Also to come back from uni to find your good friends are regularly doing drugs is a bit of a shock aswell.

Good on ya for recognizing it, and avoiding it. I had the same experience after a long a time away from my old "friends"

I had this in reverse. All my friends started doing, cocain, meth, ecstasy, heroine, acid, you name it. After a while I got the fuck out a there when I sobered up and realized that shit was bad. Hell I was 20 at the time though and the only things above I pasted on were the heroine, and meth. 11 yrs later most of them are in jail or in troble with the law now.....

Yeh this is more along the lines of whats happening. Ive never even smokeda cigarette never mind doing drugs (though I drink alot when im out see a few pages back) so it was just a bit of a shock. My friends in uni all smoke weed and do MDMA, KEtamin,pills etc and I thought going out with older friends would alleviate this though tbh it never bothered me too much because they all know Ive never even been tempted. But it was just surprising. Im not really judging them Ive been around people doing loads of drugs since I was a kid,enough to now be used to it as a day to day. Still a shock though.

In other news I bought an N64 with goldeneye zelda Super SMash bros and all the other classics. Plugged it in and it worked but couldnt get it working on the new tv. Had a look online and this is a common problem that we remedied but now it wont turn on. I was so close to being happy as Ive been nostalgic for some N64 action for about 6 months.

Bah, the grounds crew was outside at work all day so I spent most of the day listening to lawn mowers and industrial leaf blowers. I get home from work and right outside my window I have the complex's gardener using the same leaf blower. A few hours without listening to that drone would have been nice.

I got my copy of ADWD tonight but had to be at my gf's family dinner for the last few hours and the only time I got to read it her dad talked my ear off...

So I've had ADWD for like 5 hours now and I've only got to page 7!

Blerg! FEck! Now I plan to stay up for an extra hour just so I can get stuck in proper.

So my Father's Day present got lost in the mail. My wife finally contacted Amazon and they sent a replacement that I just got today. Portal 2! Hooray! Took an hour and half to download it and all the stupid Steam updates (after getting all sorts of "can't connect to Steam" bullshit) and finally I was able to play it...only to get a blank black screen. Some quick Googling and I find out that my graphics card isn't new enough to play. Well, FUCK. This is why I pretty much stopped playing PC games way back in college.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

anyone else been bombarded by 'funny' g+ pwns facebook gifs and pictures lately? Jeebus, I can understand that this is going to be nice for a lot of people, and I'm going to swap over as well, but seriously - it's a bit too fucking early to be calling 'pwns' on anything just yet. I really want to start throwing punches.

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.

I got up to go to the bathroom, came back, and Whiskeyjack has stolen my spot on the couch. No problem, I'll sit next to him.
I was thirsty so I went and got myself a drink, came back, and Kalam has stolen my spot. No problem, I'll sit between them.
I get up to change videogames over, turn around, and Raraku has stolen my spot.........

Sitting on the cold, hard floor is messing with my mood.

Well damn. I love my cat, but i've been known to pick her up and move her if she steals my spot...she usually doesn't though since she has a whole chair for herself. Still she likes to sit on my clothes if I throw them on the floor.

I have been known to launch the dog across the room since it always does that to me (in-between shouting elaborate death threats that have the rest of the family horrified).

I'm perfectly annoyed at having to work today, when what I really would like to be doing is reading ADWD...groove=messed with

A pet should know to get the fuck down off the couch when you tell it to, no questions, no whining, no nothing. The moment their way goes through like that... no, that's just backwards.

You say these things but you don't realise who I'm dealing with. My cats are VERY well named. If I annoy Kalam I'm likely to wake up with a dagger in my back or at the very least with him sitting on my face trying to suffocate me (again). Raraku is vicious and growls like a mountain lion and has the claws to make good on any threat and Whiskeyjack.......well, he's Whiskeyjack! Besides, he's the only being that can give me a disdainful like and actually make me feel bad about myself/my actions. I just can't deal with that - I'd rather sit on the floor.

Look, next time smack him on the head with a club and drag him back to your cave. Just look out for sabertoothed tigers on the way. I GIVE THE BESTEST ADVICE

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.
