I haven't had success getting a date in the last five years ... one of the reasons for giving up.
Don't blame your dog. Blame the one who constructed this insecure table.
Ill just blame both.
And a few more things.
Can't run youtube.
Steam games crash on startup.
The only working game is telltale's BTTF the game.
Its actually uninstalling games.
The monitor is wobbly.
AND the charger is failing.
EDIT:OH and its reinstalling the mouse every 5 minutes.
It's not that, it's just that it seems that food products have been getting smaller (candy bars noticeably so) while their price either increases or remains the same, and that whipping air into a chocolate bar is just another way to appear to include the same amount of food in a package when really the package is less full (or in this case, filled with air) in an effort for food companies to sell less product per package without the consumer taking notice.
You're most certainly right. All that air in chip bags? And have you noticed that the bottom of jars are lipped upward so that they don't have as much content as they appear?
I have this sneaking suspicion that this sort of product is just a way to cut down on the actual amount of chocolate, and personally I don't see the practicality in buying air.
It might be, but it also tastes great, at least Aeros do. I didn't end up looking for one in my travels today.
I need a break from being on my feet for a while. But I'm glad I got fresh air today,
Which is, as of now, a story of mystery and terror, combining elements of fantasy, hard boiled detectives, and gothic horror into something that I hope is at least readable.
Just occurred to me that I have been in a relationship for 5 years this very day.
I wanted to make a joke about how, sure, it's easy to stay happy with a guy when you only see him once every few months! But in fact, it's quite impressive to keep a long-distance relationship going that long!
I will only begin said significant other search once I grow up. This will probably take a long time.
Don't bother waiting. As soon as you find the right person, that lovey-dovey-wuvable-welationship de-ages your brain anyway. (Actually, grad school is hell on relationships, so it may be best to wait.)
I can proudly state that after ten years of searching I have ultimatively given up this spring.
Sounds good. That means you can now flirt with abandon, having given up on anything serious! Of course, that may lead to something serious, but whatever.
Spilled the soda on my laptop, and now it's dead with no hope of fixing it.
Bleah. Too bad it's a laptop, or most of it might have been salvageable. Oh well, think of it as an excuse to buy something more powerful more cheaply.
So tomarow I send off the laptop to see what can be done.
It may sound wierd, but please don't have my Minecraft or Terraria data. That stuff is hard to redo(mainly Terraria, I haven't done much in Terraria)
Until then, Im using my old netbook. Which the sound quality isn't good and the trackpad is tiny... and that's about it for bad things. Its good enough for youtube and stuff, so Im fine until then. I mean I still have my Xbox, 3ds and Wii.
That's funny. Every time I give up, I get asked out on a date.
I wish... I've been given up for years. Of course I get very good advice from people such as 'you need to go out and meet people'. Nooo... really, people? Here I was thinking I'd come home one night and find someone in my bed

I prefer to think of it as them making choclate healthier, since there's no calories in air... now I can eat twice as much!
So what if the US Blu-ray release doesn't have ALL the special features the UK version has? I'm not looking for a LOST-style box set of the Harry Potter movies; I'm just looking for a nice, cheap collection I can add to my library so I can visit those movies again when I want to. Special features are nice, but really? Am I missing out on the table discussion with Rowling and Radcliff about the differences between the movies and the books? On top of that, the UK version, the big 20+ disc version everyone is getting, has redundant copies of the film! (8 DVDs, 8 Blu-rays, 8 Digital copies)
I mean, really? Really? I'm getting the complete movie collection for $80 pre-ordered on Blu-ray. That's $10 per disc/movie. I'm happy with my purchase. I don't see why you can't be either.
I wish... I've been given up for years. Of course I get very good advice from people such as 'you need to go out and meet people'. Nooo... really, people? Here I was thinking I'd come home one night and find someone in my bed
I would be rather terrified if I came home and found someone in my bed.
I got home from the store today to find that, despite my best efforts to put all food and paper products* out of reach, my sister's dog still managed to get to some Japanese carbonated hard candy. She pulled out the whole package, dragged several onto the bed, and managed to chew through the wrapper of one of them. I found it melted to the top blanket and top sheet of my bed. I had to do three loads of laundry just so I can sleep tonight.
On the plus side, there's no better sleep than in a freshly laundered bed.
*Yes, my sister's dog has a habit of eating tissues. She prefers dirty ones out of the bathroom trash, but when left to her own devices and with no other options, she'll eat them clean out of the box and leave a mess of shredded tissue on my bed.
You see, despite how clever he claims he is, he is incredibly vulnerable to even the basic human behaviour manipulation.
He is incredibly greedy, quick to anger and annoy, agressive, and absolutely stubborn!
So I decided to mess with him.
I sent him a text that he's missing out on something good, (which is true I got him COD MW3 as a early christmas present (its his ONLY one)), but I have severed all other contact with him.
Now some people, like me would only phone like once or twice, then forget about it, but OH NO! His greed and curiosity is driving him absolutely crazy.
He has phoned the house and my mobile continuously to try to find out what is going on.
I bet he's really angry right now.
I'm just going to see how long it takes him to get desperate enough to come home and find out.
(He's always out with his mates and that, so it should be interesting to see what his priorities truly are, (which I know is himself only. He'll be back in about an hour or two))
I'm just suprised he hasn't tried to contact my mother, since she's here too, but I bet he will do soon! XD
(She's in on it as well and she's not going to respond to him either. She's finding it hilarious too! XD)
(I'm just rolling with laughter here. He's supposed to be doing psychology/criminology, yet he's not even aware of his own flaws! >: D)
So onto my laptop issues.
I read that it is possilbe for it to be that the charger is failing to give my laptop power and that my battery could have just simply lost power in the fall/spill/flip. Apparantly if the charger is too weak, it simply won't power my laptop.
I don't find this plausable, considering my charger wasn't in the fall(it was next to the table though, so it could have taken damage from that, or the soda spill), nor do I believe my battery could have lost power in the fall(it is possible though I guess. Is it computer peoples?), but its worth a shot and I would rather NOT have to reinstall all of my steam games, and try to get back to my position in Minecraft/Terraria when those games both use randomly generated worlds.
Sadly the charger will arrive tomarow.
These are fantastic personal qualities when mastered.
Its a shame then, that despite being 22 (2 years older than me!), he has the maturity of an 8 year old! XD
(seriously he rages over everything! He loses at a game. RAGE!!, he doesn't get his own way, RAGE!! someone cuts him up on the road, RAGE!!, someone is preparing something either slower or in a different way to what he does RAGE!!)
He lacks any sort of self-control, too stubborn to realise how much of an idiot he is.
I mean he gets in trouble with the police over this messy relationship he had all the time.
He can't let the fact she's with someone else go, (even though HE cheated on her...).
And he has to go and bother them aggressively everytime he sees them.
They go straight to the police, the police remind him not to act so stupid.
He doesn't think he's in the wrong, and it just goes straight over his head.
(And you'd think someone who wants to go into the Police would actually, you know, try to stay out of trouble... -_-)
*sigh* I just find it ironic that I'm the one who is always having to help him with stuff, even basic stuff.
I mean he tried to do a CV by himself (as he needs a job), and he totally half-assed it.
Almost insultingly so.
GOD! It was so distasteful, I actually had to go behind his back and change it.
Now I'm not one for sticking to the established rule, but in the case of writing CVs, they kind of have an established way of doing them, that works.
I know from many HR speakers, and experts paid to analyse CVs that any CVs that don't look presentable, or structured properly, will just get chucked.
Heck, if I was a HR manager I probably would have burned the thing.
Lets see all the errors:
- Rubbish font with too much space between letters (it made the whole thing look like it was written by an 8 year old. Hell the 8 year old would have done a better job... -_-)
- No interesting use of layouts, (a CV is NOT A LIST! Its a profile, it needs to look good, something you can look at and easily read, but also look impressive)
- Spelling errors. (the guy is 22. He doesn't even know how to spell "Field". How has he managed to live this long!!!!?!?!)
- Full stops on titles (WHO THE HELL DOES THAT!!!?!?!)
- Puts Education and Jobs in the opposite order (so he did it chronologically). Employers are just going to quickly glance at this. They want to see what you are doing right now. The other stuff is just there for a final vs if they become desperate to decide between two people)
- He put dates down in his Employment history, but he didn't put any dates on his education. Thats just the highlight, the whole thing was just full of inconsistencies. GAAAHH!!!
- He put his name on it in a small font and titled it Curriculum Vitae. The title is not necessary but its not much of a crime, but you know, it would be good if the person assessing the CV would actually know who's CV it is. There is no shame in putting your name in a bigger font and bold, after all, you are essentially the product the employer has to buy into.
And thats just to start. I could spend all day talking about all the mistakes he has made on it.
That CV now, has had no changes in actual text, yet looks leagues better.
I'd try to spend the time to teach him these things, but since I am his younger brother, he will never listen to me.
(God what a closed minded fool!)
If he's the protagonist, then I'm the mastermind! XD
I just did the whole reveal thing.
First he came in, seeking answers.
Then I mislead him by talking about his CV and how I improved it.
Then I mislead him again, by offering him a piece of chicken I saved for him earlier.
While he was in the kitchen, I called him an idiot, pulled away my jacket and revealed his present to him.
He was obviously thrilled since he is infatuated with the series.
Of course he doesn't really deserve that gift, but he's my brother and I love him in a way.
Just 2 more presents to go, then my christmas shopping is done!
He put dates down in his Employment history, but he didn't put any dates on his education. Thats just the highlight, the whole thing was just full of inconsistencies. GAAAHH!!
That's actually normal when you get older, as the employment history becomes much more important than past education and degrees. I would expect it to get more attention for a 22-year-old, though.
This won't work for me because I have to email it places. Also, I don't bleed very well. It took me forever to squeeze out a drop of blood to run the test to see if I had sickle cell anemia that I can't even imagine how long it would take to write an entire letter. I do know that I don't have sickle cell though.

except me, and it's really not all it's cracked up to be.
So, basically, Sam & Max?

Are they getting married in New York, or is that legal now in Metropolis/Gotham City?
Bleah. Too bad it's a laptop, or most of it might have been salvageable. Oh well, think of it as an excuse to buy something more powerful more cheaply.
Imagine in Sam & Max 304, if instead of having a bunch of Sam clones, if they were all TomPravetz clones.
Never mind, I'm sorry for that mental image.
Silence, you fool. Or the TomPravetz army will hear you.
Fight the oppressors!

Sure! I mean, the detective is even a jackal headed demon. But there's a lot more people in the office and the humor is quite different.

Would you still feel like this if you got married and found your husband in there?
Or the movie 50 first dates...Mainly cos it would be Adam Sandler in her bed.
Any more talk of Adam Sandler in my bed and there will be blood in your bed...
*menacing look*

I'd make a joke about HIV, but I suppose it'd be a tad out of place.
Is that even a thing?
I can make it a thing.
You should try for New York, I'd say.
