I do enjoy Halloween a bit. I never really dress up for it anymore but I think about it from time to time. I just never have the time or money to really go out and do something extravagant. When I had long hair I could have pulled off a real convincing Jack sparrow, or else at least a decent pirate. Now, well I think I'd like to try my hand at being "Roy Mustang" from Full Metal Alchemist. Maybe in a few years when things become stable. I could go as an unemployed bum....then I don't have to dress up.
In the mean time I'm back to my standard unemployed bummery. Which apparently now entails studying several hours for a GRE, correcting a graduate program admissions paper for my mom, taking photos for my cousin, building a website for my cousin, applying for jobs, and filling out university admissions forms. What happened to my weeks in the mountains?!? :gonk::gonk::gonk:

Anyway, I just wanted to say to the Americans voting on Tuesday. Don't worry, it doesn't matter who you vote for. It's going to be another 4 years of hell - but worse. But at least it will be different than it is right now, because how it is right now is downright miserable. For all of us.

Look....I realize you live in Canada and have a perfect society. Legal marijuana, better beer, change of seasons....but over the last 8 years the document that was put into place, that created this great country based on ideas and ideals, has been lining the bottom of the bird cage that is the white house. There is no possible way that new blood in there won't realize what it's perched above, and wipe it off for a good read. I don't actually believe that everything will be better next week, but I do believe that if someone other than McCain gets in there, the world as whole will breathe a sigh of relief. Obama, before he entered the white house, has already reached out to countries and governments that the Bushies haven't aknowledged in 8 years.
I love you R_E, but Ihave to admit....if all you can do is crap on the U.S. every time you post, I'd rather not read it. That's saying a lot too. I hate the state of this country as much as any taliban member. I haven't agreed with it's principles for nearly 7 years now. I have felt as if my freedoms have been stripped from me everyday. But I still love living here, and believe a new regime will be a great rebirth.
Remember, this country you hate so much buys a lot from you. This country you hate so much stood behind you when you were in a really bad spot. And this coutry you crap on everytime you post provided you with the lass you currenty reside with.
Sorry I had to come off as an ass, but I'm just tired of hearing how horrible our system is. We know it has flaws.....but that's like telling a amputee that he walks funny.....every single day for the rest of his life.

I think that a part of it, also, is pride. It's one thing to ***** about the US when you live in the US. We're all completely aware of what a terrible state our State is in. But we live here, which makes it different. Canada isn't perfect, but we don't go out of our way to bag on it at every conceivable opportunity, either.
And I definitely disagree that things won't change. Obama is aware of what is wrong, especially where global policy is concerned, and will act accordingly.
I am going to a Halloween party on Friday, it'll be great. I want to go as Ziggy Stardust but I don't think I can pull it off.
Hey, you better bring back pictures, guy!
Happy Halloween! First Witch: Round about the cauldron go;
In the poison'd entrails throw.
Toad, that under cold stone
Days and nights has thirty-one
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot. All: Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble. Second Witch: Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. All: Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Third Witch: Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches' mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg'd i' the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Silver'd in the moon's eclipse,
Nose of Turk and Tartar's lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron. All: Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble. Macbeth (4.1.5-37)

As for nobody putting Canada down Nick, nice try!
Making fun of someone's accent and pronounciation is completely different than trashing a country in every post. As I said....the constant trash plucked my last nerve. As for bringing the rest of the world down....if you're talking about the economy....that is global. It may have started here, but the global economic problems are just that.....global.

Funny thing; the market bust has actually kicked the local housing market in the tooth, so we can afford to buy again

Yeah it is a buyers market....the only problem is that no bank is willing to loan money to anyone. Plus the majority of folks out there have bad credit now. I actually think that theres some large entity out there buying up super cheap foreclosed homes and renting it back to the very people who lost them. Somebody's making loads of money from this crisis. Not sure who...I suspect the Illuminati. :sweat::sneaky::sweat::sneaky::sweat:
Quote from Daron »

Not much of a difference if you continuously bash the place we live. Guilt by association and all that jazz. Listen Daron, you've obviously put us on the defensive. I'm not sure if thats what you intended but thats what happened. When you first lamented at the state of things we agreed. After all, its not like you are making things up and we are frustrated about the same stuff. You've just become rather aggressive and obsessive about this. Like its suddenly become your mission to bash into our heads the absolute notion that we suck. With constant Lyrics, links, and condemnations its no wonder some of us are getting annoyed. The broken record is getting as bad as when Alex+ was pining and whining over his random girls constantly.
As for your complete pessimistic and defeatist attitude. *SLAP* Cheer UP! It's bad, but not thaaaaat bad and its not going to be hell. So snap out of whatever depressing spiral you're in and cheer up. Think of Puppies and kittens and sunshine and lollipops, dress up for Halloween, and Carpe Diem. You're not helping anyone by giving yourself an Ulcer.
Don't make me bitch slap you again.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

You know, I think this is the first time I've ever seen you refer to our clan in a way that excludes you. ...and the notion that your spot can be filled over this? Well, I've got to admit that I'm confused.
I mean what exactly are you getting at? What do you want? This isn't some debate issue thats caused massive drama and fractured our clan. Hell, as far as I can tell everyone thats voiced their opinion has agreed with nearly every point you've made.
Thing is, your last few posts have grown more and more aggressive and..well...pissy. To the point that I've become weary, annoyed, and as I've said before, defensive about it. So when I and others mention this you tell us that we can't handle it then take off? If I didn't know any better I'd almost think you were trying to insult me.
I'm not sure whats gotten into you, but it doesn't sound like you. Taking a break will probably do you good. Talk to you when you get back.
Bah, I grow weary of this thread. I know we just barely hit 13 but we could use a new clean thread.

Halloween party was lots of fun, although it was more of a booze-up than anything, really. Couldn't get boots so I looked like the singer from a New Wave band more than anything. *shrug*
My friend took lots of pictures, I'll get them off her and show you guys.

Ha ha, well at least you dressed up and looked like a singer from somewhere.
I didn't dress up, just wore what I always do. Strange thing that though. Seems that if I stuffed my shirt full of straw and wore a straw hat I'd look remarkably like a scarecrow. I didn't do that, but I think I should be disturbed since its what I normally ware.
I did go to a haunted house and rode a haunted hayride. Not bad, very nice decor. The actors were a bit late to their posts in the house so instead of random people popping out going boo I just bumped into costumed folks in the hallway.
I think I had the most fun watching other people scream and be all scared and what knot. I swear they are all just playing it up, but fun all the same.
good times.

Diggy, I say go for it. BD hasn't been arround since he suggested what to do for the clan contest. Then he went MIA (along with more than half the clan). So don't bother waiting for him.
Do try to avoid the dry wit of British humor. I can never understand that smeg.
Life threw me a little curve ball today. Went to take my GRE exam and followed a google directions map. I left around 5:30am to give myself plenty of time to get lost...cause thats what I do. Still, there was no compensating for the fact that the directions took me almost 50 miles away from the intended destination. I called and called the college but they were closed until 8:30am and didn't bother answering the phones until 9:00am, the start time of my test. They gave me accurate directions and an extra half an hour to try to make it. Was still impossible. No refund on that. Now I'm out $140 and I need to pay another $140 to reschedule.
I really can't afford that. Especially with application fees to every university reaching upwards of $60, GRE score submissions at $20, and official transcripts at $5. I want to apply to as many universities as I can, but if I go for just ten thats still almost $900 with no guarantees on anything. Doesn't help that I've scored relatively low on my GRE practice tests despite the hours of studying.
The combined blow to my ego and confidence is not devastating, but it has sent me reeling. I'm in the middle of nowhere with no place to go and no desire to do anything. It's like I'm struggling with a defeatist attitude vs pure apathy. I'll probably just vegetate here and read webcomics for a few hours before searching for a camping spot.
Blasted winters, bed time should never be at 5:00pm...I've half a mind to head south for more daylight hours.
Despite my mood I better not leave on a downer. Choose your Attitude and throw fish and all that jazz. I've got that website I've been working on up. http://hilkhuijsen.com <----go there. Last name is pronounced "hilk-house'n" It's not 100% finished but I did spend hours and hours working on it. I got paid too, though it felt really awkward to accept money from a relative who was housing and feeding me...especially the amount he gave me. I can pay for my GRE two times over (which I am doing) and still have enough to buy a combo meal somewhere. But I didn't protest...he said he was going to pay me at the beginning and I never gave him a total so he gave me what he thought my work was worth. Plus apparently I'm going to be his web master for life. Not sure exactly how I worked that in considering he just wanted me to take some pictures. Sometimes I think I have a bad habit of being too nice until I'm in over my head. Ah well, I think I like the challenge of being a web designer/master and it was fun too.
So all'yall go take a look at my first official website. (and if you somehow remember a website I showed near ten years ago, that doesn't count.:p) Try it out and test the links and stuff, I would really appreciate feedback of any kind. Imagine you just bought a plot for $500,000 and am wanting to build a multi-million dollar house. Would my website convince you of the professionalistic prestige of my architect?
oh, and If anyone knows how to create forms to send mail please tell me. I used to do a simple "mailto:" function but now with the latest updates that doesn't work. I need to do some funky CGI thing which really confuses me. So instead of some neat form on the "contact us" page I just blew up really big the normal contact info that is on every page. Ugg. But best I can do right now.
Cheers,
Daggertooth

Are you a pilot or a creator??
Send me your cards DUX, I will make sure they get plenty of whiskey.
Daggs, when Reya set up my mother's site, she used a Textpattern widget to do the webform contact page. I think it's just a matter of plugging that into your html + tinkering it to say what you want. Too easy, right? Sucks about getting lost. It's never a good time to piss away $140.
Well, life decided it was time to take a colossal **** on me. A loan that was supposed to get me through college was just canceled by my bank. I didn't even know they could do that.
This means that I can't afford my college expenses, and I won't be able to for a long time.
Right now, I am working two jobs, a full-time one at a warehouse, and a part-time job as a security guard for a local factory. the latter of which is a night job. This means I get to sleep every other night for for about an hour between employments. Essentially, I am fighting with everything I have to keep the apartment I just moved into.
This reminds me. I forgot to tell you all that Kristen and I have moved in together. We're renting out a place right now, and she's still going to school, but her dad's paying for it. At the end of this semester, she's going to switch to a full-time shift so I can quite the night job.
I have no idea how I'm going to make this work. I'm honestly rather scared that I will end up evicted from my apartment. I can't exactly go home, because my parents are working off of nothing and there's no way they can possibly afford to house me again. hell, one of the biggest reasons I left was to give them some relief.
I'm not. I dropped out of my classes because I had to save our apartment. My schooling is more expensive than Kristen's, so it was the natural move to make.
That, and I have a strange need to be the bread-winner and the one to make sacrifices for the ones I love.
Hello everyone. I've been soakin up he rays of light bulbs here in sunny Phoenix. I'll be callin up Nick here in the next day or so. I think I'll crash is party tomorrow and introduce myself to his clan. I gotta say...the temp here has been highs in the 70's and if this was the truth year round I would move here. But alas....115 degrees is a little too hot for me. I'll stick with my cold east coast. You are all dorks....and I talked to Canadians last night and most of them are very pleased! jj

I did go to a haunted house and rode a haunted hayride. Not bad, very nice decor. The actors were a bit late to their posts in the house so instead of random people popping out going boo I just bumped into costumed folks in the hallway.
I think I had the most fun watching other people scream and be all scared and what knot. I swear they are all just playing it up, but fun all the same.
good times.

Do try to avoid the dry wit of British humor. I can never understand that smeg.
Life threw me a little curve ball today. Went to take my GRE exam and followed a google directions map. I left around 5:30am to give myself plenty of time to get lost...cause thats what I do. Still, there was no compensating for the fact that the directions took me almost 50 miles away from the intended destination. I called and called the college but they were closed until 8:30am and didn't bother answering the phones until 9:00am, the start time of my test. They gave me accurate directions and an extra half an hour to try to make it. Was still impossible. No refund on that. Now I'm out $140 and I need to pay another $140 to reschedule.
I really can't afford that. Especially with application fees to every university reaching upwards of $60, GRE score submissions at $20, and official transcripts at $5. I want to apply to as many universities as I can, but if I go for just ten thats still almost $900 with no guarantees on anything. Doesn't help that I've scored relatively low on my GRE practice tests despite the hours of studying.
The combined blow to my ego and confidence is not devastating, but it has sent me reeling. I'm in the middle of nowhere with no place to go and no desire to do anything. It's like I'm struggling with a defeatist attitude vs pure apathy. I'll probably just vegetate here and read webcomics for a few hours before searching for a camping spot.
Blasted winters, bed time should never be at 5:00pm...I've half a mind to head south for more daylight hours.
Despite my mood I better not leave on a downer. Choose your Attitude and throw fish and all that jazz. I've got that website I've been working on up. http://hilkhuijsen.com <----go there. Last name is pronounced "hilk-house'n" It's not 100% finished but I did spend hours and hours working on it. I got paid too, though it felt really awkward to accept money from a relative who was housing and feeding me...especially the amount he gave me. I can pay for my GRE two times over (which I am doing) and still have enough to buy a combo meal somewhere. But I didn't protest...he said he was going to pay me at the beginning and I never gave him a total so he gave me what he thought my work was worth. Plus apparently I'm going to be his web master for life. Not sure exactly how I worked that in considering he just wanted me to take some pictures. Sometimes I think I have a bad habit of being too nice until I'm in over my head. Ah well, I think I like the challenge of being a web designer/master and it was fun too.
So all'yall go take a look at my first official website. (and if you somehow remember a website I showed near ten years ago, that doesn't count.:p) Try it out and test the links and stuff, I would really appreciate feedback of any kind. Imagine you just bought a plot for $500,000 and am wanting to build a multi-million dollar house. Would my website convince you of the professionalistic prestige of my architect?
oh, and If anyone knows how to create forms to send mail please tell me. I used to do a simple "mailto:" function but now with the latest updates that doesn't work. I need to do some funky CGI thing which really confuses me. So instead of some neat form on the "contact us" page I just blew up really big the normal contact info that is on every page. Ugg. But best I can do right now.

..You mean ol' Americans bullied the Canadian away...?
I haven't posted in a while. Mainly b/c I don't have much to say. MTG is dead to me for the most part. I wish I could get back into it but i seem to have lost all interest. IDK if I'll be going to worlds, eventhough it is in my own state. Sux.
Prediction: McCain will win.

Homebrew is creating Magic.
Are you a pilot or a creator??
Daggs, when Reya set up my mother's site, she used a Textpattern widget to do the webform contact page. I think it's just a matter of plugging that into your html + tinkering it to say what you want. Too easy, right? Sucks about getting lost. It's never a good time to piss away $140.
This means that I can't afford my college expenses, and I won't be able to for a long time.
Right now, I am working two jobs, a full-time one at a warehouse, and a part-time job as a security guard for a local factory. the latter of which is a night job. This means I get to sleep every other night for for about an hour between employments. Essentially, I am fighting with everything I have to keep the apartment I just moved into.
This reminds me. I forgot to tell you all that Kristen and I have moved in together. We're renting out a place right now, and she's still going to school, but her dad's paying for it. At the end of this semester, she's going to switch to a full-time shift so I can quite the night job.
I have no idea how I'm going to make this work. I'm honestly rather scared that I will end up evicted from my apartment. I can't exactly go home, because my parents are working off of nothing and there's no way they can possibly afford to house me again. hell, one of the biggest reasons I left was to give them some relief.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
That, and I have a strange need to be the bread-winner and the one to make sacrifices for the ones I love.
Fail.
On the topic of elections etc., I got my "Enrol to Vote" application the other day. So weird. I am going to get my learner's license before I fill it out though, otherwise I need a birth certificate sighted by an official and it's all very complex and yeah.
