NICK'S NEVER-ENDING QUEST FOR MUSIC

Thanks to Thom I am now an audiophile who frets over bitrates and file formats. For the past few months I've been bringing a couple of my CDs to my Dad's house per visit (I can only fit five or six in my backpack) and ripping them as v0 mp3s to stick on my iPod.

Then I did the math and realized it would take me months, maybe even over a year to finish them all, seeing as I make a trip to Dad's house once a month. So this month I packed them ALL up in a crate to bring 'em along.

However, I'm not quite sure why I'm doing this. I'm getting an external hard drive soon, which means I'll have the space to rip FLACs instead. Sure, FLACs don't work on iPods, but I can easily convert FLACs to mp3, whereas I cannot convert mp3 to FLAC. This method would be much faster than having to rip all my CDs twice.

Yet I do it the slow, painful way regardless. I suppose I'm just impatient. Two weeks is too long a wait for my external hard drive~

Once I have it, though, the next step is better headphones. Then, an amp. Then of course I need more CDs. But once all of this is accomplished (in a few decades), I will have attained one of my life goals.

I'm not sure why I posted this.

A man and his Internet friends

Just something I drew. See if you can guess who everyone is. Ignore the scribble - it was the work of my sister. -_-

The shirt you can't read says "<TITS></TITS>". I saw it in a picture online and it's an awesome shirt. I want it, despite being male.

Everyone (c) themselves.

HEATHER

Third week of school.

I found out that half of my teachers (one) like TMBG. This is epic win. On Thursday, we all did this activity where like, our teams got a word, and we had to sing an excerpt of a song that has that word in it. I nearly had a panic attack when the word "sun" came up. GEE, I WONDER WHY. But since nobody else in the class other than me and that teacher have ever heard of TMBG, people were confused. But yes, I sung a portion of Why Does the Sun Shine?. Then, shortly after, our word was "in", and everyone was stumped. It was at this point that Mr. TMBGlikingteacherman began singing Birdhouse in Your Soul. I KID YOU NOT. EPIC WIN.

...OVERSLEEP FRIDAY? O_O

I stayed up all night, then accidentally crashed sometime earlier, then woke up at like 8 PM. Nobody was around until a bit later when my cousin hung out for a few hours. We listened to some TMBG, and some weird recording I made. Then she left and I was alone again. What came next should be fairly obvious. HINT: It involved my hand and my penis. Eventually everyone came home. Oh, and uhh, WF's mom got a job, so hopefully now I'll have the mornings to myself again! :D

I'm planning on recording some Bonus Stage impersonations tomorrow if I do have the house to myself. I'm gonna do Slim's Choice and Depart's All Yours. Because I simply MUST show off my Craig and Jessica. Maybe Car, too. I'm fairly good at Phil's old voice.

Heather needs to update her LJ. >:@

~Nick

You'd think that, uh, now that I brought some video games up here I'd have more to do if the computer's taken. Well, you're wrong. There's four people living here and only two things to do. If the TV and computer are both taken, all you can do here is sit on the couch and watch people do things. And I'm the lowest in the chain of authority. ANYONE can kick me off of whatever they want, whenever they want. It's extremely annoying. So I need to get my own computer. Like, a laptop. So I asked for one for my birthday (Sept. 1) several times. If I don't get one, I will become very cross.

I was in quite a few chats today. First, KN and Waylon. Then, KN, Waylon and Heather. Then Cheddar and a bunch of his friends. Then everyone left and then made a new chat. Then they did that AGAIN. Then it was me, Waylon, KN and another guy. Making a total of six chats today. Whooooaaaa.

For my birthday coming up in aboot a month, I will require presents from everyone. Presents can be in the form of TMBG, a laptop, panties (pre-worn, please), RPGs, nekkid photos of my friends, and I guess a few other things, but I would just stick to those. :D HOORAY FOR BEING CONCEITED!

~Nick

GAAAAH TOO MANY HUMANS!

There was some sort of family gathering, apparently, for Independence Day weekend or whatever. People were all the time coming in and out of the house, interrupting my recording of SKF lines and wiki editing and... umm... my flow... It was very annoying. And to make matters worse, Dad made me watch fireworks. I hate fireworks! D:

I did get some lines recorded, though, including a one-minute improv song, titled "Montage", which will be used as montage music in episode one. I also recorded a few lines for Taylor, Heather, Mike and Goliath. My voices are terrible. Only Taylor's are really any good. All the others sound way too much like my own voice.

I also made my first ever SUCCESSFUL They Might Be Giants playlist! It features twenty rock-ish tracks, and it alternates between Johns and I also made sure that each album is separated. I'm listening to it right now, testing it out. Sounds good, so far!

~Nick

THE COONTDOON BEGINS...

ONLY TWO DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT

Current project: makin' my own Bonus Stage soundtrack.

Number of days since I last talked to Heather: 6

Number of days since I last talked to Mandy: 8

Number of days since I last talked to myself: 0

Total number of Flash animations I have made: 1

Oh, yes, I made a Flash animation. Not an actual cartoon, though. Just a crappy animation. It's just a bunch of words. Nothin' special.

Today life lesson... uhhh... I love onions, but not cold. NEVER, EVER eat cold onions.

COMING SOON: SKF?!?!?!?

~Nick

THIS ENTRY HAS NO TITLE. I'M SERIOUS.

I have accomplished literally nothing today.

No work on BSWiki.

No song-writing.

Hardly any talking to people.

I spent the day alternating between refreshing HRWiki's recent changes, refreshing HRFWiki's recent changes, and exploring TMBW. Oh, and I listened to Factory Showroom a few times. WITH THE JAPANESE BONUS TRACKS.

Someone commissioned me to burn them a CD, but I don't like to do projects and things like that until either everyone's asleep, or I'm here by myself. I also don't like to eat unless those conditions are met. So I'm starving.

Heather was not online today, or at least, she wasn't on during the time I was on. WF absconded computer usage from me again today. I REEEEEAAAALLY need to get my own laptop with DSL/cable 'net access. If by any chance SOMEONE out there owes me a FAVOR for whatever REASON, a brand-new laptop running on Windows XP with a CD burner and DSL/Cable drivers + Ethernet card + whatever else you need for net access... would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I'm kinda bored right now. People need to start IMing me again.

Oh, and Heather- solution for the Photobucket probalo... maybe you could just email pictures at Hagurumon31@aim.com instead of uploading to Hobobucket- I mean Photobucket. Hmm. I wonder if KN's updated Hobobucket since I last checked. Probably not.

I dislike pants.

~Nick

I ENJOY BUTTS.

This occurred in an attempt to confuse the crap out of Cheddar:

[23:03] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: you seem to have a specific time to be a jackass
[23:03] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: do you time your periods or something?
[23:03] Nick: Yes.
[23:03] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: LOL
[23:03] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: GOT YA
[23:03] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: you're gross
[23:04] Nick: Me and Anna use the rhythm method so she doesn't accidentally get me pregnant.
[23:04] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: you time your periods?
[23:04] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: I thought you were male
[23:05] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: No. You use birth control
[23:06] Nick: >_>
[23:06] Nick: Well, it's a long story
[23:06] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: boring
[23:06] Nick: See, me and Anna kinda...traded....genitalia once
[23:06] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: no you didn't
[23:06] Nick: So I have her vagina and she has my penis
[23:06] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: LOL
[23:06] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: OH LOL LOL LOL
[23:06] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: LOL
[23:06] Nick: Aaaaaaaaaand she fucks me all the time
[23:06] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: OH SHIT LOL
[23:12] Nick: This one time Anna buttfucked me, because she still had my penis
[23:12] Nick: And she cummed in my ass and it was extremely fun
[23:12] *helpCheddar Cheesia*help: 0.0
Don't ask.

Also, Heather's boobs are hot.

CHAOS ON THE INTERNETS! (PART 6)

Okay, y'alls may be wondering what this "chaos on the internets" thing is aboot. Well, you know my girlfriend Heather? I got word from NT that Heather's not actually real, just a conspiracy devised by KS and KN. So I attempted to pwn the crap out of them by screaming out "HA! SHE DOESN'T EXIST! JUST LIKE KENTUCKY!" but they would not confess. Then Heather ran away crying, so evidentally either NT's lying and I totally just made someone cry for real, or KS and KN are trying to make me feel bad.

I talked to NT again last night, or whenever that was, and he claims KS is willing to confess if NT keeps fighting against him, but he'll keep up the charade if NT goes along with it. That kinda confused me. Shouldn't it... umm... be the other way around? So I dunno, if NT's telling the truth, this whole Heather thing might be over soon, and I'll be single again. But if KN and KS are the truthful ones, I really do have a girlfriend. Hmm.

In other news, Psy registered at TMBW. So now our party of three is all there. And I'm thinking we still need to figure out a better name for our crew, and maybe change our members around or something. Here's what we have now:

The Coffee Crew - Primary Members
Mandy
Nick
Psy
The Coffee Crew - Secondary Members
Tara
Myrrh
Waylon

I propose we boot Waylon for, um, being an ass. And replace him with someone else. All in favor say "I".

~Nick

LAWL

mood:  bored boooored
music: The stuff up there that I just said

I made a post at HRWiki's forum. I'd laugh if people were all like "OMG IT'S HAGURUMON! I REMEMBER THAT GUY! THAT GUY IS SO COOL AND I LOVE HIM!" I know a few people said they miss me, but I doubt they'd react like that. Plus, once a new page starts in that thread, nobody'll ever see the post again. Which is actually kinda cool, because I enjoy just lurking in the shadows. Be nice if people would make a big deal aboot it, though. I'm so vein. >_>

Currently I am listening to TMBG on shuffle. In the Now Playing list right now is LTW, Indestructible Object, The Spine Surfs Alone, the five bonus tracks from Venue Songs, and something else. For some reason the last five songs have been from LTW. Nice shuffling, Media Player! >:(

Oh, wait...now it switched. Okay, cool. ^^; So I guess I'ma play Runescape or something...I'm still at level 39 smithing. Grrrr...just one more level away from smelting gold bars! RAAAAAAWR! Hehe, the other day I was annoying everyone in Runescape by running aroond yelling "PANTS!" at everyone. This one guy was all "stfu".

~Nick "The Legendary HRWikier" Bate

PS - In case any hot chicks from HRWiki are here reading this... sorry, I already have a girlfriend.
PS2 - I just updated my profile. Do not look at it if you are faint of heart or faint of butt, because I am a total pervert and have demented interests.
PSP - Don't ask what the other thing is. It's a secret.
PS3 - Don't pee on electric fences.

UPDATEZORS

Let's see...how did today go for me? I woke up all tired and bored... then I went to Dairy Queen and got a banana split... then I did my crappy schoolwork... then I came home... um, I think that may be it.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND NOW?!

IT'S TRUE.

Yes, Nick and Heather are officially a couple now. ^^;

Wish us good luck, maybe? :D

~Nick

Ed Note: Seriously didn't realize Sick Nick had a girlfriend at one point. I don't know yet if it is an imaginary obsession, or if she really liked him. I guess I just need to read more.

UM, HOLY CRAP.

I just realized that Bonus Stage episode 89 is up. FOR FREE. So I watched it. I pwn'd. Everything looked so...weird, though. Weird, yet somehow pwnsome. At first I thought it was still the preview, despite seeing (and lol'ing to) the title bar. Then I had a heart attack when it cut to Phil and Craig.

So...it's almost 8 in the morning. I'm very tired again, not quite to the point where I'm disoriented and run into things like I've been doing the past few days, but still very tired. I'm not exactly sure why I keep waking up this early. Or am I? ...no, I'm not.

I was roleplaying Bonus Stage last night! ^_^ It was fun. And the only time I've ever RP'd online before was when me an' Tara did this weird/cool TMBG roleplay somewhere in 2004 through 2006. Of course, that was back before I was a fan, so I didn't exactly understand what was happening, but it was still fun. I mean, I got to throw pudding. Who doesn't love to throw pudding?

~Nick "The Wall Runner...into...-er" Bate

Uggghhh. Today kinda sucked. Heather wasn't online, WF ended up getting on the computer anyway, and Waylon started harrassing me as usual. Eventually I just told him to shut up, and he changed the subject. But the new subject was really confusing and I had no friggin' clue what he was saying. Then he left, presumably because I forgot the all stuff I just read. This short-term memory is horrible. o_o;

Earlier I had a slightly amusing conversation with Goliath, though. And here's a little part of it, with a small edit done to avoid more harrassment from Waylon:

[19:52] Goliath Dog: So how're things going with Heather?
[19:52] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Huh?
[19:52] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Oh, uhh...good, good.
[19:52] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: I haven't seen her online today, though
[19:52] Goliath Dog: Ah.
[19:53] Goliath Dog: Maybe she's out buying you gifts.
[19:53] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Um, no.
[19:53] Goliath Dog: It's possible, right?
[19:53] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Errr...I guess so...
[19:53] Goliath Dog: Exactly!
[19:53] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: But she's not.
[19:53] Goliath Dog: How do YOU know?
[19:53] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: I just do.
[19:53] Goliath Dog: DO YOU?!
[19:54] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: ....yeah.
[19:54] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: I do.
[19:54] Goliath Dog: And "I do" is what you're going to say to Heather soon, right?
[19:54] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: ummm, wtf r u talkin aboot
[19:54] Goliath Dog: I'm talkin' aboot you two getting hitched.
[19:54] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: ...................................I'm 15.
[19:54] Goliath Dog: Your point being...?
[19:54] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: o_o;
[19:56] Goliath Dog: She totally wants you, man.
[19:56] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Not really.
[19:56] Goliath Dog: No, she does.
[19:56] Goliath Dog: I just get that vibe.
[19:56] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: So you're a hippie dog now?
[19:56] Goliath Dog: Yeah. Pretty much.
[19:57] Meebo Message: goliath.d@hotmail.com is offline
[19:57] Meebo Message: goliath.d@hotmail.com is online
[19:57] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: wtf?
[19:57] Goliath Dog: Oh, sorry. I...my Internet asplode.
[19:57] Goliath Dog: You just can't trust these dang ISPs nowadays.
[19:57] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Who do you use?
[19:58] Goliath Dog: Macen Corporation.
[19:58] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: o_____o
[19:58] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: ........Macen Corporation?
[19:58] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Oh God, you've been swindled the hell out of.
[19:58] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Please tell me you're not paying Macen for Internet access.
[19:58] Goliath Dog: I'm not paying Macen for Internet access.
[19:58] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Phew, close one.
[19:58] Goliath Dog: Actually, I am.
[19:58] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: o_O
[19:59] Goliath Dog: You just told me to say I'm not.
[19:59] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: ._.
[19:59] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: ........you're so stupid.
[20:00] Goliath Dog: Anyway, Heather totally does want you, man.
[20:00] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: No....no she doesn't.
[20:00] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: I'm ugly and fat and stupid and retarded.
[20:00] Goliath Dog: Yeah.
[20:00] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: o____o
[20:00] Goliath Dog: And you use run-on sentences.
[20:00] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Thanks for the pep talk, Goliath.
[20:00] Goliath Dog: No problem.
[20:00] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: T_T
[20:01] Goliath Dog: She DOES want you, though.
[20:01] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: But she's only known me since the 27th. Which was...
[20:01] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: uhhh.....
[20:01] Goliath Dog: Six days ago, I think.
[20:01] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Oh, right.
[20:01] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: Yeah. Six days.
[20:01] Goliath Dog: Still.
[20:01] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: No.
[20:01] Goliath Dog: She wants you.
[20:01] Nick Bate's Evil Alter-Ego: o______o

Actually, there wasn't much more than that, except a brief greeting and of course the ending of the convo. Goliath kinda confuses me, though. But he's pretty cool.

~Hagu R. Umon

STATUS REPORT

Ha, I think I'm getting somewhere with my text adventure. Still sucks, though.

And I recently came up with this idea to write a song aboot each of my friends... but really I don't remember all my friends, so I may just have to do the "main" ones like Waylon, KN, Mandy, Heather and Psy. Also I think it'd be cool if HMB: The Board had its own theme music... if I was better on guitar/bass I could totally do that, too.

And I discussed The Else with both Anna and Heather. CONTRECOUP YAY.

And KN thinks Heather is crazy. :p WTF.

And I should really make like, a poll, and ask everybody if I'm ugly, hot or average. There seems to be some debate aboot my appearance lately.

And I'm gonna try an' draw something soon, whenever I get my Wacom Tablet.

And the other day, I ran a search on LJ for people with really perverted interests, and I was shocked by my findings. I never knew so many cool people were here!

And I have mental problems.

~And Bate-- Err, I mean Nick Bate

Ed Note: First mention of Anna. She's not even a "main friend" at this point. I wonder when the obsession started. I need to read even more.

AWW, BAD TIMING ON MY PART.

So last night I told Heather to get on here early, and she did. She total did, man. I mean, I even got her IM when I signed on. But I got on too late and misser her. -_-

Yesh, the Nick Bate arrived late, at 10:30 or so EST. I should tell these dogs to wake me up at like, seven. They'd be pretty good at it.

And some chick wants to talk to me today. I don't know why. She says she knows me, but I don't know that chick. So she's gonna be down at Nanny's at 1, when I go down there to do my schooling. Then I guess I'm supposed to talk to her. Seriously, though, I don't know who she is.

But I also have major memory problems, so if she knows me, I must've met her somewhere. I also have other types of problems. Such as physical, sexual, spiritual, mental and emotional.

~Nick Bate, the Probalo Dude

Ed Note: Nick admits he has problems as early as 2007, two years before he committed his crime. I am wondering if his family would have gotten him the right intervention and psychiatric care, couldn't all of this have been avoided?

HI.

Heather left again before the funtimes started. Well, at least she warned me first this time. ^_^ And plus, I can just...create my own funtimes.

So then I also talked to Mandy for the first time in a few weeks. But I was using AIM Express. One word: ouch. Anyway, we discussed lots of things. 'Twas fun.

And I'm literally supposed to be in bed right now, but I was told to make lots of journal updates. So...I am.

Dude. I realized that Homonculus on DialASong.com is completely different from the version on the podcast. But liek, the TMBW guys don't see it. Maybe I just didn't explain right. The lyrics are the same, but liek...

Listen to the DialASong.com one. The "ho" in the first "Homonculus" is cut short, as if John messed up his timing and had to skip the first syllable or whatever. Am I the only one that hears this? It literally jumped out at me the first time I heard the DialASong version.

Also, listen to the chorus. Or whatever it's called. Whenever he sings "crying" or "cry" it totally sounds, like... different from the podcast one. Kinda like he's almost screaming it or something.

Also, there's an extended ending. But who knows, that may have been in the podcast but perhaps the next song overlapped it. Also, the "thank you" is missing from the intro... but I presume it's because that was part of the narrator patter.

There may be more differences. I don't know yet. But listen to both versions. PLEASE tell me I'm right.

EPIC FAIL

Well, I failed my mission.

But, KN requested that I post my hot, hot conversations with Heather to HMB: The Board (which you actually need a password to enter, until the construction is done). So I did. Enjoy, those of you who know the password. And now, personalized messages to each of you who are reading this. In alphabetical order.

Heather - YOU ISH TEH HAWTNESS. But you totally need to wake up earlier, liek, in the mornings when I have the house to myself.

KN - ._. srsly, read that convo. You will enjoy. Oh, and actually image the stuff...in your head. That's what I do. MEGA HAWTNESS.

Mandy - You need to meet Heather. SHE LIKES TMBG, RPGS, BONUS STAGE AND HOMESTAR RUNNER. You'd probably like her. Unless... unless you already HAVE met her.

Nick - Hi, Nick! How's it goin'? You are SO hot.

Psy - Where the crap have you been? So um. 'Sup? Still...doing all kinds of stuff? Yeah, 'das cool.

Waylon - You're evil. Stop blackmailing me.

That's all. Because nobody else is here. Hmm. I should contact some of my other friends...like Phanty, Tara, Macen and Smithy and stuff. I haven't talked to them for a long friggin' time.

~Not Nick... or is it?

TOTAL MADNESS!

mood:  confused confused

Okay, so maybe it's like, five people...if KN's here. I dunno.

Last night = SEVERELY AWESOME.

But Heather disappeared again. Right in the middle of...things. Weird. Major confusion ensued.

And Waylon challenged me to post 20 times on HMB: The Board within an hour. And to make it even more impossible, he said that I couldn't post twice in the same thread. From now on, he is to be known as The Deranged Millionaire.

Aaaaaaaand...that's pretty much it for today, yo. This is Mr. Bate, signing off.

~Me

PS - More people need to IM me so I can tell them all the awesome stuff that's going down. Seriously, IM plz.
