DIE SUPER!!! - G'morning, 2009!

[Sierra]

My phonenumber doesn't show up in public searches, so I only get door-to-doors. I feel sorry about slamming the door in their faces because, well, they're just doing their job.

Solution: never answer the door.

I'm more surprised door to door salesmen exist anywhere; they're a thing of the past in the US. The only things I really see door to door are the mormons. Girl/boy scouts aren't even allowed to go door to door any more to sell things, and I even clearly remember doing that as a kid.

[Bardiche]

Haha, we still get kids collecting candy by the door every 11th of November. As a staunch believer in tradition I always prepare candy for them.

We also get kids gathering old christmas trees on new year's day. Every tree entered gets you a place in the raffle!

I also get devout believers at my door who want to convert me. Well, used to get. Ever since I told them I supported the jihad it's been eerily quiet on the religious front.

>_> I have to answer the door because the curiousity will otherwise eat at me forever. Though, I can see who's outside through my bedroom window, so... yeah. I'm not sure, I guess I just feel sorry for people doing their jobs and being treated so negatively.

Though, the only time I ever purchased something was when some exchange student from god knows where was selling a painting for cheap. Even if it's counterfeit or whatever, I really don't think it was a waste of money. :V Looks authentic enough, and the frame was worth the money!

SO!

I am having trouble downloading a Japanese IME program onto my laptop.  I get an error that says that Office XP is required for the IME; I have Office 2007 installed on the laptop, so I'm assuming the IME on Microsoft's website is incompatible.  After a little searching for Office 2007 compatability, the only thing I've found is a site where you have to purchase individual language packs... which is bullshit.  Does anyone know a free IME that's compatible with Office 2007?  I'd like to be able to use my laptop to take Japanese notes and do written compositions, so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I'll continue to search on my own later, and for now I'll just work at my desktop, but yeah, help is appreciated, etc, etc, etc.

[Idun]

Tired.

[Idun]

Work today again. This is unfortunate because I DO need extra time with this philosophy essay, though the deadline is Thursday. Well, "exam" is Thursday, but the professor is allowing people to send theirs in, get comments, then re-write on exam day as 60% of the class doesn't have her book because it was never available at the bookstore. She suggested Amazon [which I bought, but I have an inkling that I'll have to contest it Monday as the 15 of Sept is the last day for receiving the book] and people are getting a range of 15 days for shipping, etc. which is bullshit. So, I'm just going to work with what I got.

On another note, I'm tired of purchasing books online from half.com/amazon, etc. It seems like B&N has the exact same sellers as both sites, and I DO click on those with *great ratings*. But if tomorrow I don't receive my school book, it'll be the second time I have to contest some bullshit and wait even LONGER to get the book. Why does this only happen for school books?

Edit* and yes, I know today is just the 13th.

Went out for my birthday yesterday. Good times. They have a barcade in Downtown Portland, I learned. Also, found out a friend of mine from high school is a chubby chaser.

[Taishyr]

Laptop's not functioning - crashed last night, refuses to boot to anything but safe mode.

Migraine.

Mood doubleplusungood.

[Ultradude]

Poor Tai.

Ahaha T_T

[Yoshiken]

First day of college, complete. I'm not gonna complain that we didn't really learn much today, because I know that'll come back to bite me in the arse if I do, but I'll say that I'm honestly surprised that we didn't do more. Still, made a few more friends, and all was pretty epic.
Now, I'm on a games design high, thankfully, so I'm gonna go get working on drawing up characters for a fighting game I've been planning. It doesn't really matter that I can't draw, I'll just have to improve~

In related news, I'm now laughing at anyone on here who complained about going to their first day of school/college/uni, etc. I really don't see what the problem is with meeting and talking to new people...

People have different abilities as far as meeting people and making friends goes. Hint: Laughing at people openly about it is a good way to get smacked. *Smack*

At work right now. Studying a little but not too much, as I crunched some before I started working. I did take the time to read the new internationalist, which is good for a laugh or an urge to kill. Mmmyes more appeals to emotion, this surely will make your extremist views more reasonble.

Not to mention that not everybody likes people. *Stylus thwap.*

hmmmm, nighttime at work.

Being as 'productive' as I am, Snow?

[AndrewRogue]

It isn't necessarily the meeting people part that is hard. It is the making new, lasting connections part.

Actually a bit more, I'm working on an Election Law five-parter. It needs to be done by Thursday. I'm almost done! ... with file 2 of 5. eep.

Don't forget sifting through the people to determine if they're even worth talking to!

Hard drive failure! How groovyspandexilicous.

[Ultradude]

Ooo ooo ooo did it make a funny noise?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Your vicarious pleasurehounding over the toro's dying laptop disturbs me.

[Taishyr]

it has not made a funny noise. -yet-. i am currently thusly attempting to get as much fucking data off it as possible.

it has, however, thrown pretty strings of letters and numbers at me.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

arghfuck sharp blades raining down my stomach pain

* Taitoro mrfpats snow.

[Ultradude]

Well hey, at least it didn't just die on you out of the blue like mine did. Hope you can get plenty off and find a reasonably priced replacement >_>

[Taishyr]

I'm going to need to buy a new laptop period since this one's hardwired in.
