Hey everyone. Just popping to say hi and that I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth yet.
Not much has really happened since last time. I've been mainly working. I did, however, switch to a different store. This one is like 5 mins from my house, so I can get home quicker after a long day. Speaking of which, I've got 37 hours this week, and I'm sure I'll be exhausted by the end of Sat. 8 hours, the paycheck should be pretty sweet.
I beat Contact yesterday. It was pretty good. I'm probably going to keep playing to do some sidequests and max out my stats.
I plan on picking up another game when I get a chance to get out for one. I should be playing Tales of Symphonia, and hopefully, I'll get back to it.
Hey, everyone. A lot of catching up to do . . .
My day was sort of rough today. I spent the morning and most of the afternoon in a terrible, irritable mood, and I think it showed while I was working. But the evening ended up being pretty nice. I did a session of my campaign, Blackthorn, which seemed pretty successful.
@Little Dragon: First of all, I want to point out that I really like your avatar.
Secondly, I wish to clarify that I wasn't at all bothered by your original comment that the conflict ensued over. Your observations were clear and fair. We did have that time when the 'House seemed a bit spammy or erratic, and we all had a talk about it and it improved. You were there before that time and during, and were simply noting how things seemed to have calmed somewhat and more detailed discussions were coming about - in other words, gone back to the way it had been before. I didn't find that offensive in the least.
@Dreams: There is that theory that dying in a dream can cause you to die. But that only seems likely if the shock caused by such an experience were enough to send your body into a dangerous state, such as cardianc arrest. Simply dreaming that you've died may not have anywhere near that same effect on people, depending on the dream, and even if it did there isn't necessarily any chance of that tension really hurting you.
Dreams are tied pretty closely to physical state, though. I often feel that nightmares come more easily when I'm physically uncomfortable while I'm sleeping, especially if I feel hot. Usually drinking some water, cooling my room down, and taking off some of the covers helps prevent any further problems.
Another thing that helps with nightmares is to go back over the dream after waking and attempt to "reclaim" it, such as by reimagining the end of the dream of just asking myself what I think the dream means to me.
I've been having a lot of anxiety dreams lately. Classics such as dreams in which I'm back in high school and either keep missing class, or find that I can't graduate for some reason. Dreams in which I'm back at my old job and it's crazier than every (my last dream entailed their having a new rule against people making any kind of sound while they worked). Or dreams of family members or other loved ones getting angry at me or fighting with me.
Dreams are a means of processing unconscious or pervasive feelings, and so sometimes they really can be a "message." They are effectively a message from subconsciousness to (sometimes) conscious images and sensations, and whatever is manifested can have a coherent meaning, even a potentialy predictive meaning. That does not mean that a dream really has such a property, since much of what will manifest will be feelings about or relative to ourselves rather than other things, such as our fears, desires, etc.
@Kevin: Sorry I haven't been on lately. I will talk to you soon, bubby!

All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.

Hello, random.
Its okay mamelon i understand yep talk to you soon. Ive been busy as well with work.
@shaharazad: Yeah thats what i like about the 2nd place black deck its just so original and so cool. There is also a fish deck that made 14th place too and it looks pretty similar to my list that i posted last night in the house. It probably looks alot like yours as well with shadowmage infiltrators, dark confidants, serra avengers, and more a very cool deck. By the way there were 880 players at GP columbus.
Well goodnight everyone im going to get some sleep in like a half an hour. Ill post tommorrow after i get back from work though see you all then! *hugs and blows kisses to everyone* Have a good night everyone.
Oh cool, you want to be a teacher? I love teaching kids! Even though they get annoying, still their childlike innocence is envious. I do love it. *Attaching pics*
Yes I'll tell you guys stories about the little critters! I love them!!!
What's to like about my name? It's long and saintly.
Anyway, it was my first day of 'school.' There were Japanese kids, Australian kids... all kinds of nationalities that I felt I was in the kiddie UN. We sang songs, played around and ate together. We sang Japanese nursery rhymes and stuff. Really cool.
The pic of the kids is attached below. Going to eat lunch now. Later.
Had to comment on this. Yes, I'm working towards being an elementary school teacher.
Most of my nightmares involve crap I saw/experienced in Iraq, but they don't usually have me dying in them, just seeing ...bad things and remembering every detail of those mortars and grenades. Since I didn't die over there, I think that's why I don't die in them.
However, I can't swim, and I have a recurring bad dream in which (for some reason) I'm running from the north part of my town (from what, I don't know) straight into the Mississippi River at the southern edge of town. I sprint straight into the water without even a minor attempt to swim, just falling into the depths of the murky waters. When I experience this dream, my body physically feels the falling feeling, the sort of spinning vertigo you get when you fall out of a plane. As my body feels this, I experience drowning, and die. I tend to wake up looking at a spinning ceiling, short of breath and unhappy.
Yeah, I know how that is. I once had this bad dream where I was in some sort of barn, with some creature trying to kill me. It attacked me, jumped in the air, came down on my shoulders and literally twisted my head clean off. I woke up with a neck ache. THAT was freaky.
Hi coffeehouse. Im back. Just had a date with my fiance.^_^
Dont believe in such nonsense Nai:). Trust me, its just a dream, and maybe because you recently watched some action movie, horror or somethin. Many people have weird and scary dreams, just pray to God after a horrible nightmare and everythin will be fine. Maybe your also not gettin enough sleep. Dont think too much about it. Ive been stabbed, shredded, shot and many stuff that led me to death in my dreams and Im still kicking and playing Magic until now.
Here in the philippines, here are some beliefs.
1. IF you dream of a dog/s chasing you. A person or many people are thinkin bad things or planning bad things about you.
2. If you get a snake out of your bag. Rise and Shine, your gonna get some money.
3. A sign of death(maybe you or not you). If you dream of trying a dress or wearing a dress.
4.If you dream all of your teeth fell out or destroyed. Your havin some really bad luck.
5. Dreamin of a cute baby is bad..really bad. Bad Luck Period
6. If you dream your falling from somewhere high, you might have some things that will let you really down(like getting fired at work, disabled or somethin)
7. If you dream of drowning, then there is a big pain in your life that you are having major troubles solving it out.
SO far, thats what I remember, but still dont think about it, these are just beliefs, can be true or not. Just pray and everythin will be fine.
So Im gonna sleep now and you just gave me a fright of sleep.. Geez.^_^
Ok see ya all later! ZzZzZzZzZzZz
*Currently listenin to: Fall out boy - Dance Dance*
It's interesting to see how different some cultures think about the things in your dreams. I can't help but remember that one Dane Cook joke...
"You were being chased by a crab? Hold on... Oh, dude. You're gay. The crab walks sideways, and it's like indecisiveness. Was there lightning in the background? Oh, that accentuates the gay. Did he have loafers on?"
@Nai - dream theory is about as reliable as tealeaves or tarot, both of which I used to scam lots of money out of people doing, since you do pychology you know what dreams really are - a way of the mind processing information and storing it in a coherent manner
the only one that is true is that if you dream of me you are really weird
Well we have just spent the morning walking along the Tees, really enjoyable, my resolution of walking is fun, going to lose the weight through photography
I'm now able to come online for more fun things now that my assignment is over, so expect to see me here more often
Psychology, yeah. That's all I can really say. I didn't get to dream theory in psych yet.
Teehee, last night I dreamt you and I were sitting together on the porch swing drinking Country Time lemonade!!
@Nai- I wouldn't worry about it. More than anything, the dream is just a manifestation of an unrecognized anxiety or fear, and nothing to be concerned about. I mean, Freddy Krueger has been dead since Freddy Vs. Jason, so I don't think that you are likely to die just because you did in your dreams.
Wait- Josh just told me he's not dead. I guess we all have reason to fear!
True, anxiety. Why did I think you were someone else when I read that post? I thought you were, like, Myta when you made the post, then now I see it's you.
Magic has been a little crazy lately. Both in standard and in legacy.
In standard, there are two very strong combo decks, but they are completly different, and so it's harder for random decks to fight both. The metagame used to be wide open, with like a ridiculous number of viable decks, but it's starting to tighten thanks to the presence of those combo decks.
In legacy, the sky is falling due to hulk flash.
I've had a handfull of dreams where I died. In one, the moon was blood red, and there was this ominous feel in the air. The moon ended up coliding with the earth, at an imposible speed, and pretty much everyone died. But I remember floating in a black void afterwards, and hearing a womans voice.
In the other dream, I was driving in this cartoony looking blue car on a treacherous mountain road. It was raining and was nighttime. The further I went, the faster I seemed to go, and the road became more and more like a rolercoaster. Just crazy, exagerated turns and eventually the car flew off the side and came crashing down the mountain. I landed and knew that I had died, and I remember thinking how peculiar it was that I was still in my body even though I had died.
So, I'm going to go make a real cappuccino! I'll see you all later.
Whee cartoons. It's always fun seeing cartoon characters get smashed. Not so much if you are the one getting smashed.
The last dream I had vividly included Durkon the Dwarf from OotS leading a whole room full of people in a massive holy 'If You're Happy and You Know It' dance to exorcise evil spirits from the room. So yeah..
I've registered and bought my own website: www.mtgacademyhub.com, which will be the hub for Academy and all my other goodies--Wakewalking is dying
I'm gonna try to recover all the files from it, but I need to get my sets back up and running.
Awesome dream. Really. I'd love to have been part of that dance. And it's awesome you just bought your own website, I"d love to have one of my own. I haven't anything to put there, but...
I've had a dream where I died before. I was falling off of what looked to be the Chrysler building in NY, fell for about two minutes before hitting the ground, and promptly turned into a "dead monster" sprite from Doom. Er... Yeah. I didn't even play Doom except for once at a friend's house.
That was quite some years ago though. I haven't had any dreams to speak of lately.
I remember playing doom years ago. It was too easy. I remember a kid playing the left-hand keys with his right hand and vice versa. That's why I drive with my hands crossed once in a while.
By the way, Mr. Stuff, can you do a few anime recommendations for me for me to get for my trip to New Orleans?
I'm looking for things along the lines of Hellsing, Noir, Full Metal Panic (working on getting an dual audio of Fumoffu, I won't have time to read the subs), Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop... What do you think? Any good ones that are not mainstream I'd be able to snag in four days?
Anything black. I HATE PC black. On the other hand, green is teh awesome.
Wow, I've never seen a campaign in the Inn move as quickly as Mandala is. It's a great source of pride and I'm loving every minute of it, but I'm finding it hard to keep up =)
You have my congrats, Ether. By the way, I want you and Photon to join Project Laputa, since you'd be awesome at it.
Happy belated birthday to Yukora, from both Arguas and myself.... and of course, congratulations to Cecelia on the 2500th post!
My plan at this point is to wait until Thursday morning (or Wednesday night, either one) and post up the new thread, so that we're up and running while I'm gone, since I'm graduating on Friday, then I'm going to be in New York City until May 30th, and once I come home, I will need to hook up my computer and hopefully I can figure out how everything works...
So basically in conclusion, I'm going to be insanely busy til Wednesday, and then I'm shipping my computer home Thursday morning, so I'll be checking in here until then, but after that, I won't be back til May 30 or 31st or maybe even June 1st, depending. Now I need to make sure everything is packed up for storage to be picked up tmw morning.
Enjoy your night folks.. Sorry I'm not commenting on much, got a lot to take care of.
Happy belated Birthday to Yukora from me too, since I didn't get to the thread for him. And congrats on your graduation, Omna!

Hello, random.
You have a point, Mamelon, and it's a good one at that. The problem was less that I was dying in the dream and that the dream ends AFTER I die, so that I experience all the pain and unfun of death. Unfortunately, my body also supplies all the pain and suffering, which is even less fun.
I think I play too many video games. If I die in my dream, I have to 'revert to saved' some hours/days/weeks before, in-dream time.
Just finished my exam. It's a ***** having it at 9:00am, but it went okay. The examiner was a star, but I did falter on occasion. Let's hope I did enough for a B.
Off to recuperate.
'Fox.
Congrats on having a good job done, 'Fox. I disliked French myself. I had a fun time with it, but it just... Wasn't really fun.
So I'm heading down to New Orleans on Thursday, driving all the way down. I'll be missing again, and wont' be responding to much. I'll have time to post, but not to post much.
Whew Im gettin all dizzy downloading this naruto stuff..Well anyway.
Im so bored at the home right now. Im all alone as usual. Ive done my chores, played ps2, stand by and watch my flashget download progress, and read posts here in mtgs. My fiance works 6 days a week and she's too busy right now. We only have Sunday for our date. My fiance is one year older than me and she recently got this job. I miss her and the times at school when we meet and talk and cuddle everyday back when she was also a student like me. But now, its different. She now works, and in june Ill be at my last year in college. Well be both busy.
But Still, I know our love will prevail.
Anyway she promised she'll wait for me and if I graduate, hopefully after 2 or 3 years well get married. What a lovely goal.
Oh crap my Internet connection is sooo slow right now.
And see my attached picture. Its my Fiance and me at her Graduation night.^_^
*Currently listenin to: Michael Learns to Rock - 25 minutes*
Ugh, I hate falling dreams. Especially as I associate them with physical pain as well - my bed at home used to be under some hollowed-out eaves, and when I sat up to try and stop myself falling, I inevitably cracked my head into the ceiling above me.
Although last night's dream was more bizarre than unpleasant. For some reason me and someone else (who I'd never met before) had to leave school (7 years out of date there) to buy new glasses. To get there, we had to walk along a rollercoaster with lots of drum kits, playing on them to move along, whilst on the phone with my grandad.
THIS is what happens when you go back to sleep for half an hour just before you have to get up.
Entertaining weekend this time round. Friday night I went out for a quick drink with some people from work, which degenerated into a lot of drinks, and me getting home at 2am. I then had to get up at half 8 to get to my brother's cup final. Although they won 4-0 and the adrenaline carried me through the game itself, my lack of foresight in forgetting to take aspirin with me led to a horrific headache, only resolved on the train home after buying some at the station and clutching my poor throbbing head all the way back to London. In the evening friends came round, and we had tapas (chorizo baked in heather honey - superb) and party games (guess the musical intro, Pictionary, and the name game).
Then on Sunday I did nothing whatsoever :D.
I really think if I'd been going to the GP, it would have been with a deck totally tuned to beat Hulk Flash. There was so much hype, it was always going to be a huge proportion of the field. Just a shame it couldn't take it right at the death. I like it when the underdog wins.
Yeah ill probably play some other deck that could beat hulk flash like fish and mono black aggro both of those decks are pretty capable of beating flash and still have a solid game against the rest of the field and apparently the mono black deck i posted got 3rd place in the final standings and actually beat a hulk flash in the top 8 but another hulk flash still managed to win the whole thing. I tend to respect those players alot more that bring back old school decks and actually top 8 at any major event with them compared to someone that plays with hyped up decks like how solidarity, thresh, iggy, and goblins were dominating but now its hulk flash mostly since i believe it was about half of the field at GP columbus.
@shadowfox: goodluck with your tests! Im sure you will do fine.
@hunter: Good evening to you hunter and i wish you and your fiance well.
Well i just wanted to say good morning to everyone ill be getting ready for work in like 40 minutes from now. I wish everyone to have a great day or a goodnight. See you all soon! *Hugs and blows kisses to everyone*
Love,
Cecilia

@Nai: I'd join Laputa if I knew beyond a doubt that I'd have time to post regularly in it. There have been a couple of WPs and campaigns I've wanted to play in, but didn't because I knew I wouldn't be able to contribute as regularly as I would want. I don't like the possibility of slowing things up =)
@Buzz: YAY CONTACT. It isn't the longest game in the world, but I enjoy it a lot because it has that kind of Mother/Earthbound flair to it. What did you think of the plot twist at the end? I personally loved it and hated it. Loved it because I've always wondered how a company would handle something like that, and hated it because it made me feel very sad and kind of guilty, heh.
Seph, and Florida...your fonts make my eyes bleed.
I'm having my usual rough Monday, but hope to be back on later tonight.
Good morning to you starr as well. Aww well i hope everything works out the best for you and have you heard from the ultrasound people yet? I pray that they will call you soon. *hugs* I wish you a good day today and a good rest of the week.
Well i will be back in about 5 or 6 hours from now see you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses* Im going to eat breakfast then head to work.

Ugh, many missed pages, I will try and sort them out later. If anyone said anything important here this weekend they feel I should have heard, please tell me.
I am feeling alot better. I am still pretty weak and dizzy, but better and no longer feel the need to expell my inards orally.
I just got hooked into and watched the whole first season of Ugly Betty. This show is freaking awesome. All the characters are so well played and memorable. It had me crying constantly, or laughing where appropriate.
This show is very brave. It has the youngest Gay character in American TV history (he is 12) and on of the leads (played by Rebecca Romijin) is trangendered. They do such an honest and educating job of protraying her as well, and while I have always kinda liked Rebecca....now I am actually a fan.
All I know about sports at this juncture is that rugby players tend to be very attractive, for a multitude of reasons I won't get into in a public forum =)
I used to be really into sports when I was younger. I played baseball for most of my elementary school years and a little into junior high. But then I discovered video games and fiction writing, and it was all over.
@Tanthalas: That minotaur is DOWN I really like the system of weaknesses and such in d20 Modern and I've always wanted to use it, but no opportunities have arisen until now.
While I was browsing Gatherer, I noticed that every card from Odyssey&up is now Standard-legal?
Well it's fixed now. I'm sure it was just an error with tagging when they removed the "May 20th ..." categories.
So I went to FNM (did OK) with my binder for the first time. Previously my collection binder had every rare I owned, just so I culd easily browse it all. I realized that not only was 75% of it junk, but it was junk that I didn't even want to put in my casual decks. So I weeded it all out, and the result was a group of FNMers who were very impressed with my old school collection.
Then I was inspired to do the same with my uncommons and discovered I have quite a few that fetch a surprisingly high price, like Wasteland, Gemstone Mine and Goblin Lackey. And then I found out that there's even a few commons worth a couple bucks, like Lightning Bolt, Duress, etc. I'm a happy boy.

Don't worry about the football talk, LD, it's fine =)
You're creating a Megaten Lexicon? Whoa, that should take you a lifetime with all the spin-offs and side stories and such. As for the next underdog, it should be here within the next few days. I'm playing the game again to familiarize myself with it, since it's been a while, and I want to do this article right.
Not to mention that I'm preparing myself for someone to call this game a pokémon rip-off so I can go off on them ^__^;;
Hehe, well even though I'd like to cover a Devil Children or DQM game in the near future, this next installment is another game entirely. A PsX game that was pretty much ignored, but still has a really strong cult following...and a really subpar sequel ~_~;;
Seriously, Atlus is remaking Hoshigami of all things. Remake some other obscure RPGs that deserve it more!

Yeah, it definitely had some familiar Earthbound moments. IE. The giant mall in Harbara. Department Store in Fourside, anyone? Even some of the enemies were kinda like a throwback. Appliances attacking, nerds, etc.
I admit I died a few times throughout the game. A few to that stupid Golem in the beginning.
As for the twist, you may have to PM me with it as to not spoil anything for anyone else. I just want to make sure we're on the same page here. It's been a few days.
I'm definitely going to keep playing for a while and get some of the extras. And probably beat the game again, just to see the ending. Also, I've heard about this Wifi Island thingy.
Well, I'm gonna go relax a bit until work at 3, so I'll see everyone later.
Oh lord, for such a short game with such a simple premise, some of the bosses in Contact were HARD.
I can't remember where it was, but the boss with the changing floor panels really got me. I got so frustrated with it that I just about smashed the DS...and then I took a moment to actually think about things and felt like an idiot O_o;;
The giant mall was my favorite part because of all those arcade machine minigames. That was amazing.

Yeah, that one gave me some trouble too. Even after I figured out how to do it, it still gave me some trouble. Running through those arcade games was a high point to the game.
Heck, I've died from not watching my HP around enemies before and after I beat the game, I went to Ft. Eagle and ran up to one of the SuperWorms, not knowing, and the thing OHKO'd me. I had like 275 or HP and thing did over 400.

Oh my. I never know where to start on these things. Do you have to have dual audio? I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean by not having "time to read the subs". I make it a point to watch all mine subbed, so I really wouldn't be able to tell you which shows have good dubs and which don't.
Well, anyway, here are some shorter ones you might enjoy. I've listed first the name, audio availability, and (if applicable) the best fansub group, and links where possible.

Those are just a few... You can check the AotW on the front page for more. If you don't mind watching shows that are just coming out, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, and I do mean HIGHLY suggest checking out Seirei no Moribito over at Ani-Kraze. It's only got six episodes out so far, but it's darn good.
Awesome dream. Really. I'd love to have been part of that dance. And it's awesome you just bought your own website, I"d love to have one of my own. I haven't anything to put there, but...
Heh.. it was funny seeing a short stick figure dwarf lead a huge room of people in this massive rousing song of "If You're Happy and You Know It", but being a big OotS fan, I was still happy it was Durkon.
I just got hooked into and watched the whole first season of Ugly Betty. This show is freaking awesome. All the characters are so well played and memorable. It had me crying constantly, or laughing where appropriate.
This show is very brave. It has the youngest Gay character in American TV history (he is 12) and on of the leads (played by Rebecca Romijin) is trangendered. They do such an honest and educating job of protraying her as well, and while I have always kinda liked Rebecca....now I am actually a fan.
....>.> Okay. I'll watch it. For you, Sakura-baby.
So I went to FNM (did OK) with my binder for the first time. Previously my collection binder had every rare I owned, just so I culd easily browse it all. I realized that not only was 75% of it junk, but it was junk that I didn't even want to put in my casual decks. So I weeded it all out, and the result was a group of FNMers who were very impressed with my old school collection.
Then I was inspired to do the same with my uncommons and discovered I have quite a few that fetch a surprisingly high price, like Wasteland, Gemstone Mine and Goblin Lackey. And then I found out that there's even a few commons worth a couple bucks, like Lightning Bolt, Duress, etc. I'm a happy boy.
Never underestimate the power of old cards, Kraj. For you may discover that you have a classic waiting in the wings--for example, I traded an ICE AGE Lhurgoyf (worth: $1) for a PLANAR CHAOS Akroma, Angel of Fury (worth at the time: $5+)
Worst of all, a friend of mine traded a TIME SPIRAL Leviathan ($1) for a PLANAR CHAOS Damnation ($20)
Worst of all, a friend of mine traded a TIME SPIRAL Leviathan ($1) for a PLANAR CHAOS Damnation ($20)
... Someone needs to be slapped. And not in the gay *****-slap way, just plain idiot-slapped. I couldn't even trade for a Damnation with a Glittering Wish and Summoner's Pact (I was not about to throw my second Glittering Wish into the package).
In a similar but not nearly as extreme vein, when I busted out the binder I ended up trading an Abundance for a Tombstalker (which I need for my new UB control deck that will probably suck anyway). When I got home I looked up the value of Abundance: 85 cents. I feel bad. I'll see this guy at every FNM I go to, so I'm gonna make sure I square it up with him. (But if someone was stupid enough to trade me a Damnation for a Leviathan - even an original from The Dark - I wouldn't feel the least bad.)
About the trade: We told the guy he was getting ripped.. but he was the kinda guy who'd look at his foil Groundbreaker and say "Ooh, Green Lightning! Keshh! Keyow!" So.. yeah.
Worst part is, I had a TS Leviathan AND a DARK Leviathan and he still traded with the other guy.
About your situation, Kraj? I suggest keeping them if you're ever gonna play Casual. Classic cards like that are hot stuff in Casual play. Otherwise sell em.. to me?
....>.> Okay. I'll watch it. For you, Sakura-baby.
Wow, thanks sweety. Means alot for you to try it out for me. There are alot of shows which manage to maintain me with a decent level of good writing and awesomeness, but this one of the few to draw me in so emotionally to every character. The season finale had me crying so bad.
Good work Kraj on unloading your chaff. I should try that sometime.
Also GL Alacar!
Shadowfox: Epochrasite, because time counters are not being abused to ther full potential right now. The rest seem pretty linear or just downright too expensive for their effects.
Not much has really happened since last time. I've been mainly working. I did, however, switch to a different store. This one is like 5 mins from my house, so I can get home quicker after a long day. Speaking of which, I've got 37 hours this week, and I'm sure I'll be exhausted by the end of Sat. 8 hours, the paycheck should be pretty sweet.
I beat Contact yesterday. It was pretty good. I'm probably going to keep playing to do some sidequests and max out my stats.
I plan on picking up another game when I get a chance to get out for one. I should be playing Tales of Symphonia, and hopefully, I'll get back to it.
Bye!
My day was sort of rough today. I spent the morning and most of the afternoon in a terrible, irritable mood, and I think it showed while I was working. But the evening ended up being pretty nice. I did a session of my campaign, Blackthorn, which seemed pretty successful.
@Little Dragon: First of all, I want to point out that I really like your avatar.
Secondly, I wish to clarify that I wasn't at all bothered by your original comment that the conflict ensued over. Your observations were clear and fair. We did have that time when the 'House seemed a bit spammy or erratic, and we all had a talk about it and it improved. You were there before that time and during, and were simply noting how things seemed to have calmed somewhat and more detailed discussions were coming about - in other words, gone back to the way it had been before. I didn't find that offensive in the least.
@Dreams: There is that theory that dying in a dream can cause you to die. But that only seems likely if the shock caused by such an experience were enough to send your body into a dangerous state, such as cardianc arrest. Simply dreaming that you've died may not have anywhere near that same effect on people, depending on the dream, and even if it did there isn't necessarily any chance of that tension really hurting you.
Dreams are tied pretty closely to physical state, though. I often feel that nightmares come more easily when I'm physically uncomfortable while I'm sleeping, especially if I feel hot. Usually drinking some water, cooling my room down, and taking off some of the covers helps prevent any further problems.
Another thing that helps with nightmares is to go back over the dream after waking and attempt to "reclaim" it, such as by reimagining the end of the dream of just asking myself what I think the dream means to me.
I've been having a lot of anxiety dreams lately. Classics such as dreams in which I'm back in high school and either keep missing class, or find that I can't graduate for some reason. Dreams in which I'm back at my old job and it's crazier than every (my last dream entailed their having a new rule against people making any kind of sound while they worked). Or dreams of family members or other loved ones getting angry at me or fighting with me.
Dreams are a means of processing unconscious or pervasive feelings, and so sometimes they really can be a "message." They are effectively a message from subconsciousness to (sometimes) conscious images and sensations, and whatever is manifested can have a coherent meaning, even a potentialy predictive meaning. That does not mean that a dream really has such a property, since much of what will manifest will be feelings about or relative to ourselves rather than other things, such as our fears, desires, etc.
@Kevin: Sorry I haven't been on lately. I will talk to you soon, bubby!
Hello, random.
All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel.

Had to comment on this. Yes, I'm working towards being an elementary school teacher.
Yeah, I know how that is. I once had this bad dream where I was in some sort of barn, with some creature trying to kill me. It attacked me, jumped in the air, came down on my shoulders and literally twisted my head clean off. I woke up with a neck ache. THAT was freaky.
It's interesting to see how different some cultures think about the things in your dreams. I can't help but remember that one Dane Cook joke...
"You were being chased by a crab? Hold on... Oh, dude. You're gay. The crab walks sideways, and it's like indecisiveness. Was there lightning in the background? Oh, that accentuates the gay. Did he have loafers on?"
Psychology, yeah. That's all I can really say. I didn't get to dream theory in psych yet.
True, anxiety. Why did I think you were someone else when I read that post? I thought you were, like, Myta when you made the post, then now I see it's you.
Whee cartoons. It's always fun seeing cartoon characters get smashed. Not so much if you are the one getting smashed.
Awesome dream. Really. I'd love to have been part of that dance. And it's awesome you just bought your own website, I"d love to have one of my own. I haven't anything to put there, but...
I remember playing doom years ago. It was too easy. I remember a kid playing the left-hand keys with his right hand and vice versa. That's why I drive with my hands crossed once in a while.
By the way, Mr. Stuff, can you do a few anime recommendations for me for me to get for my trip to New Orleans?
I'm looking for things along the lines of Hellsing, Noir, Full Metal Panic (working on getting an dual audio of Fumoffu, I won't have time to read the subs), Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop... What do you think? Any good ones that are not mainstream I'd be able to snag in four days?
You have my congrats, Ether. By the way, I want you and Photon to join Project Laputa, since you'd be awesome at it.
Happy belated Birthday to Yukora from me too, since I didn't get to the thread for him. And congrats on your graduation, Omna!
You have a point, Mamelon, and it's a good one at that. The problem was less that I was dying in the dream and that the dream ends AFTER I die, so that I experience all the pain and unfun of death. Unfortunately, my body also supplies all the pain and suffering, which is even less fun.
I think I play too many video games. If I die in my dream, I have to 'revert to saved' some hours/days/weeks before, in-dream time.
Congrats on having a good job done, 'Fox. I disliked French myself. I had a fun time with it, but it just... Wasn't really fun.
So I'm heading down to New Orleans on Thursday, driving all the way down. I'll be missing again, and wont' be responding to much. I'll have time to post, but not to post much.
My helpdesk should you need me.
Whew Im gettin all dizzy downloading this naruto stuff..Well anyway.
Im so bored at the home right now. Im all alone as usual. Ive done my chores, played ps2, stand by and watch my flashget download progress, and read posts here in mtgs. My fiance works 6 days a week and she's too busy right now. We only have Sunday for our date. My fiance is one year older than me and she recently got this job. I miss her and the times at school when we meet and talk and cuddle everyday back when she was also a student like me. But now, its different. She now works, and in june Ill be at my last year in college. Well be both busy.
But Still, I know our love will prevail.
Anyway she promised she'll wait for me and if I graduate, hopefully after 2 or 3 years well get married. What a lovely goal.
Oh crap my Internet connection is sooo slow right now.
And see my attached picture. Its my Fiance and me at her Graduation night.^_^
*Currently listenin to: Michael Learns to Rock - 25 minutes*
Monogreen 2007 | Jund Aggro MTGO 2013
Yeah ill probably play some other deck that could beat hulk flash like fish and mono black aggro both of those decks are pretty capable of beating flash and still have a solid game against the rest of the field and apparently the mono black deck i posted got 3rd place in the final standings and actually beat a hulk flash in the top 8 but another hulk flash still managed to win the whole thing.
@shadowfox: goodluck with your tests!
@hunter: Good evening to you hunter and i wish you and your fiance well.
Well i just wanted to say good morning to everyone ill be getting ready for work in like 40 minutes from now. I wish everyone to have a great day or a goodnight. See you all soon! *Hugs and blows kisses to everyone*

@Buzz: YAY CONTACT. It isn't the longest game in the world, but I enjoy it a lot because it has that kind of Mother/Earthbound flair to it. What did you think of the plot twist at the end? I personally loved it and hated it. Loved it because I've always wondered how a company would handle something like that, and hated it because it made me feel very sad and kind of guilty, heh.
Seph, and Florida...your fonts make my eyes bleed.
my, some testy footballers today :/
@hunter, you guys are cuuute, way to go!
I'm having my usual rough Monday, but hope to be back on later tonight.
Good morning to you starr as well. Aww well i hope everything works out the best for you and have you heard from the ultrasound people yet? I pray that they will call you soon. *hugs* I wish you a good day today and a good rest of the week.
Well i will be back in about 5 or 6 hours from now see you all soon! *hugs and blows kisses* Im going to eat breakfast then head to work.
Love,

Ugh, many missed pages, I will try and sort them out later. If anyone said anything important here this weekend they feel I should have heard, please tell me.
I am feeling alot better. I am still pretty weak and dizzy, but better and no longer feel the need to expell my inards orally.

I used to be really into sports when I was younger. I played baseball for most of my elementary school years and a little into junior high. But then I discovered video games and fiction writing, and it was all over.
@Tanthalas: That minotaur is DOWN
Well it's fixed now. I'm sure it was just an error with tagging when they removed the "May 20th ..." categories.
So I went to FNM (did OK) with my binder for the first time. Previously my collection binder had every rare I owned, just so I culd easily browse it all.

You're creating a Megaten Lexicon? Whoa, that should take you a lifetime with all the spin-offs and side stories and such. As for the next underdog, it should be here within the next few days. I'm playing the game again to familiarize myself with it, since it's been a while, and I want to do this article right.
Not to mention that I'm preparing myself for someone to call this game a pokémon rip-off so I can go off on them ^__^;;
Seriously, Atlus is remaking Hoshigami of all things. Remake some other obscure RPGs that deserve it more!
Yeah, it definitely had some familiar Earthbound moments. IE. The giant mall in Harbara. Department Store in Fourside, anyone? Even some of the enemies were kinda like a throwback. Appliances attacking, nerds, etc.
I admit I died a few times throughout the game. A few to that stupid Golem in the beginning.
As for the twist, you may have to PM me with it as to not spoil anything for anyone else. I just want to make sure we're on the same page here. It's been a few days.
I'm definitely going to keep playing for a while and get some of the extras. And probably beat the game again, just to see the ending. Also, I've heard about this Wifi Island thingy.
Well, I'm gonna go relax a bit until work at 3, so I'll see everyone later.
I can't remember where it was, but the boss with the changing floor panels really got me. I got so frustrated with it that I just about smashed the DS...and then I took a moment to actually think about things and felt like an idiot O_o;;
The giant mall was my favorite part because of all those arcade machine minigames. That was amazing.
Yeah, that one gave me some trouble too. Even after I figured out how to do it, it still gave me some trouble. Running through those arcade games was a high point to the game.
Heck, I've died from not watching my HP around enemies before and after I beat the game, I went to Ft. Eagle and ran up to one of the SuperWorms, not knowing, and the thing OHKO'd me. I had like 275 or HP and thing did over 400.
Oh my. I never know where to start on these things. Do you have to have dual audio? I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean by not having "time to read the subs". I make it a point to watch all mine subbed, so I really wouldn't be able to tell you which shows have good dubs and which don't.

I need to fix the Geek Mp3s, but I got my (and Sakura's) rotating banners fixed. Nai, I need to fix yours still.
Whee! My own website.
And better news, I have my second job interview today. Wish me luck folks. Still for Wal-Mart; they need to do like 3 before it's a sealed deal.
Alrighty, I'm off. You boys and girls be good now.
