Gref's just warning Zenny not to price himself out of the market.

Wow, I don't even remember writing that.

Apparently comiserdrinking with a friend who found out some pretty shitty news and then getting on the internet after they pass out is a dumb idea.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #478 on:** June 28, 2013, 07:59:53 AM »

It's okay. Remember that time I talked about how I was feeling?

Grefter · « **Reply #479 on:** June 28, 2013, 08:09:29 AM »

Was that the time you said you could feel your hands and that meant you hadn't drunk enough?

superaielman · « **Reply #480 on:** June 28, 2013, 04:17:43 PM »

Your drunken coherence is an inspiration to us all, Rob.

Personal Best competition just done by dudes at my gym today. 105 kg Squat, 85 kg Bench and 130 kg Deadlift. I failed 90 bench and 140 dead. Pretty okay with this.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #482 on:** June 29, 2013, 07:55:16 AM »

You can bench 85 kg? That's like benching Trancey... Or maybe even Zenny. Not bad sir. When did you reach that benchmark (no pun intended)?

Grefter · « **Reply #483 on:** June 29, 2013, 08:42:49 AM »

About 5 hours ago. Edit - This was a 1 rep max comp, not like that is a work set or anything nuts like that.

No, I'm down to 75K now. Grefter can bench me easily.

Jesus christ, you can bench like 1.25x me.

I hate being away from home on holidays. It's when I feel my heart ripped out most.

=(

For all that such a feeling is kinda foreign to me. But I'm just not that attached to either holidays or family.

Trip in roughly seven hours. Neurosis, unleash.

Lady Door · « **Reply #488 on:** July 08, 2013, 06:44:38 PM »

I'm a mostly healthy 20-something. I go to the doctor every year to confirm I'm still generally healthy, and that's that.

Now I have new insurance. New insurance means seeing new doctors. Which means, despite being generally healthy, I had to make an appointment for this morning, and then I will need three other appointments just to keep up to date with "I'm healthy" records.

Then I also need to make a dental appointment, and a vision appointment.

Ugh.

SnowFire · « **Reply #489 on:** July 09, 2013, 07:07:06 AM »

Speaking of which. SirAlex, Grefter, and myself all got pretty and put on dresses to go to the fancy ball yesterday. SnowFire = SirAlex >>>> Grefter in elegance, of course, which isn't shocking since Lady Grefter is a "courtesan" and certainly not on the level of society ladies such as ourselves. SirAlex's boorish husband AndrewRogue might have yet impressed the ball with his tales of closing the German deal (despite having less $$$ than my dear LordDoor), except when Lady Grefter made the scene about Andrew treating her like an, ahem, working girl (I believe the exact words were "cheap whore"). There were gasps of dismay from the shocked onlookers, although I can't say I was surprised myself. It's a little odd that snooty-pumpkins spends so much time around Lady Grefter himself, but it's for perfectly understandable reasons; he's just tutoring her in fine manners and society behavior that is so resplendent in us happy Doors. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about there.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #490 on:** July 09, 2013, 07:18:31 AM »

You lost me almost immediately.

SnowFire · « **Reply #491 on:** July 09, 2013, 07:33:52 AM »

Sure, this is more explicit:

Lady (Lord) Door & Snowfire - 23 elegance points from clothing + more money
AndrewRogue & SirAlex - 23 elegance from clothing + 3 bonus elegance from AndrewRogue's contract-closing stock market shenanigans
Grefter - 11 elegance (lol)

The courtesan was the worst-dressed, so clearly not enough was spent on her for her tastes, so she denounced whoever equipped her with the least elegance - which was AndrewRogue. By a lot. He thought he could stick his thing in Grefter for just a single piece of clothing. Shameful.

In other news. Mystara was saved thanks to the almighty power of coins trumping dragons & lichs, Laggy jumped off a tree to his demise below, I got devoured three times by a horrible Elder God (Which then devoured everyone else anyway after being woken up by the Deep Ones since Innsmouth was batshit monster central), and SirAlex & myself manhandled SirAlex & Lady Door at Tichu. 1120-80 or the like was the final score. You don't need to know the game to know that's trouble.

Grefter · « **Reply #492 on:** July 09, 2013, 09:26:47 PM »

We played a game of this.

Not gonna lie, it is pretty cool.

Lady Door · « **Reply #493 on:** July 09, 2013, 11:43:14 PM »

In conclusion, I make a much better Lord and Gentleman than I do tichu player.

New form of torture: give someone mosquito bites on the bottom of their feet. I think this may be the first time it has ever happened to me, and dear god do I hope it is the last. I can barely walk all because of two bites on the balls of my feet.

So. To clarify, I'm doing a lot better than when I had needed to seek therapy. Previous drunken ramblings were mostly drunken ramblings.

That said, the whole of my social circle that I carved out here in Amakusa is uprooting itself. I'm happy that everyone is going off to make their futures and I think everyone made the right choices for themselves, but that said I'm pretty down that all my friends are leaving. Fortunately the ones closest to me are people I will likely see again. Still, it is sad to see them folks go.

Going on Vacation in 36 hours back to New Mexico. Couldn't come at a better time. Now, more than ever, I need to be reminded why I left.

After that, starting on September 1st, I will drop off the face of the planet as far as you all is concerned. I spend too much time thinking in English, and my Japanese is not improving at the pace I'd like it to, so I'm going the total immersion route. I don't know how long I will (can?) keep it up, but hopefully doing this will let me leave here satisfied with my own progress.

GRE Scores gained!

Verbal - 153 (58 percentile)
Math - 162 (84 percentile)
Writing - 5.5 (97 percentile)

Verbal and Math are roughly what I expected; Writing I am legitimately scratching my head at how I pulled that off.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #499 on:** July 18, 2013, 04:28:15 AM »

Well, clearly "Brevity" is not an axis that GRE writing is graded on...
