6:40 pm	I'm a nerd of the worst kind What D&D character are you? You Are A: Neutral Good Elf Bard Alignment: Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'. Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance. Primary Class: Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.

6:59 pm	Breaking the Silence Stolen from James: http://colorquiz.com/ Your Existing Situation Readily participates in things affording excitement or stimulation. Wants to feel exhilarated. Your Stress Sources Wants freedom to follow his own convictions and principles, to achieve respect as an individual in his own right. Desires to avail himself of every possible opportunity without having to submit to limitations or restrictions. Your Restrained Characteristics Willing to become emotionally involved and able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity. Willing to become emotionally involved, but demanding and particular in his choice of a partner and in his relations with those close to him. Needs reassurance and is careful to avoid open conflict since this might reduce his prospects of realizing his hopes. Your Desired Objective Wants to make a favorable impression and be recognized. Needs to feel appreciated and admired. Sensitive and easily hurt if no notice is taken of him or if he is not given adequate acknowledgment. Your Actual Problem Strongly resists outside influence and any interference with his freedom to make his own decisions and plans. Works to establish and strengthen his own position. Your Actual Problem #2 Needs to be valued and respected as an exceptional individual, in order to increase his self-esteem and his feeling of personal worth. Resists mediocrity and sets himself high standards. I'm going to say 90% of that is right. Recognition isn't really a big deal to me. I'm not looking for a medal for being a good person or doing a job well. I miss the radio show. Current Mood: calm Current Music: Motorhead - Killed by Death (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:49 pm	Stolen from Cinja the Wit (61% dark, 38% spontaneous, 10% vulgar) your humor style: CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat. I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor takes the most thought to appreciate, but it's also the best, in my opinion. You probably loved the Office.

8:21 pm	I always write the title last because I don't know where my stream of consciousness will take me I think I just had the best hour of poker in my life. I didn't play exceptionally well its just that my cards were actually hitting for once. I'm not sure what to think when I can make in an hour almost as much as I make in a week. So I was wondering about what is in the future for my job. One of the guys is leaving in January and they aren't hiring anyone to replace him - they are just dividing up his jobs between the rest of us. This had me thinking maybe a pay increase, but I doubt that will happen. I found out today there is no scheduled salary increase after X number of months and there are no holiday bonuses. I guess thats what you get when you work for a small company. (Despite being so small we actually get the most work in the the tristate area.) Honestly I have no idea what my market value is. I'm not sure how much I should be making as opposed to what I am making. I just know your supposed to start out with a crappy job and move up from there so that is what I'm doing. Of course I'm still not sure where I'm going to move up to. There is nowhere within the industry I'm in as far as I can tell. Sometimes I think I could go back to school for law, but I know I would just end up incredibly frustrated with that unless I can go to grad school for superheroism. It's mid-November and its in the 70s. Ridiculous. It'll cool down by this weekend in time for another trip to New York. I have to say the FAC message board is one of the greatest things ever. When Crazy left I kind of lost the hub my spoke in the social wheel was attached to. A bunch of people did. I guess with the board it decentralizes the social network and opens more things up to a larger group of people. There hasn't been a weekend in a few months where I haven't been busy. Its nice.

3:15 pm	Random So I decided not to go to AC today. If I went with my parents I would have gotten there about 8:30AM and who in their right mind is playing poker at 8:30 Friday morning? I just took care of a bunch of other stuff. Paid my credit card bill, cancelled my next payment on WoW, and began my withdrawal from Walden. Yeah, I'm a quitter, but the online school thing was cool for about 2 weeks. Then I got a job and a social life and I realized I wasn't learning a thing in these "classes". I guess if I'm going to do the grad school thing I'm going to do it right if at all. Poker has been going well. Since I have a job I rebuilt my bankroll and now I'm playing on Bodog and Pokerstars. I went with Bodog because I heard the games were really soft and there was a good sign up bonus. They are, but there are so few players on the site there only 2/4 and 3/6 limit tables. I haven't really played no limit on there but I would imagine its the same. Pokerstars was just really frustrating at the 2/4 and 3/6 levels. A lot of three outers hitting on the river and people calling down bluffs with absolutely nothing that beat my nothing. So I did the sensible (read: possibly dumbest) thing and moved up to 5/10. I've only played 5/10 once live and it was awful. People were very loose and I just kept getting run over. Looking back I probably wasn't playing properly. So 5/10 has been very swingy. I've been down a lot and up a lot but its been profitable so far. I had been trying to play three tables on the two different sites at a time but I think I'll cut that out so I can concentrate and figure out exactly who the players are that I can take advantage of. I also have to take detailed notes on my wins and losses and all that jazz. The next sites I'm looking into are Pokerfantasy and Doyle's Room. Soft player, good bonuses. Tomorrow is NYC and Jersey City and all of the unimaginable adventures that will occur in those two places. Mandy Moore should do some work with Zero 7 or Delerium. That would be awesome. I don't care what anyone says, I like Sum 41. Always have. I've run out of things to talk about. I could talk about some depressing stuff, but I won't. Enjoy your weekend. xomc Current Mood: blah Current Music: Sum 41 - Yesterday.com (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:28 pm	PC load letter? So work has been boring. I mean, it never was exciting, but now there is not enough work to keep me busy for eight hours a day. I have maybe 5 hours of work and 45 minutes of lunch leaving me at least 2 hours and 15 minutes of nothing to do. I read the board, read the news, wander to the water fountain, chat with people who also don't have enough work to do. So today I did nothing from 11-12, then I had nothing to do when I got back from the courthouse from 2:30 on. So I asked my boss if I could leave early then stay late tomorrow, gambling that I would have something to keep me occupied. And then she gave me a hard time about it. She asked if any new names to search had come in. Yeah, 12. Well why don't you go over and check them and by the time you come back it'll probably be time for you to leave (4:30). It takes me about 30 seconds average to check each name. If I went to the court house for 12 names that is incredibly inefficient use of time and it would take be 20 minutes total not an hour and a half. Then she was asking why I wanted to leave early, if I had something to do. No, I just wanted to leave. Is this what normal office life is like? I knew I already could never work in an office, and this job is just confiming that. In other news I just had a royal flush in poker. Didn't pay too much though. Oh poker, how I've missed you.

6:01 pm	So I did a little research... I talked to my coworker about the Schoolgirl and yeah, sluttastic. She showed me her myspace page. It was like looking at an issue of Maxim. So no, she wasn't one of those pretend, one day a year sluts, she's the real deal. Unfortunate. The quest continues... Current Mood: sluttering Current Music: Thrice - Music Box (Comment on this)

11:18 am	Raccoon Mario vs. the Cute Drunk Girl So in the last two weekends I went to three incredibly different Halloween parties. I will only write about the one last night, as it was probably the most interesting and uncomfortable. First off Halloween is an excuse for girls to wear as little clothing as possible before they bundle up for the winter. Take any costume and add slutty as a prefix and you're set. You've got slutty doctor, slutty pirate, slutty princess, slutty hooker, slutty cowgirl, slutty hazmat cleaner, slutty slut...you see where I'm going? So this story involves a slutty school girl. So this party was at a coworkers house in Philly right around Drexel. So there were a lot of Drexel kids there. I almost forgot what a college party was like. Now I'm going into this thing cold. I know one person in the house, I don't drink, I don't even socialise well. I could quite possibly be insane. I got there around 10 which was apparently early but people soon arrived in droves and it came to be you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting 3 drunk people. I'm going to say there were about 75 people at the party spread out across 2 floors. So I'm downstairs chatting with a fisherman when he decided he wants to go upstairs to see whats going on. We get up there and he breaks off. I standing there and I see across the room this gorgeous girl, unfortunately, wearing just about nothing (I ever mention how I like modesty?). She's chatting with some guy, we make eye contact a couple times, and at some point she comes over. Of course she's drunk as a skunk and doesn't realize what I am at first (though not many people did at this party. It took them an average of 4 minutes 16 seconds to figure out what I was and even then I was called squirrel mario on more than one occassion.). So she figures it out and decides that she is going to hit me to make me lose my powers. She hits me so I take off my hat signifying my loss of power and she points out that I still have a tail. So I hit her with my tail, she hits me a couple more times and she departs. I ran into her a couple more times throughout the night where she'd drunkenly introduce me to people as Raccoon Mario and hit me to make me lose my powers. I left around 2 as many people did. I'm not sure where she ended up, but I think I'm going to ask my friend at work about her. What do I have to lose? Costume of the night has to go to the bottle of Heinz Ketchup. She was drunk when I got there and managed to remain so for 4 hours. Honorable mention goes to the Green Absinthe Fairy, Ralph Wiggum dressed as "Floreda", and Mikey O'Neil (Brad Pitt's character from Snatch).

10:18 am	New Releases So this Tuesday you have some quality releases coming out. In music there is Thrice's new album, Vheissu, which is really good. Its different than anything they've done before but different in a good way. In movies the biggest release is Batman Begins. There is both a regular and deluxe edition and different places are offering different purchase incentives so check your options. There is a Special Edition of the Big Lebowski and all of the previous Batman movies (There is also an 8 disc anthology set, but why you would want 3 and 4 I have no idea). Season 1 of He-Man is coming out so you can once again battle Skeletor and Beastman. One movie that came out last week that bears mentioning is Unleashed. Jet Li is good. I have a food hangover from the wedding yesterday. xomc (1 Comment |Comment on this)

6:41 pm	Twelve Sided Died Let me direct your attention here. Yes, Teen Girl Squad has a new episode out. Its good times. At this moment I am too tired to do any of the school work I should be doing so, instead, I choose to write for you, my friends. In continue to work in Philly checking backgrounds and abstracting files. The job is not difficult, mildly boring and doesn't pay that great, but I suppose it will look good on a resume as "substitute teacher" and "poker player" weren't getting me anywhere. Speaking of poker, my online game seems to be back up to par however I am not going to be quitting to play full time again. Its a very strange feeling when you can sit at the computer for a couple hours and you can make what you do at a day or two of work. The fact that there is always a game going is also quite a temptation. Yes, at this moment I could be playing and making money. Its like that ever second of every day. I used to think every minute I wasn't playing was like losing money. I still think that to some extent. With school at this point I'm really just going through the motions. I'm only reading what I have to and only reading the minimum of online posts. I'm not really learning anything. Sure I learn a lot by reading, but I forgot that I learn a lot more through lecture and discussion. So basically at this point I'm not exactly sure where things are going. I've always had the problem of being too interested in too many things and not having enough time to pursue them all. I also become overly committed to new things which leads to almost complete exclusion of some of the older things. I guess I have some thinking to do. Poker is on ESPN from now until 10. At 8 they start showing the Main Event of the World Series of Poker. xomc Current Mood: eclectic Current Music: The Juliana Theory - Deadbeat Sweet Heartbeat (2 Comments |Comment on this)
