Things You Never Expected to Hear Yourself Say

"Aaaarrrgh, the lip of that pan just got under my fingernail and burned me. God, I think it's blistering under there."
"Fuck! Don't talk about it! Go put some fucking ointment on it or something, what the fuck is wrong with you?"
"I have to say it out loud first so I can post it in a thread on an internet forum I frequent." -
Oh, I wasn't sure if there was a significant addition to gameplay that changed your mind or something. Incarna is slowly being released, I guess they now have 3D captain's quarters you can walk around in or something. Right now, it has no effect on gameplay. I really love the idea of that game, but the execution ends up making me agree with the people who call it a massively multiplayer spreadsheet. Even spec'ing out a ship was an exercise in advanced mathematics, which I do enough of outside of playing games.JukeBoxJosh said:

Story. Now.
I did not want to tell it since it makes me look like a douche but I guess I did make the comment so I should explain it.
Well it is not that long of a story. I was helping an ex's mom move some things while she was going through with her divorce. I had told her I would help before I broke up with her daughter so I decided to still help after since she did not have anyone else.
After we had finished moving she asked if I wanted a drink so I took her up since I cannot turn down free alcohol. Well after drinking for a while she let is slip she was always jealous of her daughter for snagging me, or some line to that affect, and it went from there.
It probably would not have happened if she had not felt alone due to the divorce she was going through and I probably should have turned it down. Also, she was around 30 so there was not as much of a difference in our ages as there could have been. She had her daughter when she was 13 (they start early here in the south).
Now the super douche part. Her daughter and I had a bad break up so I took it upon myself to let the daughter know about what had happened. I also sort of told her in from of her friends at a mall. I tried making it as public as possible. I got the shit kicked out of me by one of her friends but it was worth it. -
This story is either awesome or horrific, on many different levels. Either way, it made me giggle.

+1 for MILFing, -30 for being a bastard to your ex about it.
I want to point out that the reason that ex and I split up was my fault completely, so I would up that to a -60. I was mad at her for being mad a me and she was mad at me for being a major douche. In retrospect I really should have handled that a little better. It is not something I am proud of. -

You must have a paid account before you can cash in a PLEX card for a free month's time. A free trial account won't be able to use it.
However, once you pay for the one month, you can ISK mine and get PLEX. Know that, by most calculations, you will be working over a 40 hour week each month just playing EVE to obtain enough ISK to obtain a PLEX card for the next month.
You don't have to be actively paying, so long as you are not using a limited trial account (which has item/skill restrictions). For example, take a few months off from paying, EVE offers you a free weekend, you somehow get a PLEX: free month. -

I don't know how I feel about that, but if I can draw and stuff while EVEing, it doesn't bother me as much. -
Alternatively, you could find a better way to make ISK.

Maybe one of these days they'll make it off my "List of states that aren't really states anymore".

"I should learn some Elven phrases."
No, Josh, you shouldn't. That is a bad idea. Just so you can roleplay your half-elf? No no no nononononono. First off, your "friends" in the group will ridicule you, regardless of how cool it sounds. Second, that is one step closer to living at your Mom's house forever, never to find a job or know the love of a non-pixelated woman. -
Dude. Just find a girl who likes Elvish. Then your sweet Sindarin pick-up lines will not go to waste.JukeBoxJosh said:or know the love of a non-pixelated woman.

This by a lot. I'm designing a tattoo that is going to be a Viking poem, translated into old Norse and transliterated into runes, drawn on the body of a serpent framing a hammer of Thor. I wrote the damn poem myself, in drottkvaett (Viking poetic verse), and I'm going to translate it myself into old Norse and then transliterate it into runes.Dave said:The trick is knowing you're hot shit and not caring what other people think.
That's fucking nerdy as hell. And look at all the fucks I give. You know why? Because fuck you, I'm awesome, that's why.
Fuck that - a little bit of arrogance is actually warranted. I find the correct level of delivery is around 80%; if you can back up 80% of what you say, people will forgive the 20% that you don't.Sonic said:Remember: The key is confidence, but not arrogance.
Trust me, throw some swagger in there. As long as you don't get self-deluded, you'll be fine. -

Ah Regina is an interesting singer, someone I can get in the mood for from time to time but hard to recommend to others due to her style.
Howdy, Stranger!
