geek .... lol
@antitheist82 13 months ago
i'll be the first to say that i'd trade days in high school to be a geek instead of mister popular. but that was before being geeky was cool. that definition is indeed outdated. are you a reader?
@giraffegirl 13 months ago
@kirilov Yes, I am a reader :) - of books and dictionaries.. Thank you for your comment!
@giraffegirl 13 months ago
@Grant :) sometimes..
@antitheist82 13 months ago
well thats good news. i read the dictionary too when i dont have the attention span for the heavier stuff. i read a lot. kirilov is actually the name of one of my favorite fictitious characters. i never use my real name unless im introducing myself on here and i never introduce myself on here unless i find someone interesting. so you win. you are the first person ive decided to introduce myself to. im wade. it is a pleasure to meet you. and i would take geek over pedestrian or "cool" any day of the week.
@giraffegirl 13 months ago
haha!.. :) Nice to meet you Wade! I'll take it as a compliment :) ...could you please tell me where is this "fictitious character" from? what book? :)
@antitheist82 13 months ago
i neglected to mention that because i was hoping you would know. but it doestoyevski's the possessed. kirilov is an extremely philosophically minded character who shot himself to
@antitheist82 13 months ago
prove that he was god. or rather that he was his own god. a lot of his work has highly controversial themes like that. but he was the most interesting. not my favorite character. but he ran a close second. you'll see my favorite pop

up shortly. i get easily tired of my psuedonymns and change them often
@antitheist82 13 months ago
so what about you? if you would have me read one book what would it be
@giraffegirl 13 months ago
well, i guessed but did not tell you ;) So, you have read Dostoevski, nice to know that because i was going to sugest you his "Idiot" as the only book to suggest :) I've read that book in Russian two times and I want to re-read it again ;) @kirilov
@giraffegirl 13 months ago
gosh, this is not the most convinient place for a conversation :) lol
@antitheist82 13 months ago
no it certainly isnt. so you can read russian. im jealous. but i do love that you were going to recommend the idiot. only he wasnt an idiot at all. he was pure poetry surrounded by idiots which made him the idiot. he was an amazing character. so you did know who kirilov was. fantastic. we will indeed have to have more conversations. its so hard for me to find anyone that reads the things i do. i am actually a drop out with a formal ninth grade education and have not yet gone to college but thats a long story and indeed not a story to be told on here. but i do kik and fb if youre interested. but i would have to know you longer than a day to reveal all this as well. but i dont think that will be a problem. i'll be around if you will. are you stateside or elsewhere
@antitheist82 13 months ago
that was actually the first book of his i had ever read. then i went on down the line. im not done yet but all of his greater works ive read and reread except poor folk
