Biography
Think about your own life, and all the things you've had to do to because the exact person you are right now. I doubt you remember but a tiny fraction of it, but all those events made you who you are today.
Even though who you are today does not matter, nor did it matter yesterday, and no, it will never matter at all.
That's me.

Jib: I'm a chive. Get it? !!!!!!!!! :cry: Yeah, I don't like puns either. I'll go give myself my beatings now.
Jib: Hey you, how's it going?
Jib: rrrrrrrrraaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwr!
Oakheart: Oh, how I wish I could. If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs... 
Jib: You've got your cool shades on.
Jib: I liked it, and I know you don't want feedback, but I at least have to say that it isn't emotional drivel. Not positive or negative or assuming, just pointing something out.
Jib: Hey, I'm just about to read your entry, but I saw the title and was like OMFG and I realized I forgot to wish you a happy birthday. So happy birthday *hug*, and time to read now...
tannerk: to be honest you're more yellow pukeish color then blue
tannerk: cool story bro
Jib: "...if I spend too much time on keeping healthy I feel like I'm living just to be alive." That's exactly it. That's definitely something to look out for, too...it's all too easy to become a breathing corpse :p XD And hey, you're welcome, and I look forward to that =]
Jib: Ah, get those vitamins up! I have to work on that too...you know, I found that lecithin works very well, and zinc and selenium are great when they're combined; I don't want to get too much into that, though, for your sake...I tend to go way overboard with nutrition stuff, so I'll spare you that one XD I didn't know about an iron and vitamin C deficience having any properties like that, though I don't think that sounds strange at all -- and hey, I can relate to feeling weak, and I feel the same, to be honest. Sleep/sunlight/fresh air/nutrition/exercise are very important, and I usually only am doing well in one of those areas at a time, if that!
Jib: And how are you today?
Jib: Just kidding, I won't press you for it :p But I like the alter ego name Elan. It's pretty 
And I'm fanatical about names...Buttercream Freeman has been a sort of hang-up of mine, but I suppose I don't have to get into that XD I think my imagination tastes like something similar to a marshmallow and a graham cracker dipped in tar.

Jib: What is your real name?
Jib: o: o: o: There is Elan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jib: Elan!
Jib: And LMAO at birthday/october/christmas/santa/lol my head just exploded in ridiculousness and I'm really in the mood for milk/cookies now
Jib: Yet another thing I noticed in your profile....now it's all coming together. So you're really a princess from Egypt! Santa can bring you a pyramid....but it has to be a miniature one, because the reindeer are really tired this year, and they're also trying to start a union, and yeah...lol, I have to say, my heart skipped a beat when I read that I was a terrible Santa I was like NO!!!!!!! And then it was okay. But that amused me, so I decided to share it with you! I don't want to ruin your Christmas
I was like NO!!!!!!! And then it was okay. But that amused me, so I decided to share it with you! I don't want to ruin your Christmas Jib: Oh, oh...I just saw August 18th in your profile and thought that was it. I see now >=D So yes, now that I know you're a pre-birthday girl, I will make you a pre-birthday wish. I bet someone wants a pony
Jib: It goes well!! How goes it for you, post-birthday girl?
Jib: Hello to you =]
mzell: The rocks I throw always come with a post-stoning loving caress. Keep that in mind, missy.
Jib: P.S. "I'd never be able to write for a profession.. I'm like an artist who can't actually paint. A thinker who can't write." I'd never be able to do it either; I feel like I could only ever do a mechanical job for the same reason. I think it's because, at least for me, all that stuff is spur-of-the-moment; and I don't look at it as any art form but love -- in the end, that's the only art there is. I also felt like I got a glimpse of a part of you I never knew existed in that last message you left, and that made me feel good. It really is crazy, when you think about it, how quickly you can feel close to someone. It's disconcerting and reassuring at the same time; either way, thank you, and have a good night.
Jib: A BIG one!!!!!
Jib: *hug* Time for hug
Jib: Hello! I'm very happy you joined this site, I forgot to tell you (I think I forgot!). Well yes. HELLO ElanSurtax, you are now entering the Twilight Zone. What? You're already there? Don't get onto the alien spaceship; it's a trick. "To Serve Man" is a COOKBOOK
I'm very happy you joined this site, I forgot to tell you (I think I forgot!). Well yes. HELLO ElanSurtax, you are now entering the Twilight Zone. What? You're already there? Don't get onto the alien spaceship; it's a trick. "To Serve Man" is a COOKBOOKJib: !!!!!!!! Do you know the name? We can watch the video and everything it would be so cool!
Jib: And wtf, I was just trying to find...that "turn on me" song? You know the one where the guy has the falsetto voice going '...I'll be GONE...and into your dreeeaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS"? I can't remember the name of it!!!
Jib: <3
Jib: You rick rolled me. omfg
Jib: NAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jib: super smash bros. and star fox now
Jib: Hey you, want to go flying around Corneria for a while? Or do you have anywhere else in mind that might 'suit your fancy' better? Fancy? Slippy? That's some fancy shooting! >_< Really though, we can take a couple arwings out sometime, let me know when you're up for it and I'll fire up the G-diffusers.
Jib: Yeah, and that sucks :[ I want to play now :[ I want to play videogames with you :[ Well hey, maybe in the future the internet will be able to work better. They're always coming out with more RAM and bigger hard drives and all that, so why not, right? ....>_< Really though, that's such a good game...and maybe DK 64 would be fun too? What other games do you like? ?!?!?!?!?
Jib: I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE FOX
Jib: Come over my house right now or I can teleport to your house or any location where there is a Nintendo 64 and we can play Star Fox until our eyes fall out of their sockets and our brains are a puddle on the floor
kHAN: .. I didn't mean to press enter so I came back and continued writing my response, then somehow the page navigated backwards. Ahh, how laptops irritate me sometimes. Anyways as I was saying, I don't generally find spiritual significance in most things that happen to me; I'm not religious by any means. It seems that you could say what happened was a special occurence. I felt something unusual in the air, immedietly as I glanced at him I felt something out of the ordinary, call it spiritual, vibes, energy, whatever it may be.. something I was not used to. I feel that it was a reminder that the universe, my god, is in check with my reality.
kHAN: I truly appreciate the comment on my entry and if you can only count to -10 then I'm still happy with reading it 11 more times than that. I would let you in on my little secret information, but then again I wasn't happy that it was leaked to my mother and I planned on keeping it from everyone. Regardless, I'm glad you tried to conceive some of it. I wrote it while I was in a very strange state of mind; one might call it mania. I suppose a way you could look at the entry is that I have had a major issue with karma over the past while. I try to do good unto others constantly and the universe always seems to find a way to turn things against me.
Jib: And wow, hey, happy birthday. Very very late, but maybe that's good because you weren't expecting it then? ...so happy birthday!
Jib: and I guess I should be your welcome!
Jib: Something's wrong with the G-diffuser!
Jib: MY EMPEROR!!!! I'VE FAIIIIIIIIILEDD YOUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
Jib: Others also crowded around Shang, congratulated him, and begged him to teach them the secrets of "flying through air," "staying under water," and "walking through fire." Shang answered them, "I have no idea how I managed to do those incredible feats. There is really nothing magical about them. When I heard that one could make a fortune in the services of Master Tzu-hua, I came believing I would make a fortune. After I got here, there was no doubt in my mind that if I jumped down from the scaffold I would get rich, or that if I dived into the deep river, I would find jewels. It never occurred to me that those tasks were impossible. Now that you have told me you had originally set out to fool me, I shall be more reluctant to rush headlong into anything. I have discovered what it's like to be afraid, and I am beginning to doubt whether I am indeed able to walk through fire or fly through air. From now on, no matter how much you reward me, I shall not jump from a tower, dive into deep water, or walk through a burning building."
Jib: After this feat, Shang was not only respected but admired. The retainers who had bullied him now apologized to him, "We had no idea you knew magic and could do all these things that ordinary people could not do. We're sorry we were unkind to you and made fun of you when you first came. We tried to fool you into doing impossible tasks, and now we feel stupid for not recognizing that you are a man of power."
Jib: After this, Shang began to earn the respect of Tzu-hua's retainers. They stopped pushing him around. Even Tzu-hua got word of Shang's abilities and started to give him the stipend of gold and cloth that the other retainers received. One night, a fire broke out in a warehouse where the silks were kept. Tzu-hua arrived at the scene with his retainers. Seeing that he was about to lose a large fortune, the master said to his retainers, "I shall give a huge reward to the person who can get my silks out of that burning building." Shang immediately rushed through the flames and started carrying bundles of silk and brocade out of the burning building. Fire and smoke did not seem to affect him. He walked through flames and burning debris and rescued all of Tzu-hua's wares.
Jib: So they led Shang to a bend in the river where the waters were deep and swift and told him, "Somewhere in those deep waters is a pearl. Whoever's brave enough to dive down and find it will keep that jewel." Shang immediately jumped into the river and went underwater. Not long afterward, he came back with a large and shining pearl in his hand.
Jib: One time, the retainers were standing on a platform high above the ground and were boasting about their feats and challenging each other. Shang was also there. The men joked and said, "Whoever's brave enough to jump down from this scaffold will be awarded with one hundred pieces of gold." While they were goading and daring each other, Shang stepped forward and, without hesitation, jumped off the platform. He floated down and landed on his feet, unhurt. Tzu-hua's retainers were surprised, but they thought maybe this time Shang had been lucky.
Jib: The next day, after the retainers had left, Shang borrowed some money and provisions from his neighbors. Wearing a straw hat and carrying a basket on his back, he went to Tzu-hua's mansion. When he got there, he saw that all of Tzu-hua's retainers wore rich silks, rode fine horses, and had an air of arrogance. They looked at the old farmer with the dirty face and ragged clothes and began to tease him and push him around. They gave him the meanest tasks, they beat him up, and made fun of him all the time. However, no matter how they tried to bully him, Shang took the mockery and the beatings with a good nature. Soon, Tzu-hua's men got bored with their cruelty and left him alone.
Jib: One day, two of Tzu-hua's men were on an errand far from the city. When night fell, they found lodging at the house of an old farmer by the name of Shang. The two men talked all night about their master. They remarked that if anyone had the power to grant life or death, bestow fortune or misfortune, it was Tzu-hua. The old farmer overheard this and decided he would try to make his fortune by offering his services to this powerful man.
Jib: Tzu-hua kept a large number of retainers and encouraged them to compete with each other in contests of physical and mental prowess. When the competitions led to death or injuries, Tzu-hua was not at all concerned. He let the stronger men bully the weaker ones and the smarter ones ridicule the slow-witted ones. Challenges and mockery were the norm in the region where his influence was felt.
Jib: From "Feats of Power" in the book A Taoist Guide to Practical Living by Eva Wong: In the country of Chin there lived an influential man by the name of Tzu-hua. Though not a government official by rank, Tzu-hua had power equal to that of ministers. He was favored by the king and he rubbed shoulders with the nobles. Those who were in good rapport with him received benefits, and those who fell out of his favor could never hope to find fortune.
Jib: I'm about to spam your SBox with something I think is at least somewhat appropriate regarding the idea of levitation being possible or not:
dreadheadude: Congratulations on becoming an acolyte!
mzell: Logical dissenting opinions are always welcome.
ElanSurtax: Fry, thanks for the comment. It's always nice when someone takes time to point out something they like about you. Very thoughtful. [I would have just replied on your Sbox but I get an error. I have a feeling it has something to do with underscores.]
mzell: Sounds like a reasonable argument. That deserves a rank boost, I think. You can play in the real sbox now.
Sheepdog_McFry: Welcome to LoBD. I, like everyone else, liked the way you write and I thought I would share my appreciation, as it never hurts anyoen to do so.
iamthenewcancer: thanks!
dreadheadude: Drawing was fun, we should do that again sometime.
Oakheart: You first.
omnicron: My early morning ramblings seem to be annoying mzell. Any advice?
Jib: You're welcome; and thanks for posting it It was a very enjoyable read, and it helped me to remember how nice it is to relate to people in such a way. I feel warm now, thank you!
It was a very enjoyable read, and it helped me to remember how nice it is to relate to people in such a way. I feel warm now, thank you!omnicron: Well met. Drop me a PM some time.
omnicron: Was trying to spare you the same brand of internet curb-stomp. :-)
omnicron: It's ok, leel was superpissed with me for like a week when I joined. She schooled me on behavior and where and what not to write. I'm an original member, it has taken a lot of getting used to.
omnicron: It's best to reply in other people's Sboxes. Saves the trouble of trying to find the link back to your page.
omnicron: Nice Bio. Sometimes the greatest stories are told in brief. I could write pages, no, novels on my life story. I could use all the paper and terabytes in the world just describing how a lady walks across a room.
ElanSurtax: :] Appreciate it lots, you two.
Chuck_Norris: Hay, I love you 
omnicron: A late welcome but a welcome none the less. Welcome to my home and the home of many other enlightened people.
ElanSurtax: Thanks you very much.
dreadheadude: Peace, Love and Happiness! Welcome to The Land of Broken Dreams.
