You can be happy about someone saving your life without wanting to share the details, and wishing to preempt requests thereof. That's fine.

Just... Hans, try not to do whatever it was that your life needed saving because of, again, y'know? And maybe buy this person a doughnut or somethin'.

Sure, he can post whatever he wants, fine by me.

But I dunno, just seems like a waste of time to basically tell us he won't tell us anything. This kinda looks like that thing people do when they say 'I don't wanna talk about it' when in reality they do wanna talk about it, but don't want to seem whiny or something so they take a detour.

I mean, we're all friends here right? If he wants to tell us, he should just tell us. If not, why bother?

Also, I guess I have released more than enough information for somebody to track me down :v
But anyone that is in #bay12lb regularily could have done that much earlier.

As a fellow Belgian, rest assured, your secret is safe. Nobody needs to know we're actually a glorified battle arena for former European powers.

You could also pick 1.4km if you were a wussy.
(Our school made it mandatory for anyone in year 3 or above to take 4.6km though)

Even 1.4km would trigger lawsuits here. Hell, BREATHING causes lawsuits. And cancer.

Okay... putting it a bit more bluntly. If it's not breaking the rules or blatantly belonging in a different thread, don't tell people to not post their happiness. Alright? S'out of line, so to speak.

H's reasons for not sharing details are his own and t'be respected, not questioned. He's told us someone saved his life, and that's reason enough to post here. The second bit was just to head off inquiry, which is understandable in many cases.

Ordered two books. Hopefully one of them turns out to be the real deal since there are some differences to the one the publisher has on their main page (but most of the other stuff checks out :S). The other one is a photobook, first I ever bought, the previews and the idea of it is awesome (years of amateur photos of suburban Norling taken by one dude troughout the later part of the 20th century, basically one of my favourite periods and places). Should be here in a week or so, rather stoked

I'm going to be moving into my very first place I can call my own soon

I'm gonna take pictures and post them here. It's super affordable for a starving college kid budget plus! It has a yard!

My flight to Scotland and a month of low-responsibility life awaits. It's no research trip, true, but light academics makes for a vacation that's almost as good.

I... have enough money that I can eat out every night, if I want to, and keep up with bills and my savings. I don't want to, but this is a weird level of financial security. Pity I'm throwing it away in a few months for a graduate student stipend. Ah well. It's quite nice right now, anyway.

Meanwhile, in the pro gaming corner:

"I spend hours every day practicing, and am considered by some one of the best players in the world. I still have to work at McDonald's to not go bankrupt."

Paraphrasing roughly a thousand interviews of pro gamers. It's not the best career, but damnit, it's mine.
My happy: Family of deer on my lawn. So adorable.

Happy New Comic Day, everyone!
Gonna eat my toast (with Vegemite on one slice and this interesting, rather tasty cinnamon-infused peanut butter on the other) and then head into the city and spend money on delicious comics. And then come back again. And then go out again. Should be a fun time!

I now have a serotonin tattoo. Yaaaay~

What job do you have? Suddenly I'm interested.

I wonder what the media would be like if we hype over gaming tournaments just as much as we hype over sports.

[Playergamer]

Frickin' AWESOME, Objective.

I'll bet people would get boners when it comes to sport video games.

[Eric Blank]

Don't let your kids watch programs airing sports-related video games, moms!
