• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Most Anticipated Upcoming Albums

    I'll be happy too, but they've been talking about a new album since 2008-ish, so I'm not getting too excited. Really, The End Records is a terrible label in general. Virgin Black's Requiem: Pianissimo has been finished for six years—composition, recording, mixing, EVERYTHING—and there's still...

    6/10 I don't know. I dig the prog aspect a lot more than the death elements. The vocals are really well done, though, and it didn't trigger the "TURN THIS OFF IMMEDIATELY" reaction that I get from most straight-up death metal. (Melodeath is another story.) The Magnetic Fields - "Andrew in Drag"

    9/10 fuck yes Infected Mushroom! They always impress. Epica - "Monopoly on Truth"

    Meaning behind your Username and/or Usertitle

    This is Datura. This is Dātura. I like them both a lot, particularly the latter. My infatuation with Tori Amos and everything even remotely associated with her qualifies me for EWF-dom.

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    "American Catholic Church" isn't what you think it is. The Roman Catholic Church is what most people are referring to when they call themselves "Catholic," and it transcends national boundaries.

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    Are you referring to the Roman Catholic Church, or the Church of Sweden? I've never had to pay any sort of "church tax," and I don't think my family has either. I guess I can only speak for ex-communication in the United States, although I wouldn't think the church's policies would vary from...

    Gender

    Your replies make sense, thank you! I'd like to formally blame the incoherene of my question on my lack of sleep lately. I was under the impression that using a collective term for identity words—transsexual, transgender, and any others with the trans- prefix—was akin to using one pronoun (like...

    Religion and Lack of Religion

    To add to the ex-communication point: I, like Phantom, was pretty much forced into the "sacrament" of Confirmation. I am a registered member of the Catholic Church. What does this mean? It means that they can use my membership, and the membership of every registered Catholic, for political...

    Scott Walker Recall

    Hi! As the location field on my profile indicates, I currently live, work, and attend a public university in the state of Wisconsin (even though I still identify as a Minnesotan, and maintain that Minnesota is the best state in the entire United States). Wisconsin's not well-known outside of...

    Gender

    I know I'm jumping in really late here, but I was reading through this thread and this post intrigued me: This is particularly striking because it's been established in this thread that gender identity is a very important part of the human condition for a lot of people; the idea of eliminating...

    I haven't actually listened to Helvetios, but it seems to be getting much more aclaim than The Arcane Dominion and ER(AINW)—both of which I found incredibly boring—so I'll probably end up giving it a listen. Highly doubt it could top Slania for me, though.

    Oh, it's that kind of forum. Also, congratulations, Phantom. You sooo did it!

    Honestly, I'm starting to think Slania's awesomeness was just luck. I haven't enjoyed anything else I've heard from Eluveitie.

    Catching up on the Real Housewives of Orange County, because that's what I do with my Saturdays.

    Most Anticipated Upcoming Albums

    Requiem for the Indifferent is an excellent album. It's a nice mix of elements from the previous four albums, especially The Phantom Agony. A bit of a shame Nuclear Blast accidentally put the instrumental version of Serenade of Self-Destruction on the physical copies, since the normal version is...

    30 Rock

    Does anybody else enjoy this show?! Actually, I know some of you do. I've never loved a TV show as much as I love 30 Rock. It is perfect in every way, from the cast to the setting to the inoffensive-yet-hilarious humor. Someone please talk with me about this show.

    Famous Ancestors/Relatives

    My ancestors from a few generations ago were higher-ups in the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazi Party) and I'm pretty sure some not-too-distant relatives are/were active Klan leaders. Fuck my family, seriously.
