'ey! I like my Zarr without tentacles, and with 2 arms, 2 legs, one head and pale complexion, thank you very much!

*goes back to his Winamp's oddball songs*

I like me without tentacles too. If I had tentacles I'd have less self-esteem (into the large negative numbers), but I suppose I could do a helluva lot more.

Well, some people do have tentacle pr0n fetishes....

Meh. I have... eh, let's not get there. Yet.

[let's just say I prefer human[oid]s to squids ]

Always the inevitable "yet," Milanius.

Dread Cthulu! Dread Cthulu!

Cthulu is Zarr! Zarr is Cthulu! Cthulu is a girl?!?!?! Who knew!?>!>!?!?!?

Seriously, how was Ry'leh? Was it cozy in the crushing black oblivion beneath the sea in the city of the dead?

Oh, and tell Tzeentch that eating the world is a bad idea....

OH NOEZ! My deepest, darkest, most Lovecraftian secret is revealed!

No. It royalled sucked. At least the non-Euclidean geometry was nice, for the first five hundred years.

EDIT: Also, TROGDOR!!!!

Anyways, you thinking asking the pseudotwins some of the bands they like would be a good idea?

Greetings from my new home for college! It's been a looong day for me so far, I was up at 8:30 in the morning and it's about 2:30 in the morning now. Currently I'm stuck using a laptop with Windows Vista (it makes things sloooow so far) so I'm stuck using the touchpad as a mouse until I decided to buy an external mouse (which will likely be after I wake up, going to bed shortly).

All's seems well, though I have a lot of boxes I need to get rid of. Toronto looks like a busy place so far, there's certainly a lot of conveniently placed stores/facilities nearby. I gotta go hand in a resume tomorrow, I need to work while I'm going to school in order to pay for rent and tuition and food and whatnot.

Anyways, I should be able to keep in contact with you peeps, got a nice internet connection setup at my residence. Hopefully college homework mixed with time working won't take too much of my time away from here...

Ahem. Those pinkish tentacles were always a dead giveaway.


That is a touchy subject. Might wanna do some recon and contact mutual friends to ask about their preferences first, then go with "so how about that Audioslave, huh, shame they broke up " or something similar.
[dear god, I suck with lines...]

Heylo Malletman! Toronto, as my sis tells me, is a big ole hive, but a very interesting and activity-packed hive.
There is one advice she gave me, from her own experience; watch what concerts are coming up in TO and ALWAYS book your ticket in advance because most of them sell out several months prior to the gig. That is, when you're not studying. Or drinking. Or drinking and studying at the same time. [don't ask ]


Anyway, my folks went for a 15 to 20-day work marathon at the village and I'm left here with craploads of food and few obligations. And it's also cold[er]<3 yeeep, life is moderately decent now.

Oh wow, college sucked. And it was fun. At the same time. For some reason I thought you were older (I mean this ina good way!!). You act older (wiser) here on the forums. Hope it goes well.

Ditch that Vista and put on XP SP2 as soon as you can!:

Don't be so surprised, Blockhead, some present are Mallet's age or below.

And Metal Mallet, when is the clash between Luper and Marthyn going to see the light of day, it's been a week since you estimated today would be the day.......

@Milanius: Yep! I'll certainly keep that in mind. Fortunately for me, most of the bands I like are relatively small or unknown so they play at the small venues around here; hopefully that means it's easier to get tickets to their concerts. I all ready got tickets for a concert next week (4 bands for $30 is a GREAT deal; especially for these quality bands). I'll make sure to keep my eyes open for ticket sales as soon as they open.

@blockhead: I asked the salesman whether it was possible to Myswitch Vista with XP but he said with laptops it ends up ruining the drivers. He said that people have tried to switch but after a month everything starts crashing. I don't know whether I should believe him or not though...

@Revan: Yea, yea.... I've been having problems with working on that Clash I must admit. I thought I would have time my last week but it turned out that people wanted to have going away parties that I wanted to attend so that took away from working on it at night. Then all the worrying and setting up for the move took time away during the day. The lesson I have learned: I'm not going to give you anymore guesses on when I'll have the first part of the Clash done. I'll just say soon now

,,What is this?"
,,This is now. We are in the now, seeing the now."
,,But when will we see them?"
,,Soon."
,,But when will soon be now?"
,,Soon."

Sorry, I had to do that one. It's not the literal version, but it was a funny scene there in Spaceballs. (Star Wars parody) And well, I'll wait patiently.

And yes, the ancient question of 'how old are you?'

Well in three months or so, I'll pass the magical limit of 18! Whoopee, finally the chance has come to learn how to drive a car. Ok, I'm not that enthusiastic. Cars fricking scare me.

Well, I can get a permit pretty soon, but I'm pretty indifferent when it comes to cars.

As long as it looks decent, and is in reasonable condition I'll be content.

I was a little paranoid at driving when I first started. But once you get used to steering and accelerating, it doesn't appear to be that frightening anymore. Though, I probably need to drive on the highway at bit more to get used to not being a bit paranoid doing that. That won't happen anytime soon though. I don't have a car of my own so I'm limited to my own two feet and transit while I'm in Toronto. I'm gonna miss blaring my tunes in the sweet sound system we had installed into a crappy car....

Man, today was boring. Tomorrow will be even more boring! Stupid labor day...

I didn't do much, other than sleep, eat, drink, play Morrowind, play Guitar Hero II, and watched Godzilla on TV.

While playing Guitar Hero II, my brother gave me the "brilliant" idea of trying to play "Jordan" on Hard and Expert. Yeeeaah, if I had played it in Quickplay or Career Mode I would have cried.

My parents are *supposed* to take me to learn how to drive... thus far they haven't.

I already want to go back to bed. That's what boredom does to you.

I forgot to do the remnants of my homework. Oops. I still have tomorrow though.

I've been eligible to learn how to drive for a long while now. One day I might even get around to it. I'm not really that arsed though, to date my bike or my own two feet have sufficed in almost every situation, and where they haven't public transport has stepped up to the plate.

We don't have public transport here.

Because it's Oklahoma, and we are backerds.

Well, the major cities in OK do. We don't. Because we suck!

Do all license pictures look bad?

Do they have a special camera that captures the worst face you could ever make? Mine is turrible...

Yes.

Edit: In mine, I looked stoned out of my mind. XD

Probably.

Since I know we have geetar players here, what do you suggest I do to practice until I'm fast enough to play songs?

And Mallet, according to MaximumPC switching from Vista to XP simply isn't a good idea on a built for Vista machine. It won't void your warranty (despite what some sales arms of companies might say) but you'll find some devices will cease to work (not completely unable to work, mind you, but they will through a [censored] fit), and various other problems might occur. I really doubt it will harm any drivers.

I have had my license for years (around 4 I think), the freedom...to go down to the cookie factory and buy broken cookies by the kg. And also to go snowboarding whenever I want. Aside from snowboarding I don't really drive, I use public transport for day to day use and I walk often enough. I think my license photo is fine, despite having short hair (which I don't anymore), but passport photo is the one I hate, I usually have my hair resting over my eyes, but for passports you can't have any hair touching your eyebrows so I had to fold it back behind my ears. I look like a rapist. Whenever I need my Dutch passport (the other one is my NZ one) then I think I will get a new photo taken rather than use the same photo despite having spares made for that exact purpose.

I was going to hitch a ride with my cousin and go snowboarding today, but it is too windy, a shame, aside from the fun of snowboarding, I always love looking across the sea from the top of the mountain. Instead I might bake some more cookies, I have 2 variations of the recipe to try to make it orgasmic, perhaps I should just have sex with the girl whilst she is eating the cookies but I like this way better.

Good luck with making orgasmic cookies. If they work for men too, send me the recipe plz.

Hey, the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach!

Yes. Mine look like I had a lobotomy [blank stare, idiotic hair].

I demand a torrent!

That is so true.

I'm eating spicy rice with white chicken meat, 3 days old, and it is unbelievably good. My mom has, after all these years, learned the right measure of spices and home made tomato sauce. Hey, it's nowhere near golden, crispy baked potatoes with prsuta, but it is still good.

p.s.: Zarre dear, I don't know if this is too tough for you right now, but the song is great: http://www.911tabs.com/link/?266408

Ragh! So tired!

My roommate and I decided to see how the Toronto nightlife was Sunday night and I must say it was lively. Unfortunately, we couldn't get into a certain club because I was wearing shorts (it's summer, why can't I wear shorts!) so we ended up just drinking at a bar. It turned out all right though; most of the time at this bar was spent talking to a pair of ladies. Thing is, I've probably only had 2 hours of sleep, blargh!

I need a nap...

I don't have a working printer and there is no effing way I'm going to sit at the computer where everyone can hear me play my very out of tune guitar badly.

I threw away all my guitar magazines (why, I have no idea), so I'll just have to buy more, or print out some tabs Wednesday while I'm in the library. I think I'll start with something simple, like Nirvana.

Also, I prefer to play tabs to a song I know.

I remember getting so mad that Cain wouldn't take me to the last Van Halen concert when they came to Orlando (was Van Hagar actually) that I loaded all my huge piles of music magazines into our zebra striped station wagon, pulled up to a dumpster and chucked them all in. I was furious. Didn't hurt anyone but myself though and it did make a lot of available space on the floor of the closet.

Now they are doing a new tour as the old Van Halen, sort of ... David Lee Roth and Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang Van Halen (on bass in place of Michael Anthony.) Luckily for me, they are not coming anywhere near Orlando on their 50 venue tour ... so I don't have to get mad all over again. Should make for a lot more radio play. Think I'll go check out their official website and see if they've started the tour yet.

Those damn daywalkers... they eluded me today!

Oooh, I will talk to them. The really attractive one. I wonder if he has a nice a... err, butt.

Today was pretty good. We did a lab in AP Chem/Chem II. We dissolved some sodium chloride and benzoic acid in boiling water. Then, we let it cool. The benzoic acid crystalized out. It was sooo cool! I wish I could have keep the crystals we filtered out twice. They were so cool. But then we used the big lump of leftover crystals and put them into water, and heated it up. Cant wait to see what it did Thursday!

I shall be looking out for the daywalkers tomorrow. If they elude me again, next time I see one of them I'm tackling them.

My experimenting is going well. I need to buy some more vegan chocolate though.
Recipe:
1/5 cup sugar (Fair Trade)
1.5 cup white flour (perhap put some mix grain in too, but not too much)
1 heaping teaspoon baking powder
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dash of soy oil (perhaps, it makes the cookies more cookish but not tastier)
x=secret ingredient which I am still discovering, without it the cookies taste a bit doughy, some sort of spice, flavouring or herb, perhaps hash .
Then add soy milk until it sticks together in one big ball but its not liquidy
100g vegan Fair Trade dark chocolate chips.
Bake for 15 minutes at 180c (on baking paper or greased tray).

I half this recipe for experimenting. You can convert into crazy imperial yourself, I don't know why anyone would use a measurement system based on the aspects of the king's size, especially when they don't have a king.

Where the hell is... oh, wait, you have baking powder in there.

I still think peanut butter cookies top chocolate chip, but that's just me and my heathen ways. But that could turn out awesome.

Well my first time washing dishes is over. Went decently and I was happy that it wasn't terribly busy so I wasn't absolutely bogged down in dishes. Still, it's not the most flattering job, you basically get wet and you often have uneaten food stuck on the back of your hands. Ohwell, you don't really notice since you lose feeling in your hands via dealing with hot water.

Can't wait to start is all over again tomorrow...

Yeah, I don't like washing dishes, but I do them when they aren't too gross. I'll also do the laundry. I simply don't like my mom to have to do those things when she's off.

Well the easy part is that our dish washing is based on speed. Basically I just hose down the excess crap, scrub the baked on stuff, then shove it into our high powered washer that basically washes and drys a rack of dishes in like a minute. The dishes are close to being uncomfortable hot afterwards, but it's not too bad.

Cleaning the frying pans by hand is the only annoying thing I really have to do.

tell you what, my first job was cleaning dishes, and I did not like it one bit. It left my fingers all clammy and when i got off, i felt like i needed a shower, but I had been around soapy water all day, and I couldn't stand it.

Ah, but that is a a little bit of the amazing history of the Priest. Did you know that the Priest met a man last veteran's day that had been shot fourteen times on the same day, and still performed his duty in Vietnam?

I got a letter from AmVets yesterday, (American Veterans, I pay a monthly support fee and my family used to give them our outgrown clothes), they mentioned everyone that was going to be at the war memorial in downtown Indy, and the man I met last year is going to be there again. His name, rank included, is First Lieutenant James C. Ransford, and he has been awarded like a trillion purple hearts. The man can't die....

Anyways, thats how vets are treated in Indiana, how are things in other states?

Oh Priest, you'd hate how Florida treats them ... most of our permanent and some of the seasonal homeless guys are Nam vets and they are like invisible to society here.

They mostly prefer to 'live in the bush' in camps in the woods and offroad areas. They do come into town, sometimes to the shelters and sometimes for other stuff like to beg by the side of the highways or hold up signs 'will work for food'.

I kid you not, it is so depressing and yet most of them got treated so horribly when returning home from Nam that they have no intention of ever coming back 'into' society.

And special rescue efforts had to be made to them even during the summer of the 4 hurricanes because even the hurricanes couldn't make them come in and many of them weathered it out in rigged up tents out in the palm trees. Amazing - and survived.

Well, when I was going to the courtyard, he happened to be in front of me. He looked behind him at least five times. Then he sort picked up in speed...

Man that saddened me so much. I guess I'll try to talk to him tomorrow and apologize for... scaring him?

I don't understand the teenage male psyche sometimes.

me neither (and I am one of those teenage males... what's that tell you?)

wow... It's been to long since i've been here. hope I can get into the habit of coming here again

*Threatening tone* You'd better...... or I'll visit your house with some of my friends...... It won't be pretty. *Normal voice*

I hope, you do, Soulseeker, THIH II is dragging its feet at the moment. But that should lift as those of us in school adjust again..... I hate summer vacation now, give me more breaks during school!!!!

Ugh, my current problem is that I have no time on my hands on weekdays where I have work right after school. And because I don't get home until 12ish, I have no inclination to do any homework which results in me waking up early to do it. Bah!

Hopefully my weekends will be more enjoyable. I still have one more day to work this week though, unfortunately.

We have a psyche? Thats very flattering but perhaps an overestimation, we don't develop a psyche until 27.

Vicious rumors, all of it.

@Zarr: no apologies, god damn it. Just tell him you're sorry for startling him & say you LIKE HIM. That's it, really, men have NO psyche. We're pretty straightforward at times, although sub-species [like me] can be pretty screwed up and grouchy.

@Mallet: Send me your job! I like doing dirty work that no one else wants and is really nice and mind [and hand?] numbing

@Soulseeker: welcome back, my good man

...
The worst part of going outside of your house or flat to wherever you have to get to is returning home. Walking back home, past all the smiling couples, kids, decent cars, the life around you, and thinking that you're returning to nothing and no one. Really. Thank goodness for music, especially loud music.

Oh yea, it's definitely a hand numbing job as well. My fingertips are ridiculously smooth feeling but it's hard to tell because it sorta feels like I've lost any sensation to them

Hopefully I get used to it though. I got my last shift this week today so I'm looking forward to getting it over and done with.

lol never fear, for I am here I'll try an catch up.



Thanks Mil

This is nice, I share my dream with the world, and the dream smashes it into a billion tiny freaking pieces.

"Never be afraid to share your dreams with the world, because there is nothing more than the world loves than the taste of really sweet dreams."

Yeah, he also has a girlfriend, a chick I really freaking hate. Three weeks isn't long enough to know someone that well, so of course she'll end up smashing his heart. She's not a nice person at all...

Makes you wonder what some guys see in chicks. I think he's mostly seeing her tits and posterior....

[censored], [censored], [censored].

I'd say "I/We still love you" but that doesn't help much now

Makes me wonder why my Karma is so bad...

My Karma ran over my Dogma again....

I will beat the compassion out of Karma Police once I find those buttheads. They owe me & you MUCHO DINERO, dear.


I knew this day [well, the previous for me] was more than crappy. First they screw us over at that course... correction - there is NO course, we'll learn everything 'on the fly', while we're working. Then I learn that Lucano Pavaroti died. And then, I freeze because it's frigging cold and there is no heating until October 15th... someone must've cast Cone of Crap, Lv4 spell.

Meh, the world really likes taking gigantic dumps on me.

You need it now, dear, a good ol' fashioned huggle. I will resort to warm milk.

Story of our lives, *Plays White Reflections from Gundam Wing*

Don't even suggest I try stealing him either. It's against my priciples, and if he'll leave her for me, he'd probably leave me for someone else.

Stealing a girl or boy from someone else = scummy

Yeah... and yeah. -_-
