I'm sorry Tapper, but everytime you post in here it makes me chuckle.

The last time you hurt your ankle carrying a woman down the stairs.

You heartless bastard :apt2:

Mind you, your reaction is more compassionate than that of my colleagues, who were literally rolling over the road with laughter. Also, my leather jacket seems ruined. As for the carrying, it was carrying boxes down the stairs for my grandma's sister, although your story sounds better.

Yeah. I can probably also get work to refund the phone, as the accident happened during work time.

Why don't people say what they actually mean at the time and thus avoid any upset later? Now I feel like a right douchebag because of a situation that could easily have been avoided...

Fixed to what you meant?

I think there are several explanations in the Awesome Pics thread.

Have to figure out what classes I'm taking in the fall (and my dad wants me to take a class over summer, but the deadline for signing up was a week ago), but I'm going to have to talk to the professors for these classes since I'm getting a late start signing up for those too.

EA is messing with my groove. see why in the Games forum.

also, the lawyer I was supposed to meet with today about me volunteering at his office over the summer has called me to say he won't be in today, and we'll have to reschedule. that's two days in a row. I'mnot angry, as much as dejected. this also means that I don't have a clear-cut schedule for next week. there's a lot of shifts available at my other job, and we'll actually desperately need people to come in, and I'd like to work most of them. But now I can't pck them up, b/c I don't know when next week i'll be meeting him.

I may be able to supply you with some. I drink the blood of virgins on a daily basis -- it makes me strong and powerful -- therefore I keep a large stock of them.

Just found out the guy I mentioned in the rants thread, who was swarmed by rioters while trying to prevent looting of a store, died from the assualt. I am ashamed to live in the same city as those idiots who took part in the riots and saddened that this whole thing happened here.

A couple of muscles in my back have seized up, simply being alive right now is horrifically painful. :apt2:

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

My cat died this morning. He was only 3.

He was off his food yesterday, which happens, but then he went out last night and stayed out, curled up under a bush. I brought him in this morning, and called the vet.

While I was getting his carrier, he went back out and went under the oil tank.

I went to take him out, but he was already gone... warm, limp, but gone.

He had a lump in his belly; but no sign of anything wrong before yesterday. I can't believe he was sitting on me on Thursday eve for neck rubs, and now he's not here anymore.

I rescued him from a city car park when he was four weeks old, and have looked after him ever since - just wish I could have done something for him this time. Posted Image

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

That sucks Traveller. But, at least you made his life better for 3 years. That's better than most cats or dogs ever get, so it's a bittersweet message.

Weird how animals want to die alone when all we want is to do the exact opposite. Evolutionary tendency to not bring on predators, maybe? I've never thought on it before.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

'fraid not. Welcome to the single troops.

In any case, woke up today with _terrible_ pain in my right shoulder joint. Seriously, it was scarily strong. I had to chug painkillers, it even made the considerable hangover just fade out. All I could do for half a day was lie curled up keeping it under a tonne of blankets and whimpering. I'd go as far as compare the bastard to when I sprained my ankle.
I've no idea how this happened - I know for sure I didn't injure it yesterday night. All this just from sleeping in a bad position?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Bad times, they suck balls.

I've forgotten both how hard writing is, and House of Chains. As in the entire plot. This is not good.

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.

You can't go wrong with the following conversation topics: which 3D movies were good, boobs, the "would you rather" game and what you'd do on a trip if you could go anywhere and do anything.

I still have no idea why you actually responded to someone asking for a plot summary without giving you anything.

Focus: I often wish the world was this way when it's that way. It's not going to be that way and I have to be a grown-up about facing that.
