• Well let’s get these answered.

  
  

  “Do you regret leaving the University of Wyoming?”

     You know, I kind of do. Don’t get me wrong, UNI is a great university, and I’ve found a good church and made several new friends. However, I had such a wonderful community in Wyoming and I miss it dearly. I was an important part of something out there, something I can’t quite find here. If I ever get a legitimate excuse to attend school out there again boy howdy will I. Let ‘er buck!“

  
  

  “Have you started reading the Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy yet?  Who is your favorite character in the Star Wars expanded universe?  Who, do you think, would win in a fight between Batman and Darth Vader?  Between Spider-man and Luke Skywalker (before the events in the New Jedi Order, please.  Got to make it a fair fight)?  If we had one of the comedians from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour show come up here, would you be interested in attending the show? When is your next break?”

      Dang. No I have not started reading TUHGttG yet. Huh. That acronym thingy looks like the sound I imagine a drowning train would make.

  
  

     My favorite character in the Star Wars EU would have to be the short but brilliantly lived Anakin Solo. When he was a little trouble-maker, he was ok. Man, when he grew into a young man and a Jedi Knight, he showed the Vong a thing or two about pain. I loved reading about his transformation from boy to man in the Edge of Victory duology. Then later to read about his complete surrender to the Force in Star by Star…. wow. Just frickin’ wow. That and I think I might have a shot with his older sister. No, I’m not THAT much of a nerd.

  
  

      In a fight between Batman and Darth Vader, I believe Batman would win. Firstly, and this has been true since the dawn of time, good prevails. Batman is inarguably the GREATEST superhero ever, with Spiderman and Wolverine pulling in even at 2nd place. Batman is so great because he is one of those rare superheroes that does not have some freakish super power. His intelligence, his integrity, and his determination are his strengths. He focuses all his energies on righting the wrongs no one else will stand against, even though his cause could claim his life at any time. He spent the best years of his life traveling the world, using his family’s considerable wealth to further his knowledge in the ways of science, philosophy, etc. while also training himself in 127 different forms of martial arts. Most superheroes focus on their “talent” and rarely deal anything beyond that. Except maybe the Daredevil, but that movie was so bad my respect for him was squelched, save for the fact he had a good “eye” in falling for Jennifer Garner.

  
  

        Anyways, I think Batman would beat Darth Vader because he’d do his homework. He’d find out quickly that Vader was a Jedi and would therefore prepare himself appropriately by studying lightsaber technique and therfore knowing what Vader was martially capable of. He’d also realize the value of cortosis against the blade of Vader’s lightsaber and would integrate that into his own personal armor. He’d also find out that Vader is encased in a life-support suit and would most likely provide himself with appropriate EMP and ionization technology in order to effectively immobilize the Dark Lord. Finally, he would find out about the fact Vader employs the Force and would attempt to fend this off with either a ysalamiri OR the wonderful Force-blocking abilities of Mandalorian Iron. As I have illustrated, Batman has several options available if he ever has to battle with Darth Vader. But, Batman will only defeat, not kill Darth Vader. Here is the biggest reason why I like Batman.

  
  

      Batman’s most common “aka” of sorts, other than Detective is The Dark Knight. Why? Because Batman believes in the law of justice, not vengeance. Many argue he has a right to vengeance after what happened to his parents, and even Batman would argue thus. However, he believes that simply going about killing those who “deserve it” would make him as bad as they. Batman believes in justice, not revenge. Even though he could most likely defeat Darth Vader, he will not kill him. Just FYI.

  
  

     WOW there was a nerdy trip! Rather refreshing. And I’ve probably condemned myself to a single life forever now. Eh, oh well. Girls are yucky, right? Next question!

  
  

     Spiderman and Luke Skywalker. That’d be easy. There would be no fight! They would get along too well. Now if it were a friendly spar of Spidey vs. Luke, with the webslinging antics of one and the Dulon Martial Arts and Force abilities of the other, I think it would most likely be a draw. Both are endowed with the gift of precognition, so they would both anticipate what the other was about to do. UNLESS Luke used his Force abilities to mess with Spidey’s mind. However, Luke isn’t a cheap puss like that, so he wouldn’t. It’d be a draw, or it’d come down to Luke’s disciplined martial prowess vs. Spidey’s “jump around and slap him when I can” tactics. (Sorry Nate.) Luke, I would think, has the best chance of winning. He’s more of a “warrior” than Spidey. Now, Spidey is a great superhero, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t realize this until he stopped the train in the second film; what I feel to be his first visible act of heroism in my sight. No hard feelings Web-ster. I’m all for ya, but I gotta hand it to Luke.

  
  

      I’d love to attend ONLY IF Ron White came. And my break starts March 14th.

  
  

   

  
  

  PHEW! Final question:

  
  

  Have you read my Xanga lately?

  
  

   

  
  

  Gil_Galad, I read your site every day. In fact, I read EVERYONE’S site every day. Before typing papers or anything I check my email and go through everyone’s xanga sites. I don’t always comment, but I ALWAYS read.

  
  

   

  
  

  Well that concludes round one. PLEASE ask more questions! This was fun! Refer to my previous entry for the rules of question asking. Ta-ta!
