She doesn't know. She just knows that she's unhappy.

But she knows that it's your relationship that's making her unhappy?  She could just be depressed and trying to attribute it to something.

Try to figure out something to do together that you've never done before.  Something you wouldn't normally do.  Shake things up a bit.

Or completely ignore me because I'm just a guy from the internet who knows very little about your situation.

[MaximumZero]

We'll see how things go. I dunno. I don't even know how I want to react, or how reasonable I want to be. I really want to be a nice guy, and I want her to be happy, but I don't want to just let her walk away and fuck up our daughter's life.

It's the MSX one.  It's mostly easier than the MGS series, in which I seem to die approximately every two seconds, but it's still got its hard parts.

Well, never mind.  Out of the blue, my save stopped working soon after saving Gray Fox.  Guess I'll just have to try some other time.

Hrm, looks like my mother needs to claim me as a dependent after all. That's $1150 I'll never see, but I hope hers work out to better'n that. Which is entirely possible. It's also possible that some of the earlier calculations were based on flawed information, so it might not be that much money, but still. I had my hopes up for a bit there. Car, you will have to make do with inferior maintenance for a few more months. Debts, you will have to be paid at the expected rate instead of instantaneously. Further luxuries, you will have to remain unpurchased for the foreseeable future. [/small problems]

On the other hand, I now have rather large portions of the base memorized and know my way through near a solid third of the game.  That's not too shabby.  I'll probably play all the way through tomorrow morning.  Then I can do Metal Gear 2, and finish my Otacon run from MGS1, and... well, maybe the completion for MGS2 + dicking around in Splinter Cell will last me the year and a half before I get a (temporary, in order to make a little nest egg that will help me through the PhD years) job in the tech industry and forever quell my hedonistic desire for powerful electronics.

For now, though, it's time to finish The Witcher :I

@Truean - Sorry to hear that, I hope everything works out for you and the band. The guy's family, too.

@MaximumZero - I've not the experience to advise you, but I'm here for you on the internet, bro.

@Vector - I think you should try playing the game from inside a cardboard box. It's clear that Metal Gear somehow detected your approach. Proceed with extreme caution.

It smallfeel in comparison, but I unjoyed by Orwellian Mic Friday. 'Open Mic Friday' official name. The poetry class used to have people volunteer to read poems aloud during class on Fridays. This classified ownself. Now turns compulsory, or they doubleplusunsucceed at the class.

Luckily for me, I'm only auditing the class because to actually take it would screw with the funding for my college classes. (It's complicated.) The people that actually want to share poetry don't have the opportunity most of the time, and everyone else either reads off Shel Silverstein (which was fun for the first four) or crappy limericks that they wrote while waiting for their turn. On the other hand, I got a friend of mine to read the 'THIS WARN YOU' memo from 1984. "Everything not banned compulsory. Everything not compulsory banned." and all that jazz.

@Truean
Really, really sorry to hear that... Offering my condolences.

I will say no more; I might sound like a jerk if I do.

[ChairmanPoo]

Maybe I'm more sensitive than usual today, but I was genuinelly saddened by MZ's post :-(

Thanks everyone, and Chairman, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring you down.

[Euld]

Not your fault, nothing to apologize about.  I think we're all in shock and are unsure of how to help.  *hug*

[ChairmanPoo]

Yeah, it's just that it seems so out of the blue that it makes it seem rather tragic even to a third party such as me.

And besides, as I said, I was particularily nervous because of this MIR exam thing.

Which I think went decent. Hopefully I'll score inside the range of my last simulacrums, and thus be able to pick a residency slot to specialize in surgery.

However, there were part of the exam which were particularily hard... hrmmmm :/

[Truean]

Thank you all. [Soft, appreciative hugs to Vector, we're gonna lie and say without tears].

I really wanted to get drunk last night, but I'm glad I didn't. I know it's terrible for me. Truthfully, I'm not a very strong person, but I'm an exceptional liar about it. I will always feel it was partially my fault, for not seeing it, and perhaps for pushing him too hard. I'm simply supposed to be better than this and I'm not. We've all agreed not to tell anyone about him saying he'd leave the band.... I think maybe in his own way, he was trying to get us ready for his absence. I'm going to end up stuck doing the eulogy, [sigh]. Fuck it:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Tommy was a fire.
He caught in every way.
Blazed through any rain.
Time was the question:
how fast, how far, how long.

Tommy was a fire.
He caught in every one.
In this plastic people world,
fire spread though his song.

Tommy was a fire.
Light, warmth were our gain.
His song lessened our pain;
his own he'd never say.

Tommy was a fire.
Those flames he'd begun....
He came when we were frozen.
he left us burning up.

Tommy was a fire.
He's out but never done.
Ember memories still stir.
Our privilege to know.

Tommy was a fire.
Without him it'd colder, its darker.
Through this and any night,
we remember his warmth, his light.

Who knows, maybe I'll reform or shorten it, work it into something. I don't care. I'll figure something out. I always mostly do. I've had similar things happen before, but I didn't know the people as long or as well as him. I really liked him. I know the pieces fit, but I've stopped trying to put them into place.

He knew everyone. I knew everything about him. He was real; everything right there on the label. There wasn't a mean bone in his body. He introduced me to the guy I'm dating now. He never cared and just wanted me to make him money. I did. He tried to get me to take more than my 10% and stop bothering him with accounting statements, and show bookings. I never did.

I'll tie this off at some point soon.

[Jopax]

Oh come on dude, not MZ too?

Well this day is getting worse by the minute.

The biggest sad today was my parents visiting, after the initial 15 minutes of jumping jack happy it quickly turned into criticism guilt tripping which nearly ended with me in tears (self control hell yeah). I know they mean well and that I haven't been the best student ever but damn it people there are better ways to compell someone to study than guilting them into it (not like I didn't already feel like a dirty parasite). Another thing is the talk I had with my father, not hearing about transfering to a different college or even dropping out, he's of the mindset that I need to do crap that I don't if I want do to crap I like and is convinced that I will learn to like this stuff with time. He does have a point, but I'm more worried about the fact that knowing myself and my love of safe and cuddly routine that once I fall into it it will be hellishly hard to try and do my art as anything more than a hobby

[quinnr]

My friend is grounded for a couple months for watching 'Pretty Little Liars'. Apparently she had no clue that she wasn't allowed to watch it at all, and the reason her parents gave that the show was inappropriate?

It has a lesbian in it! :O

I haven't watched the show, but beyond that, from what I've heard, there isn't anything her parents would object to. =/
