Getting back into Golfing! Super psyched.

I used to be amazing in League of Legends, but as i grow older videogames are losing their appeal sadly..maybe Diablo 3 will reacitvate my interest. I did PindleRuns with my Engima ZON so many times.

Finally found a version of Hotel California by the Gypsy Kings that DOESN'T have the audio removed. This is a good day

It has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the most powerful force on Wu is a bunch of messed-up Malazans with Moranth munitions.

So he got... Well nevermind, I'm not going to spoil it for the kiddies.

Making me kinda happy is my friend came out of the closet, to me first, and I think it's the best damn thing for him (gonna be honest here and say HE might have been the last to know).

Also, he picked me first.

I've never understood what the point in officially coming out is?

If I look back, I am lost.

Because it makes the person finally feel that they don't have to hide how they are. Most everyone has friends and family that will love them regardless of their sexual orientation, but there is always that ingrained fear that everyone will leave your side in disgust. It's a great moment to admit it to yourself and those around you, and find that they all love you still in your openness.

I don't think I explained that well.

I was the first person five of my friends came out to first.

My reaction to the first friend was 'Well that was a given.' (Not the reaction they expected)

My reaction to the second friend was 'Cool. Do you want the last slice of pizza?' (Not the reaction they expected. Upon seeing how disenchanted with my response they were I proceeded to exclaim very loudly 'Congratulations!')

My reaction to the third friend was 'I'm flattered, really. But I prefer d***' (Yep, not my finest moment and not the reaction they were hoping for)

My reaction to the fourth friend was 'Does that mean you're going to start ordering girlie drinks when we go out? I'm veto'ing anything with an umbrella.' (Not the reaction they expected though to be fair that's exactly the kind of response they should have expected from me given our friendship.)

What I don't get is why they came out to me in the first place - I mean, they'll each tell you that I'm the straightess person they know. Heck, I make ruler's jealous! *shakes head* One day I may, may, start to understand people.

EDIT: Oh, the fifth one my reaction was 'Seriously, do I not have any straight friends?' Funnily, that was the kind of response they were expecting.(Though technically, the fifth one was before the fourth one....I've done this out of order.)

Just found out that Dead Letter Circus are playing in Canberra a week after the Butterfly Effect, and tickets are only $20. Best week ever?

First assignment for the year is done & dusted!

Which is pretty good given that my course doesn't even start until Monday!

Have two more assignments due around the time ME3 comes out so I'll be starting them tomorrow.

The things I do for gaming XD

Since it was the Simpsons' 500th episode yesterday I spent some time online watching "best of" clips and now my coworkers must think that I've gone nuts because I keep giggling to myself for no reason. I'd forgotten just how funny that show could be when they were firing on all cylinders.

I'm hoping the step-daughter comes out soon as a proper lesbian (as opposed to a "lipstick" that just smooches chicks to turn guys on).

That way I don't have to worry about her getting knocked up at 15 to some apprentice panel-beater. Which is sadly almost considered "royalty" around these parts.

Guild Wars 2 did a closed beta and the NDA ran out sometime Monday, and holy balls I have such a raging nerdboner for this game WHY ISN'T IT OUT YET

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Are you kidding!? Messing with my groove would be if there was a single dissenting voice about how good this game is, even with only 3/5 playable races available and before they finish optimising the thing!

I just see it as pointless as 'coming out' to say something like: 'I prefer pepsi to coke. People really glorify sexuality too much.
I've never come out, so to speak, but I wouldn't deny it if someone asked me. Mind you, if I wanted to be really specific, I would deny being gay, but I would also deny being straight or Bisexual. I would say I'm human.
I just don't see the point in talking about it or declaring it.
People who wave their sexuality as if it's a flag are just petty, to my mind.

EDIT - What I meant to say was, one of the books I ordered from Amazon on Karst geology and topography arrived today.
