The Hangout....where sanity is overrated.

[Chibi Koji]

I'm still kicking my feet, that article was great. xD I'll finish responding when I can sit still.  

[Nyome]

I'm sooo alive, you guys. > >;

I've just started piling on the real life crap. I'm starting a campus job, an art company internship, and volunteering with kittens on the weekend. And I have 8 am classes every single weekday. The few minutes I have online, I think of GASOC ( because it's in my bookmarks... * w*; ).

I'll try to catch up on posts later, but I saw the word "porn" and decided it was safer to avoid that for now.  

[Abandoned Dreams]

Koji - I know. Awesome, wasn't it?


Nyome - Yep. Murder and porn. That's GASOC in a nutshell.

( heart ) Don't wear yourself out, you silly overachiever.  

[Memai-kins]

*rolls about in wallow and self-pity*

See, I totally learned from moaning college goers about the crap load of work they throw at you. So I'm not complaining as much (eventhough I DO wish redundant assignments could be spared... geh!)

Anyway, I'm... okay. Life's not terribly brilliant, neither is it going down the toilet. I do have a few stories here and there for you guys :3

Anti-Anime Article >> Ah, I would've written up a hefty and intelligent argument to that, but it seems the masses has already beat me to it. Seriously though, it's like only exposing yourself to horror movies and thinking that every director's a closet Satanist/sadist trying to coax the masses and the media glamourising all that is gory and gross.

Or something to that extent. You can never really tell with these jumpy people, I imagine the person who wrote it up had a bad run-in with a cosplayer or some such.

Porn-shop boys? >> Sex retail. Gotta love that XD I can totally see myself as that one chica living above a gay bar and across an XXX store. Life = 1.

All that is fangirling! >> I have this pretty extensive rant about a fangirl of mine on campus, but I'll spare you guys. I think she's upset at me because I said that it was better if she did her own work rather than boss people around (more so if said work was only drawing 4 lines on ten different pieces of small paper), her excuse of being tired notwithstanding, since she could easily dilly-dally for a whole half-hour showing me what her posse of other like-minded losers do at 3 in the morning. Which wasn't funny by the way, I do NOT like seeing a fat kid with goo on her face, hair in a mess and wearing shorts and a tank top, dancing about on a table.

I, however, don't feel bad about her in the least. I think it's cool that she admires my work and all, but the thing that bugs me is that she considers me a close friend (well, she isn't one to me; we hardly see each other aside from the mornings, and even then she butts into my group and harasses my photography buddy to consult her about *tacky* gothic things should he decide on that for a subject).

She's... SHE'S SO GEEKY IT CAN'T EVEN BE CONSIDERED COOL gonk It's shallow, I know, but would *you* like to be seen in broad daylight, in public with a less-than-attractive girl wearing a horribly conceived Lolita dress? Showing you stupid videos she thinks it's funny, but you only end up feeling sorry for her for not knowing what humour really is D: Then of course, she tries to get you into her works, her comics, but it's so cliche you'd rather go through your Sailormoon/DBZ/Pokemon faze than deal with all these DDX

So I ask you, well-informed and wise GASOCians, is it right for me to be frustrated at her? She bothers my friends (who I never introduced to her, by the way), she's an embarassment to anime fans and forces her way into hanging out with me. And how do I tell her that she's just a fan, not a friend without being too direct? I'd rather not make myself look like a jerk and have her crying about it online, then I'd lose the fans that actually behave like fans D:  

[Abandoned Dreams]

I have absolutely no idea why it's there, but if the Bananaphone song does not vacate my head the next few minutes, I shall be very displeased.


EDIT (22 hrs later): ringringringringBANANAPHONE!



Memai - Goo and...whatnow? o.O Yeah, that's hella awesome...

You have every right to be frustrated. The fact that she admires you does not, in any way at all, excuse her for being pathetic and making your life unpleasant. I guess avoidance is the easiest solution. It's unnaturally hard to get rid of tacky fans (as opposed to regular, more sane people). I guess there isn't any way to easily avoid hurting her feelings and hearing about it online, but so it goes. All famous people have hecklers, after all. whee

I have now experienced Excel 2007. It is far too shiny. Took me forever to find the file button, much less figure out how to fill a box. gonk

And Oh Holy Crap, my roommate actually -bought- the Stephanie Meyers book. gonk I peeked. I trembled. It was sad.

Memai: Just do your own thing and keep yourself occupied away from her. Internet fame is overrated, the people who are your "fans" like you for you and won't care what some loony says. Keep your distance and she will eventually take a hint. Worse comes to worse you can always smash her with the cluebat. C;

ETA: I also love how Aydee's earworm has transferred all the way down into her sig. rofl heart  

[Abandoned Dreams]

axel - Have you experienced Word 2007? I made the leap from 97 to 2007, and the shininess is killing me. I mean, shiny is good, of course, but not when I have to concentrate on tricky little things like words.

You are rooming with a madwoman. I offer you the sanctuary of my home; please let me know when I can expect you.

I've started using "banana!!!" as a response to coworkers' questions. It hasn't cured the song in my head, but everyone has finally stopped asking me for help.  

[Saisei Hoshi]

Grrr my job screwed me over. I was all set to be done with it and the decided to hire me on so now I need to find an apartment and that's not fun. I could have said no but really I need a job back at my home they're a lot harder to find. So my absence is caused by stress of find a place to live.

AD - ring ring ring ring ring ring ring BANANAPHONE!!!!! (just in case you forgot, since after reading posts here, it's now in my head)


Anyway work and finding an apartment is going to be taking up a lot of time so if I disappear for a while it either because the bananaphone song has driven me insane or I'm running around looking for an apartment.

Lates heart


*EDIT* It's Knock Knock Gimme Candy Jerk time, and so I'm now dressed up for the occasion. And what am I, why a Loli Mime of course with a kitty.  

[Abandoned Dreams]

Dear Gaia: Please stop bombarding me with announcements every time I log in. Remember the good ol' days when you ignored us completely? I miss those. Now it's OMFG Gaiaz in TargetzYAY! Or NPC bondage. I'd really appreciate some silence. Thanks.


Akahoshi - You didn't have to take the job, silly.

The Bananaphone song is finally out of my head. Took it long enough. I guess I should find a new sig.

Rawr. heart heart Lookin' sexy as always.


EDIT: In other, more hilarious news, they've removed the spam filter from our mailbox at work, and I am now the Human Spam-Filter. IT wasn't happy about doing it for us, but they kept randomly deciding that our clients were spammers, and it's never cool to call up a client and explain that "We didn't get your request because our filters thought your attachment was hardcore XXX material, rather than a liability form. Sorry about that."

It's a sad, sad state when the highlight of my day is being paid to weed male enhancement offers out of the company email box.  

[Saisei Hoshi]

Ok so last night after I got home from work, I stumble in to my friends apartment and grab something to eat and watch a little tv before I call it a day and go to sleep. And what does my friend tell me, "We want you to leave on Sunday.", as in this Sunday, in barely three days. Now I was hoping to be able to stay for till at least the end of the month since most apartments open at the beginning of the month, but that wasn't going to happen. And there solution for finding a place to stay was to try and stay with another friend that lives somewhere in the city. I know sort of the location and it's like on the other side of town, and since I don't drive I would need to take a bus and well the buses normally stop when I get out of work (I actually take the last running bus). And taxis are out of the question because it would cost me like $40 dollars a day since I'd most likely need to take a taxi to and from work. Needless to say last night I was a little pissed. and really I still am.

So this morning I wake up at like 9:30am and start getting ready to go out and look for a place. And my friend woke at some point when I was in bathroom and is sitting in a chair, and as I'm putting on my belt they ask me where I'm going. I almost lost it, how the hell do you forget telling someone they have to leave in the course of 8 hours. So in my nicest holding back the anger voice I say "I don't know, maybe to look for a place to live.". That's as nice as I could put it with out cursing and calling them many many names. So 10am till noonish I was walking around going in any apartment building I could find and everything was Nov. 1st, except one place which no one was at the front desk. So I go to a restaurant were I figure they'll have a paper so i can look through the classifieds to check out apartment listing and by the end I had a list of like 30 places that I had to call, not really how I wanted to spend my afternoon. So I went to the place where no one was at the office and to my surprise they were there, no the downside was no rooms. But as I say thanks and turn to leave they tell me of an other building apparently owned by them and there's one room there, and an other downside would be that it's accross town from where I am.

Well why should I care I need a place to live and I needed it asap, so off I went. Now here is where I bring up I have no idea were anything is in this city, I know roughly where streets are and some landmarks. And with my bad sense of direction after 30 minutes of searching I found it, go me. Now I'm expecting to get told that it's either taken or it's available on Nov. 1st, so expectations are low to non-existent. So I start talking with the guy and he tell me the price $760 and the utilities included (everything but power) and then I ask when it's available and he say now. Those were the magic words, after hearing that he could have said anything and I wouldn't have cared. It's a little bit smaller than my old place an the rent is more but whatever it means I can keep my job and I'm make like at least $1200 every 2 weeks so it's not that bad.

So tomorrow I have to go back with my paper work and hope that it's still there. (he said he'd save it) It like a 15 minute walk from where I work and there is a bus stop in front of the building and it's on the route of the bus I tend to take so it's got all the bonus so to me it's evening out the price.

Still mad at my friend though but I'm pretty sure it was the roommates decision, so I'll get over it by the end of the month. But for now they're on the s**t list.

Gah, long story which no one probably wanted to read but I needed to vent and I don't have a blog. So sorry for stretching the page.



AD - Totally with you on the announcements, I just clear them and there are like 5 more the next day. All I want to know are when there are new items to buy and if s**t is down. Nothing else. I don't care about movies and voice raped anime, or every little thing that is happening. Pretty much when I see an announcement I ask myself what is Gaia trying to selling now.

And the job I know I could say no but really in the IT field jobs are not as easy to come by when your fresh out of schooling and everyone seems to have more experience than you. And with the loans I need to pay, a nice high paying job will help the process, plus the health plan kicks a** for someone with health problems. It was hard to say no.

I'm glad bananaphone is out of your head it still lingers in mine.


Congratz on being a spam filter, but just think of the wondrous things you will get to see now.


Ok that's enough of a post.

BANANAPHONEsex xd heart

Well, I'm dolled up for Halloween (in case I forget to dress my avi up and go last last minute shopping XD), literally >w<

Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know I'm taking part in the 24 hour comics challenge on Saturday - Sunday :3 It'll be a blast XD And naturally, there will be photos and anecdotes, that'll be cheerfully put up for all of GASOC and the world to see heart  

[Saisei Hoshi]

I want a MEMAI DOLL. *claims* Now to put it in a case to protect it and keep it's value up. Now if only I could get an AD and Lang dolls as well. *has visions of tea parties dance in her head* Great now I'm giddy.

Memai - Good luck on the 24 hour comic., I can't wait to see it.


In other me news the apartment is mine I just need to grab all my clothes and stuff from my friends and drop it off at my new pad tomorrow as well as my the rent and get my key. Then it's shopping time because it needs lamps since there is no lights except for the kitchen and bathroom.

I won't have internet this weekend so no big crazy parties.

I shall not comment on Rowling's latest act of being a complete authorial hack, save hissing through my teeth. *does so*


Akahoshi - That's outrageous. They should at least have given you a week's warning. I'm relieved that it worked out well enough for you. And you're more than welcome to rant here anytime you like. Heaven knows I do it often enough.

For the most part, the spam's been male enhancement offers and stock tips. I'm hoping the truly juicy ones will start coming in later so I can give my boss a hard time over the mental anguish I'm enduring.



Memai - heart heart Adorableness.

Can't wait to see the results of the comic challenge. whee  

[axel]

Aydee: I shall heartily take up your offer.
....she said it was "surprisingly good." gonk
I shall take solace under your couch, I will be by sometime this week. *shakes head*

I seriously thought Rowling's whole whateverthehellthat was was a complete hoax. Seriously. Lady. The series is over. She clearly reads too much fanfiction. I have a mental image of her squeeing in her own home. gonk

Hoshi: What a pain in the a**! I'm glad you're doing well despite all of that. You're quite a trooper. heart

Memai: Can't wait to see the comic! :3 I always wanted to try, but I never made it that far. xD  

[Abandoned Dreams]

axel - Seriously...it's no trouble if you'd prefer to sleep on top of the couch.

I saw the headline ("Headline"!! It made ******** CNN.com as a headline!) yesterday afternoon and first stared, then laughed until my stomach hurt like hell. Of all the attention-grabbing, absolutely pointless stunts for her to pull... This is not to say that I would not welcome a gay character in the HP-verse (they certainly run rampant in the fandom), but this was NOT the way to go about it. God, what's next? Harry's weight? Ron's secret hobby of collecting porcelain unicorns? Ugh. UGH. As if I needed more reasons to be disgusted with Rowling.

*breathes*
