4. tapi aku tak bisa lama sayangku, manusia harus bebas, hidup harus cair, dan dunia terus bergerak. dan aku terus berjalan, ada dunia yang harus kukelilingi. mungkin nanti di suatu persimpangan.

But I'm seriously considering getting scammed just to have a minuscule chance to know your identity. Thank you for such a sweet sweet poem. Another verse and I might have to start taking insulin shots.

3. tapi ruang, waktu dan materi-materi lainnya tak berarti apa-apa sayangku, kita bicara dalam bahasa dan frekuensi kita, telah kukhianati ruang dan waktu sejak mengenalmu lewat bit-bit elektronik di udara, telah kudefinisikan sendiri soal cinta lewat labirin pikiranmu yang menjebakku.

Why the capital C on "Cinta"?

what does it mean to have free will in a universe of fixed laws?

How do you know for sure that we have free will? It is very much possible that our lives have been predetermined and consistently governed by a long infinite string of numbers (for example, pi) that, when translated into texts, only gives us the illusion of free will, right?
.
You think you're asking me this question off your own free will, while in fact your brain has been hard-coded to ask me this. See? We can't really prove (or disprove, for that matter) the concept of free will.
.
But let's assume for argument's sake that free will does exist and every action that we take, we act on our own free will.
.
I'd like to think that free will exists so we have our hands on the rein of our lives. By having free will, we can at least have some say in this universe of fixed laws. For example, the law of gravity is absolute, but your decision to jump off the roof of your house is yours to take.
.
Without free will, we would have no motivation to better ourselves because our lives have already been dictated by an infinitely long string. I think the reason why we wish free will to exist is because living in a world without it is a very sad life to lead, indeed.

How was your day? :)

Thanks for asking me this! I somehow feel the irresistible urge to vent, and your question is the perfect channel for me to rant.
.
So I've been spending most of my last two work days (or three) swamped by work. I have been mostly glued to my desk while working (occasionally checking ask.fm because it's my secret getaway) on a new project. And I also spent most of my free time doing a part-time copy writing in my break time.
.
So yes, I am actually quite far from fine. In fact, I would pay you quite handsomely to dress up as my client and let me repetitively hit you with my car. (I hope none of my clients actually follows my askfm)

do you (still) in love with your ex? because that way you write the letter, you seems still somehing on her ...

Love is such a strong word that I never use it to describe how I feel about someone.
Am I still in "like" with her? No. But since she ended it a tad too quickly, I still, at times, wonder what it'd be like if she hadn't.
Oh and that letter was actually copy-pasted from my blog; I wrote it five months ago.

Pop music or anything dubbed as "mainstream music" gets automatically labelled as shitty or "not real music" by a lot of people. It personally pisses me off, but what's your say on this?

It pisses me off too! But I couldn't care less what they think about. I wouldn't stop listening to something I like just because people say it's trash.

if you can write something for her (your ex) what would you write?

Dear stranger,
.
Breaking up, in my experience, can either be a somewhat easy thing to do or an utterly devastating one. In my case with you, it was the latter.
.
"How are you? Are you dating someone right now? How did it feel to break a heart? Did mine leave your hands bloody?" are the four questions I'm dying to ask you right now if you have bothered replying to any of the several 'Hey's I had mustered all my courage to type and send your way. But you didn't, so I just tucked all those questions inside my pillow and carry on like nothing ever happened.
.
I hope you're well, I really do. Unfortunately, I have no idea how you're doing right now, and I bet you don't even care how, out of all people, I'm doing. 
.
To be honest, you were the only person whom I'd voluntarily let get that close to me. We ordered coffee and made fun of strangers sitting around us, we nonchalantly made political jokes, we sneaked kisses in bookstores and cinemas. At that time, I thought (and boy, I couldn't be more wrong) I had finally found someone to walk with, someone to ride the roller coaster of life with.
.
I could still clearly remember how you looked as I pulled a bouquet of red and white roses: how your eyebrows arched, then how your eyes lit up, and immediately your lips made a lopsided smile; then the smile slowly made its way to your eyes, wrinkling the sides of your eyes and pulling your cheeks up. And the next thing I knew, your lips were on mine and your arms slithered around my back. But I guess you totally forgot about that now.
.
I fully understand chatting like a friend--like nothing has ever happened between us--is impossible. But is it that hard to annually text each other "Happy Birthday"? The whole world could congratulate me on how I managed to survive one Earth's full revolution around the Sun, but if you didn't, I couldn't care less.
.
Isn't it ironic how two people who were desperately trying to be as close as possible have now become two people who are trying their hardest to be strangers? I find it painfully peculiar and I hope you do, too.
.
You know what? I have no idea where I'm going with this letter. The more I write, the more miserable I become (and the more you know how low I've fallen). So I will end this letter here before I humiliate myself even further.
.
With much love,
.
Just another stranger.

Regardless of your profession (a writer), do you think books should be free?

steffiteo’s Profile PhotoSteffi Teowira
Books are an intellectual property, crafted by the authors who carefully hand-picked which words to include for our enjoyment. If books were made free, the authors would have no incentive to write. Besides, paying for something makes us appreciate it more.
.
So no, even in a parallel world where I'm neither a writer nor a reader, I'd still think that books should never be free.

hi! i just done reading your novel (its the first time I bought a novel bcs I stalked someone's ask.fm) and .... do u like reading junji itou's mangas? :3 if yes, what's your most favorite one?

Thanks! And I'd like to preemptively apologize if it was not up to your taste ._.
.
My relationship with Junji Itou is very complex. I'm repulsed by his manga but I can't stop reading. Having only read two of his works, I think it's safe to say I derive pleasure (albeit tiny) from reading his works. My most favorite one is Uzumaki! God, the mosquito chapter. I could still vividly imagine the looks in the mothers' face. Ugh.

Ko Kent, kenapa ya pembunuhan, serial killers itu fascinating bagi kebanyakan orang? Not just as a genre, tapi juga in real life. Ngeliatnya repulsed tapi diikutin juga.

steffiteo’s Profile PhotoSteffi Teowira
Maybe because humans have this fundamental predisposition towards murder (see Cain and Abel), but that predisposition has been somewhat suppressed by what our parents taught us when we were a kid.
.
But still, deep down inside we'd like to know how the sound of a knife gutting innards is like,
or the recoil of a pistol as we pulled the trigger close to someone's brain.
Or simply how to kill that pesky person without getting caught.

Menurut kakak, bagaimana cara orang pertama kali mempelajari bahasa lain? Kita diajari Bahasa Inggris oleh guru, makanya kita bisa. Bagaimana orang Indonesia yang mempelajari bahasa Inggris tahu kalau "precious" artinya "berharga"? Adakah kemungkinan arti terjemahan yang kita tahu selama ini salah?

marshmeow_’s Profile PhotoJemima
Zivskalania, (ini gue sampe ngecek tiga kali, takut salah nulis nama)
.
Kayaknya cara mereka belajar bahasa persis seperti cara kita belajar bahasa waktu bayi. Mungkin si Bule nunjuk-nunjuk ke sebuah barang dan bilang bahasa Inggris, terus orang Indonya bilang bahasa Indonya. Repeat this in the span of several hundreds years, and you get yourself a full English-Indo dictionary. Untuk masalah kemungkinan arti terjemahan yang kita tahu selama ini salah, itu sangat kecil sih kemungkinannya.

As a sceptic, ko Kent gimana ngeliat moon landing conspiracy theory?

steffiteo’s Profile PhotoSteffi Teowira
Ugh I don't have enough evidence or background knowledge to accurately answer this question. It might be possible that they faked the moon landing in order to win against Russia (since I believe this happened around Cold War). But then again, we can speculate as much as we want, but we would never be closer to the truth. :< Sorry.

You look too smart that you've became a freak!

Become*.
.
The verb "become" is an irregular verb; it goes "become" for simple present, "became" for simple past, and "become" for past participle.
.
And yes, I'm fully aware I am a freak that I've decided to embrace my freakiness rather than trying to hide it.

kent, just a suggestion, maybe you should try to differ between alogical and illogical.. you're right, we can't scientifically prove religion. Thus it is alogical. Illogical is when a valid argument goes against the logical rules (e.g:modus ponens). oh, and good job on answering without insulting :)

Imanuel_Ezra’s Profile PhotoImanuel Ezra
Hi Imanuel!
That's a new word for me. However, if we're talking about the root of words, the Greek prefix a- actually means not/without (asexual means /without/ sexuality, and achronological means /not/ time-sequential). So, following that argument, alogical should mean "not logical."
.
But then again, Merriam-Webster seems to disagree with me while Google Dictionary seems to disagree with you. I guess there is more than one way to define "alogical." Thanks for teaching me a new word!

ko itu novelnya ceritanya ttg apa ko?

Genrenya romantic/comedy. Kalo diliat baik-baik kan itu novelnya terbagi jadi dua ya. Kalo dibaca dari depan itu bacanya dari sudut pandang cewek (yang nulis Debbie Widjaja) dan ceritanya lebih berputar di romance. Kalo dibaca dari belakang, itu dari sudut pandang cowok dan ceritanya lebih komedi.
.
Kalo untuk masalah ceritanya tentang apa, ceritanya dangkal sih. Bener-bener easy reading yang nggak perlu mikir. So, unless you're really looking for something fun and easy to read, please don't buy that novel. Wait until I finish writing this murder/psychology novel and buy that one instead.

Tapi, katanya otak kita tidak bisa memahami hal-hal yang seharusnya bisa kita pahami. Aku cenderung percaya sama penjelasan ilmiah dan logis, tapi di sisi lain kadang aku jadi ngerasa kalau otak manusia itu gak ada apa-apanya. Aku jadi bingung sama kepercayaanku(agama) sendiri…

Contoh dari "Otak kita tidak bisa memahami hal-hal yang seharusnya bisa kita pahami," itu apa? Mungkin kata yang tepat bukan "tidak" ya, tapi "belum." Dulu orang-orang menyembah-nyembah petir karena mereka menganggap itu adalah sebuah pertanda dari dewa. Toh nyatanya sekarang kita bisa memahami apa petir itu dan kenapa petir bisa menyambar.

Mungkin beberapa puluh tahun mendatang, konsep-konsep yang sekarang nggak bisa dijelaskan akan menjadi sangat jelas dan intuitif.

Kalo orang lain bisa baca pikiran, gue yakin muka gue udah jontor nggak berbentuk sih sekarang. Omongan gue super halus tapi pikiran gue kasarnya kayak amplas. Jadi itu salah satu keuntungan kita nggak bisa baca pikiran.

Kalo untuk kerugian kita nggak bisa baca pikiran, pasti ada lah meskipun kecil-kecil. Misalnya waktu kita lagi PDKT sama gebetan, kita pasti dying to know how they feel about us, right?

Are you a ghostwriter then?

The original question asked me, "Have you ever published a book before?" to which I answered, "I got my book published, yes. But I've never published my own book before."
.
In English, there is a difference between "I just cut my hair," and "I just had my hair cut." While both senteces imply that my hair is now shorter, the first sentence means *I* personally cut my own hair, while the second implies *someone* (probably a hairdresser) cut my hair. Notice the difference?
.
Answering your question, no I'm not a ghostwriter. I wrote a novel that got published by Gramedia. I just felt the need to clarify that I have never personally published a book.
