Here is some essays I wrote. More will be added when I have the inspiration and time to do so.
Sending Me Your Comments
If you want to e-mail me a comment about one of my essays, please do so! I like finding out what others think. But please do the following:
- Have the essay title within your e-mail subject line.
- Tell me if you want me to add your comments to the essay. If you don't and I don't know you, I will not add your comment.
- If you do want me to add your comment, tell me if you want your name mentioned or if you want to be anonymous. Again, if you don't specify this, I will consider you anonymous.
Finally, note that I might add my own comments to yours. Here is the contents for easy reference.
The Essays
The above, short general essay is about how I do the painful process of writing spoilers. I don't write them often for that reason. I need enough motivation to get up the guts to do this. For example, Luther is my all time favorite and will be hard to beat. Below, and more important, is the spoilers themselves. Each has its own intro, ordered from the last to the first.
| Luther | The Russia House | Spider | Like Water For Chocolate |
This is something I wrote up after making what I consider my most successful tune so far in my little adventure into composing music. I did it for others who know enough music theory so that if they have some ideas on how to do my next tune, suggestions, or whatever they can. Here is all my midi's so far, from the last to the first.
| Morpha | Visit to China | The Adventure | The Challenge |

A result from my constant introspection and conservations with my e-pals, I felt the urge to type this up. It explores the growing intensity I have for a form of abstract intimacy I desire. Writing this was perhaps more for my benefit than for anyone else's benefit.
The Joys and Pains of E-palling
After e-palling people internationally over a 10-week period, I wrote this relating my experiences to what I think is good and bad about my favorite hobby. It includes suggestions to newbies and what makes a good pen pal.
This is my first attempt as an apologist in which I explain HBI's beliefs, why I associate myself with them, and what I find attractive about their form of feminism.
This short essay deals with personal observations I have made while studying how other people communicate. It is NOT how to better communicate but SIGNS on if you are communicating correctly or incorrectly.
I typed this up shortly after performing jury duty in Springfield. Besides giving a basic synopsis on the case, I also mention several pleasures and annoyances about our justice system and being a juror.
I typed the first version of this shortly after becoming a member of HBI. It is basically a cross of a diary of me looking for friendships with women and an explanation on what motivate me to ask for membership to HBI. It includes my own philosophy on love: "Being in love is not the same as loving someone."
This is my own self-written introduction to MBTI, one of my interests. After reading it, you might also want to look at this functional analysis page. For some humor, check out my own Jungian self analysis showing how embarrassing INTP humor can be!
