Two short topics for today...

I finished the last book in the Jedi Apprentice Series. Special Edition #2: The followers was a pretty cool book, and like the other special edition in this series (of 20 books) this book followed an adventure of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, and then 10 years later with Obi-Wan and Anakin running into the same characters. This book was all about the Sith, and the search of a crazy professor and his devoted following of students and their search for a Sith Holocron (basically the star wars equivalent of a giant MB memory stick with Sith knowlege and power). This book was very good, and showed more of the early corruption of Anakin by the Dark Side, and more warning signs that the Jedi keep picking up on that he could turn evil. They are so blinded by the dark side and their own "high&mightiness" that its no wonder they get slaughtered. Their is even a disturbing chapter where Anakin finds a hologram recording of a jedi being shot from behind and killed by a blaster. Some big foreshadowing, and I really love how these books keep thowing in backstory to the movie plots. Now its on to the Jedi Quest and Boba Fett young adult books, and all the novels upto and including Revenge of the Sith which I just bought. Anyone that actually clicks on these journal posts to read about my adventures in reading star wars books, let me know. I am going to keep putting them here, but I get the distinct feeling that no one cares, which is understandable.

as for the other topic...Abbreviations. Did anyone click on my journal header to see just what the heck that abbreviation was? I have done this a couple times, including just a minute ago on a system wars thread title. The fact that the system wars thread was utter garbage, and most of the stupid abbreviations and purposely misspelled words were actually sucking the intelligence from my body, is beside the point. The point of my topic is more that threads and online games and journal, etc. can get pretty confusing if someone isn't "down with the lingo." Anyone that can offer a few confusing abbreviations and/or mispelled words and their meanings, I would appreciate it. Especially if you could throw in the reasoning for the mispelling or abbreviation that makes it so funny/useful/worthwhile/etc.

And thanks for stopping by on the EB thread. I saw a few new names there, as well as a few of my new friends...
