The Hangout....where sanity is overrated.

[Saisei Hoshi]

AD - As much as I would have liked to have seen it in theaters it will never come to my small little Canadian town. All we get are crappy (so called) blockbusters, and children movies. Anything not fitting in there means it won't be playing because it won't make enough money to pay for it.


I love not having rules apply to me. heart heart





Random: Hoshi + wii = falling down on a**  

[Abandoned Dreams]

This whole blogging thing will be the death of me. Okami review up. Go buy it. NOW.


Akahoshi - You should consider moving, if only so you can see real movies. Sheesh.

Hoshi = rule free. whee

I haven't had the chance to play with a Wii yet, but chances are good that gravity will make a very aggressive bid for my a**.  

[Xalome]

I suck hardcore at the Wii.

Coordination is not my strong suit. ><;  

[Chibi Koji]

I felt a tad retarded trying to fish on Zelda. D: Don't do it in front of other people. It's not attractive. 8D;;


AD~ Dress code followed. xd

YESS. My little ho town doesn't get it till then either. But it gives me another excuse to go to the city. :'D


Hoshi~ UWAH. Don't give any spoilers! x .x


Iyou~ Is Smash Bros Melee one of those three? :0  

[Iyou]

You bet your doggy-tailed bottom it is. xd Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. (Must... beat... friends...) The second is some wrestling game that I'll probably sell or trade in at a game store, and the third is Mario Golf. Haha.

And fishing isn't attractive if you have the Gamecube version of the game. xD My boyfriend has it - I'm jealous. I've probably clocked in at least four or five hours watching him play it (because I asked him to show me the game, not because he's a jerk who plays one-player video games and ignores me when I come over). I want to get it and play it myself... but I have a hard time convincing myself that it's worth $50 to buy a video game I've already vicariously beaten anyway.  

[QAtheTenkou]

GAH!!! I need to post more. At least work will be (mostly) dead from now on so I won't be so damned beat.

Happy belated birthday to Hoshi, Akahomas or no. Of course to Shiro, Axel, and Iyou all sorts of Birthday luff. whee heart

QUIT HAVING SO MANY BIRTHDAYS AT ONCE.

Yume - Well, I've had LJ for a long time now. It's Friends-locked, and I use it like a regular journal. It's kinda nice to read back sometimes.

I shun My Space though. Too easy for people to stalk you. I mean, you use your real name? Yeah, I've had stalkers before. No thanks.

I would never be bitter enough anywhere to steal. xd Sorry. heart

Shiro - ... *worries* Bullet proof vest! Bullet proof vest!

Remember, weapons you own are more likely to be used against you.

Koji - Heh, pixellated bubble butt.

Which reminds me. At work we have an excercise machine. It's got a close-up photo of a man's a**. (A really nice a**, too...) Above it is the text, "Fully assembled and ready to use!"

Yeah, it's talking about the excercise machine but frankly, that's not the way it seems. xd

...I've never heard of "Pan's Labyrinth".

Iyou - But the Gamecube is awesome! You don't have to worry about it being useless until you buy a Wii. Though, true, there won't be new games, there's at least some good existing games?

I have the Gamecube and I only got a few games. I'll likely, eventually, get the Wii so I admit vague irritation. What happened to the good ol' days where systems weren't compatible? xd

Story time. Yaaaaay.

This post's story is of New Years. =D

I've had a fair amount of alcohol before, and hardly had a buzz. Hell, I'd sobered from the buzz within a matter or minutes. Most everyone was convinced it was impossible to get me drunk.

On New Years, we went to a friend's. I bought a LOT of alcohol for everyone and mixed drinks. Made new ones, too. I was fine most of the night, even with the drinks. I knew, also, to eat before I went. Between drinks, I took time to munch crackers and cheese, a little bread. Stuff to help soak it up.

Shortly before midnight I was offered to funnel some beer. I don't like beer, but Hell, just this once I'll go alc-y.

When they began to put in even more beer, I pulled away, bitching. Of course, they're all buzzed and pour beer all over me. Since they're still pouring, the beer foams over as well and covers my shirt. Disgusted, I start cleaning up. The host offers me one of his shirts and I go to another room and change.

As soon as I left the room, a bright light took over and I only remember flashes. I got drunk. mad D;

Though I have to admit a small amount of pride in myself, regardless. I promptly stated I was drunk, sat on the couch, and refused any more alcohol. The worst I did was stumble and slur a little.

When I woke up in the morning (a little sick to my stomach and that was it), I realized I'd called someone. Remember the guy I ramble stupidly about on occasion? Yeah. Him. >>; And for the first time in my life, I can't remember much of anything.

He's saved it, and I have yet to hear it. o_o; But according to those who were there when I called, and him, I yelled "Happy New Years!" slurred random babble like I was talking to him and not his voicemail, then handed around the phone. xd

One girl had realized he wasn't actually on the line and hung up. When she handed it back to me, I kept talking to the phone! I finally realized no one was there, "Did he hang up? ********." xd

Yeah. NEVER again. o_____o;

aydee

Okami review up. Go buy it. NOW.

one step ahead of you surprised *just went throught the Spirit Gate*
heart heart heart this game is like virtual crack, i swear.
blogging is addictive, isn't it? xD

its too cold for everybody to get naked! gonk or seminaked, as it were.  

[Abandoned Dreams]

New favorite Discovery Channel (shut up) show: It Takes a Thief. Unfortunately, it doesn't make me want to up the security in my home. It makes me want to break into other people's homes.


Koji - Yes, yes, everyone's so wonderfully clever...


QA - Friends don't let friends drink and dial! o.O Who was watching you, anyway?! XD

I hate MySpace. I just can't understand why anyone thinks it's cool to be stalked by people from anywhere.


axel - OMFG. heart So much addictive fun... whee I know you'll love every minute of it.  

[Saisei Hoshi]

Koji - Your outfit is wrong on so many levels.

QA - Your story makes me glad that I'm a sleepy drunk. Once I start getting buzzed I get sleepy and all I do is sit down and start sleeping, it's a bit of a pain when I'm at a bar but in a house it's great. It helps avoid the drunken phone calls and rambling.



Random sort of story:

So I am a Canadian and as I Canadian I tend to have zero pride in being one. But on occasion somethings come up and that pride goes up, such is the case this week. I program came on called Greatest Canadian Inventions and being interested in useless information that may be used later for trivia games I watched it. And by the end of it I was like Canada kicks a**. And while the list was only 50 items I was still interested.

So I have decided to pass on the site that shows the inventions, and while they are not in order it's still a nice view. So here it is:

http://www.cbc.ca/inventions/inventions.html

Anyway I'm off to sleep.  

[Abandoned Dreams]

Akahoshi - I, too, am a sleepy drunk. We're no fun. xd

Wow. If Canada can claim the electron microscope, I'm hella impressed.

Question for you. Since you're the only other person here who owns an X5, do you think that ID3 tag browsing or folder tree browsing is better? I've had four MP3 players in the past 18 months and this is my first to use the latter method and I consider it as a godsend. But, I found this blog rant and the guy's arguing the exact opposite. He's gone out of his way to suggest that folders and filenames are "unwieldy." I'm just curious: am I the only one who suspects that this man suffers from some kind of drug dependency? How on EARTH are filenames "unwieldy"? stressed  

[Xalome]

Hoshi: Yay for Canadians! I knew we were cool. Deep, deep down.

... How unsurprised was I at the retractable beer handle? razz

AD: Your hosue is totally the bets thing ever.  

[QAtheTenkou]

Yume - I didn't actually dial. I pulled up my phonebook, scrolled to him, and selected to call. I still find it funny that drunk, I'm competent enough to work electronic devices, keys to doors, stairs, sort clothes...

Before I was drunk, I'd actually signed a note: "To the people who care, if Nicole drinks too much she can't be held responsible for what she says or does." xd

So when I went to call people it didn't seem odd to them. So far as anyone knows, I have nothing to hide anyway. When calling a "friend", I'm not going to say anything, while drunk, that could be held against me that they know of. Of course, this is a complete lie, I'm just good at hiding things. I'm only glad even my subconcious knows some secrets should remain that way.

Hoshi - I'd even been running on four hours sleep, so I'm not sure why I didn't just sleep. I had started to doze lightly, but snapped back to. I don't mind my weird rambles, so long as I said nothing incriminating. ninja

Still. Never, ever getting drunk again.

Story!

At work, we'd emptied out a really big cardboard display bin. We'd tipped it over on the floor in a main alley to reach the stuff at the bottom.

I'd found a large, flat piece of cardboard, drew onto it a window with curtains, a doorknob (complete with plate and skeleton keyhole), and sign with my name on it. Laid it over the large box's opening and declared it my fort.

And then we joked that the Hotwheels collectors rent there.  

[Abandoned Dreams]

Laitue - Isn't it, though?! Lone chairs are sweet.

QA - Ahhh. Well, that's different. I myself am unable to use technology while intoxicated. Ipods, anyway. Gaming is fine. xd I'm actually pretty good at DDR while drunk, but heaven help me once I step off the dance pad.

Seriously, do you guys ever WORK there?! xd  

[Chibi Koji]

Iyou~ WOOF. Go for it. xD Smash is lovely, and I'm still playing after all these years. And I still hardly ever win a round. 8D;;

Iunno, my friend has the Wii one and he said the ending was cool. I WANT IT. But I'm waiting till I get a Wii (HAH.) to find out what it's about.
My friend works at the game store where I tried the Wii fishing, and after like one cast he said, "Well...that is seriously the most unattractive fishing motion I have ever seen so far. And we let the 7 year olds play the demo. D:"
And I didn't even reel it in. gonk


QA~ Haha, take a picture. xD I found "Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease" dvd on one of my store adventures. If you ever come across it, DON'T try and follow the demo's motions. The employees always look at you like you're some kind of a*****e. xd ;;

gonk !!! http://www.panslabyrinth.com/

AD~ Roffle, that show just keeps teasing me with career choices. 'cept I already knew how to break into a car. Early-morning infomertials showed me that. );


Hoshi~ Aw c'mon. Nothing we all haven't worn before, right? 8D;;
Canadians invented the wonder bra? eek xD



MY TURN STORYTIME:
So I hadn't seen some of my friends in a while, and one of my friends is going to start re-dating my ex-friend, which is all kinds of akward.

ANYWAY, we all end up hanging out by the end of the night, and my raccoon-esque friend get's the brilliant idea to stretch construction site sized rolls of plastic wrap across roads and intersections. This isn't the first time, but this time we covered a SHITLOAD of places, all in the same area. We'd hide in the bushes and giggle when the people would get angry. 8D;;

So we get an entire intersection infront of an elemntary school and we run for the bushes again. A few people come, we angered a white girl and had a laugh or three. We get bored of the bushes so we decide to hop some gates and get into the school. I try my hand at free running (and failed) while they kept a lookout for more victims. At one point this white guy comes driving down and he gets out of his car to get rid of the plastic. The raccoon yells, "WIGGER" from behind the gates and the guy TURNS HIS CAR AROUND and starts searching through the school for us. X_x

Me and my equally-as cowardly friend (There was only three of us.) get our asses to the back of the school where we could escape. We lost track of our raccoon, but we didnt really care as much. >>; I'd assumed the guy looking for us wasn't sober, because no real NCC guy would bother coming after us alone. That and there was some fatty big-kid party down the street.

So me and the lazy (Or smarter?) friend hop the back fence onto a hill with some houses at the bottom. Raccoon comes eventually to confirm that someone was running around the school. He jumps the fence, but goes in the direction of the guy's car, looking for a fight. D: We didn't bother changing his mind, so we waited and he came back.

Something made a noise by the back of the school, so we ran for it down to a path at the base of the hill. I call our getaway driver and head to the street so he could pick us up. I get down to the bottom and I start going down one end of the path, but I see some light flashing. At first I thought it might be a car turning, but then I realised it was a flashlight. O.o We all fled down the other end and kept trying to get a hold of our driver, and narrowly missed the flashlight. We got in the car and floored it outta there.


So umm. There wasn't any real point or relavence to this story. Maybe a moral? "Don't yell things at people who have their car's stuck in plastic wrap." Sure. xd
