a pretty good teacher, you teach us new things all the time, you also do it in a way people will understand.


Ari - >w> Yep.

Alpha - If they ever get out than yes.

I've had people tell me that, but as a writer you surely understand having a drive to create something with your own skill. The same is true for me with software.

I can understand that Coda....

*curls up in thread* So....any random/interesting facts anyone wants to share?

Evidenced by the fact that I was told to eat 8 servings of protein a day following my transplant surgery.

ill pay coda to tutor me >.>

Nexy: Anything you care to share really....

Ashy: Now why do you need Coda's tutoring?

Sweet. I get autographed Nexy books!!!! :D

Quiet has had surgery before? owo

Umm...well, doesn't surprise me since you are Gall's lab partner.

Nexy is queen of the magic ponies :o

What colour magical pony are you, Nexy? :0

owo

REALLY?!? The purple pony? Why purple? D:
Green is a totally much better colour... :P
