How's Life?

[silverDistortioN]

after over an hour of debating the ethicality of posting this topic without actually telling everyone how my life is...... (not really tho.)

i will say this, however: i like trees! ^.^

[Kilu]

It would have obviously been so much cooler if the old starters would have started their threads this time around as well. But then again, some of the old posters don't post anymore, so I guess it's okay to start these anyway :)

I got my new computer setup on Friday :w00t: And assembled it quite fast, faster than I expected from me :) Hooray for my new not so crappy computer :)

[pikatsu]

I'm eating candy. :hungry:

Life is relativily well balanced soup of good and bad.

[Locke Cole]

How's Life? Well, since you asked...

Life is going okay I guess, Lintbox has been a bit slow to start, lacking clients and all that fun stuff, but otherwise it's all good.

My old soundcard in my PC blew up, so I just got a new SB Audigy 2 ZS donated :D That's why we've been having all the live broadcasts lately.

My girlfriend of 5 years recently decided we were over. I have yet to know why we seperated, and I still love her dearly, but I hope things can be fixed with that at some point.

My apartment building just got new owners, and they have announced major renovations to our buildings. New windows, doors, a new courtyard with a garden and stuff, new walkways, lots of things to make the buildings more attractive looking. Construction has already begun, wakes me up every morning :/ Atleast they are improving this place :D

Well, thats all for now, hopefully these new forums won't give us too much trouble, so far it's smooth sailing.

[pikatsu]

Blew up, as in smoke'n flames, shrapnel and wounds?

[Kyari]

How's life, eh?

Oh, on a side note, I like how the posts show which one they are. No more wondering who got what post!

Life is . . . . peachy, I guess. I've still got a lot on my mind, but I'm excited as well that there's only one month left before I leave on my mission. i'm getting prepared, mentally and spiritually. I'm also getting ready to quit my job; that'll be a relief. it's not a career for me, Tech Support. No sociality, many angry people. Oh well.

[Zedie9]

:talk: Life's fine, as always. I'll elaborate in my Hey, Zedie! Thread, when Bama creates it. If Bama creates it. If we even decide to do the Named Thread thing - or even follow our old set of self-imposed guidelines. O_O (http://205.209.144.11/forums/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)

[Locke Cole]

Blew up, as in smoke'n flames, shrapnel and wounds?
No, blew up meaning the card wasn't functional anymore. It was an SB Live 5.1, but the SB software said "No soundblaster is installed in your PC". The audio it outputted was distorted and way too loud, and the drivers had been installed many times. The card was pretty old, and we wanted to get a new one for the live radio shows (for voiceover support) so it's all good. :music:

[Kyari]

Well, if that's the criteria for something exploding, then my Radeon 9200 SE exploded when I put Win XP on the computer. It works for the BIOS, but doesn't for Windows itself. I've reinstalled drivers and everything. Oh well.

Zedie - Make your own Named Thread (easier that way).

[Locke Cole]

Kyari - Making your own named thread was not how we use to do things. The point of having a named thread was that someone else made it for you, in your honour or whatnot. Making a thread for yourself just makes you look silly. :p I'd make Zedie's thread, but I think I'll leave that to the original creator. However, I did make one person's personal thread, I think it's time to revive it. :D

[silverDistortioN]

or even follow our old set of self-imposed guidelines. screw the guidelines... you know you want to. ^.~
...cuz they're so sexy.

[Kyari]

Oh well. The people who know know.:emlaugh:

[Zedie9]

:wonder: But do the people who know know which people don't know and which people do know? :evilgrin:

[Kilu]

I just came from school about 3 hours ago. Did some math about 3 hours straight, my head almost exploded :p

[jetblue]

I was watching that spanish soap opera(novela) about Gypsys that I mentioned in the old forums and they finally did the wedding.They took forever to get to it.
Last week was good because one of the gypsy daughters went to the sea shore on a full moon night to get rid of a curse.She had to be alone and strip naked in the water and pray to the gypsy moon god to cleanse her.In order for it to work no one must gaze upon her while she does the ritual.Of course a fisherman walked by and a fishing boat.
I like the word they use for us non gypsys.Gasho or gajo.

When it was almost 1 minute until the show started another soap opera was ending and I was on the floor with laughter.There was these 3 women on some train tracks and a train was moving towards them at a very slow speed and there was this nun shooting at them then the police arivied and stood there shouting for the women to get off the tracks because a very slow train was coming.Thats where it ended and it said tune in tommarow.

If you want to see the show its called GITANAS and its on telemundo network .It starts at 8pm central and If you put captions 1 the captions will be in english.

Life is good with shows like this.There not many shows with such beutiful women in it.Not like those anorexic high maintanece goofballs on fox.
These women have knives in such sweet places.

[Nahkrinoth]

I'm working a shitty construction job for 10$ an hour. It's difficult, and I endure long hours in the hot Texas sun. I can't wait for school, where 15 hours a week is considered full time.

[BAMAToNE]

Wow, Nahk. Usually a labor job like that gets more than $10/hr. I admire you being able to do that kind of work in the sun. More people need to learn the value of hard labor, don't you think? :)

I've worked in a damn hot warehouse before, and as a delivery guy driving trucks around town. It's hot as hell in Alabama, too. I'm pretty sure I made $10/hr then, too. But now I work tech support and do network admin stuff and only make $7/hr. Bleh.

[Nahkrinoth]

Wow, Nahk. Usually a labor job like that gets more than $10/hr. I admire you being able to do that kind of work in the sun. More people need to learn the value of hard labor, don't you think? :) Man, that is dead on. A few weeks ago I would've never done this and I probably won't ever again, if I can avoid it. I've screwed off in my share of classes, but lately, working in the hot sun seems so much more difficult than doing class work, no matter how difficult the class is, or how much stupid bullshit has to be waded through. By the way, I will never ever EVER haul 600 square bales with only 2 friends at 3 o clock in the afternoon in the middle of august, again!

[Yuffie]

Life's good because we got new forums! Vote Yuffie! ^_~

Don't think I have anything new to report really, except trees are kinda cool.

[Zedie9]

By the way, I will never ever EVER haul 600 square bales with only 2 friends at 3 o clock in the afternoon in the middle of august.
:D From your vehemence, I'm assuming that you mean you'll never do so again. ;) :rofl:

[silverDistortioN]

without trees, there would not be squirrels.

*continues his deep, philosophical contemplations*

[Pezito]

Without squirrels, there would be more nuts... :search:

How's life ? Well, a bit busy as you can guess. I amost had a heart attack when I saw the new forums (thanks to Kilu who informed me ;) ) ! As a matter of fact, Silver - don't take it bad - you should've waited more for people to start new threads. I won't curse your name and wish you a horrible and painful death because of it, but you shouldn't have done that, period. Hey I still hope you will err... like, be bitten by a rabid squirrel ! XD :p

Back to my life (it's so interesting ^^) ! Nowadays I use to go to my friend's and watch movies and talk with him ; I liked Hellboy a lot and I think The Butterfly Effect is a must-see (reminds me of Donnie Darko albeit less spacey) (hey Zedie, it looks like I'm starting to use your words... "albeit" :rofl: ) ! The Last Samurai was good too (maybe a bit long ?) ; the ending was sad, in fact I watched it on the last night with my girlfriend, before she left to her place (800 Km South) after one week together... By the end she was asleep by my side, and I think the emotional quality of both the movie and the situation overwhelmed me... I almost cried. ( ._.);

Enough for now ! :3

[silverDistortioN]

well... next time a new board rolls around... i'll let whoever created the threads here create the same ones over there...

[Pezito]

(Actually I don't think it's a matter of the same people recreating the old threads, more of not the same one person recreating so many threads at once. ^^)

[silverDistortioN]

okay! =D
then next time, i'll be sure to recreate all the threads... just more slowly. ^.~

[Pezito]

(read "the same one person recreating so many threads - and at once" then :p )

[silverDistortioN]

but... it's not at once... so that would make it completely alright. =)
because... (one person == true AND at once == false) == false.

meh, why do i bother to continue these ramblings...

[kai]

well i jumped 35 feet out of a tree last night . . . . . i'm ok, it was into water. today my back started hurting and i think it was related to last night and it was bad enough i went home from work but that was no loss really. i have a new acoustic guitar to add to my list of instruments . . . . well until it's owner finds away to transport it across the country.

:dance: i was happy to see my thread made it to the new forums too even if it made it here before i did :wall:

[Zedie9]

(Actually I don't think it's a matter of the same people recreating the old threads, more of not the same one person recreating so many threads at once. ^^)
:finger: Speak for yourself - I very much wanted to create my threads. :cry:

*sigh* Anyway. Pezito ~ create your Haiku Thread again whenever you like. I guess I've got dibs on re-creating your Named Thread, but that can be discussed in the appropriate locale. ;)

[Yuffie]

I've hurt my back somehow, can't figure out how though. O.o
I mean there's so many random prancing and jumping things I do I can't pinpoint it! :D

It's only on one side though so it's probably from when I decided to vault over the sofa and landed somewhat badly...

[kai]

went to the doctors today and they said my back went into a spasm when i hit the water and stayed tense. they gave me muscle relaxers so hopefully these will work. :wonder:

why does no one really use the wide assortment of smileys?

[Yuffie]

Because we're afraid of them. :p

There's so many!!

:D I do. But not randomly. I wait for an appropriate moment for each glorious smiley to beam its radiant face. </schlock> :shades:

[pikatsu]

Damn the humidity....

[Kilu]

* please try to keep the number of images per post to 10 or so. This includes emoticons (smilies).

I don't know how strict Locke will be regarding that, but don't overdo it Kai :) Some people (dialuppers) may not appreciate huge amount of pics.

As far as using them.... there are so many and I'm too lazy to open the popupbox to use them all :) After I remember some of the codes, I will probably use them a bit more. Right now I mostly use :) and :D and maybe :flagfi:

[kai]

in that case (below) i was simply trying to make a point of the alarming amount of smileys available not break any rules. now that i have had my banana fix i will not use many emoticons (don't get me wrong i plan on using at least one a post) all the time . . . . . . . . . . i think :confused:

now where is that chipmunk :search:

[Yuffie]

I've recently noticed a certain bulging..um...bulge in my stomach region in need of shifting before bikini time so I'm starting my good old summer toning and slimming part....it's tough......but it has to be done.

So I'm currently eating food which tastes like cardboard, drinking drinks with no taste and doing a variety of very ouchy workouts. Here's hoping it works. ;)

[Zedie9]

:D Just go ahead and give birth to it. Silver has been waiting to see his baby for a while now. :evilgrin:

[silverDistortioN]

i will call him... eduardo.

.....*especially* if it's a girl.

[Kyari]

And I will christen it and we will sail it to the moon.

Life is . . . ever so happy. I don't think I've been more excited in my life. Im quittin' work, which I hate, I'm leaving for Australia, and I'm hanging out with good friends. Let the good times roll! :dance:

[Pezito]

Nowadays my mood is very changing ; most of the time I'm just busy and happy with everything, yet sometimes I find myself quite tired, a bit bored with people, impatient... I don't know... I think I need a break. :D

[Yuffie]

You know all of a sudden I have a new found motivation to get rid of it. :p

[Kyari]

How's life . . .

I just got back from the Cape Breton Highlands in northern Nova Scotia . . . camped there all weekend. The mountains there aren't tall, but the views are breathtaking. And, living at sea level all your life, being 1200 feet off the ground is . . . exciting. I have a newfound appreciation for the Earth.

:D Kyari ~ I thought you were going to use Concerning Kyari for ruminations on your state of being? I mean, I ask out of curiosity - use, of course, whichever you like. :bouncy:

[Kyari]

I plan to, but given the opinions about personal threads, I'm going to start with missionary stuff . . .

[Yuffie]

We had a huge panic the other day, to do with our trip to Florida. :rofl:

We got a phonecall saying the tickets couldn't be exchanged because my bf was going instead of my sister's (her main one who found out about the others and dumped her).

But we fixed it by yelling at the Virgin atlantic head office and they changed it. :D

If not my bf's friend apparently knows Richard Branson. O.o
He has some weird but useful friends....like me! :D

Well...I'm not especially useful. :p

[Locke Cole]

Life sucks, nuff said.

Business isn't going well, things with Paula have gotten worse, its hard to keep face for clients when you feel like crawling into a hole and never coming out. :o

[Zeugma 440]

When I'm at work, I tend to be someone else, as if I were acting... I guess that even if I had family problems, I would still feel at ease :)

Life's damn busy : I have to debug personal softwares, softwares for work, take care of a newly updated website and redesign my own one (my current main host has become so crappy that I'll probably switch to a certain host owned by a certain treasure hunter ;) ).

Hopefully, I have DDR to spend my energy on at the end of the day :D

[Kyari]

DDR! Yay! I'm getting that soon.

Life's damn busy
:D And one of these days, I'm going to pester you for a list of all your music. I would have already, but :emlaugh: I figure I should make space to receive before requesting. ;)

[Yuffie]

If you don't mind my asking, why did you and Paula split up? It just seemed somewhat unexpected. :wonder:

My life's ok, I've planned a trip to London to the British museum to pay yet another visit to the Egyptian exhibits. :emlaugh:
One day I'll go to the Cairo museum. :D

I'm gonna go to a special bookshop there too, it only sells plays and scripts rather than normal books. I'll be in my element. :p

[pikatsu]

Life's droning on... If it weren't, I'd be dead. :p

I haven't the slightest idea what to do with my life. So I watch anime. I can heartilly recommend Girls Bravo, and DearS. Lots'a fanservice... :thumbup:
Re:Cutie Honey is also great, but not for the faint of hearted. Some nudity and hilarious obscinities.

[Pezito]

W00t... I'm finally unemployed. :)

My collaboration with Nevrax, working on The Saga of Ryzom (http://www.ryzom.com), has come to an end on September 30. I feel kinda sad ! :wonder: It's been almost 2 years since I started working on Ryzom, and 1 year 1/2 since I joined Nevrax. They would've kept me if I had said yes, and I would've liked to say yes... But I think now is the time for me to get back to what I'm best at, and what I really want to do : graphics. :p So I prefered to stop now - which doesn't keep me from going back to them if one day they look for a graphist ! ^^ But for now the GFX team is full, they don't need more people. Maybe later...

The game is doing good, although some distribution problems make things more difficult ; we have a lot of players already, all very enthusiastic (and that's a relief ;) ) and wanting their friends to join... So the buzz is there... But too many people have problems just FINDING the box. Crappy distributors ! (è_é) Anyway, I'm happy to see our players really enjoy the game, be they curious newbies or veterans looking for a fresh experience. I'm no more a dev now, only a player, but I hope the community will remain as fine as it is now ; no or few whiners / rants, mostly positive and helpful feedback, enthusiasm and assistance between high-level and low-level players... Now all we need is the game to keep improving, good patches coming as intended, and all will be fine ! ^^ There's too much in this game to just lose it because too many people only care for EQ2 or WoW (although we have already "converted" some of them to SoR :D ).

Now that I'm unemployed, I'll enjoy my free-time and improve my book and website ; time to get back to 3DSMax, too ! :p Next week I'll go and see Steamboy with my friend. Katsuhiro Otomo's new film, that's to be seen ! :D Then I'll go spend some days in the South with Gigi, then back to Paris.

Life's fine, as always. I wonder how long this can last ? (^_^)

[Zedie9]

:) What book? And how is Gigi? :wonder: I think it's high time I sent you an email. :spin:

[Pezito]

:D I was actually talking about my "artistic book", you know, the thing I put my drawings in so that I can present them to a possible employer. :) As for Gigi, everything's fine. ^^ It's silly how I can't sum it up better than this... But everything's fine ! XD People in love, happiness, you know, boring stuff like that. ;)

And what about you Zedie, how's life ? :p

[Zedie9]

:) Life is full - very full. I guess that's a good thing, as long as one is relatively happy, which I am. But I still wish I could, you know, do nohing all day but watch movies, play games, read books, listen to music, and goof off with firiends and family. ;) Is that too much to ask? :bouncy:

[Zeugma 440]

My life's busy, as usual :D Aside from studies and personal projects, I now work as a "junior engineer" to earn my own money. Coding for money is definitely better than delivering pizzas all night long, nuff said :spin:

Hopefully, there's still room for entertainment : anime and music after a long day's work. Witout it, I'd be already as dead as my DDR pad (http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/bawl.gif I'll fix it when I go back to my parents'... my father should have some kind of tool to repair this electronic stuff...)

[Zedie9]

:) You used to deliver pizzas? Did anyone ever offer to pay you with sex rather than cash? (It's a somewhat common urban legend, so the question isn't totally ridiculous. :p )

[kaserdan]

Hey ppl ! I see you're doing pretty fine around here ! Glad to see that !

How's life ? Mine is great ! I've started a new dungeon & dragons game with good friends, and I'll have a full month vacation during holidays. Now isn't that cool ? ^_^

[Pezito]

Hey Kaserdan ! (^o^)/

So I guess you'll put that vacation to good use and come post here more often, right ?... :D

As for me, yes I am back! MWHAHAHAHA

I'm quite busy...but I'm also more rich than before.

[Pezito]

Are you implying you've found a job ? :spin:

[Cyrano de Hero]

Speaking of lengthy absences...

Anyway, de Hero should be around more often now. You people let my 5-word story add on sink, though... :( :( :cry:

Life's slowly but surely crawling its way along. This is my last year in college for at least 4 or 5 years, if I ever return... I'm starting up a crazy business distributing products for a compnay. (it's NOT Amway) We'll see where that goes...And my problems with the local womenfolk in my life seem to be getting better...:love:

[Zedie9]

Says a man who had not been posting in a while himself :shame:
:) Yes, but Kaserdan was gone from since before the forums went down, methinks. ;)

[Zeugma 440]

:) You used to deliver pizzas? Did anyone ever offer to pay you with sex rather than cash?
Nope, I didn't but I took this as an example because many students try and get money by doing jobs like this. When you're studying to be physician, you can't do anything until you get your diploma so you have to work on jobs that don't require a high study level, like pizza delivering or item counting.

With computer engineering, it's different. Even though you cannot work as an engineer, you can make money by working as a tech (coding, building websites, etc...) thanks to a broker association that takes care of legal stuff between you and your employer :spin:

[kaserdan]

Yeah, I've cheated on you guys. rpgamers.net was my first and only forum (I posted sometimes in gamefaqs and rpgamer.com, but not as much as in here), but now I post on a local forum with some friends who share a common passion for role playing games and animes. We formed a new club together named "Tomodachi to Ishoni". We meet each friday evening to watch animes and we play RPGs every now and then. This is a lot of fun !

Aside that, my job still requires a week per month away from home... And I fell in love with one fine girl (my sister friend in fact), and she now knows how I feel. She asked me for time, but didn't say no. Let me hope... Unfortunately, she's an hour away from my place, and we both don't have much time for ourselves. What a crazy feeling, this "love" thingy http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wacky.gif

It feels so nice to read here again !! http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/bouncy.gif

[Zedie9]

:D Good luck with the femme!

And instead of cheating on us, why don't you invite your group of friends to the boards? :spin:

[kaserdan]

I've always liked your "advertising" style Zed !

There's one forum-fanatic-girl in my club. I already talked about this community with her, but I'll see if she wants to join next time I see her !!

[Hierlark16]

Sigh... I don't have any friends at school who like video games. NOT ONE OF THEM DOES! ARGH It pisses me off sometimes. They give me crap about VGM and VGs in general. But my friend Laura says we're all allowed one good obsession. Mine is VGs, hers would be Dark Angel ;)

[kaserdan]

Depends on how deep you're fond of your "obsession", and how well you deal with it VS social skills and whatever comes around.

There's some luck involved too, me thinks. I, for one, have a lot of friends sharing the same passions.

That girl I like loves video games and animes ! http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/knockedout.gif

[Charon]

I went to a gig last night, to see Franz Ferdinand. :D It was ****ing awesome. Managed to worm our way from the back, right up to the fourth row. >_< I emerged at the end, tired, sweating like a hog and grinning like a badger. Loved it.


<Yes, badgers do grin.>

[Mithrandir]

Cool Charon, I think the band was supposed to come to Montreal but apparently the show got cancelled...


Anyway, what's up in Quebec City? Bus strike. Yeah and using yhe bus service to go to school, work and go out, I am now stuck at home or walking long distances. I hate BUS DRIVERS. I hate STRIKES.

They already have a 20$/h salary but they want more. They just drive ****ing buses! It's not like it was hard or something...

[Pezito]

Ah-ha !... One more similarity between Québec and France. We get bus/train/subway strikes every year (with an almost traditional regularity XD ) !

[Mithrandir]

Well the strike finally ended...yesterday. Now the buses are back, the thing is, in two months, the maintenance workers might do also a strike which would cause a reduction of services...

But, I am no more stuck in my house or walking 1h30...hehe

[Giea]

(Short and sweet...) I'm all happy that Bush is President. Thank you. =)

[jetblue]

The election frieghtened me. Especially how kerry won Illinois.
Edwards should of ran instead of kerry.
The silent civil war continues.

[Pezito]

Unfortunately, I think only half of the USA are happy that Bush is president (not to mention the rest of the world, which is mostly unhappy). Good luck anyway... (-_-)

[Locke Cole]

Personally I was cheering for Kerry, but alas having Bush as president again has its advantages. For example, since Bush has run the US into such a debt, the Canadian Dollar exchange rate has soared, and is currently enjoying the low-mid 80's. This helps anyone who buys from the US, and thus makes our prices lower.

Alas, theres the whole war thing and such, but it seems the south likes him. He did get the majority of the votes, even if it was close, so the Americans can enjoy having him for another term. I'm glad I just get to watch. :)

[jetblue]

I wish I lived in canada. Especially the B.C. or Youkon.
Everyone here knew kerry was doomed. The republicans are intrenched and will wipe out the democrats eventually.
As long as big buissness backs the republicans they will always prevail.
I hate to say it but the democrats need to adopt republican tactics.
(holds up 4 fingers)I see 3 fingers.

[silverDistortioN]

i think Kerry's problem was that he wanted to secure democrat votes by trying to adhere to leftist opinion... a lot of people voted against him because he flip-flopped. though, he could easily have turned that around as an example of moderatism. but he didn't.

anyway...

Silver for president, 2020!

[jetblue]

YAY!!!http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif
Let me be the first to volunteer for your campaign.

VOTE SILVER OR DIE
2020

[kaserdan]

How's life ?

She said yes and we'll go on a date this saturday ! How cool is that !!

WHEEEEEE !!! http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/love.gif

Marrige or on A date? lol..

Kerry was for abortion, like do you guys even know how they do abortion!?? Grrr!

[silverDistortioN]

Kerry was for abortion, like do you guys even know how they do abortion!?? Grrr!yeah, they take a wire hanger, and they JAM it up there!
your mom just didn't jam hard enough, it seems. =)

...I don't have anything against abortion...

[Giea]

yeah, they take a wire hanger, and they JAM it up there!
your mom just didn't jam hard enough, it seems. =)Better than being adopted. =)

[jetblue]

Is it true that in Canadahttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/flag-canada.gif there's no prosecution for downloading stuff like here in america? That canadian laws protect them from american laws?
Afew months ago there were a lot of chicagoans being sued mostly kids in poor areas. It was on the news and I felt so mad. Usally our beloved mayor protecs the citizens but I could see in the press conference while that shameful recording industry lawyer called the people being sued theives, that his hands were tied. But the mayor looked pissed. Probably wanted to break the lawyers legs.




Thats what the democrats need. Chicago style politics and tactics.

[Giea]

I'm just wondering, but how did we get from abortion to people downloading stuff in Canada?

[Kilu]

No ones life didn't involve abortion, so jetblue moved on :)

[Giea]

Mine dosent, so i'm staying on topic <("_")^

[jetblue]

I was just asking if any canadian's were reading.
Its just that the more I read about Canada the more it seems like the land of the free.http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/flag-canada.gif The Illinois governor(D) just approved a "drugs from canada bill" and off course republicans are mad as hell. So cananda is on the news alot.






I use to be against abortion alot untill something horrible happened to one of my freinds that changed me forever. I usally tell this story to abortion supporters but its to horrifying and unbeliveable to put on these boards plus your a bit to young Giea. I had no idea you were 12 until Silver pointed it out in the halloween thread and I checked your profile. I thought you were at least in your 20's just from the way you write. http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif

[Lord Draud]

heh i think that abortion is a right that every human has a right to mid you i don't belive in god, but even if i did do you know how many times god ordered his followers to "rip there children from there bellies", the thing is you can use the bible to support ANYTHING you just have to pick it apart to find the things you want and ignore the rest, mind you no one is forcing you to get an abortion its all up to you and how you feel but in the words of metallica "don't tread on me" meaning don't tell me what to do if its up to me

ok now about downloading i love it i downloaded every metalica album and over 5 gigs of other crap and i say thank god i live in canada cause if i lived in the us i would be sued so fast

[Kilu]

I thought you were at least in your 20's just from the way you write.
I guess you didn't see Giea much when he came to these boards then :D If you did, it would have been obvious how old he is :dance:

[Astrolounge]

Its just that the more I read about Canada the more it seems like the land of the free.I personally think the land of the free is Mexico, they have a really great thing down there called NO LAWS AT ALL...

Anyway, as to how my life is going, well I’m glad you asked.

First off my computer got a GRANDIOS virus last month so I had to reboot my computer and, interestingly enough, when it started again, it was running in safe mode, no big deal. Restart… annnnd safe mode… Hmmm, I knew this would take all of my cunning and skill… …In MS-DOS. (If you are wondering I have NO skill with DOS) After poking around a bit in the system I found the error and managed to correct it through what was likely a fluke. (And with my computer learned friend John’s help) So then I restart my computer with joy, and… …nothing happened… Wait no not nothing, a C prompt. Ok, I remember those…

C>WIN
Bad command or file name.
C>Win
Bad command or file name.
C>?WTF? How can “Win” be a bad file name? Answer me dammit!
Bad command or file name.
C>win
Bad command or file name.
WTF!
Restart.

But after awhile I found the source of the problem, “System ‘WINDOWS98’ no longer exists. Have a nice day.” (At this point my well known eye twitch made its appearance.) So my computer was rebooted and recovered once more.

C>win
Come on, come on, please be user friendly this one time…
Starting windows 98
Hurazpoof!

But my hurazpoof was short lived. 16 colours. Huh? 16 Colours? Well at least that’s something I know how to fix. Control panel, Setup, Colours… Choose between; 2 colours or 16 colours… “Uh, John?” so at John’s advice the computer was sent to be repaired. And joy was had by all. And A LOT of money was had by Zoomy Computers.

Sorry to have wasted so mush of you time…

[Pezito]

Bad luck, Astrolounge. :wonder:

Life is good (once more ^^)... I've just received a packing from Japan full of goodies I had ordered from JBox.com (http://www.jbox.com) ! Lots of japanese candies that I intend to give to my friends as Christmas presents, a Domo-kun hoodie I'm already fond of (wearing it right now), a gorgeous Totoro wall clock (a bit expensive but I always wanted to get something like this, ever since I fell in love with Miyazaki's works :p )... I really like this online shop, they have lots of cool stuff and the service is good. Shipping fees are high, but it's the same with every online shop selling to/from foreign countries (alas !). :search:

And tomorrow, I will - at last - subscribe to the driving-school and start getting my driving license ! Better late than never. ^^

[jetblue]

What a cool site Pezito. They have Daruma's. Ive been looking eveywhere for Daruma's. They dont have Daruma's in the japanese district of chicago. But what I must get is that luckycat t-shirt. It's hilarioushttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/rofl.gif





Good luck on getting your driver's licence. It is very difficult. I had so many accidents that I swore never to drive in a big city again. Mabey in the country side.

[Giea]

That's an awesome website! Escpecially because I'm now just getting into Mangas, Animes, Comics, Comic Novels. =) Also did you know if you switch JB around you get... Oh never mind :-O

[Astrolounge]

Yes it's very well done.

[jetblue]

i don't belive in god

Im curious Lord Draud. Are you Atheist or do belive in a ancient non-christian god like Bal,Norse,Olympian,Celtic,etc?
If its not to personal to ask.

[Astrolounge]

I think he belives in the all knowing DM.

[Pezito]

I would take that kind of statement as general, as in "I don't believe in any god" (which is my case :p ).

[Yuffie]

I'm back from America. I like your weather, your swimming pools and your theme parks and I wanna go back. :)

So anyway, hello everyone! :D

(I also like your chocolate milkshakes and the cute way you talk in some states although I'm not sure which ones :D)

[jetblue]

Hi Yuffiehttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gifI wondered where you were. Hope the american's did'nt bother you to much.

[Yuffie]

Americans are funny!! :D

It's like they've never seen a ditzy, springy tourist with a Tinkerbell bag singing "I wanna be like you-oo-oo" before! :D

I think I scared one of the wal-mart shop assistants though.

[Kilu]

No you didn't. These two did :)

http://personal.inet.fi/musiikki/mika/wal.jpg

[Giea]

I can't, bare the pain, of WAL*MART!!

[jetblue]

Hey those grey starter sweatpants are exactly what I have on nowhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/smile.gif

A month ago wal-mart and the mayor were argueing on the news because wal-mart wanted to open 4 store's within the city limit's. Wal-mart is owned by republican big buissness men and they would'nt play ball with our democratic mayor. Wal-mart has no union no health care and all the new jobs they will bring to the city would be all minimum wage,part time with no benefits and crazy hours. The mayor wanted them to make it better for the citizens they would be hiring. Wal-mart said no way that the mayor was preventing them from doing what is the american way and stuff like that.
Once you get a republican big buissness in your city they will start to manipulate city hall into bringing other buissness company's and sooner or later they will have there own candidate for mayor with there intrest's at heart. The mayor gave all the available parcels of land big enough for a wal-mart size store to Target superstores. Wich has union for its employes and full-time positions. Plus there owners are democrats.


But what bothers me the most is that when I go to wal-mart in the suburbs the old people at the exit that ask to check your receipt seem to only stop and check African Americans more and let non African Americans go by without checking only telling them have a nice day.

[Giea]

One way to prove Democrats are crazy. =D!

[jetblue]

I was just watching the lunch time news on channel 32 and they said last night around midnight the only republican office ward in the city of chicago was hit with molotov cocktail'shttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/w00t.gif Fire fighters arrived 20 minutes later because they were busy on another call.
Now thats a prime example of chicago politics. Like Al-Capone said play ball or else.

[silverDistortioN]

One way to prove Democrats are crazy. =D!Giea... if you can tell me three differences between the republican and democratic platforms, i promise not to ignore every political comment you try to make.

[Yuffie]

One thing I did notice on holiday is that the majority of people working in Orlando are from Eastern and asian countries and hardly any of them have an American accent. :rofl:

People in Wal*mart tend to be like mega Americans though.

Democratic- Can’t fool all the people all the time.
Republican- Can fool most of the people at election time.

How's that for you Silver?

[Cyrano de Hero]

Well, at least John Kerry won Michigan, but that's hardly a conselation... :(

Wal-Mart's really a scumbag operation in my opinion. Sweat shop labor, screwing the little guy, monopolizing, shady business deals, yep, Wal-Mart's really got a piece of it all. It's really appaling that Wal-Mart is upheld an an example of well-done business...

[Kilu]

Heh, in reply to Cyrano's post... I suggest you guys read this (http://www.livejournal.com/users/ea_spouse/) ; it's amazing (not in a good way, unfortunately) ! :search:

damn... and when i was studying computer science, i aspired to work for them to break into the industry.

...yet another reason why dropping out was such a good idea. ^.~

[Astrolounge]

That's truly brutal...

[jetblue]

I was in the forest preserve this morning because it was foggy and cold the way I like it and I was up a tree looking around and I saw 2 small feral cats playing in a clearing. They were a little bigger than kittens and there fur was dirty. But they were still cute. I called to them but they ran off. I felt sad when I saw themhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/sad.gif
I hope they can survive the winter. When it starts to snow I will leave them some food in the spot where I saw them.




I fell of the tree and now my left arm hurts.

[Astrolounge]

Too bad.

Well my life is going well, I wasn't laid off during the slow season so I get to continue with the night shift at the Timber Lodge. And i upgraded my Firefox. :w00t:

[Kilu]

I finally bought a new mouse for my computer. From time to time I have been complaining in the IRC channel that my mouse sucks. Not anymore :) :D Logitech MX310 is a solid mouse I tell ya.

[Astrolounge]

Is it an optical mouse or one with a weel?
Mines one of them fancy ones you can blind LAN opponents with.

Optical with a wheel, 5 buttons which are all configurable to my liking :) And yes, optical mouses are great for blinding people :D

[Pezito]

They could be a great help to find your car's lock in the dark as well, if the wire wasn't so damn short. (T_T)

[jetblue]

Thats a fine looking mouse kilu.
I have the logitech cordless piece of rubbish that eats batteries all the time and has little range.

[silverDistortioN]

They could be a great help to find your car's lock in the dark as well, if the wire wasn't so damn short. (T_T)two words, man... wireless optical!

...i have a regular wireless. i've never used it, though. apparently, it ran out of batteries somehow.

[Giea]

Logitech! That's the one I use!!! How ironic.

[Astrolounge]

By "weel" I ment runs with a ball on the bottom, not one with a scrolling weel. But, tis a fine lookin' mouse you got there.
In my opinion a wireless mouse is useless, I have never seen a need to move mine MORE than 5 feet from my computer at any given time, unless I'm fixing it or something, plus sometimes they have weird response time.
:ponder: Unless mine just sucked... :ponder:

[daniel]

maybe those with wireless mice can play a little game?! yeah i know *sarcasm* they can see how far way they can go with the mouse before they can no longer see what they are doing on the monitor?
Better still game number 2! seeing how far away the mice can be before reception stops lets use air, distance, brick, wood and lead as obstructions hahaha I await the results! :)

[Giea]

My head hurts.

[jetblue]

I'm a lazy lazy man and I thought what a great idea to have a wireless mouse and keyboard so I can lay on my bed while surfing.
I had to get an extra cord to attach to the wireless receiver so can bring it as close as possible to my bed. Its taped to the bottom of the headboard and I keep thinking whats the point.

[Astrolounge]

That sounds like MORE work than just going to your desk.
Get some exercise you plum, that has to be one of the lazist things I have ever heard of.
Do you even get up to bathe, or do you wash yourself with a rag on a stick?
(Just kidding)



But really, LAZY.

[silverDistortioN]

nah, it's not that lazy... me and at least two other people i know use the computer while on our beds. though admittedly, i'm the only thin one. >.>

i make sure to get plenty of exercise. =P
that was just a nice way of calling people fat.

don't tell them i said that, tho... one of them's a girl. >.>

[jetblue]

The only chair I have by the computer is a milk crate. The one that holds 2 gallons of milk. I cant sit on it for long because a certain....body part losses bloodflow and the pain is equal to torture. So I use my bed. And the kitchen chairs tear up the rug.


Half of my day is on the computer and the other half is in the forest preserve. As soon as I figure out how to post picture's Ill show you the herd of deer I play with. About 35 deer with 2 dominant males. As tame as puppie's.
I havent been there since I fell off the tree. My arm still hurts and I cant really grab stuff. Does'nt feel broken.

[Astrolounge]

Well if it's only a milk crate you have I can understand it, but I still think everone could use at LEAST a walk to another room every day.
I would love to see some pic's, I like nature, and cheese.
But that's not really relevent.

[Giea]

I usually take a walk to Circle-K, they gots all meh needs! XD

[Nall]

Life is grand! Right now I'm on my very own big yacht, having drinks with the crew member. I have my laptop with me. sometimes we ge get together and play games on PS2, gamecube, or xbox. we've got a huge 90" plasma screen 8096x4554 (Widescreen) resolution TV! soon we're going to dock at japan and add more to our selection of import video games, and maybe some DVDs and comics, and a Nintendo DS. I already have all the rarest Super Famicom games and famicom games. I'm also going to Squaresoft, and meeting their big staff, including Nobuo Uematsu. =)

[Astrolounge]

And then, a vending machine fell on him.

[Nall]

Before I died I cast Life3 on myself. I was so rich(And still am) I could actually buy real life Final Fantasy spells. Now I'm gonna sue the company of that vending machine

[Giea]

*Tears off Nall's credit card hand* =D *then walks away not knowing how he got on the yacht so fast.*

[Locke]

Life is grand. I got my computer fixed, and got a crash course in quantum physics from a buddy on msn last night :D . Long story short, that'd be what's new and exciting with me right now.

[Astrolounge]

The vending machine has no company, it is a rouge vending machine... selling it soda to the highest bidder, it is stealthy, like the wind... It cannot be sued... for no one knows it's creator...

First there was nothing... ...Then there was Life...
...Umm...
...then life decided it wanted it's choice of Sprite, Cola, or Crush apparently......

...Crazy? Maybe I'm the only one who's not crazy...
...I mean you have to be a little crazy to survive...

The Vendenator!

[Nall]

*grows a new hand...and cancels his credit card that was appearently on his hand* I wonder why I got that. debit card works fine. I won't get billed :P. Now...since the vending machine has no company. there's no problem if I disasemble it and take the money. =)

[Astrolounge]

...Good like finding it... For the Vendenator is the shadow of eternity...
The light at the end of the tunnel, the end of time and space...
The... ...umm... dispenser of refreshment.
Hey, laugh all you want. I already have a five book deal with TSR.
(Kidding)
Man I could do this for god knows how long.
Also, sorry all of the vending machine's money is hidden overseas.

[Nall]

well, obviously the stupid thing found me and fell on me :(
oh well, I'll cast life3 as many times as I can. ^.^

[Astrolounge]

Yes it found you, landed on you, it got up and left.
I don't understand what's so difficult about this.
And the Vendenator does not fall to kill, only to crush the legs of those who try to flee when they are obviously parched.
(I don't know why I think this so funny, but I do.)

[jetblue]

That's it Im never watching news again. I was watching the 9:00 news on fox 32 to find out about the weather and they show a tape of some soldiers killing wounded in a fallugha mosque.
To kill a man on his home ground and his place of worship is horrible.
Did anyone else see that on the new's? The way the soldier's were talking.
If your gonna kill some one then just kill them,dont talk and make fun.
And I bet there gonna spin this around and pin medals on those soldier's.

From now on untill the next election Im watching the weather channel and sport center on espn.






May the gods bless those who protect there homes and land from foreign invaders and aries grant them swift victory.

[Astrolounge]

I don't approve the U.S. army's involvement in any other country's affairs at all.
Iraq was simply a bad idea, Afganastan is a hopeless venture...
Leave the world alone.
Oh, and on the subject of stupidity, when you are at war,
DON'T BOMB YOUR F***ING ALLIES!

[silverDistortioN]

i blindly support every war the US chooses to participate in just because it PISSES OFF CANADIANS.

[Astrolounge]

I wouldn't say pisses off.
But it's evil to bomb fellow soldiers and shoot civillians.

[silverDistortioN]

if you think it's *evil*, then it must piss you off to at least some degree.
because friendly fire and civilian casualties are inevitable in every instance ofmodern warfare.

(the test for evilness lies with intent.)

[Astrolounge]

I hate them, but I am not screaming or anything. That kind of thing simply goes against my morals. Most people are pathologically opposed to killing one another.

Good and evil is just words, you can't apply a test for them. Both sides of a war belive the other to be "Evil." It's an expression of how you personally feel.

[silverDistortioN]

Most people are pathologically opposed to killing one another.this is false. the way you word it just makes it seem otherwise.

Good and evil is just words, you can't apply a test for them.my point was that friendly fire isn't in and of itself evil. not that i think it's acceptable or anything... but if i were to extend your logic, it would seem like a person who survived a fatal car accident would instantly become hellbound.

[Astrolounge]

I know friendly fire is accidental, I was responding to jetblue's post on soldiers killing wounded and making jokes about it. And I question if the bombing of allied troops was even an accident...
Also if someone survived a FATAL car accident, then, being that they are some type of resurecting demon creature, yes, hellbound.

As to the killing thing, look at the american revolution. Most of the weapons recovered were still loaded, and bullets had been found miles away, shot into the air or left in the gun 90% of the time. That's what the point of the army is, to overcome that "do not kill" part of the mind. Those who don't mind killing others are mentaly altered, or have been desensitized in some other way. This HAS been proven.

My point is the army should not take lives needlessly like that.

[silverDistortioN]

Also if someone survived a FATAL car accident, then, being that they are some type of resurecting demon creature, yes, hellbound.the implication there was that if a person were to survive a fatal car accident, then someone else would have had to die in it. i'm not sure if you were saying that to point out an inconsistency, or if you were just bein' funny, but i thought i'd mention it just in case.

That's what the point of the army is, to overcome that "do not kill" part of the mind. Those who don't mind killing others are mentaly altered, or have been desensitized in some other way. This HAS been proven.yes, people can be desensitized. i have no doubt of that. however, the "do not kill" part of the mind is a learned behavior. for the sake of argument, i'm just going to classify it into general violence because violence is often the cause of killing people, especially in times of war.

so... supposing people are naturally peaceful, as opposed to peaceful because they were taught that peace is good, wouldn't it be logical that children would be less likely fight? i don't know, maybe i'm wrong... but from personal experience, i have never seen two adults actually hit each other in person.

but... that's besides the point. your original statement was "most people are [psychologically] opposed to killing"... if this were true, why would we EVER have war? why would canadian government officials, and by extension, the people of canada, of whom the majority of eligible voters in fact vote, choose to ally with the united states?

anyway... i contend that most people agree that MURDER is wrong, yet, at the same time, most people also believe that killing is acceptable in certain cases.

[M.H.A.Q.S.]

My life is happy and wise. Murder is not acceptable in any case. Killing, however, is a different case. Many religions allow it for many reasons.

The army or any government has no right to take innocen civilain lives whatsoever the case.

[Yuffie]

I just stubbed my toe on the curb *whimper* :(

[Giea]

Maybe the curb was put there on purp... never mind :-D.

[Astrolounge]

Yes, I was making a joke.

*takes a deep breath.*

We have war, so that people in power can highten that power, or in Bush's case, to get re-elected. (And America has allies, because they have a huge army and other country's are trying to stay in it's good graces.)

Adults frequently hit each other. But most are taught by society to bottle up their feelings and not to react, People are NOT naturally peaceful, they simply do not truly WANT to kill when they are in their right mind. (ie: Not enraged, or filled with Zelot-isim)

Murder is unacceprable, but killing for food, though many don't approve, or to defend those with whom you form social links with, CAN neccecary for survival.

Religion allows killing because they are steadfast in their belief that they are right, and that some all-mighty force, whom they must obey, has decided that some group of people, innocent or not, deserve death. (I direct you to the crusades as a reference.)

(If you can't tell, I am not particularly religious.)
Thanks Buzz, killing innocents and cililians is, and should always be, immoral.

I am not saying war is always needless, (there are truly cruel people in the world.) My point is that it SHOULDN'T be needed.

PS: Since we are about five clicks south of off topic, let us end this quarrel.
My life is going well, as I have done most of my holiday shopping already.

*Loud gasp for breath.*

[silverDistortioN]

so you mean... in a perfect world there would be no need for war?! =o
your insight never ceases to astound me. =)

and by the way, discussions shouldn't suddenly be ended for the mere fact that you realize you're off topic. that's just not how things work around here. if you want to drop something, stop talking about it.

[Astrolounge]

Yes, Sort of what I ment.
I decided to stop debateing because I realized we have widely differen't opinions and that we would start to repeat ourselves soon, into what any debate usually ends up, a shouting match.

PS: My point was more that nobody supposedly wants to go to war, but we still do.

[silverDistortioN]

(i'd recommend taking this to http://rpgn.lintbox.net/forums/showthread.php?t=163, but i don't really have anything else to say. i suppose you could question where the boundary for a just war lies.)

[jetblue]

(to change subject)


I do not have to cook or help cook this year for thanksgiving. I am so happy.
Last year I did almost everything because of last minute changes and it was almost cancelled. This time all the food is already bought and everyone that is cooking has taken the time off from work in advance.
This year wil be more joyful because one of my sister's who was.....kind of banned,will be joining us.
Hopefully all will go well.

[Astrolounge]

Why was your sister "kind of banned?"

[jetblue]

My dad banned her years ago because she had joined one of the many cult's that are here in chicago. She was taking the younger family member's to these so called outings even after she was forbbiden to.
She's at a crossroad's now because her job in the cult was to be a nanny for one of the leader's. No pay off course and she did this for many year's untill this summer the leader's of the cult arranged a partner for her with the purpose of marriage. She said no so they kicked her out of the house and told her to go into the world to preach. She came to us in a bad state,she was starving(lost alot of weight)and almost hysterical, so we opened our arms. Mabey she'll leave the cult forever now.

Cults have hit my family hard on both side's. My dad's youngest brother,has also joined one of the cult's in the north-west and has turned my dad's family home into a church. My other uncle's are fighting this.

Cult's have brought my family to the brink of war.
I will not name these cult's as not to offend anyone.

[Astrolounge]

That is awful.
Don't worry about ridiculing cults, they aren't real religions, (not that I have ever seen much differince) and only rarely have substantial armies. Try not to start a block war though.

[Locke]

Why do people who are slow drivers drive? Why do stupid people breathe? Sorry, just seems to me like there's been too many stupid annoying people around me in the last couple of days. Besides them life is fine, I guess.

[Astrolounge]

The real question is why won't slow ass drivers let anyone PASS them?

[Locke]

I concur. And why do they always seem to speed up just when a passing lane comes up? I just don't understand those types of people.

[Astrolounge]

I would also like to know why, whenever I am rideing in a car with someone, anyone going slower than them is an idiot, and any going faster than them is a maniac?
I have come to the conclusion that everyone is a bad driver. No exceptions. There is always SOMETHING your an ass about. I for one sometimes do the Califonian Signal.
(That means you don't signal a turn until your already mid-way through it. At a point where it isn't even neccecary to bother anymore.)

[jetblue]

A sad night.http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/cry.gif A pet fish that I had for 6 year's that has survived so much and escaped the fire from last year has died.
She layed a batch of egg's and I guess the strain was to much for her.
I never named her. I took her from this kid that won her in a carnival. He was going to feed her to his cat.
11 inch long shiny blue gold fish or something. Never found out her species.
As tame as a puppy.










May poseidon accept her in my name.

Anyway, all is well with the world.
Well, the part of it I occupy at least.
I have a new DVD player, and my computer hasn't broken down this week, (Believe me, that's a documented miracle) and nobody in my family has died this year, so far...

[Charon]

As tame as a puppy. Goldfish generally are. :)

[jetblue]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I will put a plate of food aside for my freinds at RPGamers.

[Astrolounge]

Mmmm... Turkey...
I am happy because my sister returns from Fiji today.
Wait, no, not happy, what's the word? Sour, Yes that's it.
If only she would stay there for more that a few weeks.
*Sigh* Ahh well.

[Lord Draud]

its tobad that none oft he eggs will hatch and then you would have many little fishys to rmember her by as for what new in my unlife nothing much a let go a few zombies to terroize the local town ( that is were they all come from)

[jetblue]

The egg's die within hours if they are not fertilized by the same species. I think she was a asian big head fish or something. There illegal now in this state.
I found a nice burial spot for her in the woods. Most of the tree's here are sycamore's,oak's and maple's and I found a tree deep in the preserve that had brilliant yellow leaves. All the other tree leave's were brown so the yellow stood out. Circleing the tree in a nice pattern. I buried her there deep and place a rock on top so scavs wont get to her.

When I was putting the aquarium away I noticed something weird. There was only one filter cartridge left and the food was almost finished. If she had lived I would of replenished the filter and food stock in a week. I alway's buy in bulk.

[Astrolounge]

My sister is back from fiji, and bearing stacks of photo's and a wooden turtle carving she gave to me, which is pretty cool.
Now lets all have a moment of scilence for jetblues fish.
*Time passes quietly.*

PS: What's a scav? Some type of animal?

[Lord Draud]

scavangers you know they eat the dead like cats and wolfs and what not

[Astrolounge]

Sounds like the scourge of you.

Anyhoo, All is well with me currently. :cheers:

[Locke]

I have now discovered that apparently me and 2 other people eat about 200 dollars worth of groceries in a weekend. :p My parents left for Nova Scotia to visit my grandparents, and thus there was no food left in the house when they returned :D . Life is great, and apparently I'm well fed.

[Astrolounge]

*Screaming*
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!
*Starts breaking random nearby objects*
DAMN YOU HOCKEY LOCK!
ASTRO MAD! ASTRO SMASH!
GET REVENGE ON WORLD!



*Long pause*



I'm sorry, but I had to let that out at some point. It's REALLY bugging me.
I mean I can watch forigen hockey and stuff... But I would like to be able to understand what their saying.

Ah well, all is good in the other aspects of my life for now.

[Locke]

I most definently concur. Why is there no hockey.... why? http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/bawl.gif . Besides that, all is well.

[Mithrandir]

You can watch semi-pro hockey....or football.

I preferwatching football on tv, specially monday night ...gotta order my Domino's PIzza with that!

[Astrolounge]

Not a football fan, sorry. But I do watch that which is less than pro, and forgien hockey,
But it's just not the same.

Nice to hear from you again though.

[Zeugma 440]

This year's definitely not like last year... Dozens of projects to achieve for school, no time left to play games, a compulsory sport which I suck at...

Hopefully, personal hobbies are not dead :) I guess that if they were, I'd better rethink my way of living :wonder: I'm somehow curious to see what future will look like...

[Mithrandir]

I'm almost at the end of the semester. I leave on december 15 for El Salvador. I'm going to see my family.


For now, I have to study, I still have three exams to do but the end is coming soon!

[jetblue]

I must buy a Crystal X-Box with Xecuter Mod-Chip installed with 30 Emulaters on the hard drive.
Once I saw a picture I heard it call to me.
They have one at Kanection.co.uk for 179 pounds.
Does any one know of a local North American seller?

c:\documentsandsettings\mydocuments\mypictures\ava tars\0400076_L_000.jpg




This will be my new goal. I must work and raise money any way I can.
*starts to go outside and collect cans*


!!!!!!!!!!!HAPPY HANUKKA!!!!!!!!!!

[Astrolounge]

I am royaly pissed off right now...
I bought "Neverwinter Nights Platnium."
I don't feel I need to elaborate why I'm mad.

Actually I guess I do.

This game runs of some new-fangled thingamajigger DVD rom, Now I have never even heard of these being used in a computer, I thought they were expressly for movies.
Now, my computer (What with being crap and all) cannot even recognize that there is a disk in the drive at all...

[jetblue]

That sucks.
Were you able to return the game?
I heard Half Life 2 is a dvd game also. Im reluctant to buy because I think my computer wont run it.

[Astrolounge]

I bought it yesterday, and its a two hour drive to Vancouver's Future Shop where I bought it, so i don't know if I can return it yet.
I am bringing a bat in case they need a healthy implied threat to get them going though.

[Yuffie]

Life's good, I'm wrapping presents, it's nearly christmas and I'm on a school trip to see Blood Brothers on Thursday. Then again I consider life one big party anyway! :D


But it's still really good. :)

[Yuffie]

Dunno if this is a double post or not but frankly I don't care just now. I'm in battle mode!

Admittedly I don't normally give a damn what my sister does or what goes on but she's going to the police tomorrow because of her ex.

The story is she was going out with him then went out with another guy behind his back. Now she dumped him and is with the other guy (it was an ugly confrontation).

Anyway, recently the dumpee has been hanging around outside her work and threw in a big box today wrapped in xmas paper and yelled "Happy F***ing Christmas!", she opened it and it was full of dirt and had on the side "Rest in Peace" and stuff like slut all over it and under all that was her previous pet.

Since then he's also stolen the battery from her car and cut the wire to start it (he's a mechanic).

So it could have been worse like if he'd cut the break cable, but I can't help thinking which of them is right? She cheated on him but he's done a lot since then so where will it all end?

I doubt the police will do anything, there's no justice in this country. The policeman are just as crooked as the criminals.

So don't mess with me right now. :)

[jetblue]

Thats very serious Yuffie. When my sisters were still living with us when I was younger there would be all kinds of angry ex boyfreinds coming over starting stuff and my dad and brothers would get into it and police were called many times.
There's no restraining order that she could get? Because that present will definately qualify her for one. No judge could ignore that.
Police documentation of every incident is a must no matter how small. You could build a case on the amount of incident reports alone.

But Im afraid it may last for years. Just last weekend one of my brothers ex girlfreinds from 2 years ago came over to talk to my mom. She is a nut. We did'nt open the door. We dont know how she found our address because we only been here a year.

[Astrolounge]

Cheating on him was harsh sure... But not enough to merit that kind of shit.
If you want to get even with someone over a thing like that,
go for something a little more psychological.

Anyway, that definetly has police merit if she can actually prove he did any of it, which I don't think should be that hard.

[Yuffie]

Or we could just go and smash up his car, Vice City style! :D

Or maybe your approach is better.

One of my exes was weird, near the end of our relationship it went a bit weird because he was very possessive. He'd time how long I took to reply on msn to see if I talked to anyone else. O.o

I remember once he cut up his wrists and sent photos to my friends to warn them to stay away from us, being my friends they sent them to me and he was so out of there! :p

But some of my friends had a go at him for a while so he kept saying he'd call the police on me for harassment. :confused:

He was nuts. :)

But now he's gone so I don't give a damn! :D

[Kilu]

but I can't help thinking which of them is right?
Neither.

Just a week or so ago I heard this story from a friend. Her friend had had a relationship with some guy a year or so ago, something came up, and she said that he would break up with the guy. The guy said that if she'd do that, he'd kill himself. Well, eventually they broke up, and less then week later the guy hanged (unless my memory fails me) himself and left some sort of a suicide note explaining that the break up was too hard, yada yada.

I mean jeez, it's not the end of the world if someone dumps you. Get over it. Shit, I wonder if she feels horrible because of this? Also, it is of course possible that one of the reason why the guy ended himself was to make the other person to feel horrible.

The point of this story was that what's with the people who can't handle break ups? Basing ones life around something as fragile as a teenager/young adults relationship is one of the more stupid things a young person can do. Also, clinging on to it even after the other side of the relationship has given up is just... weak. Getting burned is part of life.

If you can't handle it, don't get involved. Go live in the woods as hermit, safer that way?

[Yuffie]

Sounds like the story of my ex except as far as I know he didn't actually do it. :confused:

But I'll be living in London by the end of next year with all things being well. :D

[Kilu]

Tess, you need to find time to play some Samurai War dammit.

Also to clarify, I'm not entirely sure about the hanging part. He might had jumped of the bridge or slit his throat or something. For some reason or another my memory is rather shaky at that part.

[jetblue]

I felt like those guy's 2 years ago when my ex girlfreind,that I had been going with for 2 years,dumped me for my best freind. My heart was broken twice.
It was the ultimate betrayal. The pain was almost unbearable.
But revenge in some way was useless. It would'nt make me feel beter. The only thing that could heal in some way was to find a new girlfreind.
Like my mom say's,"UNA CLAVO SACALA OTRO CLAVO"
Translation: one nail drives out the another.









I heard she's pregnant with his child and there planning to get married next year. May the gods bless them.

[Astrolounge]

With hordes of locusts and water of blood?

For revenge tactics, try to push them to the brink of insanity.
But only if they REALLY deserve it. Not something wussy like breaking your heart.
If they try to slaughter your family for instance.

[Yuffie]

Actually Kilu I'm on a GTA binge lately. :rofl:

It's quite satisying being able to get away with it all. :D

[Kilu]

But you need to play Samurai War. You MUST! *does a Jedi mind trick*

[jetblue]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Khannnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!


Supernova is dead.


And sonicfreak got busted by the MPAA and is dead


I hope SN keeps there exeem program running.


I just updated my BLM and the few torrents I got still running are making my protowall go off like crazy,Turner broadcasting,hollywood interactive,schlund,net nation,fake file,fake file 4,fake file viacom,web studio,Iana-private use,and a lot more. More hits than ever before.
Im shutting down my torrents for a while.


Dammit!!!! Demonoid just died. I was in good standing with them.


Im gonna go huddle in the corner and cry for a while.http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/sad.gif

[Yuffie]

My life's normal but it's getting increasingly annoying how my director consider's us as no more than walking, talking props and then doesn't listen to anything we say. She says no thankyous and she charges us for eating the biscuits she brings in at the interval. Yet she didn't pay or even thank us for the brand new £1000 (had we got some special person to install it) lighting bar we installed. She's like a mini Hitler!

To follow that she's increasingly patronising, especially to people under 18 because she doesn't seem to understand that times are changing and we're probably more in touch with life now than she is. Annoying woman. Anyway, rant over and it's nearly Christmas!!!! :D

[Elhaym van Houten]

Life's getting better - I think I'm over the worst part of my depression.

Yay, and it's Christmas soon ^^
only two days more with work, and then a long weekend...great :)

[Kilu]

My life is boring. Eventhough it's pretty much on track, moving on, it's sort of not the track I would like it to be. And right now there is little that I can do to change that. Maybe something will come up when the spring comes. Though I still have to decide what I will start educating myself with :ponder: Oh well, it will come to me when it comes to me.

[Yuffie]

Life's slow but steady.

Done all the christmassy stuff like wrapping presents and giving out cards (so far managed to avoid mistletoe though :D)

Now I'm in the dull part of going to work when I should be on college holiday and not getting paid as much as I'd like to be yelled at and abused. :p
Can't blame people for hating me for doing my job though, I probably would too. ;)

[Zeugma 440]

Elhaym> Depression ?! Oh my ! :( I hope you'll quickly forget about this thing and appreciate the challenges of everyday's life again :D Ganbatte ! :bouncy:

As for me, I'm still working on computer-related stuff, even during holidays. The difference is that I now have time to play and to watch a LOT of anime :spin:

For those who are interested in what I do when I'm not on technical stuff, the teaser to my next AMV has been put online (http://zeugmaonline.sytes.net/index.php?section=5) just before my holidays :shades:

[jetblue]

This is the baby Im after:shut off protowall to veiw:

http://store.x2tpro.com/images/crystalxbox.gif
pre modded costs $285
with 200 gb HD with a ton of emulators and games + $125
Total $410

Thats the cheapest I could find it. I could kit it and mabey knock off 100.
I had $105 put away for it but gamestop was taking pre-orders on RE4 for $59.99 and get some collectors crap with it. So all I got left is $45.

I have learned much about x-box over the last few weeks. Like It can read dvd-rw and cd-rw wich will save me a lot on discs. Also a secondary dvd drive can be added of any brand to make reading of rw better and if your original laser is faulty. And lots of stuff can be done with the HD. Such as ripping your games,emu,etc.
There's still not a lot of games Im intrested in but I like to tinker and this looks like the ultimate tinker challenge. Plus I would love to play neo-geo cd,3do,amiga,n64 games on it.

I heard soon they might play game cube games on it. But I dont think it will be necessary anymore now that the gamecube viper modchip is here.
Im gonna wait for the viper chip to lower in price and start to keep my eye open on sales of mini dvd-r.

life is bitc**nhttp://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Yuffie]

Life is grand! :D

No more work until January, no more college until January, only 20 minutes until Christmas (by my calendar), I'm seeing phantom of the opera in London in a few days, we've bought some christmas crackers (oh yeah), I've decorated my room in a nice tacky way, my sister's moved out, I'm going bowling and I've got disney princesses wrapping paper.

This is gonna be the best christmas ever! :D

:pirate: <-- Just imagine it's a santa hat.

[Ephraim]

only 20 minutes until Christmas (by my calendar)
What kind of calendar is that? http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/confused.gif It's still the 23rd here, which means it couldn't be more than the 24th anywhere else.

[FlashFirer]

I'm feeling so happy cuz I have a puppy!!!^^ ^^ ^^
Yesterday I stepped on her poop by accident and this happiness went away -.-'
But now it is back^^

[Kilu]

What kind of calendar is that? http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/confused.gif It's still the 23rd here, which means it couldn't be more than the 24th anywhere else.
Well, it's the cultural differences I bet. In Finland for example it's more common to handout the gifts sometime on 24th, rather than finding them under the christmas tree in the morning of 25th (or something). And to lot of people the christmas is when they get the presents, so for example, today it's Christmas for me, as it's 24th :D

[Yuffie]

Um...actually it's just wishful thinking. :D

Only 10 minutes to go! :D
But it is the 24th here by the way.

[FlashFirer]

Merry xmas guys!
Today's 24 here...tonight I'll have to stay 3 hours with lots of old people in the dinner table talking about the year...-_-'

Well, that's not worse than my grand-grandfather's 50 years of marriage party though -_____-'

[Giea]

Merry xmas guys!

*Ahem* I think you mean Christmas Eve =P hehe I also have a family party tonight too.. hehe have fun!! =)

[FlashFirer]

I'm having one now O_O
Well, cannot avoid THAT...looks like I'll have to endure another useless talk. -_-'

[Astrolounge]

I have a new computer!
It doesn't suck!
And I can FINALLY play Neverwinter Nights Platnium!
So I am as happy as happy can possibly get.

PS: The new video card came with a free game, "Hitman; Contracts"
Is it worth the effort of installing it?

[FlashFirer]

Dunno...well, try it.

[Yuffie]

I'm gonna join the circus!!!! :D

Got all my extra presents from my other family and one of them was an experience day of my choice. :p

They had things like flying activities, water stuff, relaxation days, driving days etc.

I've decided on a course on circus skills for a day. I'll be taught trapeze skills, juggling, acrobatics and acrobalance (whatever that is). :D

Can't wait. :p

EDIT!!!

I forgot something! :D

I went bowling yesterday with my entire family and I won the first game...wait for it...without those barrier things up. Oh yeah. :cool:

Which is an achievement for me because I normally never win anything and I got strikes. :D

Came 2nd in the 2nd game though. But both times I beat my dad which is a good thing. :D

Then we had a meal at the bowling alley and they had these excellent sprung loaded party popper things!!! :D

We then discovered we could (with a few adjustments) rig them to fire again with ammo of our choice. :evilgrin:

The food wasn't too great so we fired that! Then we hit one of the reception staff with a piece of tomato so we acted innocent.

[FlashFirer]

Congratulations!^^
OH MAN, I just got a program that when opened tells all your MSN contacts that you are gay...

[Yuffie]

Tee hee hee. You're gay!

*is easily amused by such childish antics* :)

[Astrolounge]

I've decided on a course on circus skills for a day. I'll be taught trapeze skills, juggling, acrobatics and acrobalance (whatever that is). :D Acrobalance is titrope walking if I'm not mistaken, which I likely am...


Then we had a meal at the bowling alley and they had these excellent sprung loaded party popper things!!! :D I think I have some of those in my closet somewhere.
I should find those...

[jetblue]

I would of picked the circus one also. I cant stand the clowns though. They scare me. Even bozo sends chills up my spine.



Dont you love the new computer smell Astrolounge? Make sure you get some good security. Anti-p2p/fire walls and virus/adware finder and remover. I was on this one site for a second and boom,adware. Its almost impossible to avoid.





(if anyone wants a Gmail account PM me with your e-mail and Ill send you one. Got 2 invites left.)

[Yuffie]

I WENT TO SEE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA YESTERDAY!!!!

It was really totally groovy and now I've found the CD again that's going round in my head. :D

Unfortunately a cold is also going round in my head so my singing leaves quite a bit to be desired. >.<

Oh wait high note! :D

aaaahhhaaahhhAAAAHHHHaaahhhaaahhhhAAAAHHHAAAAAAAAA AAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've also bought the Disney Aladdin 4 disk box set. :D

[Astrolounge]

Dont you love the new computer smell Astrolounge? Make sure you get some good security. Anti-p2p/fire walls and virus/adware finder and remover. I was on this one site for a second and boom,adware. Its almost impossible to avoid.
You mean the smell of melting seleant and what your sure is burning plastic?
Yeah, Best smell there is.

PS: Could you recomend any that might, you know... Work?

[jetblue]

I have tried alot of diffrent apps but the ones that work good with my pc are Mcafee Virus Scan Home Edition. Removes trojans and other virus. It updates good and it alerts and stops you when your downloading a virus laden file or a virus is trying to enter through a site.
Its not that good for removeing ad/mal ware so I recommend Ad-Aware SE and Ad-Alert SE. It also updates well and stops and alerts when something is trying to change a registery key.
I also have on the side Panda Titanium Antivirus,also good.
For antip2p of course ProtoWall. It also stops you from entering trojan infested spyware sites as well as block the pesky corporate/goverment evil forces from peeking at your files. It is difficult to install. It took me 2 weeks and pestering the PW forums to get it working. Plus you have to install the Block List Manager(BLM) to update your PW block file every week. But its worth it. Its amazing how much it blocks.
PeerGuardian is also good and very easy to install. But seems not to block that much.
And to remove all your taces through illegal sites that are now illegal,the best internet eraser is Evidence Eliminator. It erases all and gives you a clean PC. Also Trace Remover is good but doesnt do a deep erasure. Good for everday use and EE for every month or 2.
Firewalls I cannot use because they clash with everything else causing incredible lag. If I wasnt downloading so much then I would use firewalls.

This is a long post.
What OS are you using,windows XP?
Is your file system NTFS or fat 32?

[tanisthalon]

http://www.rpgamers.info/images/smilies/wave.gif For my PC I use:
Adaware - AdAware SE (free) & Spybot Search and Destroy (Free)
Firewall - ZoneAlarm (Free) & PrevX (Free)
Anti Virus - Avast Anti-Virus (Free), AVG 7 (Free) & Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal 5 (££££)

Of these my faves are AdAware SE (Great allround but doesnt cover the same things as Spybot), PrevX (Excellent, stops Fishers etc. Although a secondary firewall is needed) and Kaspersky (As I have never had a problem with it). Most programs need a secondary as they generally cover things the first doesnt. There are some good free programs out there, and the vast majority have auto-update as a feature :).

I recommend you try those I use that you can and still try a few others. A lot comes to your own personal feel with them. Although you do get free virus protection programs, they generally dont have as much protection par say as there cash counterparts/equivellents. But that said both Avast and AVG are very commendable and highly rated for that.

*Avast isnt a big fan of other anti-virus programs on the same machine, but worth a look at. I used it until I got Kaspersky, and before Avast I used to use AVG. I put AVG back on a while a go (works fine with other anti-virus programs on the pc) and its improved a bit since 6. Of the two free anti-virus programs its up to you.

[Kilu]

I'm using
Ad-Aware SE, Spyware Blaster (deals with active X shit so much better than spybot sd does) and Spybot Search & Destroy for adware and junk like that.
For firewall and antivirus I use EZ Armor. Some computer associates thing. All of these are free for me. No hacks or cracks.

And I have no issues. And then again, I also use Firefox, better security than IE will ever have. It helps a lot.

[Astrolounge]

The thing came with XP, and Norton Antivirus.
I don't know much about it.

[jetblue]

XP is good. It will come in handy later. Norton is good.











If you want any of the programs I mentioned,let me know and Ill *cough*hook you up.
EE and mcafee are pretty expensive.

[Zeugma 440]

ZoneAlarm requires too much CPU and sucks when used with several other softwares (Azureus, GuildFTP...). I recommend Sygate Personal Firewall (free). A friend of mine tested 6 free firewalls on his comp and finally chose this one :D I let you do the test yourself...

As for life, I'm going back to my flat today, leaving my parents' house for a long time. Living my own way of life for five months has changed my behaviour and habits on several things, and going back home for holidays has revealed these changes. Now I feel uneasy at my parents' and I want to return where I live :p

Life's surprising sometimes.... ;)

[tanisthalon]

I am going to have a look at Sygate Personal Firewall, thanks for the recommendation. I dont have a problem with the CPU usage of ZoneAlarm, for thoughs of you who do have such problems, maybe look at using CachemanXP or some similar RAM Recovery Tool :).

[Astrolounge]

Evidence Eliminator looks like something I would want.
I had mcafee on my old comp... and I dont really like it.

[FlashFirer]

Worse than having stupid ad-blockers on your PC is having spyware that increases rthe quantity of ads....'-_-'

[Yuffie]

Just a short note. I'm back at school soon. That sucks. :(

Also I've sent off my application for that circus course thing! :D

And I've sent off my application for an audition to the National Youth Theatre, it looks good on my CV if I get in. ;)

[Yuffie]

I got the parcel with the details of my circus thing today! :D

Unfortunately it says that spectators aren't welcome. :(

I don't understand it, the kit includes a free single use camera but there'll be no one to take any photos. O.o

But I'll have a chat over the phone and see what I can do about it. ;)

In other news I'm back at college today. :(

[jetblue]

Is it a circus camp or a real circus?
If it was a real circus I would never come back. I would be a animal trainer.










There's a sad story by one of these cemetarys that has tombstones in the shape of elephants. There was a circus train that was passing 80 years ago and it derailed and caught fire. The elephants were said to have gone into the burning wreakage to save there trainers and others. They got so badly burned that they died and were buried in the cemetary. Theres some stories on the web about them,they say diffrent accounts that they are the graves of republicans. But all the older chicagoians know this train story. I counted 20 elephant gravestones.

[Yuffie]

It takes place at the UKs largest and best equipped circus training centre in the UK. :p

[Astrolounge]

How's life for Astrolounge? Lets peek in on him working at his desk.
*Shows a camer-like angle moving up a flight of stairs into a room where Astrolounge is seen in neer tears and with his head in one arm and his other hand pounding the table*
*Notices people looking at him, and immidiatly looks happy*
It's great everyone...
(Awkward pause)
It's great.

Now leave me alone.

[Yuffie]

Life's cool because I always like my life which I figure is the best way to look at it in order to enjoy my life! :D

Had the photocall from the local newspaper for the pantomime last Wednesday (I know I'm a little late) which was very fun. If the photos aren't hideous I'll post them. If they are you'll just have to come to the UK and watch the show instead. :)

Got the technical rehearsal tomorrow which should be interesting considering neither the lighting guy or the sound guy can make it. :p

Oh yeah and my own personal achievement from my crappy job! :D

I did 30 surveys in 5 hours today and my supervisor said well done which means she's acknowledged my existence. :)

[FlashFirer]

Just came back from a Resort Hotel...
...and it TOTALLY RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^^
Though 3 of 5 days were rainy...
=(

[Astrolounge]

You can do lots of things in the rain, like umm... Try to start a fire, or dance and sing, or walk into an embassy and demand to be adressed in thier language while you stand there stareing blankly... Or... um... solitare?

[jetblue]

Shoveling snow...........lots of snow.
My puny arms ache.
My forest is covered. Last year the ranger left bale's of hay for the deer. No more ranger. Might have to buy some.






(if anyone wants a gmail account PM me with your e-mail and il send you one.
I have 4 invites left.)

[Astrolounge]

Ahh, nothing like standing outside at 1:30 in the morning in a T-shirt and jeans in early January to make you feel alive.

Best time of the year. Of course its not that cold out at the moment, only -15 or so.
