HR: While reading depressing entries on "My Life Is Twilight" -- which I discovered while reading MLIA -- I stumbled upon this frightening statement:

"For Christmas I got a life sized Edward cut out. It is now facing my bed so that he can watch me sleep. MLIT"

HR: My little brother and sister are arguing about whether something is a wood elf or a night elf. As in WoW stuff. smurf.

BLOOD elf or a night elf. noob.

edit: also, if you played wow, you wouldn't hate on it.

If your little siblings play horde they have more problems than you know.


And if they went for the all-female blood elves? *shudder*

I'm pretty sure they said wood elf. So maybe they were talking about LOTR instead, since we were about to watch it at the time.
But they definitely play WoW. A lot. And iMatt, I think they have characters on both sides. They're weird like that.

+1

Night elf ftw btw.

There are few influences as corrupting as Barrens Chat on Horde side.




VPS: I'm really proud of how our AcDec team picked things up today. I think they've got a ton of potential, and seeing three honors break 6,600 on Acalon 7s at this point in the year as sophomores and freshmen, I'm excited to see them perform even better in years to come. We'll be making something happen.

We came in fourth place out of thirteen at the Highland Invitational today. With one varsity. Yeaaaah.

As someone who had a decked out character raiding top end instances and was in a top 100 progression guild for 18 months, I think I can authoritatively hate on it.

I had some good times, but god was that a timesink.

PS: Dallas Cowboys

LOL: JBroms...

AF: Housing told me I will defiantly be getting a new roommate in the next few days.

UC: They won't tell me who it is or even where in the hell he's from.

HR: There's a fair chance I could be living with a guy that speaks very little English.

I think it actually reads funnier that way

and yes, at ERAU, there is a very good chance you could be living with a guy who speaks little to no english. Just pray it's not an asian, those people never talk to anyone. Which might actually be a good thing, it'd be like not having a roommate, just a resident very tidy ghost that didn't spook anyone.

Really? Most Asian people I know are fairly talkative, or at least average...is something special about ERAU Asians, or is this just an unfounded stereotype?

Poor word choice ><

We don't mean Asian-Americans. We mean student visa Chinese and Japanese students. I've multipal ones of those in my classes. THey seem to be very takative with each other, but not toward the English-speaking population. There is also a fair chance he could be Latin American or Middle Eastern. We have a lot of foreign students. My freshman class of 450 represented 18 different countries.

yeah, these asians don't talk to ANYONE. except other asians. kinda disconcerting. plus all my friends back home were asians and really friendly, and then I meet these asians...threw me for a loop

PS: Today was, by all accounts, a great day.
UC: Well, not all accounts. My poor Eagles.
AF: Hanging out with really close friends inevitably leads to talking about important stuff which inevitably leads to wistfulness.

Well all asians are obvs the same.



Edit: Where the hell is OCM on this.

Off being outgoing and talkative.

what about part-asians?

All you three quarters-asians are all similar.

BFE: seeing a band in the flesh for the first time since you fell in love with them like, ten years ago. (and you never got to see them because (a) they're foreign and ( they disbanded, like, 13 years ago.)

PS: My Art History professor made a whole bunch of Spinal Tap references while discussing early Byzantine icons. This class is going to be awesome.

PS: As long as the Cardinals don't put Matt Leinart in or anything equally stupid (like attempt an 85 yard field goal, play defense with four players, punch the officials, etc.), we should be through. 24-10 at halftime.

May have spoken too soon...

Defense,




Kurt Warner is not pleased.

PS: Downloading textbooks online FO FREE

PS: Taking programming instead of chemistry

AF: Boys are confusing

UC: I didn't get to go dancing this weekend

look who's talking.
Men can send people to the moon, create ridiculously complex computers (if you think there's nothing complex about a computer, try to gain a working knowledge of every single component, down to the smallest detail), and theorize about physics in 11 dimensions, but we can't figure out women worth a damn.

Men are simple. All they think is, "I want a beer and I want see sum'n nak'd."

Usually, the general consensus states that guys are roughly on the same playing field as lichens, slime molds, and toadstools in terms of emotional complexity. Why the reassessment?

JBroms/Chloe: Where are you finding these texts online?

iMatt: My friend Peter just happened to know where to get my programming book online, sorry

And it's just that...

hmm

I guess it's more that I don't understand the whole detachment process after a break up. I'm not very emotional compared to most people, and I think this could be related...because it seems like you guys make it more complicated/drawn out than it needs to be.

I could rant a lot more regarding my situation, but I tried to simplify my thoughts.

Depends on the guy and the situation. My friend Bill, for instance, would be the opposite of that and be rebounding and sexing up the nearest lady about two minutes later, or would not care at all anyway. He doesn't give a smurf about smurfs, to put it plainly. I know a lot of guys like that. I'm not like that, but I'm not like crazy clingy or anything complicated unless the person I broke up with / broke up with me gets weird about it. Don't generalize when it comes to relationships, because everything is a different snowflake. And everybody is a different polar bear.

PS: I like La Quinta hotels. They are cozy and feel like home to me.

UC: That Motel 6 in San Antonio was the sketchiest ever.

AF: Drive today was soooo long.

??: Louisiana... smells bad. I don't know how else to say it. Like. Really. It smelled awful. What? What was that.

PS: Cards win, Cavs win. Good day for America IMO? Also I was in Dallas yesterday and I think I got some Cowboys fandom on my shirt from Christy's place. So I guess that residue is pretty excited for their win, even if I have "literally no strong opinion on that". I hope this does not last long it feels dirty to have any positive feelings for the Cowboys.

and my fellow men may find it odd, but I really don't have much of a problem understanding girls...

I admit to basing my opinion off of my own experiences

But I just don't get why i'ts been like a requirement to make it weird

I will happily change my opinion if my evidence pool changes

For now, I will suffer phone calls that are made unnecessarily awkward

My family will never stay at La Quinta. Not even as a last resort.

The one my parents stayed at one night on their honeymoon, coming back I think, gave away their room. And made them sleep on a sleeper sofa because it was the only thing unoccupied. Hotel knew they were going to be late (they took the train) and they'd paid by credit card. Idiot staff.

guys are pretty simple. they all want the same thing: women.

girls, it may surprise you to learn, are also pretty simple. they also want the same thing: me.

and ocm.

The wisdom of this man could be bottled and sold as an aphrodisiac in several eastern European countries.

PS: "Your Next Kiss" application on fb is hilarious and wonderful

Or, more likely, you've just been lucky as to what types of girls come into your life.

Honestly, though, "understanding" any person is hard work. I am generally perceptive and sensitive about other people, but I sometimes forget things even about my best friends or family. And trying to understand a person's motivations for conduct in the sphere of romantic relationships is damn near impossible. I think all you can do is try your best to be good to those you care about, and if you accidentally do something bad, learn a lesson and do better next time.

Girls are fairly simple to understand. Women are absolutely infuriating.

What a mean thing to say, OCM. How could you be so heartless?

how, indeed, could you be so doctor evil?

I've gotta agree with Will: to "understand" a person is a pretty immense task, regardless of their gender.




in ur not srs threads, deconstructin' ur termz

Well, this is the emotions topic.

AF: I have 15 missed calls in the span of 45 minutes from someone I don't know. Weird.

looks like someone's got an S to the T to the A-L-KER

Horrifying Realization: one of my students was in a really bad car wreck on Friday night.

I really hope he or she is doing alright.

My mom lost one of her students on prom night two or three years ago in a car accident (drinking and drag racing at 4 AM is a bad idea, kids), so I'm sure this is pretty horrifying.



After calling and getting her voicemail, I'm pretty sure it's this girl who lives a floor above me.

Why she called me 15 times, I haven't determined.

do you need me to spell it for you again?
