I woke up too early and played some transformice and SS13, and now I'm hungry

Gee, Brohno, what do you want to do tonight?

Just trying to find a job like usual.

Eh, I actually went outside today, physician did some routine checks, seems like I'm still alive.

Mowed the part of the lawn that isn't a swamp due to all the rain we had here during the weekend, watched episode 17 of Steins;Gate, installed a few mods for Minecraft (the Better Than Wolves mod doesn't seem to get along well with several mods) and took a nap until it was time for dinner.

I fell asleep around 7;00 AM (didn't really "went to bed" cause I hardly leave it); woke up a while ago, at 5:30 PM; ate (a bit) with my family and now I'm back into my room, lying on my bed, laptop on my belly... and believe or not, I do am tired so I might -try to- sleep a bit.

>>9465
I've never modded minecraft myself, but I've heard the guys who make that mod are total assholes and it wouldn't surprise me if it was made to conflict with other mods on purpose. Try yogbox instead

Went to sleep at 5. Woke up at 8:40. Got on the bus at 9:05. Slept through class from 10:00 to 11:26. Missed the bus at 11:29. Read K-On! 1 in Japanese for an hour waiting for the next bus. Got on the bus, head down to avoid somebody, at 12:29. Walked home, arrived about 13:00. Tried to sleep while watching assorted old episodes of anime without subs for 5 hours. I felt like I was probably too tired to enjoy new episodes. Picked a couple people up at 17:30. Here I am at 18:30. Pretty uneventful day so far. Maybe I'll try to sleep again.

I'm not trying to brag about the Japanese stuff. That's just what consumes my life right now. Learning and/or absorbing Japanese.

Today it was my birthday. I slept in, went to the store, made a nice chocolate ripple cake and shared it with my maifu.

Pretty good day, too bad none of my family or friends cared, but that is par for course.

>>9468
He's a dick alright, but his mod has some pretty neat stuff, and with a little trial and error it can be made easily compatible with other mods.

woke up early, posted and reblogged my tumblr, cleaned the house.... tried to play the piano part from twinkle real star... not difficult to play but I've got some trouble finding the arpeggio patterns...

started researching rpg campaign guidebooks and sensitive music

got up at noon, had a muffin with some shojo anime on the tv, shower after mom got home, watched a anime ova with while eating a subway sandwich she brought.
played a older videogame for a few hours untill my room warmed up, stood in the hallway pressed against the wall of with my room on the other side for 15 min or so as I listened to the sound of my clock. posted a bunch of stupid stuff here, did some modding of another older game (woot, the town now has a kfc) took some photos of stuff I was planing on selling online. played more of that game for a few more hours till my room warmed up again, let a fan in front of my open door and tryed to deal with it as I posted more stupid stuff here, more modding, more posting..

tldr, I wasted yet another day of my life.

>>9474
>tumblr
I hope that's just because you're making money off it.

Today my dad's email was compromised (no surprise since he is an idiot) and I spent 30 minutes trying to convince him to change his password

>>9470
It's nice to hear that you had a good birthday. Happy birthday late in.

Today I made sure to have a relaxed day, so to make up for the rather eventful day that was yesterday. That is listening to music, watching lighthearted things, eating fruit, sorting stuff; thinking, acting, playing and talking casually, taking it easy - enjoying various things.

I'm preparing for tomorrow. "Family and Friends" are going to go eat together and I'm preparing myself for the answers I'm going to come up with for the inevitable:

"Why don't you have a 3DPD?"
"Why don't you have a job?"
"Why aren't you in school?"
"Why haven't you moved out yet?"
"Why don't you have any hobbies [we're interested in]?"

Such is life.

I made some spreadsheets today. One for video games I want to play and their cost/download size, one of fall's anime, one for blurays of anime that I need to download to replace TV versions. It's all really in vain though, I don't have money for games, hardware to play the games, or hard drives to store the anime.

Then I watched the new episodes of Steins;Gate, Kaiji, Morita-san and Nyanpire.

>>9515
I have a wedding to go to on saturday, so I know how you feel. It's with a side of the family that none of us are particularly close to, though, so maybe they won't care enough to even talk to me

My Dad's 3DPD came back from her overseas trip a few days ago, and she has been staying here ever since...has she moved in? It really irritates me because I pay half the rent here, and she is what you would describe as a complete "normal" so I've just been avoiding her.
Anyway, thats why I was relieved that I had to work yesterday. I had honey chicken for lunch. I really look forward to lunch times at work. When I got home the kitchen was a mess so I just ate snack food for dinner. Then I listened to an audiobook for a few hours before bed. Honestly I feel like I am living the dream.

>>9519
you should tell your day if she's going to be living their that you should only have to pay 1/3rd of the rent.

Bought a rice cooker, and contemplated suicide. It's been a slow day, but at least the heat wave should be letting up soon.

>>9469
Good luck in your studies (Japanese), anon.

>>9523
Glad to still have you with us.

---

Nothing noteworthy going on today. Thinking about various things, reading about various things, trying a new game, buying a not so new game.. Good night.

We go to a wedding today, and my mom said I don't need to go if I don't really want. This made my dad angry, and he said maybe we should just keep a chart and count how many days I don't step foot outside. For some reason this almost made me cry

Tried to do something to stem the tide of insects getting into my room. It seems they're getting in through cracks between the wall and the floor, and near the sink. I have no idea what they could be after - the place gets cleaned pretty thoroughly and there's no food laying around. Maybe it's just the heat.

I'm going to start watching that Penguin series. I like penguins, so it should be pretty good.

>>9551
Went to the wedding, and had to deal with my brother constantly asking me how hot I think the girls there are. When I respond with indifference he asks "Don't you notice these things?", so I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm gay. Oh well!

>>9562
Being gay is great! You don't have to deal with anything related to getting a girl and establishing a family. That's all in the public eye, what you feel personally you can keep to yourself. I'm pretty sure your brother or whoever wouldn't ask whether x guy is smoking hot or not.

>>9568
Some do

>>9568
Yeah, plus there's less pressure to act like a macho asshole, and you get to access the secret gay menu at Taco Bell.

>>9571
There's no secret gay menu at taco bell

>>9572
No, no, of course not! Not at all!

>>9562
>I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm gay. Oh well!

Don't let the their thoughts get to you.

Today I came across a picture of my waifu. Then I had to throw it away because of that.

Today I woke up earlier than usual because of the heat in my room. I got to practice trumpet and play League of Legends by the morning. I'll be going off shopping for food later today and come back home for more practicing and maybe read Cradle Song before I go to sleep.

Well, shit.

Played Touhou for the first time. I can see myself becoming addicted to it very easily.

I also went for a walk with my parents around the lake, which basically means I spent the whole time listening to music and ignoring them.

>>9606
Wha...oh! Oh!

>>9491

got up around 10 because of my alarm, but stayed on the coach for another hour just because there's nothing better to do.
had a muffin as I watched some shojo anime on the tv.. damn I do that a lot..
watched a old movie a game I had been playing was based off of.
not much else aside from sitting in a dark room in front of my pc (becuase my mom keeps bitching at me for leaving my light on)
although I did get in some yuru yuri, that was like the best part of the day...

more or less the same for the days between posts.
only highlights would be my mom forcing me to call my dad for his b-day, which was a month ago and hearing him give me crap about not having a job, and the animu crap on my car which he told me to take off.
mom been bitching at me extra about not leaving my room, since the mother of one of my old friends from before I became a shutin died, and she thinks the same might happen to me since she was also inactive, but she was also 3 times my age and 400lb, I wonder if it makes me a bad person that I not only didn't care that much (but do wonder how her kid took it) and I wondered how they would stuff her into a coffin, if they make double wide graves ect.
Mom took some money of mine to buy herself a birthday gift, which kind of bugged me, not becuase she never gets me anything on mine, but becuase I had already ordered something for her which she told me to get her a few days before, that and the gift was a new phone, and a few months ago I bought her a new cellphone which was like 150+, I forget exactly.

Had a cable guy show up, seemed my mom upgraded our contract with my isp, I frantically tryed to hide as many figs and animu stuff as I could, but there's just so much crap here I gave up and tried to keep him out, guy probably thought I had a drug lab in my room from how much I tried to talk him out of coming in here, I thought I made it, untill the end of his visit when he said he needed to check the modem.
looking at me you'd think my dog just died after being hit with defeat as he went in, I couldn't bare to see someone else in my room.. he couldn't have robbed me blind, to top it off, he wanted to use my computer to check the Internet connection, but I got him to leave it by saying I already did just before he went in.
As he left he told me I have a cool room, and that hes also a pretty big gamer, I'd rather he not have said anything..
My pride felt as if it had been gang raped in a back alley.

and now I feel like crap for blogging here..

Woke up at 9, parents went to a funeral and I rented Source Code (it was OK). Later they will be going out which means i'll be all alone and it's hentai time!

I was awoken by my bro and his GF and some annoying child, they were all loud, not sure what time it is, maybe 3-5pm (no clock), kind of tired, and hungry, but don't want to leave room, because strangers are here. I'll just F5 the slow tohnochan...

>>9635
dude whats your car look like.

>>9644
>but don't want to leave room, because strangers are here

This happens to me all the time. My dad will have some buddies over and I will make sure i eat and use the restroom before they get here so I won't have to go out there

>>9644
crap if you ask him.
but pretty normal, just a few animu decals and stickers, it's not much.

Woke up at 6pm, went out in a storm to get some beer plush fish and chips. Don't have to work till Thursday so I might clean up then play some go along with some LoL.

Only highlight is that I got accepted to college and my tenga arrived in the mail today

>>9647
>my tenga arrived

What model?

>>9648

Deepthroat

I'd figure I'd try one of the cheap models before I invest in the flip hole

Went to the gym to lift weights.

>>9651
Same here.

Played some Killing Floor with some friends. Me and a friend were supposed to simultaneously watch Shiki but he hasn't logged on. My aunt from another country gave me a lecture on my life and why I shouldn't be doing nothing all day.

I cooked an awesome chicken curry that will feed me for the next 3 days

I studied a bit and now I'm making lunch.

Also waiting for my memory stick pro duo to arrive for my PSP.

I think I'm losing it physically. Been having the occasional headache in addition to a consistent, but not all that debilitating, pain in my left wrist and left... foot wrist if that's what it's called. Also my eyes feel really weird and when I've been reading I noticed things are getting blurrier and I sometimes see sets of the same by each other. It's odd describing this all, but I am getting pretty worried.

Just found some 2hu tracks I like, gonna dump them here to pick them up later.

Also dumping some other sites so I can pick them up later also. I'm not on my own computer right now...

>left... foot wrist
Ankle?

Have you been taking anything? Painkillers or Panadol or something? Try taking a walk around, or just do some wrist and ankle stretches/exercises.

Most important is probably to get off your computer for a day, it is probably causing you eye strain and headaches. Just go have a rest, eat a bit and have some peace and quiet, it is possible you are just overstimulated.

Hope this helps out bro.

Today I spent all day helping my parents pick out and move new couches into the house. I like doing things for them because it makes me feel like less of a useless tumor on my family, but Haruhidamn now my body is sore and I missed an entire day of internet time.

Played Killing Floor, watched a few episodes of Gundam X, took a nap, applied for jobs online, listened to my Dad bitch about how I don't have a job, applied for a few more jobs online and then slept some more.

My mother told me earlier I need to start seriously thinking about what I'm going to do with my life (I'm 21). I would tell her it's hard for me to think about getting a job and such things when I don't really want to live anymore anyway, but that would just upset her.

Woke up stupidly early, had a pop tart, sat down at my laptop and found some torrents finished, sang bad karaoke of anime OPs in the shower, had a sandwich, posted on tohno-chan a bit, fapped in girls' clothes, suffered some bipolar-related angst, family drama, read some comics, watched some more of Zeta Gundam, and went back to the internet.

tl;dr - Nothing productive.

Stayed home sick though I really didn't need to (no illness, just felt bad / exhausted). I enjoyed the day off (video games hooray) but am kicking myself because I feel like I took my slacker attitude too far and I'm gonna pay for it.

I've been sick for 5 days now, probably a flu. I'm having these really vivid dreams (one included Tohno-Chan but it wasnt a website; it was like an image board in real life). For some reason I started re-reading House of Leaves. Now I keep waking up with bedsheets soaked with sweat. Also I read The Lychee Light Club which was okay but I didn't find it scary or disturbing in the slightest.

I got a smartphone which is cool because when I wake up I can check my email without stumbling over to my desk and sitting my bleary eyes in front of my PC monitor. I've hardly used my computer at all lately.

I played vidya for very long time and my game extended for a bit too long. Now I've slept 4-5 hours and I am really tired in work. I get some coffee now.

Today was perhaps my most bored day yet. I got up at 2am-ish I heard people, turns out they were drunk and I watched them in the dark and turned on a light to get them to leave as they appeared to have started fondle a car out front, they disappeared silently, then I rested, then I went to watch star trek, turns out it is the week end... I think I tried writting (if that was today, I don't even know), then I went to check if star trek was on again, oh ya it's the weekend. Then I ate, and in between I repeated checked sites for new posts, I don't think there were any. Somewhere in between I went on IRC, and looked for IRC games, there were none. I also downloaded a few classical song from /mp3/, my speakers aren't loud enough, I couldn't hear. Then I had a shower. Then I ate, then there were some more posts, then I replied, then I decided to go to sankakucomplex, that lasted about 5 minutes + 40 minutes of loading (slow PC), then I checked sites again. And somewhere between that I checked if my laptop was running a web server, it was. Then I searched how to do dynamic DNS, then I didn't do it. Now I am going to bed, or something...

Also I reread this post like 10 times, it is horrble.

Woke up at 11:30, watched some anime, played some games, thought about changing my Steam avatar but my OCD wouldn't let me decide what I liked best so I didn't, and later I'm going to watch Breaking Bad and probably play more games after that.

Today I made a new NND account because I forgot the login details on my old one. Getting sick of youtube deleting everything I want to see, so time to jump ship

I saw Stop Making Sense at Red Rocks Amphitheater. I despise that venue, but it's a great movie.

Today my mom, in her growing quest to persuade me to get a job, told me I should be a "home school computer teacher", which can apparently be done over the internet. I hate kids, I can't explain things worth a shit, and I have trouble interaction with people, yet she thinks that job would just be perfect for me. What the fuck



I'm also shit at computer-related things, but I don't know if she meant literally a "computer teacher" or she meant I would teach using the computer. I'm going to guess the former since she assumes me being on the internet all day means I'm an expert at all things technology, and because of that getting a job at Google is another dumb thing she was pressuring me to do.

I spent most of yesterday and today locked up in my room because my sister and her friends were having yet another get together. Like usual, they spent the entire time in the main part of the basement, just outside my room, watching TV and making too much noise for my liking. I spent most of my time during the past 36 hours either sleeping, playing Fallout: New Vegas or watching Redline (which was amazing, by the way).

Thankfully, they're all leaving for college soon, so there will be plenty of near peace and quiet here for a long time, I hope.

>>9823
>there will be plenty of near peace and quiet here for a long time, I hope

Depends on how far away that college is. I thought things would quiet down here after my sister moved out but now she comes over ever day to eat.

>>9824
From what I've been able to gather, most of her friends are going out of state for college. My sister on the other hand, is going to take a semester's worth of classes before transferring somewhere else, so she'll still be living at home. However, her friends won't be here two to three times a week like they were this summer.

Speaking of school, my parents pushed me into taking a few classes at the same community college my sister is attending. Classes start next week, I'm not looking forward to it.

>>9827
That's a bummer. What classes are you taking?

>>9829
Sociology, Drawing, and some basic computer class I need to take in order to take other computer classes. Just three classes, easy ones from the sound of it, I'm just not fond of the idea of going back to school.

Been typing out ideas I had for a comic series all morning and all last night. I don't know if it'll come off as fuckawesome or dumb as shit in the end, but I'm getting really into just coming up with characters, scenarios, backstories, potential plot, etc. I think I might be getting a little too crazy into it though. I've been up for hours now, and I haven't eaten or showered or done anything else since I woke up. I want to take a break so bad, but every time I start to step away from the computer, some new idea or detail comes to mind. It's kind of awesome though. Whether my idea ends up being shit or not, I have not had this much enthusiasm about anything for a long time.

A shame I can't draw for dick and don't know any really good artists, otherwise I'd be all over actually making it.

I preloaded the new Deus Ex game and spent the rest of the day watching an LP of Super Marisa World.

Tried broccoli and cauliflower soup today. No idea how long it's been in the cupboard for but it tasted surprisingly better than I thought it would. Other than that, I went for a drive with my dad who needed to buy milk.

>>9847
Still at this. Got about 11 single-spaced pages and counting of ideas, notes, character bios and plot summary. Don't know why, I doubt it'll ever get made.

I don't think I've done much else for the past 4 days except eat, sleep, shit and browse tohno-chan here and there.

>>9879
The only people who can't draw, are the people who won't draw. That said, there are definitely levels of quality when it comes to drawings, but even the worst art is better than no art. You will learn a lot just by trying anything and hearing what people have to say about it. Just try it.

Coming down off of 4-day dextromethorphan trip or binge or whatever.

>>9888
I've heard it before, and I agree.

I just have this thing with getting nervous tremors in my hands from medication side effects. Nothing too bad, except for anything that requires precise manual dexterity. I'm still waiting to hear back from a doctor about something to take for that. There are some times it's not as bad as others though, so I'm still trying to work around it and learn to draw in my spare time, but I'm still at the beginner level.

On another note, I keep wanting to get some criticism on my writing, but I keep avoiding asking my family, and I'm not really sure who else to ask. It's one of those things that (I'm hoping) could be good in execution, but if you try to summarize the plot out loud in detail, it probably just sounds a bit complicated and stupid to anyone unfamiliar with the story or genre. Like Evangelion or Metal Gear Solid 2. Or a lot of things.

The protagonist being a trap doesn't make things any easier for that either.

Today is my first day of classes and I'm getting nervous, as the classes are rather small sizes ;_;

I wasn't on the internet for the past two weeks, and having spent a few hours online again I am pretty underwhelmed by it all now. Pretty strange, usually I wake up around 7 and get bored around 6 PM, but now it's 10 AM and I'm already bored. Perhaps a few of you should give this sort of thing a try, might change how you see the internet.

>>9902
Might have to try this. I've been glued to the computer way too much the last few days. I keep forgetting to eat or shower or do anything til the early evening.

I have this nagging feeling I should try and be a little bit productive. Or at least pay my other hobbies some well overdue attention.

>>9902
I can't go too long without internet because I will fall behind on reading posts for all the sites I visit.

>>9904
Yes, yes. I know that feeling.

>>9904
Yeah I know how you feel. When I was without internet for two weeks I was wondering about all the stuff I was missing. I was actually able to catch up on everything worthwhile in about a couple hours, which was really eye opening for me. Made me realize that most of my time on the computer is spent waiting for interesting things to come up.

There's this useful add-on for Firefox called Leechblock that can block certain websites that you pick if you feel that you are spending too much time on them. You can set it with options that allow you to visit those sites only during a certain hour/day/etc. or just block them completely if you want.
http://www.proginosko.com/leechblock.html

I set up my internet.

Just shaved my beard. It feels pretty empty now, I miss it already. Oh well, I can always grow it again.

>>9925
It always frustrated me that my beard is damn thin and would never grow much past 1cm.
I've been for almost 6 months now without shaving, but it's like it's been 3 weeks.

I read The Shadow Over Innsmouth short story. Kinda creepy.

today my neighbor's loud car stereo woke me up early, then I torrented the new im@s and some hentai. now one of my father's friends is coming over so I'll be trapped in my room for a while ;_;

>>9906
Starting next week I'm going cold turkey on the use of computers for a month. I want to see how I do, so we'll see how that goes.

>>9963

That's probably my favorite of his. Maybe because I live in a fishing village.

Went to a hobby store and tabletop game store. That was interesting.

Woke up and my arms were numb, room was blazing hot and I was sore all over.
first thing I see is the lights I spent a hour or two the night before fell out of place and landed on my figs.
watched a bit of anime before trying my hand at fixing the lights, lucky no damage seems to have been done to the figures.
couldin't stand the heat anymore so I tryed closing the windows and front door to turn on the AC for a bit, but the front door, which is a sliding glass door, fell out of place as I was closing it.
fought with it a fair bit before getting pissed and tossing a small fit about how much I hate this house.
played some video games until my mom came home and gave me crap about the door.
after a lot more fighting with the door, and each other, we got it back into place (although I did most of the work.)
had lunch with some more anime, more videogames..
oh and cleaned up a little...

Today in my everlasting attempt to find a suitable job for me I decided working in the most remote place ever (because few people) would probably be a good idea, this place being Alert, Canada, a military base. So I wondered is the armed forces just retarded sign up to learn to shoot a gun crap, or can I forgo violence training and just kinda get a job. Turns out it doesn't matter because you need 5 references you've been in contact with for the last 5 years that aren't family... You know you're fucked when even the military doesn't want you.

Also I picked apples for my grandma.
And I started a dream diary

Today I played some video games, read up on some funny internet stuff, and downloaded half a gig of hentai gifs (all of the same girl). Pretty productive day so far, I'd say.

I forgot to set my alarm and I missed my computer class today because of it. Thankfully, all of the assignments are sent out online so I don't think I missed too much in that regard.

I also got word from my mother that my father plans to lecture me on how he thinks it's "ridiculous that I don't have a job yet" soon. Knowing him, it'll be the same as the last three I had to sit through.

Other than that, I spent the day playing Fallout:NV again.

>>10064
>I spent the day playing Fallout:NV again

You better be using loli mods!

Today, I spent a few hours playing SS13 and thinking about what lewd things I will get up to while my parents are out tonight

I was careless and practice a brass instrument for too long, didn't kept my eye on the clock as I usually do. The result was that I took out my mouthpiece to find blood dripping out of it, now my lip is completely cracked and has a cut back to front on the entire under lip, I can barely drink or eat anything without feeling it sting.

Woke up about 3:30 AM and been surffing the web on a off since then; it's about noon right now, but it's so clouded and rainy that it doesn't really shows. My mom went to the dentist (aunt and sister are working) so I'm home alone...

I decided to finally wash my Chamber for Butterfly Re-hydration (a.k.a. tupperware), and discovered it had fungi already. After giving it a good scrub, I went picking up my dog's feces outside and noticed that some of them were covered with a highly viscous and especially revolting mucus, wich origin on her diet I'm still trying to figure out (to never-ever let her eat that again). Then the garbage truck arrived and there I am carrying all the bags to it, when the driver told me: "Sorry bro, we don't pick that one [inorganic] today." ...wich I'm sure isn't correct, but whatever. As I got back to pick the correct one, I listened at the truck starting and going away so I left that alone; I opened our second trash container (to put the gathered trash in there) and SURPRISE! a very respectable swarm of mosquitoes flew direct to my face and spread all around; I yelled and cursed while I quickly closed it again; I went getting the insecticide from inside the house, closed the nearby windows, cover my mouth and nose with a scarf and my eyes with my protective plastic glasses, and then opened it again to fumigate the fuck out of it; after it was done, I proceeded to clean all around...

Suddenly, the postman called at the door. All eight packages that arrived this time were for my mom: insanely cheap jewellery from asian sellers at eBay, for sure.

My neighbors decided that they wanted to thoroughly enjoy their subwoofer at about 5 AM this morning, so after that died down I slept later than I normally would/should (10 AM).

I think nothing in the world makes me angrier than loud, unnecessary, human-caused noises interrupting my sleep or keeping me awake. I wonder what the best approach is to confronting that sort of thing.

I read a lot of Akiha's route in Tsukihime (not finished yet), played a little New Vegas and Minecraft, caught up with steins;gate, and re-watched my favourite episode of K-On!! (14).

>>10150
My neighbors are out in their car right now with their stereo up as loud as possible and have every door open. The other house next door is up for sale, and I think they were showing the house to some buyers today. If they keep this shit up the only people who would be willing to move into it will be other people who like to be as obnoxious as possible, and I will be surrounded by shit.

I was reading a few chapters of Vinland Saga, drinking a bottle of mead and listening to some songs about Germanic mythology (see file).
I also spent some time playing video games (New Vegas, Trusty Bell, Rachet&Clank). I also finally got around to watching the first two eps of Bakemonogatari, good show so far.

>>10150
>I think nothing in the world makes me angrier than loud, unnecessary, human-caused noises interrupting my sleep or keeping me awake.

This is every day for me, for more than two years now. I've become so neurotic about sleep, when I can and how much I get, and it's entirely due to hellish neighbors and military aircraft.

I'm a zombie almost all the time. I can't live without quiet. I feel like I'm a fool for remaining alive--it's not going to get better.

>>10150

Shoot them

I've been bummed out because 2 out of the 4 or so websites I visit regularly every day have been down for the last 2 days

The general board on Bunbunmaru got swiped!

http://bunbunmaru.com/wakaba/general/res/2.html

>>10200
Yeah, I saw that too. Oh well, now I can follow it from the (new) beginning!

>>10200
Wow, that sucks, what was their post count at?

>>10202
36000-something

How common is gift-trading nowadays? Is it common/expected for people to give friends things on their birthday? Or are young people just generally too broke for that?

>>10205
>Is it common/expected for people to give friends things on their birthday?
Yes

>>10205
If someone asks you why you didn't give them a birthday present or don't celebrate your own birthdays, just say that you're trying to be a good Christian and link them to http://www.thercg.org/articles/abcc.html

I found a pic (screencap really) that I thought would make the perfect avatar for steam, but then I saw someone somehow had the exact same picture as their avatar on a forum I lurk, and now I would feel weird for having it too.

today a cute kitten was on our doorstep most of the day, but my mom wouldnt let me and my dad have it because she hates animals ;_;

Went to the university after a full week recess. I hate that place.

>>10308
Hadn't go there for more than a few minutes per week (if any) for the last 2+ years. Feels good, man. But will end up bad, at this rate.

Had my first day of animation class today. Another four hours spent on bouncing balls. ಠ_ಠ

>>10314
Gotta crawl before you can walk, as they say..

stuff like that is why I dropped my animation class

>>10318
I'm not against doing it, as I learn new things every time. It just gets annoying.

Finnished Super Aleste (no, seriously, I hadn't done this yet) and translated most of the ending by myself.
I had to check another translation for 2 sentences because I'm not familiar with the passive form yet.

Finished giving a look at all first grade kanjis, anki and some reading work will do the rest of the job.
Got a Calculus test tomorrow too, I'm not yet sure whether I'll try to study or just give it up already. Probably the latter.

Yesterday I watched Troll 2. The hype was true: it really is the greatest movie of all time

>>10363
I fucking love that movie. I cannot think of a single bad thing to say about it.

>>9977
Well It's been about 20 or so days since I made this post, and since then I have accomplished vast amounts of absolutely nothing roughly equal to what I would have accomplished had I been on the internet the whole time. Maybe if I had found a job this break would have been more productive, but for the most part the internet and you guys in general are worthwhile places and people to spend my time with.

>>9449
was late and missed my first class; got some pop-tarts, when going home will probably get some harold's (local chicago chicken chain restaurant).

FReels bad man as I have 2 classes and feel like i will fail BOTH

>>10421
I've had similar results recently, I spent 11 days offline, I thought about stuff, came to some good conclusions about my thoughts, then today I started looking for a job online thinking I'd be able to now, but I just can't do it. But I feel better about it for some reason.

Though during those 11 days I watched 172 episodes of shows I had seen before, this is the first real marathon of any sort in a 7~ months. And I've realized that Welcome to the NHK isn't that good, I imagine my oppinion has changed greatly because when I first saw it I had been neet for like a year 1/2, but now it's been like 4-5 or something.

Also I didn't miss being online, so I suppose this could be a potential future reoccurance, not being online that is.

Today I tried to challenge my belief that a hot drink can't possibly taste good. After multiple failed attempts (hot chocolate milk, various flavours of tea) I decided I should try coffee. Black coffee wasn't particularly bad, but it didn't really taste good either, so I threw some sugar in. After that it became downright disgusting.

No hot drink can possibly taste good.

>a hot drink can't possibly taste good

wow, seriously?

black coffee is kind of an aquired taste, I think people mostly drink it because its apparently the cool and badass way to drink coffee.

>>10458
Yes, I've never drunk anything hot that I liked. I'm always open for suggestions though.

And I don't know about the badassness-factor of black coffee, but I thought it was better than with milk or sugar.

>>10457
Sugar and milk just ruin coffee, don't fall for it.
As for acquired taste, I could say the same for tea. I find it downright disgusting. Then again, I grew in a household where everyone drank coffee in the afternoon and mornings.

>>10458
>Cool or badass way to drink coffee
Well, sugar only adds a bad taste to coffee. It's like dropping caramel on ground beef. Not compatible at all.

>>10459
Not even hot apple cider?

In my experience "hot" is supposed to mean warm.
Warm drinks are always great, I suggest warm milk and honey, it will put you to bed nicely. Also warm chocolate milk.

I got so bored that I started playing TF2 again after several months hiatus. I topped the leaderboard 3 games in a row so I guess I still got it!

>>10466
If it's good coffee, I drink it black. If it's bad coffee that I just need in a fix, I put in milk and sugar to cover the taste.

I also like cappuccinos, the real kind, not that Starbucks shit people drink.

I played Fallout 2, took a shower, shaved my legs, played more Fallout 2.

Now I'm listening to crazy fuckers on shortwave and posting on tohno.

I started doing some programming(I'm not good), then I hit a snag, but I wasn't discouraged yet, so I went to stackoverflow to ask a question, but then it said I needed to login(you never used to need too), then I was discouraged, so I was going to send some feedback, but you need to login to do that too, so then I sent feedback through a fake email site pretending to be RMS, and I said it ruined my day.

creating accounts is such a nusiance(sp?).

I ate some pizza, played some more ss13, and discovered that Tommy Wiseau is doing Let's Play videos on youtube now.

Made eggs with some fancy-ish aged cheddar and bbq sauce for breakfast. Delicious.

I just took some piracetam and am going to study for exams.

Played some TF2 and downloaded an h-anime that required 10bit, so I finally updated my stuff. (easy as hell, no idea why people bitch about it)

I was going to sign up for a forum, but when I went to make a gmail for it (I have everything I do on separate email accounts) I found out you are now required to give them a phone number so they can call you and verify. I really should get a cell phone, since I don't want to give my parents number to people

>>10839

We are having my dad's birthday party today, and my brother wanted to show me pictures of some naked woman he knows. I really didn't want to look but he was starting to insult me so I did anyway. I hope my "oh yeah nice" acting was convincing

>>10858
>pictures of some naked woman he knows

So there is a woman who is categorically naked, and he happens to have pictures of her?
A joke!

Gonna start Minna no Nihongo tonight.

>>10858
Haha, thats funny.

Today I woke up too early, got frustrated with TF2, and found out the haruhi imageboard I frequent is dead

Woke up around 8 (too early), got a little stoned, watched Nip/Tuck for several hours, asked myself why I was watching Nip/Tuck, got a little more stoned, channel-surfed while listening to music, watched videos of Bukowski on Youtube (for some reason. Whatever, Bukowski's the man), came to /tc/, and here I am.

I've gotta find more entertaining things in my life. I'm bored as shit literally all the time. It's highly constricting.

Played go. That's it. I always seem to play better at night though, for some reason.

Also, I feel like murdering Deepak Chopra. That guy is so fucking annoying.

>>10924

You listen to Coast to Coast AM too?

11:00 -Woke up annoyed at myself for sleeping in
-Drank coffee
-looked at strange things online
-fapped
-looked at the B*RS petit nendoroid boxset ive had unopened in my room for the past 6 months contemplating wether to sell it or open it.
-about to read A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

I played Dance Dance Revolution 2 days ago at an arcade. DDR X2 and X for a few hours. I also ate some VERY GOOD chinese food at a restaurant with my mother and grandmother. It makes my mother's fucking meddling easier to deal with (blah blah blah its too hot or cold to wear x garment or it is "weird" or "stupid". I do not give much of a shit about that. If I can take public transport in a large city without these problems, fuck it.).

...and I turn 21 in a month. November. Well I am thinking of just drinking some slcoholic beverage at a Japanese pub in my city (Izayaka). Apparently they have animu-themed shit there. Probably there by myself or with other people. I'll get a chance to dress up and try out those new 'formal' clothes and formal hat like a Fedora or some shit.

>>10944
Yes, im decent at DDR. At most i can pass level 11/12 (out of 20) songs. And they had the opening to My railgun on X2, a new song. Fuck yeah (X and X2 can be hooked up to the web so you get updates like that)

Today I noticed a little puppy in a witch hat on the pixiv logo, which hopefully means some new halloween-themed waifu pictures soon. I also found out that Scare Tactics is still on the air, which is awesome because I thought it was cancelled for some reason

Fun. There was a street preacher on my bus today. But I managed to get a commuter rail train to honk its horn for me by using the same signal used by people when they try to get truckers in the US TO honk their horns. And it was night too so he noticed it then. Nice.

Whats the signal?

Today, my neighbors crashed their car into another neighbor's house. They crashed the car because the cops were chasing them, because they had just robbed someone's house. I need to get out of here

Today I made my first CV/resume/whatever you call it in your country, also my first real experience with LaTeX.
Work sounds like a pain in the ass, but hopefully not more than the university is.

>>10961
My resume would be really easy to make: a blank paper with my name on it. Perhaps in comic sans so they will know i mean business

Some guy has been ITGing me on another forum threaatening to 'kill me and my nigger pack' and generally being a little bitch. I pointed out I had access to an assault rifle and ammunition and we ITGed each other and I did the classic 'give him the address to wrigley field' trick from the blues brothers. Another poster just told me to delete his posts or ignore them. What a shitty forum that place is.

>>10966
WTF is ITG?

Woke up and was greeted by a nice big CHKDSK screen for my 2TB anime drive. I changed the SATA cable, but still HD Tune says it's fucked. A shame really, I only bought it in September. I spent the day making sure I had everything backed up correctly with valid CRCs to my two 1TB drives. Then I made a list of what drive each show is on. I'll need to find out how to get the 2TB replaced. Until then, I'll be nervous as shit with my whole anime collection sitting without a backup. I'm only going to plug them when I really need to, via a USB SATA dock, just to minimize any chance of them failing. If either of these drives fail, I don't know what i'll do.

Spent the rest of the day playing Left 4 Dead 2. I got an urge to play it for some reason. It's a decent way to burn a few hours. Now i'm going to catch up on a few eps of this seasons anime, then i'll be off to bed.

>>10968
>USB SATA dock

This is pretty much how my previous hard drive got his retirement last week and became an external disk, after a heavy box fell over my laptop, apparently ruining all access to the OS so I had to replace both (hard disk and OS source).

All my stuff is "safe" in there, thought; but even after reinstalling and importing files, I don't think most of my progress on a few VNs I had been neglecting can be restored... Meh, at this point.

Today I grabbed a pair of scissors and hacked off most of my previously shoulder-length hair. I feel a lot better because of it.

Now I'm just drinking some coffee and trying to catch up on Penguindrum.

>>10967
ITG = Internat Tough Guy

>>10987
aka "Keyboard Warrior"

meant INTERNET Tough Guy

Picked up my two youngest sisters from school, dropped my oldest sister off at class. Nearly got sideswiped by a F-150 on the way home. Tripped over a rock while walking my dog and ripped a hole in the right leg of my favorite pair of pants.

A fairly boring day with some disappointments.

I was going to play the new Batman game, but the rental place didn't have any copies. The ONE time I actually want to play something on my xbox and I can't ;_;

>>11007
why not play it on another system, like pc?

>>11008
It's not out on PC yet

I went to a local "dead mall" that was almost completely bereft of stores and shoppers. A lovely place to buy a coat.

I watched paranormal activity 2 last night and it was boring as shit. Why do people love these movies so much?

>>11055
The Paranormal Activity movies are meant to be seen in a theater with a big audience. That's why every trailer is just showing people's reactions to them.

>>11056
I don't see what that would add, unless you all go mst3k and mock how stupid it is

>>11007
The rental place had one today! ( ´∀`)

>>11057
When I saw Black Swan, there was this annoying black guy that would yell out stupid things like AW MAN THIS IS SOME EXISTENTIAL SHIT at inopportune moments. He totally ruined some parts of the movie, but he would have been the perfect person to have for Paranormal Activity.

My parents are going out tonight and I'm going to be home alone (as often happens on saturdays), and I remembered that tonight might be the night my neighborhood does halloween because real halloween is a school night. I hope the house doesn't get vandalized or something while I'm here alone ;_;

Today I found out someone had stolen my xbox live account within the last year or so I haven't played it. I have no idea how. Even though microsoft is fixing it and I don't even give a shit about my xbox anymore anyway, I still feel shaken up by it since I've never had my privacy invaded like that before

>>11238
Oh, this is probably it

http://www.tgdaily.com/games-and-entertainment-brief/59089-xbox-live-accounts-hacked-by-fifa-fans

I feel better about it now, knowing that it wasn't something I did. I guess microsoft is getting a taste of what sony got earlier in the year

Last night I felt an earthquake for the first time. It's such a strange feeling

I went grocery shopping in the morning. Then, I got a call from a friend telling me there was an opening where he works, so I put in an application. After that I went for a bike ride, and while I was stopped at a light, some high school girls tried to get me to go to some concert or event or something. After I make lunch, I'll read the news for a while. I'll finish up the day by meeting with a classmate and doing some make-up labs for a class.

>>11297
I just had another one! This one was much more powerful and cracked our driveway. What's pathetic is I was on my computer at the time (of course) and I was thinking "oh Haruhi I hope this shaking doesn't mess it up somehow"

I woke up and played Aion until I had to go to work. I had a pretty shitty night because I badly screwed up on the job. Basically I messed up three deliveries practically at once.

I hate having to work, but I can't rely on government handouts because I simply can't get in on them at the moment. My parents would most likely interfere with the process.

>>11302
and another one. I'm pretty sure something wants me dead

>>11302
what do you mean by, 'it'?

>>11377
computer. shaking messing up the fans and such

I got bored and looked up my high school music teacher (the best teacher I ever had) and found out he had a child last year. That's really nice, because I remember his wife being pregnant when I was in school but they lost it.

Woke up, watched the trailer for Kyosogiga three times in a row, played Nocturne for a little while. Had a bagel (I fucking -love- bagels, however, I'm out of them now. Fuck.). Listened to 'This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About' again. About to go make lunch and maybe settle in to one of the few series I've got saved on my PS3. Of course, I should download something new...Thinking of picking up Bento, maybe. It seems very cute and weird. And Fate/Zero, because Type-Moon. And guns + magic, that idea always fascinated me.
I'd have to catch up like a motherfucker, though.

Currently debating hooking up my old, old PC, just for the hell of it. Plus, all my emulators/music/anime/writing is on there, and I can't do without my music...I dunno, though, lots of work for little reward. Have to clear a space for it and all...

Just went to the (drugstore's free) doctor. Apparently I catched an UTI: for the past couple hours it's been like dripping razorblades every 2 minutes. I was told not to drink any soda or coffee for a while... it wouldn't be a problem at all, if I wasn't fueled by Redbull.

>>11395

Fate/Zero is awesome so far, easily my anime of the year if it keeps up its current quality.

I turned on my dead wii for the first time in a while to see if it would magically start up, and it did. Only, all it did was display a screen that said something like "system files are corrupted" and parts of the letters were missing. Kind of spooky

It was all a methaphor for your life

>>11426
That...that actually makes sense

Played Aion in between the times I had to go out to pick up my sisters from school/drop them off at class. I then spent an hour and a half navigating Maryland's traffic clogged highways during rush hour to go see a showing of a Miku concert in a theater in one of Baltimore's suburbs. The concert itself was glorious, the other people at the showing not so much, for obvious reasons.

I think I would've been better off watching a rip of it on my computer.

I made a formspring account. Feel free to ask questions: http://www.formspring.me/tohnochan

>>11441
having it named tohnochan is pretty misleading if you aren't involved with the site

>>11438
After many tries in enjoying concerts I came to the same conclusion.
Sure it has disavantages, but not being in a crowded place and being able to control the volume are divine.

>>11441
>tohnochan hasn't smiled at anything yet. Write a response that makes them smile!

I thought this was cute.

Reworked my whole Anki deck for kanji/words.
Cut the number of cards by half and now I'll only be required to remember how to read and type the kanji.

I fixed our back screen door today. Two screws had fallen out of it a while ago, so I just screwed em back in and tightened the other ones. It was a ridiculously small and easy thing, but it always makes me feel better to do something for my parents

Got into Warband again. And thus all the day was spent.

I lied to my grandmother that I was doing well in school. I dropped out a month ago ;_;

>>11575
Thanksgiving is coming up, so I imagine a lot of us will be lying to family or giving the patented "oh not much..." line when someone asks what we have been doing.

Tried to find NEET friendly housing.
moderate success,
http://www.tumbleweedhouses.com/

>>11576
I managed to get out of my Thanksgiving obligation this year. Told everyone I'm going to dinner with a friend's (!) family. The truth is I'll just leave the house and go to a bookstore for 4 or 5 hours and read and drink coffee.

It'll probably just be my mother, my uncle, and me at Thanksgiving, so I could manage to accompany them at the table.

It'd be a little more difficult if another were to join, however. Especially a stranger (to me)... I wouldn't be able to handle that.

>>11576

Ah, thank haruhi I'm from the UK and don't have to worry about Thanksgiving. Seems like a hellish event.

I told my dad jokingly (mostly, anyway) that I didn't want to have thanksgiving and he got really mad at me. It's like his contempt for me is always bubbling right under the surface

I looked at the blog for that super deep throat game (like I do every once in a while) and the realization that I have spent a year of my life following a blog about a throat rape flash game hit me

>>11637

Either way that's probably better than spending half a year (actually much more) developing a throat rape flash game.

Reinstalled Morrowind because of all the talk about TES lately.
Then, most of the day was spent messing with mods, load orders, leisurely collecting mushrooms, walking around Vivec and reading about lore.

Downside is I haven't done shit and the waifu must be mad for I had disappeared the whole day.

I broke even on my utorrent ratio for the first time since I got it on this computer.
Now to work on pushing that bakabt ratio up from .4 (Which, with the few torrents I already have and the amount of leechers on this Sailor Moon torrent, shouldn't be too far off)

>>11239
I got my account back, but they didn't say how it got compromised (because they want to pretend they weren't hacked). Gonna cancel that account whenever the refunded money shows up in a statement, and they gave me a code for a free month so I will use that if there's ever an online console game I just NEED to play

Today I was psuedo-productive. I was going to fix the good PC that broke 1/2 a year ago. First I needed a harddrive to install the OS on, so I began to delete stuff off of one on my own shitty PC to make room for the OS for the new PC, then I made a partition. The previous harddrive still has save-able data on it, which others in my family may want that would need to be dumped to large HDD which I don't have, so I can't use it. But the HDD I deleted stuff off of is IDE an the good PC only has SATA... my mission was aborted.

It seems like every endeaver I make is hampered by the fact that I have no money, and everything I can do to aquire money doesn't need to be done and counter-productive to a society worth being a part of. So be a slave(job), fix PC, be miserable and shamed or do the best I can with broken equipment, and continue to be miserable and frustrated.

Things aren't going so well for me. Been trying to find work but with no luck, a certain someone in my family is getting pissed at me and doesn't believe that I've been turned down so much. Has basically flat out called me a liar behind my back and says he doesn't like me. Meanwhile he's given free reign to bitch about his life and always be right. Haruhi dammit life...

Went through my MAL finding what OVAs and specials I had missed. It turned out to be a really mediocre waste of time. Good specials are very rare.

My parents read some article about relieving anxiety, and they said I should take some herbal stuff. They also took the opportunity to say how frustrated my depression makes them, as if I'm just acting this way to mess with them or something. Like the whole last decade of my life has been some sort of Kaufmanesque joke at their expense

I've managed to download 70 something songs from this obscure spanish singer for my uncle's wife.

I don't want to check everything over and see if it's tagged correctly since iTunes is dildos, but everything might more or less be tagged correctly.

I slept for most of December.

having just woken up on the 1st it should be clever, but it will probably hold true on the 31st as well!

>>11746

A funny story to go with this: My sister is sick with strep throat (which happens every few months for some reason) and yet she still comes over every day. I told her I didn't want her to make me sick again, and she said it wouldn't even matter if she made me sick because I do nothing anyway. My parents acted like I was stupid for being offended by that statement.

The very people who tell me they care so much about me openly acknowledge that I am so worthless my health is entirely unimportant.

I finally stopped being lazy and got a way to make gifs again.
First time use? Removing that homosexual from this scene.

>>11750
I thought that was just my family, but I'm seeing increasing snark reports from people with families.

If we wanted to be shit on we'd be outside.

I updated my external with all the new pictures and anime I've downloaded the last few months, then got accused of taking my mom's doctor appointment card. Why on earth would I even take such a thing

got a flu shot (my arm hurts ;_;), got a christmas tree, and against my better judgement tried to eat a half pound reeses cup. I got halfway through it before I felt like I needed to puke

>>11829
>my external
Just found out mine is dead. I knew it was just a matter of time, but still: dammit.

I have began my quest to master the keyboard layout Dvorak. It's a bitch.

I decided to try making some tea using this thing today. As expected, it sucks. Back to boiling my water before having tea.

I've been watching this

http://www.twitch.tv/siglemic


Some guys are trying to beat the SM64 120 stars world record. It's not streaming right now but iirc last night they said they were only off by like 40 seconds on their closest attempt.

>>11934
speed runners are insane. The record for banjo-kazooie is like 2:45, that game took me like 30+ hours to beat the first time.

>>11933
Cool! I just bought one of those last week and the K-cups seem to make good flavored coffee, so if you like that sort of stuff maybe give those a try, get your money's worth and whatnot.

>>11934
Aw man, he was just 40 stars in and making good time when an eyeball guy wouldn't track him and ruined everything, making him start ALL OVER. just watching this is gonna give me an ulcer

>>11934
Thank you for posting this. I'll now be watching this.

This guy is pretty amazing.

>>11946
Here's a video of the current world record

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqlbfyFEpdI

It's fun to synch them up and see just how close it can be

Downloading episodes 5-10 of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon. This series is so damn fun. It's a very in-depth show. It's as though it is it's own little world in itself. You can really get lost in it. I love that.

Other than that, nothing's gonna be going down today. Might try and read a bit of Hamlet. Been getting an itch to do that. Or maybe Cross Channel. Downloaded that days ago, and I told myself that I'd do it up this weekend, but do it up, I did not, as most of the weekend was spent asleep/watching Horizon. Hmm...

It's odd to think we're this deep into the year already. Already at the end, pretty much. Just 12 (?) days until the new year.

I found frozen cherries in an unlikely (small) store, so now I can make cherry jam as a Christmas present for mai waifu.

Finally went to the gym after a hiatus. Real strong guy asked me to spot him. I was specifically told to "spot at the elbows". I've only ever helped with the weights with my dad. As I knew I would, I panicked from worrying about doing it wrong, lifting one side of both dumb bells. Thankfully they weren't unbalanced too much so he didn't get hurt. I felt like an idiot and left early. Should've kept my headphones on.

Technically yesterday.

I don't remember at all. It's really strange, how it just flew by. Oh, I watched a few episodes of Portlandia (too hipster-y for me, but still fun, in a sense) and Samurai Champloo. And then I topped off Horizon (all caught up now~), and tried to play Cross Channel, but couldn't focus...Then I made the definitive list of my top 10 albums (for this week anyway). Listened to a lot of music I haven't listened to in forever. Now I'm going to rewatch my waifu's series and try and sleep, but will undoubtedly fail until later this morning.

You're in a weird place when recalling the day becomes akin to recalling dreams.

I'm thirsty.

Woke up, had a tea, made a ham sandwich, had another tea and a mandarin orange, then napped. Hopefully gonna finish Idolm@ster soon. I seem to put off finishing shows I like, as if I can't stand for them to end at all.

I've found a new hobby, old time radio. As in radio shows, the internet archive has a bunch, I listened to a few episodes of a series called "2000 plus" it was sci-fi and BBCs production of "The Fountain" (6 hours yesterday, 2 today), and now I am on to a detective series named "Phyl Coe," the thing is that it doesn't tell you who did it, as you are supposed to phone in and it is a radio contest, but I guess I am 70 years too late. So I'll never know the truth...

>>12018
Old time radio is good

On the topic of radio, I had my shortwave radio on tonight and was listening to some real cool 1950s jazz music from Africa. Shortwave is real cool, you can pick up so much interesting and often mysterious stuff (not just cryptic number stations, but weird pirate radios, propaganda stations, and other oddities).

Sounds cool. How does one acquire a shortwave radio? Can you modify a regular radio set or something?

>>12077
These are, from my tiny understanding, shortwave radios you can use online.

http://www.chilton.com/radio/others.html

Realized how retarded I am at cooking when my green tea ice cream didn't even turn out green. It's probably going to taste like a shitty popsicle.

>>12077

You'd have to buy one, and make a nice big antenna out of some cheap copper wire.

There are some online though too, but I don't know if you can actually tune them. Maybe you can though.

I remembered my love for photography taking part in a thread about the /a/ christmas collage on /jp/ at that...
I can't wait to have a stable job and home so I can get a new camera.

>>11937
Yeah, using the K-cups to make the tea works well. However, using the thing to boil your water for regular tea doesn't really work well.

I love Baka-Tsuki. They did the Kara no Kyoukai LN's and are working on the Horizon series (Haruhi save their souls).

Today I woke up around 4:30 PM. I ate and have some talking with my family, after wich I went back to my room; I had plans about doing some stuff today (I should be doing some stuff), but all I did was just fap and lurk random stuff online in-between. Normally I wouldn't mind; but considering I've been awake for 7 hours, that I took around 2-5 min's to come and that I've faped at an average ratio of 40 minutes between each session... I think I've been faping a lot.

I spent the last seven to eight hours playing corruption of champions. The final orgasm wasn't as great as it should have been given the investment. It's been a long time since I've done something like this though. Back in eight grade or so, I remember finding about about the monzetsu series, and going through all 200 pages of each book to cum just at the end of it. That took around an hour or for each I believe.

I found this. What the

Im judging for a debate tournament at a high school in the "inner city" (mainly black & hispanic students). It reminds me of when I was in high school, only my HS had more white people there (people from the locsl irish ghetto). People are okay and all that. Im judging because A. I liked the debate team when I was in it (discussed anime, chan shit and whatnot when in there) and B. because I get paid a little for it (i.e. half-assed job)

I decided to check the history of the computer im posting on at the school's library, and there's manga in the computer's hsitory (mangafox.com). Ahhhhh.....I remember when I was in high school and a bunch of people there were reading manga off manga sites (of all races but mainly black people).

BTW I am black.

I dunno, it remind me of the past. Not in a 'good' or 'bad' manner, just as a long-lost past (been 4 years since I was in HS - and people think I am a student here haha)

>>12301
I want to visit my old high school, just to raid the utility room one last time. Maybe get some projector bulbs and craft paper.

I noticed that my right arm (my masturbation arm) is significantly stronger than my left. It feels much bigger, and on closer inspection, it is actually a few centimetres wider and a good 2cm taller.

I think I'll need to get used to using my left hand for a while.

i found out this guy is cooler than i'll ever be

note that i am being sarcastic, and have no idea who half of these people even are. but still, how the hell does somebody meet so many "important" people like that

I finally decided to start cleaning my room. I took some photos afterwards.

>>12388
And this is the stuff I had to throw away. I'm not ready yet to let go the rest of my things, so the bags in the previous photo will have to stay.

>>12389
What was all those things in the bag? Just trash bags accumulated?

That's a lot of trash anon..

>>12372
Thats only a little odd if you're right handed. My right forearm is half a centremetre longer than the other.

I set up a wiki on my server last night. Probably nothing interesting will ever go on it, but oh well... I also got an interesting book on Japanese mythology. Looking forward to a good read.

>>12400
Hey, Archduke.

I realized how I basically rendered myself incapable of typing on anything besides my humble laptop by switching to the Dvorak keyboard layout, which NO ONE has even heard of. No regrets, just some minor grumbles. Dvorak is very comfortable.

helped my dad install lighting fixtures in a store, carrying heavy lights and climbing ladders to attach them to the ceiling is grueling work. Even though you end up covered in dust and paint it feels more rewarding when you see the results of your work.

I have a lot of respect for people who work manual labor, it is much different then sitting in a warm office somewhere.

>>12410
How difficult was the transition? I've thought about switching myself but I don't know if I can stand the frustration of having to look for the keys.

My father was asking me what channel was the "western" channel, and I told him I had no idea because I don't get any channels over 63. He was shocked, and asked why I don't get a DVR box and more channels like they do and I tell him it would be a waste of money because I don't even watch TV for the most part, because I'm always on my computer. He asks how can I spend so much time on it and what I am doing (not in an accusing way, in a shocked way), and I simply tell him I do "all kinds of things" because I can't really tell him I watch japanese little girl cartoons and read video game forums (despite barely even caring about games anymore) all day.

>>12458
It wasn't as difficult as you'd think. After around a little more than a month of casual practice I'm at 39 words per minute, though I still feel more comfortable looking down at the keyboard than I do at the screen; not to say I can't type that way. So long as you get a program to help you practice and avoid QWERTY like the plague, it'll be relatively easy. Though in the beginning you'll either have to use an onscreen keyboard to see where everything is or lift your hands up, and this will be a minor annoyance. Just keep in mind that the prize is worth it!

Here's the program I use: http://macinmind.com/?area=app&app=masterkey&pg=download. Despite the site name, there's a Windows download as well. It's very nice: shows you how to position your hands and reach the keys and has various exercises ranging from single letters to a computer generated story.

My "friend" has stolen my first song I was working on. I gave him a copy to work with and bring back to me. So he would have possession of the updated version, the version I would go over and use to move forward with him. I need him because I know what I want the song to not sound like, but I don't have the skill to make it happen That was a month ago; he agreed to have it back to me after a week. I have repeatedly told him to bring me the song and he refuses. I don't know anyone else that can play drums and bass. And I can't go on by myself because I don't know a single thing about music.

I don't even know why he would want to keep it for himself, let alone refuse to give me a copy. It wasn't that good. I wouldn't even care - I gave up on trying to get into music a while ago - if not for the fact that I promised my waifu I would make her a song and dammit that was my first step towards that goal.

>>12527
>[asked someone to play drums and bass sections for his song].
Been there...

Maybe he simply hasn't worked (enough) on it, wich is why he's avoiding the subject (if I understood corretly). By all means: unless they are serious producers who dedicate themselves to do that, or some fellow men you're together within a project (like a band), I wouldn't entrust other people for completing a song that I expect to rest as the author of; not that much because they might steal it, but because most people just don't compromise enough when doing things as a favor... and I'm sure you have the greatest expectations for that particular song.

Having one of those things where I can't/won't sleep. Just been happening lately, and I have no clue why. It's sort of pathetic that I'm as bothered as I am by it, though - Mainly because I really have nowhere to go in the daytime, and I can sit around swat around imaginary flies whenever the hell I want for as long as I want. It just sucks pretty hard when your body doen't listen to your mind.

Time for some Kara no Kyoukai and maybe Taxi Driver. That usually does the trick.

It snowed, though. I am very happy it finally snowed. Winter has a tranquility to it I can't do without.

>>12527
Just make a better song~! Ten times better. That'll shove a dick in his mouth.

I ate a super chocolatey muffin and I've almost felt sick from it. I've also felt really sad and tired today for reasons I'm not even sure of

woke up at 1 in the afternoon and downloaded some lewd game CGs that I've been looking forward to

I'm at a restaurant aone today (Big Bowl in dowtown chicago) eating food here. Got the teriyaki. Shrimp fried rice. I say brohnos should eat here if they can overcome social anxiety. I ate here before, some elientele can be faggots but that's it....food is good (also kindve expensive)

My grandparents live in Chicago

I quite like that city, but I don't get to visit very often

i made this video today
and i am proud of it

I just realised that instead of wasting countless hours clicking around various websites and blogs I can just use a RSS feed catcher and save myself a lot of time.

thought about opening up my computer and airdusting it out for the first time in a year and a half, but my fear of fucking something up somehow made me not do it. now i'm afraid if i don't do it, something bad will happen

>>12562
Fucking things up is harder than it seems at first. The only time I managed to do it was when I was desperate for the poor thing was overheating and tried messing with the CPU fan without properly disconnecting all cables from the case.
I don't even know how my GPU hasn't crashed yet seeming how clumsily I handle it whenever I clean it up.

>>12562
Just do it, it's really hard to knock anything around. If you knock a plug out, it's very easy to find where it goes again, anyway.

Also, as well as air dusting, make sure the fan areas on your PC are open to the entire room. I used to have mine almost against the wall, but once I sucked the dust out and rotated it like so I shaved off about 10 degrees from all temperatures, half that for the GPU. Using Dolphin still puts my cores above their max temperatures though, which is disappointing because there are quite a few Wii and Gamecube games I'd like to try. Oh well, at least modern games and PCSX2 work fine.

>>12564
>The only time I managed to do it was when I was desperate for the poor thing was overheating and tried messing with the CPU fan without properly disconnecting all cables from the case.

How did that mess it up?

>>12566
I don't know, I just think it had something to do with that(notice that what I mean is that the computer itself was still plugged to the outlet, I had only turned off the PSU).
Maybe I discharged something into it, as I don't have those fancy wristbands and ended up touching the cooler's metallic heat sink, the motherboard itself and all that.

>>12567
Oh. That's why if I clean my computer I'm going to do so in the kitchen, on a wooden table (and touch the faucet to ground myself). No static!

I masturbated in an attempt to distract myself from the fact that the world is lacking in anything that matters. It didn't work like it did yesterday when I kinda went numb to it.

>>12568
Yup. It's what I usually do, but as I said, I was particularly panicked and tired from unplugging the whole computer just to adjust the fan all the time and ended up doing everything wrong.

Well, tl;dr lack of patience is what usually fuck things up

I turned 21 today, the most eventful thing that happened today was my grandmother calling me to wish me a happy birthday before bragging about how nice the weather in Florida is. I also had a nice dinner with my family but that was pretty mellow and boring.

Today I finally decided to play Neptune after picking it up and dropping it multiple times in the past.

>>12571

Happy birthday Rostnyan~

I can't see myself ever being that old! I'll be a little girl forever.

Happy birthday, man. Keep holding on.

I've been looking through the Animal Crossing wiki and remembering how happy I was back then. Getting home from school and firing up the gamecube version, looking forward to events and such (never cheating with the clock, that's for losers!). My life was so much better back then

Joined the Tribes: Ascend beta. I haven't played anything online in years. It's very refreshing to have something I can keep coming back to rather than constantly having to find something new.

thanks. Maybe we can meet some day....

I finally sorted my hentai by type and series. I have a lot less trap material than I thought I did

>>12564
In hindsight, I admit to having committed some serious crimes on my hardware. In fact I do it all the time. It's true that it's harder than you'd think to mess shit up. I've done some crazy things that by logic should've been lethal, but none of my hardware failures have been related to my rough treatment of it - as far as I know.

Last day was spent practicing c++. This one will too.

Been trying to connect my old gameport joystick to my win7 PC all day to no avail.
Guess I'll just have to give up on my childhood controllers and buy a couple of cheap usb ones.

Attented my grandmother's funeral yesterday, the coffin was quite heavy so my hands hurt from carrying it. I have been also working on finishing few assignments (around 6000 words) and finally submitted them today, no idea if they even qualify as passing. I barely slept during the week in order to finish them.

I planned to revard myself by watching some anime or playing some games or doing something I like. When I started to search for something to do, I realised there was nothing I'd like to read, watch or play even when my log is full of material I've planned to take a look at. Hopefully its just some phase.

Went with my mom to get this older gentlemen's will officially signed over to us in the morning.
found out there, that they require the person to have at least two friends to act as witnesses, but who aren't in the will.
I found this rather offenice and asked them if that meant a person with no friends wouldn't be able to register an official will, she didn't say it but seems such people are shit out luck.
it also bothered me, becuase it means, if you only have two friends, and you want to put one in the will, not only would that second one not be enough people to act as a witness, but you have to leave that or any other friends completely out of your will in order for you to sign off on the other friend getting your stuff, nice huh?

latter I repaired a pair of broken headphones of mine, by cutting off the end and soldering on a new jack.
was kind of proud of myself for actually managing to pull it off.
I had expected to just make them worse.

>>12625
>When I started to search for something to do, I realised there was nothing I'd like to read, watch or play even when my log is full of material I've planned to take a look at.
I've felt like this for about a year now. Sometimes you've got to just take a shot in the dark and download a random show. That's what I've been doing.

>>12651
theres a similar thing with getting a passport, at least where I live. you need people to vouch for you and they cant be relatives.

I think you can use a jp (justice of the peace) for that kind of thing. 'Friend' just really means someone whos not related to you by blood or marriage.

I attempted to sort out my pic folder
after sorting 3000 images i sort of just gave up.

I woke up today with a priapism. I sucked it up and waited a few hours to see if it would go away, but it didn't, it only started hurting more and more and more.

Let's fast forward to the hospital.

I finally caved in and went, hiding it under my XXL jacket as I did. Telling them was hard enough, but it seemed that the receptionist didn't even know what it was! So they send me back to a triage nurse and after talking with her about it, and getting things ready for a room in the back, she says "Hey, you don't need to be embarrassed, you aren't the first guy to come here with this problem." YOU AREN'T FUCKING HELPING!

Fast forward to my room.

The doctor comes in, talking about random shit that I don't remember. He then moves the blanket to see how its doing, then says some medical stuff to the nurse and walks off. The nurse puts in an IV and then also walks off.

About 20 minutes later he walks in and says "Hey, what we are going to do is stick a needle right in the middle of your penis and inject something that should help relieve it." On the way out "OH, and there are a few doctors around here that want to watch this get done. They've never seen it, and this is a rare chance for them. Ok, we'll be back in a minute." I could only laugh bitterly after he left and wait for the group to come back.

Well, come back they did. An Asian male, a short Asian female, a white female doctor, and a while male doctor, in addition to my doctor that's doing the procedure.

Well, things go fine. Painful(They had to stick three needles in three different times to get it), but fine. Afterwards, they give me a sedative(Adavan?), which barely touched me, so they gave me another one in pill form this time, which still barely touched me, but now I could walk out(Slowly) with my head held high and my other head dead in my pants.

In conclusion; FUCK TRAZADONE. And fuck the doctors that repeatedly prescribed it to me.

Well, shit happens.

>>12676
so was the trazodone at fault for your priapism?

>>12677
Yeah.

I overheard the doctors talking about how all the priapism cases lately have been trazadone based, which means there might be a recall if something serious happens and someone sues.

I'm done with it though. As soon as I got back, before taking anything off even, I grabbed the pill bottle, opened the window, and threw it as far as I could. We live on the 11th floor, I should add, and it's snowing out there. It's someone else's problem now.

>>12678
I weaned myself off antidepressants a long while ago, sometimes I'm grateful I did sometimes I regret it im not really sure anymore.

>>12676
>OH, and there are a few doctors around here that want to watch this get done. They've never seen it, and this is a rare chance for them

I've had this shit happen at the dentist before because of my tongue.

I've been watching some of the Mr. Plinkett reviews. The one for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull really opened my eyes and made me realize things I hadn't even noticed when I watched it myself.

Indy only directly murders one guy in it! Barely even an Indiana Jones movie

First article from googling Trazodone and priapism is an article about a guy who had to have his penis amputated.

Today I presented the three movements of the seventh piano sonata of Haydn to a considerable audience.

Today I found a worm inside a piece of bread, just after I finished eating the second piece.
After that I bit my lip and a huge amount of blood came out even though it almost didn't hurt.

>>12755
Were you nervous?

Al I did today was build a cocoon around my computer; I'm never leaving this place again!

I finally fixed my Haruhidamn internet video crashing problem that's been plaguing me for months. At least, I think I did. Oh Haruhi please be fixed

Nope, I was wrong. Not fixed. Kill me

>>12776
what exactly is the problem?

>>12778
After watching a video for a while (usually 5-10 minutes), the video freezes and my browser (firefox) stops responding and I have to kill it through the task manager. I've tried reinstalling my flash player, disabling all plugins, and every other suggestion I could find, but nothing has fixed it. I'm thinking of just switching to chrome

>>12779
Did you try clearing the cache? not with tools like CCleaner, but directly on Firefox:

Tools --> Options --> Advanced --> Network, Clear Now button.

Also delete those streaming sites cookies (or even all your recent history):
Tools --> Options --> Privacy [select an option]

>>12780
Hadn't tried the first one, I'll do that tomorrow when I'm feeling more up to messing with things

OMG: it's febraury, already; I only have 13+ days to finish mai waifu's present... I should get mai ass to work on it.

I forced myself out of bed at 7 AM today. For some reason the day seems longer this way. My goal is to eventually get used to waking up before the sun comes up.

>>12793
I wake up at 3AM nowadayyd
Noteven sure how my sleeping pattern ended up like that

>>12782
Nope, that didn't work either. I guess I'll just have to accept it.

I realized I'm never gonna understand the jokes in those animes full of references. So from today on, I'm gonna force myself to watch super sentai shows and increase my power level.
Maybe I'll start liking them in the process, you never know.

I was walking my dog just now and two stray cats decided to follow me all the way home, but unfortunately, I can't afford any more pets. A dog and a cockatiel are already expensive enough when you're poor and jobless.

>>12825

If you haven't, watch the first 3 Gundam movies. They usually make at least one reference to that per show.

>>12828

You mean the 0079 compilation?
I watched the original series but I don't really remember that, or just never noticed.

Oh, I just noticed what you meant.
It feels really good when you get the reference to an old show, even if it's something everyone's already seen.

Yes. Entrance applauses are horribly frightening.

>>12825
I haven't watched anime the last two seasons because of stuff like that. It's such a hassle. Not only do I have to download and work with shitty encoding, search for torrents and organize folders, but now they want me to research to get a fucking joke? Might as well get a job and be compensated with money rather than a slight chuckle.

>>12833
What a hard life indeed. Watching anime. A wonder we don't crack from all the labor.

>>12834
I cracked a long time ago

>>12834
It comes off as something humorous, but through a simple time benefit analysis, sleep gives me more joy than watching anime at the time. Maybe that will change in the coming months, I'm not sure.

>>12836
You know what gives me great joy? Nothing, nothing at all. Not anymore at least. I remember a time where I enjoyed video-games and anime but those days are over now.

>>12837
I still get a jolt of joy when I see a really cute anime picture, but it doesn't last.

I had chest pains earlier, but they're gone now. It also happened to happen right after watching the new kill me baby. COINCIDENCE?!

Chicagofag who judged chicago urban debate leagues here.. I'm judging for a 'regional' group or urban dbate leagues from Chicago and some suburban stuff, though its mainly suburban public schools and far from all I think.

I oversaw a transfer of property this morning

These two people are getting divorced and splitting up their stuff, I had to make sure neither of them tried to keep anything, as well as stop them from taking eachother's heads off. The woman called the cops twice over disagreements pointlessly, I might add.

It was really, really ugly and unpleasent. The spite, the hate, the insults. Terrible. Stressful as fuck.

why

especially since he says it's chicago later in the post (twice). the guy really loves telling us hes from chicago for some reason

Today, for the first time ever, I got a virus alert. My MSE said it successfully stopped and got rid of it (it was in a sandbox anyway) but Haruhidamn I was scared for a moment.

MSE is one of the best anti-virus programs I've ever used.

I do too. In fact my computer getting a virus or otherwise fucking up is a pretty common thing in my nightmares

I haven't used an anti virus in almost 4 years.
My PC is still working fine, and I don't have to deal with annoying messages every 5 seconds.

I don't get messages at all. Then again I keep everything up to date so there's nothing for it to yell at me about

I laugh when my family uses internet explorer with dozens of toolbars installed and then complains about having viruses. When I tell them that I never have any viruses they think I'm some sort of computer wizard.

Force of habit. Does the -fag suffix really annoy brohnos that much?

Oh, also it seems like the other judges in the judge lobby were ignoring me or being assholish. There were some nice judges. Guess it can't be helped as most of them are students from a local uni and prolly knew each other earlier (Northwestern Uni). Also, insert jokes about the people who go there being assholes.

>>12921
So people can tell or i can explain context? Or just civic pride, I dunno.

It's really Haruhidamn stupid and makes you look like an idiot
