Speaking of Xmas shopping and books, I got everyone on my list books. Why?
Simple:
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KPi807N19uA/ToHl0LkIqwI/AAAAAAAAAJs/m1O4XIQCxoQ/s640/11%2B-%2B1)
I got James Ellroy's LA Confidential for my dad, for a bargain £3, and for myself I got Snowball In Hell by Christopher Brookmyre, for £6, Douglas Coupland's Girlfriend In A Coma for £2 and Outlaw Journalist, The Life and Times Of Hunter S Thompson by William McKeen for £4. 4 books for £15. I really need to get rid of my old New Age/Occult books somehow. They clutter up my bookshelf and MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A MAHJIQUE TARD, which will NOT do.
Post on Craigslist that they are "charged with astral energy", and double the list price.
Eh I will just put them in a box and charge £2 a book for the whole lot I think. Or just save them for gifts for my Pagan friends.
How can people NOT like books? I get pissed I don't have enough time to read half the shit I want to!

I have a job interview for a position I know nothing about. Yeah, the temp agency didn't say a goddamn thing about WHAT the job IS.
But I'm going of course.
Also, I'm debating the proper time to ask out a hot Russian girl from my group at school. A few days after our last class? A week? Wait until I run into her in January? She's been giving me dangerous looks and making comments that suggests she likes me. She also seemed to laugh at the most of my jokes out of the other 3 very attractive ladies I was collaborating with. I'm hesitating because asking someone out through their facebook seems like a chickenshit move. I'd prefer to make such an appeal in person.
Finally, how soon is too soon to invite a date on a little trespassing mission in a vacant building? I was thinking that's a good 3rd date kind of move, especially in combination with some making out. But maybe date 5 is a bit better? I think by date 5 if a girl doesn't want to get into some shenanigans like that, we're just not going to work out.
Remember Space Cowboy? I friended him and he asked me out via FB, so it's not so bad.
And I agree with you about the abandoned building mission, and would say date 3.
ask her to grab a coffee or a beer on facebook, and then ask her on a Proper Date.
Thanks for the advice, ladies. :)
I'm on it. I just hope she has books.
Seriously, the only guy I've dated in the past 10 years who wasn't impressed by my bookshelf was Dartmouth Fett, which shouldn't surprise ANYONE. Granted, I don't think "Venice and the Islamic World" is for everyone, but it DOES have pretty pictures!
I bumped into an old friend of mine in town today who was talking about Jane Austen novels. I've never read one, but we were talking about setting up a Facebook bookclub group. I might actually do this to bring some intelligence to the evil that is FB.

Well, I'm in a little bit of a pickle professionally.
I interviewed for, and accepted a new job at my current agency. Basically it is to transition from the federal grant I'm working on now to a new one we just won. Meanwhile, I was in the process of also applying for that other job I mentioned in that thread which shall not be mentioned in the Aneristic subforum. Well, the state called me and wants to interview me. I may not actually end up being offered that job, but if I do, after I just accepted this other job, does that make me an asshole?
Should I care?
This article (http://www.betabeat.com/2011/11/23/joel-spolsky-on-techs-hiring-season-beware-the-exploding-offer/), while aimed at fresh college-graduates just entering the job market, describing a
slightly different but very similar situation, might give you some insight. Basically it agrees with ECH and Rog, and provides a bunch of arguments and discussion.

Twid,
Totally understands. Would have done the same.
Was it because they were already sitting on the toilet when they had to puke? That would have been my guess.

Unless you're absolutely sure you'll run into eachother again within a couple of days (and in a situation that allows it), I'd say right after the last class? I mean, I'd suppose that is the right "hey I really enjoyed working with you" sort of moment that would make it most natural? Plus, no sense in procrastinating these things.
As for the Xth date to be the right date to take her Y, can't help you with that because it sounds like a very specific US culture kind of thing. It's all sorts of different, even the concept of "date" :) Personally I would just see how it goes, do the first date, bring up the subject of what you do/want to do, subtly, if it comes up, see if she's interested, and if it seems not inappropriate ask if she'd like to come along doing that. <--- By that I don't mean tell or ask her on the first date, but at some point in the "dates"/meetings/togetherbeings/talking-over-coffee-during-schoolbreaks/hanging-outs/whatevers/etc when you think it's a good idea to ask, ask. Because I have no idea what it means whether something is a "3rd date sort of thing" or a "5th date sort of thing" because it all depends on which way you hit it off, which can be slow, fast or completely different from how you'd expect, but preferably
awesome.

I have yet to take the 100 class I'm required to. Fortunately, it's a major-specific one, so it shouldn't be *too* shoty-in-the-face.
100 doesn't count here, you have to take 101 and 102 for it to count toward the degree i'm going for, which is a transfer one to UofA.
Fortunately I got a 99/100 on the writing placement test, so I don't have to spend the extra cash to get into it like I do with all the math classes and science classes.
Here's a WTF for you, and I wonder if this happens at your guys' schools: Say you want to bypass the baby level of whatever subject, and you can do that by taking a test and getting so much percent on it. Do you have to enroll AND pay for the class you wanted to bypass as well? Because that's what they do here and I was like, "Fuck it, I'll just take the course later on."
Wow, no, here if you test out of a level you just go to the next level.
I tested out of all English/writing requirements.
But this is Arizona.
Still, I was gobsmacked when I was told this. There has to be some kind of misunderstanding, here. Maybe. This is ALSO the area that has "County-specific curriculum", so you have to buy many of your textbooks from the bandits & rapists at the college bookstore.
Seriously, they are going to make her pay for classes she tests out of? That's some serious bullshit.
And whether or not she takes the classes or CLEPs, there's no credits toward graduating until you reach a given level. It's a hell of a fucking racket, if it's actually that way. Either you can afford to CLEP out of everything right away, or you get to spend the same amount of money over time and take 3-4 years to get a 2 year degree.
WHAT THE FUCK???
That can't be right.
I may not understand how shit works, actually.

I seriously hope not, because if it actually works like that you'd be better off skipping community college and going right into university.
I know in RI, some credits from CCRI are NOT transferable to URI or RIC, which makes them definitely not transferable to the private schools. That has more to do with the performance of incoming CCRI students at the university level, though. I mean, if the state schools are giving you the finger...something is up.

Not all credits are transferable to all programs, which is part of why dual enrollment programs are a great idea if you can do them. But that's a different issue from forcing students to pay for classes they don't need in order to qualify for higher level classes.

Bolded is why baby level chemistry and anything below calculus won't count,
as I am interpreting it.
Also, yes I do need to speak to an advisor. Gonna do that today.
Yes, because the purpose of a CLEP exam is the ability to SAVE MONEY and skip required courses. Paying extra is total derp.

OK... but the fact that certain prereqs don't apply toward your transfer is not relevant to whether you need to take them. That's a different conversation. Either that or I am very confused.

I think both, because I'm confused reading your response which doesn't make any sense in the context of what I thought we were talking about.
Yes, they may not be eligible for transfer, but still required as pre-req's, whether you can test out of them or not. If you can't test out of them, then you HAVE to take them to get to the higher level. Yes, it sucks, it means extra work (I just had to take chemistry to get into textile science), but they're necessary for a reason.

Not exactly what the problem was, the problem was I thought you could test out of it without paying for it.
Here's what I learned today: The CLEP is the test you want to take when you know the material and don't want to go, but still want the credit for having taken it, in which case you have to show up the first day and pay for the class. The challenge test is the one where you say "Go directly to CHEM 151. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars," is completely free, lasts for two years (the lady I talked to thinks), and you do not have to sign up for the class in advance. I was getting them mixed up a little bit, but it was the challenge one I want. (I didn't even get the 45% needed to skip the class. :lol: )
Furthermore, classes that are not requisites for the degree you are after do NOT count toward you total credits, although they do count toward your total credits attempted for purposes of financial aid determination. This is good for if you are trying to get onto financial aid but have really shitty GPA or whatever, and also bad if you have taken too many classes that don't count.
They are making financial aid harder to get now (durr), so if there is anything, any little tiny thing at all, wrong with your paperwork, you will be denied financial aid. Paying attention to what exactly they ask you, and answering to the fullest extent you can, is preferrable to glossing over rough patches and saying you're all better now.
For students on financial aid probation, when they are approved they must sit down with an advisor and make a course planner. If the student deviates in any way from the planner, they are automatically denied financial aid, even if the class is paid for by themselves.
There's such thing as a book loan. Must investigate this further.

Enjoy.
(Oh, and as we all know, he ain't single.)
So... MY excitement for the evening.
I'm sitting here in my living room, minding my own business... And there's a loud fucking BANG.
Me, having lived in the shitty end of Providence for long enough, thank you very much, I do the sensible thing and hit the floor.
Couple of seconds pass, and my orange cat storms into the room and gives me the "What the FUCK, Mom?" look. (The little tortiseshell, upon said bang, dove through the room like her tail was on fire. She's still under a piece of furniture, somewhere.)
I dust myself off, check the bruise (nailed my bad knee again, goddamnit), and go look in the kitchen to see what the fuck.
Well, there's that mead, still sitting on the table, where I bottled it.
Turns out, it wasn't quite as dead as I thought it was. One of the bottles literally exploded.
For those of you who've seen my place, the bottles were on the table by the wall... and there were glass shards on the far side of the stove.
For those of you who've never cleaned up a mead spill, it's mead. It's watered honey, fermented.
The entire surface of my table was covered, along with a decent part of the floor. "Sticky" does not begin to cover it, here. They're gonna have to come up with new words for this amount of ick.
On the plus side, it smells good... And I got the caps off the rest of the bottles before they went 'splodey, so I didn't lose the whole batch.
I feel your pain, Luna! I exploded a gallon jug of would-be wine once, and shrapnel + sticky was EVERYWHERE.

Well, according to him, the new story is that we were just sleeping together to help him get back into the swing of dating, in which he then springboarded into Little Miss Eighteen, whom he's still with, and lying like a sieve to stay on this show.
But yes, that is his house, and I've totally rolled around in that bed with him. He brought out more Legos and complete rearranged his Empire Strikes Back set, I see. Under his bed is FULL of boxes of those things, which I don't have a problem with because I collect only B-Wings and Droidekas, but yes. I have actually had sex with that man. :lulz:

No, your problem is that those are the men you
accept.
Try dating a guy that doesn't have legos in his 30s. Trust me on this.
That's kinda hard with the company I keep, that's the problem. It's not always Legos. With Herbert it was games, with Oarstroker it was Warhammer armies (that he meticulously painting himself).
Joe Schmoe doesn't find my hobbies attractive, and I'm not giving them up. There is no penis in this world that's gonna stop me from what I love to do. So, either they accept it, which means that 90% of the time, they play too, or they think I'm a fucking wack job.
Suppose my brand of weird (as discussed in the other thread) is that 10% that supports what I do, but doesn't get involved, has his own things, probably sports with obscure terms involving cutters in the crease, but still, that's a small percentage to work with, and it's gonna take me a lot more trial and error to get there.
Perfect men do NOT grow on trees or spring up overnight. Hell, there may be no such thing as a perfect man, but, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess someday I'll find out.
Meanwhile, back to making fun of my ex-douche. What a tool, huh? Yep.

Try dating someone who doesn't understand your hobbies.
I know that sounds weird, but it's a vast improvement, trust me.
There is a chicken on my back porch, aggressively assaulting my door.
In other news, E.O.T. has been sick with that devastating eight-week crud that's going around, and last night Space Ninja told me that Space Cowboy told her in almost the same words the exact same thing that I feel about him, which is that he feels like I am his lost clone sister and we are practically the same person, and then I felt like :) and a little less alone in the world.

Just like Master Padraig says, "Don't date outside of the faith."
The only guy I've been with in the past TEN FUCKING YEARS that wasn't SCA was Dartmouth Fett, and all he did was rip me about it and call me a nerd.
...But my bedroom isn't full of Legos so...
I mean, shit, Herbert and I were together for 7 years, and we're still totally cool with seeing each other at events, but he's "not allowed" to go anymore anyway because his girl wants nothing of it...so, there you have it.
I'm not saying it can't work, because it can, and I do know of multiple couples in which one plays and one doesn't, and it works out great, but the majority of the time, it doesn't.
Speaking of which, Matty called last night.
I'll be in Baton Rouge from the 18-22 of January. We're getting the tickets after Christmas.

Well, yeah. Why else would he be doing a reality show about geek speed dating while he's seeing someone not even old enough to drink?
Last time I saw him, I blew him off entirely. As I was sitting in the hotel lobby on my laptop, he walked in front of me, and was talking to friends. He actually sent me a text about how I was looking at his ass. I didn't justify him with a response, and stayed glued to my computer.

Very simple, Nigel... I want someone who will be part of my life. The SCA is a big part of my life. It chews up a lot of my time, between events, meetings, and fight practices. I'm not going to give it up... And I'm not going to deal with things like, "why do you DO that?" when I come home with bruises from practice. Worse, the, "you should give up, you're no good." (Bruises from practice don't mean you're incompetent, it means that either your opponent has no control, or you're good enough to rush them.)
Am I likely to find someone outside the SCA who'd understand? No. It's possible... but if he's as opposed to at least playing, too, on some level (like DF was), it's doomed.
Giving him no attention affects him more than even negative attention.
That, and he said some shit the night before that really pissed me the hell off, and I wanted to make sure that the point was made that I wanted to be left the fuck alone. D-Cup and some other people were actually banking on me hitting him. I refrained, but it wasn't easy.
Understanding and accepting your hobbies =/= sharing your hobbies
I realize this is rich coming from a 21 year-old twerp, but it's not something to be overlooked. Many of my weekends are given over to LARP; my current GF does not LARP and probably won't ever, but she's cool with the fact that I do it. A while back, I almost got together with someone who does LARP with me. Looking back, I'm sort of glad we didn't carry through and continued being good friends, because if things had gone sour one of us would have had to quit their hobby.

How about, "I'm off to band practice for three or four hours, and this weekend I'll be in the studio mixing tracks from about noon until midnight. Have fun storming the castle!"
I mean, if you both have things to do and don't mind being away from each other, then... I see no problems.

Quote from: Cainad on December 15, 2011, 05:23:09 PM
Understanding and accepting your hobbies =/= sharing your hobbies
I never said it can't happen, but it's also not easy to find someone who DOES.
Also: I never made Herbert, GS, or Oarstroker quit the SCA. GS took off on his own accord to focus on his music instead, Herbert got put on a short leash, and Oarstroker just went on with his life with the guys in New Hampshire, and has been told he is to respect my position above his in the Order of Precedence and never raise an eye to me again. That's all. I have no place to tell anyone to beat it, and I'd be damned if I'm quitting.
Sure, it fucking hurts, but why should I give up something I love and have been involved with for the entirety of my adult life at this point because of a relationship gone sour? Boyfriends come and go. It's what dating is all about. Yeah, I just got my fucking heart ripped out last month, but I'm better now, not over it, but better. If anything, I realized I was spending way too much time focusing on him than I was school and myself. Next semester, I'm getting engaged to my degree, and in the Fall, I'm marrying my thesis. That's my point of view right now.
Cainad and LMNO are riding the correct motorcycle.
(especially the part about dating a musician, I mean.... :eek:)
But seriously, while there's nothing at all wrong with wanting someone who is completely glued to your life and hobbies, there's also nothing at all wrong with partnering with someone who has his own, different, life and hobbies, and it's completely possible to find people who are understanding and supportive of hobbies that they don't share. My best friend is neither a glassworker nor an internet troll, yet we love and support each other. I'm neither a carpenter nor a musician, and he's both.
Maybe I'm just coming from a very different perspective because I have never dated anyone who shared my major hobbies, but it seems perfectly natural and livable to me. I would probably lose my mind if I had a partner who was all up in my shit all the time.
Not to mention, christ, the drama. I could never date a glassworker, it's too small of a community.
This is why I'm kinda glad to go see Matty. He's not in the SCA or 501st. He's totally cool with me doing it, but he's more into obscure sports terms.
Could I have a long distance relationship like that? Probably not, shit, I'm not banking on anything happening down there other than sitting down and yelling at the football playoffs, honestly, since we haven't done that in over 10 years. Maybe that's all I need is that reminder that men like that can actually like me.

Cliched platitude that I know won't make you feel better about your situation, but I'm saying it anyway because it makes me feel better. Meaningless congratulations on doing so well anyway, and a statement that you deserve whatever good things come your way.

You'll be like me, lose about 10 lbs in 2 weeks from not eating regularly and living off of coffee and beer to keep your calories up. Don't worry, you gain that weight right back when it's over.
It boggles me that some people are missing something so obvious.
It doesn't MATTER if your SO shares your hobbies or is even interested in them in the slightest.
All that matters is that if they're not a complete DOUCHEBAG, they'll be supportive of whatever makes you happy.
TL;DR version: stop settling for douchebags and the problem will solve itself.

Once again, ECH cuts to the fucking chase.
Fuck, if ECHGF told me she was going camping in the woods with a bunch of guys for a week to play swordfighting, I'd be fucking THRILLED, both that she was going to do something that made her that happy and that I'd have some free time to tinker in the garage and take my dog hiking (which I love and she does not).
Relationships based on being tied to each other at the hip are doomed from the start, as are relationships that lack the minimal amount of trust required to not freak the fuck out when your SO goes to do something fun without you.

Someone from - or related to - here just prank called me at work.
I'm in the process of finding out who the fuck that was (here, totse, whatever). When I do, what happens next will not be internet-related.
That shit ain't cool.
No, it isn't. If this winds up causing me any sort of trouble, then things are going to get really fucking ugly.
And I don't mean in internets terms.
Yes, and this is precisely why I went dark a little while back. You just don't ever know when it comes to the internet, which is why I try to exercise as much caution as possible.

It's always sad (read: hilarious) when Internet Tough Guys have to find out the hard way how poorly that translates to IRL.
Just once I wish someone would try that crap on me. I'd probably be able to get them visited by some jackboots. :lulz:

How did they even get that number? I mean, I know you have two cells, one for work and one for home, right? I only have one number so it doesn't matter, but...yeah. Still. That means they're diggin' where they shouldn't. Uncool.

It boggles me that some people are missing something so obvious.
It doesn't MATTER if your SO shares your hobbies or is even interested in them in the slightest.
All that matters is that if they're not a complete DOUCHEBAG, they'll be supportive of whatever makes you happy.
TL;DR version: stop settling for douchebags and the problem will solve itself.
This might be taking it extreme since my ex was a really controlling asshole, but when I was going through my pagan-y phase (mind you I wasn't dancing around in circles pointing athames at everyone, just reading a few books out of curiosity) he caught me bringing a book to work to read, grabbed it, tore it in half and threw it in the trash because it was "bullshit" or some such thing (regardless of any truth in that statement, I was just reading a book, luckily not one I borrowed from the library), didn't like me playing video games and generally mocked most hobbies or interests I had.
Current BF, when first saw one of those books lying around made some joke about sacrificing goats then went on to say that he thought it was cool I liked to read up on different things. He doesn't like RPG's but could care less if I play them. He won't be sitting there cross-stitching with me, but he thinks it's cool. We DO have a lot in common that we like to do together, but he encourages me to go out and do things that I'm interested in too, even if he's not (admittedly, still working on that part - old habits die hard apparently).
Not saying these other guys are/were douchebags AND abusive, but definitely douchebags if they can't support you doing something that you find fun, regardless of whether they like it.
Exactly. If ECHGF decided she was into that stuff, regardless of how ridiculous I think it is I'd just be like "OK, well just try not to get any goat's blood on our carpets and let me know if I have to make enough dinner to feed the whole coven."
If AGSO had a problem with and interfered with my hobbies and interests, they would cease to be AGSO. Pretty much end of story.
Admittedly, I kind of have a hair trigger regarding controlling people, though.

QuotePolice arrested a man who allegedly assaulted three people with a blue light saber at a Hayden Island Toys R Us Wednesday night.
A 9-1-1 caller reported the incident about 9:50 p.m. and said the man was inside the store, 1800 Jantzen Beach Center, swinging the "Star Wars" weapon of choice at customers, said Sgt. Pete Simpson, a spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau. While the caller was on the phone, the man then left the store — light saber in hand — and walked out to the parking lot.
Officers tried to arrest the man, but he kept swinging the light saber at them, Simpson said. One tried to use his Taser on the suspect but the device didn't work.
Another officer used his Taser and made contact, but the man knocked one of the wires away with the light saber.
The officers finally arrested the man after grabbing him and pinning him to the ground. The suspect, identified only as a 33-year-old Hillsboro man, was treated by medics at the scene and taken to an area hospital for a mental evaluation. He faces "several criminal charges" after he is evaluated, Simpson said.
None of the victims of the light saber assault needed medical attention, Simpson said.
I need to get this paper written between now and tomorrow before I go to the doc.

Simple truth, man. Having dealt with jealousy issues, seeing it out there that they don't exist everywhere is a good thing.
I registered for classes today; math, sociology, and philosophy.
Unfortunately they are still saying that I am not eligible for financial aid due to "failure to progress" so I have to go down there and fill out a form or something.
There's apparently a Republican debate scheduled for tonight.
Someone make a drinking game of it and report back to me with the results. I'm balls deep in books about Confederate women right now.

Cars are stupid. We should have stuck with horses. I bet they never broke down, and if they did you could just birth fresh ones. Easy.
I find it weird that my ex-husband exists in Wikipedia.
It still irritates me that he has kept my name.
Fuck this. I'm about half way done with the paper. I just lost my focus today. As long as it's in by midnight tomorrow, I'm fine. I just have to hussle out some pages in the morning before I go to the doctor, and then finish it all sorts of loopy.
I can do this shit. I'm a goddamn industry professional.
I know I already mentioned this, and it's totally irrelevant to everything, but I am still tripping on the fact that Space Cowboy described how he feels about me using the exact same words I've used about him. We're secret clones of each other. :)
LOVE.
We'll never be together again in a romantic sense, and I am glad that he's found his crazy tiny Ducati-riding Space Ninja, but I'm so happy that he feels that way too. Because it feels like not ever really being alone. It's hard to explain, but when we talk about our child and teen years, it's like we were there for each other.
I am starting to sound a little woo-woo, but it's not like that...

Plus, there's no rule that says your soulmate has to be your lover. Ever. It kind of reminds me of Travisses and I, but he's so wrapped up in Stick-Girl that I never see him anymore. :(
Also, I got my first quasi-pro review back from my draft:
QuoteWhile reading this, I was automatically looking for a critical depth that wasn't there. I had to remind myself that this wasn't anything pseudo-intellectual, and that there was no message here. Frankly, more books today need to be like this. Not everyone has a message to the world, some just want to tell a great story to let their reader escape reality for a few minutes at a time, and that's just what this is. You have a great grasp of the time period, a period that is unfortunately almost ignored in literature (It is the "forgotten empire" after all) which is unfortunate, since it's gonna be a hard sell, and you know and I know that some idiot is going to write a review on Amazon all hot-like that you used the term "Roman" instead of "Byzantine" in the book, even though us smart people know it's the same thing and you even GIVE AN EXPLANATION IN THE INTRODUCTION. Anyways, I'm going back and starting on the hard edit, this is when I have to stop being nice. Yes, I liked the story, now I have to make you hate me.
This is when my high horse is about to get knocked down a few feet. :kingmeh:
Post the rest of it!
You know, bad reviews are a writers best friend. Reviews that detail every horrible way in which you failed are THE BEST.
I wrote a terrible book with a completely unsympathetic lead character and my editor friend ripped it so badly after my second draft that I realized it was better suited for my diary, and scrapped the fucker. It made me a much better writer.
Got woken up an hour ago by a student. It's not even 6am now.
Bonus fun: as I was falling asleep half an hour ago, he woke me up again. Fuck I'm glad he's going home this morning, the little shit.
On the plus side, there should only be six people left on my floor tonight, meaning check-in is going to be awesome.
Why is there no reasonable way to say "hey, I know you didn't offer a means of contacting you when you left that anonymous love-letter at my house and that you didn't TECHNICALLY sign it but I'm just leaving this letter at YOUR house to say 'hey, let's hang out' after tracking you down like a TOTAL FUCKING CREEPER crossed with an awesome detective because I had to use Google and a bunch of other things (some of which might have been slightly over the top, but I got carried away with the challenge, knowing all the while that there would be no acceptable way of utilising the information I gathered)."
Oh, I suppose I understand why there's no reasonable way to say that.
It was a good exercise in Google-fu, though.

The review? That's all I got, he's going back and editing it now. I trust him, he's doing what he has to do, so I'm not mad. I haven't gotten anything bad yet, it's the critical shit that comes next.
In other news, I just got called into work, because despite me calling them all day yesterday to go in and finish my work, no one was home, so they need me in like, now.

Oh Jesus Christ, DF is having a viewing party for that fucking show on Sunday.
Out of 174 invited, only 4 are going, and the comments are superb!
"I have to wash my hair." <--- This guy is bald.
"I have another party to go to."
"I have to pull X-Wing parts. You know, heat up sintra and get the vac table going...tedious."
"Thanks for the invite, but I'm not driving from Lowell to Nashua on a Sunday night when I have to do it again in the morning. Sorry." (The towns are right next to each other.)
"If I had cable, I would just watch it on TV at home."
...Should I be laughing at this?
Yes.

Hi gaise!
So busy!! Is a good thing and a bad thing.
I've had all week off of work but I have barely had a chance to sit down. I found all the furniture components I needed for my dining room (hooray) and have been working on fixing them up nice.
Still need a second coat of paint in there and haven't got the kitchen painted yet. so much to do. But at least they're small enjoyable projects and not huge problematic ones.
Can't say I want to buy another house any time in the future. Think I'll stay put for ... ever.
Having a "ladies" get together this weekend to do crafty stuff. I need a break.
Christmas is going to be at my house this year. I'm making a ham and non traditional sides. They can deal.
Also Darnell won't quit peeing on my stuff. Listen guy, I know you're upset about your penis being gone, but you're kind of shitting where you eat. Pee stinks, and I'm sick of walking around with paper towels and windex.

Also Darnell won't quit peeing on my stuff. Listen guy, I know you're upset about your penis being gone, but you're kind of shitting where you eat. Pee stinks, and I'm sick of walking around with paper towels and windex.
I better get the grand tour of this place, woman.
You bet your ass you will. There's all kinds of homebrew you need to try.
LOL LMNO!

Hi gaise!
So busy!! Is a good thing and a bad thing.
I've had all week off of work but I have barely had a chance to sit down. I found all the furniture components I needed for my dining room (hooray) and have been working on fixing them up nice.
Still need a second coat of paint in there and haven't got the kitchen painted yet. so much to do. But at least they're small enjoyable projects and not huge problematic ones.
Can't say I want to buy another house any time in the future. Think I'll stay put for ... ever.

My sister will be THRILLED that you get me all drunk. Again. Lawl.
Just feed her, that makes her shut up.
Helping the police with their enquiries while sleep deprived. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Damnit. I really want a coffee but I can't caffeinate myself.

Someone's room got allegedly broken into.
I'm having problems feeling bad about this since:
a) he is never here,
b) he's a lying little shit,
c) his parents live on a mountain made of solid gold and diamonds (or might as well do), and, most importantly,
d) he woke me up at 4:45 this morning
Totally fucked up my sleep. And I'm going to be up hella late tonight, so I'm not impressed.

I am full of rant right now, but too tired to articulate it.

OIC. Yeah, sounds like an adventure.
Compiling Christmas baking list. Currently, looking like I'll be making enough to feed close to twenty people and making forty-ish batches of cookies total (eighteen different foods), based on my incomplete list.
4 pages left to meet the minimum on my final...feeling much more confident now in my ability to finish this.

Half of my Christmas list for other people is food based. In fact, I'm about to start on some BLANABA BURD.
:lulz: DO IT.
I don't know if I can start this weekend, thought I'd like to get the things that are shippable done first (most of it is going to people who live out of town).

Yeah, Enabler's been at making cookies all week. I believe she's made around 20 batches of cookies so far, mostly to the out of town people.
Smart woman. I've been focused on school so I hadn't even done more than do a bit of thinking about what to send. I need to make a list and commandeer a parental unit/sibling for pack animal purposes at the grocery store before I really get started.

Most definitely. It helps Enabler and Roger's mom to do one kind per day, I think, but they do quadruple recipes and a couple batches each day, so...
I'm going to try to cram as many of the only-one-batch-of-this recipes into each day as possible before I start on the big time ones (like the hundred of pecan puffs that are going to result!).

Urgh. I'm not quite that bad...yet. But I've been dealing with taxis, overprotective parents, overzealous airline staff and school buearucrats for the last three days in particular, in addition to having to see students off at all hours. Today in particular was annoying because although, in theory, I can sleep during the day, in practice, nearly everyone took today off, and I was having people knocking on my door every half hour.
So my plan to go back to sleep by 9:30 was actually delayed by about 4 hours. And then I had an hour and a half long meeting, followed by helping the police above. Now I'm just looking forward to tomorrow at 1pm, when it'll all be over.

sorry too far away to feed you.

PUBLISHED WOO! First publication is "in print", by which I mean it was published through a peer reviewed, open access journal and is now available. Been working on this short manuscript for the last year (short papers are suprisingly painful to get published), and now I'm a scientist in the academic sense...or something like that...
I mean, it's really cool to be able to say I have added to the pool of literature which is natural history.
CONGRATULATIONS KAI!!!

I hope, one day, to achieve the same thing. But you know, rocks instead of bugs.

Speaking of, I just got special permission from an instructor to take a senior tutorial course in remote sensing :D
It's weird, I feel like I've barely worked this week but I just took pictures of 29 bracelet beads and I still have 14 focals, 4 sets, 20 pairs of earrings, and 72 glass headpins to photograph, plus I just pulled 12 more focals out of my kiln for capping and coring.
How did I do this? :?

Come to the dark side, Cainad. The dark side is stronger, messier, and has a higher chance of becoming mad science.
I can't believe I'm still writing this fucking paper. This source article I'm using is awful, my head is pounding, my vagina and groin muscles are killing me (gonna be worse tomorrow), and I can't take anything "good" until this paper is done.

weird.
Pineapples are a big to-do in Rhode Island. They're a symbol of hospitality and it was tradition to place a pineapple on someone's front step to welcome them home from a voyage during colonial times. A lot of houses in Newport and on the Eastside of Providence also have pineapples carved above their doors.
And then we have this up the street from me:

This is really. Just.
I have been on a reading rampage lately and it's only five and three teenage girls are making a mess in my kitchen baking cake and I am very very tempted to take a bottle of wine and a book into my room and ignore everything and read.
But they will probably set the kitchen on fire.
Oh now we are decorating the tree. I for a split second almost reached for the phone to text ML to ask if he remembered who hid the pickle last year. :cry:
We don't have a pickle on our tree. We have the TackTM instead.
Though now there are 2 Tacks. We will never get the 3rd back, alas...

Honestly though, the USA was founded by aristocrat republicans obsessed enough with Rome to not only take pen-names of Roman authors and politicians they identified with, but also set up their new country in a manner similar to the Roman Republic (with a few Enlightenment era philosophical additions).
But comparing it to Rome is
badwrong. Because the Romans had an Empire, and
empires are badwrong, m'kay? Which is why America doesn't have one. But if it did, it would be a good one, built on proper liberal values. Because America is nothing like Rome.
Also, inventory check is complete. My work phone is now switched off and I'm not checking my emails.

Honestly though, the USA was founded by aristocrat republicans obsessed enough with Rome to not only take pen-names of Roman authors and politicians they identified with, but also set up their new country in a manner similar to the Roman Republic (with a few Enlightenment era philosophical additions).
But comparing it to Rome is badwrong. Because the Romans had an Empire, and empires are badwrong, m'kay? Which is why America doesn't have one. But if it did, it would be a good one, built on proper liberal values. Because America is nothing like Rome.
"There was an idea that was Rome."
Americans never spread across a continent, assimilating cultures, getting into wars with neighboring lands or you know, even considered building a wall at the furthest reaches. Why would they do that?
Indeed, it's not like America has a commander who leads the country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperator), an aristocratic Senate (http://www.forbes.com/2006/11/17/senate-politics-washington-biz-wash_cx_jh_1120senate.html) or Tribune of the Plebians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives) and an economy inextricably linked to war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_industrial_complex).
Such comparisons are silly, and obscure more than they reveal.
ROMA AETERNA EST.
Rome is eternal.
I didn't write that shit. They did. They knew what they were doing. The Romans obviously had some kind of world dominating conspiracy going on. I mean, it's not like the torch got passed from Rome, to Constantinople, to Moscow, to Washington or anything...That's crazy talk. You couldn't possibly transplant an American in Ancient Rome and expect them to survive, or vice versa. THEY AREN'T AT ALL ALIKE. Rome also had gay people, who had orgies, and were pagan.
Oh, and what did Octavian call himself?
Princeps Civitatis
First Citizen?
Wow, that doesn't sounds like the president at all.
Which indeed is nothing like America's political elite all gathering at Bohemnian Grove to burn effigies for a giant Owl Moloch (which none other than Nixon criticized for being "stupid" and full of "fags"). One is merely frat pranks, whereas the other Really Believed In. It is impossible both are just rather strange bonding ceremonies for the political-business-media elite.
And no Christian upper class could ever be comprised of men who have had frequent gay sex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty#England), it is true.
WASHINGTON DIVINA URBS?
Also, the Roman economy was heavily dependent on slave labour. America doesn't engage in slavery any more (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8289). Explain THAT, historitards!

Of course, in these days of eternal war, Presidents are often referred to by their supporters as "commander-in-chief". Which is of course nothing like Imperator.
I had a dream last night that Villager and I were trying to figure out what the best martial art is.
So we got this big Bible sized book about all the martial arts, and I took a gun out and shot it. Then we turned to the page where the bullet stopped.

This is where Rome wins: Their slaves were giving citizenship after so much time in service. American slaves were freed, only to be given no rights and put right back into share-cropping.

I seriously just had the most painful sneeze in her life.
God I hate online dating. I don't even know why I bother.
A thing I HATE is when an online guy wants my number, and it makes sense to give it to him because we have already agreed to meet for beer, and then he wants to have a fucking text conversation. Look dude, I don't know you, save it for the date OK? Or when we haven't met yet and they want to see my website & shit. Fuck off. Basically, I am a distant bitch and I don't want to have anything to do with them until after we've met in person and decided we want to go out again.
Plus, I think a lot of people see it as a "competition", and the best man will win. That's not actually the case at all; usually I end up dating no one, because none of them click with me. If a guy doesn't click with me I'm not going to keep seeing him whether there's anyone "better" on the horizon or not. Some people seem to be weird about it. Like one guy who said in a message, before we even went on one date, that he's not the kind of guy who dates a bunch of people and then picks one; he just focuses on one person at a time and expects the same treatment. Since I am the kind of person who goes out with a bunch of people until I meet one I click with, I just dropped correspondence. I'm not going to be exclusive with some guy I've never even met, that's ridiculous. Basically anyone who places expectations on someone they haven't met, or have only gone on a few dates with, has issues I don't want to deal with.
Sorry for the rant.
Im out of here for three weeks due to Christmas. Next semester doesn't seem as bad as this one so I'm sure I'll be around more next semester.

I caught a steel bulkhead cutout in the kidney earlier today.
It seems, though, that the more beer I drink the less blood I pee, so I guess it's OK.

A contusion can cause that. It can also fuck up your kidney (like mine)
There isn't much you can do but drink lots of liquid (whatever form really)
If it gets worse, go to doctor though. Hopefully it's nothing serious
ECH's kidney is contused. It hurts itself in its contusion.
I hope you're ok too, ECH.

The Feds still haven't approved me for the new federal grant, which is good, since I still have the interview for the other job.
I was really hoping it would drag out over the holidays so I could get an official offer, or not, from the State so I could officially turn this job down before it is official, official.
But the boss comes in and says he's trying to get the Feds to fast-track. And to do this he told them a "white lie" saying I was offered another job.
What he doesn't know is that this may indeed become true in a few days.

It still isn't a LOT of money, but it's incentive to do well to move up.
It's a pretty big company that seems to care about morale. I'm not used to that.

The beer is piss, the weed is moldy and won't light, the traffic always sucks even - especially - after road "improvements", you can't buy a decent car, the liberals are all arch-conservatives and the conservatives are all barking mad. We are hemmed in by prison walls made out of "box stores" and strip malls that are all the same and fast food restaurants. There's no fucking end to it, and anyone who suggests that there might be a better way is labeled a terrorist.
The sun is too bright, someone turned the gravity up, and we're all fucked up on one drug or another, just to make us forget the stark horror of being alive in America in 2011. Our jobs - those of us that have jobs - make us work 70+ hours a week for the privilege of having somewhere to sleep, and gas money to get to said job, and not much else. There's no fucking end to it. This is not the future we were promised, where robots would do all the shit work, and we'd fly around with jetpacks.

But then I take my pills, and everything gets a little better, and what's all the fuss about, right? Gonna sit here and listen to the radio. They're playing an add for more pills, and then there'll be MUSIC, music written for wide-eyed young "discoveries" to sing to me while I melt out of my own asshole. Deep, moving songs about teardrops on her guitar and maybe even some Katy Perry singing about California girls that will, I am told, "melt your popsickle".

We are hemmed in by prison walls made out of "box stores" and strip malls that are all the same and fast food restaurants. There's no fucking end to it, and anyone who suggests that there might be a better way is labeled a terrorist.
The sun is too bright, someone turned the gravity up, and we're all fucked up on one drug or another, just to make us forget the stark horror of being alive in America in 2011. Our jobs - those of us that have jobs - make us work 70+ hours a week for the privilege of having somewhere to sleep, and gas money to get to said job, and not much else. There's no fucking end to it. This is not the future we were promised, where robots would do all the shit work, and we'd fly around with jetpacks. Instead, we got Twitter and ipads and 500 channels of shit to watch on the television.
It makes me want to puke or maybe find whomever is responsible and choke the dogshit out of them.
But then I take my pills, and everything gets a little better, and what's all the fuss about, right? Gonna sit here and listen to the radio. They're playing an add for more pills, and then there'll be MUSIC, music written for wide-eyed young "discoveries" to sing to me while I melt out of my own asshole. Deep, moving songs about teardrops on her guitar and maybe even some Katy Perry singing about California girls that will, I am told, "melt your popsickle". And then everything's all right again, here in this best of all possible worlds.
I love Big Brother.

Woke up this morning to horrendous cramps.
What happened next, I won't describe, but I assure you, I thought my cervix was falling out.

Vaginas. Self-cleaning. Just like ovens! :x
As of now, I am going to post all the fascinating things that go on with MY plumbing.
Since it's apparently a fit topic for discussion and all.
I RETURN VICTORIOUS! All my paperwork is filled out and turned in, I am officially a full time student!
I have to go back at 2 to talk to an adviser.

Pshaw. Domestic beer is fucking delicious.
If you disagree, you might be in a sub-par country.
Such as Canada.

Oh BTW, I accepted a job with another company this morning. With normal hours, more money and a lot of growth opportunities (which I know aren't bullshit cause a lot of friends work there and have all been promoted at some point).
It still isn't a LOT of money, but it's incentive to do well to move up.
It's a pretty big company that seems to care about morale. I'm not used to that.
I think the bank is giving us bagels for a xmas party. Fuck them.
I may light a match on my way out. There's a LOT of paper in there.
Yay, congratulations! You really, really, really deserve a better job!

This is amazing and deserves its own thread so it doesn't get lost in the trimming.

S'okay. I've been hanging out at Capitol Grilling all day, because they have about twice as much traffic as this place.
:lulz:
I mean, there's only a half a dozen members left at CG, but they sometimes post stuff, as opposed to VIEWing all day. The F5 button on my computer is all fucking worn out, so I give up. I'll be here, but I'll rant somewhere else. I mean, the main idea of a rant is to spur conversation, and NOBODY HERE FUCKING TALKS. They all VIEW. ALL FUCKING DAY. It's just beginning to GET ON MY FUCKING ASS A LITTLE, you know?
I mean, it would fucking USE UP THEIR INTERBUTTS to even just say "hi" or post what's up or maybe RESPOND to the threads they endlessly VIEW.
Christ, I fucking hate people. I hate them like each and every one of the passive little shitheads were Hitler's personal fartcatchers.
Fuck this. I give up.
Why did the capacitor kiss the diode?
Because he couldn't resistor!

Did I ever tell you the one about the plumber?
Hey Roger, I'm busy working on phase two of a labor intensive art project.
I'm on an inward trip at the moment—it's not conducive to formulating posts.
May butts be upon your face.

I'm right there with ya, man. Inward trip, from this day forward.
I'm conducting an experiment. It requires me to lock this stupid fucking thread. And any subsequent attempts to make another Open Bar-type thread.
I will be interested to see the results of that experiment.
