What is it with pics of Aoki jumping?  lulz.  Is he as nice and genuine a guy as he comes across as to us punters?

[threatsicle]

he is. very nice person every time i see him. everyone in that group photo is actually. genuine nice people


the aoki jump is pretty much like diplo's "express yourself" or... planking. internet thing.

but he basically just takes shots of himself jumping in every city he visits.

cool.  That guy has a dream job.  I can't believe how much he tours!

My woo-hoo of the day is that my new PC parts arrive tomorrow.  I decided it was upgrade time again.  Inflation is definitely a bitch because in the past, I could get the same level of performance parts for less than a grand, but this time around it was $1300, and that's without any optical drives (I already got a blu-ray burner for xmas that I'm going to put in it).

The list:

CPU - Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core
mobo - ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z77
RAM - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
GPU - GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB (overclocked)
PSU - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750M 750W (semi-modular)
SSD - SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 128GB
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s
case - Antec Nine Hundred Two V3

I even took off work tomorrow so I can spend all day building it.  *rubs hands*

Tax man called motherfucking woooooo got my return aka Newegg is about to get richer

[Aaron]

I have a freiend that works for Amazon. A while ago when roommate was looking for a job friend commented that if he finds something on amazon to let him know so he can put in a referal. So I asked about amazon fresh and normal amazon warehouse he said he can and would put in a referal for me. Which he did today. I got an email from amazon a bit ago.  About it being put in by my friend. And since I have all the for realzies reqs. And quite a few of the extra. (about the only one I don't have is a bachelor degree. But since I have worked with foods before at wm for 6 years. I'm hoping they look at that more then anything. Uh I'm trying to get into amazonfresh. I really hope I get an interview. (like I want this job super fucking bad. However I'm trying to not get my hopes up... ) cuz I know this job would pay a lot more and I would be able to have my own place ( and not live solely on bottom ramen. Top ramen being something to splurge on...)

Wish me luck on this. I really need it. And I really need the change.


Also got my tax return wooo. I haven't sent Newegg their money yet. But soon

[Naylzie]

Luna - Is it soon yet?!

Aaron - Good fucking luck, dude!  And I mean that in an emphatic way, not a sarcastic one!  Being able to have your own place would be pretty awesome.  Granted, I have never actually rented ALONE, but there's definitely a large difference between having housemates and renting a place with a partner, and dear gods, was it nice NOT to have housemates.  I had to rebuild some friendships after my first apartment.  Fingers are crossed for you; keep us updated!

As for my own little bit of WOOHOO!, ye gods, so much to say because I've been gone so long again, but the short version is I'm in a healthy relationship this time and the big day is 31/10/13 

It's funny, too.  I remember a guy once, new at the time I think--and I forget who, so hopefully if he's still around I won't embarrass him by referencing this--coming to the board and asking how you know it's real love, or time to get married, or something of a is-this-this-serious? kind of nature.  As one would expect, the answers that flooded in were pretty much along the lines of, "You'll know when it happens, and if you have to ask, you're not there yet."  That came bouncing back to me when we were talking about getting a place together after a few months, and I smiled, because for the first time, I really understood that. 

I've been proposed to twice in my life now.  The first one I accepted simply because I was afraid to say no; I didn't *want* to marry him, but I didn't want to break up right then, either, and at the time, it seemed like saying no was tantamount to saying I wanted to end the relationship.  That's a terrible reason to say yes to a marriage proposal by the way, you know, in case anyone ELSE apparently needs to be told that.  When Brian proposed late last August, I almost couldn't speak, but I definitely said yes because I so absolutely want to spend the rest of my life with him (also note that in my pocket at the time was a ring I'd bought for him while I was away at Pennsic).  I am absolutely thrilled about this prospect and am not just bubbling about planning a wedding because of how easy it is to get carried away planning a wedding; I am actually excited that we are planning OUR wedding.  It's so fucking different and it's amazing and I love it.  And, for that matter, it's a real, concrete thing.  We've set a date.  This isn't just something to occupy my mind and try to convince myself I'm happy.  I fucking am.  SO fucking happy.

Halloween wedding!

[Naylzie]

Halloween rennie wedding!

WHAT IS YOUR NEWS, LUNAAAAAA?!

[Aaron]

Thanks. And ya I either need my own place or a roommate that is way cleaner and cares for his cats a lot more. (i really don't get how he loves them soooo much but doesn't give a shit about their water dish or litter box ect.) I will be looking at studio apartments more but if I can make a bit more ( like for as long as I have been at wm I make shit wages. I really don't get how people support their family on it.) And its a very reasonable bit more. I should be able to have my own place.


And congrats on the wedding. Since its halloween. Will you be dressed as the groom and him the bride? :-P



Oh shit forgot to add. I got new headphones. Shure se 315 they are the same model as my old ones just new... They are shaped very different and are odd fitting for that. But they are flat on my head instead of sticking out a lot. Nice sleak and sexy. My old ones lasted my 4 years of constant abuse. So I'm hope these last as long...

[r00]

Wish me luck on this. I really need it. And I really need the change.

The workmate of mine that sat right next to me just started his new job at Amazon Seattle (cloud network team) a few weeks ago and he loves it.  Good luck dude!  I hope you get it!
