Well played Corax

Ahhhhhhrgggg i feeel awful. After doing well on the Rowing machines, i went out to the pre christmas party for the rowing club. Got incrediably drunk. Got to bed at 3 am. Got up to go rowing at 5 am. Got to bed again at 8.30 am. Got up again to go to a lecture at 10am. Im still incredibly drunk, which is somewhat worrying.

hi everybody

:wave: hey corax, my man!

got back from my interview a few hours ago and i think it went superbly. although the interview lady didnt know i was coming, she didnt organise them. so it was a bit confusing. but it went well. except then i had to buy dinner and cook it...then do the dishes. oh god the pain. and i forgot to buy the cat food. so he was getting vocal about that. so i had to ride back down and get some.

more good news. sometime soon, friday hopefully, we are going to the animal shelter and getting a new kitten

Kittens are the sweetest thing in the world. I adore them.
Hehe I have to do the dishes everyday... actually I don't mind. Am I weird or what?

Are you gonna call your gf later today?

 

[corax1]

Are you gonna call your gf later today?

nah. im going to leave it awhile longer. so i dont spoil her night at the formal tomorow and so i can think things through for myself first.


i dont mind doing the dishes its just that a live in a house of 4. and my brother and father have both had a few weeks off and neither have lifted a single finger while i got all the jobs dumped on me.:grrr: and today i was told unless i buckle down and take on responsibilities i cant get the cat.. the nerve of some people

The problem is that although thinking things for yourself might be okay, you rarely know the outcome of the situation no matter what you decide for yourself, if you do not discuss the matter with her. I understand that she has some formal (what is it?) and you don't want to ruin it, but this is a serious matter and I for one, couldn't wait talking about it.

Edit: nooo! I missed my 1337 post yesterday! Argh! :rant:

lol i missed my 1337 post too. didnt realize till i hit 1400.

the formal is like the american ''prom'', so basically its just a bunch of nerds dressing up in suits and dresses and stuff and what not. not really my cup of tea but i agreed to go with my gf. and seeing as ive already paid like $300-ish towards it im not about to cancel. ill talk to her on thursday.

 

[Rizzo]

ill talk to her on thursday.

Then let us know how it went. And remember you *have* to make her say why she chose not to be with you on your anniv. Forgetting is a lame excuse.
I had the idea that a formal was like a prom...

Hehe you wanna hear something funny? You know Sankekur is the name of one of the prime evils (iirc). Natalya talks about him when you talk to her in kurast. If you add the letter "l" in the word so it becomes "Slankekur" it's a danish word. You know what it means?

@grogs - Thanks for the comments on my advice to solo, they were much appreciated. Solo was wise to consider other parties in his life and how it would effect them. Really its not about doing it or not, its about finding that balance....and since all people have to work, thats usually where you will have to give yourself up to etch out a living. The conformation point you made is 100% true, you HAVE to conform somewhere in your life and its probably gonna be at work because if you want to get ahead your going to have to take part in that conservative environment where tattoos and punk rock arent gonna be accepted. Sure you could get a job at a record store or what not but I personally would like a little more. It does seem that we are more alike than I had realized...both working in a corporate environment, both covering up our tattoos at work...well at least shaved heads are acceptable because its just a buzz cut if your wearing a suit shirt. Im guessing you had a destructive streak in your youth as well but you managed to make it through it all and come out a better man? Glad to see we have so much in common. :buddies: BTW what tattoos do you have?

[roninDOG]

@kaysaar - Im sorry to hear about your friend, Ill be sending my best wishes for him from LA, USA. Try not to worry, things will always work out for the better.

@corax - hope the formal goes well for you bud. I dont like the fact that she seems to be ignoring you....it seems like she is trying to subtly tell you something. IMO I dont think she is feeling pain over you moving either...IIRC you said like 6 months or more before you move...thats plenty of time yet when your 16. And if she was still into you she would be trying to spend as much time as possible with you...not running around and going to parties. I could understand the forced separation from her end like 1-2 months before...but 6 months is a while yet. I really feel for you on this one. Are you dealing ok?

@the crew - hope your doing well. Im busy today but will check in from time to time.

[Rizzo]

Can no one guess what "slankekur" means *chuckle*

Hi Ronin! :howdy:

I'm sooo hungry! I'm on a diet atm, trying to lose some of the excess pounds. Problem is that it's mostly muscle and not very much fat, so losing it is hard! But I don't want to be the arnie-type...

 

[roninDOG]

Howdy Rizzo,
How you doing M8?
:wave:
I think its a reference to either T or A, wtr a females body. I tried to find out but couldnt because I think its a slang term.

-roninDOG

 

[corax1]

-roninDOG

Well, destructive is a kind term.

what follows is a brief life history........

Left home at 17, after leaving school and moved country (from NZ to OZ), spent 2 year working on fishing boats in Tasmania, then a year roaming the East Coast picking fruit..... Have some memories of 94~97, most of them not good. I didn't speak to my parents for 4 years (not once that is)... basically went off the rails.

Things got better in 98 when I woke up and realised that I was too smart to waste my life like that. So I went to Uni and studied commerce.

It's really only very, very recently that I've really mellowed. Even at 23 and 24 when I lived in Korea and Japan, I was still doing some pretty silly things (very easy to do in Asia). In 2002, after Simone's accident, I got really bad again for a time (though at least I had my career), working 14hrs a day and drinking the other 10. It's only since early this year (the arthritis) that has made me give up my sinful ways and go on the straight and narrow. I can now say that I'm a productive member of society!

I think that some people need to go through that stage to come out a well rounded person ~ sure I regret some of my actions, I hurt (read: emotionally) some people (my parents mostly). But I've apologised to them and we have a great relationship now.

As for tattoos, I got my first at 17, an arm band (wire). Liked it at the time but as soon as Pammy Anderson got one I wished for something else!!!! Also got a celtic design across my lower back, and the most recent was one for Simone ~ A heart with a banner, that runs from my left armpit to my elbow (really hurt to get). I've been toying with getting another, but need to find one I like.

[oapwm]

Looking for a good tatoo is like trying to decide which uber item to socket eh?

Sup guys,

I've been busy past couple o days. The week before a holiday is usually very busy in the automobile service industry. Hope everyone's well.

@ roninDog - Made any progress this week? It looks like it'll probably be next week before we can mp again. I'm going to Missouri this afternoon and will be there until Sunday. I'm already having D2 withdrawals. Taking the kids to see my grandmother. She hasn't seen the youngest yet. Since she's 86 years old, I feel that's it's important to spend some quality time with her during Thanksgiving. But I also have a lot of other family members there (as you probably remember from our conversation about 3 weeks ago).
I still can't believe you died the other night. hehe One second you were there and the next you weren't. Pretty quick death....so much for ghost. Well anyway, I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I can't wait to MP again. Here's to you and yours. :drink:

@everyone else - Hope everyone will take time to be thankful tommorrow.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

[roninDOG]

@oapwm - An heres to you and yours! :drink: I hope that you and your family have a great time in Missouri visiting your relatives. Godspeed, and may you have a safe journey. Thanks for wishing well on my family, I greatly appreciate it. As for MP I will have a HC ghost that has beaten Big D by next week when we can MP again I think....yeah I died totally fast, he hit me with the flame and it was over.....so quick. Looking forward to the MP again as well...we were just starting to get good. We better level up a bit, lvl 22 is a bit low to be entering act 5, esp for HC. Next time Ill be careful not to rush in as well.

@corax - Good luck m8! I hope all goes well for you in your relationship, and that she understands where your coming from. Have a great time at the formal and whatever the outcome, know that your young and you have plenty of great times ahead of you. Tattoo wise I have the following: Right half sleeve is an oriental dragon with oriental waves that flow onto my back, left half sleeve is are chinese characters which say "patience is a virtue", these are surrounded by blue and black flames that flow onto my back, gotten after the end of my own destructive path, and across the chest over my heart is my wifes name.

@grogs - what a life history .... thats one amazing tale, I wonder what situations you could have gotten yourself into during that time. Im glad you made it through ok, as most people who end up on a destructive path arent that lucky. Again my deepest condolances for your loss, I can only imagine what it is like and I have though that losing my wife would be the end for me. I told myself that if I did lose her that I would tattoo her face on my stomach and chest so I could see her look at me everytime I face a mirror....but thats me. You may not want to be reminded. As for tattoos for you...its tough because they are pretty individual to taste, Im fond of the "old school" style mixed with asian...sort of an east meets west. Thoughts I had were Yakuza style portraits mixed with pin up girls and what not. I was thinking of a Oni or Tiger on my back mixed with the flames and waves from my arms, complimented with a touch of tribal design, and pin up girls on each forearm. LOL about the barbed wire tattoo...there is a movie starring Pam with that name.

May you all have a great (and safe) Holiday Weekend! My best wishes to you and your families! I might not be in for the next 4 days or so.

[Sidhe1]

come on rizzo tell us what slankekur means. pleeeeeaaaase. email it to me if its that bad.
traviswood(@)gmail.com

Sounds a bit like the Dutch "afslankkuur" which means something like being on a diet, i think... :scratch:
Rizzo, did i guess right?

 

[Rizzo]

Man, Sidhe got it right... It means diet.

Corax: how did the talk went?

Rest: howdy all :howdy: How are you doing?

 

[Kaysaar]

Hi Rizzo! Life's chuggin' along as usual. I've got two sizeable essays to write in the next week and a half or so. But that's not unbearable. My roommate might have

And how yourself Rizzo? You healthy yet?

 

[farting bob]

A note about solo: having just left the SPF, he was talking to me on MSN, and i asked why he left, considering he will still be playing D2.

Farting bob says: Why the feck are you leaving us? You cant leave! You host half my MP games damnit!

Solo says: lol
Solo says: well...
Solo says: let me put it in 2 simple words...
Solo says: SPF = SUX

He then explained a few points of view, and i sort of understand why. He's still evil though.. :lol:
