Last post in 14th and first in 15th Ain't I da man? :D Unless some freak stole my place! But I got to be me, the number of random babbling wich we are now is my age! "now That was a truly useless post, but I'm still pround of it" edit nah I'm truly the first /edit edit two, Matrix revolution is to be out five of the eleven mount of the two thousand and three year after the Christ :) :p :rolleyes: :cool: :D [ October 28, 2003, 00:39: Message edited by: Ofelix ] Grovflab Tue, 28th Oct '03, 12:54am Nope, it's two thousand and two! Modern time counting begins with year one, meaning that there has never been a year zero, and so it is only two thousand and two years since christ. fade Tue, 28th Oct '03, 12:59am Wow, humm, what to say? Dunno, need to start writing my paper though. /me sings LALALALALALAAA Shura Tue, 28th Oct '03, 1:58am AHA! My earliest post ever on one of these threads! Woohoo! Ofelix Tue, 28th Oct '03, 2:14am Maybe, maybe but we still say 2003, and beside the world has much ore than 2003 years. Wow, humm, what to say? Dunno, need to start writing my paper though. This is the sort of post I like...! AHA! My earliest post ever on one of these threads! Woohoo! Congrat! Well what to say? oh yeah Nirvana Music RULE! Oaz Tue, 28th Oct '03, 3:43am Walked in rain. Mud. Hour long. Traffic. Wet. Cold. Dirty. Poopy. Aldazar Tue, 28th Oct '03, 3:48am What Shura said - this is the first time I ever got in early here...having a real good week now. Was average - I got a call for my second job interview in the past week (actually my second in about 7 years) and I thought that was great until now. This just caps it all off. Rotku Tue, 28th Oct '03, 6:07am 8th yay! Highest I've ever got! And Oaz, what's wrong with walking in the rain and mud?! It's fun! Aikanaro Tue, 28th Oct '03, 7:11am Ah, but Jesus wasn't born 2003 or 2002 years ago... Rotku Tue, 28th Oct '03, 8:52am Did he even exist? Arabwel Tue, 28th Oct '03, 9:40am Next time I say "What could go wrong?" Eze, PLEASE kill me. GOt my wallet snatchd, my train ticket, passport and whatnot included. Although I HAD spent all my cash :D On the good side, however, got myself a nice box with PST, BG and Fallout 2. Go me! Being torn between playings.... Went to see Kill Bill, too. Now why was I thinking of Shura during the entire movie? :D Grovflab Tue, 28th Oct '03, 11:36am Ara, sad thing about your wallet. It's just about the worst thing to lose. Men should never wear their wallets in the back pocket. It's just too easy to take that way. Oh well, today: "Kill Bill" Tomorrow: "Max Payne 2" The day after tomorrow: "Does it really matter?" Arabwel Tue, 28th Oct '03, 11:54am This one was pickpocketed by some guy who came hitting on me... I told him to "sod off" and turned pointedly away,a t which point he apparently managed to snatch it from the pocket of my coat. :/ Thankfully, the entire wallet is useless... my ATM card's pin isn't there, and even if he gussed my account deosn't have enough money for a withdrawal. My passpor will become invalid in less than three months, and there was less than 50 cents' worth of cash. Ha, ha, HA! sarcasm* But it DID prove that I should never say "What could go wrong?" Sure,t he ship did npot sink, but... Also, acquired a new favourite drink: Strawberry Daiquiri :D Aikanaro Tue, 28th Oct '03, 12:03pm Jesus existed, whether he was the son of god or not is up for debate... I have discovered that I am allergic to pretty much everything in the known universe. Arabwel Tue, 28th Oct '03, 12:40pm *hugs Aik* Welcome to the club... I found out about a month ago that I am allergic to pollen, hay, cats, dogs, nuts, milk, wheat, eggs, soy and who knows what else. Grouse, ehh? :/ THe pain of disobeying the order to avoid these is great.... something akin to having fire ants crawling all over me :/ Eze Tue, 28th Oct '03, 12:44pm Ara: Ouch. Oh well. NaNo starts in four days. I'm dead. *thwaps herself* Arabwel Tue, 28th Oct '03, 12:49pm Eze, you at least have an outline and characters and so forth. All I have is some vague ideas and amayhap a few scenes. I am the dead one, not you. :p Ofelix Tue, 28th Oct '03, 1:10pm Did he even exist? Can we be really sure? Yeah sure there's the bibble but... Grovflab Tue, 28th Oct '03, 1:14pm Uhm, what the hell is NaNo and why are you so upset about it? Arabwel Tue, 28th Oct '03, 1:22pm The National Novel Writing Month. Starts October 1st, ends October 30th. In the mean time, the participants try to chuck out 50.000 words, i.e. a novel. See the panic? I have only the most vaguest of ideas for mine... 'tis supposed to be a historical tale of my own world, historical in the sense that it's set a few thousand years prior to the "main" storyline... Sort of like, say, the story of Turin Turambar in Tolkien's writings. (And yes, equally strange/Morbid at points...) Rallymama Tue, 28th Oct '03, 1:48pm 2002 v. 2003, who cares? It's all arbitrary anyway, especially after Pope Gregory screwed it up. Ever read Eco's "Foucault's Pendulum"? Arabwel Tue, 28th Oct '03, 2:15pm Hey, I have! someone had left a paperback lying around at the wars when I was there for the very first time... helped me to endure the boredom of the first few days. I like that book! "Do you have a password?" "No" Access granted. Or however it goes, I read a translation :p Shrikant Tue, 28th Oct '03, 2:51pm Oh! Look!! The net is working again :) Hi guys :wave: Arabwel Tue, 28th Oct '03, 2:52pm *hugs Shirkanath* Nice to see you too! Falstaff Tue, 28th Oct '03, 4:01pm :borg: Feeling VERY unmotivated today... so unmotivated that I almmost didn't get out of bed this morning. I hate... something... I'll figure out what it is later. Rallymama Tue, 28th Oct '03, 4:13pm Welcome Back, Shrikanth. I was starting to wonder.... Grovflab Tue, 28th Oct '03, 4:37pm Ok. Good luck with the writing then. Kind of reminds me of the school essays though, just on a much grander scale. My main trouble was getting started, but as soon as I was over that stadium, everything went fine. The story usaully came to me during the writing, and all the endings involved a sudden and violent death to the main character as I got tired of writing... :) Strangely enough, my teacher still liked them though... Hmmm, maybe I should get my act together and write something for Creativity surge... Oh, and remember, writing in 1st person saves you from having to care about a multi-thread story! Atleast, thats the approach I would use the first time I was going to write a novel.... :) LKD Tue, 28th Oct '03, 5:07pm My wife is driving me crazy -- WHAT DOES SHE WANT? She says she wants a divorce. So after deep thought, I say, "if you absolutely, totally, and completely see no hope, then fine, lets just do it now, why wait a year?" She flips on me! Gets angry for me trying to give her what she wants! I also inform her that I have commenced flirting with several girls online (she has a boyfriend with whom she spends tons of time) and she gets all ticked at me! WTF? I was going to go to Wyoming to meet one of the girls, and now I'm not sure if I should go. Life would be so much easier with a few BG2 items. Sir Belisarius Tue, 28th Oct '03, 5:54pm Wow! That sucks! Sorry to hear about all that turmoil... On a positive note...I have a date with a cute young lass tonight. She's 23! :eek: Uytuun Tue, 28th Oct '03, 7:08pm Life would be much easier with the save/load options, yeah. ;) Seriously though,I'm sorry to hear your problems aren't over yet, Lordie. Oh and I'm so :sick: right now. :( Alustriel, a.k.a. Ashley Tue, 28th Oct '03, 8:06pm :wail: I'm never gonna get first post! Falstaff Tue, 28th Oct '03, 11:43pm I just finished washing dishes for an hour and a half!!! Now that's EXCITING! Alustriel, a.k.a. Ashley Wed, 29th Oct '03, 12:20am My eye hasn"t stopped twitching since 2:10. Sure, it makes a conversation starter, but it's driving me insane. *needcoffeeneedcoffeeneedcoffeeneedcoffee* ¤ Malovae Wed, 29th Oct '03, 1:48am Sorry to hear about the split Depaara, goin through the same thing myself, but not as bad really. My engagement has just been called off and I'm in depressed mode :( Hey Ara, did a guy try to chat you up and then pickpocket you?? What a twat! Anyway, I is just be getting in from the pub and be very merry, as opposed to upset about losing the love of my life. Funny how losing something can teach you to appreciate what you have left :) chevalier Wed, 29th Oct '03, 2:07am quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did he even exist? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can we be really sure? Yeah sure there's the bibble but... He's present in Roman historical writings of that time. DePaara... It's called 'Kali rule' here. It was like 'Kali steal someone cow good, someone steal Kali cow bad'. Basically, she's allowed to have a boyfriend, but you aren't allowed to have a girlfriend. Of course, she there's nothing illogical in this for her. Same is about divorce after a year or now. Does she really want it? I doubt. Personally, I believe she'd rather stay married and having a boyfriend. Harsh words on my part, probably I'm being bitter, but I believed I have some right here. I've seen people through similar fortune. Maybe she wants you to fight? Maybe she really thinks she deserves more rights than you. Maybe she doesn't even think. Or maybe she just wants her part of fun in life. Heh, she's being very inconsequent, and for some time she's been so. About the girls... you'll do what you feel is right, I know this. I hope you won't do anything you would later regret doing. I'll pray for you in a while, as I'm going to sleep soon. Have a good day... maybe something good will happen. Ofelix Wed, 29th Oct '03, 2:12am He's present in Roman historical writings of that time. Truly? Didn't know that part. I'm sorry for you Lord Keldin Depaara. Does anybody think that Random babbling post are only here to fill your number of post for new gems? Well I certenly do! Yeah +1 post Malovae Wed, 29th Oct '03, 2:19am The only reference to jesus in Roman historical texts is as far as I know....none. I think its Tacitus or Sutonius (sp? its late) that makes one reference to a group called the 'cristan's' (I know that spelling is wrong) in stiring trouble in Rome itself, but apart from that there is nothing contemporary with jesus (a very common name at the time) stating he was 'son of god' or even existed. It is most likely that a preacher named jesus existed however and that his message is 'somewhat' left intact within the bible. Aldazar Wed, 29th Oct '03, 4:13am Ahh yes LKD, had that myself early on. When my ex left, she had a guy pretty soon after but as soon as I had a new girl, she'd be all up in my face about it claiming I didn't love my son! Women. Anyway, funniest thing happened couple days ago, I was walking into town wearing my black greatcost (reportedly it's ex-German Military, not proper buttons though so I can't tell for sure, though there IS a lighter-coloured band around the wrist of it) and some joker leaned out his car window and yelled out "Matrix!". What a joker, the actual inspiration for me to wear it came from The Crow! Some people know nothing Rotku Wed, 29th Oct '03, 5:55am Got home from school today to a bottle of coke-cola and the smell of smoke. Turned out a fire we had down in the gardern the other day had lit up again and had started to spread! What an exciting day it had been! And a bottle of coke to top it all off! Aikanaro Wed, 29th Oct '03, 7:38am This is way too single topic for random babbling... Anyhow, it is mentioned in some text that my RE teacher keeps quoting. Some Jewish historian wrote something involving him, saying that he was a man who gained a lot of followers and was crucified, or something in that effect. Rotku Wed, 29th Oct '03, 7:54am RE teacher? What's RE? Manus Wed, 29th Oct '03, 8:16am I belive there was a book called "Jesus the Man" (I haven't read it) written about this, and trying to piece together the acccount from historical writings, and the dead sea scrolls (or is it red sea? I can't remember which scrolls it was), without dogmatic religious input, and then trying to get back to what the biblical accounts originally said, and what they meant by that, before the errors in translation and common misinterpretation. There is a great deal of information out there about the subject. I don't doubt the man existed, I see him along the same lines as I would Gautama. I think he is reffered to as the son of god for four reasons; There was a position he held as a spiritual leader with a name to this effect; He reffered to God as father or The Father; He claimed we all had the potential for divinity, and are all of the gods; He was very wise and also advanced, powers like those spoken of held by him are rare but not otherwise unknown. It was enough for him to gain sufficient prestiege however. Plus my grandmother says she remembers seeing him, so that's enough for me. ;) Edit: @Rotku RE I think means Religious Education, it is a compulsory subject in many private schools I think. That has to be one of the only things going for the public education system. ;) [ October 29, 2003, 08:28: Message edited by: Manus ] Arabwel Wed, 29th Oct '03, 8:22am Some people know nothing Hey, I am familiar with the Crow, but would've guessed "MAtrix" anyway... :p On the other hand, I remember someone adressing a note to me as "Agent *insert last name*" due to my usual attire.... Aikanaro Wed, 29th Oct '03, 10:30am It's the Dead Sea. Now, to get beack on the topic which is ... nothing, I would like to say this - Muhah! Arabwel Wed, 29th Oct '03, 10:35am Now why did I skip lunch, i.e. free food, when I am DYING of hunger? Bah. "Straving student", what an apt description. Oh well... Manus Wed, 29th Oct '03, 10:35am I believe you meant: Mwuhahahaha Mwuhahahahahahahaha Mwuhahahahahahahahahahah BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...! Arabwel Wed, 29th Oct '03, 10:38am My teacher just spoke of matrixes. Scary. So he meant in contex of metals, but hey, what can I say? BWAHAHAHA! When you have nothing else to say... Aikanaro Wed, 29th Oct '03, 10:58am No, I meant Muhah, though BWAHAHAHAHA! does have it's advantages, it doesn't get the same 'What the hell?' effect. Arabwel Wed, 29th Oct '03, 12:14pm Muahhahaha! it shall be, then. I just realized, reading my dear DeathJournal, that I should learn to either use spell check or type. I am the typo queen. Bah. Faragon Wed, 29th Oct '03, 12:53pm Things are looking on the bright side. It feels good to be in control of my life again. The realisation is so very strange, but when it hits you... "This is my life, and I hold the power to make things better. Others cannot do this for me. I can. And I just need to do it." Well, I did. :) Arabwel Wed, 29th Oct '03, 1:10pm Go you! *hugs* Should be going to class... teacher KNOWS I am at school... just saw her and she asked me about the state of my creative writing thingy... Rallymama Wed, 29th Oct '03, 2:34pm Let's see... catching up: Sympathy to LKD and Malovae Health to Uytuun High-five to Faragon ... oh what the hell, general {{{HUGS}}} all around! Free :love: for everyone! :roll: Why am I in such a good mood, you ask? I went shopping last night and scored some great outfits. The one I'm wearing today makes me look 10 pounds lighter! WHEE! :roll: Malovae Wed, 29th Oct '03, 4:40pm Thanks Rallymama. Woke up at 1pm with a massive hangover :( but I don't deserve sympathy for that. I was quite a busy poster last night it seems and i've spouted out something about jesus :rolleyes: Oh well, may as well clarify (sorry Aik). There is an account from a jewish historian born AD 37, Josephus, later taking the name Flavius Josephus who did indeed make reference to a man who had been a preacher and died on the cross - I haven't read it but have read books which make reference to it. LKD Wed, 29th Oct '03, 5:31pm Thanks to all for the sympathy and thoughts -- esp. Chevy. I'm also really sorry too hear about your engagement, Maylovae. While I believe in love and all that good stuff, I just have to say that at this very moment . . . LOVE STINKS! Hacken Slash Wed, 29th Oct '03, 6:20pm This is my 100th post.

I first reformated my HDD's (They were completely messed up) and then i started to reinstall, but, to my surprise, the display driver disk was faulty when it left the factory... I did have to fetch and install new drivers in 640x480 mode... THINK OF THE POPUPS!!! I'm almost done now. chevalier Wed, 29th Oct '03, 7:44pm Tacitus, Suetonius and some other folk whose names I don't remember. Jesus is referred to as a preacher, a man of great wisdom and similar. The Jewish historian was Joseph Flavius and he also confirms. The one who referred to Christians was probably Plinius Jr. Veras the Blade Wed, 29th Oct '03, 9:23pm Jeeze... Did you ever have a teacher who literally had a monotoned voice? I sat in class for an hour and a half listening to a robot blither on about why "Infinity cannot, and never will, equal Infinity. Which, mind you, I still don't understand! Infinity = Infinity right? Aw heck.... Im so lost.... Sir Belisarius Wed, 29th Oct '03, 9:39pm Wow! Another Delawarean on the boards!!!! Go figure!!!

Most people have one boss, and I get two and identical twins at that! They sent me to our other company location in the city for the whole week because there was no-one else who knows what to do there. Now I want to stay there but I know they will drag me back to the main location because I'm too good at my job. In fact I know if I tell them I like being where I am that they will take me away even faster. Arabwel Thu, 30th Oct '03, 9:10am Scored meself a ticket for the Matrix Reloaded premiere here. Go me!

Aikanaro Thu, 30th Oct '03, 11:42am Methinks you're living in the past Ara :p Had the coolest SOSE lesson today. Almost everyone was getting injected, and so the teacher and six remaining students organised a rolepley for when they came back focussing on discrimination. We were generally allowed to cause havoc, while every time someone opened their mouths they were attacked by the teacher or had paper thrown at them. Two of the people in the other group completely lost it. Very interesting experiment :D Arabwel Thu, 30th Oct '03, 11:54am Heh, you think so? I am in photomanip class. GOt basically free run of what I'll do. Go me! The result will have elves... Aikanaro Thu, 30th Oct '03, 12:10pm Well, as Reloaded came out quite some time ago...

Arabwel Thu, 30th Oct '03, 1:44pm Excuyse me, but I don't WHINE. I b****. There's a difference. I also angst. And auffer. You try writing 50.000 words in a month and we'll see how *****y thou art two days before the start! :p Edit: I am the typo queen. Also, it is strange that I am the ONLY ONE in the class, seeing as everyone else and the teacher are absent. And I am not just surfing the net, I am doing what I am *supposed* to do... that is, pic manips. Go me... *rolleyes* [ October 30, 2003, 14:06: Message edited by: Arabwel ] Silverwolf86 Thu, 30th Oct '03, 4:00pm @ Eze and Ara: I wasn't originally going to do it but then I had some friends who aren't even really into writing who decided THEY were going to do it so now I have to. :) That and last night when I was trying to sleep I got this GREAT idea for a children's story. See my problem isn't lack of creativity, I can think think up like 90 ideas within the span of a week. The problem I have is actually focusing on the writing part, I'm too likely to get distracted by an R.A. Salvatore book or Baldur's Gate. That and Murder She Wrote hehe. How DOES she solve all those mysteries? ;) So I figure this'll be good for me; actually forcing myself to write and not just staring at my keyboard until I hate it. Anyways you guys totally have to post your stories in Creativity Surge as well. That way I won't feel too bad when my stuff is all. . . really really bad. ;) As for getting ideas, piece together bits of everything. Go with the elves idea and then add strange plot twists. Anything really. Like if you start off with two elves, have them out hunting (or something) and then one disappears and the other has to find out what happened and he can stumble upon ALL sorts of evil plots. Once you get started there's thousands of directions to go. And I know you guys can do it. Trust me, if people who've never done any creative writing before can do, you definitely can. :D On a different note I get to go see a psychiatrist today.... YAY! *cough sarcasm* But at least I get to go on anti-anxiety meds. No more writing freak-outs for me! Well except the usual ones. Oh, I'd also like to say that Model U.N. SUCKS. Because now we are down to two color guard members this weekend and besides that it's Halloween so all the U.N. people who had to go to the debate will be missing the candy and party we were gonna have. It's very sad. :( Alustriel, a.k.a. Ashley Thu, 30th Oct '03, 8:39pm Me eye is still :jawdrop: (twitching, natch) :bang: ¤ [ October 30, 2003, 23:09: Message edited by: Alustriel, a.k.a.

Black Heart Fri, 31st Oct '03, 9:58pm Ergh. BTW, I'm a newbie. Need coffee. *grabs coffee* *goes back to typing* Rotku Fri, 31st Oct '03, 11:50pm Hi Black Heart. First post, complete spam. There is hope for you yet. 8people: Wouldn't she get her money back then, if they stuffed up the computer in another way? Or they have to fix it again, by re installing everything? chevalier Sat, 1st Nov '03, 12:27am 0.30 am is the time, so why the bloody hell do I feel like getting a coffee? :eek: Master of Nuhn Sat, 1st Nov '03, 1:37am It's part of your addiction to coffee, chev. You got that far that you can't sleep with or without coffee. (I can hear Bono screaming in misery for such a lousy cover...) Malovae Sat, 1st Nov '03, 1:41am If another kid knocks on my door and sings another bloody song about halloween I'll tear my ears off!!!! Master of Nuhn Sat, 1st Nov '03, 1:59am I seriously doubt these kids would like to have your ears... Ofelix Sat, 1st Nov '03, 2:24am I love High School's Halloween!!! English teacher lended his class so we can play D&D and their was a lot of girl ¨disguised¨ :D Rotku Sat, 1st Nov '03, 8:59am Fireworks! The local big fireworks thingy just finished, and I had a perfect view of it from my new house :D I don't know why people would pay a perfectly good $5 to go to it :rolleyes: Volsung Sat, 1st Nov '03, 10:05am Tadaa! Here I am again to torture you with my presence. Aikanaro Sat, 1st Nov '03, 10:59am I just wrote my way through four and a half CDs, including two one hour soundtracks. I have a feeling my story is off to a strange start. A plan is not a necessary ingredient to a story though... chevalier Sat, 1st Nov '03, 12:51pm :coffee: :coffee: It's 9 minutes to 1 pm, I got up almost an hour ago and I still haven't had coffee. Something very strange is certainly going on. Aikanaro Sat, 1st Nov '03, 2:50pm 2724 words down - 47276 to go... Frostbite Sat, 1st Nov '03, 3:00pm Empty computer with only three icons on the desktop. Weird. :p Anyway. I just need to go on an installing spree and I'm done. Black Heart Sat, 1st Nov '03, 4:04pm Halloween sucks. Aik, what's the deal about words? Taza Sat, 1st Nov '03, 6:16pm I thinks it's for the novel competition... We don't even notice halloween here... Ofelix Sat, 1st Nov '03, 7:49pm I'm going to see Kill Bill this afternoon! I hope it will be a good movies Frostbite Sat, 1st Nov '03, 9:06pm Fire works outside. *peers out window* Free fireworks! Yerril Sat, 1st Nov '03, 10:47pm I smell a doppelganger. Rotku Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 3:53am The great thing about watching fire works form home is you don't have to sit out in the cold and wait until it gets dark. Well, after my last post here, about the fireworks, me and my family went outside to light our own fireworks. They were fun, and what made it even funner was when one fell over creating the second fire we've had here in 1 week :D Shrikant Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 4:00am This should be my 500th post. New gem. :) Rotku Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 8:33am I got ToEE yesturday! Completley unexpected as well, I was just walking through a shop and saw it, and thought "What the hell, why not". Volsung Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 12:48pm Ha! Lucky RotKU... I save money to go and buy it. It is a really good game. Manus Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 1:13pm Bah Humbug! Only 4 posts before my time topic was squelched. :cry: I blame all of you. If more people had responded, then it would no longer have been pointless, it would have been an enlightening, ever-expanding topic of discussion. :shame: I'm going to go off to the corner and sulk. It didn't have to be this way you know, we could have all rejoiced in a new awareness of multi-dimensional global time-zones, glazed in the glory of our magificent new gemstones, but oh no, everyone had to be a spoil sport and make me out to be a spammer. :nono: Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam, wonderful spam! fantastic spam! BAH! I DON'T LIKE SPAM! Ahh well, All is Forgiven. :hippy: I don't think I'm ever going top be bored of that guy. :D Frostbite Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 3:57pm It was raining like crazy this morning, pooor pony. Wet pony :( had to worm her this morning. I bet more of it went over the floor rather then into her mouth. Faragon Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 5:02pm Yerril, I know what you mean. That sounded horribly familiar. *shiftyeyes* Coming two weeks I don't have to go to any classes! :) Just my internship, other than that, I've got two weeks off :grin: chevalier Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 6:35pm Coffee! :coffee: :coffee: How nice. Mass in Latin. Wonderful. At least I don't feel like saying one ;) Frostbite Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 6:47pm Ah! Back to school on monday. :( Lazy Bonzo Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 8:47pm Frosty, same :( Grovflab Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 8:55pm *Me looks in schedule* So whats up tomorrow? Oh, nothing? Nice! And the day after? Nothing again? Hell, even better! Bah. Being between jobs does kind of suck after a while. Atleast I have so much time to go to the gym, that it is really beginning to show! Malovae Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 9:02pm Haha, suckers! :p Enjoy school Haven't been to uni for a week now and I think i'll miss this week as well. I'm very ill at the moment :sick: To make things worse my darling ex has started moving her stuff out. I don't think were going to make up :( Lazy Bonzo Sun, 2nd Nov '03, 10:54pm School is really annoying me at the moment. I really don't know why i 'chose' to go back. Wait a moment! I remember now, it was school or get a job. Hmmm well i have a part time job so I ought to be able to do part time school! Only problem is i doubt the school will see it that way [heh] On a good note: Been up in London the past two days with my gf [ :love: ] staying at a friends, who has a very flash flat (ok it's her dads but he wasn't around so it was hers lol). I get worried when flats are bigger than my house lol. On another good note: got a pair of jeans in a sale, reduced from £50 to $15, so was able to buy a Tool album as well. Life (at the moment, i.e. before school) = more good than bad. Prediction for feelings tomorrow = argh I hate maths and school argh! Dice Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 12:08am Monday comes way too fast. I feel like I wasted the whole weekend because I was fighting to install Morrowind and couldn't make it run. What a disappointment :wail: Ofelix Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 2:11am Yeah Monday... woo-hoo ... I think I have study my HTML enough now! Oh their's that english paper,I think I will have a good mark thanks to Manus, Splunge, and Valkery! Have I forgot someone? chevalier Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 2:35am No classes tomorrow, as on Mondays. Will have to study for a test, though. Freaking civil law. 19 cases, whole bits of Code, three chapters from the manual. Eh, screw that. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: Aldazar Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 2:39am Well, got a 'thanks but no thanks' from the first interview I had, waiting to hear from the second one... Dice Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 4:39am I just have to post here so I can pick up my new gem :cool: Rotku Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 5:21am *sighs* Only 4 more days off school to go. That may sound great, but I have exams afterwards :( But then 10 weeks of no school :D fade Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 5:51am Hummm, college is fun, must continue writing paper, bye. Rotku Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 6:00am College as in the American College? Hacken Slash Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 6:09am Dragonfly, how dare you spam so blatantly. I have never spammed in my life. Every post, all 151 of them, have been quality. Just check them out. No spam here. ps: someone please post back soon so I can reply. I don't wanna log off before 160 :hahaerr: Rotku Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 6:35am :lol: No Hacken Slash! I will not post so you can spam again! Manus Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 6:44am That is right, such obvious spamming should be discouraged wherever possible. To reply to such a thing would serve no purpose, and I will not partake in your spam-fest. :D Rotku Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 7:08am Congradulations Manus on not involving your self in this immaturity. On another note, I've decided that logic games are fun, but only if they are logical logic games. None of those stupid non-logical logic games. Manus Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 7:41am At least they're not logical non-logic games. If you want your brain to stop functioning, they're the ones to play. Rotku Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 8:10am :eek: Don't even mention them! Arabwel Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 8:46am Had a fun Halloween. Now some of my very few RL friends... or acquiantances... know of the "interest" I hold towards some of the guys in oyur organization. Also, got stabbed in the back... literally. We played Miurders, and I was just about to murder this one guy when I was knifed :/ TOo bad. They actually worked in tandem... but thanks to me, one had to kill the other :D Lots of coma involved. And some young people being traumatized by men running around stark naked. Also, Truth or Dare with the mosat juvenile questions involved... go us! Rotku Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 9:32am Well today hasn't been the best day ever. *sighs* Some people can really get annoying, and there were about 20 of those sort of people today, on 3 different occasions. *sighs again* Good night. Aikanaro Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 10:09am Eh, my novel has taken a turn for the really, really screwed up, and is no longer appropriate to post on a family orientated forum such as SP ;) Baldrak Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 10:16am What to do? Write a campaign strategy for a fictional politician or postpone that and play some more BG? Life is all about choices... :confused: Arabwel Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 12:28pm Well, my novel was like that from the beginning. School sucks. School SO sucks. Harkle Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 4:33pm Yay. Reserving of Return of the King tickets begins here at 6 am 22nd of this month. Although I'm not yet sure will I go there and spend night outside with other freaks (many hundred people) :xx: Frostbite Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 4:38pm Damnit, missed the school coach. I look up at the clock, decide to go outside and wait with my sister, and I see it turning out of the school gates, Life sucks. I hate school. Sir Belisarius Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 4:56pm I'm pretty much done school...Unless I decide to go back, that is... Alustriel, a.k.a. Ashley Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 8:18pm I hate weekends. I never get to post cuz we have to do all this stupid stuff. I hate jazz; Katherine is being b****y in her e-mails again; I got a 65 on my religion test; my gums have been bleeding from the wires on my braces; my science project is due in two days; what else could go wrong? *computer monitor shuts off; me goes to re-post this* Oh. THAT'S what else could go wrong.... :flaming: I would love it if someone speared me on the end of a blunt stick and left me out for the wolves....*sigh* My life is Hell. ¤ chevalier Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 8:26pm 65? You should have some gratuitous training in the Academia Theologica of AoDA, 24/24 :D 8people Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 9:36pm I have a large piece of Peacock ore I've got in my bedroom, it's very shiny, very pretty and brittle with crystals like needles. So now I've got a crystal splinter I cannot get out of my finger. Just see a little shiny thing under the skin... and it hurts :o Hacken Slash Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 10:01pm There's been a lot of Acedemia Thoelogica going on lately in AoDA, hasn't there, Chev? Just have to watch out, some of the classes make you drink sheep's blood...or maybe it's pig's blood or hamster blood...maybe just red Kool-aid. [ November 03, 2003, 22:12: Message edited by: Hacken Slash ] Yerril Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 10:10pm Well, on my walk back from college, walking in the dark, I heard a strange, kinda dragging noise. Investigating closer, I found a tiny rabbit by the side of the road. I couldn't see it very well, but I could make out that it's back legs had been completely crushed by a car. The poor little thing was literally dragging itself along the side of the road with its forelegs, dragging its destroyed hindlegs behind it. I didn't know what to do, but I tried to reach down and move it into the grass, but it shrank away from me. In the end I decided that all I could do was leave and hope that it wasn't in too much pain, or that (this sounds awful) another car would finish it off. Simply out of mercy, it would have been for the best, but I had no means of doing it. I had to walk away leaving this tiny little figure behind me. It was a very traumatising experience for a small animal lover like myself. Ofelix Mon, 3rd Nov '03, 11:01pm Me? I haven't spam in me entire life no sirrrre! @Yerril, Ouch I wonder what I would have done myself, I think you done the right thing. chevalier Tue, 4th Nov '03, 1:20am @Hacken Slash: Awww. I forgot I had some Paul quotes pasted from Douay Bible and prepared for your topic. Will post tomorrow. I'm getting up in 5 hours and have a test on civil law, which sucks. Vivat academia, vivant professores ;) Hacken Slash Tue, 4th Nov '03, 1:43am @Chev: So, you study for an exam instead of posting pointless chatter on SP? You sound like a young man with seriously misplaced values. Don't you know that it builds character to flunk out of college the first time through? The Douay...Impressive *breath*, most impressive, but you are not a Theologian yet. chevalier Tue, 4th Nov '03, 2:28am Eh, my uni is a bit screwed up. Anyway, have to go now. Law sucks. Civil law sucks even more ;) fade Tue, 4th Nov '03, 3:25am I may see LOTR soon, yay! Ofelix Tue, 4th Nov '03, 4:04am Soon? Explanation please? Been Playing BG2 like mad, I've spend about 750 GP to get my entire group drunk! Hacken Slash Tue, 4th Nov '03, 4:11am Ofelix! We've been through the "pint" issue already...shouldn't you be doing homework or something. Btw, how did your paragraph go over? Rotku Tue, 4th Nov '03, 4:59am Stupid Acrobat reader. Stupid exams! Back to studying. Manus Tue, 4th Nov '03, 5:42am HA! I used to be a real big fan of spam...Steve from Jerry Springer 'nuff said Rotku Tue, 4th Nov '03, 6:07am Three more days of school this year... Sorvo Tue, 4th Nov '03, 7:06am /me gets a beer Hacken Slash Tue, 4th Nov '03, 7:14am Hey Sorvo...hand me a beer...I need to stop being metaphysical and just try to go to bed. I may be new around here, but you can still toss me a brew. Rotku Tue, 4th Nov '03, 8:16am You peoples are your beers :rolleyes: Baezlebub Tue, 4th Nov '03, 9:55am Rotku, three more days? Jeez, thats an effort. We go on block exams (turn up for exams only, no school in between) in two weeks, and they go for one. Another 3 weeks in school, then I'm out until next year. I'm back, by the way. I've been swamped with school stuff. I hate school. David Bowie is coming to Brisbane!!!! Tickets go on sale Friday. I am getting them as soon as possible! Its gonna rock. I'm off to see Powderfinger and John Butler Trio on the 30th. It cost me a prefectship at school, but who cares? Johnny B and the Finger! Then I've got Metallica tickets and BDO tickets. 2 Metallica shows in 2 days! I rock. You remember that for when your time comes. Arabwel Tue, 4th Nov '03, 10:03am Aww, crammyy... I have exams next week and I am sure to fail. I still have no idea what the hell we are even learning on our materials classes... :( On the other hand, the teacher is also pissed at me for typing too much in class. Bah. Aikanaro Tue, 4th Nov '03, 11:00am I am not allergic to peanuts! Yay! Arabwel Tue, 4th Nov '03, 11:03am Go Aik! I, on the other hand, am. GOing to see Revolutions tomorrow with the OIEI gang... gotta go pick my sunglasses and toy gun for the proper effect..... I am SO going to die from it... Master of Nuhn Tue, 4th Nov '03, 12:27pm Bloody!! I needed 94 points out of 150 to pass my test. I got 91! Anybody care for a drink to compensate the 'luck'? Arabwel Tue, 4th Nov '03, 1:09pm Awww... Poor MoN. I'll drink for your misfortune, friend... On the other hadn, I am scared that NaNo will rob me of my sanity. chevalier Tue, 4th Nov '03, 3:14pm Anybody care for a drink to compensate the 'luck'? Sure. Arabwel Tue, 4th Nov '03, 3:20pm Pass? Hmm... I am managing to secure some not-really-allowed-to-me after-school hours on the 'puter... go me! chevalier Tue, 4th Nov '03, 3:26pm Eeer, editted that out. Thanks :) It was 'take', but the use was so colloquial... eh. Found it on the net, finally, in exactly that same use after copying everything but the gap into google's keywords field ;) How goes it? Arabwel Tue, 4th Nov '03, 3:42pm Oh, my eriting is progressing wonderfully, teacher nagged me about typing too much in class, I am dying of hunger but too lazy to go buy food, the usual. I think I need a drink. Thankfuully, I haev alcohol at the dorm... something that would surely get me kicked out if they knew. What can I say? I like my tea with a sip of brandy... chevalier Tue, 4th Nov '03, 4:26pm Fourth coffee this day and all weltschmertz is away :D Taluntain Tue, 4th Nov '03, 8:08pm Come on you two, limit your posts here or I'll have to ban you from posting in the RB threads. Chat in the chatroom, not here. Alustriel, a.k.a. Ashley Tue, 4th Nov '03, 8:13pm That's what my dad gives my mom when she's stressed from work (tea w/ some brandy). Left my homework for my lunch period again. I can already see my grade spiral down to the bowels of academics. *sigh* Graphing in three dimensions sucks... 8people Tue, 4th Nov '03, 8:56pm we were supposed to have a 'formal' meeting with the spcial needs teacher at my school, my mother, the teacher and I, turned into just laughing at little things about ourselves an my general strangeness though :) Yerril Tue, 4th Nov '03, 9:12pm Eh, my uni is a bit screwed up. Anyway, have to go now. Law sucks. Sounds like we have a replacement Eze. On a brighter note... I look like shaggy from Scooby Doo... where the streets have no name. Mathetais Tue, 4th Nov '03, 9:20pm AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I hate my job. (Just had to get that off my chest, thanks) Yerril Tue, 4th Nov '03, 10:50pm *holds Mat's hand reassuringly* Don't worry, so do I. :) Ofelix Tue, 4th Nov '03, 11:03pm AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH This must be some kind of hebrish language that mean ¨I hate my work¨ no? Yeah I know how to write my name in Japanesse! Damn SP forum won't allow me to paste it...! doh... anyway it's a four katanaka word... Grovflab Tue, 4th Nov '03, 11:26pm Things I did today: Woke up at 0900, but decided to sleep a little longer, and then suddenly it was noon. Stays in bed for a couple of hours, finishing Mark of Damnation from Black Library and watching the first American Pie movie. Play a little NWN before going to the gym and exercising for about an hour. Go home and eat, before going to a lokal cafe to play some pool with one of my friends. That lasts about an hour, and then I'm back home in front of the computer, just passing time before going to bed. Yup, just another exiting day in my life! :) Shura Wed, 5th Nov '03, 12:44am How do I go about writing this 2600 word essay on Tenacity, Heroism based on the Odyssey? Arghh. :( Aldazar Wed, 5th Nov '03, 2:59am You could start the essay slowly I guess Shura maybe with a word or two? :lol: :lol: But seriously folks, I'm having an idiot-day today Manus Wed, 5th Nov '03, 3:23am Well Shura, I don't know if this will hope but perhaps you can direct this through will-power, and as you have spoken elsewhere, the strength in your arm, the keenness of your intellect, that with strong focus upon something, and the mental and physical faculty to carry it through, that great deeds can be achieved. Or you can turn it around, and say it is only ignorance that gets things accomplished- for if one does not know they should not be able to do something, and the dangers involved, what is to stop them doing it? I usually confuse Homer's Sagas with each other, so am having trouble remembering details- any number of things can be a cause for tenacity, but which of these is heroic? Shura Wed, 5th Nov '03, 3:32am Heh. I'll get the essay done, never fear. I'm already a quarter way through and it isn't due until 3 weeks later. Hacken Slash Wed, 5th Nov '03, 3:38am You might try this approach...once I had to write an essay on the bravery of the protangonist in Melville's "Moby Dick". I launched into a bitingly satirical diatribe about how the only bravery shown was mine...as a reader of such a dated, dry, pointless work of overstuffed fiction. I went on for about 3000 words! I got an "A" if I remember, but then again I also had some "pictures" of the prof. :evil: Shura Wed, 5th Nov '03, 5:05am LOL That was truly brilliant! Of course, with the appropriate 'pictures' one can do anything! :evil: Hacken Slash Wed, 5th Nov '03, 5:10am In the years that I have enjoyed on the fickled orb, I have found that photographic proof is near invincible. :D Rotku Wed, 5th Nov '03, 5:36am 2 more days to go... Manus Wed, 5th Nov '03, 5:53am Forgive my blatant ignorance, but two days till what? Rotku Wed, 5th Nov '03, 6:27am Until no more school! :rolleyes: Manus Wed, 5th Nov '03, 6:55am School? what is this thing you speak of? School? I seem to remember some vague recollections.... something involving lectures, coming late... Ah yes, school. I tried it once- didn't much care for it :p Rotku Wed, 5th Nov '03, 7:05am Hahaha! :p I mean until no more school for 2 months, not for ever. Baezlebub Wed, 5th Nov '03, 7:12am Do you seriously go on holidays in two days? That's rediculous. I go on the 28th November. And then its off to Powderfinger on the 30th. To reiterate, I rock. Know this, and be judged! Queens of the Stone Age are coming with The Distillers in January, if they can get a venue. Placebo are also rumoured to be playing in summer. I have so many bands to see, so little time. Manus Wed, 5th Nov '03, 7:12am I feel your pain Rotku, truly I do. :D May I suggest start your own school? Perhaps then you may dictate the time-lines to your own whimsy? :) Rotku Wed, 5th Nov '03, 7:16am I never said it was the holidays then, I still have 2 weeks of exams to look foward to. And as you can see, I'm studying really hard! Arabwel Wed, 5th Nov '03, 7:18am 2600 words? Ouch. I have written 13012 words of my NaNo since October started. Go me. Did not sleep last night. Wrote instead, something like 5000 words or so. Now, dead. Going to see Revolutions... go me! Rambling. Bah. Manus Wed, 5th Nov '03, 7:31am That's the spirit Rotku- take it all on the fly! *Grumble* I don't get the Matrix coming out until tommorow. Baezlebub Wed, 5th Nov '03, 7:56am Comes out in 7 hours here I'm going to see it with my N.U.N.C.L.E. when I'm in melbourne. Manus Wed, 5th Nov '03, 8:02am Behold my powers of Prophecy. In the Near future, this spot shall be not only #200, but #200 as well! You shall realize what I mean when you are displayed the Glory of Tchazar! Rotku Wed, 5th Nov '03, 8:27am You've got the taste for spamming I see Manus. Matrix comes out here tomorrow I think. Rotku's going to see it on friday night, so in about 2 days. Arabwel Wed, 5th Nov '03, 8:30am Hate school. I am dying... I feel sick... and I angst about writing my NaNo... some are PAST 50.000 already! Rotku Wed, 5th Nov '03, 8:36am You've got 25 more days to go, and you're over a 5th of the way. Why worry? People next door have skyrockets! :D I just wish the window was facing the right way! [ November 05, 2003, 08:50: Message edited by: Rotku ] Arabwel Wed, 5th Nov '03, 10:14am Why? Because! If I procastrinate, I'll fall behind and never complete it... I just found out that amongst the FInnish NaNoers, I have the second-highest word count. Scary... I've written more than Shimo Suntila himself? :eek: Scary. Veeery scary. Aikanaro Wed, 5th Nov '03, 10:59am Right, I hereby declare Ara as my enemy, and I'm gonna close all windows and type like crazy now :D Arabwel Wed, 5th Nov '03, 11:15am You wish. I can't type, ama school, my classmates tell me to type more quietly. Spamming at the NaNo forum as well. Go me! Gah, I am so tired I can't ype properly becuause my hands act like aline organisma. Sort of like, say, blur and haste on them. So very, very weird. Also, have forgotten to tell yyou thin... the other day, somethin happened that was SO like a bug in a game that can be exploited... I used my mobile phone to pay for a coke from a machine. Wellm there was no coke left so I got "sold out" and the amount I had paid dropped to the bottom of the return money thing...except that I had not put any money in. So, not exploiting it like the evil person I am, I just pressed the buttonss until I DID get a soda... but I also got change for four bottles before that. So buggy. The best part? My mom pays my phone bill :D Aikanaro Wed, 5th Nov '03, 11:18am You being my enemy does not mean that you have to type anything, it just means that I do. Which is good, as I was planning on putting it all off till the weekend :grin: And you really need to get around whatever it is that keeps you from the chatroom... Arabwel Wed, 5th Nov '03, 11:31am School. Can't type regularily in lass. No other access as of now. Need... own...net...connection... My aunt may be geting me one for my birthday. :p Sir Belisarius Wed, 5th Nov '03, 5:40pm I just went to a website of a band I like...And they have a picture of one of my ex-girlsfriends on it!!! I haven't seen her in about 2 years...Don't you hate that?!?!? Plus, she was a hottie! :( A girl I dated (http://www.howsmyhat.com/ShowPhoto.asp?Photo=Slackers021403/slackers%2002-14-03%20077.jpg) LKD Wed, 5th Nov '03, 5:59pm Women are very confusing -- I'm in the basement now, "separate suites" she says, "separate lives" and she has no problem having her boyfriend over. yet this morning she knocks, I saw come in, and she lies down beside me and wraps my arms around her body. WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS WOMAN WANT?? I am so messed up right now it's not even funny. While I am not suicidal, I long for death. Sir Belisarius Wed, 5th Nov '03, 6:03pm Be careful, man...If you are going through divorce proceedings, she can say you condoned her actions by reconiciliating from time to time. If she wants things separate, keep them separate. Just a little free legal advice... And yes, women are confusing...And they drive me nuts...But they are just so damn curvy and sexy... chevalier Wed, 5th Nov '03, 6:06pm Edit (to avoid confusion): the following was to sir Belly: At least she doesn't work or attend classes with you ;) I'm beginning to believe I'm really uber. A Superman. I can sleep 3/24 per weekday and 6/24 per weekend day and hold abysmal quantities of coffee. Isn't my CON 14 or something? Went to a lecture on historical grammar of Greek at Classics Department. Again. How nice. Almost like in my old school. Signed up for a dancing course. Mostly Latino, but also some real classics. A necessary refreshment, and a handy one. DePaara..., OK, I know - I'm young and don't know a **** about long-terms from own experience, so this is only theory, but still: you shouldn't let her. Marriage is not about comparing the studs and making sure you've chosen the better one. It's monogamy and it's either way. Lawfully wedded spouse is not just one of the many, period. The first question that actually stroke my mind was what she was doing that for if she wanted to leave you. Whatever the motives, they're hardly altruistic. Well, I'm biased. My words may be too harsh. Anyway, I'm trying my best.

I hope that the trilogy ends up for good. This week has been boring and nothing interesting has happened. Come, weekend, come! Alustriel, a.k.a. Ashley Wed, 5th Nov '03, 11:16pm Wish i had your stamina, Chev. Then I'd be able to get my homework done.... I don't know why I hadn't noticed till now, but Rally's picture is kind of how I pictured Catti-brie (for those who have read The Thousand Orcs) reepnorp Thu, 6th Nov '03, 1:13am I'm going with some friends to see the next Matrix movie on Sunday. But really, it's already been out here for about 20 hours! You guys still have to wait! Maybe I'll go now, just to say I did. Nah. :p Aldazar Thu, 6th Nov '03, 3:28am Saw them all last night, into this morning, $18.50 for all three. Highly entertaining, but no-one told me that Revolutions is the one with all the comedy in it. Hacken Slash Thu, 6th Nov '03, 3:34am Whew...just saw Matrix Revolutions...very disappointed. This series has gone from good to bad to worst. If you are a fan, you may enjoy it, but I found myself checking my watch. dmc Thu, 6th Nov '03, 4:47am Was there another 45 minute period where you could go to the bathroom, refresh your popcorn and drink, make a phone call, and only miss a long boring speech? Hacken Slash Thu, 6th Nov '03, 4:51am I'd say there was a 129 minute period where you could do all of the above :) Rotku Thu, 6th Nov '03, 5:22am Sounds great. I can't wait to see it :rolleyes: Hacken Slash Thu, 6th Nov '03, 5:45am Rotku...Have some respect for yourself! :D Rotku Thu, 6th Nov '03, 7:56am Hay! I'm not waisting my money. I got the tickets ages ago, so I'm not going to not go. [ November 06, 2003, 08:13: Message edited by: Rotku ] Aikanaro Thu, 6th Nov '03, 8:14am Long boring speeches are good! They add to the plot (hopefully). Plot is the important part. Arabwel Thu, 6th Nov '03, 10:23am Saw it :D Not gonna spoil any of you, but I DO havea little tidbitt that I want to share... it was kind of scary, when at one point involving quite a lot of sghooting, I had my hands periodically tremble due to exhaustion, and, well.... it was kind of weird. Taluntain Thu, 6th Nov '03, 12:06pm I for one am quite content to miss out on the mass hysteria of the Matrix. To be honest, the whole thing just didn't make any sort of lasting impression on me. Now am I weird, or just everyone else? Aikanaro Thu, 6th Nov '03, 12:11pm Tal, probably a good deal of both. Lesse - the first one was overall brilliant, the second one was less so. I can understand you being turned off the entire idea by that (not that it was 'bad' as such, but it just screamed 'Second in a trilogy!' But then, I do also see how people could see it as bad) Arabwel Thu, 6th Nov '03, 12:22pm Honest opinion? Revolutions sucked, in a way. And coming from me.... I'm still not hysterical, either. Bad Ara! Master of Nuhn Thu, 6th Nov '03, 5:31pm Aik, correct! When I heard that there would come 2 sequals, I didn't like it all that much. I loved the first one, but I never bothered to watch the second. It's kinda different to LotR. LotR is not finished with the 2nd and the 3rd part (or the Scouring of the Shire. :heh: ) Women are very confusing Yup! There are a hundred thing I'll never understand, all 100 are women. Had an other test today. A practical one. One part (most difficult) I did 'perfect', according to the teacher. But I have to retry the simple part, so there is a good chance that I will get my points. :) LKD Thu, 6th Nov '03, 5:35pm I love science fiction and fantasy, obviously, but to be brutally honest, the Matrix didn't do it for me to the degree it seems to have affected other people. Maybe it's because I've read so many similar stories before, the whole thing just wasn't that innovative in my opinion. It brought a common science fiction theme to the masses using great special effects, and in that sense it's worth a look, but as far as I'm concerned it's got no deeper message than the original pilot of Star Trek -- the Cage, with which it shares a great deal thematically. So, the upshot here, Tal, is that you are not alone, though I am most likely seeing the film tomorrow -- I have a date, though I'm not really sure if dating other women is the best thing for me right now . . . . . I'M SO FRIGGING CONFUSED! Manus Thu, 6th Nov '03, 5:54pm For me, the value of The Matrix had very little to do with Science Fiction; its importance was it's teachings in the metaphysical- the same can apply to the original Star-Wars trilogy. So it wasn't what was new, but what it was that I allready knew, what it re-inforced, which we see so little of in the public eye. It pleased me greatly that people could learn these things. There is no Spoon. Gothmog Thu, 6th Nov '03, 6:21pm My 1000th post :happy: :alien: And i dont even consider myself a spammer (at least not anymore ;) ). You think i qualify for one? *shrugs* i dont. Anyway, this is just a brag. :shake: And no, i wont make another topic in SS. I think it pretty much litters the SS forum. EDIT: Deepara... I dont know anything about that (age:17), but if i were you i would sit down and think really good what I want. And if she brings her boyfriend in your house :eek: *shakes head*. Anyway,IMO decide what YOU want. [ November 06, 2003, 20:47: Message edited by: Gothmog4230 ] Rallymama Thu, 6th Nov '03, 6:37pm Chalk up another vote for "What's so great about Matrix?" The first movie was entirely cool, but not to the extent that we made a point of running out to see Reloaded. Consequently, Revolutions isn't even on the radar screen at the moment. Babysitting funds are being reserved for RotK. ;) I'm sure we'll rent the full Matrix trilogy someday, but I doubt we'll buy it until the DVD's are under $15 or so each. LotR, however - for that we'll spring for the boxed set director's cut! @LKD: {{{hug}}} This is easier said than done, but stop worrying about what *she* wants and be selfish for a while. Do whatever you need to do to keep your head on straight. Here's the thing you're missing - she doesn't really know what she wants right now, so she's playing a nasty little game of trying to have it all. It will backfire on her eventually, and you want to make sure you're well out of the blast zone (or at least protected by your armor of integrity) when it does. Again, {{{hug}}}. Blackthorne TA Thu, 6th Nov '03, 6:55pm LKD - Sorry, but, SNAP OUT OF IT! You need to put an end to this half-in, half-out nonsense. For Christ's sake, she's got you living in the basement while she has a boyfriend over! Lay down the law. You just can't let things go on the way they are pretending like it's OK, because obviously it's not. You need to stop asking us what she wants. Either find out from her, or better yet, ask yourself what you want. Then either give it, get it, or move on. Sephiroth Thu, 6th Nov '03, 7:07pm I just saw the 26 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion in one row. I must admit that it's a good anime, but I'm somehow really confused now and really dizzy after 10 hours watching it :D . Morgoth Thu, 6th Nov '03, 8:11pm Dude, hated the 25th episode, the one where Asuka.... :wail: Sorry peeps, I'll just go locking myself up in my room ...again :wail: Alustriel, a.k.a. Ashley Thu, 6th Nov '03, 8:18pm Seph: Well, keep in mind that the creators of Evangelion (I think) also did Mahoromatic, and anime fans know how much they screwed with our heads there.... Seems my "wish" for greater stamina has kinda come true...at least I finished everything in time to see Adult Swim. *pulls out collection of Inu Yasha and Cowboy Bebop stuff* :heh: :rolleyes: ¤ reepnorp Thu, 6th Nov '03, 9:15pm Woo! Going on my first field trip in two years! About time... Grovflab Thu, 6th Nov '03, 10:47pm As I see it, the trouble with the matrix was, that in the beginning there were only one movie. It became a succes, and suddenly they decided to make a trilogy. Which means that they had to somehow make the story continue after the first movie. LKD: My advice in your case is to get as far away as soon as possible. It should be evidently that there is nothing to be salvaged. (She has a boyfriend!) By still being near, you will only achieve grinding your self down. As discussed in another topic, it is considered as a sign of moral strength being able to be friend afterward. Bah! Been there, done that. Ruined five month of my life before I got smarter! On another note, I'm finally getting on in NWN. Somehow it seems more interesting now, than it did a year ago. I've even begun thinking about making a module.... Oaz Fri, 7th Nov '03, 3:28am I can't see what's so great about role-playing. I mean, you make some melodramatic character and you play the character out melodramatically and you brag about it in game and out of game and you pretend to be your melodramatic character and you act all superior to those who aren't as melodramatic as you and yadda yadda yadda. People role-play too much. I'm tempted to just clear my head of all things RPG and play some frisbee or football and make fun of geeks who role-play. Maybe after Friday, though. Shura Fri, 7th Nov '03, 4:32am Has anyone read the original 'The Crow' graphic novel yet? Talk about disturbing...I'll never be able to evoke the sense of horror and despair present in that work with my writing. Baezlebub Fri, 7th Nov '03, 5:03am I'm so bored. The only thing I can do at the moment is play guitar or study. Both get very boring. I want to just sleep, but its too hot. Dice Fri, 7th Nov '03, 7:43am Anyone have any ideas how to handle the stress of not being able to run a great new game on their computer that should be able to run? Alcohol or other "relaxants" not included cause I'm a little broke from buying my new game THAT I CANT RUN :eek: :mad: :confused: I really don't want to start biting my nails but it's starting to look like a valid option. Aikanaro Fri, 7th Nov '03, 8:25am Oaz, you were always an outsider here... And Gah! I hear that there's gonna be another Pirates of the Caribbean movie - and I bet any amount of money that it will suck Master of Nuhn Fri, 7th Nov '03, 11:31am LKD, I think the best thing you could do *is* to date this woman. I'm a bit disturbed of how it could come to this, pal. And even more disturbed why you wouldn't search for something more pleasing. But I'm not standing in your shoes so that was easily said. I'm quite positive on feminism, but this is out of control. Why would you allow her to have a boyfriend and not thinking of dating a woman? Different thing. I've been drinking yesterday. Not that much, but seemingly enough to get the nasty dwarves inside my head to work on the braindamage, using their hammers on every nerve. AND there was this man on the other side of the wall with a huge powerful drill. Good morning, Nuhn! Sir Belisarius Fri, 7th Nov '03, 12:47pm It's Friday. I'm out at noon. And playing paintball all day Saturday!!!! WhoooHoo!! Aikanaro Fri, 7th Nov '03, 12:56pm Writing to really fast and meaningless punk music is really good for your speed and really bad for your spelling and grammar. reepnorp Fri, 7th Nov '03, 6:00pm Anyone know how to enable Quicklaunch without using the control panel? Stupid school computers... Baldrak Fri, 7th Nov '03, 6:35pm Blablabla.... notihng to say but this: 200th post! |
