Wow. Glad you're well again.

Taishyr · « **Reply #301 on:** February 09, 2008, 07:52:20 PM »

...shit. Well, glad you're doing better. Means Zenny owes me money now!

(Seriously, glad you are doing well, take care, stop acting like Dune damnit.)

Good advice for so many reasons.

Pneumonia? Dude. Get better.

Yeah, don't die on us.. yet. I don't want to lose a writer!

Finish the X-Com LP and then you can die.

See what I did there I completely ignored OK being sick look at how edgy I am.

Glad to hear you're all right, though!

Where is that Persona 1 walkthrough with maps?

Dunefar · « **Reply #307 on:** February 10, 2008, 01:06:41 AM »

Fuckin' hell, OK. I went through nearly the same myself(Flu and pneumonia but I somehow avoided the hospital.) and it was utter hell. Glad to see you're doing better all around.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #308 on:** February 10, 2008, 08:25:27 AM »

I'm really glad you are okay. I was really worried. <_< ;_; *hugs*

Veryslightlymad · « **Reply #309 on:** February 10, 2008, 08:41:19 AM »

OK. This is of vital importance. I ask you to listen to me.

Don't. Die.

Grefter · « **Reply #310 on:** February 10, 2008, 08:55:59 AM »

OK you need to get this right, stop whatever you are doing and listen to the sound of my text.

You are on the way to destruction. You have no chance to survive make your time.

Taishyr · « **Reply #311 on:** February 10, 2008, 08:59:15 AM »

Permission to die until you have completed your Persona 1/2 stat topic and walkthroughs: denied!
hey, it looked fun. *shrug*

Grefter · « **Reply #312 on:** February 10, 2008, 09:20:35 AM »

Haha!Not to scale.

Taishyr · « **Reply #313 on:** February 10, 2008, 09:23:49 AM »

With Grefter, everything is larger than life?

Cotigo · « **Reply #314 on:** February 10, 2008, 10:07:56 AM »

That's not what she said.

Grefter · « **Reply #315 on:** February 10, 2008, 12:15:47 PM »

She didn't say anything cause I wore her head for a hat through 3 states.

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #316 on:** February 10, 2008, 03:37:00 PM »

Damnit, stop making me laugh. It hurts.

Plus, it makes my breathing sound like a fat man trying to run up a 90 degree incline, which, as you can expect, sound fucking weird.

Sierra · « **Reply #317 on:** February 10, 2008, 06:09:47 PM »

90-degrees = vertical. I'd be surprised to see anyone run that.

Cotigo · « **Reply #318 on:** February 10, 2008, 08:03:49 PM »

No wonder some people who exercize are fat. All the fat people are trying to run up walls. Yeesh.

So I got a new computer, a shiny new HP desktop, to replace my 7-year-old Dell, which sounded like a car with exhaust problems and had recently decided that recognizing optical drives wasn't cool anymore. So that's good. Can't send it to work, so I send it to my home address. FedEx Ground doesn't deliver on weekends, won't leave it except with me in person, so I've got to pick it up from the FedEx warehouse after work. Where's the warehouse? Good question. The FedEx helpline gives me an address in Queens. FedEx's website can't find a facility at that address, neither can Google, but the helpline people swear it's there. Ok. The website gives an address that's only a mile away from there, so no problem. Ah, but the devil truly is in the details. This is the industrial part of queens, where public transportation is shaky at best, and I, consummate cosmopolitan, have no car. So I get off at the nearest subway stop at around 7pm, wait for a bus to take me close. 45 minutes later, no bus. It's on a 20-minute schedule, and we've seen 3 of them going the other way. Local schoolkids walk past, talking mostly about how black they are ("So black I can't see you, nigga!" "shut up! my skin's not so dark!" Morgan Freeman once said that Black History Month is a ludicrous idea because black history is part and parcel of American history and ought not be segregated. Bet they never name a city school after him.) So I walk. It's only a mile through a dark, nearly-deserted industrial area. no prob. Get to the address the FedEx helpline gave me. No facility. Surprised? Me neither. Ok, another mile, assuming Google Maps knows its stuff. No FedEx facility there either, but I follow a passing FedEx truck and find it another block down. Not too far off. 9pm by now. Hang out in the security gatehouse, watching all the FedEx workers come out and get patted down to make sure they're not stealing. Not exactly a diamond mine, but in the same vein (haha). The guard calls me a taxi, turns out to be an unmarked (presumably illegal) one. Not a huge surprise, really. $40 later I'm back at my apartment, shiny new computer in tow ('cept the speakers, which they forgot to pack). Perhaps the universe sensed that, though I had paid the money, I had not yet karmically earned my computer. To which I say, "Fine, but can I have the taxi fare back?"

Dunefar · « **Reply #320 on:** February 11, 2008, 02:56:01 AM »

Would someone in chat do me a favor and kick the aiel? He needs to check his PMs.

My first experience with my cross country team's annual "picnic" involved basically climbing a cliff, requiring the use of hands to get yourself up, with life and limb at risk. I'm quite sure there were some 80+ degree angles involved there, at least briefly. Shocking that everyone came out of it unharmed, I think.

Subsequent picnics were toned down a bit.

And speaking of computers, I've got my dad looking for a good budget notebook, and my mom offering to get me one for graduation at around an $800 price tag. Any suggestions? My dad just wants Word and basic internet access, I'm hoping to squeeze a few older games into mine, including much emulated fun.

EDIT: Ah, right. Remember to breath OK. Important detail that shouldn't be overlooked.

Runners climb, wtf?

Friend wants to move in with me and roomate temporarily. Thing is, we have a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with a living room and kitchen that's it. There really isn't room for him, but we've also both known him since we were 4 or 5. Sooooo trying to figure that out right now yippy! (He says it'd only be for a couple of weeks, but he also said it'd only take a week to pay us back when we bailed him out of prison for DUI. 8 weeks later I got the money.)

On the job note, got 3 interviews the week of the 25-29. One I should get for sure, but the other 2 pay better, so hopefully I get one of those. If I somehow fail at all 3, I'm going to inject mself with a mutated breed of Syphilis that will instantly turn me insane. At least if that happens I'll go to an asylum and won't need a job. (On a random note, the job I should get is across the street from the Asylum, so it'd be close to getting that job!)

So basically I find out that I have conflicts in my schedule. THREE CLASSES OFFERED AT 8 AM, all that I need. Two of them can be taken at the same time, but the third one can't be taken at the same time as either of the other two. Who the fuck offers this many 8 AM classes? I will stab them with flowers.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #324 on:** February 13, 2008, 10:36:33 PM »

Aaaaand that was sorted out. Yay for trying to deal with things early.
