my friend told me Melbourne babes were pretty untouchable but I didn't buy that. A lot of them had trouble with my damn kiwi accent though

Good man.

Your man is correct. Melbourne girls are the ones you want to generally marry though :'(

I feel a Hulk smash coming along. I think I'm just going to ride my bicycle to some unknown place to let it all out.

on a homeless bum?

Bildi · « **Reply #725 on:** November 27, 2009, 03:13:14 AM »

Does 'bum' have the same alternative meaning outside Australia?

A borito taking out their frustrations on a bum does not sound unusual.

I feel pretty similar at the moment. I even wrote a journal entry the other day for the first time in a couple of months. Fuck.

6:00 PM and I'm still hungover. Was going to go to a hotel party for my girlfriend's friend's birthday, but she's charging everyone ¥3000 to cover costs and booze. Fuck that noise, I live 2 blocks from that hotel and I'll get drunk here for ¥1000, thank you very much. Besides, isn't throwing your own birthday party a little weird? Just sayin'.

Going to get Itarian food for dinner near my house and then finish Uncharted 2 and start something else. Any suggestions as to what I should finish first from this list? I want to get it done in time for FFXIII next month:
-Muramasa
-Tales of Vesperia
-Blue Dragon
-Ninja Blade
-Halo Wars
-Lost Planet
-Super Mario Galaxy (I've already pretty much finished it, but I'm thinking about replaying

)

Honestly leaning towards Blue Dragon, I want a chill RPG after the fucking intense stress-off that is Uncharted 2.

It's complicated. I never posted anything, so you didn't miss anything. No need for an apology.

When are your finals? I've got 2 weeks to my first one, then four days in between each...3 total.

My first one is also in two weeks, but I only have one day in between each exam.

cool. and I think I see how you do it now. I mean, I'm kinda happy I went to class this semester, but on the other hand, I'd probably be in better shape if I just looked at topics on the syllabus, half-assedly read outlines for 3 months, then crammed like crazy for two weeks.

Who says I've been reading outlines for three months?

If I get a job transfer, it will be a pretty good end to the year and the decade.

This year has pretty much sucked. The only exception is that I made good money so I was able to pay off all of my debts (except school loans) and get about $25,000 in savings. Unfortunately, it came at the expense of just about everything else but maybe it was needed.

We shall see!

I also recently went through a break up but decided not to divulge because I don't like being an attention whore when it comes to things like this.

Himu · « **Reply #739 on:** November 27, 2009, 10:41:15 AM »

I haven't told anyone online. Sorry for not tell you?

But yeah, Nadia and I got back together after a few weeks. Wasn't really working out and we decided to end it before it ruined our friendship (which is pretty tight.) Still my closest gal friend, so who cares.

I can't be the only one, who, after being with a couple of women, still hasn't been "in love". I think there's only one woman I can think of that'd fit that description for me personally, but I'm hesitant to call it "love" as opposed to infatuation.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #740 on:** November 27, 2009, 10:42:57 AM »

wow, cold blooded himu

Himu · « **Reply #741 on:** November 27, 2009, 10:44:35 AM »

No, we got back together. When a guy says,"I need some space" it mostly means "let's temporarily stop seeing each other romantically and sexually, but we can always get back together sometime in the future", and we did, and it didn't work out as I had hoped.

I don't chase after women tho. I just chill and move when it makes sense. Like in class or at the library. So yea, honestly I don't talk to many women I don't know. I have no problem talking to female friends, hanging out or whatever but meh, I know I can walk up to a chick and make small talk because I've done it before...but recently I've been on the sidelines. I always figure eh, it's not like this is going to lead anywhere, then I move on

Himu · « **Reply #747 on:** November 27, 2009, 11:29:17 AM »

It's sounds like you're not looking for a girlfriend. Which is good.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #748 on:** November 27, 2009, 11:39:52 AM »

Not interested in a gf right now. Nothing wrong with having female friends imo, it's nice having no pressure or having to worry about dumb shit

My 4500th post.

I'm going to try to slowly wean myself off of the internet. I'm going to read and lurk but not post. Then cut down all of my forums I visit to one. Then cut back on those. It should work a lot better than the abortive "go cold turkey" I still like my political blogs and will continue to read them.

Fresh Prince · « **Reply #751 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:12:33 PM »

I wanted to do something today, but I ended up lying in bed until 2 pm and now I have a stomachache and just want to curl up into a ball in a corner. I made myself a sandwich, took two bites, and threw it in the garbage.

Yeah, that was pretty brutal.

Ok, I'm going to continue reading Europe: A History, play some MW2 or AC2, and then probably go out and get drunk tonight.

Maybe I'll go visit my buddy who's basically stuck at home since he just got his tonsils out. I haven't seen his parents in a while either. Good people.

Himu · « **Reply #757 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:41:21 PM »

I'm going out tonight too. May hit up the batting cages after seeing Precious.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #758 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:43:28 PM »

Batting cages rock. I haven't been to one in way too long. There isn't one close by, that's probably why.

Himu · « **Reply #759 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:44:36 PM »

There's a few at a local baseball training place.

cool breeze · « **Reply #760 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:49:34 PM »

Batting cages are awesome. There is one shitty mini-golf place I used to go to that had an awesome line up. It helped balance out how bad the mini-golf was there.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #761 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:51:31 PM »

There was some place I used to go as a kid that had go-karts and batting cages, but I feel like it's about 30 minutes away and I haven't been there in probably a decade. I'm not even sure if it's still open. In fact, I'm pretty sure the reason I stopped going is because it closed.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #762 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:55:44 PM »

Go-karts, batting cages and laser tag. The holy triumvirate of childhood pleasures.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #763 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:57:32 PM »

I'd probably be depressed at how bad I've gotten. When I played ball in HS, I would use a wood bat in the fastest cage and slap the ball around. Now I'd no doubt use an aluminum bat and hit in the 60 mph cage. $:-\$

There used to a ton of batting cages, arcades and places nearby when I was a kid. Now, not so much. =/

Today's plan: Take some photographs, cook dinner, go see Precious, hit up the batting cages, drink some beer with friends, play Street Fighter.

Not going to one store. Take that, corporate America!

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #765 on:** November 27, 2009, 02:58:58 PM »

I don't think laser tag even exists anymore. At least not around these parts.

Video games have destroyed everything.

cool breeze · « **Reply #767 on:** November 27, 2009, 03:00:41 PM »

laser tag

I remember how big that was. There was one place called Qzar or something and people would talk about how you could unlock power ups like a lazer rocket launcher and shit like that, as if that meant anything.

Then there is paintball, which is like...there is a 10 year old wearing sniper camo barking orders at you, and you listen because he has paint grenades. paint grenades.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #768 on:** November 27, 2009, 03:01:20 PM »

When I was a kid, near my house, there was a place that had a giant arcade, laser tag, billiards and an roller skating rink all together. It was AWESOME. And they had those novelty rides, like that gyro thing people would get inside and suffer in. Big screen arcade units. 3D arcade units. Classic 2D beat 'em ups. It was on the second floor of the Rio, which is like warehouse size.

If you got bored of that, you could roller skate, play laser tag or shoot pool.

And you could get tickets, and trade them in for amazing prizes.

It was bliss. I spent many a weekend there.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #769 on:** November 27, 2009, 03:01:27 PM »

I swear to God, every fucking kid in 4th grade had his birthday party there. And then it closed down a few years later.

Himu · « **Reply #770 on:** November 27, 2009, 03:01:35 PM »

Paintball and laser tag got pretty big when I was in my early teens. We went to play laser tag every friday.

which sucked, because you would still have to pay for a lot even as a guest.

I remember having my birthday at a local arcade that would make all the machines free to play. Me and three friends finished every game there, including the X-men arcade game. Nightcrawler

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #775 on:** November 27, 2009, 03:09:21 PM »

I used to play the X-Men arcade game all the time. The best was the unit that spanned two screens instead of one. I always picked Colossus, because Colossus is the best X-Men not only in comics, but in everything.

Was signalling right, turning right. Other cyclist racing down on the right hand side was trying to overtake me anyway clipped his back tyre both fell down. He got the worst of it.

Any way my injuries are healing so looks likt tennis will still be on though will need to take it easy.
