For my part, I've replaced optimism and believing the best of people by default with a grin and the absolute 100% certainty that if they cannot find a pig to fuck, they will buy some bacon and play oinking noises on YouTube.

Moving to the Portland area at the end of the year-ish. Probably smack-dab in the middle of NaNo. Which will be entertaining. Looking at the Gresham area. Beaverton is right out. Fuck that place. Whee!

Portland Portland?

Make sure you tell Nigel all about your NaNoWriMo. She LOVES it.

OK, just wrecked my throat by talking for half an hour nonstop for my latest Youtube video.

Just editing it now to test for sound levels etc but I should be able to upload it for tomorrow.  You may want to watch once it is up, as it has pertinent information about what I'll be doing with the channel in the near future.

It also has some gameplay, so if you mostly watch my videos for that, you can see me solo most of a round after my team mates ignobly snuff it, like the scrubs they are.

Excellent!

I don't even play, I just put it on and listen to you talk.  :lol:

Ah, but you should watch this one.  I'm playing a lizard in a trenchcoat with a laser-based sniper rifle that melts things.

Also, cheesy scanning devices that let me see enemies through cover (and shoot them) and big-ass explosions.  It doesn't get much cooler than that.

I will say, any games that allow a) scanning through walls and b) cover penetrating weapons is just asking for trouble.  This isn't as cheesy as the time I used drill rounds on the Javelin sniper rifle with a high velocity barrel (combined cover penetration of 4.85 metres), but it's close.

I will, eventually, do a Mass Effect playthrough, so all of you can know the storyline behind what I'm playing.  Just not straight away.

Yeah, well, won't ever be speaking to St Mae again.

Wow, really? Missed that. She's LO's aunt.

Yeah, it's unfortunate.  I won't be throwing much shit all over the walls, but I don't take kindly to being told I'm not an actual person.  Didn't know about her being LO's aunt.  Makes the whole thing worse.

Autumn = St Mae, yes?

I believe so.

Sometimes I think the whole "You disagree with me, therefor you are not being serious" issue is one of the things ruining the world... and then I think it's probably always been like this.  I mean shit, I disagree with people all the time... at least I give them the respect of believing they actually hold their opinions.

Yeah, definitely.  Once you rule out cancer, the options can only look better.

Yeah, but his prognosis just got a lot better. It may be a benign tumor or bone spur, but now they can go in and take care of it without threat of malignancy. He's going to live to be a grownup, that's all that matters.

So because Janus happened on the first day of classes, I've only been to Microbiology. General Bio II is tonight, I log into the Algebra class tomorrow (14 days free access to MyMathLab, payday is Thursday), and Saturday is Intro to Biotech.

Applied for FAFSA for 2014-2015, but I think my eligibility for the Pell Grant through BHCC will run out in Fall (when I reach the maximum amount of allowable credits), and so, aside from settling into classes, I'll be looking into whether non-government grants and scholarships are allowable after that point, or start making my case for "LOL JUST KIDDING ABOUT THE HISTORY DEGREE" or, you know. Consider transferring to UMass Boston earlier.

And internships. Looking into internships.

Yes, you demonstrated that courtesy during the atheism debate.

Thing is, I don't like being told that I have no agency any more than anyone else does.  If she had said, "NO, YOU'RE WRONG", that would have been one thing.  But I was told that I was "just a troll" and my opinion was not actually an opinion and thus carries no weight.
