Got tickets, got costume, got snackage that friends brought from HPWorld in Disney. I should probably pack some Kleenex too...

>>8384
We should play together more. You can always ask me, I'm often up for a game! Don't feel too bad, okay?

>>8390
Well, I never go to the cinema, because I'm afraid of having a seizure; but I can watch movies on my laptop and it's alright to me.
What about gaming, the trick is not to play games that may cause a seizure much or when tired. I can even play VVVVVV, and if I start feeling any dizziness, I quit. So, in general it doesn't affect that much. In case of Audiosurf, I have to play only the most quiet songs.
BUT when I'm taking medications, I can't play anything, because it slows my reaction time pretty hard, and I can't even think normally. So, I decided to take them only in a pinch.

Btw, forgive my poor English, I'm >>8131

Hm. I never knew it possible to be so angry at someone that I want their bones to explode. Into a million tiny splinters. And then the splinters should dissolve into bile.

Huh.

This did hurt me so much. Normally i wouldn´t react to such goofy comments, but this came so unexpected.

I wasn´t preapared so it hit home. And i know i´m not a beautifull girl. I know my voice is not the most feminine one. I know all this.

I treid to not rect to it. I just kept silent. But still you all insisted on it.

But why do you choose this every time to tease me? Why do you choose this weakness, where i can´t really do anything against it against me?

So sorry if i now went away from the channel, but it really hurt me.

It really did. Fuck i even cry now.

I have more fun playing games with random strangers in pubs then with my "friends".

Oh wait, I don't have friends. I'm just a loser faggot who's worthless. Nevermind.

I was playing Left 4 Dead 2 because I want to hone my zombie murdering skills for when the zombie apocalypse comes along. I decided to play with strangers. I noticed one guy that kept going waaaaay ahead of us and I didn't want him to die.
"We gotta keep close together, mang."
"I've been playing for 200+ hours so don't tell me what to do."
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to be helpful."
"And you think hitting a boomer with a melee weapon is helpful."
"AI Coach is the only one with ranged weapons and he can't get to the boomer so yeah. Besides, you can fend off a few common zombies if you've played 200+ hours, right?"
"Yeah, but I can't stand noobs."
"Wow, you really do have a bad attitude, don't you?"
(long beat)
"Don't lecture me."

Well, sir, if you didn't want any "noobs" (as you so eloquently called me) getting onto your server, maybe you should play on higher difficulties instead of normal. Someone that's played 200+ hours can surely handle that.

These kind of people piss me off to an extreme. They think they're so better than "noobs" when all they have to show is a long play time. No other stats, just "I've played longer than you". Heck, I played Runescape for a total of 6 years and only made it to level 71 before I quit. Does that make me any better than other Runescape players? No, unless quitting the game counts.

I knew that I was going to come upon jackasses playing with random strangers in Left 4 Dead 2. My brother even told me not to play with strangers, but I figured I was a nice enough person to deal with it. However, the sheer amount of stupidity is making me lose my patience. I'm the kind of person who wants to save the world with kindness, so this kind of thing really puts me in a bad mood for a little while.

Dear Karnickel.
We do not really know each other, at least, I don't recognise your name, and whilst we have never spoken on the chan, I apologise in advance if we have done so else where and I'm being an eejit and not recognising you.

Having said that, and despite the fact I am sure we don't know each other, I am usually drawn to your posts here, and I must admit I feel a slight bit like a kindred spirit to you. This time I had to address your concerns however, and shall jump on this to chance to request a picture, so that I may be the judge of your hotness level instead of most the guys people talk about here who wouldn't be able to tell if it was hot or not if they were hell... after Satan had relocated to the sun.

Sincerly, your distant admirer, Donny.

I have comic pages to finish, a paper for art history to write, a thesis to finish and class syllabi to submit. Yet I'm still the one doing the housework while my husband snoozes on the couch with the cat. What the fuck is wrong with me? Why am I putting up with this shit?

I don't do well with getting help or attention or support in times of need so I probably came off a liar when my friend sent me love via internet. Damn it, anon.

Got a lot of my decor done today, more furniture arrived, still a lot to do and assemble.

I don't even have time for gaming or drawing. Manning up and being a responsible adult can be hard sometimes - But in the end, my appartment will look ace and it will have been SO worth it.

>>8399
Dear Donny,
thank you very much for your kindly support. And i must admit i´m flattered and touched by your post. Still i´m to unsure of posting every kind of photographic material of myself into the internet. I´m "slightly" paranoid by this. Hence why i still don´t have a facebook account. Anyway, if things work well, our fearless leader of our steamgroup will have soon our forum up and working again. Which means that we all need to fill out our Profil with IRL photos again. The first and only exception of my: No photo of me in the internet rule. If this will happen i will gladly send you a link to my profil.
Even with IRL information like my realname and all these fancy things.

But it will all be in german.

>>8438
Karnickel
I can fully understand your hesitation in posting a picture, I myself have suffered at the hands of the internet due to information (Them Canadian's be crazy yo) though I do still look forward to putting a face to your ever so pleasant personality. As it for it being in German, that should reassure you if anything that I won't be able to do anything malicious with the information available for I won't be able to understand it. Ah well, celavi.

I feel kind of bad for saying this, but I am so happy my friend and her bf broke up. I'd been wondering why her bf was messaging me, though the convo was literally just this:

>COMET PERSON
>Hmm?
>Hey!
>Hello

And then it stopped. Then I see on Facebook he's single and I am ecstatic. This guy treats my friend like utter shit and kind of just like he's a pretty bag of sex to carry around. This poor girl deserves much better and I and all the rest of our group of friends have been waiting for this day to come. We will all be there to support her and get her through this, but I know we'll all be happy on the inside. Because she'll finally be free.

You know that feel when you make something and you think it is good and then an hour later you look at it again and realize it is shit?

I haven't heard such comments for 6 years now, but I know how much it can hurt, even if they think that it's a 'goofy comment' and would forget it in five minutes. Sometimes people say this stuff to 'impress' someone or to feel better about themselves, but their issues or 'sense of humor' gives no right to insult anyone in any (especially not like that) way. I hope that you'll feel better soon, try not to think about it too much.

>open up vintage suit pattern I got from my grandmother
>lay it out to test-pin it on dressform

God dammit, grandma. Why did you have to starve yourself on ginger ale and saltines in the 60's? Now it's 18 days away from the con, and I have to either buy a blazer on eBay and hope I get it in time to modifiy it, or go thrifting for one.

I don't like crunch time crapshoots.

I have so much drama going on lately and I still haven't updated Desert's Grasp, I'm sorry guys.

But this morning I found out my brother had tried to kill himself last night. My initial reaction was "What the fuck" and to want to punch him in the face Kamina style.

Then I found out it was because his girlfriend broke up with him. Okay, not worth killing yourself over.

Then I found out that she'd been cheating on him for a while. That bitch.

And then I found out that she's been wanting to break up with him for months and he wouldn't let her do it because he kept threatening to kill himself. He's basically obsessed with her. As I understand it he was leeching on to her pretty bad.

So my brother's being committed for a couple days. My mom isn't thrilled that I'm not entirely moved by this, but god dammit if I'm not surprised by this behavior. He tore holes in his DOOR with a screwdriver because apparently it's better than stabbing people. He also throws the worst temper tantrums and has gotten into all forms of drugs and alcohol, and he just gets babied. I honestly think he may have inherited whatever mental problems my grandma has. He's sort of psycho.

And I say all this and feel bad for not feeling bad. Does that make sense at all? I know I should be sad because holy shit brother almost shot himself, but I almost have no sympathy for him for his reasoning behind it and what he's apparently been doing.

I don't even know if I want advice or for people to tell me I'm a bitch for thinking this way. I almost think maybe it hasn't quite hit me yet. Maybe it will in a while...

>>8458
Anon who wishes death on his own grandmother here. Wanna be unpopular-opinions-about-family-tragedies buddies?

>>8458
Ok. I can't fully compare him to me, I don't drink or do drugs, and I have a lot more problems than just "The gf left me" such as loneliness, inactivity and other things, but I can sorta understand his mind set seein as I've been on the brink for a while, and losing a person very dear to me was the starter that caused a domino effect.

In fact, I think I understand a lil more than I thought. His gf, much like my own, was that one constant in his life he felt he could rely on, at the end of the day, no matter all the shit, he had that one thing to hold. Now that its gone, you reflect on what you have and what will happen. I had no one else to talk to and a large part of my future (I had bought the engagement ring) went up in a puff of smoke.

Now that she has broken up with him, perhaps he looked at himself, the alcohol, the drugs, the mental problems, the fact that yes, she cheated on him, and he thinks "Well fuck, how do I turn this around" and decides he can't, or trying just hurts too much. You can be angry, annoyed, frustrated but in the end, don't forget he needs support, be firm but don't make him feel worse than he is.

>>8460
I understand that, it just bothers me that he was basically threatening her to keep her with him. It doesn't matter how much he loved her, he was still holding something over her head.

I'm doing my best to be supportive, but I just can't help but be really disappointed on the inside.

Suicidal thoughts and tendencies popping up again. Should go back to doc but I probably won't. Same old, same old.

I don't know if I should bother making a cosplay for NDK this year. The last two I made came out bad and no one really appreciated the hours I put into it anyway. It would be more fun if I had a friend to go to the con with, then I might feel like putting effort into something other than the latest video game.
Man, I feel so left out.

I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. I cannot physically contain my elation. Excuse me while I gush hearts all over you.

Whenever the sun shines through my window, I get shit at TF2 because it shines directly at my PC screen. I won't get curtains for the window until my mom is done with them.

... This shouldn't make me insecure, but it does. I'm just afraid I'm making people mad at me and let them think I'm shit at playing the game. When I flail around like an idiot because my screen is totally blinded people must think I'm the worst player ever. "Perry is so shit, why is she even playing Highlander" and such.

WTF, BRAIN.
THERE IS NO REASON TO BE PARANOID OVER TRIVIAL SHIT LIKE THIS.
YET I STILL FEEL ALL SHIT AND ANXIOUS OVER THIS.

Ok, now I'm freaking out. I don't want to start bootcovers for this costume until I know that I have a jacket either in my hands or ordered, because if I start the bootcovers and the costume falls through, i will be epically sad. It's bad enough that I already finished the hair bun apparatus thing.

Why is a maroon double-breasted blazer so hard to find?!

God, yesterday was incredible. Had a post-AX meetup with everyone that I met at the con, including the aforementioned amazing girl that lives in Canada. It was such a chill meetup and we had the best time singing and dancing and cuddling and making an absolute spectacle of ourselves. I swear everyone that went by on the pier was staring and we were just amused by it. Come on guys, have you never seen a group of college kids sing Disney songs on the beach before?

Happy with the balance of bro-time versus girl-time, too. Nobody gives a shit about PDA in this group so we just chatted with everybody with her curled up in my lap. Ended up with a kiss by the end of the night. c: I haven't been kissed in god knows how long, and it was worth the wait.

She goes back home on the 21st, but I'm trying not to be too sad. To be honest? I'll see her a lot more often than anyone else I've dated, even locally. I have some horrible knack for just not seeing people I date in person for various complicated reasons. But I'll see her every 3 to 6 months for cons and her family trips after she goes home, and I'll see her one if not two more times before then. We have a date on Thursday and hopefully another beach trip on Saturday.

My mother is NOT happy, but she can deal. She doesn't care that I'm happy, she cares that she's not. And I'm frankly not even sure what her problem is with it. Her only argument is that "long distance relationships never work." I understand her having some concerns, but the constant need to make snarky comments about it is beyond me. Oh well.

Okay i hav my first day of my one month internship until i´m jobless and hopeless.
It isn´t what i learned but it is okay. The time flew a bit by and if i keep up the work i will be maybe finished with my task at the end of the month.

I like working somehow.

>>8474
I'm actually in Colorado! If you spot three Servant Grunts from Amnesia running around, I'm the short one. Feel free to hang out with us.

Just heard that apparently there wasn't one mandatory practice in school to get done until June, but two. I was sick so much that I only managed to focus on catching up on the current lessons and didn't think to check back with the practice plans again. Now I have to use up my joker, which means I gotta do some help for the guys from the other departments (either movie making or web design) which isn't so bad, but it means that this joker is gone forever and I'm not allowed to screw up on any more mandatory practices.

... This is seriously not my day. Had to fight back the tears of frustration so I wouldn't cry in front of my classmates. This was such a stupidly simple practice and I didn't think to do it.
Excuse me while I go sit in my corner, being angry at myself.

>>8483
You know, you shouldn't feel sorry if it's not your fault.
When my TF2 started lagging (it was about a year ago and it still continues) I felt the same way. I wanted to explain to strangers on every server I played that I had lag. After few months I realised that it was just ridiculous. YOU DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING. It's just a game! People who are familiar with you know that you're a good player, and that's enough. When you're playing on random servers, just switch them more often, if the game gets not so pleasing due to circumstances.

>costume drama that I don't want to deal with
>find out HP premiere at local theatre is probably sold out, it won't let me buy tickets online

This is not my week.

Emotional rollercoaster of a menstrual cycle + sad tiems in the rp I'm currently doing = TEARS EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME.

We have pound cake in the house. I felt overjoyed.

And then mildly nauseous.

And then mildly ashamed.

And then I burped, and felt overjoyed again, because I could taste poundcake.

I feel sick I'm so upset.

My PSU is bad, again. This is the replacement the manufacturer sent me because my last one went bad and was covered under warranty. I've had this new one for 4 days. Four. Days. I have the computer plugged into a surge protector AND this PSU is rated for anywhere between 90-264V of AC. What the fuck, computer? Why do you hate me?

My sister's birthday is on Friday but due to traveling, I need to have her cake 90% done by Thursday. The first cake I made (of what was supposed to be 3) came out 3/4 of the height I needed, so now I have to double my baking or just give up and do something else. I wanted this cake to be extra special for her 18th, though, because my 18th birthday was so shitty. I don't want to just settle for a layer cake.

I can't find a job and I actually don't have enough money to buy gas to get to my sister's birthday so I don't know how I'm going to pull that off.

On top of all this I have a UTI (AGAIN. I had one March '10) and though I'm on antibiotics now, I still feel like shit and I'm exhausted all the time and it's not helping my emotional stability.

Everything just keeps getting worse.

>>8489
I doubt I would fit in with you guys but thanks so much for the offer, I will keep an eye out!

I don't know what it is about guys taking their video games way too seriously but I am getting sick of it. I'm fed up with them not having the balls to apologize as if it is totally cool and acceptable to yell at someone even when what you weren't doing before was working. Apologizing means you were wrong and you can't be wrong or somehow you are less of a man. And you must preserve your manhood, even at the cost of your friendship. What the everloving fuck kind of logic is that?

If they are actually surprised when I walk out the next time this shit happens, then I will be glad to not ever look back on this chapter of my life like the rest of them.

>>8496
Turns out it's probably actually the mobo that has no warranty. Well, goodbye gaming computer.

I am also an emotional wreck. I told someone something that I shouldn't have and now things are complicated and I feel like crying until I die from dehydration.

Today just isn't my day, man. But it seems like everyone else is having the same shitty day as well. We will have a collective pity party, and I will bring cookies.

Thesis submission deadline is August first, which means I need to defend a week before that, which means I basically need to be done now.

I'm pretty fucked.

The likelihood of me going to Otakon is also hovering around zero, and even if I defend, edit, and submit before Otakon, none of my friends can make it and no progress has been made on my sniper rifle.

I am not in a happy place.

Friend is looking for a blazer she has to give me, so that's problem 1 possibly solved.

Doesn't give me HP tickets though. I need them like I need air.

Got myself some fudge chocolate cookies which has to be the most amazing thing I have tasted.
And I gave the dogs a bath so they don't smell like... dogs. So now they're all hyper and pretty!

I'm sad that Gotham City Sirens is going to be ending, but hey, maybe the next series I can find Harley Quinn in will be dece-

http://theuniblog.evilspacerobot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/SuicideSquad_cover_02.jpg

...are you fucking kidding me, DC? All the creative directions you could have gone in with her outfit and you decided 'edgy gothic porn star' was the best? She's a fucking gymnast and you put her in a tiny corset.

Fuck you, DC. Fuck you.

I shouldn't be so upset about a costume and I admit Harley is comfortable enough with her sexuality to wear something like that, but it still pisses me off to no end HNNNNNNGH.

>>8515

My debit card number was stolen :(

Well, in truth, my debit card number from an old card linked to my current account was stolen. Which the bank should have cancelled - in fact, said they would cancel, months ago. Whomever used my card bought an unlocked cellphone from Newegg for $380.

My family helps me as best as they can financially, but I'm still broke. I didn't have $380 in my account. I didn't even have $100 in my account and I was living off of $60 till my next paycheck.

The bank is being downright bitches about it, too. They told me I just had to wait till the charge went through to dispute it. My uncle is a banker and went over and harassed them and they're going to waive the overdraft fees, but I still have to call and harass them about it tomorrow.

Someone told me to suck it up because I'm privileged. I know I'm privileged! I still feel violated because someone stole my fucking identity.

I hope there's some major karmic retribution out there for this douchebag.

My Mom left her Facebook page open on my computer.

So I jokingly updated her status, saying, "I love my kid ______! :) They're the best! I also love... eh... That other one. (I have a big sister that I love dearly.)"

Then I logged out and logged back into my profile, saying, "Oh, MOOOM! Thanks so much! It's like Christmas up in here! BTW, try not to leave your account open on my computer. :D"

I hope she isn't too rageful, but I doubt she would be. However, I'm a little scared about the potential retribution.

Either way, much lulz to be had. Also, I'll be careful to lock my computer when I'm away from it for more than ten seconds.

Hate my brother so much! Apparently he doesn't have enough hobbies (SO MANY) so he always shoehorns himself into the things I like. He has no friends to talk with about stuff so it's like he needs to seek common ground to talk to me.
So what's he shoved himself into now? Tf2! He's watched about a million videos on Youtube and now he thinks he's a fucking professional player and he knows everything about it. First it was just that he kept spewing character lines at me, which I find annoying as fuck out of context, and context doesn't exist for him. And he laughs after each one like he's told the funniest joke. I can ask him 'and why is that funny?' and he seriously can't tell me because that's all he does with everything. Just hears things and regurgitates them with no idea what they actually mean.
But worst of all, WORST OF ALL, he sits behind me and tells me how to play, while I'm playing! EXCUSE ME? HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED IN YOUR LIFE? ALL YOU KNOW YOU LEARNED ON YOUTUBE VIDEOS stop telling me how to medic :T
SO MUCH RAGE.
also I won't be back in my home province until the 19th, so I can't so see Harry Potter on opening night. Grr.

Harry Potter tickets have been bought for myself and my friend. I went looking to scrounge up a costume, found my time turner and the cloak that I used in 3rd grade for my Hermione costume. It still fits. I was so happy.

After getting TF2 for free, I actually played for real with my friends instead of screwing around shouting NEED A DESPENSER HERE.
And I found a bunch of weapons. The Dead Ringer, The Huntsman, and Shahanshah. Not traded, but FOUND. I did die a lot...
but it was the best. Night. Ever.

>>8525
But then again, I did dream about a horse laying on my bed, skinned alive, that just... stared at me with humans eyes...
Now I'm scared to move around my own house.
