Ask Heero (A Real Advice Column)

[illiterate]

I'm afraid to even touch the Wheel of Time series. It's like what? ten books long and still not done. It's a scary thought, letting something take up that much of my time; I only allow fan fiction to do that.

Never heard of Foundation, perhaps I'll look into that one.

Now I'm off to my discussion class, hopefully I'll learn something this time.

Sorry for taking such a long time to reply.

"nandemonai" directly meands harmless, but "don't worry" can fit aswell. And "uta" does in fact mean "song". And "story" is kind of a scketchy word to translate. Monogatari is just a regular tale story or legend. But what kind of story are we talking about? A sad story, love story, war story, boastful story.... etc. For example, Shuushinjinootogibanashi means Bedtime story. For a word used on children's bedtime story, you think they would make it easier to say.

I wasn't thinking of any story, so monogatari would do for me. Thank you!

BTW, me and my uncle were watching World Idol, and it was only the intermission fo Elton John, so he changed the channels for a while and he watched National Geographic, so I just went reading Eternity in His Hand (by Goldberry) and they were talking bout really boring space things, so I just read, but then my ears perked up when some scientist guy said;" How do you feel about the possible colonizations in outer space?" (or something like that, but I DEFINITELY heard "colonization")

THE GUNDAM AGE COULD BE NEAR!!!

In about 50 years, maybe, in about 10-20 years there will be a man/woman on Mars.

But hey, illiterate, I'd suggest Pern or The Stainless Steel Rat, you've probably read Narnia, those are the only series that I found intersesting enough to read all the way through.

The Adventures of the Stainless Steal Rat! Awsome Book! Harry, Heinlein and Herbert are my science fiction gods! I was actually thinking of starting Methusilas Children (so spelled that wrong) but can't find any of it the used book stores up here, full price stores are way out of the question right now, I might even have to beg my brother to buy this months issue of Newtype for me! Gah I need a job!

Heero, if you were to be locked in a janitors closet [that has all the normal janitorial things], how would you bust your way out. (without creating too much of a ruckus)

PS. Katy-did Bug, i must say i enjoy the picture in your sig.

PSS. What does swiz mean?

[Heero]

That's a really easy question. Look for the tool belt/kit (yes there will be one) And unscrew the hinges, then screw them back in
or unscrew the handle.... but that's more complicated.

And as far as I know, it's another term for the British. At least I think that's what it means.

And congadulation Miroku! It looks like you just hit 1,000 posts!

Heero, in a what-if scenario, who would be the godfather of ur child?

[Heero]

There are so many things wrong with this question. But it is a "what if", so I suppose it's ok. Well... seeing as though most of the people I now have increadably massive problems in their life, or females, in which case the could not be a godfather, or dead, this is an especially tough question. Although Duo, as priest like as he may seem, is definatly out of the question. Wufei would be all sorts of wrong. Possably Trowa or Quatre. But I think the best decision would be Rasid. That guy is so cool.
