If I understood it, I would agree. Maybe I'll agree anyway, that it is awesome. Does this mean that the Computer Whose Name Must Never Be Mentioned is now allowing you some awesomness?

Er - what this is, basically, is that people go over to that post and suggest a theme for a playlist of songs. The playlist would be a soundtrack for a story or show. People can suggest original ideas, or ideas based on a favorite show, book, movie, etc. One of the requests that I spotted and liked was for a playlist of songs for the romance in Pride and Prejudice, for example; if someone decides to fill that request, they'll pick a list of songs that remind them of the characters, the mood of the story, and its progression

Have you ever thought of writing explanatory books? Now that sounds awfully dull, but it might help with those arguments YoDa and I have, where he explains something to me and I end up saying that I'm sorry that I don't understand what you're telling me and we both end up frustrated.
This is part of why I think I'd like to become a translator - even within a language, the meanings of words and phrases differ both wildly and subtly from person to person. I've found that a lot of disagreements can be calmed or settled by rephrasing and reconfirming what the people actually mean by what they say; you'd be surprised at how often I see two people who are actually on the same page about an issue thinking they're on opposite sides, because they're not interpreting the words the other person is using in the same way that the speaker meant them
