Today...
Sorry about your schoolmate Noxx It's because I got the card through Unemployment, which is run by the state. I went to the establishment (BoA) who told me they can't do anything and to go through the State automated system. I did. The option I was looking for wasn't there, so I rang up a human being. I gave her my social security number, address, mothers maiden name, the whole nine yards, but then came the trick question: "How much has been deposited on this card". Well I have no idea since the government claimed to have never have paid me at all. I didn't even know I had money in the account until I paid my taxes where my W(some-number-here) claimed I had ~$600 lying around. So now I need to reset my PIN to something I know, but I first need to know my PIN to do it. Which puts me back at square numero uno. I can't get to my money without my PIN. I can't get my PIN without knowing how much money I was given. I can't figure how much money I was originally given because I initially was told there was bi-weekly payments of $0.00. So I want to change my PIN so I can use this money that I got taxed for to help pay off my $1100 deficit in tax "refund". But I can't do that without my PIN. Get the picture? I'm going to see my school's interpretation of An Actor's Nightmare for class. It might be decent. Then I'm off drinking, so I may not be around for a couple days. (Like I could stay away from this place haha)

Give them an inch, they'll take a mile. I'd say peeping on her was sexual assualt, but only if she felt that way. As the victim, it's up to her to decide how okay the situation was.

Boston Marathon Murders
I will never understand why this stuff bothers people. There's nothing to worry about unless you're committing crimes. Crimes are becoming too easy to commit though. I'm not a hard criminal by any means, but I'd say I regularly break some minor law or another. No sane person can keep in line every day of their lives. I just really hate being watched. Like a lot. It makes me super paranoid, and encourages me to do "bad" things. If they think I'm doing bad things, I take it as a blank check for mayhem. I could just not give any [bleep]s and go on with my life, but I have no idea where the information they're recording is going, who's viewing it, and how long it's kept on record. I had the same freak out at work when we finally started placing security cameras up after the last mob hit in Philly a few months ago. Now I feel like I'm being watched at work and it bothers the shit outta me.

Boston Marathon Murders
Bolded for disagreement. The terrorist isn't the bomb planter. The terrorist is the American Media. The bomb is supposed to be a message, a cry for attention. The media is who's blowing it out of proportion and causing a ruckus of actual fear. Watch the videos of the incident. The people didn't respond with fear, they responded with immediate aid and action. It's the media that's perpetuating the fear. -- To compare Sandy Hook and the Boston bombs seems asinine. The only connection I'd be willing to make is that they were both caused by unknown motives, but both were taken by the media to spread fear and promote national security. Related note: The train I take to school has recently been fitted with video cameras AND audio recording devices. There's now signs that basically say "we're watching". I'll take a picture of it for you guys tomorrow because it bothers me to the point of wanting to don a Guy Fawkes mask.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
...Y-you? Psych major? Pulling the psyche major card? You have a psyche major? I literally went back to make sure that you were the person I was thinking about, aka the person with the crazy ex who seems to keep dating crazy girls knowing it will end badly and doing it anyways... You, the person who went out with a chick knowing it would probably end horribly but doing it anyways because it was fun at the time? YOU have a psyche major and berate others? I'm shocked and stunned. I'm not calling you a hypocrite, but dear GOD that's inconsistent. I'm going to pretend I'm not slightly offended :P I'm attracted to crazy. Not just crazy girls. I crave explanations and solutions. It only makes sense for me to be a psychologist. I still haven't decided if I want to be a research scientist or a therapist though. Besides, 18% of college students in the US are declared Psychology majors. And you can't sit here and tell me all of them are going to be super well adjusted and perfect human beings. I theorize most psych majors are people who have dealt with trauma earlier in their lives whether directly or second hand and enter the field to do their part to help the situation. I'm far from perfectly sane. I have my moments of mania, but self diagnosis is the worst idea ever, and I don't have the time or insurance to get myself actually checked out. So I learned to handle it on my own. I'm not gonna sit here and try to explain what exactly makes me tick, but I know my limits and what I should and shouldn't do verse what I want to do and am capable of. I like living the human experience in its fullest spectrum. To deny yourself any life experience is wasteful to me, so even if I know something will end badly, I'll do it anyway for the experience. Most things end badly anyway, why deny yourself that short run of happiness? I'm fairly inconsistent in what I preach verse what I do sometimes, sure. But give me an example of one human that hasn't done that. It's part of what we are as a species whether you like it or not.

Ya'll need to get your troll detectors checked. Yeesh. Today I'm doing some projects, including a paper on the religious value of being abducted by aliens. Yes I'm serious. Also I've found another reason to hate banks, as they won't let me reset my PIN number without my old PIN number which I don't remember. This essentially means they're holding my ~$600 hostage until I figure out my PIN. Which was just a random assortment of numbers because I never changed it from when it was issued to me. Also every month the card isn't active they penalize my money. So they can literally just sit around and not help me get my money and get paid to do so. This country blows.

Lovin' these yu-gi-oh references haha @bedman I think the best advice is to learn how to deal with it, and avoid them whenever possible. If she can get used to it, so can you.

Today I made my buddy fall for a girl that's not his girlfriend, met a new girl I'm talking to and convinced my ex that meeting her fiance is the worst idea anyone has ever dreamed up. Eventful. The GTA4 mod looks interesting, though I couldn't find any particularly appealing youtube videos on it. Just made plans to see Anamanaguchi in May. Love me some chiptunes.

Boston Marathon Murders
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_United_States_foreign_regime_change_actions The US does some shady stuff in the background of radical government change. Giving guns to rebels in foreign countries, feeding money into drug cartels to create allies, etc. I'm pretty sure it was proven that Pearl Harbor could have been preventable, but we chose to let it fly so we would have a real reason to jump into WWII. The JFK assasination was theoretically a CIA job, but we won't know for sure for another decade or so when the records are released.

WHAT? This is news to me. I always pegged him as an Eastern European :P I casually rock wall climbed for a bit back in the day, usually on the V1+ and V2-. I can't say I was super good at it, but it was real invigorating. I wish I had time to get back into it, but alas it's out of my hands. I am going hardcore hiking later next month though, so I'll atleast get a brief feel for sprawling vertical again.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Ging got that one good. @bedman realize that it's her parents, not yours. They may piss you off, but at least you didn't have to live with them for X years. Just be there for your girlfriend when they get her down, and try to get her away from the situation. I dunno your age range, but moving her out sounds like a good idea. And if you've been together for 2 years, you may even want to consider moving in together (maybe). Generally there's not much you can do about how crazy you girl's parents are, but you can change how you handle the situations regarding the insanity. On the other hand, I've been known to whip out my psych major card on my friend's parents whilst drunk and berate them for screwing up their kids so bad. Hilariously has happened more than once. It actually turned out alright in my case, but I can't say I'd say it's a good idea to confront her parents while drunk haha

Boston Marathon Murders
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/04/16/second-three-victims-killed-at-boston-marathon-identified/ So from what I've gathered from other sources is that yesterday 2 bombs were detonated at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. There was a third bomb that was diffused before detonation, and is under investigation to determine its origin. Fragments of the bombs are being collected for similar purposes. 3 people have been confirmed dead, and near 140 were reported injured at the scene. I'm gonna let the conspiracy theorist in me take over now: How convenient is it that this happened right before the debates over national security, guns laws, surveillance laws, and Obamacare? The US government has been known to stage these types of events "for the greater good". The third bomb to me sounds like a way the authorities can place blame on whomever they like, whether it's a domestic threat, or an act of foreign terrorism. I'm concerned the politicians are going to spin this into an excuse to fly more drones over the cities and keep a closer eye on our citizens to make sure this doesn't happen again. There doesn't seem to be any other reason for this act of violence, as no clear message seems to have been left by those who were responsible for it. Thoughts?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
@Muggiw What is an AFC man exactly? I hate the stupid lingo, but I enjoy the philosophical debates behind it. I question this myself sometimes. I put the ball in her court to call me back. She didn't. I could have left it at that, but I ended up calling her to apologize for being so mad all the time. I don't think I'll be hanging around her or talking to her again though. At least that's what I'm trying for. I really don't need the triggers she sets off all the time. The window of happiness I had with her seems to have locked shut. <3

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I was hoping for a general answer, but lets give a scenario: 1. meet girl 2. get told shes still getting over her ex 3. challenge accepted (first mistake) 4. do very inconvenient favors for her (second mistake is assuming niceness translates to attraction) 5. ask for nothing in return (third mistake in not being clear with intentions) 6. end up driving an extra 2 hours to drop her and her ex back at her house so they can travel together out of state for a huge party the next day (too many mistakes to even list) - On a persona note, I'm mad as shit, but mostly at myself. I project it on her which isn't good, but if my life were a TV show and ya'll saw every move i've made and every response she's given me...I feel I'm pretty justified.

Blew up on my latest crazy via facebook message because I knew I'd back down too easy if I heard her voice. I think I've finally freed myself.
