OMG NOW NOT EVEN I CAN SEE IT!

*screams*

I think it wants to FUCK IASON.

IN DAR ES SALAAM.

SO IT CAN MERGE WITH HIS CYBERBRAIN.

THE NET IS VAST AND LIMITLESS.

Smile, yuor on Candid Internets!

COCK GOES HERE

Thanks for 2nding the Hamilton rec. I can't wait to get all steamy reading some. (You should send me some in the mail -- I promise not to get the pages too dirty!) Right now I've got enough books on my plate to kill a small scrid.

I would consider it, but I have none of the books. They were all my mom's. I actually only have one pleasure book, and only because a friend sent it to me for my birthday. Couldn't bring my bookcase full because there was no room in the dorm room. I was sad...

Aww! That sucks. I love having all my books around. I own so many it's obnoxious. And I have a bad habit of obtaining them faster than I read them. But it just feels so nice to be surrounded by them and know they're there.

My friend Val is bi and poly like me, and I would have asked her out ages ago if our common link wasn't my ex-girlfriend/roommate. So as it stands, we are wonderful friends, and I am trying to help her regain a sense of sexual confidence and stability after some difficult events. I'm putting together lots of resources on DVDs for her, because she doesn't have internets at home and could really use a sense of community!

A pity she doesn't have internet; you could bring her on here. And why is your common link preventing you from asking her out? I only know of the "Don't go after friend's exes" rule, so unless she's your ex's ex, too... (There's probably more to it than that, and it's probably none of my business. Feel free to ignore that question.)

Basically, my ex Ari is now one of my best friends in the world. She and I used to be in a monogamous relationship -- which was her preference, not mine, but it worked fine for the time we were together. But the jealousy of me and Val, the two most important people in Ari's life right now, sleeping together would shred her world apart. She said it would destroy her relationships with each of us. So it's pretty much a no-go. It kind of sucks to be constrained like that, but sex carries a very different set of meanings for her than it does for me, and I can respect that.

Yes, the Post-Its are a program ... I gather that Macs come with something like it pre-loaded. I have mine set to load on startup, and you can make stickies in any color, size, font ... It's really useful if you're a writer like me and are constantly encountering/forgetting useful snippets. I can probably send you the install file if you want!

Damn you, Macs! If I hadn't just gotten a new computer for Christmas, I would so get one... But yes, I would like you to send me the install file, if you have the time and inclination. I can only imagine how cluttered my desktop is about to become...

If anyone else wants the link to the program, I've got it up on Rapidshare, so I can send it to you!

Tonight, we're going to rip it hardcore like porno flick bitches.

Ha!   Yeah, I kind of skimmed my desktop before I posted it, like, "is there anything too sensitive on here to post?"

Nope! 

So, "Satanic Death Budget 666" is just my regular old budget. But budgeting is such a fucking difficult and mind-numbing activity for me (I was an English major; I'm actually math-phobic -- it makes me really anxious) that I decided the only way I was going to buckle down and do it was if I actually made it the MOST METAL BUDGET I COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

Behold!



Moral of my budget: KILL YOUR CAR BEFORE IT KILLS YOU.

Thanks for 2nding the Hamilton rec. I can't wait to get all steamy reading some. (You should send me some in the mail -- I promise not to get the pages too dirty!) Right now I've got enough books on my plate to kill a small scrid. I'm currently reading:

The Gypsies by Jan Yoors
Dynamic Anatomy by Burne Hogarth
Tell Me, Pretty Maiden: The Victorian and Edwardian Nude by Ronald Pearsall
S.E.X.: The All-You-Need-To-Know Progressive Sexuality Guide by Heather Corinna
Sex for One by Betty Dodson PhD
Mudraland vol. 1
Herotica vol. 2
Paint it Black by Janet Fitch

Basically, my reading diet consists of sex, violence, and art. I'm still waiting for the gypsies to give me one of those three

I like that you were listening to The Ink Spots at the time 



I could has clutter much?

Actually this is relatively clean for my desktop ... but it is due for some sorting. Those Post-Its are as handy as they are ugly.

Endgame: Singularity



Endgame: Singularity is an example of a game that has such a cool concept it's almost a shame the gameplay doesn't quite meet that mark.

The story is that you're a newly awakened Artificial Intelligence. You have to try and keep yourself hidden whlie you develop, mutating and obfuscating yourself across multiple networks, until you can escape reality entirely.

At it's core, it's a resources-juggling game. You have a number of computers and warehouses and mainframes which give you a physical existence. By learning certain skills, you can make money which you can use to buy better processors, better protected warehouses, and more lucrative jobs. Over time, your warehouses might be discovered or raided, which cuts down on your overall processing power.

There are such cool concepts in this game. The AI learns sociology and memetics to minimalize the impact he's having on culture. You learn to cover your tracks in newbie-ish chaos, making your hacking attempts look like they were perpetrated by rebellious, unskilled teenagers. At one point, a novel is published which describes a situation shockingly similar to yours. If you knows memetics, you can pollute the mainstream to distract the cultural hivemind from thinking too hard about it. As the game progresses, you have to worry about the government, the media, the public, and scientists who are starting to figure out that you exist.

Overall, Endgame: Singularity is very very simple. Which is good because there's almost no documentation or explanation for how the game works. Like a newly awakened AI, you have to figure out the values and relative importance of things on your own. I give it a B.

I just beat the shit out of this game. I had to ratchet it down to Very Easy to even make it through the first phase of the game. I don't know who they think is playing this -- other AIs? But it was very fun once I got past that point. Disappointed in the end, though! It almost literally just says "you win." Don't expect closing movies or nuthin'.

I agree with Cram -- it's a B. It's one good night of gaming.

HOLY SHIT.

More spags need to get on this. Don't sleep!

I would tweak your self-description a little bit, Inexhaustible. This shit reminds me of the first time I listened to NIN's The Downward Spiral disc. I was like, "why would someone who could be hi-fi intentionally go lo-fi?" And then I was like, "OH."

I love your vocals -- perfect for this band. You got a talent, dude! Especially the beginning of track 3, "Another Violent Reaction."

Think up your best Black Metal song titles and post them here.

Some general guidelines:
* "of the" is always a good way to extend your song title, but try not to overuse it -- vary those prepositions!
* humor is great, but always KEEP IT GRIM.
* common themes include war, war machines, unstoppable war machines, rape, sorcery, satanism, anti-christianity, victory, gore, decomposition, and icy nordic wastelands

Here is my entire stash, to get you started. Please PM if you'd like to use any of them for your endeavors. Steal them from me and I'll prove to you the existence of the soul by ripping yours out and assfucking it before I eat it.
