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

[Cmdr_King]

I think we just have different definitions of emo then.

[Taishyr]

Meanwhile I'm in a position where I agree with CK.

Which is to say right now I'd just like to beat so many people senseless but it can't happen so I'm just banging my head against a keyboard and producing intelligible results.

Oh, and Merry Christmas and holiday cheer. All that jazz. Don't really care, but whatevs.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I think we just have different definitions of emo then.

The fact you desperately need hugs from, at a minimum, an army of 20-year-old Sally Fields in nun clothings still remains.

EDIT: Oddly, also applies to toros.

[Taishyr]

What thell is Sally Fie- yeah, google.

... Pass, thanks.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

You can choose something else to hug you - the only loss is the deadly diabetes-inducing sugar high.

EDIT: Also, Sally Fields nowadays is sorta the kind of stuff your average 20-year-old would probably have to Google anyway.

[Taishyr]

I have chocolate and my family is prone to diabetes. I already toe that line and I'd really bloody well appreciate it if my body fucking well stopped malfunctioning on me anyway, so pass on that sugar high there.

That's what I was saying to begin with. >_>

[Taishyr]

...

Right. I'll just take my sour mood out since I've also got the reading comprehension of a drunk and high squirrel.

I blame the smell of the plastic christmas tree.

[superaielman]

Christmas is wonderful as always.  Wish we'd get snow on christmas, but no luck. Just going to be chilly.

[Taishyr]

Hey, CT. Set super on fire, stay warm that way.

[Bardiche]

Christmas is wonderful as always.  Wish we'd get snow on christmas, but no luck. Just going to be chilly.

I used to think that way, but now the snow's seriously coming dangerously close to messing up the family's Christmas plans. Ever since the snow's come down, public transit's gone all nuts and haywire.

On the other hand, it's snow. I haven't seen it in ages. I'm only disappointed in the kids around here who are slacking off and not building snowmen before the snow melts.

... They DO jump into the ditch, though. Snow does not equal ice!!

[Cotigo]

Did the gift exchange thing already since my parents decided to work Christmas for the overtime.

I gave:

To the sister:  Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palaniuk, and the novelisation of "Wicked".
To the father:  The album Straight Shooter by Bad Company, and I chipped in with my sister to get him the new Slayer album.
To the mother:  A Slap Chop.  >_>  It's what she wanted...

I received:  V for Vendetta, Sandman vol 1., and the new Protomen album.

Good year.  Managed to buy gifts for everyone without borrowing money, and I got two books I've been meaning to read along with an album I was going to buy with graduation money anyway.  Huzzah.

[NotMiki]

the novelisation of "Wicked".

Is that the book the play was based on, or does there truly exist a book based on a play based on...a book?

[Shale]

More pathetic things have happened.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

We live in a world where the Twilight series is a sterling success both in print and celluloid. More pathetic things happening is a modus operandi rather than a circumstance.

[Idun]

Been idling the break away with a lot of movie watching, little gaming, and a lot of baking. Little internet too, which isn't fun. I just realized that despite my small list of sites to visit everyday, it takes a bit to catch up. Also, Colloquy on my computer opens when I don't even prompt it to. Ion' think it's a virus; it just started doing this since I upgraded it. if I'm in chat, just believe I'm not there. It's not hard.

[Lady Door]

ARGH I HATE COMPUTERS

I installed Windows 7. Now my speakers are crackling. After updating the drivers AND flashing the BIOS... they're still crackling. It's something with the system, not the speakers, because it does the same thing when I have headphones plugged in.

[Shale]

You mentioned switching to 64-bit before, so just to be sure, you're using the 64-bit drivers?

[Lady Door]

I am 32-bit. I was lamenting that my computer with 4 GB of RAM came with the 32-bit version of Windows 7 instead of 64.


EDIT: ... okay? Apparently uninstalling the driver altogether fixes this. I'll do more research to figure out WTF tomorrow.

[Cotigo]

the novelisation of "Wicked".

Is that the book the play was based on, or does there truly exist a book based on a play based on...a book?

The novel came before the play, I think.  I phrased it that way because I'm pretty sure that more people know about the play than the book?  My sister did, anyway.

[Grefter]

Slap her troubles away with slap chop.

Also, need I remind you of how Xorn tries to deal with love by killing everything that exists?

I am going to scrub your face away with a mountain of steel wool.

The novel most certainly did come before the book. "Novelisation" specifically means converting something into novel form, so... yeah. Anyway. Hooray!

By the way, Jim, there are indeed books based on <other media> based on books. It breaks my heart at the same time it encourages me to predict things like "Avatar: The Movie: The Novelization: The Game".

[Ultradude]

Haha stupid dogs and snow.

[Bardiche]

I want to work at my stepdad's firm. Well, the one he works at.

CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM WORK: three months of salary bonus. That's... mrbflhmg, on top of his regular wages so basically four times as much as normally.

I'm all whaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[DomaDragoon]

*gazes hatefully at Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game*

At work, finishing up. Unlike <i>some people</i>, cell phone support doesn't shrivel up and die in the last weeks of the year (though it's still quiet enough to post here, so I shouldn't complain).
