Now that its not below freezing anymore, my room has gone back to 'warm and sweaty mode. Worst part is, this is nothing like what it will be like in the summer (when it will hit 35-40C while its 25-30 outside). I also discovered I don't have my summer sheets here, or a proper spring jacket. Gonna have to get that stuff back.

My observation of skinny jeans is that they have an oddly low crotch, presumably so that guys don't accidently neuter themselves if they sit down. Seems like it would make it hard to run though. Thinking back to my primary education days, many guys got around the crotch problem by relocating the waste of their pants to bellow their ass. This also made their choice of boxers a legitimate fashion decision. And interesting choice of shorts Vezon. I'm sure theirs a story behind that, and I think we'd all like to hear it sometime.

I started my dream journal again. Day 1 was pretty bad, with terrible recall. Aside from the fact I am normally writing these with blackout curtains still drawn, on my side, with only one eye open/able to see, and therefore has some scary bad penmanship, it was very disjointed and general. Day 2 was a lot better, and if I had written it down right when I woke up I probably could have gotten double the detail down. Still, its sort of working in that I can still sort of remember all three dreams (two on day 1), especially if I give it a read through. By the end of the weekend I should have my dream recall skills back up to scratch, and my dream descriptions will stop sounding like ADD just swallowed the medicine cabinet (because I recall dreams from end to beginning, so they are often out of order). I can remember every dream I have recorded, even if only a couple mental pictures, if I read my descriptions over, so if I keep this up, there are going to be an incredible amount of memories I would have missed out on. Even if I don't get to lucid dream more, the extra memories should be nice.

I get this every once in a while, except I always get 97% (9) or something like that (its always the same %, just forget what the value is). Clearing the Jagex cache does work for me, but you also need to clear the browser cache as well (in chrome you can do this options>under the hood>clear browsing data). So clear the Jagex cache, then the browser, then shut the browser down (and particularly with firefox use task manager to make sure it closes for real, and end any proccesses still running linked to any browser), then reload the browser and try loading the game again. If that doesn't work, do the same, but add in a reboot and a rain dance.

That's what spring is like here. It gets sunny long before it really gets warm. You just downgrade from winter coat to light jacket or hoodie and your good most days, unless its super windy (so you always look at a tree or flag first). On a similar note, I was at a hotel in Orlando, Florida, a few years back, and it was sunny and warm, but the windows on the hotel by the pool had like super tinting on them that always made it look like it was cold and about to start pissing down rain any second. Then you open the door and realize that the windows are just trolling you.

:thumbsup: That sounds awesome Albel. Have fun with that!

Asap so the girl you want to go with isn't already asked? Yeah, you should be fine to ask now I think.

I think "my girl" sums up the problem nicely. People who think like this should be lonely forever. Oh, and I went to the symphony yesterday with my brother (me because I wanted to go, him because he had to for a course). It also included a sort of overview story of the fortress of Louisbourg (French name, now pronounced as it would be in English so Loo-iss-burg). I enjoyed the story aspect, since I have never actually heard a nice summary of its history start to finish before, and it broke up the music a bit so you don't have any never ending songs. Two hours well spent.

one of the reasons why you're shy/antisocial is because that's what you believe you are. quit thinking like that and start considering yourself the most outgoing and social person. your brain will believe you eventually also, if you have any friends that are incredibly outgoing, try to spend as much time as possible w/ them. when your brain sees your friend being rewarded for their social behavior, it will give you even more of a reason to develop that mindset. Just don't fall into the trap of allowing your outgoing friend(s) to be outgoing for you.

Probably will.

I like the stock lander. Looks a bit heavy for the decent, but I do like it. I haven't been playing this much lately. Got a week long attention span for games, but I rotate through them.

Disorder | Rating Paranoid: Low Schizoid: Low Schizotypal: Moderate Antisocial: Low Borderline: Low Histrionic: Low Narcissistic: Low Avoidant: Moderate Dependent: Low Obsessive-Compulsive: Low And I get the results of my Meyers Briggs test in a week too.

I think basically, internet groups love to be against something; for example, most of the internet hate twilight. Hating something as a group seems to be of massive interest to the internet; because liking something together normally never works because people don't like things equally but hate can just be magnified and magnified on the internet beyond recognition because of positive reinforcement and group mentality. Of course Kony isn't a massive evil (like twilight) because their are holes in the hate and there wasn't time for people to hate it enough. It just shows how hollow the internet is, a perfect example is my little pony and twilight. Because of positive reinforcement and aggressive internet arguing, twilight is made out to be absoloutely terrible while MLP is absoloutely popular as anything. Problem with Kony is that he's a factual person and peoples opinions hold no stead in these sorts o f internet hate campaigns. Nothing brings people together like a common enemy.

Semi-finished working on updating my resume (which hasn't needed updating in 3 years), and the cover letter to go with it. Still beats making a resume from scratch though (I still remember how not fun it was creating the damn thing). In an ideal world, it would get created the first time you do something worth putting on it, and every time you do something else that should go on it thereafter, update it again. This will also be the first cover letter (which at least for this job is what is going to get you if not the interview itself, then your resume even glanced at). The really fun part is how both of them had to be typed out again on my own to get the formatting right, and now being able to touch type with a fair degree of accuracy is really paying off (with essays, I have the luxury of looking at the keyboard). I also realized today that when I type, my fingers are working without any conscious direction. I'm not even thinking of the letters I want, normally I just think of the words and my fingers hammer it out for me. Never really noticed that before.

I've never thought much of the idea of dream symbolism, at least not in a universal sense. I don't know what death in a dream would mean for me, but then, I'm also symbolism impaired. Had one last night that I really wish I had written down, because now its a bunch of fragments. I would also like to remember the beginning, because this one actually had a setup I think. Most of it related to looking forward to weekends in the summer, based off what I was doing in the dream (swimming, water skiiing all at my parents lakefront), but I was also trying to get two people to fall for me (at the same time) because I couldn't decide between them. If I had to guess, its coming from my own real relationship as it moves along, and my mind is working through it doubts, literally of the one that got away I think. Oddly enough, my dream used two other people I don't recognize. I managed to pull out a monster/chase dream, that I think was based off the deadspace games (right at the end it was decided that the thing on the necklace that got recovered in the ruins of someplace was causing the transformations). Not scary though (at least, not a nightmare), which is highlighted by just how terrible my memory of it is now. Fun night. Not sure where the chase dreams come from though. They aren't really related to any current thoughts, or fantasies, and they don't ever properly match up with any games or movies. I also don't like it when you end up being chased in games (except the cops in gta). Maybe I have a fear of being chased and my subconscious is trying to get me over it.

True story :thumbup: I too must second this. If the teacher doesn't say how they want something done, then yeah, its on them. If they do though, and you do something different, you can't be surprised when they give it a terrible mark. And I think I remember you on this thread a while back when you wrote that thing that got you kicked out Dash. On a totally different note, I've been playing a bit of gta san andreas and vice city. My PC won't even run VC properly, if at all, but my laptop can do it fine. After playing GTA:IV, its amazing how terrible it makes it predecessors feel, becuase they we're working with the limitations of the time. For example, in Vice City, you can't rotate the camera while driving. Also, the physics are weird for things like drifting which makes the cars handle way better than they should. Even in San Andreas they have pretty good grip, though its a lot better. I also noticed with San Andreas (because I played around with it more) just how terrible the AI is for other cars. It's like their all on an invisible track being towed (because there is a region in particular where very large vehicles are going way faster and accelerating way harder than they can when you drive them), and people wont really try to go around you, and if you going slow on the highway the other lane will slam on the brakes and honk when they get close. In IV, I can drift better (though and it doesn't do that stupid blurry thing that makes your car impossible to drive in anything but a strait line), cars go around when I park against the sidewalk, and it all just feels so much cleaner. I guess it kinda ruined its predecessors for me.

Saw a fairly impressive single car accident yesterday. Pickup truck landed on its roof, and apparently made pretty good distance down the highway going by the debris (looks like it got in a number of rolls). The driver was like totally unharmed (he was standing by it on the phone while a cop directed traffic). I don't know how he got out of it though. I'm a lot smaller, and I would have had trouble just getting in through what was left of the window, let along trying to get out through one while upside down with my feet under the steering wheel. This morning, more snow and hail. There was a car on its side in the ditch, pointing backwards. Not quite sure how that one worked. Once I got back into the city the radio reported some more accidents on the same highway as last nights incident (keeping in mind this highway almost never has accidents on account of being a number of kilometers long strait stretches with super mild turns). I think there was a multi car accident out where my parents live, and someone hit a guard rail and landing in the incoming lane to the city at another exit. And steam is doing its best to convince me I don't need money, just more games. Now, if only the download for my latest acquisition would work.

Excuse me while I go off in a totally different direction... I guess it was probably years ago now (it doesn't feel like it because my mind is helpfully ignoring the multi year break I took from the forums), there was a thread here about a news article about a couple of grade 5 children caught having sex in a classroom. For anyone really interested, here is the thread (and holy shit its from 2007 :blink: ). Anyway, there was a lot of surprise posted about the age, and I'm sure there was some stuff about what the world is coming too (heck, there might have been some of that from me). And having had apparently ~5 years to think about it, I don't think school was actually all that much different for me. I found out what a [bleep] was in grade 1, compliments of my brother, who was in grade 6 at the time, and loved to share stories about what school would be like for me in the future. I knew what sex was before grade 4 was done, compliments of the education system. Can't say I ever knew of kids having sex (or claiming too) in elementary, and I distinctly remember some of the boys still thinking girls had cooties, but there were definitely relationships going on (at least there were in grade 6). Anyway, its nice having these memories because as long as I have them, I hopefully wont fall into the adult trap where I think children are all innocent little angels. And that even if their not, its okay because everyone I grew up with went through that, and I don't think any of us suffered for it. As a side note, Steam makes me want to go on a game shopping binge, because its just so freaking convenient.

I loved cyberchase too. And yeah, a math show that didn't suck. Now I almost want to watch an episode for old times sake.

I'll agree on the plot, though I don't know what you mean by Serbian. I think my favorite movie so far this year has been The Sitter, though I don't know if I want to see it again or not (most comedies are not nearly as good on the re watch, with a few exceptions). I've also started writing a bit in spare time again (well, tonight, but I've been thinking through the plot and setting for a few days). I think I finally worked something out that is original in so far as its not an actual copy of anything. I suspect some novel I have never read has done something like it though (there been any novels about eugenics?). Two things will kill the project though. The first is I hate writing dialogue. Not because I suck at thinking up conversations, but because I hate the mechanics of actually writing it (I can use a semi colon, but quotation marks are something of a mystery to me beyond actual quotations). I guess I always feel like the way I put it together is awkward. Once I figure out the plot (because yes, I did start writing with nothing but a setting, a back story and maybe a couple scenes to work through later), I might post it to the library. The plot being the other thing that will kill it of course. I'm also going to need to dig up the game that I based the setting off of (being one I played a lot of, and am very familiar with). There are a few points I want to explore again.

Trying to think of good single books I have read. I don't think I have ever read a standalone Fantasy. The closest I can get you is a standalone as part of a, I guess meta series (like the forgotten realms, or dragonlance, which are both collections of books and series based in specific D&D settings). In this case, the Diablo novel (warcraft, starcraft, and Diablo all have their own collections) Legacy of Blood, which is standalone, as is Moon of the Spider. Both great books, though I favor the former. Their also both by Richard A. Knaak. Richard has written many of the Dragonlance, Dragonrealm, Diablo and Warcraft books.

As far as titles go, I am happy with my last one (Archon). I want a refund on my first title though, since I never would have gotten it if I had known Archon was coming out later.

I finally got the 3rd season to American Dad (for some reason I had season 1, 2, 4, and 5. I don't know if its just because their new to me (I've had all the others for months now), but I think this season is best of them, with a monopoly on their best episodes. I'll probably finish the season off tonight (and once again be out of TV/movies I haven't already seen :().

Changing books was never an issue before for me. My cramulet gets me pretty close to the pyrimid (and can be recharged right outside the al-k bank), and my wicked hood gets to right to the lunar alter, which is good for getting back to the normal book. Still, can't complain about a better option. This leaves me even more free to just leave magic on ancients (not that I actually use magic). The only thing I miss is being able to alch, but my ex ring can normally handle it. My house provides most of the normal teleport locations via house tabs, and I can modify the tabs to go to trollheim too, so I'm not really missing much (I have the fairy ring to ape atoll to compensate for that one being gone). Might go for some more emotes this round. I think I have the only two auras that really interest me (though I could always upgrade them), plus corruption. I do like emotes though. Also thinking about a slayer helm recolour now that red is actually red, and should go nicely with dragon armor.

For the record, I don't like partying either, and I enjoyed it. Not something I would watch over and over again (more of a movie theater movie). Sort of in the same vein that I liked the Hangover, and will quite probably never watch it again (half the movie is not knowing exactly what's going to happen, just that its going to get even more retarded).
