yeah, there's been some stuff that I didn't post in the general thread because it seemed too dumb and personal, I guess just because everyone stopped using it for that.
 

it's like irc is mandatory to being a real sw member ergo i'm not a real member

there was a period where I guess this was supposed to be the case, but it doesn't seem like it's true anymore. I dunno, I'm one of the people who don't use irc. there are apparently a lot of irc users who never post or look at the forums, too. they're like separate connected communities

since oblivion wont post here i'll post for him

 <obli> kraed:
 <obli> chocoboner:
 <obli> are you dada_?
 <obli> geodude:
 <obli> dajhail:
 <obli> whats your favourite anime

I hear all to cool kids talk in here.

I don't know if I just go on irc at the wrong times, but over the last few years or so I haven't really had the time to get on irc, and whenever I do, there is never anyone talking anyways, or they don't want to talk about anything other than animes or dumb k-pop

I am the type who is always logged on IRC, but never have anything to talk about. Sure I will talk at times, but I can never start a conversation that lasts more than two to three lines. I can only assume that the large majority of people who CAN talk on IRC have that very same problem.

Either that, or you know, bad timing. The impression I get is that a lot of IRC logs can simply boil down to:

Some User: Hey, "Specified User". Are you there?
*Specified user is logged on, but is afk and never responds*

SOME TIME LATER

Specified User: Hey, was here someone asking for me?
*Person asking is no longer there*

And to answer Oblivion's very important question: it is simply far too difficult to choose just one. Until they break down and finally make an anime adaptation of Firefly, I will never have a truly concrete answer to that question.

<ugh>

m.a.n.g.a.

i just got back from visiting Texas. will spare details also grand conclusions about that distant yet beautiful country since i mostly don't have any. i was too bowled over by the sense of an extremely vast, assured, self-contained, very physical-seeming culture beavering away in ways which were partly alien to me (city layouts etc) and partly unnervingly familiar (bright suburbs from blue velvet intro!) and felt like a blurry ghost wandering around this enormous construction kit world. it seemed like a place where it would be more than usually difficult to get some general picture of what was going on, like this huge sprawl of little microworlds just smeared across a chunk of land (hearing about places like Israel, TX aided this impression). i enjoyed it a lot and would like to go back there again or visit america in general.

i live just north of houston
 
i agree dont go there

i'd say the same but nobody should ever go to indiana ever

no one wants to tarnish their posting record

half the class skipped the day-long field trip and my professor looked really disappointed and sad. he also lagged behind a lot and used his umbrella as a cane and almost fell once and didn't finish his dinner and we ended up eating somewhere else because his favorite pub he always went to was gone and everyone flocked to a much younger and more hip professor. I never really liked him and I didn't try very hard in his class, but I kinda saw a different side of him today, I mean, besides the part where I was pitying him, which only started to happen towards the end because we're dumb self-centered college kids who are always trying to weasel out of doing anything we don't feel like doing. this is like gilmore girls chicken soup for the soul post I guess, but if I can stop thinking about baby's first diaper mess for a moment: I don't want to do any of that anymore, being too good for class assignments and disliking people for no good reason. I really thought I put all of that stuff far behind me, but I guess not! that shit's so immature, I can't believe I fell into it again. we should probably do something for him, not sure what? a thank-you card from the class?? it can't be too mushy, he's gruff and likes to bust peoples chops. I dunno, that's probably what I'll do.
