Just got back from work, and am less tired tonight, which is funny since the shift was longer.

JOSH> <<You moved to Berkeley?>> Nope. Berkeley sucks, why would I want to go there? <<Tip: those aren't real lesbians>> I know, I know. <<Not everyone can kill themself. It takes big balls. The ability to move under your own power doesn't hurt either.>> Then just get their kid or grandkid to do it. Like Stan's grandfather. <<He's tracking people he thinks he'd have a chance with. No one who's actually gotten laid would go there>> LOL <<Then he could make lewd jokes at Portman. That alone would be worth $9 movie ticket>> Hell yeah! <<But can you do it without a) using nuclear weapons and b) making the rest of the world pissed at us?>> See, I'm not concerned about that. << The whole "I am evil incarnate" thing got really old.>> I never said "incarnate", and you say that as if it was all an act on my part. <<As if that's an important skill for a female to have.>> See, I like my females to be badasses. <<neither. The point is that we aren't all named dick.>> See, that's how tired I was last night.

PATRICK> <<Well, I guess they can't all look like Dominique Destine>> Demmie's a lesbian??? Say it ain't so! Bi, I can accept and well, greatly enjoy ;) <<And you don't sound like Al Bundy>> Too bad. <<you sound more like Margaret Cho describing her parents' bookstore>> If I knew who you were talking about, would I want to injure you? ;)

CHRISTINE> My best wished to Becca.

GB> <<Well, spawn a lot. Besides, in the Devil's Advocate, Satan's grandson would be the Anti-Christ>> I know, it's something I'm planning for also ;) <> Why it just happens to be one of my all time faves. "Vanity, definetly my favorite sin." <<Most people are wouses>> Don't I know it. <<In Germany, euthanasia is legal, but not done by doctors>> Wow, we should have that here. I'll do it.

DPH> <<I'll argue that pure evil does not exist. Therefore, you must be a shade of gray>> And I'll agree. I just happen to be a darker shade. All my clothes are either black or dark gray btw.

GSIDE> <<Not all lesbians look like porn stars?>> unfortunatly, no. <<Next you'll be telling me women don't wear stiletto heels everywhere.>> Nope.

Wow, room taking it's time to change over today. *^_^*

Plushies -- well an ex-housemate of mine makes and sells dragons. Nice wireframe body, but packed with that soft fluff you put in pillows. As I remember from her designs, I could probably make some garg plush/soft sculpt toys. *wonders if she should risk fabrick and stuffing in a house full of cats* -- Hmmm... My big problem is I have a sewing machine, but I have used it like 5 times in the 10 years I've had it. I don't sew a lot. I usually just do quickie hand stitches when mending is needed.

Kind of wonder what a Life Size Demona Soft Doll would go for *evil grin*

Well, back to the comic order, which is due bye midnight.

ciao

Greg> <<twenty women buying Lesbian magazines, and not one of them looked like the lesbians I've seen in porn>>: Not all lesbians look like porn stars? Next you'll be telling me women don't wear stiletto heels everywhere.

Imzadi> <<Which immediately gets taken up with stuff you had on there in the first place>>: No, most of the stuff that gets put back on, you already have source material for. Therefore the stuff you burn is the data and media you have lying around, and works just as well off the ROM as on the disk.
<<For a good laugh, read the things they suggest women do to men>>: I probably won't be able to laugh as well on the subtler stuff yet.
<<Or take the quiz>>: Ever seen 3000 Miles to Graceland? It had an ex-con taking a bisexuality quiz.
<<And then the oral sex>>: Wooha.

Warpmind> <<I've recently come to realize that the computer's my bathtub>>: That can't be good for the circuitry.
<<This is where we handcuff you to the <Insert favourite piece of furniture here>, right?>>: The four poster bed is a perennial favorite. But any two or so pieces of heavy furniture will suffice.

Christine> Best wishes for Becca. There are quite a few dangers of messed up still growing joints.

Lain> <>: Not quite. Goobers are chocolate covered peanuts (brand name, even). And such is the eternal Goober/Raisinettes debate.

<<I have a good memory. As I recall, Daphne, Spacebabie, Metaldeomn, SJ, Wilek, and myself have all admitted to being virgins. Kai and Lexy..well maybe, but not for long in any case. Wilek and SJ said it a while back, so maybe not. I think DPH mentioned it, but I'd be inclined to say he is, due to his beliefs, as well as Gunjack. I am surprised that Sobotka said he was one, because he's been married. I remember stuff and keep it in my memory, like SJ's joke about having a bisexual girlfriend from Canada near Niagra falls. >>

No, no, you're getting your people & facts mixed up. That can be dangerous.

I don't think I ever said I was a virgin. I do have / have had sex - it's infrequent, and the women involved are usually mentally unstable, but I'm not exactly that picky of a guy. I like to think that I have high standards, but low expectations....or maybe it's the other way around....Anyway, that's why some guys wind up with the head cheerleader or prom queen, and I usually score with the lonely goth chick who's into cutting herself.

As for the other people, I could only guess that you're correct. The only one I know for sure is Wilek, cause he's pretty much practicing to be a monk in the Black Mass.

The bisexual girlfriend joke was a rib on Doug, but it would take too long to explain it (it's an obscure reference), and besides it violates a rule of comedy (if the joke goes over their heads, don't take the time to explain it).

And the name is Branden, not Brendan.

spacebabie>> <<Does anyone know how to make gargoyle plushies?>> well.. not precicely *GARGOYLE* plushies but i DO design and hand-sew my own stuffed toys. so far, i have made assorted teddy bears, a platypus for my roommate, the cute little sheep from wallace and grommet's "a close shave", several fish, a seahorse, a squid, a 4-and-a-half-foot orange dragon.. etc. if youre serious about it, go pick out some material, send me a drawing of what you want, and ill see what i can do. id love a challenge and it sounds like it could be a lot of fun! seriously!

and anyone else interested.. i would seriously do it!!
any baby zachs in need of garg plushies, perchance? *nudges jan cautiously*

wow.. *starts pondering the money she could make on ebay with custom garg plushies* heheheeeeee......

niamhgold>> <<And yay...it's actually feeling like May here! I may go see Episode 2 tomorrow. Yes, I'm a bad girl, as I haven't seen that or Spiderman ;)>> hey, me neither.. but thats mostly cos im dirt poor, stupid cat of mine.. who is currently sleeping in my lap *AWWWWWW!* :D

jan>> <<re: goober>> thats gunjacks pet name for me. he uses it when he wants to tell me he doesnt understand me and thinks im crazy but loves me anyways. :P i understand down where yall are from, it means "peanut" however, up here it means something akin to "booger" so for the longest time i thought he was calling me snot. (who knows, maybe he was ;))

anyway.. kira woke me early this morning my sleeping on my head and sticking her tail in my nose. fun.
then i went to work.. and then i came home.
not very exciting.

Mooncat - Thanks for the link.

Green Baron - You're right about my religious beliefs. That's not entire sum of me, but it's a good start.

I don't care about finding an equal partner in marriage as much I strongly care about acceptance of who I am by my potential mate.

Imzadi - <Or it makes us feel stupid.> I am reminded of a saying: It's better to shoot for the stars and miss than to shoot for a shunk and hit.

GXB - <There is a good term for me. 'Evil'.> I'll argue that pure evil does not exist. Therefore, you must be a shade of gray.

Nimahgold - Interesting.

Stephen - Why are you leaving?

Warpmind - <weird areas by this CR's standards.> The only thing that would be wierd for this CR is . . normalcy by RL standards.

I would like to share a couple of inspirational stories: Before 6:15am, a man had showed up to vote on Tuesday. Why 6:15a, that's when I arrived. He thought the voting was at 6:30am. Yep, it scared me that he was waiting when I got there. There was a 99 year old who came into vote on Tuesday. Why can't people understand that the primaries are for the Democrats to pick the Democratic candidates and the Republicans to pick the Republican candidates. Sheesh. A few people wondered why they couldn't vote in both. Simple, the Democrats don't want Republicans picking Democratic candidates and the Republicans don't want Democrats picking Republican candidates.

My old voting precint got split into 2 precints, causing some confusion.

Oh yea, for politically correct types: there is a community there is largely African-American. Their precint got moved. After the 3rd African-American came in to vote in this precint and couldn't because they had been moved to a different precint, I wanted to ask all African Americans who walked in to vote if they leaved in that certain community, and if they did, they have been moved to a different precint. Fortunately, I had good enough sense not to do that. Still, it makes me wonder if things weren't lined up for a potential lawsuit. Also, I swear my precint boundaries are rather . . crooked and does not make sense for someone to drive past a voting place to go to another one in order to vote.

I could swear the entire process for voting would be so much better if we were issued laptop PCs to verify people could vote in my precint.

* BUFFY SPOILERS *

Saw the season finale, and very much enjoyed it.

It was great to see Giles back again; I'd rather missed him. I doubt that he'll ever be a regular again, but still, his guest star appearance here was very welcome.

Xander, the most ordinary of the Scooby Gang, gets to save the world again - by virtue of his very ordinariness. I don't know for certain whether Willow's fate being a cure rather than death is a cop-out or not (I do agree that the nerds' comparison of her to Dark Phoenix, based on what I know about the Phoenix Saga in "X-Men", was very apropos), but it was still moving.

I'm glad to see that Buffy's going to be finally getting over her funk. One really great moment: Dawn showing that she can handle a fight against the legions of the undead just as well as her big sister. And Buffy and Dawn coming out into the open air once more.

Re Spike: Boy, it just goes to show that when you're asking for something, you want to be more specific. :) I wonder what he'll be returning as. Another vampire with a soul, like Angel, or being entirely human again. Whatever the case, it'll be worth seeing what he's like next season, in light of what he was like in his pre-vampire days. (It's entirely possible that Buffy might be even less thrilled with a sentimental Victorian poet who writes eminently forgettable verse than she was with the "big, bad vampire". :) ).

Another day of Germany and the weather sucks again. Windy and a little rain.

Christine> That's awful. I hope Becca's okay after all. I think its good that you help out. Better for a school and the students.

Jannie> You're 5'1". I'm 5'9" and I'll tower over you when I meet you :D

<<My entire family is in town today (all siblings and all nephews and nieces) (21 of us) This hasn't happened in MANY years, so we had a large dinner last night and will be meeting again this morning at my rents' house. Pictures pictures pictures. eesh >> That doesn't even happen in my family when someone dies. Now, the Godfather sound track plays in my head.

Warpmind the Barbarian> <<Hey, if you WERE your father and your uncle, that would mean genetic engineering has taken turns ever Anton Sevarius might be reluctant to consider... ;) >> Not in that way. The fact that its my close family, it bears down on me a bit. I know I should not worry about it, as I have stronger wills than either of them. When I do marry, I want the woman on top, though :D

Imzadi> <<The car ride was...boring, mostly. My dad is a cool guy to hang out with, but I-5 for 6 hours just isn't that exciting. I drove part of the way. First time driving in 4 months...and I only killed 12 people.>> And how many points do you get for each person?

<<Dude, he's gonna kick your ass someday. I just hope to be there to see it.>> You're assuming he takes anything I say seriously :) Besides, he's made simialr comments about Augusta, GA.

<<Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.>> LOL!!! Berkely or Germany..both contain unwashed men and women who don't shave their pits :)
But no greencard hunters at Berkely.

Mr. X.> <<How SJ didn't make this list is way beyond me>> She forgot his first name is Brendan, maybe. Stacey is Ravyn.

<<Actually, I do plan to spawn. Must bring about the Anti-Christ. As for why I'd get married. Like David Xanatos, I want to find a true equal. A Dark Lord needs a Dark Lady after all.>> Well, spawn a lot. Besides, in the Devil's Advocate, Satan's grandson would be the Anti-Christ. I highly recommed that movie, btw.

I agree with you on marrying an equal. Compatibility is primary for me. Love is short-lived without compatibility.

<<I'm all for euthanasia, I think a person has the right to end their lives. But one thing I must wonder, why do they need help to die? Aren't there any tall buildings where these people live?>> Most people are wouses. In Germany, euthanasia is legal, but not done by doctors.

<<but dammit, no one is shocked by anything I say anymore. Have I become predictable?>> Well, yes. Maybe you should quote Milton to add some variety, and not just the part about serving in Heaven, but some stuff less known. And if you get Ravenloft info from JEB, you may not wish to be a darklord :)

<<What I want to know is how GB knows all these people are virgins.>> I have a good memory. As I recall, Daphne, Spacebabie, Metaldeomn, SJ, Wilek, and myself have all admitted to being virgins. Kai and Lexy..well maybe, but not for long in any case. Wilek and SJ said it a while back, so maybe not.

I remember stuff and keep it in my memory, like SJ's joke about having a bisexual girlfriend from Canada near Niagra falls.

Not much else to say, so goodnight and 36 days until I am back in America. I can't wait to be back permanently.

Hey, folks. Thanks for the anniversary wishes and all.

I might not be around as much for a while, because yesterday at recess Becca fell from the jungle gym and broke her left wrist and elbow. I was just leaving the school (I help out in the classroom Fridays) and saw it happen. Swing, slip, whoosh, wham into the woodchips. I reversed course at once and went with her to the nurse's office, then spent the rest of the day waiting around on Group Health.

She's currently in a temp cast and sling, and we'll have to go to Children's Hosp. next week to see a pediatric orthopedic specialist to (hopefully, please!) rule out surgery on the elbow. We're hanging in as well as we can but she is pretty miserable.

Anyhoo, the rest of you have a spiffy holiday weekend and I'll check in when I can. Cheers!

Greg> *chuckles* I was doing a twist on the word "dick". I capitalized it and switched it to a proper name, Dick... and pointed out that we were not all Dick - and then named some of the real names for people here in the CR ;)
*chucklescough* ok, lame attempt at humor.
Of course, if I had named people who were real dicks, your name would have been first on the list, hon. *pat pat* ;)

Did a dress out on Thursday night.... this gal had stabbed an officer during an altercation.
She was in the process of ramming her jeep into the side of her husband's van when the officer showed up to stop her. He reached in to remove the keys (the vehicle was still running) and she then began stabbing him. He jerked her out of the car, wrestled her to the ground and sat on her until back up arrived.
When I arrived at the station, the dispatch said, "Jan, she is brought in for a stabbing and the officers are not sure if she still has the knife or not. If she becomes aggressive, back down and we'll call female officers in to strip search her."
My response:
*blinks* "ummmm no shit, Sherlock. Back down?? either give me a gun to shoot the bitch or get out of my way 'cause I'm running over you"
I went back to the jail and she was handcuffed to the wall and yelling obscenities at the jailer. That's when I saw that she was as tall as a building! *falls over* She turned out to be 5'11". I'm 5'1" O_O I'm thinking, "I'm soooo going to get hurt tonight"
While Daren is attempting to book her in, I'm running all of my Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Training thru my mind (Christine - I'm sure you know which training I'm referring to ;))
I begin talking to her and she starts to calm down a bit. However, it still takes me over an hour to convince her that she has to change out of her street clothes and into jail wear. During this time, she would get down in my face and either attempt a stare-down with me or she'd be talking/yelling at me. It was during this time that I discoverd that she was extremely drunk... I thought I'd have a hangover the next morning just by her breathing on me. In the end, she and I became "buds". *chuckles* I never raised my voice at her, I didn't make threats, I negotiated with her a few times and followed thru with my end of the bargain once she completed the tasks that I requested. Gosh, I felt like I was back in the behavioral disorder class. No knife was found - thank goodness. I have no doubt that if she had one, she would have used it.
She was booked under a 20 hour investigative hold, but I didn't have the nerve to tell her she was going to be there for much longer once the Assault On a Police Officer - 1st Degree was filed. That wasn't my job to tell her anyway... let the detective tell her the next day. hehe
She damned everyone to hell, except me. ;) we bonded *nods* ;p

My entire family is in town today (all siblings and all nephews and nieces) (21 of us) This hasn't happened in MANY years, so we had a large dinner last night and will be meeting again this morning at my rents' house. Pictures pictures pictures. eesh

Greg B. > "Today seemed to be ugly lesbian day at the bookstore." -- Well, I guess they can't all look like Dominique Destine. And you don't sound like Al Bundy... you sound more like Margaret Cho describing her parents' bookstore. ;)

*Warpmind wanders in, looking... annoyed.*
Morrow, folks. I've recently come to realize that the computer's my bathtub. Nigh-invariably, within five minutes of me sitting down, the phone rings... and I have to move. :(

Josh: Wise in public? Well... think about that question. Since when was I wise, be that in public or private? ;) As for the frustration - think "slicing plantlife", not whatever YOU were thinking of.

Spacebabie: Steam it, huh? *Ponder* And if you boil it, it becomes sterilized, to boot? *Ponder* Sleeping with gargoyle plushies, huh? *Evil smirk* Is it true about the tails? };) As for the "naughty girl" issue... This is where we handcuff you to the <Insert favourite piece of furniture here>, right? };)

YES!!! I"m all finished! And I'm home in sweet, sweet, Los Angeles (a.k.a. the center of modern civilization). My last final was *really* easy, finished in just 90 minutes or so.

The car ride was...boring, mostly. My dad is a cool guy to hang out with, but I-5 for 6 hours just isn't that exciting. I drove part of the way. First time driving in 4 months...and I only killed 12 people.

God it seems like just yesterday I was looking out at all my finals ahead of me and thinking "I'm so gonna die."

And you know what was really cool? It's not below 60 in LA! I got home and my mom had spent all day cooking yesterday to make her amazing turkey chili, and she baked satanic fudge brownies today. She rocks. I did some software upgrades on my bro's machine and unpacked all my crap. I have 5 boxes of laundry to do this week 8-) Fun fun!

replies:

Fire Storm: <<Sweep and polish>>: Know what would make me really want this service? If they painted my house. <<forbid fondling>>: Well then its not worth my time, is it? <<Netstations are actually PCs>>: As if Java were actually a programming language 8-) <<It takes two Wongs to make it White>>: That's really funny. Especially at Berkerey 8-) <<And in Unix when you don't shut down properly>>: I've never had to reinstall my OS X...

Christine: Congrats! Many more happy anniversaries.

Spacebabie: <>: Really? That's great! How can I exploit you? <<They are bad influences on me>>: I'm sure the rest of us don't help either. <<a little girl sleeping with gargoyle plushies>>: That's kinky. <<If you steam it instead of boiling it asparagus doesn�t go limp>>: You'd know. <>: I can bullshit, I just don't want to do it for 5 pages. <<Is that an invitation?>>: You wish. <<collge is the time for experimentation>>: So true. <<technically she is a lot older than him>>: And yet has the maturity level of...my brother. <<He had sex with Faith>>: I am *so* jealous.

Archwolf: <<combat I meant nothing the size of cruise missle>>: I see. <<I'd say jet-launched, but we have aircraft capable of air-launching tomahawks>>: And larger, to my knowledge.

Green Baron: <<It pushes us for the better than mediocre goals and staying in our comfort zones>>: Or it makes us feel stupid. <<his roots in Augusta, Ga might indicate he has a preference for family members and/or livestock>>: Dude, he's gonna kick your ass someday. I just hope to be there to see it. <<Let me know if you want to switch with me>>: Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.

Jan: <<Goober Boy>>: I thought I was the goober here.

Niamhgold: <<I'm a bad girl, as I haven't seen that>>: I haven't seen it yet either. <<a magic eight ball>>: I have one of those! <<Congrats on finals being over>>: Thanks! I'm glad I made it alive. <<Have fun back in LA>>: Count on it...I hope. <<Not at the present time>>: Must be frustrating. <<In my HS, you weren't allowed to leave>>: SUCK! That's like AP exams. <<they need a hedge maze to hide out in.>>: Actually I think they'd be more menacing if they lived in the open. <<*some* muscle/fat can't hurt>>: Actually, it can.

Gside: <<after you burn everything, you have room to put new stuff on the clean computer>>: Which immediately gets taken up with stuff you had on there in the first place. I'd hardly call that a solution. <<That isn't overlapping jargon, that's misunderstood jargon>>: You've obviously never done tech support. <<You read Cosmo>>: For a good laugh, read the things they suggest women do to men. Or take the quiz. <<Time for your spanking, then?>>: And then the oral sex.

Greg X: <<ugly lesbian day at the bookstore>>: You moved to Berkeley? <<not one of them looked like the lesbians I've seen in porn>>: Tip: those aren't real lesbians. <<How SJ didn't make this list is way beyond me>>: He's a Dick. <<why do they need help to die?>>: Not everyone can kill themself. It takes big balls. The ability to move under your own power doesn't hurt either. <<What I want to know is how GB knows all these people are virgins>>: He's tracking people he thinks he'd have a chance with. No one who's actually gotten laid would go there ;-) <<That'd be so awesome>>: Then he could make lewd jokes at Portman. That alone would be worth $9 movie ticket. <>: But can you do it without a) using nuclear weapons and b) making the rest of the world pissed at us? <>: The trick is to find one who can be feminine when its appropriate. After all, who wants to sleep with "one of the guys"? Not me. Not you either, I'd wager. <<no one is shocked by anything I say anymore. Have I become predictable?>>: The whole "I am evil incarnate" thing got really old. <<how many ways do you know how to kill>>: As if that's an important skill for a female to have. <>: It's neither. The point is that we aren't all named dick.

Tired, just got back from work. Have to go back tomorrow.

Today seemed to be ugly lesbian day at the bookstore. I had at least twenty women buying Lesbian magazines, and not one of them looked like the lesbians I've seen in porn ;)

And, not to sound like Al Bundy but: A fat woman came into the book store today. She comes up to the registers and buys $100 worth of Godiva bars. And this woman is huge and breathing funny. After I ring her up, she tells me to bag it quickly because she doesn't want her husband to catch her buying chocolate. I'm overweight myself, and trying to lose it, but this is truly disgusting.

GUNJACK> <<Greg, I lack a term for.>> There is a good term for me. 'Evil'.

JAN> <<That's all well and good, but I don't want to hear it.>> understood and I respect your wish to not hear it... I don't think that it should be forced down anyone's throat. It's available for anyone who wants to hear it. I'm totally against those who stand in your face and yell how everyone is going to hell if they don't repent, etc.>> Always glad to know that. Because I've had a couple of bad experiences while riding the bus to and from college (thank the gods for my car), with people trying to convert me who would not take "Thanks, but I'm not interested" as an answer. <<There are more programs for children in this country than anywhere else in the world.>> Hmm, then I guess I just don't give a shit. But I'm pro-death anyway. We need to kill more people in this country. And definetly more outside of it ;) <<Actually we're not all Dicks.. we also have Aaron, Greg, Jan, Thomas, Don, Stacy, Josh, Jennifer, Christine, Robby, and ummmm a bunch others that I can't think of their names right now>> How SJ didn't make this list is way beyond me. No offense to SJ at all. But who's Stacy?

MARA> <<There is no such thing as a Sexy Nun.>> Never seen one ever. <<YOu know, in Eygpt, my name is the word for "Bitch" in Arabic?>> First the God that tried to tempt Buddha then this. Your name kicks ass!

GB> <<Then why bother getting married in that case? You don't plan to spawn, afterall>> Actually, I do plan to spawn. Must bring about the Anti-Christ. As for why I'd get married. Like David Xanatos, I want to find a true equal. A Dark Lord needs a Dark Lady after all. <<It all depends on the conservatives. Some favor abortion to reduce crime and poverty, though they may also favor euthanasia to save social secuirty. I could see you embracing that>> I'm all for euthanasia, I think a person has the right to end their lives. But one thing I must wonder, why do they need help to die? Aren't there any tall buildings where these people live?

SJ> <<To the admins: don't worry. I'm not going to unleash on Moochie in here for his comments to me>> Who are you, and what have you done with the real SJ?

MOONCAT> <<*adds name to virgin list* wheee!!!>> What I want to know is how GB knows all these people are virgins.

JOSH> <> Well, hopefully he'll die in the first second of the next movie. <<Not all Jedi are poor guys who walk around in robes>> yeah, I guess some are rich guys who walk around in robes. <<Hell, Jason Mewes would have made a better Anakin. BONG!>> That'd be so awesome! <<And the number of terrorist attacks will increase tenfold.>> Not neccesarily, as I guarantee I could do a better job making sure terrorists don't attack us than Bush is. <<You're kidding me, right? Greg W's leading ladies were tomboys and psychopaths.>> And they rock! << Some women are *actually* feminine, you know.>> I know, don't you hate that? Demona is my ideal woman. Yesss.

SPACEBABIE> <> Thanks. <<We know>> I know everyone does. but dammit, no one is shocked by anything I say anymore. Have I become predictable? <<Thanks for the flattery but I�m already Mara�s Miko>> And you've learned much from her. <> I think they're the best influences you'll ever have. Next to me of course. I could use you in my endeavors. how many ways do you know how to kill? <<::picks up fallen halo :::I can�t get the tarnish off this>> Here, take this pitch fork instead. it is my gift to you.

***BUFFY SPOILERS***
Buffy sucked this season, pure and simple. Good ending with Willow, butI wanted her to get killed. And dammit, I thought Spike was going to be a villain again for sure. I hate this neutered Spike.
***END SPOILERS***

JEN> <<Oh yes, and I officially own the name "Art Chicks" as a business entity now. I am so happy. Life is good.>> Congrads. Can't wait to see "Art Chicks" really take off. <<Welcome to the dark side... it is your destiny!>> Always nice to snare another one. Mmmm, power, money and sex. All we need in life. I'm building a new religion around the acquisition of these.

Imzadi> <<Oh that sounds about like a complete waste of time>>: NO, because after you burn everything, you have room to put new stuff on the clean computer.
<<You often get both when a conversation between a techie and a non-techie takes place>>: That isn't overlapping jargon, that's misunderstood jargon.
<<My final today was 5 problems, three hours>>: DigE final was also three hours, but you did beat my by one. And only one. If I remember.
<<No>>: All the better for you then.

<<Good Vibrations>>: At least you know they have a good selection.
<<It's our basis on the Puritanical belief system>>: What say we go back and kill all the Puritans?
<<Well, I am impatient>>: And I am all the more happy because of it.
<<They are looking to de-purify some guy named Nerus>>: Well, I'll support that crusade.
<<WHAT! No on-line comics?>>: I know. Perhaps we should send another crusade over his way.

Christine> Happy anniversary, then.

Spacebabie> <>: Time for your spanking, then?
<<Same thing. The R�s and L�s tend to get switched around>>: I do know that. But you also mixed up the vowels a bit. And that C/K thing, but it's all comventions.
<>: Muchly so.
<<Ah yes The Zeppo>>: The fourth (fifth?) Marx Brother was trying to destroy the world?

Niamhgold> <<I'm not a large fan of cheese, sadly>>: No? Well, then you'll probably be glad to hear that you're off the list.

**Niamhgold enters**

Not much to say about the last week. Started working again, which has involved my sitting in front of a computer again, doing Flash work and Illustrator/Photoshop design. I've got to learn how to pace myself so that I (a) don't finish things so quickly and (b) don't end up pushing myself again ;) But this weekend...four days off because of overtime on the last few. I may get a job for saturdays and sundays, trying to earn up for a possible unpaid internship next summer, so I'm hoping that's not going to be too bad.

And yay...it's actually feeling like May here! I may go see Episode 2 tomorrow. Yes, I'm a bad girl, as I haven't seen that or Spiderman ;)

Otherwise, have been painting for the Gathering and other random art stuff. Whoo, it finally feels like summer!

Replies:

DPH: <What games? I know of a version of Tetris for a TI-82 and I personally wrote a version of Black Jack for a TI-85> I had frogger, tetris, nibbles, and all the casino-type games. Also, a magic eight ball. <Can anyone tell me what muenster cheese tastes like> I'm not a large fan of cheese, sadly.

Imzadi: Congrats on finals being over! Have fun back in LA. <I"d like to have an actual life this summer, if I can remember how> I've heard it's like riding a bicycle. At least you'll have friends in the area. <What are you planning on buying yourself?> I suppose art supplies so I'll be set for next semester ;) <My family is waiting till I get home> That's nice of them. Not at the present time. <The first one, usually for 175 minutes. Or I just leave> In my HS, you weren't allowed to leave. <How do you know that? > Letterman. <But not anything on the east coast. Cuz it sucks> Sorry you feel that way. <You haven't been with him on other car trips> Do tell. <That's okay, I have somewhere I'd rather be for graduation next year> Even if he's going to Hawaii? ;) Those too! But they need a hedge maze to hide out in. <You've obviously never BEEN to arizona> Obviously. <Then my site would be an imac> ::shudders:: <Yay for skinny chicks> Well, *some* muscle/fat can't hurt ;)

Not much else to say. Goodnight.

Gunjack, Jan, anyone else arguing> ::grabs a giant hose and just sprays everyone involved:: Next time, I use the riot gas and I think I'm the only one with a protective mask :)

DPH> I tend to agree. Any faith should have standards impossible to completely fulfill. We should set goals that seem unnatainable. It pushes us for the better than mediocre goals and staying in our comfort zones.

Mooncat> Well, I do assume too much. How are your cats? I get some serious kitten time in about six weeks. I miss having cats around.

I don't see the crowd as that vanilla. I think having cybersex in this CR is innaproporiate, but flirtation is no big deal.

I've seen you act that way with Patrick, so I made soem assumptions, bad GB.

<<though to be sure, do you mean Severius Jr?)>> Yes, that's the one. Of course, his roots in Augusta, Ga might indicate he has a preference for family members and/or livestock :)

Imzadi> <<Grrr, don't remind me. It actually rained again this morning.>> Well, Germany's weather sucks 8 months out of the year. Let me know if you want to switch with me :p

<<How is that ironic?>> Ironic may be the worng word, but someone with his values claiming to be a Christian. It would be like you claiming to be a Christian.

<<Your "argument" of a disease to support your position is flimsy at best.>> Well, not everyone plays it as safe as you do. I guess I have even less sympathy for those who get diseases. They are even more irresponsible.

<<ACK! I don't believe it. Wait, yes I do. I remember how angry I was before I got laid...yes, I was once worse.>> I imagine once you have sex and go without it for a long time, it can be pretty frustrating.

<<Maybe he's foolish enough to want to spend his life with one woman.>> But it doesn't seem to work out that way. Maybe marriage should be a renewable five year contract.

Firestorm> Well, it may not be virgins you prefer. Infants are virgins and you like infants with a toucj of white wine sauce.

Spacebabie> <<What about in Europe>> There's a shortage of clergy and religious in Europe, too. It seems a problem with the developed world.

<<;)>>> To quote Cordy �Damn Skippy�>> I'll give you and early deposit when I head into Orlando :)

Warpmind> <<You're not your father. Or your uncle. You're you.>> Its easier to say that than to believe it. Granted, both of them are alchoholics and I can definitely stop drinking before I even reach the relaxed stage.

My profile has been outdated, I imagine.

Metaldemon> Converting Gunjack into a pinko will be harder than getting me to say something nice about French philosophers or to change my monarchist views.

Star Wars Episode II> It plays in Evening Star Theatre, which is a ten minute walk from my barracks, next week. Woohoo. If it's a total bomb, the most I'd lose is 3.50.

The title of Count in Clones sounds surprising, since the Republic and Empire struck me as Roman elements, while Counts are a much later invention.

That's it for now. Good night

Warpmind > thanks!

(what that's about is that yesterday, 5/23, was Tim and my tenth wedding anniversary. Ten years ago that day, we were on a boat in Humboldt Bay with our various chums and relations, and for the only time in my life I was a size 10. I should dig out a pic.)

Spacebabie > Becca has already had Harry Potter on Mars with her various Lego sets, so it's probably inevitable.

Jan > yeah, the Survivor on Sunday thing ... sweeps month and all, I guess. I didn't much care who won by that point since I'd been rooting for Paschal (at least, ever since Hunter and Gina got the ax). What bemused me most was all the stuff about honesty and integrity. Of _course_ people are going to lie and connive. It's part of the game.

Star Wars > Tim went to see it on Tuesday while I slept. He had been champing at the bit and came home disappointed, which only further decreased my wish to see it.

Spent the week working on my game rather than my writing. The party has just left Thanis and is headed south, with the eventual plan of touring the Isles (dropping in on the Golden One, maybe, eh Jen? <g>) and then exploring the Southern Plains in hopes of finding the ruins of Govannisan.

<>WARNING! SEMI-ADULT CONTENT!<>

Gside and Imzadi: Ok, let me clear up the nude housekeeping thing with an excerpt from Cosmo: (From the point of women)
"Scrubbing toilets is not a glam job, but getting paid $65 an hour to do it in the buff can be a total bonus. These kinky cleaning girls sweep and polish while the man of the house gets off on ogling them. Agencies like Babe-A-Maid forbid fondling, but if fellas get frisky, the girls have been known to clock'em with their Dust Busters."

<>END SEMI-ADULT CONTENT!<>

Gside: <BSD isn't bad, ask Imzadi. It's BSoDs that are ugly. That or it's an odd case of overlaping jargon definitions.>
Overlapping definitions, definitely. I get a few of these at work. Little things, mostly people thinking that the little Java-based pieces of crap called Netstations are actually PCs.
<I've seen pictures, but you saw a place actually selling it?>
Yep. Good Vibrations. Weird.
<Which reminds me, why can't our comic cons be more like Spain's?>
It's our basis on the Puritanical belief system.
<And mostly asexual, right? So you can use whatever label you want.>
It's definitely nice when it's hard to classify what sex (if any) your species is.

Well, I am impatient!
<Man. Or are you lying to keep them all to yourself?>
Na. They left. They are looking to de-purify some guy named Nerus.
<What would the Knights Who Say Ni say?>
I wish they had a Monty Python Christmas CD with the Knights Who Say Ni singing Jingle Bells.

Imzadi: <And you know where that company is big? JAPAN. Home of the pedophile>
I don't know... It was the one that had their shirts pulled for "Wong Brothers cleaning service. It takes two Wongs to make it White"
<Um...How does it run 26 miles?>
Kegel exercises.
<No I didn't. I'm a mac user. There is no step three>
WHAT! No on-line comics?
<And you do eat women...>
Well, there is a woman inside of me that is screaming to be let out! Oh, wait... nope, she stopped screaming! Must remember to chew!
<Will they fly them to my apartment>
There is probably a local one to you.

1) I actually *finished* my structural engineering final before time ran out. Well, sorta. I kind of skipped over one of those pesky frame moment diagrams, but that's about it.

2) Not only did I *pass* my geotech final, but I got a B/B+ on it! JOY!

I have one more final tomorrow morning, but as far as I'm concerned I'm already finished. Bring on the open book exam!

In other news...nothing. Oh yeah, by this time tomorrow night I'll be home tweet home!

Warpmind: <<brandishing his Illuminati ring>>: Is that wise in public? <<What did you mean, calling this crowd "vanilla"?>>: Dude, you're whiter than I am ;-) <<probably vent a little sexual frustration again>>: Um...

Cuz that's what I want for my birthday. <<females just taste better>>: I don't want to hear about you eating men. <<A sucky one, but one that works>>: Until you have the same problem again and have to re-install. Only in Windows is "reinstall the OS" a catch-all solution.

Gside: <<BSD isn't bad, ask Imzadi>>: True that! <<It's BSoDs that are ugly. That or it's an odd case of overlaping jargon definitions>>: You often get both when a conversation between a techie and a non-techie takes place. <<About sixty percent of my DigE grade depended on only 12 questions>>: Hardly impressive. My final today was 5 problems, three hours. <<Just know that each successive aleph* is the size of the power ser of the previous aleph*>>: Well you're useless then. <<Of course, but is that what you dreamt?>>: No. <<Might as well get a plan of attack ready in case she misses a couple>>: Plan: Scream like a little girl. <<What would the Knights Who Say Ni say?>>: Ni, probably. <<Are they naked when they clean your house, or are they just hot when naked?>>: Do they come *when* they clean your house, or just *to* clean your house? Or do they take a few minutes off and come then?

Anyway, I kept posting these little posts and I figured, WTF, why not just post a big one!

Odd and scary thing: I saw a Hello Kitty vibe on-line... for SALE! THAT is scary!
There is a company making thong underwear for 10 year old girls.

Gave the Tempo a tune-up yesterday. Next day off, I am replacing the oil-pan gasket.

Moving stuff: Rented a moving truck and did a marathon snatch and shove from our house to the storage unit. Got a inspection on the new house, all is good. Just waiting for the FHA crap to go through.

Imzadi: 
The look on their face was well worth it!
<"Food. Sex. Food. Sex.">
True, true. But you forgot the third one in the holy trinity: On-line comics.
<Except that it was the first one for Mac OS, but other than that nothing special>
I thought you said it was THE first! (MP3 Alarm clock)
<Au contraire. Humanities majors do breed, because they're attractive>
SOME are.
<Good. I want a keyboard that feels substantial, like its not gonna fall apart when I abuse it.>
Yeah, but it seemed TOO thick. My favorite keyboard was 1985 vintage. Weighed a ton, but not due to plastic.
<Fire Storm is a black lesbian?>
Well, Xenomorphs ARE black...
<HAHAHAHA. Tech support can be really painful, so stay calm>
She ain't tech support. She finds stuff on the website that people are too lazy to look for themselves.
<They can clean the bedroom, too!>
YOu know, there is a service out there that has hot naked women come and clean your house.
<Ugh that should be an interesting read.>
DOubt I will write a whole story like that... well, any time soon.
<I'm sure chicks dig his auto-vibration features>
Reminds me of the (horrible) movie Space Truckers...

Really? To me, the vegetarians flash tastes a little sweeter, not like the slightly bitter taste of the omnivores (It's the nitrogen). But no athletes! Too stringy and gamy. And females just taste better.
<What kind of a solution is that!? That would take hours!>

Hmm... You don't have DNS installed on the server, do you? And, if so, did you install internet sharing or DNS first?

Lain: <yeah.. TRIED that..>
Format and re-install. OR boot to DOS and DELTREE c:\windows and DELTREE C:\PROGRA~1
THEN re-install from scratch.

THAT is the best solution. But mine keeps most of your saved info on the drive still.

*Frustration Abounds Here in Smallville* Just a side comment: Pratchett books are Da Bomb! Tho I myself am partial to the books about the Watch and that oh so human character of Samuel Vimes! On the Horizon: I've concluded that the telephone is a good thing! Everyone should use it! *HINT HINT* I just got told to go home from work cuz I was *fifteen minutes late* and he'd called somebody else. *explative explitive explitive* Least I still got tonight's hours to balance out my life. *wait a minute-who'm I kidding-WHAT LIFE?* Note To Self: must buy new alarm clock. I swear I set it and it must've gone off but I'm so attuned to the dang thing I don't even REMEMBER getting up, walking across the room and turning it off! I mean hey, if I was a heavy drinker or something I'd assume I'd be used to bouts of unexplained unconscious movements *no offense intended to any drinkers out there* But these moments of non lucid behaviour have got to stop! *I mean what if I do something terribly rash-LIKE HAVE FUN- or something? That's be *gasp* horrible!* Tho part of the sleep factor is prolli due to the fact that it took me about two hours to fall asleep last night-due to the fact that it's 36 degrees here and the school is too CHEAP to turn on the heat! I swear I understand why they find homeless people popsicles every winter. Do you KNOW what it's like to not be able to sleep cuz u're shivering so DANG much? It's horrid. *And this ain't no lil complaint-I tried to protect myself from the cold-was wearing sweats-two pairs of socks-burrowed under T-shirt sheets, a comforter, and an afghan. <The knit blanket type, not the people type> AND I STILL COULDN'T GET WARM! (Someone tell me why I bother staying here?-ching-oh yeah, it's cuz I want a degree!) Sorry for all the rants. Trust me, if I had something valid to contribute to the discussion it'd prolli be listed right about here! *Frozen brain only works well for TROLLS!* A few other grips on my list but they're more personal and petty in nature so I'll not bother you all with them. Oh yeah, if ANYONE has any ideas for me on HOW TO KEEP WARM then please share them-short of bonfire in middle of dormroom, cuz we life in a building older than dirt and I'm sure if it went up like tons of little match sticks and I was the cause of it they'd find a way of making me pay for every rotting piece of timber and rusted nail.
Hope life is warm and sunny where you all are!

FS>> <<Ick. Lather:Rinse:Re-Install Windows. If you keep getting BSD's, you may have a virus, corrupt file, or both>> yeah.. TRIED that.. but, cos my dad is SO smart.. he sent me an OLDER version of windows than the one i already had. so my computer looks at it and says "HA HA!" like nelson frim the simpsons and wont reinstall anything. sucks. anyways, hes coming to visit me and kira (the wee kitten) tomorrow so he might bring me the newest version of windows there is. in the meantime, i am going to burn all my stuff onto disk in preparation for a complete hard drive makeover... joy.

moonkitty>> <<Lilah and Wesley -- dark and fun, and rife with possibilities>> eww! but.. interesting...
<<Possible Anya and Giles romance.... YAY!!!!!>> EWWW!!! shes old enough to be his.. like.. greatgreatgreatgreatandsoforth grandmother! but then again, there was that one ep where they all forgot who they were and giles thought he was engaged to anya and we KNOW how the buffy writers like to foreshadow these things.. geh..
<<Spike, thing with the soul,"Make me as I was so Buffy gets what she deserves" -- saw it coming a mile away>> guess i must be a dumb-head cos i didnt :P i should know better by now..
<<By the way, just because he has a soul, doesn't mean he's a vampire with a soul. We don't know yet if he'll remain a vampire.>> good point. but hey, two slayers, two vamps with souls, could work out.. ;) speaking of.. whatever happend to faith, anyways..?
<<Nice use of series history with the church. Too bad the writers had to over play the Satanist card>> yeah.. kinda predictable..
man, you know i was kinda hoping willow would stay evil and then evil-spike and evil-willow would have made good big-bads for the next season *sigh* at least the ending wouldnt have been so much like that yucky cheese that comes in squeezy bottles.. :P

spacebabie>> <<I think that�s the first time he did it by
himself. In the first season. He brought Buffy back to life with his breath so that SHE could kill the master. In the third season he was just KEY guy, which was part of Buffy�s plan. In the fourth season He along with Giles and Willow fused with her.>> no no no, i didnt mean saved the world in a season finale way.. wasnt there this one ep in the middle of a season where the world was ending but xander was the only one who knew? and he saved the world but never told anyone about it? im SO sure i remember that.. something under the library? was it in the same ep where he and faith got it on? and he was driving around in the car saying "i.. had SEX!" im SO sure..
then again, its been years since i saw the ep so.. dunno how good my memory is..

kira is cute. i have piccies.. but no webpage to put them on as of yet. as soon as i have a webpage, i will share. dad was... pleased? that i had a kitten??? and.. he said he would pay to have her spayed at the appropriate time??? who is he, what has he done with my father and.. how long can he stay!? :D

uhm.. i think thats about it. for now, at any rate.

~Christine Morgan fanfic moment of the week~

In the midst of reading "Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire" to the boys, I get up to the part where Professor McGonagall is talking about the Yule Ball and "how we can all let our hair down" and I crack up because all I can think of is that bit in Christine's HP fanfic where McGonagall's jaded past as a pinup with a riding crop shows up.

Josh>Acutally, the phoenix _was_ designed as an interceptor. That was the thing that got it bought. It was (maybe still is) the most expensive combat missile bought by USN.

FS>I've checked and doubled. Dialup is shared, enabled for On Demand dialing. I had a rather funny situation where i had accidentally configured the server for RAS. anytime we got a phone call, the computer answered with a loud squeal (the other end of the handshake). got that fixed. I just find it odd that the _only_ thing that gets through is MSN Chat. And I can ping _some_ addresses. But only when i use the address, not the URL. That is why i think it's a dns config issue. MSN Chat connects to its server by connecting to an address. The others all look for urls.

Josh Again> The only reason I'm having trouble iwth my stuff is that i'm trying to figure out the configuration of the AlphaServer I have. I've never been able to play with this kind of hardware before, and I've no documentation, so I'm playing it by ear. It actually works well, but I can't run any of the things i want to run on it because it uses a 64bit RISC, and for all that my info says there is somewhere on the web a 32bit emulator for it, i can't find it.

Oh...general announcement.

Special thanks to Chris and Hudson for space!) This is the current 'look' I'm going for. (I'm currently trying to fix a few 'breaks' in the tables that sometimes occur, usually due to the font size on people's browsers)

You may look at this site, but PLEASE don't use any of the features (even to mess around with)!! (as of some DO work and this is hosted on a school server) I _WILL_ know if you use certain ones..so please DON"T. I just thought I would show everyone...since this was one of my college final projects..and I worked very hard to get this webpage done in a way that it also wouldn't interfer with my gathering work or school work.

Tell me what you think! ^_^ As far as I know..the 'official' site will be located at http://mgc.gargoyles-fans.org/

Sooo...yeah. ^_^;;

gotta go! *poof!*

Metaldemon and lain>

ahhhhh I understand all of this now....

This is not about what I said to Gunjack in a post here. I said what I said a few days ago and yet no one said anything to me about it, no one jumped down my throat except for Gunjack. Now all of the sudden Lain and Metaldemon is nipping at my butt.

It's because of an email that I sent to Gunjack. Not something that I posted here in public, but a private email that was sent to him. It wasn't sent as a group email, but apparently he made turned it into one.
Whatever. I don't care who he forwarded it to. However, if you want to discuss it or attack me for it - don't bring it in here. Don't use something that I said several days ago as an excuse to attack me now for actually things said in an email.
I will not discuss it in here any further. This is not the place for that. It was an email and therefore should stay within the email realm.

Another one bites the dust...

Finished my project management final in just over two and a half hours. I hate finals where it takes forever because the prof decided to have 100 1-point questions instead of 10 10-point questions. Big problems are *fun*! Anyway, I think I kicked its ass. I'm pretty good at this scheduling stuff and cost analysis, maybe I should be an accountant. I'm certainly Type-A enough.

Spent today finishing up the cheat pages for my structural engineering final. I think if these were really prepping us for the real world, we should be allowed to take finals with computers, books, and a cell phone. Because in real life if we didn't know...we'd call the professor.

Wishful thinking, I suppose. Anywho, my head hurts. Lots of cramming. And I probably still can't draw the influence line for a given system. Oh well, I'll just pray.

Metaldemon has a point: shut the hell up. Get in a flame war over something interesting, like nuking the entire middle east. Petty cat fights are lame.

Fire Storm: <<Especially the female vegitarians>>: I think I'd have to disagree.

Fire Storm: <<re-install windows>>: What kind of a solution is that!? That would take hours! <<you may have a virus, corrupt file, or both>>: Why not just run norton? <<the phase of the moon may be to blame>>: My OS hasn't crashed in about...4 months.

Archwolf: <Actually, the setup is like this>
Wierd... Have you tried throwing in a Win98 box to try it out? Win2K and NT are occasionally a royal b!#$ to get to network properly.
Can you do all that on the server?
Can you even PING a webserver from one of the clients? (Try pinging 208.143.21.56). If you can't even ping from a client, then something is setup wrong.
Do you have it setup so that the modem is shared over the LAN (In Network properties)? Easy to overlook.
And don't worry if you can't get it to work right. I have one system that no matter what I do, I can't get it to work on my LAN, but it works at work (My laptop).
I'll be honest with ya... I have never used a modem and standard internet sharing. Up until my DSL, I used a Proxy prodram.
GIVEN that you use MSN for Dial-up, that may be a cause for the problems (When using Windows built-in internet sharing.)

You know, if people stopped making little snide remarks at the end of a point, stuff like this can be avoided. Seriously.

Jan> If you observe something, and you know it is liable to piss the other person off, don't mention it. It keeps things from exploding. "The old saying, "you can dish it out, but you can't take it" comes to my mind right now..." That is VERY liable to piss someone off. And it did, and this is what it caused.

Don't think I put myself on this high "holier-than-thou" pulpit becuase I know for a fact I have done these same actions, and I have seen what it does. It's jsut not a smart thing to do.

Gunjack shouldn't have made his nice little remark either becuase I am sure it got Jan angrier--which isn't good.

Comments like those constitute (unconscious) flame-bait to me. There is no other explanation that can come to mind to explain a reasoning behind it. SO in the future, if you think, "Oh,this wil really get to 'em" or "let's see how he likes that one," it might be best not to post, cuz someone is liable to start a fire.

And I still can't see how Gunjack has changed. Changing your opinion on Israel and Depleted Uranium does make you a left-wing nut; I hate to burst your bubble, but Gunjack still supports capitalism and the death penalty and a plethora of other conservative things (I have spent a lot of time trying to change his mind, but he won't budge). He is not left-wing; I would be embarressed to call him left-wing.

I know I really don't post here anymore, work just keeps me busy and exhausted. But I do read, and I do wipe the CR. But I just had to pot on a certain thing. In all the reviews for Ep 2, I'm noticing people saying the guy playing Anakin being a bad actor... The fact is, he's not. He was great in "My Life as a House." (Similarly to how Jake Lyoyd was decent in "Jingle All the Way", crappy movie that it was.) I can only assume that Lucas is going for "Emotionless" in the Anakin character. (And I know he did in Ep 1. Some of the behind the scenes stuff shows the kid acting, and Lucas then telling him to put less emotion in it). So, I can only assume Lucas is alone to blame on this for TELLING the actors not to act, not the actors themselves...

What I did see, however was: "you are not qualified to judge anyone but yourself", "if you make judgements", "to the people you are judging", "these judgements you make" Plus the scripture references and quotes refer to making judgments of others.
Soooo... I would say it's a safe bet that she was in fact accusing me of judging Gunjy-Wunjy and was not referring to how I address others. I honestly don't know how you came to that conclusion. *blinks*

I didn't take the time to dig out your email because I didn't feel it necessary at this time. :) I'm not flaming or insulting - just pointing out why I feel she was attacking me for something I didn't do and why I don't really agree with your analysis of what she said.

Now I got this little rough patch. sigh. Dentist appointment for next week. Receptionist told me to "baby it"... how the heck do you baby a tooth? I'm chewing some orbit gum right now, as that's the only thing I could think of.

Well, finally cleaning my downstairs rec room. Or is that wrecked room? Three kittens can do a hella lot of damage. I going to have to count an entire open box of Animerica mags and possibly an art book or two a loss. One was a book I'm not even sure what it's about. All Japanese, sigh. Friend of mine picked it up for me on one of his trips to Japan.

Hey, anyone interested in maybe doing a group trip to Japan sometime? Not exactly a gargoyles gig, but there seems to be a lot of anime/manga fans here. It would be neat to go with a group where there is common interest.

Just a thought.

Well, shimmy time! Or is that shine time? Cleaning and listening to music at the same time.

later

Lain> what in the blue blazes are you talking about?? I made no judgment. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I pointed out a PATTERN that I have noticed � that�s NOT making any type of judgment. *shakes head and rolls eyes* You are just looking for something to slam me with, provoke me into a flame war with you, or attempt to make yourself look innocent or the peacemaker� which none of the above is going to work.
<< then you end up seeming very foolish to the people you are judging.>> No, what�s foolish is when you pull crapola such as this. Once again, I did NOT make any judgment. There is a difference between making a judgment and pointing out a pattern of behavior.
<< these judgements you make then form the reality you perceive people through. it is then very difficult - if not impossible, to try to break through these perceptions>> I have no idea of what you are referring to. I suspect it is more of an attempt on your part to give the impression that I sit around spreading lies and evil perceptions about you and/or Gunjack. Hate to burst your bubble, but neither one of you are grand topics in any of my conversations with others.
Of all people in this world to quote the Bible to me� *chuckles* you betcha. If you want to play �use the Bible verse to slam someone else� then count me out. I don�t use the Bible in such a way � I have far more respect for it than to use it in such a manner. But, since you don�t particularly believe in the Bible for the purpose in which it is intended nor do you believe in God � you go right ahead and play the games with the verses. I could care less.

What I said to Gunjack, I said to HIM � not to you. He responded and it ended. I haven�t said anything else about it, I didn�t fight back, I didn�t make any attempt pick up the torch to what could have become a flame war. So tell me, lain� why do you bring this up several days later? Why do you bring this here in the CR and not to the privacy of email?
I think that you should practice what you preach.

jannie>><< After reading your reply to SJ, I noticed a pattern that you seem to have nowadays... You take the shots and then request any replies back to you be given thru the privacy of email. The old saying, "you can dish it out, but you can't take it" comes to my mind right now...>> i am reminded of something said by a very wise man, "how can you say, "my friend, let me take the speck out of your eye," when you don't see the log in your own eye?... first, take the log out of your own eye, then perhaps you might see how to take the speck out of your friends eye." just a thought but.. you might want to try reading up on that.
you are not qualified to judge anyone but yourself. you do not know the whole story of anyone other than yourself. if you make judgements using the little snippets of what you have seen and heard over (of all rediculous unreliable things) the internet, then you end up seeming very foolish to the people you are judging. these judgements you make then form the reality you perceive people through. it is then very difficult - if not impossible, to try to break through these perceptions and it leads to further misunderstanding and frustration.
this is why that particular wise man said to "stop it."
two more quotes i heard this past week on the same topic:
"it is much easier to be critical than to be correct" and
"you cant clear your own fields when youre counting the rocks on your neighbours farm"

i mean no offence, im just trying to point something out that might help us all resolve out longstanding differences.

Win98? Got net sharing on? Any Firewall software on the server or other systems?
As for DNS, I personally suggest using static IP addresses (like, 128.89.63.1 for the server. Make sure the last octet is .1 for the server. As for subnet, 255.255.255.0 is good.)
Then set the gateway for the other computers to the address of the server.
And, if all else fails, download a proxy program from Cnet.

Buffy/Angel spoilers, etc.

*

Hmm... As finales go, these were the weakest, especially after last years fantastic grab you by the throat and shake you to you rattle ones.

Last year, Trapped in a very cool dimension where Cordy is by turns in gut wrenching danger, and queen of the realm with ultra beefy champion, we learn more about Lorne, Wesley makes the transformation from wimp to TRUE LEADER, and FRED appears, in an awesomely romantic way, now how cool was that?

This year, Conner (who I hate as a teenager) dumps Angel in the ocean. No suspense there, Angel won't die and he'll have to get rescued sometime next season because otherwise there'd be no show called Angel. All this after a crushingly trite and predictable storyline. Who didn't expect Hoyt (sp?) to set up Conner to go after Angel? Or to cap it off by making Conner think Angel killed Hoyt? As a seven year old I could have predicted that!

That aside, Cordy asending/becoming an Angel was predictable, but cool, and I bet she is back next season. Hated her hairstyle though. Whatshisface that broke up with her because he saw she was in love with angel. Kinda lame, sweet, but lame. Felt bad for the poor shmuck.

Love Skip. Love, love, love Skip. The high point of the entire finale was Skip.

Lilah and Wesley -- dark and fun, and rife with possibilities.

So out of 10, I give the finale a 7. Better than most broadcast shows, but below the usually 8 to 10 mark I've come to expect from an Angel episode, much less the Finale episode.

Buffy --

Again, not as good as last years finale. But a keeper for the Willow factor. Dawn with a sword! Well finally!! Xander with a predictable, but still heart warming "I love you" to Willow. Okay, I got sappy and cried, even though the writing was trite, just because it WAS Xander and Willow.

Bit bits... Rath getting drained and tossed like a cool frosty one on a hot day. yay!!!

Giles coming back! Yay! Filled with out of no where super powers, boo to the writing, but yay because Giles looked cool.

Possible Anya and Giles romance.... YAY!!!!!

Spike, thing with the soul,"Make me as I was so Buffy gets what she deserves" -- saw it coming a mile away.

But I'm still looking forward to it *^_^* -- By the way, just because he has a soul, doesn't mean he's a vampire with a soul. We don't know yet if he'll remain a vampire.

I am hopefull about the "Buffy Gets What She Deserves" because I believe what she deserves is a fluffy platinum blonde teddy bear named Spike. Ooo!!! Spike!!!

Poor little magic shop!!! It's so trashed.

Nice use of series history with the church. Too bad the writers had to over play the Satanist card.

Jonothan is alive and headed for Mexico with Andrew, hey, that's where HARMONY is!!! Now, Harmony and Andrew would be perfect together, except Andrew is rather obviously gay. And I think Jonothan deserves better than Harmony. oh well... But I think it's a meeting that should happen anyways. Three Sunnydale illumni who've fought the slayer and lived (well in Harmony's case, remains undead) to tell the tale.

Anya was very cool, and love the neat teleporty trick thingy. But as a Vengence Demon, I think she's headed for trouble with her fellow demons.

8 out 10. The worst finale of a Buffy season, but still decent and worth watching. Nothing really stood out, and it's mainly carried by the Willow factor.

End Buffy Angel comments

okay, things to do

Ugh... One of THOSE days... Hot'n'sunny. Makes my hormones flow free. And I HATE it when that happens; a testosterone level of about 500% of normal, and NOBODY to use it on... in ANY manner. *Grumble* Oh, well... At least my biceps keep gaining mass this way... :/

Greg B: Well, it's not *my* claim, originally. I think it was Aaron who first mentioned it in my presence...

Mara: Speaking of waiting and fulfillment... what's the ETA these days, ya think? ��

Green Baron: Six or seven months? *Kerblinkity* I need to check some dates here, methinks... Either that, or it's been some time since you updated your MSN profile... �� Oh, and as for the intimacy thing etc., just remember: You're not your father. Or your uncle. You're you.

That gives me some hope. Friggin Temp agencies are useless. Folks, Pittsburgh is a dead market for IT ppl. Avoid it like it's Cleveland.

Buffy comments******

Damn, I liked evil willow. Xander should have broken her neck when she came back around, to keep her from being more of a problem.

And it looks like UPN dcided the show is worse now because they have no soul-enhanced vamp. I think they need to wake up and realize that the show is not so good because it has had no script-enhnaced episodes since moving to UPN.
*****

Jag Comments******

1)It's a dumb Russian sub-skipper who doesn't know what radiation poisoning looks like.

2) A Phoenix can nock an incomming missle out at more than 10 miles, so the whole "oh no we can't target it" crap was dumb

3) Bud. Nuff said.

*****

Starwars*****

Laughed my ass off at the movie. I was in the back row of the theater. All of us took turns MiSTing the movie. That was the only way to watch it. I mean, 3PO just shouldn't bust out that many one liners.

Don't get me wrong. I was very entertained by the movie, and did like it. It just...I dunno. It wasn't a Starwars Movie, if you know what i mean.

You other computer geeks out there,help me out with something. I'm missing something basic, i think, but i don;t know waht it is:: I've networked a part of my house. Since my dad is slow getting away from dialup service, we use a modem to connect the net. Using the computer with a modem as a server, I've shared it's Net connection. I can cause a dial on demand when i log onto MSN or try to find multiplayer UT servers. However, IE, Netscape, AIM, and the UT server search cannot actually find anything. Only MSN appears to be able to make use of the connection. The only thing that i can figure is that I have a DNS configuration set wrong, but they all appear to be correct. If any of you have any ideas, please let me know.

I was also hoping to have my next fic out friday. Unfortunatly, I'm having some issues with getting my characters to do what i want. I also have been working on acutally describing people (that was the one real comment i got back on my first fic->I dont' describe my characters at all). So, with luck, maybe next week i can get out something. I keep wanting to add much comedy to my fics...but i'm really trying to go dark. Some relief is good,but...i've jsut got characters trying to ham everything up. Not good. Not good at all......

oh well, more job hunting to do.

Skip! I love Skip, but that sucked that Cordy had to leave. Conner sinking Angel. Well I heard a rumor that Wesley will end up rescuing Angel. And speaking of Wesley
YUM! He is looking so hot recently Lilah: Merower hiss. She got into bed with him. I knew she had the hots for him but I didn�t know he would actually give in to her
Buffy Spoilers____________________________________________________________
Giles came back Yay! And he was so cool. I�m glad Jonathon didn�t die, I don�t give a crap about Andrew but I like Jonathon.
Xander saved the day!
Spike got his soul returned: That I didn�t see coming. I guess we can�t call Angel THE vampire with a soul anymore.
I hope they bring back Clem for the next season and it looks like a possibility for a Anya/Giles relationship.

Lain<<<yay xander saved the world! HUZZAH!!!!!! this makes.. twice now?>>>I think that�s the first time he did it by himself. In the first season. He brought Buffy back to life with his breath so that SHE could kill the master. In the third season he was just KEY guy, which was part of Buffy�s plan. In the fourth season He along with Giles and Willow fused with her.

spike was lying on the floor, kinda panting, having i guess just defeated his last opponent. as hes talking, he kind of gets up to a kneeling position.
the demon guy says something like "you have endured the necessary trials"
"bloody right i 'ave, now give me what i came here for"
"hmmmm very well, we shall make you as you were" (or something to that effect..)
then the demon whacks him in the chest and a big glowy thing happens.. and the demon says:
"WE SHALL RESTORE YOUR SOOOOOOULLLL!!!!"
and spike says"
"AAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
and then in classis joss whedon style.. cut to credits :P

And another day of...you guessed it: studying. Project management is tomorrow at 8AM, so think happy thoughts.

Weather hasn't cleared up any, either.

I just need to get through the next 60 hours or so and all will be good. I'm almost all packed up. Grumble.

Kathy: <<why do the stories seem like he banged them out over the course of a long weekend right before shooting is supposed to start>>: Give him some credit: it took two weekends.

Patrick Toman: <<I'm saving my money to get my annual dose of sci-fic camp from MIB2>>: I think AotC may be worth the price of admission just for the action scenes. They should rebate you for every minute of dialogue, though. <<heads off to the paradoxical task of sitting inside a cubicle while attempting to think outside the box>>: You really are in dilbert-land. Glad my job description doesn't include any thinking 8-)

Todd: <<Angel being imprisoned in a crate and dumped into the sea>>: Doesn't anyone care that he's immortal?

Tom: Thanks. I try.

Wilek: <<even a nerve conduit or two>>: That's what he said. Dicks.

Greg: <<Here's hoping I never have to see a disgusting Ewok or Gungan again>>: I don't recall them killing him yet. <<The acting was so bland it was like watching Green Baron and Daphne here pretending to be a couple>>: NICE! <<Count Dooku (what a name!>>: Hehe, dookie. <<why was Dooku a Count? And the Count of what?>>: Not all Jedi are poor guys who walk around in robes 8-) <<Never saw the kid playing Anakin anywhere else though, and gods was he terrible>>: Why couldn't they get a real actor? There are lots of real actors that age. Hell, Jason Mewes would have made a better Anakin. BONG! <<Lucas told them not to act at all so that Anakin would not look so bad in comparrison>>: That would be just like him too. As much as I love the star wars universe...Lucas is a tool. <<If he's smart he'll get someone else to write and direct Episode III, preferably who ever wrote and directed "Empire Strikes Back">>: He was sick of being shown up after ESB. He doesn't want to look stupid again. Sadly, the damage has been done. <<I'd love to see the Black Cat. Doubt we will since people may perceive her as a Catwoman rip-off>>: Isn't she? <<And suddenly you're becoming really, really sexy also>>: Dude, she kissed the baron. That negates all appeal. <<That's all well and good, but I don't want to hear it>>: Oh grow up. <<when I rule, we'll just clone soldiers, and genetically enhance them. They'll be brutal monsters>>: And the number of terrorist attacks will increase tenfold. <<Writers who write great women are of course Greg Weisman and J Michael Straczynski>>: You're kidding me, right? Greg W's leading ladies were tomboys and psychopaths. Some women are *actually* feminine, you know. <<There is nothing virtuous about being a virgin>>: Damn straight. <<most of these people are people you wouldn't want to have sex with anyway>>: So true! <<it's this kind of attitude that gets us the crap Lucas has been vomiting on us>>: Agreed! Fortunately, people who read BOOKS have more taste, and thus star wars books don't suck. Well, except one, but she doesn't write any more. <>: That's a big crap.

Gunjack: <>: I feel the same way. <<whether YOU changed from "lovable asshole" to simple "asshole">>: I think he stopped being lovable when he stopped dropping by. He's de-volving into "jackass". <>: Does that make you a whore? <>: Oh come on. If it wasn't a flame, it was certainly flamebait. And the latter shouldn't be tolerated any more than the former. <<Where is this world you come from?>>: New York. Eastern seaboard.

Jan: <<You take the shots and then request any replies back to you be given thru the privacy of email>>: I'm thinking about just blocking this entire CR from my mailbox. I like my flame wars in public, where I can make an ass out of myself *and* my opponents. <<It sometimes takes great inner strength and conviction to remain a virgin>>: I wonder if this is a catch-22. It only takes great inner strength to stay a virgin because sex is so popular. Yet it wouldn't be so popular if there weren't so many people saying it was virtuous to avoid it. Weird. <<There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone who wishes to remain a virgin before marriage>>: I whole heartedly agree. But I don't think it makes a person special. After all, we're here to f*ck like rabbits. <<everyone is going to hell if they don't repent>>: Even if they are ;-) <<There are more programs for children in this country than anywhere else in the world>>: In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king. Even if his eye is lazy.

Shinigami: <>: You are such a coke fiend. <<YOu know, in Eygpt, my name is the word for "Bitch" in Arabic?>>: Hardly impressive. <<First SJ gets to have his turn bashing you, then you can adjourn to a private room for your little mastubatory fight. My self-importance Decrees as such. Oh and tape it, since you both get off on this sort of thing>>: LOL that is great!

Green Baron: <<It's actually warm in this cold, miserable land>>: Grrr, don't remind me. It actually rained again this morning. <>: Presuming a bit much, aren't you? <<may I point out that SJ is a virgin>>: ACK! I don't believe it. Wait, yes I do. I remember how angry I was before I got laid...yes, I was once worse. <>: I think I'm gonna be ill. <<Then why bother getting married in that case?>>: Maybe he's foolish enough to want to spend his life with one woman. <<since its your kid, I fully support that choice>>: LOL that's funny. <<it can be a challenge to see that I can do it>>: Dude, no one wants to have sex with you. Trust me. <<Ironically my roomate who claims to be a Christian dosn't understand how sex can be psycholigically damaging>>: How is that ironic? <>: Not everyone who engages in premarital sex gets a disease. I've done it several times and never caught anything. And its reasonable that people get tested. I get tested regularly, and I make sure to the best of my ability that my partners are safe too. And then I use protection. Your "argument" of a disease to support your position is flimsy at best. <<Now I have this sick image of SJ, Lain, and Gunjack in some weid sort of sexual debate>>: That's not a pretty image.

Aaron: <<or if space aliens and evil transdimensional clones have replaced both of you>>: Certainly would explain a lot.

Mooncat: <>: AMEN! And better in bed, too. <<Must remember to watch out for stampeding herds of horny horses while attending the Gathering>>: More likely that you'll be run over by herds of horny men. <<Do virgins taste better than those who are not?>>: Depends on what you're referring to, but I'm inclined to say YES.

Gside: <<They asked for the spanking, and you wouldn't be spanked yourself>>: Doesn't matter. I'll take my oral sex before spanking someone else, too. <<leaving something larger for the topics>>: I thought aleph one was countable? What's aleph three, anyway? <>: I'd rather find boobs. <>: No, that's the right place for me. <<Flamebaiter>>: Masterflamebaiter? <<what kind of list is this that allows large hairy engineers?>>: One I don't want to be on. <<Imzadi has a better accuracy on Freudian slip detection, anyway>>: Why does that sound like something from star trek?

Alright folks, I'm off to dream of project planning and budget control. Maybe naked chicks.

Purity of heart/mind/soul vs purity of body... well I guess body has the edge because it's definitive, while the others are subjective. It's very difficult to tell if someone is truly pure in heart/mind/soul, or just unlucky.

Besides, all those Dragons on the haut cuisine list, and the Unicorns on the "Babes love horny horses" list can't be wrong.

Green Baron - <<In the past few months, you and Patrick were acting like a couple and the thought of you two at the Gathering and what you might do crossed my mind. It is more of a joke than anything. I also left out a part about Patrick having big scratches on his back for the next few months after G02 :) >>

Nani? Strange, I hadn't noticed anything different in how Patrick and I post to each other here in the last few months. Actually, the we've flirty, pretty much since day one. *^_~* I'm flirty with other peeps too, though I do try to hold back for the mostly vanilla crowd here.

I've been such a good kitty >^,,^< !!! *hugs self purring*

<<As for sacrificing Spacebabie and myself, may I point out that SJ is a virgin ;) and Spacebabie and I love cats.>>

*adds name to virgin list* wheee!!! (though to be sure, do you mean Severius Jr?)

Spacebabie <<but aren�t the virgins that are pure in mind as well as in body the better ritual fodder? I�m sure GB can hook you up with some Nuns in training.>>

Hmmm novices (literally!) *smiles, sharp and bright*

But I prefer virgins with lovely, debauched minds. They are ever so much more fun and interesting.

<>

Ooo? If you want me and Patrick to leave the room so you guys can have some quality time *^_~*, just let us know.

Warpmind <<Y'know, should you ever wind up in Norway, and happen to be short on virgins, you can always let me know, too, even if I'm not getting to G'02... };p >>

Ooo... more virgins? *list gets longer* *^_~* I'll drop you a note if I hit Norway anytime soon. I actually have a few friends in various fandoms there, and one never knows.

Stephen SRJ- <<(Re:Virgins) - remind me to watch out when you're around... this lil' black duck doesn't plan to be part of any ritual sacrifice. ^_^ >>

Umm... okay. I'll remember to warn you *^_^*... *feels like the fox being given the keys to the hen house* hee hee hee...

Mmm... duck... >^,,^<

Gside <<You forgot me, even with all my complaining.>>

Awww... *pats Gside consolingly* Don't worry, I've got you on the magic list. *snuggles list and purrssss*

Wow, this fandom is just a Unicorn Bait smorgasboard...

Must remember to watch out for stampeding herds of horny horses while attending the Gathering. >^@@^< yeeks!

*mooncat exits, singing...*

Do virgins taste better than those who are not?
Are they salty, or sweeter, more juicy or what?
Do you savor them slowly? Gulp them down on the spot?
Do virgins taste better than those who are not?

Mention my name and I appear.

To the admins: don't worry. I'm not going to unleash on Moochie in here for his comments to me. They were just responses to comments I made to him several days before. For whatever reason (vacation I guess?), his response to them was delayed a few days, so I suppose when they broke, everybody tensed in preparation for another battle.

But it won't happen. Anything that does happen will happen outside of the CR. So don't worry. I won't yell at Gunjack here. Maybe I'll yell at someone about something in here, but it won't be Gunjack.

Michael: Got your email. I just have to ask you one question: Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?

Hey, I didn't think I would be online now.

Once again, lack of training interfers with doing a job. Oh well, working in elections is not a no-brainer.

Green Baron - <Sadly all fiaths have human elements making them imperfect. Nothing to do there than make do with what you get and help others.> I remember a few years ago that Promise Keepers, a men's ministry, was making a big deal about eliminating racism. The idea is we strive for the ideals.

There will be no snarky post.

Moochie, SJ: I'm sorry you two don't love each other anymore. I don't care why. I don't care whether Lain brainwashed Gunjack or if Gunjack is fed up with SJ's imperialistic and morally repugnant dogma, or if space aliens and evil transdimensional clones have replaced both of you.

Appologies to the admins for intemperate comments made earlier. I'm in a bad mood at the moment, but that doesn't excuse unloading on y'all. I still ask you to re-examine the facts, but I appologize for being rude about it.

Did I say "more pleasent replies"? Excuse me, I meant sharpened ripostes. My bad.

Mara><<No. First SJ gets to have his turn bashing you...>> You are an admin, which means you have the clout to enforce that statement in the teeth of the facts. But danged if I'll allow it to pass without official complaint.

Please compare the following posts.

Friday, May 10, 2002 01:12:05 AM

and compare it to

Friday, May 10, 2002 08:55:49 PM

I contend that my origional post was not a flame, but rather an attempt to ask certian persons to desist from publicly making statements that I find highly offensive, asking instead that these comments be made in private. All of the comments I atributed to the addressed parties are either DIRECT QUOTES or condensations of long comments made here. I am, in return, told that I am "full of shit", and the afor-mentioned offensive comments are repeated. I should also point out that this was a responce to repeated comments of that nature over the last several months.

If my initial post constitutes a flame, I appologize in bewilderment; I was not aware that the term was open to such liberal interpretation.

<<then you can adjourn to a private room for your little mastubatory fight.>> Masterbatory? So... It's permissable to needle someone for months on end, but as soon as they actually defend themselves it's a "masterbatory little fight"? Interesting. Where is this world you come from?
I feel that some members of this room have sullied my good name, and I intend to defend myself. I have attempted to do so in an articulate manner, and have attempted (three times so far, and this will make a fourth) to do so in private. If you'd care to indicate a more mature responce to gross offence, I'd be more than happy to hear it. Until you do, your painting of us with an indentical brush is unfair and untrue.

Incidentally, I'm curious. Is there a distinction between expressing (or implying) dislike for a person and "flaming"? You seem to think not. Are there guidelines for what constitutes a flame?

Jan - Still awaiting a reply to that email.
<<After reading your reply to SJ, I noticed a pattern that you seem to have nowadays...>> Nowadays being in the last two weeks? Because I don't recall ever asking that things be taken to email before that...
<<You take the shots...>> Two points.
First, you expressed incredulity at my "change" in politics. Responding by pointing out the reasons for that change does NOT constitute "taking a shot".
And second, with the possible exception of the word "fucking", EVERYTHING that could be interpreted as offensive in the origional post was a QUOTE made by the members of this room to whom I was refering, or others argueing their side. I cannot even begin to imagine how that could be interpreted as a flame.

<<...and then request any replies back to you be given thru the privacy of email. The old saying, "you can dish it out, but you can't take it" comes to my mind right now...>> Given the above, I fail to understand why. Under the illustrious Mara's new rules, I could respond in kind to your insult (the "flame" I made today certianly never flamed YOU), I suppose, but then the definition of "flame" (as well as the application of discipline by the admins) is so mercural these days that it's probably a good idea to just stop there.
In any case, suffice to say that I can take ANYTHING you can dish, and a side of fries. I refuse to do so here, however, because I do not have much faith in either the patience or the impartiality of the admins.
Incidentally, the reason I hadn't mentioned you is that you actually had the common decency to respect my wishes. SJ did not, and since he continues in public, so shall I. An eye for an eye, and all that. I actually had hoped that if our discourse could not be friendly, it could at least be tensely civil. I continue in that hope, and await a reply to the email I sent you some few days ago.

In closing, allow me to point out that this is a DEFENSE, not a flame. Again, I would much rather take care of this via email. The "Reply" button is not hard to find, gentlemen.

Ah! Another day, another glorious day. It's actually warm in this cold, miserable land. A four day weekend is on the horizon, and well, not much else to speak of.

Spacebabie> He would be the Knight who says Nee! On a very serious note, there are soliders in my Unit who have not seen Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail. Very deprived folks. Then again, some guy named Howie Long was at my Kasserne yesterday and I had no idea who he was..some football player, I think.

Mooncat> LOL!!! While the idea of three way between you, me, and Spacebabie is quite tempting, that wasn't what I was referring to. I hadn't actually thought about that.

In the past few months, you and Patrick were acting like a couple and the thought of you two at the Gathering and what you might do crossed my mind. It is more of a joke than anything. I also left out a part about Patrick having big scratches on his back for the next few months after G02 :)

Next, I won't be able to make G02, so its a moot point, and until I know when G03 will occur, I may not be able to make that.

As for me, you, and Patrick. I mean no offense to Patrick, but I am not attracted to him. Sorry, Pat.

So you don't have to worry about me propositioning you or anything. If I did meet you, the most I would do is hug you, and I doubt you'd mind that.

As for sacrificing Spacebabie and myself, may I point out that SJ is a virgin ;) and Spacebabie and I love cats.

DPH> Sadly all fiaths have human elements making them imperfect. Nothing to do there than make do with what you get and help others.

Patrick> It's aminly a joke based on the way you and Mooncat were acting a few weeks ago, and purely a joke.

Jaden> <<Now why would the officers use their stuff when they can use ours? Seriously I was glad when we finally left. As for your prank- HA! I knew it. I did! Did too. Did too.>>

Well, if i learn you didn't, I'll smoke you for lack of integrity ;) Attention, half right face, front leaning rest position move!! updownupdownwudown halfway up and hold it lean to the left and then the right.... :) Now I ownder who else would get that.

Gside> I forgot about you though you are younger than me.

Warpmind> Spacebabie is I think six or seven months older than me. Sounds about accurate.

Spacebabie> <<but aren�t the virgins that are pure in mind as well as in body the better ritual fodder? I�m sure GB can hook you up with some Nuns in training>> Well, they're pretty rare these days. Finding a nun under fifty is impossible in the US.

<> Yep :) I owe you some next Gathering ;)

Shinigami> <<All I have to say to you all, never mistake lack of opportunity for virtue...
Now, now. Let's not pick on SJ or Gside like that :) As for me, I'm in the ARMY. And its easy to get some in the ARMY and Germany, except I know that even after you take pennicillin, it still burns :)

and it's scary that most of you are porn writers. "To all the virgins... thanks for nothing." >>
LOL!!! That definitely makes me laugh, and lets not forget Rev. Attila died a virgin, though he tried....he really tried :)

Jackal> Its good to hear from you. So you're in Kabul? Well, I always knew you were deranged enough to be and elite soldier :) (of ocurse I know he's not in Kabul in case anyone mocks me for saying he is). You're message is the best one. Don't be intimidated by a bunch of ragheads with sand fleas nesting in their beards.

Wilek> Here's one reason to abstain from sex. Pennicillin doesn't stop the burning sensation completely :)

Kathy> Well, its good to hear from you again. I will see Attack of teh Clones, but at my military theatre where it should only cost 3.50 :)

Virginity as virtuous> Not really. One who is a virgin can get arrogant and self-righteous about it. To me, it is safer. I know quite a few soldiers who pay child support. I like take home pay. AIDS...I have very little sympathy for people who are promiscuous and get AIDS. I won't laugh in their face like somebody who starts screaming in pain as he urinates, because tehy slept around, but I won't go oh poor them. Intimacy can have psychologicla efefcts on people, and I am afraid of intimacy. I have a father and Uncle who were womanizers. My Uncle (who is my godfather) got drunk and picked up soem hookers in the French Quarter when I was christened. My father has taken my motehr by force when he was drunk. I am not by any means a good man for abstaining from sex. It's more based on fear and if marriage enters the horizon, I'd better deal with that fear, or my wife to be will be really pissed on the honeymoon. For now, I shoudl face it and realize I will not be destructive by having sex, since I am not some brutal alchoholic, and I would like to spawn some day.

Bishansky> <<You know, before coming in here, I never met a single person in my entire life who waited till marriage for sex.>> Then why bother getting married in that case? You don't plan to spawn, afterall.

<<Once he's born they don't give a shit anymore. They don't give a shit until you reach military age. See, when I rule, we'll just clone soldiers, and genetically enhance them. They'll be brutal monsters (and yes I came up with this plan years ago)>> It all depends on the conservatives. Some favor abortion to reduce crime and poverty, though they may also favor euthanasia to save social secuirty. I could see you embracing that.

<<But since when am I a goddamn conservative?>> Well, if you were one, that's the type you'd be :) I think that's funny too. I'd probably lsoe my conservative affiliation since I don't feel anymore pride in being an American.

<> I'd noramlly be against that, but since its your kid, I fully support that choice ;)

<<Sees the dirty looks he's getting from almost everyone:: What do you want from me? I'm evil!>> If you say something like that, I just laugh.

Jannie> <<It sometimes takes great inner strength and conviction to remain a virgin. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone who wishes to remain a virgin before marriage.>> Thank you, plus it can be a challenge to see that I can do it, though not like I may have thought it was growing up. My sister is not religious at all, but she is one, because many of her friends ahve had sex and regret it. Quite a few have been damaged by it. Ironically my roomate who claims to be a Christian dosn't understand how sex can be psycholigically damaging. If he goes back to his promiscuos ways in Germnay, I will laugh when he get some disease. He also thinks that if a girl has AIDS he'd get a bad feeling for her. I'd actually laugh if he gets that, since he takes that attitude.

Mara> <<No. First SJ gets to have his turn bashing you, then you can adjourn to a private room for your little mastubatory fight. My self-importance Decrees as such. Oh and tape it, since you both get off on this sort of thing.>>

Well, he shouldn't take SJ seriously. That was his first mistake. Now I have this sick image of SJ, Lain, and Gunjack in some weid sort of sexual debate :)

Yes, I need sleep. I am having weird ideas and need sleep. I go to sleep now.

Christine> I was so pissed off when I found out on Monday that the final episode of Survivor was on Sunday. For some reason, I had missed the announcement of the "new" day. eesh. I went to their website and found out who won - but I wasn't the least bit suprised. In fact, right after this latest group started I told Anna who would end up the winner. It was a very politically correct win. I'm just glad that Sean was FINALLY voted off - he got on my nerves big time and he should have been gone a long time ago. He was extremely lazy and loved to play the race card whenever he was questioned about his motives, lack of assistance, what to eat that day, etc etc - it didn't matter what it was, he blamed everyone else for being prejudice. *rolls eyes*

Greg> <<There is nothing virtuous about being a virgin. >> That is strictly a personal issue and IMO there is something virtuous about being a virgin. It sometimes takes great inner strength and conviction to remain a virgin. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone who wishes to remain a virgin before marriage.
I know of many people who are virgins - it must be the difference in the type of people each of us associate with.
<<But what I consider the funniest part of all this is that most of these people are people you wouldn't want to have sex with anyway >> as I'm sure the virgins do not wish to give up their virginity to someone who considers it to be non-virtuous ;)
<<Greg is conservative>> *points and snickers at Greg* ;)
<<That's all well and good, but I don't want to hear it.>> understood and I respect your wish to not hear it... I don't think that it should be forced down anyone's throat. It's available for anyone who wants to hear it. I'm totally against those who stand in your face and yell how everyone is going to hell if they don't repent, etc.
I don't think that Christians should be silenced - as long as everyone is respectful of each other's opinions. If Christians are to be silenced, then turn about is fair play and the non-Christians POV and beliefs should also be silenced.

SJ><<Admissions of Guilt:>> That phrase alone takes the cake for entertainment value. Once more, from the top:

I
HATE
YOU
ALL

...And the idea that I feel "guilt" over that fact isn't worth dignifying with a rebuttal. I continue this farce out of curiosity and spite, not guilt. But to continue.
<<Greg is conservative?>> Greg, I lack a term for. When in doubt, I apply the label of the majority until such time as the unit supplies a label for itself.
On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't have given away the label so easily; I still consider myself a political conservative, to the extent that the position does not require being blind to logic. Perhaps we can divide conservatism into "good" and "evil" sections?
<> And I think you're a... whatever it is you are. Now that we've dispensed with the pleasentries...
<<I'm not the one making you change your entire philosophy on, oh, EVERYTHING.>> In the interests of actually supporting your alegations (a fundamental step in logic, though being a student of the law, one might understand your fundamental lack in that area), would you care to state these purported changes in philosophy? Personally, I have pndered for some time whether YOU changed from "lovable asshole" to simple "asshole"... But I must admit that differing circumstances may color my vision.
<<I'm just some guy on the internet who likes to argue with people.>> More accurately, you are just some guy on the internet who likes to scream at people; Your style tends rather more toward rhetoric than toward actual debate. But in any case, the political logic espoused in this room by you and yours has not only undercut my positions on some political issues, but the accompanying rhetoric has soured me to the memory of ever holding those positions in the first place.
Perhaps this is what you fail to understand, SJ. I take those debates SERIOUSLY, and attempt to amend my opinions according to the evidence presented. I consider this to be an intellectual ideal, and engage in such discussions whenever I can. If you cannot understand that position, then my disgust and hatred for you is tempered by pity.
<> Again, please describe this "incredibly huge change". And I'd be greatly appreciative if you did so in the privacy of email.
<<Today's Gunjack is a much different Gunjack than the pre-Canuck days.>> Today's Gunjack is also quite different from, say, pre-college Gunjack (to name one of several personally significant events in my life). Pre-college Gunjack lived in a small world, remarkably well-insulated from petty discomforts. That was some six months ago, and quite a lot has changed; some of it even for the better. Considering the fact that you know absolutely nothing about what has happened in my life in half a year's time, I find it rather odd that you are so certian in your prognosis of the source of my ills.

And with that, I hope that we may withdraw to a private forum to finish; lord knows I'd hate to lose my sniper's nest here due to an outburst of administral self-importance. If you'll excuse me, I sold another pint of plasma this morning for Akon cash, and I'm in need of a siesta. More pleasent replies to follow.

(Damn, my computer messed up, cause I did not hit submit before).

Okay, big catch-up post.

Okay, I was planning to wait much longer, but I was with a friend who wanted to go see Attack of the Clones last night.

*** Spoilers ***

Okay, I'll admit upfront that I did not hate this. Doesn't mean I liked it all that much, but I did not hate it. Which put it lightyears ahead of "Phantom Menace". I think it was a little better than "Return of the Jedi" also, but not by much. Here's hoping I never have to see a disgusting Ewok or Gungan again.

The romance scenes were terrible. Pure garbage. The acting was so bland it was like watching Green Baron and Daphne here pretending to be a couple ;)

The acting was terrible, Christopher Lee as Count Dooku (what a name!) was the best actor in there, and I'd hardly call this his best performance. Give me Saruman anyday. And while I'm on it, why was Dooku a Count? And the Count of what? The guy was supposed to be a former Jedi, and I don't see any of the other Jedi with fancy titles like that. Maybe Lucas thought it'd be cute considering the amount of movies Lee has played Count Dracula in.

But back to the acting. The thing is, I've seen most of these people in other movies. They are not bad actors. Never saw the kid playing Anakin anywhere else though, and gods was he terrible. I'm going to cut McGreggor, Portman, McDiarmid, Lee, Jackson etc some slack and say Lucas told them not to act at all so that Anakin would not look so bad in comparrison. And Lucas did not give them much material to work with.

What I did like were the action sequences, the soundtrack, and the last twenty minutes of the movie, the very end on Corruscant had that "old school" Star Wars is back feel.

But Lucas still direct, and he still can't write at all. If he's smart he'll get someone else to write and direct Episode III, preferably who ever wrote and directed "Empire Strikes Back", cause I know it wasn't Lucas, and Episode III is just one of those movies which will need that kind of maturity and darkness to it. But Lucas is not that smart, so I know it won't happen.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 3. I did not completely hate it, which put it light years ahead of "Phantom Menace", that movie on the same scale is well down in the negatives, giving it a 0 would be way too generous.

Well, that's my ramble.

***End Spoilers***

On to replies.

Pretty pathetic, really. <<Christians shouldn't compromise their beliefs.

When I rule, I'll no longer give a crap about things like democracy and equality.

AARON> <<George Lucas still can't write women>> Nope.

Though obviously the lowest common denominator will love it, as those who loved it in here have already proved. <<Real post.... before A-kon?>> Looking forward to it.

VIRGINITY AND VIRTUE> There is nothing virtuous about being a virgin. I lost my virginity when I was sixteen, and you know what? I do wish I lost it sooner. You know, before coming in here, I never met a single person in my entire life who waited till marriage for sex. Do you know who says virginity is a virtue? This was invented by people who can't have sex to make them feel superior to the rest of us. But what I consider the funniest part of all this is that most of these people are people you wouldn't want to have sex with anyway ;)

STEPHEN> <<In truth, I enjoyed both films, even despite all the negatives, midichlorians and all...>> Why am I not surprised? <<I'm so sick of hearing people complain when a movie doesn't live up to their expectations...>> Hmm, I'd quote Greg Weisman, but Aaron already did. Oh what the Hell, I will anyway...

"BULLSHIT, STEPHEN! BULLSHIT!"
-Greg Weisman "Gathering 99"

As has been said before, as paying customers, we have every right to complain if a movie does not meet our expectations, or worse is not even worth the $9.00 we paid to get in.

<<It's SCI-FI! It's meant to be escapism, and fun! You don't go to a flim like this to psychoanalyze it, or pick apart every little nuance or foible of every character or scene.>> And it's this kind of attitude that gets us the crap Lucas has been vomiting on us. And that "it's SCI-FI" excuse does not watch. I can watch "Babylon 5" and not feel like I'm being talked down to, if anything I've learned things from that show. Unlike George Lucas, J. Michael Straczynski respects his audience. And look at "Gargoyles", it's sci-fi and fantasy, and it's a cartoon, and Greg never talked down to us through the series. I've never felt embarrassed while watching it. I do have my standards. And as a paying customer, I have a right to complain. Sorry. <<You go in, buy a soda, popcorn and your ticket, and then you sit back and enjoy it!>> That's what "Lord of the Rings" was also, and you know what? It did not insult my intelligence. It was so great a movie that I went back to see it four more times. It was entertaining, and a popcorn movie, yes. But it had so much more to it. Hell, I honestly believe I could have crapped a better Episode I and Episode II than Lucas did. Hell, Lucas could have given me a basic outline for these two movies and I know I could have made them much better.

AARON & MARA> <<Bullshit Stephen, Bullshit!!" Greg Weisman, Gathering 99. The first three movies have lasted the test of time because of their excellent writing. You know how many archetypes of fantasy Star Wars hits? The original movie is Arthurian legend with sci-fi trappings. The reason Star Wars is the cultural phenomenon it is, is precisely because Lucas tapped into something deep and true and profound. And that's why the original trilogy will always be classics. What Stephen's describing is Independence Day or, worse yet, Mars Attacks. Fluff. Camp. Something not to be taken seriously. Star Wars is more than that. And as such, is held to a higher standard. And will be judged against what has gone before.>> ::claps:: Well said. Well said.

Okay, big catch-up post.

Okay, I was planning to wait much longer, but I was with a friend who wanted to go see Attack of the Clones last night.

*** Spoilers ***

Okay, I'll admit upfront that I did not hate this. Doesn't mean I liked it all that much, but I did not hate it. Which put it lightyears ahead of "Phantom Menace". I think it was a little better than "Return of the Jedi" also, but not by much. Here's hoping I never have to see a disgusting Ewok or Gungan again.

The romance scenes were terrible. Pure garbage. The acting was so bland it was like watching Green Baron and Daphne here pretending to be a couple ;)

The acting was terrible, Christopher Lee as Count Dooku (what a name!) was the best actor in there, and I'd hardly call this his best performance. Give me Saruman anyday. And while I'm on it, why was Dooku a Count? And the Count of what? The guy was supposed to be a former Jedi, and I don't see any of the other Jedi with fancy titles like that. Maybe Lucas thought it'd be cute considering the amount of movies Lee has played Count Dracula in.

But back to the acting. The thing is, I've seen most of these people in other movies. They are not bad actors. Never saw the kid playing Anakin anywhere else though, and gods was he terrible. I'm going to cut McGreggor, Portman, McDiarmid, Lee, Jackson etc some slack and say Lucas told them not to act at all so that Anakin would not look so bad in comparrison. And Lucas did not give them much material to work with.

What I did like were the action sequences, the soundtrack, and the last twenty minutes of the movie, the very end on Corruscant had that "old school" Star Wars is back feel.

But Lucas still direct, and he still can't write at all. If he's smart he'll get someone else to write and direct Episode III, preferably who ever wrote and directed "Empire Strikes Back", cause I know it wasn't Lucas, and Episode III is just one of those movies which will need that kind of maturity and darkness to it. But Lucas is not that smart, so I know it won't happen.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 3. I did not completely hate it, which put it light years ahead of "Phantom Menace", that movie on the same scale is well down in the negatives, giving it a 0 would be way too generous.

Well, that's my ramble.

***End Spoilers***

On to replies.

* ANGEL SPOILERS *

The season finale definitely startled me. Cordelia ascending (like an angel, as Kathy pointed out)? Is she out of the series now? I must admit that I hadn't even heard any hints about her being written out (but maybe they deliberately suppressed that information so as to make it more of a surprise). And Angel being imprisoned in a crate and dumped into the sea. Talk about a cliffhanger ending. It'll be great seeing how they handle this next season.

My complaint about George Lucas and Star Wars. A long, long, time ago (like shortly after Return of the Jedi was released), Lucas made the statement that he was going to wait about twenty years and then do a prequel trilogy.

He's known he was going to do this project for over twenty years. So why do the stories seem like he banged them out over the course of a long weekend right before shooting is supposed to start. (And on a weekend he was holding the pre production beer bash for the crew to boot). I'm in no hurry to see this latest movie. I'll go see Scoobie Doo, before I put money down on Attack of the Clones.

Angel Spoilers

Last week, I thought to myself at the end of the episode, they've turned Cordy into an angel. Angels are demons. That's an interesting take on thelology. Takes the demons are fallen angels concept and turns it on its head. This week that's exactly what happen. Off goes Cordilia in a beam of white light in a long flowey dress. Too funny. Horrible timing, but too funny.

And, they've managed to reclaim me as a viewer. The writing has really picked up in these last few weeks. I hope they can sustain it next season.

Cheers,
kathy

Mara> <<To all the virgins... thanks for nothing.>>
Nothing? Nothing, tra la la? <cackles maniacally> A little nothingness in the right (...or interestingly wrong) places is not merely healthy, but essential--if you don't believe me, just try reading a page from a book that's been dipped in ink. Thought-provokingly placed nothingness is exactly what I offer--place nothing where some thing should be, and watch as everything connected to that thing scrambles to find new and quite unexpected connections. It's better than dominoes.

Yet another day of studying. This stuff is getting old. A review, prepping cheat sheets, no fun at all.

And of course, packing for the drive home on Friday morning.

Warpmind: <<giving up sex is kinda like asking algae to give up flying>>: No comment. <<this CR is now beginning to move into weird areas, right?>>: Beginning? It was weird when I got here a year and change ago. <<should you ever wind up in Norway, and happen to be short on virgins>>: What are the odds she'd be in Norway AND short on virgins?

Spacebabie: << I�m starting to wake up earlier now>>: Why? <<F@%*! I missed the X-files Sereis finally last night>>: You didn't miss anything special. <<aren�t the virgins that are pure in mind as well as in body the better ritual fodder?>>: As if such a thing could exist. <>: Sorry to hear that. <<Was it the mention of a threesome with you Mooncat and the Baron?>>: I don't think that would get anyone excited. <<He would be hard and stiff>>: Dead? <<Except when the little brother is taller than you and works out on a daily basis>>: Even then, actually. <<Your now just discovering this product>>: We don't watch a lot of late night advertisements.

Mecord: <<AT&T broadband is expensive>>: What are you paying? Or DSL service is running us about $50/month.

Todd: <<is convinced that there's no future beyond ten years from now>>: Well that depends on who you're talking about.

DPH: <<Tell me what is "wierd" for the CR>>: Normalcy.

Terrky: <>: If you were an intelligent high schooler (yes, we've had some), it'd be easy to join in. Unfortunately...you aren't.

Shinigami: <<never mistake lack of opportunity for virtue>>: Damn straight! Many of us would rather we lost our virginity many years before we actually did. <<The original movie is Arthurian legend with sci-fi trappings>>: Actually, its the Oddessey. <<You don't go to a movie like Star Wars to expect Shakespearian Theatrical Level writing>>: There's a huge area between shakespeare and the crap Lucas called dialogue in this film.

Gside: <<only shortly before the oral sex>>: I'll take my oral sex before spanking, thank you. <<I'm too lazy to shop and cook>>: Cook? I've lived in an apartment for two years and never cooked anything more complex than microwave pizza. <<Given the nature of infinity, I'd have to say no>>: I knew you'd have the "right" answer to that. <<Especially if ou're talking about the size of the real numbers for topcs, not the size of the integers>>: Which one do you think is more reasonable? <<But if you're good, they are. Right?>>: True enough. <<you can name your first meal breakfast>>: Is that like saying "good morning" from 2 until 5PM? <<You know you want to>>: There are a lot of things I know I want to do. This is not one of them. <<you have something... better?>>: What could be better than boobs?

If I can't abuse power, why would I want it?

I may not agree with our government, and i'm not exactly the poster boy for patriotism, i just hate seeing ppl bullied around and that's what these motherf**kers are doing in addition to trying to obliterate us.

Hold your own ppl, if you gotta die, die with dignity. Do NOTHING that'll make you give in..... but don't go do sumthing stupid like blow up ur local gas station(bad joke).

Make peace with whatever GOD you believe in, hug ur parents, children, siblings....

i wish there was a way i could help, but i'm more of a reader than a writer in these kind of cases. either way, i'm not complaining, but thank you for the progress report.

although, yuo guys do post them weekly don't you? is there not even enough to start posting weekly and catch up to it in time? not my place to ask or suggest, but to just get that much more specific.

Gside- i don't have a problem with off topic discussions. the fact of the matter really is, that i can't really join in the conversations in here, everyone else in here is older than me and in colledge or some stuff like that. if there are no fics to be talked about, than there is nothing for me to talk about really.

Truth to tell, I don't really feel all that comfortable about Hudson's death, largely because I never really like to contemplate the deaths of the regulars. I know that it'll have to happen eventually, but I still find it unsettling. (The one exception may be Halcyon Renard, because we know that he's definitely dying, and was even supposed to die in the third season if Greg Weisman had stayed on. His death definitely couldn't have been postponed much longer).

* X-FILES SPOILERS *

Good episode last night (I'd drifted away from the series for some time, but I made an exception here since it was the finale and Mulder was back). One thing that I'd like to clear up, though: on the Mayan calendar, December 21, 2012 does *not* mean the end of the universe. Rather, it's the time when the existing order is reinforced. It's a common misconception, and I thought that I'd better give the facts here - especially just in case anybody is taking it a little too seriously and is convinced that there's no future beyond ten years from now (although I doubt that anybody here really is going to go that far).

Greetings all...

As far as things go, it's been a bit hectic at work, mostly due to the fact my boss had to go to a store owners week-long seminar in Biloxi... and when she got back, she went right onto her annual vacation. Lucky. Well, hope she's able to rest and recharge before coming back to work. In the meantime, I have to deal with her immediate... she's a trip. Speaks very THICK-Jamacian accented english. Fun to translate.

Been a busy lil' bugger... Got my Paypal account set up, so now I have the means to do on-line shopping, and start taking care of getting paid for my auctions... been auctioning off custom stories on Furbid, and my first two went for a total of $36USD... not bad for a first go. ^_^

Been also getting into using my little mad-money (stuff set aside for fun stuff) to get some new art commissions done so I can get my writer's muse going again. Currently working on the two auction pieces, and a story that recently came up, entitled "Snow Before The Goddess"; a little anthropomorphic tale set in Ancient Japan. I'm also plugging away at "Sin City Walker" and the immediate sequel to it... hopefully should have something done soon.

Speaking of soon, will soon have the first chapters done of the Avalon Mists' version of "Bad Guys"... get ready for some new surprises. ^_^

On to replies:

MOONCAT - (Re:Virgins) - remind me to watch out when you're around... this lil' black duck doesn't plan to be part of any ritual sacrifice. ^_^

HUDSON'S DEATH - I figure the old boy will go out in one of two ways: death in battle, or a peaceful easing into it while sleeping. In my own fics, I nearly had him killed, but instead decided to have him blinded (via Hunter's flash grennade)...

MOVIES - Well, I did see Spiderman (it ROCKED!) and Episode 2 as well. Again, I have to stress that a lot of the people dissapointed with it and Ep. 1 came into it expecting a "Star Wars Redeux"... in short, the higher the expectations, the bigger the letdown. In truth, I enjoyed both films, even despite all the negatives, midichlorians and all...

And just for my 2-bits on this, for everyone expecting for Lucas to redeem himself after what appears to be a "slump" in his writing for these two films... Get over it. You don't go to a movie like Star Wars to expect Shakespearian Theatrical Level writing... It's SCI-FI! It's meant to be escapism, and fun! You don't go to a flim like this to psychoanalyze it, or pick apart every little nuance or foible of every character or scene. You go in, buy a soda, popcorn and your ticket, and then you sit back and enjoy it!

Sorry for the mini-rant... not defending Lucas, but I'm so sick of hearing people complain when a movie doesn't live up to their expectations...

Well, that's all from me for now. Maintain and Check Six!

Saw Spider-Man yesterday, enjoyed it quite a bit. Though we did sit too close at first and both Becca and I started to get a little queasy during those early web-slinging bits. Thought Tobey was perfect and Willem delightfully creepy, especially in the mirror scene. And it's always nice to get a glimpse of Bruce Campbell ::happy little sigh::

Took last night off for the big Survivor finale. Was a trifle disappointed, but I wasn't really rooting for any of the final three anyway. Could've just flipped a coin for that last vote and it'd have made no nevermind to me. The after-show with Rosie was kind of awful; I preferred Bryant Gumbel. Looking forward to Thursday night's Celebrity Deathmatch with the various Survivors, though! ; )

Firestorm>>>Does this mean I get the prize?

Patrick<<<I'm finally starting to look forward to G2002>>> Finally? What did it have to toake for it to be an official finally? Was it the mention of a threesome with you Mooncat and the Baron?

Gside<<<May I help you retrieve it?>>>Ever see Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Remember what Jessica kept down there.<<<He couldn't very well enjoy the all day orgy>>> He would be hard and stiff.

Josh<<<That's okay, you can safely ignore anything said by a little brother.>>> Except when the little brother is taller than you and works out on a daily basis <<<Or any other breakfast.

Mornin', gang.

Christine: You'll love "Reaper Man". Death is gone, presumed... er... missing. The dead refuse to STAY dead, and the wizards have to defend Ankh-Morpork by, well, acting like wizardly Munchkins. }:)

Green Baron: I think "a few months" might be a slightly awkward estimate... But nevermind that. ;)

Hudson dying? Well, I've got his death lined up for whenever I get off my rear end and get to work on continuing my fic series... :p Suffice to say, he dies nobly in battle, and he does NOT go alone... };)

Gside: Oh, choirs are good - as any CRPG supervillain can testify. I just said "no big celebration", is all. ;) And, *d'ohh* of course Wilek doesn't restrict his searches to eBay... :p

Josh: Speak for yourself. For me, at my present status, giving up sex is kinda like asking algae to give up flying... :p

Spacebabie: *Wry grin* You're aware that this CR is now beginning to move into weird areas, right? Don't make me pull the Star trek motto on you. };) Oh, and just 100 nymphs? *Points to that very specific fanfic of my own, involving Brooklyn's visit to Greece...* };)

Mooncat: Y'know, should you ever wind up in Norway, and happen to be short on virgins, you can always let me know, too, even if I'm not getting to G'02... };p

Well, that's about it... Cheerio, gang. I'm working in *eeeeevil* lines into my CRPG... The line "then her parents walked in" is, of course, always hilarious, almost no matter the context. };)

More studying today. I get two pages (front and back) of cheat sheets for structural engineering, and I intend to make the most of them.

WTF!? I woke up today and it was RAINING! Doesn't anyone realize its the middle of May!? It should be 75 degrees and clear as a bell. I don't think God got the memo: Hey God! It's the middle of may! In California! Make with the sunshine!

Maybe he's on vacation. After all, the US Air Force is taking care of raining fire over most of the world. Has been for 50 years.

I saw the funniest thing on TV today. Some new hair-removal product out of Australia; basically wax. The ad features the standard waxing procedure: spreading the gel on the body surface, putting a piece of paper over it, and violently ripping it off. And the name of this "wonder product"? Nads.

We laughed for 5 minutes straight.

<<experiencing computer problems>>: I'm gonna take a long shot here and guess that none of the TGS staff are mac users.

Green Baron: <<That Patrick is a virgin or that he has a chance with Mooncat?>>: The latter. <<obsessing with civil liberties we'd have less crime>>: Um, no. Obsessing with civil liberties is a very important job. <<one bad church isn't reason to condemn them all (unless you're Imzadi>>: Now you're just trying to make cheap shots. Its pathetic, really.

Spacebabie: <<my brother told me I�m not funny>>: That's okay, you can safely ignore anything said by a little brother. I always have. <<Make sure you eat your Wheaties>>: I don't eat wheaties. Or any other breakfast. Makes me ill. <<Who do you think?>>: You, now. <<Why do you find it strangly arousing>>: That was sarcasm, rocket girl. <>: Where it disappears? <<After the all night Orgy with a 100 nymphs.>>: What a way to go!

Mooncat: <<Did you mean "may change" or "my chance">>: The first one.

Fire Storm: <<wicked, wicked Zoot!>>: We'll have to spank her.

DPH: <<Over the years, things are being corrected>>: Shouldn't they have been right the first time?

Patrick: <<someone named "Bobo Fett.">>: Sounds like a circus freak. <>: Ignore him. Something about you and Mooncat hooking up. <<"Mommy, what's a con virgin?" - little girl in the audience at opening ceremonies>>: That was truly one of the funniest moments of G2k1.

Aingeal: <<life is a pain.... i'm sick of dorm life!>>: You should move out to an apartment. They rock. <<somedays... you should hear them talk here>>: LOL! Good call.

Jaden: <<Since I get a four day this week should go by alittle faster>>: I hear ya. <<now which way to my bed>>: Stand in the center of your room and fall in a random direction. Assuming a standard layout, its roughly 15-45% likely that you'll hit the bed. Best odds I can give you if you're drunk.

Gside: <<When dealing with a finite source material, it's very easy to run out of topics>>: Could an infinite set of monkeys given infinite time exhaust an infinite supply of topics? <<without off topic material, forums tend to stagnate>>: And get boring. <<I'm being entertained>>: You would be. <<Sure it wouldn't happen at the same time?>>: Eating flesh and sex are not necessarily the same thing 8-) <<Something consisting generally of a selection of eggs, treyf, and fried potatoes, or cereal and milk>>: I can understand the appeal of such a thing. Now why would anyone want to eat before noon? <<He plans to get in himself, then meet you in the shower room>>: Gay guys dig me. <<You mean I'm not even original in my perversions?>>: Hardly. <<you call yourself an engineer>>: No, I call myself an engineering student. I hope to NEVER call myself an engineer. <<May I help you retrieve it?>>: If she can't find it, she has bigger problems than a lost $20 bill. <<How do I get to this warehouse?>>: Take two nyquils.

Okay, I think I'll hit the hay soon.

When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight.

Well what a week. It just seemed to take so long to get to the weekend. Since I get a four day this week should go by alittle faster.

Imzadi- Who needs a Navi computer when you have a sense of direction like mine...um now which way to my bed.

Green Baron- Now why would the officers use their stuff when they can use ours? Seriously I was glad when we finally left. As for your prank- HA! I knew it. I did! Did too. Did too.

Star Wars is great go see it. Just so you know when it comes to Yoda don't trust his slow cane walking...It's an act!

:: peeks in ::

Long, busy weekend. I got reminded on Saturday morning that everyone is planning to come HERE next weekend for the family get together on Memorial Day... so instead of working all weekend on fanfic like I _wanted_ to do, I was outside (the horror) cleaning up the backyard and trying to see what could be salvaged of the old wooden picnic table set that's almost as old as I am. So after spending all afternoon at it, I'm about halfway through stripping a 20 year buildup of paint from the table. I've already run through 6 sheets of sandpaper, too... so I just hope my poor little Black and Decker sander can hold out.

So the weekend that began obscenely early at 7 AM on Saturday to the tune of the roofing crew pounding away on the neighbor's roof will end in about 15 more minutes with me passing out so I can awake alert and ready to face another Monday on the cubicle farm. :P A few random comments, though, before I go unconscious...

Episode II > Haven't seen it yet, and not in a big hurry to, either. My sister saw it, though, and then came home today and spent 15 minutes giving me a detailed synopsis using all the actor names instead of the character names except for Yoda and Jar Jar Binks and someone named "Bobo Fett." And I thought it was "Attack of the Clones" not "Attack of the Clowns." :P

GB > Maybe it's just the end of the weekend fatigue on my part... but I wish I could understand what you're talking about.

Mooncat > But wait, there's more! Have you seen the latest catalog? If you order today, you get a ginsu knife and a smokeless ash tray! Now how much would you pay? ;)

I'm finally starting to look forward to G2002... even if I have to drive 10 hours to get there. So in closing tonight, and since it seems oddly appropriate... here's a little G2001 moment I will always fondly remember...

"Mommy, what's a con virgin?" - little girl in the audience at opening ceremonies.

Imzadi - <Today, its a different issue. The point remains
that churches are far from perfect. Whether it be racism or tacit support of war, they screw up.> Actually, they are getting better. Over the years, things are being corrected. <Why the rush to get my incarcerated?> You sounded guilty.

My dad wanted to both mow the yard until sundown and go to bed early. Aren't those mutually exclusive?

Metaldemon - <it was a case of "we don't want to help non-christians;" the attitude of which is prevailent
(though not among all).> I'll ask about if that still applies today. I don't think it does.

I just noticed something: say "uncool" really fast and you get uncle.

Oh yea, just for those of you who actually care about me (I'm not sure who that is), Tuesday I'll be gone practically all day (from 7:00am - 8:30pm or later) working for the election commission for the primary elections in my state. Oh yea, that means Monday night I shouldn't be staying up too late so good luck reaching for that period of time.

* BUFFY SPOILERS *

I don't know how many people here saw the latest episode, but I considered it positively chilling. Those folks who were saying that Willow would go over to the darkness this season were right after all; boy, has she ever gone over! And after seeing what she did to Warren (yes, he was a murderer and a general all-around creep, but I don't think that even he deserved to be skinned alive and then disintegrated), I'm not sure that I even want to know what'll happen to Andrew and Jonathon (who are most likely next on her list). I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to look at Willow the same way again. The season finale should be very interesting.

Virgins? Ooo! Now I won't have to hunt them up from scratch for the pagan rituals panel at the Gathering.

*mooncat skips happily as she packs away her 'modern day sacrificial kit' by Ronco, with it's new, state of the art non-metal athame and collapsable mini-cauldron for easy transport*

Goddess, but I love my "Conjure Catalog 2002"

*snuggles catalog, rubbing her cheek against it's high quality glossy photo cover*

***end rp***

Green Baron <<Well, Spacebabie is a virgin and she is a few months older than me. I don't think I'm the second oldest. DPH is older than me and so is Patrick. Now when Patrick meets Moonkitty, that my change ;) >>

Huh? I didn't quite get that. Did you mean "may change" or "my chance" -- and if so do you mean it's your chance to lose your virginity? Because isn't asking for a three-way a bit bold of you, sirrah?

Oddly... Of my two roomies, I would have though you'd be more intersted in a chance with me and Spacebabie, rather than me and Patrick. *eyes GB speculatively* Though in either case, it's a bit cheeky to assume we will be holding orgies of any flavor in our room. *gives GB a stern look*

well, must finish weekend chores.

Well, Happy Birthday to Pope John Paul II. He is 82 too and hopefully he'll have....well a few birthdays left. I will miss him when the time comes.

Imzadi> <> That Patrick is a virgin or that he has a chance with Mooncat?

<<Then how'd you get a refund? >> This is Canada we're talking about.

Fire Storm> I don't care if the people on Flight 93 knew or not. I admire how they handled those ragheads. It is our weenie methods of not defending ourselves and trusting big daddy government to take care of us that we got hijacked. If people stopped the whole not getting involved bullshit or the obsessing with civil liberties we'd have less crime. At least they did something. In the 60s a girl got stabbed to dath in NYC and the neighbors saw it and did nothing.

Metaldemon> Well, mon :) The Church should be researched. Besides, one bad church isn't reason to condemn them all (unless you're Imzadi).

DPH> One would think so. Most anti-gambling laws in states have clear exceptions for bingo games and Catholic school raffles, except Tennessee, but their Supreme Court needs a bunch of nuns with rulers to set them straight :)

KING TERRKY - Unfortunately, things have been really bogged down for us at TGS of late. Most of the staff is so busy with RL or experiencing computer problems or both that we've barely got enough people left to get things done. So things are going extremely slowly at present. We hope to have "Timedancer" out soon, but we can't promise anything; sorry, Season Four is turning into a nightmare for us because of our staff shortage. We can only hope that enough people are able soon to participate freely again for us to get things running again.

Woohoo! First final down, 3 to go! Geotech wasn't too bad, but I can't really guess how I did since a lot of the test is "judgement", that stuff you have to use when you're a professional engineer. Once I guessed something, the rest seemed valid enough, I just have to hope that my guess is reasonable.

Of course, I've no idea how I did on the true/false section. I hate T/F.

Next final is project management on Wednesday. I'll be studying for that and structural engineering (yay cheat sheet!) for the next few days.

Warpmind: <>: Talk to the hand, dude. I was up at 8AM on a saturday for a FINAL. <<Maybe not Leviathan, but it's definitely something not meant for men>>: We need to kill the line of comments before we all vomit. <<Do I even want to know the answer to either?>>: Nope. <<the last thing I'd cheerfully give up for religion is probably my carnivorous nature>>: For me, it'd be sex. I'd give up eating flesh before that. <<Do you deliberately search eBay for the weird and unnatural?>>: If he does, do you have a shopping list for him? <<I'm getting BREAKFAST>>: I've heard of this "breakfast". What is it?

Lain: <<my nice shiney tax refund (which was bigger than his NA HA!.. and really a rather nice deal, seeing as how i didnt actually PAY any taxes>>: Then how'd you get a refund? <<severino antinori? thats just.. bizarre>>: Greg Weisman was commenting about that over at S8 a few months ago. <<according to your quiz.. i am a frenchman.. i suppose now i shall be forced to fart in your general direction>>: Just what I'd expect from a lousy canadian. <<gotta find a vets to see if its male of female.. and see about shots and all that good stuff>>: Maybe the reason you're broke is that you take every animal you find on the street into your house.

Green Baron: <<Now when Patrick meets Moonkitty, that my change>>: I wouldn't bet on it. <>: Just being horny doesn't make you a whore. Otherwise *I'd* be the CR whore. <<Once natural means of birth control have effectiveness rates equal to contraception>>: That would be impossible. "natural" means of birth control won't be changed without millions of years of evolution. Frankly, I don't expect any of the current religions to be around that long. <<I'm 24, not 27>>: Whatever. My point stands. <<why do you amke an issue of it? Is it just to tell me I'm a hypocrite? Are you going to call the authorities?>>: Mostly the former. I don't care about calling the authorities. <<you can take your opinions and stuff them>>: How original...wait isn't that what I just said to you over email? Yes, I think it is.

Spacebabie: <<pull out a 20 dollar bill>>: I know this trick. This is the one where you take the bill, put it in your pocket, and say "see, it disappeared!"

DPH: <<30-40 years ago, churches were far from perfect because of racism>>: Today, its a different issue. The point remains that churches are far from perfect. Whether it be racism or tacit support of war, they screw up. <>: LOL. <<keeps working to get Imzadi to admit to tampering with his computer so he can get Imzadi charged with a crime>>: Why the rush to get my incarcerated? <<You don't have the guts to do it>>: No, I don't. <<how could you prove it was you who messed up my computer?>>: If I wanted you to know, you'd know.

Fire Storm: <<you just give them what they want and no one would have been hurt>>: That's like trusting me to take only half of what's in the safe. <<How and when should Hudson die>>: Depends on which universe you're talking about. Personally, I think he should die in battle. Preferrably with an actual warrior, not a coward with a gun. He's earned it. <<Cybernetics or not>>: I'm sure chicks dig his auto-vibration features.

Okay, out.

ok, hi everyone.

it's been a while sense i posted anything relevent, but i have been lurking.. sorta.

anyway, just a comment er two

i just was wondering about the progress on tgs... i mean, i've been a simi frequent poster here long enough to know that i'll get bombarded with smartass comments from all of you for asking, but any comment on the progress would be hot.

i've always stuck up for the staff of tgs when newbies came in here bitching about the fics being (really) late, so i'm not really complaining as much as i am asking about the prgress, not the post date, but just progress.

cause i mean, come on, theres nothing to talk about in the CR. i stoped posting here when things got so far off tgs it was irritating because there is nothing to talk about.

anyway, if you have some smartass comment, i don't wanna hear it, if someone knows anything of progress, i'd appreciate just a "we are at least working on it" sorta thing.

Sorry about that.

Imzadi> <>: But where would you get them? Besides Wilek.

Warpmind> <<Do you deliberately search eBay for the weird and unnatural?>>: Not just eBay.

Fire Storm> <<How and when should Hudson die?>>: "...In battle with a hundred enemies at [his] feet."
<<Lexington: Cybernetics or not?>>: In what way? Is he a more interesting character with them? Would they make him a better fighter? Would he like them? I'm not sure if they're really needed what with the -Colds already occupying the tech garg niche.

Na zdorov'ya.

I blew a lot of stuff up today. Working with hydrogen, hexanes, acetelene, alcohol... And I hit my father with a sledgehammer while he was lying on a bed of nails. If only I didn't have to help haul everything down last night, back up today, and could have woken up at a decent hour (sometime in the evening).
Found out my grades. First semester under 3. 2.9 for the semester with a cume of 3.595. I was a bit surprised by my OS grade, but then I remembered half my programs didn't compile.
I'm a bit dissappointed I couldn't get Beaker or Dr. Bunsen Honeydew on the Muppet test. Oh, and I finally finished FFVII. About time.
And I'm posting this with Mozilla. Not sure If I like the tabs. Mabye if I could find a shortkey to switch them.

Enough about me. Replies.

Imzadi> <<The kinky sex between Anakin and Amidala?>>: No, between Yoda and Jar Jar.
<<Guess again>>: Pudding?
<<Yeah, but he's a hack anyway>>: True, but he was renouned for his slow writing.
<<Well it still sounds painful to me>>: Wait until he has to actually set something up.

Warpmind> <<No big celebration required>>: And it was so hard to book the All Illuminated Choir.

Spacebabie> <<Your preaching to the choir here>>: No, the choir is still waiting in the back.
<<Already healed>>: Good to hear.
<<With web-color flavor options?>>: But of course. There's even a Jello mold additive option.
<<What part of the state is it nearest?>>: Central Coast. If You know about Sandy Hook, it's about there.
<>: Neither does my mother, and she does fine.
<<Do you call yourself Jerry?>>: No, but it's been remarked that I look like Willie Nelson.
<<Well, thanks for that>>: Sorry, my mind wasn't working very well.

2nd.
More replies later.
