If we're still cool with each other despite the events, I can't see why we can't. It might be a while before I see her in person, though but when we do I'm sure we'll enjoy seeing each other again.

That's a good question. I've been thinking about trying to hook up with some people to go hiking with this summer. Ought to be an interesting endeavor. :\

I don't think I know anyone who'd be up for hiking but then again, those that I know aren't generally the going somewhere kind. Most they'll be doing is getting drunk and shit at parties.

I seem to remember that, vaguely. That was quite a few years back, right? (Keep in mind that I think '08 users are noobs still.) lol

Yeah, it was in 2009, I think.

I'd consider finding a girl here on NG and actually hooking up with her IRL nothing short of a miracle. That's why I think it so amazing that that's actually happened here, more than once.

After being here for so long, I can be sure that will never happen to me, haha. Still, the internet is a huge place so it's not the end of the world (or rather cyberspace) if you're not going to find someone here.

Ha, maybe I should start playing World of Warcraft? :P

And here I wonder what happened if I took the other path in the fork and got myself addicted to World of Warcraft instead of making flash animations. There was a certain point in my life when I could have been addicted to WoW but I managed to get out of it while I was ahead. Could I have met someone on there just like what happened to my sister? This kind of alternative reality is possible in a parallel universe somewhere. Yes, I'm the kind of fool that believes in sci-fi mumbo jumbo as that. ;D Anything is possible, you know?

It's just neat to meet somebody by chance in the digital world like that, like not on a dating site. I wish it would happen to me, dammit! (I've met some great people here, one of which I may actually meet someday, as we both live in the same state. Unfortunately, there's a dick between his legs.) SO CLOSE! lmao

Speaking of dating sites, I have been looking into them lately. I know I was cynical because it doesn't take much to pretend to be someone but you know what, it doesn't hurt to try. It's kinda like searching for a job on the internet. Chances are most of them are non-existent anyway but either you sit there and do nothing and earn nothing at all as a result OR, you could actually try and approach them and see what happens. The worst that would happen is hearing nothing in return or them simply saying they're not all that interested in you. The latter might be bad to hear but if they know so little about you anyway, it won't be such a huge loss. Just try again and find someone else.

You know, I've always feared that by attempting to talk to women and see if I could ask them out, I'd only be seen as some stalker or a sex predator but if you're gonna advertise yourself on dating websites and you're looking for a partner of whatever gender, clearly there's no stalking there if all you're gonna do is try and talk to them. A recent strong statement to myself is if I don't ask, I simply don't get. I just gotta make these attempts and see if they would be willing to see me. Sure, despite finding them on DATING SITES, I'm not expecting to go on a date straight away but we have to get to know each other first.

What I'd like to do first is talk to them a bit and see how things progress. Generally I'd like to see that we can speak to each other on Facebook for general contacts and Skype to have a video chat somewhere down the line. Video chat is easily the best way to prove that they're legit. When things look really good and we end up agreeing on a time and place to see each other, hopefully we can find a good public place to meet each other. Somewhere at a cafe or something would be most ideal since there'd be people around us. Neither would want to make a mess when others around you can witness the wrong actions. Depending where I may have to go for it, I would have to see about train travels and possibly stay at a hotel somewhere for one night. Money is required, yes but you gotta take some risks and see that it was worth it or not. If you're not gonna come out of your shell, you're not gonna get anywhere in life.

So yeah, online dating shouldn't be all that bad. I may not have much experience with it right now but it can't be all that bad. If I keep looking out, who knows what an amazing individual I can find!

Nah, it's all about the plushies.

Draw her in with the plushies, maybe she'll come to love the dragon in time. XP

She seems to want to steal them and then go back home. D:

Ehhhhhhhh....

Sorry, I didn't mean that to come of in that way. NG AND THE WI/HT FORUM (especially) WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT BAHAMUT. :O

Well, I may end up making my activity minimal but I'll have to check here every so often.

Hmm, the daily alts thing is something I still need to think whether I want to keep it going or not.

I could never deposit for alts the way you always have. (Hell, I can't even deposit for my main account.) I'd say pick an exp. milestone and retire them there -hell, level icons come and go with the redesigns, so it's not like that's a permanent solution.

I keep meaning to retire them at milestones but it's a matter of if I feel like keeping it going now.

Now if only she could start accepting all the compliments that I gave/give to her. We're still on speaking terms over there and even on text so that's a good thing. I did like how she said she likes that she can share her favourite activity with me (that being listening to a CD that she has). Maybe a relationship won't happen with her now but at least there are ways that I can still make her happy.

From what I've heard, you've handled the whole situation like a real man, when it would have been so easy to just get angry and lash out, or act like a total jerk. Give yourself props for that. :)

Seriously, I don't even know how I've managed to handle all of this. I thought just having to kiss her would have got me nervous but it didn't. I thought going out on a date would have had me anxious but I wasn't and while I had to deal with a downhill slope of the relationship and had me depressed for some of the time, there has yet to be a time where I've had myself crying. I even kept telling myself, "Don't worry a thing, just cry already. You're only human after all." It's not that I don't have any human emotions because if I didn't, why would I be sad over losing her? Maybe things were gradually going downhill as opposed to a sudden stop so perhaps I slowly dealt with my feelings that way, or maybe I just knew some things had to be done and I had to take my own actions. Even my mum is amazed how I've dealt with everything here and she of all people would have seen all the worst of me on the outside.

Wow, that's really disappointing... :( but now that I think about it... how on earth did you happen to know of the term "reach-around" if it wasn't for that movie? :P

And yeah, pretty much. :P

Ok, I'm glad we got that covered. ^^

Yeah, that would be very silly indeed. :P

Well, we've got Thanksgiving in November, so you could get married, then spend your wedding night passed out on the couch in front of the tv in a tryptophan-induced coma. Sounds romantic, right?

Pretty much. But since we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, there's really nothing special going on in November.

Heh, and if I went it would be because the lineup was damn good enough to travel all the way there.

Well, there are the regular visitors from Sweden and Norway. Sometimes people come all the way from Japan or Australia. So a guy from the UK wouldn't be that rare. ^^

And I don't even have much money to go on holidays on a regular basis. There's actually a possibility that I'll go away somewhere with my parents. When they have the thought of going to Spain for PortAventura and go to Barcelona as well for one week, I suppose it's hard to pass that up, especially when I'm a sucker for theme parks.

Barcelona is a nice city. A bit too crowded, maybe. And the traffic is pretty dangerous (nobody looks out for anybody... and don't think they'll slow down for you if you are crossing the street!). But it's definitely worth visiting Barcelona at least once.

Funny what you can explore out there just by going outside for whatever reason.

Barcelona is a nice city. A bit too crowded, maybe. And the traffic is pretty dangerous (nobody looks out for anybody... and don't think they'll slow down for you if you are crossing the street!). But it's definitely worth visiting Barcelona at least once.

If I can barely manage London, I imagine I can get through Barcelona. Nothing new has been said since, though but I'll need to speak to them about how much the whole trip will cost me. If this year is the better time to go than the following year, I'll look into it now but if it can be saved for next year, that would help me a lot. This said holiday has been talked about by my parents once or twice in the past so surely there's plenty of chances to go to said places in Spain some other time. I really wouldn't mind an abroad trip sometime over the next year or two providing it won't completely demolish the money that I have. I know I put it off years back but now I feel the odd one can slide somewhere and if they go somewhere and I'm on my own, I don't mind the solitude for a week or two.

Last time I went abroad was 18 months to go to Paris for three nights. The trip worked out well to visit Paris itself as well as go to Disneyland Paris for the other two days. I justified that holiday by saying the money I got for my 21st birthday went towards that. I would like to go to other places like possibly going to America for some events but clearly the interests of going somewhere between mine and my parents aren't alike for the most part.

The last time they went to America was the four of us going to Florida and that was back in 2002. It was the third and most recent time we went there. Originally we were going to New York in December 2001 but after what happened with the World Trade Centre, we cancelled the trip and saved the money to go to Florida the year after. I would have loved to have gone to Philadelphia for one of the NGHQ events but at this time not only am I short on money, I feel it would be too much of a trip to go all the way there when my interests aren't as passionate as they once were. A year or two ago would have been the best time to have attended Pico Day but the most I'll commit to NG events now are the UK meets. I'd love to meet the Fulps in person but the chances of Tom being in the UK again aren't very clear and Wade's likelihood of being here is even less.

Whoops, my mind went rolling again...

The movies appear to be down now. Perhaps the author pulled the plug on them themselves. Chances are that shit would have passed and to be honest, I've been thinking to myself lately about the B/P update. I'm not so sure if I should even keep it going. I'm sure a few would agree that the whole blacklisting thing only shows my lack of enjoyment for providing the updates every fortnight. I'm always feeling bogged down by the way the site is going as well as the users who simply don't care about how they vote. Hell, it makes me mad enough that the wrongdoers are not getting punished when they should be.

They say you shouldn't do things that you don't enjoy doing and to be honest, more and more I grow tired of making these updates. I've already stepped down from the hexalist and already I feel like dropping another list update. I still have love for the EXP update, though as that's a system you can hardly abuse. Everyone has their chance to deposit once a day so unless you're overflowing with alts or you've been taking accounts that are clearly not yours, there isn't so much of a problem with the system. I'm not the biggest fan of getting someone to take care of your deposits for 99% of the time but I suppose if I assist someone with their EXP most of the time, I'm not the best person to speak against it.

Despite wanting to continue the EXP updates, I'm still finding it a chore to extract users every so often and pull their stats to add to the corresponding spreadsheets. I might find someone who is possibly up for doing that and they follow my "secret ingredient". I've spoken to one or two about passing on the B/P update to them and maybe the next update of mine will be the last. Or, I could see about keeping it going until the end of May which by then I'll have done the update for five years. It would be a good time to hang it up and move on.

Well, one is in the obituries now. But I'm not sure if it was really blammed or just deleted by the author. I still am sick of getting one or two blams a day, when I hit the 0 button far more often than that. Really, what's the point in B/Ping if your vote doesn't really matter in the end? 90% of the flashes pass anyway.

Yes. It's also amazing how small a "big city" can be.

I don't know much about the traffic in London. But Barcelona is pretty bad... once I've seen an ambulance with sirens on, but almost everyone just ignored it's priority.

Whoops, my mind went rolling again...

Nice one. ;)
One of my colleagues had his last working day today. He's now going on a "work & travel" trip for 6 to 12 months.

They say you shouldn't do things that you don't enjoy doing and to be honest, more and more I grow tired of making these updates.

Exactly. What's the point if everyone just gets saves and saves and even more saves just to be high in some (not so important) list? Not trying to put your work down. I enjoy stat lists. But if people do everything just to be on it... it becomes questionable if the list should be continued. It's a nice addition to us stat whores, nothing more (and nothing less!), but if you just feel it's a chore to do it... it's best to stop doing it.

I feel the same about B/Ping in general and the feeling gets stronger every time I see that I only got as much as TWO blams for the whole day. So, I stop B/Ping for the rest of the week and we see how it goes from there... maybe I even have some more time to do some reviews? ^^

I beg to differ. Since I don't find anything attractive about the male body, I just can't imagine having any erotic encounters with a male person.

I don't find things attractive about the male form, but I can see why certain females are attracted to certain male looks (though why they are attracted to Robbie Williams is beyond me). It's one of the reasons that I work out - to make my own for more attractive.

Yes. It's also amazing how small a "big city" can be.

They say it's a small world. I suppose it's true. Hell, all we've done is explored this planet and only a small fraction of the universe has been discovered by us.

Yeah, I really need to shut up at times. We're not gonna find out these things in our lifetimes unless we froze ourselves. Also not happening. :P

If I can barely manage London, I imagine I can get through Barcelona.

I don't know much about the traffic in London. But Barcelona is pretty bad... once I've seen an ambulance with sirens on, but almost everyone just ignored it's priority.

London gets hectic at times, particularly in the central area where everything is located. One city I dread to go to due to traffic and being an extremely busy place is New York. It's never made to look quiet at all.

Whoops, my mind went rolling again...

Nice one. ;)
One of my colleagues had his last working day today. He's now going on a "work & travel" trip for 6 to 12 months.

I'd also like to go to a Comic Con or a PAX event. You know, where Tom himself shows up to but I wouldn't be there just for him. I would of course go there for various other things. Other places I'd like to go are various places where they have all the big thrill rides. Being a roller coaster junkie, I do wish I could go to all these places but dammit, so little money to go to them all. That's why it would be cool to go to PortAventura in Spain but again, it's all about budgeting.

They say you shouldn't do things that you don't enjoy doing and to be honest, more and more I grow tired of making these updates.

Exactly. What's the point if everyone just gets saves and saves and even more saves just to be high in some (not so important) list?

It's sad because I tried to keep my faith in the blammers but less and less it actually works. The staff really need to think over the judgment system, otherwise the portal is gonna keep digging its grave. It's no wonder so many have abandoned ship from here...

Not trying to put your work down. I enjoy stat lists. But if people do everything just to be on it... it becomes questionable if the list should be continued. It's a nice addition to us stat whores, nothing more (and nothing less!), but if you just feel it's a chore to do it... it's best to stop doing it.

Well, I'm still thinking things over but the EXP update is still on schedule. I will need to catch up on my user extractions and hopefully I find a bit of time to do that. As for the B/P update, I'll see how I am by next Sunday.

I feel the same about B/Ping in general and the feeling gets stronger every time I see that I only got as much as TWO blams for the whole day. So, I stop B/Ping for the rest of the week and we see how it goes from there... maybe I even have some more time to do some reviews? ^^

I only stopped because I wanted my retirement goal and had nothing to do with savewhoring problems whatsoever. That said, I've not tried to blam with my Toohot100 alt for a long time now. I just don't feel it's worth putting the effort into anymore. While I pretty much have nothing to do for up to five days a week, there's some things I just don't feel like doing anymore. Infact, since my break up I've realised how much I hate being stuck at home all day. It didn't bother me so much beforehand but now I do see how dull life is when I'm stuck sitting in front of my laptop for most of the time.

I only ask for a few things in life and I try to not be more demanding than that. All I want is to have a good job and to enjoy my life with a love partner together and forever. Is that really much to ask for, life?

Correct - procrastination will not help in these circumstances.

I have been giving a search this week but with the Easter weekend in the way, I'm gonna wait it out until after the holiday is over. Perhaps then I'll have a clearer mind on finding someone out there. Gotta try a few different methods and see what works out better than others. I personally don't think searching around Easter or Christmas is a good time since everyone will be too occupied with celebrating the holidays. That was why I didn't have relationships in my mind last November and December, although I did have someone in mind that I probably would have tried asking out but she was already taken.

I'm sure a relationship can happen at any time of the year but there are times when I feel I gotta look for someone until afterwards but hey, if things worked out better than expected then I really can't complain. Let's see what having bigger determination will do for me. I guess if I didn't fall in love with her at the end of January, I would have been at the same stage now doing the exact same things.

Now more than ever, I understand the meaning of the phrase "fuck off" :P

Or the phrase "don't fuck with me". XD

Also, what are those "shower"-thingies you talk about? :P

Like standing in the rain, but warmer, with the application of herbal blends, which help to keep hippies smelling nice :P

I see. I think I've heard of them before...

I beg to differ. Since I don't find anything attractive about the male body, I just can't imagine having any erotic encounters with a male person.

I don't find things attractive about the male form, but I can see why certain females are attracted to certain male looks (though why they are attracted to Robbie Williams is beyond me). It's one of the reasons that I work out - to make my own for more attractive.

"Why carry a six pack if you can have a whole keg?" is a common phrase here... and in my experience, women don't like overly muscular men that much anyway.

Prince Harry is a legend! The Prince Philip of the new generation. Casually racist, sense of humour, war hero, everything the modern Royal Family needs.

Since I was talking about spanking before... all the royal family needs, is a good spanking. :P

I'm pretty sure there is more intelligent life out there. If they can travel through the universe I don't know. But since there is an infinite number of planets out there, there just has to be another one where there is life...

I heard a radio play not too long ago (from the 60's. I really am into old radio plays like that), it was about a guy who had an illness that couldn't be cured in the time he lived. So he decided to freeze himself. Then, when his illness could be cured, he was unfrozen. But it turned out that he couldn't cope with society anymore, since almost everything he knew had changed.

I mean, it's broken since the redesign and since then we hear that it's being looked into. But come on... it can't be that hard to change the character coding. It is already working for our newsposts!

And in my new company, I don't know if I can surf privatly as much as I did at my old place. So, even less time...

Maybe I will become active again, but maybe I'll just up my numbers to a nice, round total and that's it. I really would like to reach 20k blams, but with only 1 to 4 blams a day, it's just not worth the effort.

That said, I've not tried to blam with my Toohot100 alt for a long time now.

I tried blamming with one alt as well. But out of 30 votes cast, I barley did recieve any blam points. So... fuck that.

I don't think I've ever made this mistake once. Although, if I am giving up depositing my alts then it's less likely it will even happen. Now I'm only going to deposit for the one guy who has asked me to take care of his account for as long as possible. I'm still keeping that favour for him even four years on. While I have missed a lot of deposits for him, I'm still doing at least 90% so hopefully it's still good. Then again, if it weren't for me, he'd only be around level 40 and he's at least ten higher than that now.

We can't say how many planets are actually out there but there's gotta be some lifeform somewhere. However, if nothing has arrived here all this time then chances are we probably won't ever see them now. Heck, maybe Earth will never see extraterrestrial life at all. I know scientists are doing a lot to find whatever is out there but if they ever do find anything and is currently living, we're still a long way off. Kinda funny how some like myself want to know what's out there when for all we know, they could possibly destroy the whole world if they ever approached us. :P There's a 99.99% chance anyone outside of this planet approaches us will be hostile.

If I did get frozen for 50 years or so, I kinda dread how technology will be then. What would the internet even be like then? We complain about what Facebook and YouTube changes enough over one thing so imagine them in 2050s when the time arrives. A far distance future like that is a long way to go and I don't want to look far ahead, especially when I'd like to make sure I can have a good life. Seriously, even trying to look at five years in the future is something I'd rather avoid. For now I want to try and fix myself a bit. I don't want to be single and unemployed for all eternity.

Yeah, I'm starting to lose my patience with them over this. I'm sorry but it's been over a year and something that seems so minor as well as something I've not once seen on any other website on the world wide web is starting to take the piss. Another thing I want them to fix which has lasted far longer than it should have is the error with artists having their posts listed in riff-raff. I am sick of having my posts shown in the community section when clearly it should be in artists. I'm to the point where I hardly want to make that many news posts now. The effort I put into all those posts and hardly got any responses for it. Infact, I wouldn't even get anything now unless it was a short and simple post. I don't think I'll be renewing my supporter badge in September if this is still going on even then.

I said to Metal-Therapy that the worst you can do is having a ridiculous amount of alts or taking over accounts that clearly do not belong to you in the first place. Everything else, the system is spot on, although there's been a few moments where users have gained more EXP than realistically possible whether it be a request to one of the admins or they found an exploitation somewhere.

I only stopped because I wanted my retirement goal and had nothing to do with savewhoring problems whatsoever.

And in my new company, I don't know if I can surf privatly as much as I did at my old place. So, even less time...

If you are giving yourself some time to review submissions, that I feel is far more productive than continuing to gain points. I only wish there were more dedicated reviewers on the site. Now all you see is crappy one liners that look like they belong in YouTube comment boxes. This is not the direction we should be heading but clearly the internet is having much lower standards than it did before.

Maybe I will become active again, but maybe I'll just up my numbers to a nice, round total and that's it. I really would like to reach 20k blams, but with only 1 to 4 blams a day, it's just not worth the effort.

Yeah, that's only eternal so it's not really all that worth it. Funny to think gfox still needs to get 36,000 saves yet now is the best time to get what you need. It shouldn't be encouraged but he's taken long enough to even try and get there. Just about 1,600 more saves needed for him. It can't be that hard if he focused enough but I suppose his life is too busy to even have time for B/P anymore. It's always a good idea to try and get points from the portal when you're depositing.

That said, I've not tried to blam with my Toohot100 alt for a long time now.

I tried blamming with one alt as well. But out of 30 votes cast, I barley did recieve any blam points. So... fuck that.

It's painful to even hear that.

It didn't bother me so much beforehand but now I do see how dull life is when I'm stuck sitting in front of my laptop for most of the time.

Well, maybe that's just the motivation you need to change something. I know the feeling all too well. In fact, sometimes I didn't feel like working in my student job at all. But I just couldn't tell my wife: "Oh I stopped working there because I just couldn't motivate myself". That would have been very silly.

At least now I feel staying at home all day is never a good thing. I've enjoyed my free time listening to music for at least 12 hours a day and playing video games whenever I feel like it (with the odd TV and movie to watch) but I think I've let myself have all this free time for a good long time. I know I have friends to see at least twice a week but I think a bit more can be done outside the house. Maybe now that I'm saving money on travel expenses I can possibly do something for another day of the week but I gotta see that I can do it within budget. I can't get myself hammered every Friday when that will only demolish my money so fast. Perhaps I can see that once a month I can go out for a Friday drink.

I only ask for a few things in life and I try to not be more demanding than that. All I want is to have a good job and to enjoy my life with a love partner together and forever. Is that really much to ask for, life?

IMO: No.

Thanks man! I know other things may be desired at a later point but it's not like I'm asking to be a millionaire or anything. Just the money to get me by in life will do for me. Sure, the vast amount of money would be nice but I'm not going to make it a lifelong goal or anything. As for a love partner, this one is never a piece of cake to obtain but I only want to share my time with a special someone. To be able to do a lot of things together wherever we go would make myself really happy and I want to make sure I can make my loved one happy and special as well. I don't want to feel like I'm treating her like a possession and I much prefer an equal relationship so neither of us is more dominant than the other.
