@Strongbad, When I get depressed, or generally down, I like to get outside in the night air, stretch a bit and run a couple miles. There is just something about the cold night air, the stars, it just makes me feel a live. That, and the pain and stress your body undergoes during excersise produces crap loads of endorphines, which is never a bad thing. I really feel for you though, I know how debilitating melancholy can be, sometimes it takes support from others to help.
Thanks, usekungfu (btw is there a nickname you want to be called? usekungfu is kind of long. Just wondering). If only I had the time to go out and do that. I am a runner myself, and I know exactly how that feels to just go out and run. But, I have a huge history paper that I need to be doing right now.
And speaking of which, I am going to go finish that right now. Good night Cecilia and Evan and everyone else going to bed!!
Well, usekungfu is much shorter than my real name, Rafael Antonio Rodriguez Montero, most people call me rafael, or raf. I picked up the name "Rodi" or "Hot Rod" in the army, I guess because I'm something of hot head, quick to act kind of guy also, because I love hot rods and muscle cars. As you all can see, I'm more introspective than I was maybe a year or two ago.
* Shin' sold his Soul Calibur 2 because he couldn't find anyone to play with
Luckily I am having better luck with Soul Calibur 3.
Generally I am more of a 2d fighter fan, and for 3D usually prefer Tekken...But Soul Calibur is an amazing game. The problem is it takes so much work to get good at and without real opponents I have little chance at that.
Super Street Fighter II Turbo...I can play at a near tournament level...Soul Calibur I lose to scrubs.
I like the conquest mode though...just wish you had more influence on your characters move-set. If so, I would probably just spend days making characters. i love CAW and similar modes in games.
Generally I am more of a 2d fighter fan, and for 3D usually prefer Tekken...But Soul Calibur is an amazing game. The problem is it takes so much work to get good at and without real opponents I have little chance at that.
This is too entirely true. I love SC too much myself even tho my SC3 game got all screwed up (too many scratches) but I believe it's my favorite fighter of all time. Tekken's nice but it doesn't feel the same... besides it feels cheaper than normal in recent iterations.

Wait...why am I typing this to you, when I could be telling her this?
Also true ukf (your nick when I'm lazy). But ya gotta remember that airing it out to us like that is a good way to get all the grievances out of you so you don't get overemotional when you want to tell her stuff like this. So yeah there is a purpose even tho you didn't realize it when you asked that.
Good luck with that situation!
@Evan: If you ever see the post - If I call you n_p or ninja or something like that I'm sorry. I'm horrible at remembering names and even worse at using them on public forums like this since the norm is you just DON'T.
Quote from Nai »
Blast it! I had to restart my computer and lost my place on the thread. Unfortunately, I have no idea where to start reading and, for some reason, I don't have the want to go back and read like I usually do.
This might have something to do with a good friend of mine, a friend of about 7 years, quitting RPing. It's really the only tie we have anymore, and I'm worried I'll lose a good (if odd) friendship over this.
Also, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. As I said in the Colosseum, I consider Valentine's Day to be a day of celebration of love. Not just love between two romantically tied individuals (though I have to say, Alacar, enjoy your girl, Danica and Ryan, have fun!), but the love between two or more people in general. Friends, relatives... Everything. It's a beautiful day, even if it has been turned into a corporate holiday.
That said, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, COFFEEHOUSE PATRONS! I LOVE YOU ALL!
You didn't mention me and Dreia either!
j/k I'm not here enough to be mentioned me thinks.
So, I just saw Suki was banned for being Tneill. I'm not going to say I didn't suspect it. But I really didn't expect concrete proof to show up this early.
EDIT: CA: Everyone's here enough to be mentioned :p.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
Actually, the reason I named the people I did was that they were the people that came to mind immediately. I didn't know the majority of relationships going around.
Shout out to Yukora and Megan, Dreia and Crimson Avatar, Photon Eater and Ethersphere...
Weird about Suki. I wouldn't have guessed that. I never really knew Tneill, so I wouldn't be able to tell. Good thing he/she wasn't here long. It's not like Suki contributed much.
Kraj (Greg) and Brad...if I recall the names correctly....
*Serves Umgenni wildrose tea* (I hope that's the right flavor)
Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I hope it went well for those who like it and those who do not.
Ethersphere and Photon...I hope you guys get to go out on a date this weekend or something. It's not fun being apart on a day that was meant to express love.
Also, congrats on the custom.
Shin', I hope you and your girlfriend can figure out the best path. I wish you the best.
Depression...I'm not sure if this is just my line of thinking, but I think the weather has a lot of us down. On top of that the emotions are flowing from every direction. May each of those feeling depressed find what they need to brighten their day or times. *hugs to each*
For me, the day didn't turn out too bad. My class got out an hour early which made me happy, since I was almost falling asleep. From there I went to work and went shopping afterwards. I came home to kisses (of the cyber sort) and very cute valentines from Crimson.
As far as gifts and whatnot go. I certainly hope Ryan loves his. It's massive and amazing to see that the Coffeehouse people and others put in the group effort. Way to go everyone!! As for me, I wrote a poem to Crimson. (I hope he liked it!) If you wander about the site, you may stumble upon it.
I'll be heading to bed shortly, so this will be my last post for tonight. G'night everyone.
You forgot me and Cecilia no just teasing you!;) *hugs nai*
Me and shin had a blast playing legacy over mws too bad it crashed his banhammer.dec could actually be a real threat in legacy maybe I am suggesting some morphlings and/or psychatogs in there to finish the deal but not sure if shin' would take that idea.
Well have a great night everyone! See you all sometime tommorrow! *hugs and blows kisses to everyone*
With the money thing I was mostly referring to us paying almost a hundred dollars more a month for rent, so yeah. I mean, in the end it isn't a big deal but when it comes to money I'll worry about anything.
Oh, yeah, there's that, and to be honest I was really worried about that too. Joshua and I talked about it, and he seemed very calm about it. I don't think it should be a very big deal. I can easily manage the extra $35-$40 a month even with smaller wages.
I don't know if it's more noteworthy that we can have that increase without major issue, or that my brother was that calm about something! LOLZ.
I can't blame him, though.
Josh and I play each other it ends one of two ways. Angry fits or hyper-apologetic cuddling =)

Hey guys, just checking in real quickly. I'm kind of depressed right now; I don't feel like explaining why, because I don't even know really. Well, I kind of do, but...whatever, I'm not in the mood to explain. That in addition to the huge history paper that I have to do by tomorrow is going to make for a tough evening :-/. This will be my last post for a long time, probably the whole night, because I don't want to get distracted over and over again. I need to work hard on this paper. I hope everyone had a good day.
Awww. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

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.
I don't know how I got myself trapped into it, but I started playing Neopets again. I think the only reason I bother is that there's minigames to play that I don't get tired of. Solitaire with a prize works for me, I think. Not to mention a friend or two of mine plays it, too.
*yawn* Good morning everyone. It's 4:45AM over here and I have to be up to finish my history paper. Luckily, all I have to do now is my annotated bibliography, so hopefully it won't take that long,
@Sephiroth: Hey, good morning to you. I hope your suspension wasn't too painful :). Now get to judging my card, mister!! Just kidding, you can take all the time you want.
@Nai: Thank goodness no. I used to do that, but luckily I was able to stop myself.
Thanks man At least someone noticed I was back
The suspension is gone now, so lets here no more about it.
@ Your FCC: I will do it when I get home (5 hrs from now :))
Okeydokey, no hurry. I think we are all glad that you are back though. Its just no one is here at the moment to welcome you.
Nai, you're a very sweet person. It's rare to find someone as considerate and kind-hearted as you these days =)
As a belated Valentine's Day thing, I wanted to share a handful of songs that I consider Josh's and mine. They really mean a lot to me, and I always feel very comforted and emotional when I listen to them.
The first is Masami Okui's Toki ni Ai wa which translates to "At Times, Love..." from the Adolescance of Utena movie. This song has always been my quintessential love song, because I first heard it on the day we met. The translated lyrics can be found here.
Next are Chris Cornell's Sweet Euphoria and Pillow of your Bones (lyrics can be found here), both of which I generally refer to as "fiercely romantic." Chris Cornell's voice and lyrics have been with me since I first started really getting into music, so it's only fitting that I hold his songs close to my heart.
I hope some of you guys enjoy these songs. If the downloads run out and you still want them, let me know and I'll refresh them for you.
I have some bad news everyone i was in a car crash last night it was horrible, and scary espically at 14. I'm ok though no serious injuries or anything just the fact im tramtuzied to go on icey roads for life now. Sorry to spoil the vibes of the house.
I'm really sorry to hear that, Allin. I hope you feel better soon and that the roads don't stay scary for long =(
I kind of thought Suki was TNeill. I mean, the name was incredibly familiar and the way she talked about certain things really got me. So yeah. Some people really never learn.
Depression...I'm not sure if this is just my line of thinking, but I think the weather has a lot of us down. On top of that the emotions are flowing from every direction. May each of those feeling depressed find what they need to brighten their day or times. *hugs to each*
Amen to that! When it comes to winter, I don't mind the nasty cold, I don't mind shoveling snow or slipping around on ice. What I can't stand is the days and days of no sunshine (and in Chicago, we can easily go a couple weeks at a time without it in winter). Blissfully, this winter has been full of sunshine so far, so I do not complain about the bitter cold one bit

@Kraj, yes, yes I did talk to her; I made her cry, in a good way.

I don't have any particular disdain for Valentine's Day (at least not any more than I do for the other commercialized holidays) but we don't do anything special either. Basically, what Valentine's Day means to Brad and I is it's a pain in the you-know-what to get a table at a restaurant. So I cooked. And it was good. No hoopla, just a nice cozy meal and a moment to say I love you before catching up on House.
