2) Do you find a frequent use of "lol" in conversation a little annoying? I like to laugh and make people laugh so this is mostly when "lol" doesn't really make much sense or is used instead of actual talking.
I do, yet, I am guilty of using it more often than I'd prefer. Generally, it's more of an "I'm not sure how to reply to this, so it's either a smilie or an LOL." But yeah, using it as punctuation is pretty grating.
4) Do you have an age range that you think about with regards to dating?/Is there a too young or too old for you?
It's less about age, and more about chemistry, however, I find myself seeking people closer to my age group, as I do find myself torn between where I am in my life, and where they are.
6) Is it unreasonable to believe you should have a reason for doing things?
No. While things do just "happen" sometimes, you need to have a drive to make things work. If you don't have a reason...even just "I really, really like you," it's doomed to fail.
Honestly i wonder if we just are overestimating the mental capacity for 19 year olds. A lot of you said that he sounded like he was in High School. Judging by my experiences in a dorm in Denton (Clark Hall) the mentality level really was "Hey it's like High School but with dorm rooms!" It didn't change for a lot of people for a long while and only a few came in with the mentality that this was going to be different than high school.
I agree that it's not the age so much as the life experiences and personality that matter. Still reading all the responses but can't post a full reply just yet. I'm hoping we hear more. What do you guys think of each other's answers?
Chase (it is you, right? I forget what your un was...) : I figured out why I like #5. I think it's because he reminds me of Brian Kinney with facial hair. I tend to be attracted to the Kinney's of the world far too often, it's rather unfortunate.
I haven't died or anything silly like that, and no plans to anytime soon. I did take a long-azz hiatus from Magic other than an occasional pre-release event or con draft. V casual stuff. I think I'm doing my first standard FNM in almost two years this weekend, so we'll see how it goes. Township tokens, no idea how to sideboard, yada yada.
Planning the wedding is hectic and we're both unmotivated at times, but it'll come together. I'm putting together the music because I don't trust anyone else to DJ, heh. It won't be for legal purposes, because the state of Pennsylvania is NEVER going to come around on this, but that's not why we're having it. If we need it on paper, we'll go to NY, DC, NJ, anywhere in New England, etc. There are options, ya? In the meantime...just wanted to check in and hope things are going well for everyone.

I play Township Tokens in Standard right now and have been for a few months. You need Stony Silence in your sideboard to have against their Ratchet Bombs that they will bring in from their sideboards games 2 & 3 (yup, all your tokens have CMC zero, sadly). Timely Reinforcements will help you against Red Deck Wins. Autumn's Veil is good if you have any UBx control decks in your meta. I also side some Day of Judgement for aggro decks (lots on them in my meta, and I can rebuild my army pretty easy with Garruk Relentless and Elspeth Tirel). Additionally, I run a singleton Contagion Clasp maindeck for opposing one drops and Illusions, but it's also nice to have that extra way of pumping up counters once the control decks Ghost Quarter my Gavony Township after only one use. I fill in undecided sideboard slots each week with Acidic Slimes for opposing enemy lands like Moorland Haunt and as generic hate. Hope this helps you.

yep, i'm chase. i remembered his name: lars stephan. you can google image search him. he's done some nude modeling...

Further research reveals he's a bit too skinny for my taste but hey I sure as hell wouldn't kick him out of bed.
P.S. You were in NC at one point right? How is it living there? I have an interview at Chapel Hill but I'm not sure how I feel about living in the middle of nowhere....
i'm there now! chapel hill definitely isn't in the middle of nowhere. durham and raleigh are 30 minutes away. plus carrboro is pretty awesome. what's your interview for?

Oh man if y'all lived near each other (since Chase is in Chapel Hill) that would be so cool! Probably hang out more than me and Manders did though we lived not too far from each other >_< WHERE IS MANDERS these days anyways :/ And for that matter where's the Rutledges and the Trenton.
My uncle lives in Chapel Hill (he's gay, too). He and his kids love it there. I take it it's a really nice place, even if it is a bit recessed from the more populated bits of the state.
i guess i'm a bit desensitized to the term having grown up literally in the middle of nowhere- the nearest town, centerville, was 11 miles away and consisted of an intersection with 2 gas stations, a meat market, a volunteer fire station, and an auto garage my great grandfather built. i think they recently got a franchise restaurant like subway or something.
but i could be wrong. that seems like a risky business maneuver.
Whoa, I get on the gaymers thread for the first time in like two months and there's talk of invading my town O.o
Seriously, ya'll (Othito, swishh), PM me. I'm in Chapel Hill studying @ UNC. We've got a good commander group going here. If you want to play/meet/talk, PM me.

Ph.D. in Neurobiology. Though I also have a bunch of other interviews so it's not 100% where I'm going to end up in the fall.
Well, after a long time of dragging my feet I've finally started to start making Magic playmats with hand drawn artwork on them for myself and some friends. I'm currently working on an Okami playmat for myself. I think that it's turning out quite well.
Who knew you could have this much fun with Sharpie markers?
Digging it so far. What other elements are you planning?
Honestly, I'm not sure. I've stalled out creatively at the moment. I totally stole this Amaterasu design from a wallpaper I found online and now, I'm not sure what else to incorporate. For the moment, it almost looks like a Japanese flag with the red sun and the field of white. I did all the drawing for this in a single day yesterday, so I may stop for a few days now, rest and wait for inspiration to hit. I've been toying around with adding Guardian Sapling, flowers, and growing vegetation (to go with the restoration of nature theme), the 8 heads of Orochi around the edges being driven back by the sunlight, or the Celestial Brush Gods forming a large ring around Amaterasu. Or just leaving it all white flag-ish. Just letting the ideas stew right now.
first i wanted to celebrate the fact that mallory archer is kraj's new favorite person. she is my role model.
second, i'm announcing wednesday as hot guy day of the week. i can think of no one more deserving to usher in this new era than matt bomer. by the way he's gay.
micah don't even think about making a joke on his last name.
I'd like to join as a friend of the clan if y'all still have room.
At the moment, I play magic on Modo mostly in casual rooms or drafts. I also recently got into League of Legends and Terraria.
I love gaming with friends and one can never have too many friends. Games are just that much more fun when you can laugh and share the experience, IMO.
Feel free to shoot me a PM for my name on Modo and on Steam.
Welcome HumbledOnion! We're glad to have friends. Post about whatever and we'll get to know each other.
Kraj - I keep looking at your avatar and thinking that Mallory holding a drink and a gun would be a great playmat. Maybe with a quote box at the bottom of the mat. "What do you want? Because all you're going to get is holes. I, I mean holes in you!"
I will, yeah, so long as I feel the conversation has some substance. Unless the guy is seriously attractive, I tend to not reply to a "Woof." message.
I do, yet, I am guilty of using it more often than I'd prefer. Generally, it's more of an "I'm not sure how to reply to this, so it's either a smilie or an LOL." But yeah, using it as punctuation is pretty grating.
I tend to gravitate to older people than myself...30-40 to my 27.
It's less about age, and more about chemistry, however, I find myself seeking people closer to my age group, as I do find myself torn between where I am in my life, and where they are.
No, because I have spent the past 6-7 years pinballing between relationships. I need to spend some time figuring out what I want.
No. While things do just "happen" sometimes, you need to have a drive to make things work. If you don't have a reason...even just "I really, really like you," it's doomed to fail.
I'd say in High School...possibly physically, definitely mentally.
