WRITER'S BLOCK: DAILY INTERNET ROUTINE

Daily Internet routine

What's your daily internet "routine"?

REPLY199

Well, I have Chrome set up to automatically open Meebo, Gmail and HMB: The Board upon startup. So the very first thing I do is log into those. Then I start up TweetDeck. From here on it all depends on my mood, really, but generally I check on my status in online games I play (right now those would be Kings of Chaos and NationStates), see if my friends updated any of their profiles on Facebook, dA, LJ, etc., and look at the latest TMBG/H*R/Pokémon news on their respective wikis.

Since I'm usually online for hours at a time, I basically cycle through all the sites repeatedly, refreshing each one over and over until I'm kicked off of the computer or decide to get off by myself. I also IM people and cue up some music to listen to, although recently I haven't been doing the latter much because I broke my good headphones and am relegated to iPod earbuds. And since those are only like two feet long and the tower is on the floor, I have to bend over to a 90-degree angle when I want to hear things, which hurts my neck and back and makes it hard to, you know, type and see the monitor and stuff.

Sometimes I'll also work on some sort of project if I'm really bored. Like, maybe I'll write a fanfic or make a Flash game/toon or whatever. I've never actually finished anything I've ever started, though.

Drama on dA!

So I decided to keep a separate blog specifically for Anna-related events. If you don't know who Anna is, then, uh, maybe you shouldn't even be here. I've explained the story millions of times and I'm tired now.

Welp, here's the first entry.

Apparently Caleb sent Anna the following email:

you're nothing without nick which I find to be very lol

Without nick you're not interesting or appealing in any way, the majority of your "Online friends" are only your friend because Nick's exploits towards you are hilarious.
With his efforts he's going to find love before you, and you'll be a long lost memory.
(and god knows not a very pleasant one)
And once he's gone, the friends that are around to laugh with you at Nick, will be gone
you will be friendless in real life, and offline, too.

P.S. Fat people are disgusting.

P.P.S. your thinning purple hair is disgusting.

P.P.P.S You're disgusting.

You are literally only interesting when Nick is in the picture. You have absolutely no interesting hobbies, or activities that you delve into. You have no social experiences thus no stories to tell in a social situation, or any way to relate to anyone elses social stories.

Basically,
Nick completes you.
You are fully socially inept without this loser being a creep towards you. You are as bad as Nick, but you have a way to displace your terrible social skills and loneliness.
By laughing at Nick every time you feel like you have the short end of the stick socially.

tl;dr PURPLE PIG PURPLE PIG PURPLE PIG

Obviously I was pretty pissed. I then proceeded to yell at him for doing this.

So then, as she usually does, Anna gets her friends to do her dirty work for her. Kate left a comment on Caleb's dA. He then commented back. It went on for minutes upon minutes. I think the comments are probably "HIDDEN BY OWNER" now, so linking to them would be futile. Anyway, I joined in to say that Anna's not a "purple pig", at which point both Caleb and Kate told me to GTFO.

Later on, Kate and some other person Anna knows invited me to an MSN chat so they could once again tell me to leave Anna alone. By now I've learned arguing over the Internet is dumb and futile, but whatever, I presented my case to them anyway. Of course, because they are stubborn, they didn't listen anyway. Don't know why I even bothered.

Then Anna reported me to dA for harrassment. Explain to me how that works out. Wasn't I on HER side? I've gotta say, that woman perplexes me sometimes.

THE GREAT JOURNAL SPLIT!

Okay, I made another blog for postings related to THAT ONE PERSON: http://legendofanna.blogspot.com/

So now when I vent my frustration, it'll be on that blog, meaning from now on this one will be just Nick doin' crazy ol' Nick things. So now everyone trying to stay out of the debate won't have Anna thrown in their face all the time.

The downside is now I don't know what to post in THIS blog. :o

OH, MY.

Hate to bring this up again, but uhh

If any of you've been following me on Twitter, you probably noticed me talking aboot a girlfriend I got IRL. Well, this was one of our plans and it involved me pretending to have an IRL girlfriend to either A. make Anna jealous and love me or B. make Anna realize I'm a good boyfriend and love me. It would've gone smoothly but somehow the other members of my Anna team assumed I was lying (I hadn't told them of my plan yet) aboot having a girlfriend (they were right, but that's not the point) and screwed everything up by getting an actual girl online to pose as my girlfriend. Which was p dumb because I was going to hire someone to pose in a picture with me to use as "proof". Obviously with an online person this would be impossible.

But things went fine for a little while. Then one of the members of my Anna team FUCKED IT ALL TO HELL by telling her I don't really have a girlfriend. He also suggested that the only thing interesting aboot Anna is me and called her fat and a pig and stuff. While all my friends, everyone I've met IRL, and people I don't even know on /b/ agree with him fully, it's completely untrue and was completely out of line. Anyway, this of course sparked bullshit on dA. One of Anna's friends commented on this TRAITOR'S dA, and he replied. I can only imagine things will escalate into ED-worthy lulz if I don't intervene.

Please, for the love of God, guys, don't argue on dA. Arguing ANYWHERE on the Internet is dumb. Especially when you follow the cliché of sending another friend to speak for you. No one will win and It will only make people laugh at you.

This being said, I'm still not a creepy stalker, blah blah blah, Anna, give me a chance, et cetera et cetera.

WRITER'S BLOCK: MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE

WRITER'S BLOCK: MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE

Message in a bottle

What three items would you place in a time capsule to help future generations understand you?

Reply 386

Most importantly would be my collection of Anna memorabilia (two binders, a series of CD-Rs, and aflash drive of photos, recordings, letters, videos, etc. I've collected of her). So that's one.

Next I'd probably gather up a bunch of my writings about They Might Be Giants, Bonus Stage, and all my other obsessions. See, I gain a new obsession every few weeks and for the duration of it, I'll just randomly write all kinds of stuff aboot it for no real reason and never, like, re-read over it or anything.

Finally, my hypothetical journal which will explain the purpose of the previous items and probably other stuff, too. P.S. the purpose of the previous items is to showcase my love, dedication, thoroughness and, um... nerdiness? I guess?

WRITER'S BLOCK: IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK

If these walls could talk

Would you rent or buy the home of your dreams if a brutal murder had taken place there? What if you got to live there rent-free? Would you think twice if neighbors warned you that it was haunted?

REPLY469

No, I would never live there even if it was free! Heck, not even if I was paid to do it. I've seen enough ghost movies/shows to know I'd become the next victim if I stay in a haunted house.

Peace, Dawg

STUFF I WANT (FOR CHRISTMAS, OR JUST WHENEVER!)

(I tried using an LJ cut, but something went screwy with the thing. Sorry.)

Here are the things I currently need.

TMBG
my TMBG collection is pretty respectable, but I'm on a quest to obtain every different version of every song released in any format (but I'm focusing on CD for now). As such, there's still a lot of things I need, mostly rare EPs that only really feature one new track.

These include Sleeping in the Flowers, 2001 Radio Sampler No. 1, 2001 Radio Sampler No. 2, S-E-X-X-Y, The Guitar, What We Did This Summer, I Palindrome I, The Leonard Lopate Show Single, etc.

Then there's a couple audiobooks that, if I had them, would contribute LOADS of new tracks. These would be The Partly Cloudy Patriot and They Might Be. Giants vs. McSweeney's.

Also, I need John Linnell's and Mono Puff's albums. I have absolutely zero of their releases.

There are also plenty of various artist compilations that TMBG contributed to. I don't even know them all, but a few include A Tribute to George Harrison, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers OST, Selections from Rubaiyat, Coraline Soundtrack, etc.

Yes, I'm so obsessed with TMBG that I'll buy a CD just for one of their songs.

The Beatles
I already sent my aunt to fetch me the rest of the new Beatles remasters that I don't already have, so I'll probably get some of those for Christmas. I'd also like Love, though. Some of those mashups are pretty good.

Other bands
For those paying attention to my canonical twelve favourite bands, there's nine more to discuss. I think my Green Day collection is good as is. I don't really listen to them much and they just BARELY qualify as one of my fave bands. "Weird Al", on the other hand, is a collection needing improvement. I only have one release by him, "The Food Album", which isn't even an actual album.

I also need anything by the newest additions Jack Off Jill and Scarling., and also all three of theSTART's albums. I do have their Death Via Satellite EP, but that's only six tracks. When I put all my stuff on shuffle I hardly ever find theSTART.

For the Pixies, I still need Surfer Rosa and Trompe le Monde, and anything containing tracks not found on their actual albums. As far as I know Come On Pilgrim, Pixies at the BBC, and Pixies are the only ones. I could be wrong, though. I have all three Nirvana albums, but again, I need non-album tracks, so... MTV Unplugged, Singles... possibly more, I dunno. I really like the song "Spank Thru" but the only good version of it is on Outcesticide IV, a bootleg.

The last band is Dethklok. And since they only have two releases, um... not a problem. They're low on my priority list, though.

Not music
Other things I need other than music include an external hard drive (1tb+ of storage plz), a USB scanner (apparently Thom's getting me one, woo!), a video recorder (Nanny might be getting me one), an accordion, a top hat, a fedora, platform shoes, aaaand I forget what else was on my list.

DVDs would also be a nice change. The only DVDs I own are 5 of the 6 Rozen Maiden volumes and the first three Sbemail DVDs. I'd like more DVDs of TV shows and stuff, like Family Guy, South Park, King of the Hill, etc. The remaining Rozen Maiden DVD is included in that request. T_T

WRITER'S BLOCK: INSTANT ATTRACTION

Instant attraction

Do you think romantic chemistry is instant or evolving? Have you ever given someone a second (or third) chance and lived to regret it? Have you ever fallen in love with someone you didn't particularly like or desire at first?

REPLY477

Well, again, I believe in soul mates, so it's up to fate. Sure, sometimes people will fall in love right when they meet, but I find that most often people hang out for a while and don't realize they're in love for weeks, months, or even years. It all depends on the people and what God has planned out for 'em.

As for the second question, I give people infinite chances both related to love and in general. I usually do regret it but I'm too afraid if I piss someone off they'll kill me. So I don't piss people off. Ever.

And for question three, no. Although I have loved someone (and still do) whom I liked at first but now dislike because she's kind of a jerk. And by "kind of" I mean she ranks up there with the most jerkiest in the world.
