    He has solid comic delivery. The material he works with isn't always great, but I feel like(for example) Anchorman had really solid comedy writing.

    I agree.

    I believe that in the end of the day, Will Ferrell is not a do-all comedian.

    There are very few comedians that excel in acting, writing, and stand-up.

    Will Farrell is lacking in the writing area, or at least the movies he is in are normally very stupid and goofy.
    Not saying a stupid and goofy movie is bad, certainly not.
    Its the fact he is in most of the stupid, goofy movies that come out, and many a time, he plays the same sort of character, which is tiring.

    EDIT: Stranger than Fiction shows the best of him, I believe.

    That's cool. Because you've been so wrapped up in your fiancee's birthday, you missed an ACTUAL day of celebration.

    My REDDIT birthday.

    Because humor is completely subjective and therefore often difficult to relate between people with different tastes and life experiences. I mean, people sometimes think I'm funny, for goodness sakes!

    Then, they get to know me.

    That's strange ... I never thought you were funny. And I don't even know you ...

    Earth is more interesting then any fictional planet Iv seen on TV or movies.

    That's okay. Girls just watch it to be entertained, they don't care about a good story. A great man once said:

    "Still a better love story than Twilight" is a meme. Know your memes.

    Also, stop being a hard-ass and take things out of context.

    And you know what, I don't believe we're insignificant. Who gives a SHIT where we are in the universe. Who gives a shit what the universe thinks of us. We have a purpose here and now to live on our amazing planet and to take care of it. To make it a better place and to see the wondrous things it has to show us. Think of the children who have no food, or the diseased hoping for a cure. Are we to call them insignificant? Think of the massive cultures who have exists for thousands of years, growing in knowledge and tradition. Are we to call them insignificant? Think of the thousands upon millions of animals and wildlife this planet has produced, all unique and all incredible. Are we to call them insignificant? Bullshit. If the universe won't acknowledge us, then we can acknowledge ourselves and arrogantly cry out and tell the universe to SCREW OFF!

    Besides being a place where planets and stars and trillions of masses reside, what the HELL has the universe produced? Big useless balls? Well, they look pretty. Maybe they'll destroy us all one day. The universe is just a big black void around us. It has nothing to contribute. It's just there. So I don't give a shit what it thinks of us.

    The Universe has the Earth. So there goes your logic.

    In my opinion, nothing is significant or insignificant. It's what you yourself make of it.

    No, the universe doesn't have ANYTHING. It didn't produce the Earth. Complex events within the Universe produced it. The Universe is just a formless void. It can't do anything. It doesn't contribute anything. IT is what doesn't matter.

    You're missing my entire point. I'm arguing that the Universe is worthless because it's not responsible for anything within itself. It's just a place. A boring, worthless void. It's not responsible for the Earth, or for anything else that resides within. You're honestly making an argument that isn't there, and it seems rather desperate an attempt to prove me wrong.

    I'm talking to a girl and I'm FLAILING! FLAILING! Must avoid...nervous urge to...show her...Skeet Fighter.

    You know I really like a girl at uni.

    I get on well with her too. I talk to her all the time I see her.
    (And she must like me to some degree since she always walks over to talk to me when I'm sitting down somewhere and she comes in. And we're always having a good laugh exchanging culture and language. I guess just don't want to make an idiot of myself and make things awkward. But the way she looks at me, like I take up 100% of her attention, just makes me wonder if for once, a girl actually likes me...)

    Oh and she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.
    Beatiful blue eyes, golden blond hair, and the warmest smile I've ever seen.
    A fun and inquisitive personality, though we don't share any common interest really.

    Shame since she's Swedish, so once this semester is over, she'll be going back home.

    Bah! Logic! Why must you always hold me back.
    *sigh* Oh well, there's plenty more fish in the sea.

    The Girls I'm interested in is 25. (I'm 20!)

    I thought she was younger, younger than her 18 year old friend who's also Swedish, but that does not deter me one bit.
    5 Years is nothing!
    (Well 5 upwards currently isn't, 5 downwards however would be very.... awkward)

    But as I've always said, I'm pretty mature for my age.

    Also interesting, was that she used to make sort of out-loud asides when we were talking a while back.
    Some of them were like, "its a shame you don't like X", or "I'm not interested in Y".

    Its was as if she was evaluating me or something...

    ....

    Girls are weird!

    Why would you want to be with a cougar? Isn't that illegal, anyway?

    Since we appear to be talking about girls anyway... How can I be sure that the girl I have a crush on actually exists? From the time I met her to now I've managed to go from saying one or two sentences to her at any given time to wasting an entire day talking to her while still managing to get work done. So, wasting time in that not wasting time sort of way. She's freaking awesome, I say.

    Also, if not for her, I would never know that this thing existed:

    Kuromi.gif

    It's Kuromi, an evil-ish thing from Hello Kitty. Yeah, I kinda like Hello Kitty... It's because I watched it as a kid. No one told me it was for girls, and obviously I don't care now. It's because it's cute. I like cute. Don't judge me.
