Hey Index, I've been visiting that past few days too.

So, what are your favorite fonts to use on an essay? Like, seriously. This shit is important.

listening to fucktons of music and becoming so much of a hipster that i transcended avant-garde music and started listening to primarily post-African repetitions
now i'm starting to listen to some more popular music instead of always being ridiculously obscure
but every now and then i still do confront myself and my self (as an ontological historical entity) with the mirror of atonality (as a mirror is not an empathic but a reflexive entity, alien to the space and time it reflects and only existing by itself in relation to the other) and realize the boundaries of human thought, comprehension and consciousness in order to reach rational ecstasy.

i've also been practicing my singing so i can make sound collage post-punk or art pop in the future, something like that. gonna learn piano and guitar eventually. also, i need to get back into becoming a film hipster too. right now my favorites are very avant stuff, but the total amount i've seen is very small, and i don't know much about film history.

hey mantha

If you can't tell by now I'm stationed in the desert with the Military.

Calibri is pretty fokken tight. Arial narrow is kinda nice too, but I like how chunky Calibri is.

Calibri is solid. Times new roman just gives me a headache. Arial is a bit too obnoxious for me.

I used to dig Cambria, but after months of use it also got on my nerves.

Follow up question: Google docs or Word?

Word.
I use it way too much when I do a writing project. Plus it's offline, I can use it without having to use the internet.
I don't know Google docs so yeah.

I use Word. It's always worked for me, and it's completely offline. I might be unfamiliar with Googe Docs doe.

I tried out Cambria, but it's too type-writerish for me. TNR is a pain in the fucking retina, with all those tiny sharp edges and fuckin' shit to cut yourself on.

Arial Narrow is kinda future-ey, but Calibri is perfect. It's simple, to the point and smooth.

You see, while Word may be a more powerful word processor, docs is available to you at any point where you have a computer with internet access.

This is helpful for me because I can seamlessly work on something at home and then log on to any computer at school a few hours later and continue. Ya dig?

Now I can see why this google docs thing is convenient. I'll try it out.

I always use Microsoft Word for most of my assignments, aside of PowerPoint or Prezi for presentation (barely use Flash).
Also with Times New Roman font, 12 for font size, 1.5 spacing and those custom, yet formal margins.

I do know Google Docs although not using it yet.

I use my Gmail account to copy+Paste my work shit so I can work on it either in the office or at home.

I denno, Gmail seems to be as basic as I need. All I need is a cool font, indents, spellcheck, grammar check and that's about it. Image capabilities would be nice.

I've always used word. I usually use Calibri but sometimes I switch to Comic Sans just to piss whoever reads my work off. Plus locking individual docs is pretty neato.
