Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

But what are you building that would make customs want to take it off you? It's just something computer-related, right?

[incognito]

Yes but it is high tech.

[OCG]

So what? Consoles are also high tech and customs never took them from me. They just open package a bit to see what is inside and then they proceed.
Is transporting computer related things illegal for you or something?

[incognito]

They are fucking THIEFS !!!!!!!!

[Shrooblord]

I actually ordered some Binding of Isaac Tarot Cards from Edmund's store and I received the package having been opened. I can relate seeing how Isaac is basically naked and they are cards that might have had some funky imagery on them, but they aren't - so I got them still. The only thing that's been slightly touched is the packaging and I'm alright with that.

Seriously though, incognito, there is absolutely no reason for customs to take your hardware for whatever reason. If they would, nobody working there would actually get it. If they take hardware, it's because it's dangerous - say, a bomb - and they will destroy it. Unless you are building a bomb or your computer is made of cocaine, you have nothing to fear.

Show Off.

Lucky guy

Show Off.

Like, seriously, what?

[incognito]

If everything was so simple.

[OCG]

I have no idea what are you on about Incognito.

[Shrooblord]

Well I get the feeling I understand, but it's best to just drop it and move on.

+ Going to visit family in England next weekend.
- Got an exam the Monday after.
+ Got only one assignment to really worry about this week.
- I've got an assignment to worry about this week.

Incognito's situation loosely reminds me of the time I flew to Mexico, and when I got there, one of our not-as-flexible luggage bags was cracked and smashed with everything gone through, and the other had all its bottled liquids poured out into it and it was chocked full with pencil shavings. My portable hard drive and laptop was also broken.

Damn. I know this is quite late, but I'm quite sorry this happened. I know I would be devastated if anything happened to my dog, especially if it happened like this.

Yep, still no luck unfortunately. I was actually quite offended when we were at my brother's birthday dinner, and both he and my mother were almost laughing when they said that they felt nothing at all when she disappeared. No, not in a totally inhumane and sociopathic way, but in a way that immediately made the situation uncomfortable and unbelievable.


+ I had a great weekend. I picked up a tape deck with one of my friends and we recorded two muse albums to cassette and went around the city on public transportation listening to them through our walkmans (walkmen??!?///), sitting beside eachother. We also programmed a basic rollercoaster construction system for our little Rollercoaster Tycoon side-project. Later, the band I'm producing came over and we recorded for the first time ever in Cubase, and it turned out perfectly, as did their playing. Usually they have a tendency to play very off-time, and I have to spend hours editing it afterward, but they played perfectly on time throughout the whole session on Saturday. No editing required at all. We finished off the weekend with some two-player Super Mario World.

Sounds like a fab time, Addy! I'm really mortified about what happened to your cat though. Best situation, I guess, is if she managed to find a home with someone else... one of my cats hopefully once shared that fate, though I fear it was otherwise... :c

- My mother is being a bitch because I made her get out of her little world where everything is perfect and fine. I'm already dealing with enormous stress because I'm still having to wait on my test results and I'm so convinced I failed Biology that I'm already telling myself that I will have to extend the year a little with summer school, but not until today after constantly pointing out that I'm most likely gonna have to go did my mother realise that no, I can't just not attend and skip a state test. What this means is that if I do go, our vacation plans are pretty much getting fucked (And I've already told her that's the case and told my father not to book until I got back my results), and when that hit her she went from having any form of sympathy for me regarding the fact that I pretty much missed out on the first entire semester of the year, to some kind of fucking screaming attack about how everything always revolves around me and how I'm digging my own grave in school (Which she would totally know because she's been doing a really good job at not giving a shit about my struggling with this year at all). I'm so fucking done with her.

- And on top of that, I was in my room the other day and noticed that the living room got noticeably quiet, and when that happens there's always someone talking shit about someone else, so when I opened my door to listen I was presented with my mother mocking me when I had a breakdown a while back (I didn't mention this on PC but basically it's the reason as to why I'm back in counseling again). Yeah mum, I scored a result implying I have a legitimate case of social anxiety, maybe learn to fucking read up on it?

[Shrooblord]

What shit parents some people have! Hey, Keane, if it's worth anything, you come across as quite developed and well-skilled socially, even if you might think that's not the case. Only morons talk behind other people's back for no real reason, because they're too boring to talk about anything else and resort to gossip.

[Zikken]

+ Seeing old signatures I made for some members here makes me want to draw again.
- I can't sleep again, this insomnia is never going to go away.

Wow. No offense, but it sounds like you live with unbelievably shitty people.

[OCG]

- Feeling big pain on my bad leg which has calcification of bone. It happened to me in 2009 when I fell dow very bad but after some time I got used to it, but recently these days after 15 mins if I go to run (I love running) it hurts so much :/
It never hurt like this since I got that injury and I am afraid I will have to go see Doctor.

- My weak heart also hurts me these days, it is pissing me off so much. Doesn't help that every day I keep finding reason to be upset. Gonna go see doctor to check my heart too.

+ got PS Vita today and got all trophies on Welcome Park tutorials, and I was surprised really nicely when I saw PS Store has Free to Play section too.

- No PSOne Classic is in that section.

- Crash and Spyro games seem to not be avalible for download

+ Pac-Man World 1 is

- When Vita arrived, I had to pay 50€ to customs while regulary it should have been 20€ but seller faked price to customs

+ Got refund from seller 30€

+ Found Japanese PS Vita Rayman Origins and Legends for good prices on YesAsia site

[Keane]

- Just found out that a girl in my area has been missing for eleven days. Human trafficking always really gets to me, but it being both someone my age and so close to me, is pretty terrifying. I guess it's because it's easier to imagine myself in the situation.

+ I'm most likely not going to have to attend summer school

+ I finally have a clear idea of how to pull my grades up. I think my Biology average may not even be all that bad, so here's to hoping I can get through this trainwreck of a year without failing a single class or test.

+ I'm finally actually going to have time to start seeing my friend more regularly again.

What shit parents some people have! Hey, Keane, if it's worth anything, you come across as quite developed and well-skilled socially, even if you might think that's not the case.

Haha, well It's just a bit of ignorance. I adore them to death but the problem is that the big, important things like my anxiety are the things usually not taken seriously.

It doesn't have much to do with my skill at being social. Often when I meet up with my friend, I tend to be the one talking most often. It's most a combination that meeting strangers really gets the nervousness going and I have a lot of trouble finding people who I could see myself being friends with.

[MLII]

-- someone replied to one of my rp prompts with this
~: GO THE FUCK AWAY LOSER!
~ ended the chat.
and i feel kind of distressed

like it wasn't even like someone just dropped in and yelled it we legit ooc negotiated plot points and characters etc and then i post my reply thing and this is what they come out with??

(the ~ isn't actually a ~ it's a squiggle symbol but pc flipped out on me when i tried to paste it for some reason laughs)

[Rulez]

+ I played the snare drum when the other students walked in with the school's banner during today's ceremony of saying goodbye to the 12th Graders! I was a bit worried I'd fuck up, but I did not!
