Tigranes Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Watched the Chelsea vs Barcelona match last night with a Chelsea supporting friend last night. I'm not a big footie fan, but surprisingly it seems I know more about refereeing than the ref did. For example, if someone fouls on an attempt on goal within the penalty box... it's a penalty. That's why it's called a penalty box. I was discussing my postgrad with my prof, and he said, "take solace in the fact that men greater than you have failed in their endeavours.... like Arsene Wenger!" He, naturally, remembered I'm an Arsenal fan. I've nearly decided to refuse the offer of admission from NYU and couple of other places because I can't afford it. Instead I'm going to do a Masters here in half the time it should take while working at my current job (media analysis), then make the jump. Screw nationality, I'm going to go to the best school in the world (in my degree) for my PhD and that's that.

Aristes Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hey, bro, we'll be glad to have you. If you're ever in my neck of the woods, I make a mean Bulgogi. Seriously, all fresh ingredients and I've experimented with some different marinades, also. I recently made a honey, balsamic vinegar, and coconut marinade. I took a coconut, drained the milk into the marinader, then finely grated the meat into it as well. I used just enough honey to taste, and then let it sit for 36 hours. My God, I wish I had some now!

LadyCrimson Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) agreed, actually. i've met a few people i've known from online. they are always different "live" than they are on the net. taks Yeah, I've met a few as well, and agree. Or at least, they are always different than what you first envisioned (edit: not always a bad thing, either). I like to think that in general my net personality is pretty much the same as my RL one - but text doesn't reveal things like ... hyperactive leg bouncing, my childish bored-habits like tossing wadded up pieces of paper at my spouse, my combo of very laid back yet fairly reserved demeanor, or the fact 23 hours a day, I'm extremely non-entertaining.

Cantousent Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I would love to get together to grill some dogs and burgers and shoot the breeze. I've met some folks from online. One was a real shocker. One was meta. meta was... well... meta is meta. Fascinating person. He thought I was pretty much a boy scout and I thought he was nuts. I'm fairly convinced that he lurks around here sometimes, but doesn't post. What can I say. Rat bastard. I wish we had parted on better terms, but we did patch things up before he quit the scene. I missed his last call and he hasn't called since. I sure hope he didn't get himself in some sort of crazy assed trouble. As for me, I'm big, I laugh loudly, I joke constantly, and I can hold a huge amount of alcohol. I'm also a big teddy bear and I like to get along with folks. So, if you guys get a big BBQ going, I'm there. ...And my travel radius is huge, so there's a good chance I'd go to it whereever.

theslug Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Summer officially begins today. Pretty amazing, I nearly aced my cost accounting exam but got D on my financial accounting exam today and I'm not even sure how. :'( But w/e, that's in the past. Now I'm just counting the days until work is over and I can finally be set free. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 As for me, I'm big, I laugh loudly, I joke constantly, and I can hold a huge amount of alcohol. I'm also a big teddy bear and I like to get along with folks. I remember the pics you've posted. The one way to get me to talk a lot, fast, in initial social conversations is to ply me with booze. Which isn't easy to do since I generally don't like booze. One on one suits me a lot more than large gatherings, which I usually avoid like the plague. But for the OB forumites I'd try to get over that. “Things are as they are.

Calax Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Two things, went insane due to hearsay by a classmate who said that our class projects were due tonight rather than next week. So I ended up spending most of my time in the library working on the damn thing. Then I got part of my reward for winning the fic contest, Shirt, and signed Storm of Zehir. Interestingly Storm of Zehir is the Euro version rather than US (rated 12+ by PEGI!) when I'm more awake I'll post Peektures. Shirt fits well however. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

LadyCrimson Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i'm much more interested in good beer and good conversations (which seem to get better after many good beers) during social situations. The most important question about any potential game-forum gathering is, of course: Will there be crates? “Things are as they are.

Aristes Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I'd probably go to the shindig. I'll bring the crates and maybe a bottle of scotch, some sodas, and... whatever. The crates, though, I've gotta bring a variety of crates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taks Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 They're much safer to sit on than exploding barrels. indeed. i don't think they stare at you mockingly, either. none of the milk crates, aristes, i think they're still illegal to own in the US. taks comrade taks... just because.
