I didn't hear you complaining about the leather last night....your face being ground into the carpet may have illicited some complaints but they were very muffled...
oddly..."I love you" and "My face is burning!!!" sound very similar when your mouth is ground into the floor.
LOL okay babe, you actually made me chuckle aloud when I read that. But yes, you are right. I was saying 'My face is burning!' But don't let that stop you. Not like it would.
So.. I'm wanting to fiddle with my avatar again. I need something smexy. Any ideas Sakura-babes?
I know lots of people that like it. It's just, eh, the character designs just don't do it for me. I don't know what it is exactly. I have the whole thing, I just haven't watched it yet.
I think we SHOULD try a Coffeehouse Avatar exchange! Anyone else up for it?
Mr. Stuff--I have a suggestion for Anime of the Week: Metropolis. I think you must've seen it.
Osamu Tezuka is a god among men. Of course I've got it! It's right next to Armitage III, Akira, and Jin-Roh. I've just been doing TV series rather than movies for AotW, though. I'll probably do one more series this week, and maybe next week I'll do some movies.
BTW, If anybody wants/needs an avatar, I would be absolutely more than happy to help in that regard. I run a graphics shop, for crying out loud. It's what I do for fun in my spare time. And Sakura, I'll see if I can't color that avatar for ya.
However, tonight was my mother's birthday, so we went out to dinner for that, meaning I don't have very much net time left and I'm very tired besides. I'll have to do AotW and that last request in Anime FX tomorrow. Later peoples.
So, um, The Rocket Summer put their entire album up on myspace, a week prior to it's release.
It is the most amazing thing I have ever heard. It's the most commercial of TRS's releases.... but it's still so amazing, beautiful... I can't describe. Go listen.
Good songs; All of them, but my favourites so far are "So Much Love", "Save", "A Song Is Not A Business Plan" and "Colors".
How has everyone been? I haven't been around much.
@Mr Stuff: I fell asleep in Akira... so boring.
It was my birthday on Saturday! I got some pretty cool stuff,
A record player
A west side story record
A book, "Alanna: The First Adventure" by Tamora Pierce
Some inks for canvas work
A canvas
A small hand-painted china lion figure
Eureka Seven volume 4 (And I went out that day and bought volume 5, it's so great)
Plus mum is paying for the new Rocket Summer CD that I pre-ordered online, and a Threadless tee that should be here any day.
I dont know about all of you guys but i had a really bad day today. First my cell phone goes out for several hours then i had to walk in 120 degree weather today and i had some customers been awfully rude to me saying that i am not going to pay that much for that crap im going to go to another cash register line as what the customer said to me all i said back was okay have a nice day then. I also was super draining tired today and not to mention i was kinda chewed by my assistant manager and supervisor for not doing some stuff right away which i was going to do but never had a chance too since the day was so hectic. Well i could go on but i think im going to stop there goodnight everyone plus i doubt anyone would pay attention to this post so i dont know why i typed this post anyhow.
Well, to answer the LAN-Gaming suggestion. The games shop I used to visit was a LAN gaming place too It wasn't really making much money at all. And people were constantly leaving due to not receiving pay and such.
There's a place by my work which is partially an internet cafe and partially an online gaming place. They have a LAN setup as well as internet connections and all the latest games. It's always packed, and at $5 an hour, they're probably making some serious cash. It would require a serious amount of startup money, but it definately has potential.
If you tell me what colours, I'll do it for you. I've been working on my colouring skills... Milan and I are working on a webcomic. We've already got the first one done, but we're hoping to finish the first 3 before we go public with it. He's the hardcore gamer, I'm the (not so) closeted gay and our buddy Mike is the awkward one. We also have a backup cast of Milan's girlfriend who often splits what Milan says and what he doesn into two seperate entities and our good friend Meagan who is the one girl who keeps me straight. Hehe, it's great.

OMG Are you people all blind?? Kevin really needs our support right now!! He even told me he's thinking of leaving?? Is he that meaningless? I am insulted. I leave the house for 3 hours to see Harry Potter and my friend posts this and you're all laughing about Sakura? Hmph!!
Kevin, I am really sorry you had a bad day.. it seems like it was hell, and I know about working in department stores and with snotty customers.. but I can't imagine the HEAT! *Alacar offers a and some nice cool milk
Shame on you all for not helping someone who needed support. He's thinking of leaving us, for godssake.
And to those of you who think I'm overreacting and that he's just had a bad time.. well, isn't support what the Coffeehouse is about? Sure we talk and chit chat but you guys are all my friends, and I would expect more.

Sorry to hear about the crappy day. I had a similar experience at Warped tour last week, it was scorching hot (34C) and we had no shade and no phone to call for a ride. We ended up walking 30 mins to the nearest phone (it was hosted at a race track outside of the city, and nobody there seemed to want to lend their phone). The next day, I woke up to my manager calling and wondering where I was because they changed my work scedule without even telling me about it. It wasn't impressive.
Sorry to hear that your day was crappy. We all have them, so be resilient and just wait for a better day.
*huggles* I apologize for missing your post the first time.

So, let me get this; he posts because he has a bad day, and you expect everyone to go crazy about it? Is that because he's a regular, so obviously everyone should care about him more??
But, I post saying I'm having trouble initiating a relationship with someone who I really like and it makes me question my sexuality through that, plus issues with my parents and everything, and I get, what, one person vaguely concerned?
Oh. right. I get how it works here now. Thanks.

@PurpleD: OH! Man, you went to Warped Tour? I hate you! Argh! Man, Coheed, Anberlin, Mayday Parade and Rocket Summer were playing at that! How was it, man? I want all the details!
@PurpleD: OH! Man, you went to Warped Tour? I hate you! Argh! Man, Coheed, Anberlin, Mayday Parade and Rocket Summer were playing at that! How was it, man? I want all the details!
Eek... don't hate me!
the show was great. Coheed played a great show, The Rocket summer also did well. I found a couple of bands that I had never heard of before, but quickly fell in love with called "Amber Pacific" who sounds like a lot of other alt-emo bands and "The Briggs" who sound like The Clash meets the dropkick murphys. Aside from the immense heat, it was an incredible day. Good music, kickass merch and lots and lots of autographs. Hehe, signed Coheed sticker FTW!

Oh, man. That doesn't help your case.
I'm really envious. I missed out on seeing Coheed when they were here, and TRS haven't come here yet. I've seen Anberlin, though. and Fall Out Boy. And Ben Folds.
Did TRS play any of their new songs? What did Coheed play? I want details, wench, details!
Hey Kev, completely missed your post, sorry... But you should know by now, as do you Alacar, that not everyone's posts get immediately noticed... Its hard to follow the conversation in here a lot of the time, and oftentimes Kevin's posts are the same thing everytime, so we expect the same cheerful post from him so the post gets skimmed, without realizing it... Which I really do apologize for, kiddo... But you don't need to leave....
And Alacar, buddy.. you of ALL people should know how hard the CoffeeHouse is to catch up on... You yourself were apologizing for your absence, and you made some pretty big misunderstandings, just last week! For this reason, I hardly think this gives you grounds to lecture us about missing a post.. yes, we're sorry about it, and there's absolutely nothing wrong about pointing out his post for emphasis, or commenting on it yourself... But I really didn't see a need for the tone you had... I could be wrong, but I sincerely feel that it was a honest mistake on everyone's part... Also, I am a bit interested to see how you are always the one standing up for Kevin.. He needs to stand up for himself, not have you do his work for him. Perhaps I'm out of line, but this is how I feel, and due to this, CharlieD feels left out and assumes its because he's not a "regular"...... As you say, the CoffeeHouse is indeed for support, but honestly, this thread goes by so fast that its near impossible to read every single post in detail... I can think of at least 5 people who have complained of being ignored when they post here. But as we have covered many, many times over in the CoffeeHouse's history, the way to get noticed is to keep posting and even bring up what you said another time before you get frustrated and suddenly threaten to leave... I've said it before, I've had it a little much with the repeated threats to leave... Its getting a little old... But because Kevin didn't say it himself, I'm not taking it to heart, but rather... Alacar, seriously... You should know this place better than that.. we ARE supportive.... We just missed his post, and if he truly feels bad about how we reacted, he should post again and bring it up, rather than bring you in to yell at us.... I hope you don't feel like I'm being too harsh, I'm just trying to remind you of what we do stand for.. and how we've talked about this before
And Alacar, buddy.. you of ALL people should know how hard the CoffeeHouse is to catch up on... You yourself were apologizing for your absence, and you made some pretty big misunderstandings, just last week! For this reason, I hardly think this gives you grounds to lecture us about missing a post..
Nope, some of us were stuck on a delayed train, then buried under enough work all morning that we could only log in to Salvation a few minutes ago. There were only 3 posts in between Kevin's and yours, as well. People do care, but they often have their own issues to deal with as well, or are simply too tired to think of the best way to console somebody. We do always try and get to things, but sometimes things we want to deal with get buried under piles of things we have to deal with.
With it being 3am at the time of my post, and it now being 7:45am when I am making this one, I can only apologize for my rude behavior earlier, causing undue scorn to everyone else. My throat has thoroughly been jumped down, and not without good reason. For that I am sorry. Especially to CharlieD. I just don't want Kevin leaving, I guess.
editing: Now that I have a little time before I leave, I want to further apologize. I guess I forgot that the Coffeehouse, while a social being that strives to support people who come here, also moves a mile a minute. I DID overreact a little, yes, but only from tiredness and a wish that my friend would not leave. People are welcome to go as they please, but I would rather Kevin leave on good terms to go do other things than to just go because he was ignored and felt bad.
Which brings up another issue that Omna so obviously pointed out: Kevin is playing the Boy Who Cried Wolf in that he's repeatedly threatened to leave, and never done so, and never really stood up for himself. Knowing the guy a little more helps, though, Danica. Kevin is a very sensitive person who DOESN'T have a lot of courage, and while he is confident when it comes to sitting down and playing Magic, he feels that he isn't much of a person in any regard. That is a sad thing to hear, so I wanted to make sure he knew he had support. I care about the guy, okay?
In any case, Omna IS right--we all overreacted just a bit just now.. Kevin, myself, Omna, everyone, but our points aren't less valid. I only wish to say that I would rather not drag this out, since it's obvious things are already blown out of proportions. Finally.. please come back, Kevin?
Coffeehouse Avatar Exchange: So.. to change the subject.. how we gunna do this? I just got a new avvy but it can change no problem. Any suggestions, anybody? I'd be intrigued to find out what someone gives me
Ugh.. 6 hour shift today at Wal-Mart. And only about 4 hours sleep. Damn you, Harry Potter! Oh well, the movie was worth it.
@Charlie: I couldn't really offer advice on a situation making someone question their sexuality, as it's not something I've ever had to deal with. Like I said to Alacar, sometimes things just get missed, or buried under other things, or people just forget to reply. The only thing I can say about the situation is that there could be a whole range of reasons for having problems committing to someone - inexperience, panic, fear. From what gay friends of mine have told me, they tend to question their sexuality more when something like this occurs, as not being heterosexual still carries a stigma of being somehow 'wrong'. I wouldn't go questioning who you are as a first resort, though.
It's mostly cultural conditioning, I think. I mean, I've had a relationship with a girl previous to coming out and of course I'm going to see that as a normal relationship. I think I need to move past that by seeing him more, which I have done, and I'm getting better with it, which is good. I get that big, butterflies in the stomach, panicking, and everything like that. And after lengthy chats with him about it he has informed me that it is totally normal and he feels the same way; he doesn't want to screw it up with me.
But, moving past that, I'm concerned, because he has had a few relationships, and, like, I think he's looking for the real thing. And I don't really know yet if I want to have a long, or short relationship to start it all off. Maybe I'm just too scared because I think if I really get into it with him and it stuffs up, I won't have anyone to blame but myself.
Maybe I'm overthinking the whole thing, and I just need to calm down and work on it as it comes. He's an amazing guy. He wants to take it slow, understands what I'm saying, he's gentle, funny, and it's good he's gorgeous too.
I know lots of people that like it. It's just, eh, the character designs just don't do it for me. I don't know what it is exactly. I have the whole thing, I just haven't watched it yet.
Don't just watch it, read the manga! Sadly, the anime ends at about the 7th issue of the manga (there are 23 in total).
Musical question: is anyone here into the Smashing Pumpkins? If so, what do you think of their new album, Zeitgeist? As you may tell from my username, I'm a big big fan. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the album of my life, but I think Adore was their last truly awesome moment... things kinda went downhill from there. The new album is... better than I expected, that's for sure, but still along shot from MCIS era Pumpkins.
First: New avvy! I think I'm gonna need another for the exchange but unfortunately it follows Sakura's idea (though it's not the same character). Hopefully that'll be OK and the avatar will actually fit size requirements. Anyway, now that that's out of the way...
@Kevin: That's Las Vegas for ya... I sympathize in a way because as it is I can't take 90 degree heat. Thankfully you didn't overheat and dehydrate and send you to the hospital though so it could've been far worse.
@CharlieD: I don't think you're really overthinking it that much. Probably in some areas but the actual length of relationship you want right now is pretty important. It's all in how much you can take should it eventually be over...
Not much has been happening here like usual. I've been trying to heal up my elbow and hand. Finally got some movement in the elbow yesterday so it actually feels somewhat normal again. Both parts still look completely ****ed up but at least they're better than they were.
Other than that I've been checking out a few anime series I never got a chance to see till now - Azumanaga, Fate/Stay Night, one or two others I can't remember off the top of my head. Good stuff all.
Here's a question though for everyone since I noticed this in a few people already. Is anyone else's interest in Magic fading as of late? The last time I actually played was in April though I plan to go to Magic Game Day if I can get a ride out there. Besides MGD and going to an occasional FNM, I really haven't been THAT interested in playing these days...
I doubt anyone would pay attention to this post so I dont know why I typed this post anyhow.
and then the next three people do exactly that - that makes me question some things. Seriously. However, *pokes AL* I don't think we have the right to make anyone stay either, if they don't want to.
As for CD, well, sometimes it's hard here to tell just how important things are to people from one post. If something's really important to you and you want to talk with other people about it, put it in a post by itself. Sometimes you have to bring it up more than once before it sticks.
@My Trip:
Well, parents being parents, they offered to help pay for a more expensive (and thusly safer) hotel for this trip. My mom also wants me to get a real dress suit, so as to not appear down-dressed compared to other candidates. Myself, I'm not worried so much about that... but I'm sure suits are ungodly expensive, which makes me frown.
@Avatar exchange:
So, is somebody going to set this up? I don't have a clue how we would do this... it involves somebody assigning pairs of names, I assume? There seems to be enough interest in it for it to work.
@Magic:
Yeah, I haven't played... well, since the Future Sight prerelease, I guess. I've just not had anyone to play with, except online. When you don't have even a two-member playgroup, your interest in the physical cards (and game itself) starts to wane.
I dont know about all of you guys but i had a really bad day today. First my cell phone goes out for several hours then i had to walk in 120 degree weather today and i had some customers been awfully rude to me saying that i am not going to pay that much for that crap im going to go to another cash register line as what the customer said to me all i said back was okay have a nice day then. I also was super draining tired today and not to mention i was kinda chewed by my assistant manager and supervisor for not doing some stuff right away which i was going to do but never had a chance too since the day was so hectic. Well i could go on but i think im going to stop there goodnight everyone plus i doubt anyone would pay attention to this post so i dont know why i typed this post anyhow.
Not ignoring you babe, but my net time is more limited lately so I read less of the actual posts here since I miss whatever is posted when I am not at work. I just didn't see your post. The start of your day yesterday sounds close to mine (I had to run to work in the heat yesterday) even if I miss your posts and do not reply, you are still one of my favorite people
But, I post saying I'm having trouble initiating a relationship with someone who I really like and it makes me question my sexuality through that, plus issues with my parents and everything, and I get, what, one person vaguely concerned?
I missed your original post too. I would love a recap of the situation though, I am very intrested, and can offer some meaningful advice for sure since i have been there.

I've said it before, I've had it a little much with the repeated threats to leave... Its getting a little old... But because Kevin didn't say it himself, I'm not taking it to heart, but rather... Alacar, seriously... You should know this place better than that.. we ARE supportive.... We just missed his post, and if he truly feels bad about how we reacted, he should post again and bring it up, rather than bring you in to yell at us.... I hope you don't feel like I'm being too harsh, I'm just trying to remind you of what we do stand for.. and how we've talked about this before
Magic Coffeehouse!

editing: Now that I have a little time before I leave, I want to further apologize. I guess I forgot that the Coffeehouse, while a social being that strives to support people who come here, also moves a mile a minute. I DID overreact a little, yes, but only from tiredness and a wish that my friend would not leave. People are welcome to go as they please, but I would rather Kevin leave on good terms to go do other things than to just go because he was ignored and felt bad.
Which brings up another issue that Omna so obviously pointed out: Kevin is playing the Boy Who Cried Wolf in that he's repeatedly threatened to leave, and never done so, and never really stood up for himself. Knowing the guy a little more helps, though, Danica. Kevin is a very sensitive person who DOESN'T have a lot of courage, and while he is confident when it comes to sitting down and playing Magic, he feels that he isn't much of a person in any regard. That is a sad thing to hear, so I wanted to make sure he knew he had support. I care about the guy, okay?
In any case, Omna IS right--we all overreacted just a bit just now.. Kevin, myself, Omna, everyone, but our points aren't less valid. I only wish to say that I would rather not drag this out, since it's obvious things are already blown out of proportions. Finally.. please come back, Kevin?
Coffeehouse Avatar Exchange: So.. to change the subject.. how we gunna do this? I just got a new avvy but it can change no problem. Any suggestions, anybody? I'd be intrigued to find out what someone gives me
Ugh.. 6 hour shift today at Wal-Mart. And only about 4 hours sleep. Damn you, Harry Potter! Oh well, the movie was worth it.

It's mostly cultural conditioning, I think. I mean, I've had a relationship with a girl previous to coming out and of course I'm going to see that as a normal relationship. I think I need to move past that by seeing him more, which I have done, and I'm getting better with it, which is good. I get that big, butterflies in the stomach, panicking, and everything like that. And after lengthy chats with him about it he has informed me that it is totally normal and he feels the same way; he doesn't want to screw it up with me.
But, moving past that, I'm concerned, because he has had a few relationships, and, like, I think he's looking for the real thing. And I don't really know yet if I want to have a long, or short relationship to start it all off. Maybe I'm just too scared because I think if I really get into it with him and it stuffs up, I won't have anyone to blame but myself.
Maybe I'm overthinking the whole thing, and I just need to calm down and work on it as it comes. He's an amazing guy. He wants to take it slow, understands what I'm saying, he's gentle, funny, and it's good he's gorgeous too.
@KEvin: Dont worry buddy Im sure goodluck will come your way! Well goodluck to everythin.
Im noticing some avatar changes. I like them all. ANd sakura-chan, maybe coloring your avvy is a good idea!
Well does anyone like my avvy??
Ive got so many assignments and requirements to pass..Whew being a graduating student is tough! I envy people whose gone through it..

Musical question: is anyone here into the Smashing Pumpkins? If so, what do you think of their new album, Zeitgeist? As you may tell from my username, I'm a big big fan. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the album of my life, but I think Adore was their last truly awesome moment... things kinda went downhill from there. The new album is... better than I expected, that's for sure, but still along shot from MCIS era Pumpkins.

First: New avvy! I think I'm gonna need another for the exchange but unfortunately it follows Sakura's idea (though it's not the same character). Hopefully that'll be OK and the avatar will actually fit size requirements. Anyway, now that that's out of the way...
@Kevin: That's Las Vegas for ya... I sympathize in a way because as it is I can't take 90 degree heat. Thankfully you didn't overheat and dehydrate and send you to the hospital though so it could've been far worse.
@CharlieD: I don't think you're really overthinking it that much. Probably in some areas but the actual length of relationship you want right now is pretty important. It's all in how much you can take should it eventually be over...
Not much has been happening here like usual. I've been trying to heal up my elbow and hand. Finally got some movement in the elbow yesterday so it actually feels somewhat normal again. Both parts still look completely ****ed up but at least they're better than they were.
Other than that I've been checking out a few anime series I never got a chance to see till now - Azumanaga, Fate/Stay Night, one or two others I can't remember off the top of my head. Good stuff all.
Here's a question though for everyone since I noticed this in a few people already. Is anyone else's interest in Magic fading as of late? The last time I actually played was in April though I plan to go to Magic Game Day if I can get a ride out there. Besides MGD and going to an occasional FNM, I really haven't been THAT interested in playing these days...
and then the next three people do exactly that - that makes me question some things. Seriously. However, *pokes AL* I don't think we have the right to make anyone stay either, if they don't want to.
As for CD, well, sometimes it's hard here to tell just how important things are to people from one post. If something's really important to you and you want to talk with other people about it, put it in a post by itself. Sometimes you have to bring it up more than once before it sticks.
@My Trip:
Well, parents being parents, they offered to help pay for a more expensive (and thusly safer) hotel for this trip. My mom also wants me to get a real dress suit, so as to not appear down-dressed compared to other candidates. Myself, I'm not worried so much about that... but I'm sure suits are ungodly expensive, which makes me frown.
@Avatar exchange:
So, is somebody going to set this up? I don't have a clue how we would do this... it involves somebody assigning pairs of names, I assume? There seems to be enough interest in it for it to work.
@Magic:
Yeah, I haven't played... well, since the Future Sight prerelease, I guess. I've just not had anyone to play with, except online. When you don't have even a two-member playgroup, your interest in the physical cards (and game itself) starts to wane.
Not ignoring you babe, but my net time is more limited lately so I read less of the actual posts here since I miss whatever is posted when I am not at work. I just didn't see your post. The start of your day yesterday sounds close to mine (I had to run to work in the heat yesterday) even if I miss your posts and do not reply, you are still one of my favorite people
When i posted that, I actually had a feeling someone would sig that. It made me giggle alot typing it actually lol
Well it is Chun Li, her colors are pretty standard.
Thanks by the way. It is really appreciated. I cannot wait to see your comic.
I missed your original post too. I would love a recap of the situation though, I am very intrested, and can offer some meaningful advice for sure since i have been there.
