I don't see how this is a reason for someone to dislike him. I prefer light skin females to dark skin females, it's just more of a preference (and opinion) than an insult. :-? [Emphasis on opinion]

It's fine, don't worry; I never even said that anyway. She's just taking some little thing I probably blurbed one time and exaggerating it to high hell in an attempt to demonize me on a public stage.

Yup, this is one of many reasons why I don't do people. You should eat them.

But really, a guy wouldn't date me because I was "~*~intimidating~*~" because I scored higher than him on the GRE.

But in more pressing matters, nobody wants to buy my astronomy book.

I have another book to sell and maybe this one will sell quicker, but international edition textbooks never sell well. It's the same content kiddos, just at a reduced price and not hardback so additional trees are not chopped. :disapprove:

If I sell those two books, I can have money to buy all of my books for next semester and have enough leftover for some neon-soled oxfords. Aww yiss!

Yup, count me as a third on this one. Scroll wheel is starting to lose its action and the buttons themselves have a softer click (causing mis-clicks, though not rapid-fires) rather than more defined. I think it's just the season for mouse suicides.

I swear people. It's not that fucking hard to read a menu. If it's not on the menu, there's a pretty good chance that we don't have it anymore. It's nice that you know what you want, but make sure we actually have it first...by reading the goddamn menu.

The mouse failed when i tried to move all 8 files to the palm pilot folder.
Caused it to drop the files into skype. mass sent files to eerry one in the chat i was in.

rofl my mouse is a big piece of shit. if i move it too fast it doesnt register movement, so i put the cursor movement obscenely high and have just gotten used to moving it really small amounts to do anything.

recently too, the right click is starting to go. if i click it in too hard it doesnt register, so i gotta kind of lightly click it to get anything done.

do they even still make the mx518? i dont want to get a different kind of mouse. fuck.

Let's all pick on Olaf night much? That lady needs to get off her soapbox.

I can only imagine the kinds of hateful bile that have been spewed about me in the 'Gamer Girls' group.

But, lets move on from that lollercoaster. I remember once, some years ago, i bought a cheap-ass $5 GE mouse from a local grocery store (it was hanging in the 'miscellaneous' isle with the magazines, dog food, office supplies, etc.). I needed a mouse for my laptop, since that little touch pad just wasn't cutting it.

The thing lasted for years, much to my surprise. But then, one fateful night, the scroll-wheel popped off it's track. it didn't fall out of the mouse itself, but it just broke free of the binding that kept it locked into the scroller beneath the plastic. That's when I realized that I was spoiled by the wheel, and refused to use the mouse without it.

I went right on Amazon and bought a new one five minutes later (still $5, but with shipping this time).

Yeah I've got 6 group chats open that have been open for days, the main window up and a game downloading and i'm at 146MB being used. I'd say the problem is more your computer than steam, especially if 200MB of RAM missing is causing a problem.

And that's kind of its purpose - to be a full fledged service both inside of games and out.

I have 8GB of RAM, so 200MB isn't causing an issue, but the software engineer in me (that's actually what I do) finds it sloppy. Aside from my gripes with DRM in general, requiring a 3rd party application that provides no essential functions drives me crazy. If Steam were an additional application that layered community features and messaging, I wouldn't have a problem.

My guess is that the high memory usage was WebKit not releasing memory for whatever reason. After all, the Steam client is basically just a crippled web browser.Chrome threads get a little out of control sometimes too.

My passenger side airbag turns off when nobody is sitting in the seat, and turns on a light letting you know it's disabled.

Unfortunately, if my girlfriend doesn't sit in just the right spot on the seat, it doesn't think anybody is sitting there. It's... worrisome. I should probably get this fixed.

The most disappointing part is: i'm facing the correct direction to see the answers, i'm just not looking anymore. I've gone back to making myself deal with the blank piece of paper that is my everyday. I want to color it and make something new from it but tell myself "I don't have time for that"

Sometimes I wonder if it's just a coincidence that every single person in all the years of my life, through any medium, that's ever been painfully cruel, judgmental, intolerant, and spiteful to me all have the same thing in common. Anyone who's ever betrayed me, abandoned me, hated me, unfairly judged me, or hurt me have all been female.

Why. I don't understand.

Also, even though I'm using a doctor-recommended, super-fine bristle toothbrush, my gums were still pouring blood like waterfalls when I brushed them for more than a minute. Fucking thin gums.

Uninstalled Steam a few weeks ago to free up some Windows partition space, but now I feel like playing Left 4 Dead again. But I can't remember what my username, password, or email was. There are only so many combinations I would probably have used, so I can probably guess it all eventually. But UGh.

Bonus rant: last night. The music at the bar was way too loud so we just kind of sat there, awkwardly nodding and smiling at each other and both trying to talk at the same time and then both yelling, "What?" at the same time, too. I hate really noisy bars.

[Polly]

I'd get a small Purplenum emblem as a tattoo somewhere (not really sure where one would really work) because I am a ridiculous dork.

[Xaeris]

All right, let me try this out.

I dislike driving in general, but I do it, because in order to perform my imitation of a productive member of society and get paid for it, I need to drive. The thing I hate most about driving is left turns. Left turns are some serious BS, but that's a whole other rant. Right now, I want to talk about the full on derp that occurs at intersections without a left turn signal.

At this one busy intersection, I, invariably have to squeeze through the tiny gaps in between speeding cars in the oncoming lane. This, in itself, is not a problem because, hey, I play video games. Patterns are what we do. No, what pisses me off is, when I've anticipated the perfect gap and start getting myself into position, one of the guys in the opposite lane starts slowing down, which in turn shrinks my window to noting.


ffs dude, I can see you coming. I'm not seriously going to make the turn until you pass; keep on driving!

[CelestialBlade]

Right on the nipple. Granted, that seems like it'd be pretty painful and extremely irritating for at least a week and some change.

Belly button
....son of a buck, both would hurt like hell o_O; Though, the PSO section IDs would make cute belly button charms...

I've considered upper back as a potential tattoo location, but I know I'm going to find *one little thing* about any tattoo I may or may not get and it's all I'll focus on, so a tattoo is probably a horrible idea for me :lol:

[Scrub]

Really wish I hadn't come into so much money from my mother passing away when I was still in High School. I never really got a job because I just stretched it out for YEARS and now I'm feeling the repercussions of it trying to find a job in a new area with no work experience besides the month I had at the place I was at before I moved here.

For some reason only having one month of work experience seems a lot worse than the 'none' i had before, too.

[BIG OLAF]

It's silly how everyone turns into the Siskel and Ebert of PSO2 when they see something they don't like. Everyone loves to be a character critic.

"Your body is too long!"
"LOL your face is nasty!"
"You look terrible in that outfit!"
"Why are you using that?"
"WHY AREN'T YOU A NEWMAN LOLI?!"

Seriously, keep it to yo damn self. If someone wants your stanky opinion, they'll ask for it.

[Outrider]

I'm still trying to figure out a good place to get a Triforce tattoo one of these days.

For years I considered just getting it on the back of my hand where Link has the emblem, but in my wiser years I've realized that's a terrible idea.

Nowadays I keep telling myself I'll just get it on my bicep or back or something. I also keep telling myself that I should get in better shape first since I don't want it to look weird on my arm after the fact, but it's probably just a stalling technique because I'm a big baby.

ALSO - I just realized that it's still another two weeks until my girlfriend gets back from visiting family in Mexico.

ALSO ALSO - Manga Studio Debut 4 doesn't have a color dropper tool? Seriously? I mean, I did only pay $5 for the software, but that's still one of the more absurd ways to drive people to pay for the premium edition.

[CupOfCoffee]

I've got a friend at work that has a Triforce tattoo on his upper back, sort of above the left shoulder blade. He doesn't have to struggle to come up with clothes that can hide it when he wants it not to be there, but it's also not the sort of thing that's too easy to casually show off.

I want another tattoo(s), but I'm not sure where or what or when or why. I don't want to become one of those people that's absolutely littered with them (while I do think sleeves can look cool, they sort of pigeon-hole their owners), but they're really fun and addicting.

[Outrider]

Yeah, I'm not really into tattoos, but I've wanted a Triforce for a few years now. One of my concerns about getting it on my shoulder/back is that it would be hard to show off like you described (and I would never actually get to see it), so that's pretty low on my list.

But man, imagine how awesome it would be to have the Triforce on my left hand with the Triforce of Courage colored in accordingly? It would be... it would be so awesome.

[BIG OLAF]

If I was ever going to get a tattoo, it would be the Algolian Seal:

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z457/BIGOLAF/Delicious%20Drama/MUUTDITTSPOUMN2.png[/SPOILER-BOX]

But, I'm pretty hairy, so it would be a pain to just shave one part of my arm/back/whatever constantly.

Belly button isn't that bad pain wise, its just one of the more irritating areas after the fact. That irritation lasted by far the longest of my tattoos. Getting any on the areola would be the worst I feel, fortunately Ive no reason to do that (yet).
That happens to be one of the most sensitive areas of my body (damn ticklishness!) so I'd imagine it would be hell for me :lol:

I know a guy at work that nearly has his whole body done. Certainly an interesting artform, but I don't know if I could legitimately do it, I get bored of things too easily and I always find stuff I want to add/change.

[BIG OLAF]

I think there's something up with my dad. He's been acting really strange lately.

- He texted my mom last night while she was out at a bar (In Philadelphia; she's visiting for a while) with her siblings and said "Please apologize to your family for all the pain I've caused", referring to their divorce back when I was like 14 years old. This took place at about midnight, according to my mom, when he should have been asleep (had to get up for work).

- My sister told my mom he called her (which he rarely does) and talked for a good while instead of just for a minute or two (even rarer).

- I called him earlier today just to say hello, and he said "I just want to let you know that I finally added you to my Emergency Contact list, in case anything happens to me." I found that really out-of-place, because we weren't even on the subject.

And he's the type of guy whose pride gets the better of him. Never would he admit if something was wrong with his health, or what have you. So, I'm stuck just sitting here wondering what's going on.

[Outrider]

Uh... you might want to talk to him and see what's wrong.

Those actions veer scarily close to warning signs for self-harm and suicide.

[BIG OLAF]

Like I said, he would almost never admit to anything, especially to me, his youngest child (to try to keep anyone from worrying). My mom said she's gonna try and get an explanation, though. He would tell her, if anyone.

[CelestialBlade]

Yeah, dig as much as you can about that issue Olaf, I used a...very similar language a couple of years ago when some really bad shit was happening with me, so it's definitely a warning sign of some sort.

So I was going to hug my friend as she was leaving my place, and in accordance with my stupid clumsy bad luck, she accidentally stubbed my right big toe hard and bent about a fourth of it back. I didn't say anything because I didn't want her to feel bad, so I stomached the pain as she left....then it all comes flooding in and I look down to see blood all over my carpet. I fortunately got it all out with some cold water and paper towels, but my toe still hurts like hell and I've got one bloody toenail. This is pretty much the story of my life :P

Thanks, I plan to. Strange how some people try to have 'closure' with certain things before they try to "do it" (not saying that's what he's gonna do; I'm just commenting on the subject). I guess everyone feel differently. I didn't really act any differently on the points leading up to the first time I tried to "do it" to myself. My mom just happened to walk in at the last moment.

But, I'm gonna wait for my mom to try and get something out of him first. i talked to him a few more times today, just about random stuff (like how he loves knocking bandit's heads off with warhammers in Skyrim :wacko:).

Not gonna lie, your situation did come to mind when it happened, heh. I think it's fine today though, my toenail still has a bit of a crease where it bent but all the blood's gone and there's no discoloration under the nail. It's still a *little* sore if I exert significant pressure onto it, but it feels no worse than what I would expect from a bruise. I'll keep an eye on it though, thanks.

I'm trying to decide if this is better or worse than when I was cleaning under shelves at my first job, heard something, stood up really fast and smashed my head on a metal shelf that gave me a concussion for a few days. Stiff competition with Hug Of Injury. I'm hilarious.

OS X. Everyone loves it. I can't stand it.

I got a free MacBook Pro through work, so I suppose I should be grateful, but trying to be productive is like shooting pool with a rope. Even from a user standpoint, everything feels neutered. If all I wanted to do was check email and read news it would be fine, but I'm trying to work. Xcode is probably a decade behind Visual Studio, but I don't have any choice since it's the "Apple way" or "eat shit and die". To make things worse, signing the Apple developer agreement is only slightly better than selling your soul into an eternity of damnation. This is going to be a long year...

Today, after having a crazy good day on PSO2(story for another time). I called it a night after the Forest Emergency Quest ended.

here is were it started, just an hour ago while in bed I was about to fall asleep. out of fucking nowhere a massive Roach speeds up my wall in a flat second. thing was as big as faucet handle. I hopped right out of my bed and rushed out my door. I asked my brother to keep an eye on it but he lost it (it was so fast). So, I was sitting on the couch for 30 minutes until my brother found it again. he sprayed it several times with raid but it wouldn't die. when I took a look at it while it was in the sink(it fell in there). I couldn't believe such a massive bug could find its way into my room. now I'm having a bit of trouble trying to sleep. I really hate bugs.... :-x

[Ghost Inside]

Eeee... Creepy! D:
And I thought finding a silverfish in my bed was bad! ._.

Was enough to keep me from sleeping anyway...!

[Bomber The Cosmonaut]

You should have punched that thing to pieces. I did that to a Centipede once due to having no other immediate tools available for destruction.

The worst thing about Centipedes are that they travel in two's usually. I don't think I could punch one of those things though. >_>

Anyway, I bought L4D2 for my girlfriend, so we can play together and what not. Come to find out, that I can't use certain gamepads, and it lags like shit for us. (Even on local? Crazy.) Kind of a big letdown, since it's a really fun game, otherwise.

Also, I can't seem to do missions in PSO2 without lagging out right at the end. Happens from time to time, but a pain in the ass, none the less.

[CelestialBlade]

Gah, I have trouble sleeping any time I find big spiders (sorry Shakuri), though usually my cat murders them before I can get to them :lol: Don't get a lot of roaches and stuff here, but I can imagine how freaky that must have been.

I have a pair of huge black knee-high gothy platform boots that have been the slayer of bugs for years. I keep a killcount.

[Ghost Inside]

Spiders are awesome, they even eat the bugs I don't like for me!

Edit: And the skin is peeling fom my burns! It hurts! :(

Kuri dear, your idea of converting can only possibly involve doing something that amuses you. Like THROWING A SPIDER ON SOMEONE. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

I'm having wifi issues with my labtop and already took it to staples to have it looked it. I blew 30 bucks and the wifi somehow shuts itself off when it overheats. I need to figure out where we have wifi in the house because this issue stumps me. I might even have to relocate the xbox to another room since I have no wifi whatso ever in my room.

I guess I'm going to miss the chance to play PSU on the xbox with the little time it has. This sucks.

That tooth that I said cracked in half a few months ago due to an over-baked chunk of oat cluster in that bowl of raisin bran broke again earlier this evening whilst eating some chicken. Now I literally only have half of that tooth intact in my mouth. Feels weird, but at least it doesn't hurt.

I've rescued a pile of NES games from the garbage before. Thankfully, there were a few in there with boxes and manuals that my collection was missing at the time. The rest are dupes without cases/manuals that I keep as backups to not play my "good" copies.

I am sick of everyone.

On Steam, I've been harassed by several people for playing on ship 2. Well, I didn't know everyone would think of it as a shithole after the ninth. I didn't know all the friends who -made me join- would stop playing. I don't think it's a pile of dicks.

They actually killed my interest to play, so I went back to Getamped2 and worked on my guild there again.

Only to have drama with a new member being followed and attacked by a crazy ex who WAS my friend, but is just a d-bag who thinks the sky is puke-green now.

And I'm pretty much enemy of the world across the game for reasons I don't really understand now, because I was trying to convince an old friend to unbreak a promise they made to me a while back.

Had serious issues with my internet tonight. Disconnected multiple times from a game I was playing, ruining my progress twice (later times I waited the few seconds until internet came back and the reconnect worked).

In the game mentioned above, 2 days in a row I did something in game that would net me a huge reward if I had waited 24 hours. They can be repeated, but I have much to do in that game that I'm going to avoid repeating things I already did.

I just spent an hour and a half trying to figure out why my keyboard would stop working at the Windows 7 login screen.

It was lit and working through the entire BIOS process. Once it hit the login screen, nothing. Switch USB ports, nothing. Alternate keyboard, nothing. System restore, nothing. I figured out that if I put it in to sleep mode, then brought it out, I could get my keyboard back. Somewhat of a victory, but I don't want to deal with that every reboot. At least I can get into my system. However, once I do get access, I find that the system restore has completely hosed Chrome and it won't even launch. It was an easy fix, but irritating nonetheless. Just when I'm preparing myself to be very tired tomorrow because I was up all night troubleshooting, I discover the issue.

My girlfriend plugged her phone into one my USB ports to charge, and it was screwing up the boot process enough to kill my keyboard.

Cant say that I'm a fan of people who talk nonstop, about nothing, or about stuff you don't give a damn about. There is a new girl at work who fits that description. Doesn't matter if you respond to her or not, o even if you look in her direction; she will keep talking constantly. Even if its an obvious awkward one sided "conversation", she just keeps talking. This is especially annoying when I have my headphones in and can see she's talking to me. It's like...shut up. Do something productive, we're at work... Go move some materials or something. She drains the damn energy out of the entire unit.

I have a bad habit of over analyzed things and figured the dungeon is pretty linear mainly because of how certain points I have to kill everything within a time limit or the path gets blocked off. I'm at the boss and my game messes up on me to so I just shutted it off and can't advance the story.

Youtube has been useless when I'm looking for information on the game. People are posting useless videos of accomplishments on that game. It would help if I can find a video of someone actually doing a walkthrough instead of videos of beating bosses on higher difficulty. <.<

I'm already broke and trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents. I make my own meals, bomb-ass meals and cook for others on the cheap - when nobody in the haus can even put together a sandwich with half a brain or makes anything for anybody else, just buyin that fast food diabetesss. But not Dollar menu for anyone takehome extras, ever, just the giant cup to say YEAH I ATE OUT AT $6 FAT BURGERS, OH U WANTED FOOD AND DIDN'T EAT? WHY DIDNT YOU (TELL ME)? COULDVE GOTTEN STUFF, (BUT DIDN'T just like last time, stuff ya face have fun?)

I am now seeing the dollar store a lot more and finding things 2 for a $1, or 3 for $1, or 4.



But I already do make sure to always look like a million dollars at 30% of retail MSRP's if not less. Now to go sell things for slight profit with ebay fee taking away, for negative profit margins then. And time lost which is money.


Money. Fuck. When is it ever enough. Yo man, stop.

I will never understand compulsive gambling and do not enjoy being dragged down with it 5 years after the fact draining for more in any capacity. That side isn't family. He's not a man. He doesn't have children or so he says.

Financial issues often feel like the most hopeless thing. I know I faced my fair share of questioning whether or not the next rent payment was even possible whole still being able to feed myself. Things...have this odd habit of working out, though. It's something I've never been able to explain, but I've always had juuuust enough to get by even in the worst of times. I, too, do not understand gambling addictions and all the money some people spend on drugs and alcohol while honest, hard-working people struggle, but we can only fight our own fights I guess.

Really sucks to hear about the FAFSA falling through because of something so stupid, Nitro. There's no real time limit on college though, so until you can get financial aid sorted out perhaps this is a good time to focus purely on other stressors, try to put them to bed. Try and get yourself back on your feet financially before getting back on the college stuff again. Wish you the best, and the best way to get your ex off your mind is to just stay busy. Sometimes it's nice to be so busy you don't have time to think about other BS.

Idk, maybe it was just one case that was messed up and it was some people who were living in the same apartment building as me and they were literally paying the landlord 18 dollars a month to live there, they were coke addicts both of them. This could have just been some isolated incident and maybe they were doing something like that system illegally but it just seemed like they were getting special treatment because they were drug addicts. I don't know, just kind of rubbed me wrong. ^^;

I don't think addiction is all that hard to understand.
I think it's an attempt to self-medicate against... Well... Mental pain. Something, anything to make things bearable, if only for a moment.
Numb the pain for a bit. Thing is by doing that you're also digging your own pit that much deeper.

It's not a pretty thing. ._.

[Ghost Inside]

I had a wisdom tooth pulled once. Didn't feel much at all when they pulled it. Didn't feel much getting home.
Had a painkiller. A few hours went by and then it started getting hurty, took a nap, and by the time I woke up it wasn't hurting any more! So really hardly anything!

I did go around tasting blood for days though!

[Sayara]

I had 4 removed at once. They couldn't put me under because:
1. my insurance was too cool for that
2. I was too frail at the time to "survive the gas"
3. My doctor knew me personally and didnt want that to be a case.

So i instead went valium'ed and felt doopy the entire procedure.

[Outrider]

My problem is that I never got them pulled when I was younger, and nowadays they really only hurt once in a while.

Of course, one of them also grew in sideways, so I totally just need to man-up and do it.

Mine grew in okay and they have room, but they're a *bitch* to keep clean and they'll scrape the insides of my cheeks every now and then, which isn't good because I'm prone to canker sores. It's nothing I *have* to get done, but I know I probably should. Good luck to ya though.

Hmm, I get nosebleeds like these from time to time, sometimes they wake me up to a bed full of blood and a dry face. My sister had a similar problem, and bothered to get hers checked out. Got some kind of surgery done and she hasn't had any since. I should probably look more into it because nosebleeds suck. Especially half an hour long ones.

[Ghost Inside]

Jesus, just had a 30 minute nosebleed. I think my brain exploded or something! Afraid to do anything now in case I make it happen again. Da hell?
I've had those, many times when I was little. I had nosebleeds A LOT. I think the longest I had was about 70-80 minutes!
Just. Wouldn't. Stop!

It's probably nothing to worry about Polly! Did you have a cold recently or been stressing a lot? That's when I usually got mine.

Try to avoid touching your nose or breathing heavily. Also things that'll get your pulse up can set it off again, like running, getting angry, turned on etc. <.<

And if you're really worried like 'I am I bleeding? Yes? No? ... I don't know!' then what I liked to do was breathe in through my nose very slowly and exhale through my mouth. Oxygen helps blood clot. So trying to block your nose isn't always the best option. (Plus having a big blob of blood pulled out when changing can open up the wound again.) But if you're busy doing stuff and can't be bothered to wait it out then I'd say it's a viable option (plugging).

When it actually does bleed putting pressure on it does help slow the blood flow down, but then there's the thing about the fact that you're touching your nose (might make things worse).
But if it starts and you gotta run then do it!

I like to just stand over a bathroom sink and let it drip until it's done, unless it's just a tiny bit, then I might just block it with a big bundle of paper or two. (Not actually plugging. And the key is a tiny bit.)

[Nitro Vordex]

Make sure you bring a book with you in that case.

Becoming more and more tempted to lock the comptuer down so my idiot siblings will not turn off my goddamn fucking noscript to view your stupid shit.

Noscript is there for a reason. If you need to turn it off to view your shit… you probably don’t need to view the shit. Now if you excuse me, histories need to be cleared again. -_-; fucking godamn

You can get your laptop hacked all you fucking like. I don’t have a backup like you do to go messing with others people shit.

[Outrider]

Make sure you bring a book with you in that case.

Oh who am I kidding, people don't read anymore. :disapprove:

It might not help so much if you've already started the semester, but if you can wait a week or so, I can't stress enough that you should check half.com for your textbooks. It saved me a bundle in college.

It also didn't hurt that once I had declared a major in English, most of my required books were novels that I could pick up for pennies a piece, but even before that I was getting textbooks for 75% off.

I decided to fulfill my curiosities about PSO 2 Early and download the jp version

Only my 2nd day of playing, the server is down for maint and i'm like oh ok, so there will be files to patch.

Next day, today I decide to click the PSO 2 icon on my start menu, expecting the launcher to pop up and download files.

Keep in mind this is my first time having to patch it AFTER installing it, a white box pops up with japanese text and a yes no option. I think to myself, that's different... i guess its asking if i actually want to install the new update.

I click yes... and i realize with the filling of the green bar its UNINSTALLING PSO 2.

Why is this a problem for me? BECAUSE THE INITAL PATCHING TOOK 3-4+ HOURS FOR ME.

First off, yes, a white box WAS different from the first time i patched, however. I CLICKED A SIMILAR LOOKING PSO 2 ICON IN THE EXPECTATION THAT IT WAS PSO 2.

My problem is this: Why, the hell SEGA, would you put the UNINSTALL FILE. ON THE *START* BUTTON MENU OF WINDOWS? Were you guys so sure PSO2 would tank that you had to make sure players had easy access to it? No other game i ever installed did that, i wasn't expecting something so retarded so i assumed that the jp text next to the PSO 2 icon on my start menu was NOT uninstall.

Ugh, there goes the plan for my free time tonight. it'll be time to get sleep for work by the time it finishes patching so why bother. Just gonna wait for the english version after all.

I come home from a shitty night at work last night. I see Facebook, and the ex that I've been missing for like a month now is dating some thirty year old guy. Words cannot describe how upset I was.

Damn tiny hands making it impossible for me to get used to the new Gamepad I had to get today. 6 years with the one I previously used, the adjustment is rough.

Ugh, I have this problem too. I find that a lot of times I can't just order a gamepad online, I have to go find it at a store somewhere before I can buy. My small hands also prevent me from being able to play piano, which really irks the fuck out of me.

Sounds stupid, but that shit just kills my motivation :lol: (:disapprove:).

[goldwing]

olaf thats y you watch ppl 1000000x times worse than you lol. iv taken up archery and i watch ppl suck at it to make me feel better. the only time i look up the pros is when i want pointers or want to learn how to do or improve my skills at the sport.

[BIG OLAF]

I guess so, but it just kills the (metaphorical) motivation boner I get when I see these other, truly amazing and gifted people do things that seem impossible to the average couch-slouch like me, haha.

Also, I think Outrider jinxed me. Even though my wisdom teeth (which only two are grown in, both sideways/upside-down/whatever angle) have never bothered me before, all four of them, especially the two that haven't broken skin yet, are all starting to hurt. Shit.

[Nitro Vordex]

Those people who are gifted, are just that, gifted. Many people do nothing but practice, and they turn out fantastic. I'm not super musically inclined, but I've also been practicing on and off for like 5 years. I've gotten better as of late, but I still want to get even better.

I always like to think that success at something is due to a combination of experience, education, and talent. Some people can lean on one of those elements more than the other, but in general you can always make up for one area through another. It's good that you keep trying. It really is.

[NoiseHERO]

I was one of those douchey kids(and now I'm a douchey young adult about it, I guess) with tiny attention spans that like to try "new things" and really enjoy the hell out of them and really get absorbed in it for like a couple weeks. Then get "far enough" and completely throw it out the window and never touch it again and just go back to drawing...

I REEEAAALLLY have to force myself to NOT do that or pick something back up at some point.

But that's the problem, I'm already saying "at some point."

[Polly]

Seeing people way better than me at something has always inspired me. When I was a kid I loved watching my uncle wail on the drums and when I was 11 he started teaching me. He started teaching me when I was 11 and here I am now an audio engineer/studio drummer and I'm pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

When I'm learning something new, I get stupidly giddy at even the smallest new thing I've picked up and can do. When I watch videos or something on youtube of somebody way better than me, I set that skill level as my end goal and it makes me wanna strive to be that and even better.

Looking at others' skill as unobtainable is such a self-defeating way of seeing things if it's something you really wanna do. They worked their ass off to get where they are, they deserve my awe, and it makes sense that I'd have to put in the same amount of effort. A negative outlook won't get anybody anywhere.

[BIG OLAF]

I guess our minds just work differently then, since I certainly don't see it as inspirational. I've always had a self-defeating attitude since I was a small child, and that's not something that's easy to change (I've tried many times, and have had a number of 'professional' psychotherapists attempt to help). Maybe someday I can look at other people and appreciate their talent, instead of loathe them for it.

Also

- My one tooth cracked for the third time now. Shame I have no money to see a dentist, but at least it doesn't hurt. I just have to be extremely careful eating any hard or crunchy food on the right side of my mouth.

- For some reason, I left the oven mitt inside the goddamn oven last night after dinner. It's an extremely good thing I went to go check on my chicken about halfway through its cooking cycle. I was able to grab the mitt with the other glove we have before it burst into flames.

For me to get that "I COULD BE THAT BADASS IF I KEEP PRACTICING?" vibe, it depends on what it is.

Every time I meet/see a new artist that's slightly/way better than me I end up getting motivated to improve and try some of the things they do.

But if it's something I'm completely new to, and I have no clue what I'm looking at... I just become "Uhhhhhhhh-fuckit I'ma go watch TV."

One big trap, is definitely trying to learn to run before you can crawl... But the fun part is where the running is! ;o;/

[Polly]

One big trap, is definitely trying to learn to run before you can crawl... But the fun part is where the running is! ;o;/

That's where a lot of people get hung up. Say someone wants to learn guitar or something, the first thing they wanna learn to do is play all those songs by their favorite artists, but quickly give up when they realize there's a hell of a lot more to it than that. Playing scales is certainly a hell of a lot less fun than busting out a sick guitar solo, but every big task is composed of smaller tasks that are easier to handle and build to the big picture.

I guess I'm weird in that I find the learning process fun. I enjoy picking up things bit by bit and feeling improvement over time. It's just rewarding.

[CelestialBlade]

Small goals are usually far more motivating than big ones, especially when learning something. As long as you can achieve some level of accomplishment, it's motivating, to me anyway. Even if someone's learning to draw, managing to put down a straight line could be considered a goal. Small steps will definitely get you to where you want to be as long as it's a self-sustaining motivation.

[Nitro Vordex]

Master the basics, and the rest will come a lot easier.

[NoiseHERO]

Seeing someone do something at a high level is taken as a challenge for me to get myself at an even or higher (usually higher :P) level. It's what got me into figure skating actually.

Also, UGH, The Last Story. I just want this dumb game to be over. Sure, I could just quit, but I'd feel like a massive toolbag if I did since I was one of the people clamoring for it to be released here. I can admit when I got egg on my face. And even if I did quit, my brain just wouldn't leave me alone about it. Like that time I kept saying I was going to quit playing Xenosaga Episode II.

[Nitro Vordex]

Well, it ended on an easier note last night with my ex, but now I just feel like an ass. I hope she doesn't hate me now; I still care about her quite a bit.

Buh. Relationships can be such a pain in the ass.

[NoiseHERO]

I just quit Legend of Dragoon a moment ago. About an hour into Disc 4. I feel like I wasted time I could have spent playing something I actually like instead of playing something that others seem to adore and hype up. It was just so... Damn boring. Gave it a chance at least. :disapprove:

Meru, Haschel and Shiranda were damn good in battle though. No clue why they allow one character to have that much speed. Shame you couldnt take weakass Dart out for an OP team of Meru/Haschel/Shiranda though...

I can never finish turn based games (other than Pokemon but that game's designed for kids and fans that like playing the same game over and over.) Because it seems like everything is interesting or "fun" up until you get to that one boss that's going to keep telling you "GO GRIND FOR 3-5 LEVELS OR I'M JUST GONNA KEEP OHKOing YOUR WHOLE PARTY."

It's pretty much why I dropped FF7 at the final boss. Or why I've never beaten ANY final fantasy other than 4..(somehow) Or why I don't even remember where I left off in Persona 3. and why I'm already discouraged getting anywhere in Persona 4. It's like congrats you got me JUST interested enough to like your game up till the part where you told me to run around in circles doing a repetitive action just so the boss doesn't cheat me.

The first month of Persona 4 is probably the toughest when it comes to getting through the dungeon on time and beating the final Shadow boss there. After that, if you just fight every fight on your way through the rest of the dungeons, you'll be fine. I never once had to stop and grind in Persona 4 the way I felt I had to in P3.

I'd be more pissed at the fact that they're making all the watchers wait a whole goddamn year to see how it all pans out after the undoubtedly super-cliffhanger mid-season pause point. Do a lot of shows do that "mid-season break (some fucking break)" crap nowadays? I don't really watch any TV besides my favorite sports teams when they're televised.

It's even worse when you tell them this and they get all melodramatic and act like you're a terrible person who feeds off of other peoples anger.

My sister preordered it. We both opened it and said in unison
"Wow, this is shit."

Took it back after the first cutscene. That is NOT quality. We had the collector's edition, too.

Also, as far as my relationship drama goes. Remember that one girl I bitched about at least three times? I finally snapped out of it after she started whining about how she can't do anything, and I tried to help her and she gets upset about leaving her comfort zone.

As soon as I said "Fuck your comfort zone", I was instantly blocked from everything. If that doesn't say what kind of person you are, I don't know what does.

I'm pretty sure it's just AMC trying to get as much out of the show as they can since it's been quite a cash cow for them. Television's never usually big on shows with definite beginning and end points, and from the get-go it's been clear that Breaking Bad would be a show that has an ending. I gather that Breaking Bad also has one of the highest production budgets in television too (and it absolutely shows if that's the case), with each season getting more and more expensive, so it could very well be that the show had to take a mid-season break due to costs, but I'm really still thinking it's more of just AMC not wanting their baby to go away just yet.

There are a few other shows that are known to take lengthy mid-season breaks (South Park always splits their seasons into two halves as well), but a year between both halves is probably the longest I've ever seen.

The game didin't lose me that fast. In fact, I thought it had a pretty great opening few hours. It's just as the combat and systems behind it started making themselves more known, it became more and more annoying and disappointing. The story and characters actually stayed pretty strong for a while and then fell off for me.

You know this already, but you're just not in a position to be that close right now. It's only going to be torture for you, and whether she understands that or not you gotta do what you've gotta do. She may be okay with being friends but you need time to heal--take it. Wishing you the best.

Oh, yes. I hadn't considered the monetary gain that they could miss out on if they went through the whole season in one go. Still, it must be frustrating waiting so long. I'd be quite annoyed with it, especially if it was something I really enjoyed watching.

I certainly don't know what you're going through, as I've never been in anything even close to relationship with anyone ever (and hopefully never will), but hopefully you can recover from it all soon. Emotional pain is the worst kind. If you'd like to add me on Skype sometime to talk, go right ahead.

I agree with the above dudes and dudettes, Nitro. Letting the girl know that a friendship would be too painful for you definitely isn't a jerk move, and I'm quite sure it's the one Dan Savage would recommend.

Yeah, uh, sharp pains are bad.

I had a cat bite once. Everyone laughed when I said I had to go to the hospital. Apparently it isn't common knowledge that cat bites can be extremely dangerous, and very frequently become very badly infected (so frequently that it's considered the norm).

The infection is best foreshadowed by...you guessed it, sharp pain.

Go get that checked out!

I acknowledged that it was a strained muscle from work, I lifted a very heavy metal plate like 12-15 times at work yesterday because the drivers who deliever my trailers are dumb and can't park correctly. Since the pains gone, the bites remain

Is it just me, or could the entire Clint Eastwood RNC preformance actually be a bit of hidden snark, mocking the echo-chamber of political ideologues who craft narratives about their opponents and then respond to those fictional narratives with sound-bite zingers? Or is it, as John Steward put it, just not that uncommon to see old people yelling at inanimate objects?

My mom told me that the government is now taking $100 out of her disability check every month for medicare or some stupid bullshit like that. That's not good; we were barely making it as it was. If I don't get a job soon, we're going to be homeless. Again.

Stupid people doing stupid things.

My cousin has been watching too much History channel and unscrupulous disaster "documentaries". He's become worried about hyperinflation, and he's had me watch these National Geographic specials on survivalists who believe the end of the world is right around the corner. Ironically, so far most of the people they've shown who were worried over an "economic end of the world" are fat fucks who are storing years worth of food. That's kind of funny enough in itself, but it occurs to me the these people are fucking spoiled as hell to even consider a mindset in which economic collapse would be an "end of the world" scenario. It's not. Those scenarios have been every-day life for most of human history, and are a present reality for a disturbing amount of the world's population. Want to test your preparation for doomsday to see if they really are viable? Move to Somalia, or the Congo, or Libya and Afghanistan if you're into the military occupation/guerrilla warfare scenario. They have zero practical experience with such scenarios... you'd think they'd want to stress test their preparations in a real-world environment.

Further, to assume that America (or Canada, Europe, or other industrialized nations) would face hyperinflation so bad that it would completely destroy the total fabric of civilization is just stupid. Long before something like that happened, we'd end up doing what Turkey, Brazil, Germany, Greece, Hungary, China and other governments have done when faced with crippling hyperinflation. You issue a new currency. Set to either a fixed rate of inflated currency, or to the "real" value of a commodity, and then slowly transition over while phasing out the old currency. It's not as easy as that sounds, granted, but hyperinflation is far from a "doomsday" scenario.

Lastly, if you define the "end of the world" as merely being a catastrophic or rapid change in the world and a mass displacement from civilization, rather than an actual extinction level event, then what of a "technocalypse" in which society doesn't collapse, but continues to advance at an increasingly faster rate. A thousand years ago, the society your grandfather was raised in was essentially the exact same society that your children would be raised in. But in modernity... well, my grandfather was born before the application of commercial plastics. My father was born before the adoption of the semiconductor. I was born before the commercialization of the internet. My nephew was born at the dawn of genomics.

Major paradigm shifts in industry and society are happening relatively rapidly, and I wonder how long it will be until the resources and time invested needed to build the skills and resources necessary to sustain a post-societal retreat will sabotage the individuals ability to function and thrive within a society that is rapidly passing them by. They are fulfilling their own predictions - a displacement from a functional society not though collapse, but through it's advancement and their refusal to advance within it.

The Black Lion Shop just won't work for me. I open the window, but it is completely empty. No auction house, no gem shop - all of it is simply grey background.

Dear c&s. (http://www.cswg.com/) The floor is not considered a skid nor should it ever be. Its nights like these that wonder how people are so dumb to do the shit that they do.

It may be hard to understand being that you guys are a bit on the... monkey-sh side and all but trailers should not have skids of frieght that:

Be so crowded inside the trailer that the reciever (me) cannot even get the dockplates down or even OPEN THE DOOR because its so cram packed.
(like seriously, it took us 20 minutes alone to get the dockplate down and out from under the first skid of watermelons)
Have one or no layers of shrink wrap
Have things with bottle necks (Sodas, Orange Juice) on the bottom and things like boxed milk on the top.
Nor should they have flour or other bag type items as the foundation either.
Be stacked so tall that they cannot be taken out of the trailer, or out to the floor because it hits the pipework in my back hallways.
Have their stores scrambled having reciever (me) have to take every skid out to get the 4 skids that are mine and the other 20+ back in the trailer.
Keep damaged or destroyed goods on a load
Have broken boxes be the foundation
Be on a "fuck you i get here when i get here basis" (see Comcast)


its a wonder how a huge corporation Giant/Stop&Shop throws out so much money a week from destroyed merchandise, workers comp and overtime because of the uselessness of their cheap labor delivery service.

Now watch, im going to get written up for overtime work because i had to resolve a 15 skid trailer which took like an hour+ of my time when its usually a 20 min ordeal AND still have the grocery trailer to unload. 4 hours! 4 fuckin hours, I love my job.

My AT&T billing cycle started at a weird time (the ninth of each month) so I got one final bill for my roomie's stupid cable after he moved out. We'd been splitting it, but it seems like an asshole move to tell him to send me a check from LA for $40.

I got woken up in the middle of the night by some drunk driver zooming down the road shouting get out of the way.

I'm falling behind in class with a project because I never learned how to use ruler. I thought school was suppose to teach you how to do stuff to prepare you for stuff for later. I love my graphic design class but I hate how I am behind because a teacher was too busy back in High school to teach me and a d-bag decided to be a jerk while trying to teach me. <.<

[Sayara]

Not sure I remember how to sleep properly anymore.

[Wayu]

Almost got hit by a Porsche, a Ferrari, 2 Audis, 2 Mazuratis, a handul of Fords and about the population of China in Volkswagon Santanas crossing 2 intersections (10 minutes of walking).

I know them Chinese people like cars but learn how to drive before you buy the car.

Except in the case of the Santana. You probably need a Delerict Driver's License to drive that thing.

Stepped on glass today in the kitchen. I've found out just how breakable my glasses are in the past week >_>;;

On about one hour of sleep, barely staying awake, but there's severe storms and I want to stay up so I can relay storm reports to the NWS >_<; The joys of being a registered storm spotter~

nah he could probably afford a car that didn't sound like it was gonna fall apart any second.

Getting a little annoyed with some friends that have turned into snobbish Android crusaders. It seems like I can't check a text anymore without someone getting all up in my shit about my iPhone not being as large, as current, or customizable as a Galaxy S III. Great. I get it. I give exactly 0 fux about the ongoing war for phone supremacy, but I guess we'll have this conversation again.

I wish they would get it through their heads that the iPhone is aimed at the non-power user that doesn't need their phone for specific work things. That's exactly what I am, and I'm totally cool with that. I just want a fast, stable, responsive, well-made phone that lasts all day and has an arsenal of well-tested apps that do what they're supposed to. I don't care about being able to build super complicated home screens full of widgets or select from eight different ergonomic thumb keyboards or hack the Pentagon when I'm walking around downtown on a 3G connection.

I think a power event a few weeks ago damaged my computer somehow. I've had a minimum of 4 BSODs since August 27. I'm hoping it is just bad RAM, and will likely be ordering new RAM and a Uninterrupted Power Supply with voltage regulator this weekend.

People that don't check their notifications on forums, etc. They have messages and stuff sit there for days before they go "oh, didn't see that, hurr durr."

That should be the first thing you even look at when you log in. Not like it takes a Herculean effort to read them.

Just knocked the fucking shit out of myself by walking into the edge of a door. Let me tell you, it FUCKING HURTS! From one headache this week from a pinched nerve in my neck to a-fucking-nother. Hoping to god I didn't just give myself a fucking concussion.

[CelestialBlade]

If you don't still have a headache tomorrow you're probably fine. I've had one or two concussions resulting from sheer stupidity >_>

You and I need to be locked in a padded room :lol:

Anyway, on topic; Freaking writers block has kept me from getting any progress on my writings done, and I know people want to see what happens since I left it on a bit of a cliffhanger. @_@ I'm also trying to look for a new job since the one I'm working at has had weekly hours for all employees cut from 120 to 48 since I started and the Assistant Manager has to work 40 of those. Once the holidays roll around I'm expected to know what to do and I haven't even finished my damn training. F*ck Gamestop, you're hiring more people yet aren't giving us hours? *RAGE*

Plus I still find myself breathing a sigh of relief whenever I hear my mother step through the door...still haven't gotten that shooting scare completely out of my head. @_@;;;; The only thing keeping me sane at this point is this Rock MM3 remix that I found the other day. (And brief sessions of PSO2) >_>;;;

I just want to find the energy to get started because I know it'll flow from there.

But, we did, and--AND IT WASN'T ENJOYABLE, AT ALL >:l

In all seriousness though, the dread from your mom's incident will fade with time. Nothing that traumatic goes away easily. It's like being in a near-fatal car crash, and then wanting to drive again--the traumatic memory is still everpresent and it wears on you. But it'll get better, in time.
