That is because Oakland fans are trash, Shane.

I am classy as fuck and I am a diehard Oakland fan. As Shane told me yesterday, "Opinions are like assholes. Yours is WRONG."

Good to see you back, kid.

I heard that there were rumours on the internets that I had died.

GAH MY FUCKING NECK

That. I can't turn my head at all. asldlsajdl I attempted to soak it last night, but after a few seconds submerged in water, I realized my tattoos don't like water yet.

(Also, Dimmukane, fill a sock with rice and heat it for two minutes or so. Put it on your neck. Or a hot shower. Or hot bath. Or rock the fuck out while playing drums. That got some of my mobility back yesterday.)

So I called the friend, and he seemed pretty angry at me still. I don't know. We talked. He kept interrupting me, saying he didn't want me to grovel. I don't know. He said he'd give me a second chance. He really probably shouldn't. We couldn't talk for as long as I would have liked to because he had to get ready for a Man Man show. I am jealous.

I asked a different boy friend who was not involved in the weekend, thankfully, if he would come over to snuggle me, and make my blistered hands feel better(from drumming. For rock band 2 because I am that lame), and fall asleep with me. He said he couldn't because he was working. So I asked if he would come over afterward, his response was "Negative. Killing space zombies." This guy has stood me up to play D&D before. Why do I heart this kid so much? I find it absolutely adorable that he would stand me up to play games.

Alex C · « **Reply #2506 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 17:54 »

Oh man, was he playing Dead Space?

Emaline · « **Reply #2507 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 18:00 »

He will be when he gets off work tonight. I am pretty sure that was his plan for last weekend, as well, which is why he couldn't come out Saturday. For some reason I find this absolutely adorable. He is very swoon worthy.

Hi blog thread (epic downer ahoy)

So I have a friend who I used to be really close to a couple of years ago, and while we are not close now, I would still consider her a friend and she is a really rad girl. Anyway, 5 weeks ago her 17 year old sister killed herself. And now, 5 weeks to the day, my friend has been involved in a really bad car accident. She has severe head and neck injuries, her lungs are fucked and her liver has bee cut pen. It is unlikely she will pull through. She is fucking 19 years old.

I am really quite upset about this blog thread, and I feel so so so awful for her family, especially seeing as they just lost a child 5 weeks ago.

Emaline · « **Reply #2509 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 18:19 »

Oh my jesus. wow. Are/Were you close to the family?

jodizzle · « **Reply #2510 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 18:23 »

No, only to her really.

Vendetagainst · « **Reply #2511 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 18:27 »

I'm sorry, that's awful.

Emaline · « **Reply #2512 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 18:33 »

Wow. I really don't know what to say. I mean, I was gonna suggest doing something for the family, because I mean, I imagine that they feel pretty terrible too. But yeah. I hope she pulls through. Keep us updated as much as possible, if you can. I'm really sorry.

jodizzle · « **Reply #2513 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 18:47 »

I'm sorry blog thread! This is really depressing!

Carry on telling me about your day.

KvP · « **Reply #2514 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 19:43 »

That's terrible, Jodie!

Cheer yourself up by purchasing a heavy metal auteur shirt.

Dear blsh,

I now have enough money for another chem run. I really want to focus on pyrotechnics, but I also am missing a few basic instruments (like a thermometer that isn't a piece of crap) and I can't put off getting them anymore! I'm getting a few things I'm excited about (copper acetate* and hexamine**, for example) as well as basic things like a test tube brush (labware is really hard to clean!) and a powder scoop. I will also be making black powder (though without a ball mill it won't be the high-reactivity form), aluminum powder, and ammonium perchlorate.

Yet again I will be putting off buying gibberellic acid (basically like an outrageously powerful plant hormone) even though I would really enjoy it.

*I made it once and it took around a month for a decent yield. I mixed it in with homemade ink, 'twas pretty.

**For DNP, so it should be quite exciting!

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2516 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 20:26 »

Seriously considering the Herzog or Scorcese shirts.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #2517 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 20:30 »

Man, I'd go for the Bela Tarr one.

Inlander · « **Reply #2518 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 21:17 »

I'm pretty sure the Fassbinder one is the best one.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2519 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 21:54 »

Except it's shit ugly.

Inlander · « **Reply #2520 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 22:08 »

Man if I was going to wear any of those t-shirts it wouldn't be because they looked good.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2521 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 22:24 »

Yes but at least most of those shirts have some kind of element of considered design to them. That one looks like they grabbed the "Pastor of Muppets" font off of the net, typed in Fassbinder, and sent it off to the screen printers.

Inlander · « **Reply #2522 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 22:27 »

Really? It looks like they've done basically the same thing with all of them: change the Def Leppard logo into a De Palma logo, the Van Halen logo into a Von Trier logo, etc. The idea behind the Fassbinder one doesn't seem any different to me really, and I guess it's easier to read so the absurdity of the joke is more up-front or something.

KvP · « **Reply #2523 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 23:04 »

My stupid boy is backstage at a Chuck Ragan show right now (well I guess technically it is probably over by now) and is sitting next to Ben Nichols from Lucero drinking beers. I am the most jealous. He just sent me a picture. What a stupid jerk.

squawk · « **Reply #2525 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 00:01 »

Man, how come I suck! It's the end of the first quarter and this is supposed to be my Redemption Year, because, it's junior year, and I fucked up horribly second semester of my sophomore year with a very strangely premature yet genuine case of senioritis. Also, unrequited gay love. But anyway, I have failed to actually put forth any more effort than I did before, which is frustrating because I know I don't even need to work that much harder to attain higher grades. I mean, shit, in nearly all my classes I just have high B's without trying. But here I am, with absolutely no self-discipline, killing my future. Raagrhgrhgr I think I might have to ban myself from the internet a lot this next quarter so I can balance out the semester grades into something less stupid. And I think I need to start looking at schools other than Berkeley; like, schools I can actually get into. Shit.

At least I've been productive song-wise

Probably. But he's a Sox fan (moar liek SUCKS fan, amirite) so of course he's gonna hate a real baseball team.

Dear thread blog
It seems as of recently that i can not fall asleep until later and later. I am also getting sick it seems, this combination causes me to miss my classes because i don't wake up. This is seriously killing me and will be my end.

The A's are OK, it's just sort of funny that they actually think that the Giants give a shit about their imagined 'rivalry'. Sorry guys, we have a real rivalry, go manufacture one with Seattle or something.

GOOD NEWS BLOG THREAD

Taylor has woken up and is going to be fine! There is no lasting damage and although she will be in alot of pain for awhile it is better than anyone even dared to hope. I am so so so glad.

Thanks for your support dudes, I appreciate it.

Oh man, that's such a relief to hear. I have this weird tendency to worry agonizingly over the woes of complete strangers (especially ones to this degree), so I feel much better.

Dovey, I heard that they never once use painkillers to restore health like they do in the video games. That alone is why I don't feel like spending $15 to go see it (fuck Dublin and Pleasanton for being so rich).

I HAS A DATE THIS WEEKEND. Record listening at her place and drink drinking to follow.

(Patrick, real baseball teams make the playoffs. Jon, it was more or less me quoting the Dugout, like always)

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2533 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 05:06 »

Hell yes Shane. I hope you never get to the drink drinking part.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2534 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 05:08 »

Because Boris and Merzbow will woo her straight into my pants.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #2535 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 05:09 »

I'd like to see someone prove that it would have the opposite effect. On anybody.

valley_parade · « **Reply #2536 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 05:12 »

The first track takes up a side and a half. If it's not on by then, I guess you've been proven wrong.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #2537 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 07:37 »

I applied for a radio show and I got one woooooo.

I am extremely happy. It's also in a great time slot. (Saturday 1 - 2 GMT if you wanted to know, on freshair.org.uk, just to be sure).

Other than that: so much work it's killing me.

Liz · « **Reply #2538 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 08:01 »

Guys I have found us another secret hideout. Let's start pooling our money again!

valley_parade · « **Reply #2539 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 08:05 »

Liz, the snooker room is off-slope. How can we have an awesome hideout and not be able to properly play snooker?

Liz · « **Reply #2540 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 08:07 »

Dude we can fix it. We just need something to put under the table legs to make it even.

Alternately: Move the table to another room.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #2541 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 08:08 »

I vote first option. Moving pool/snooker tables is god damn hard.

Hey there frog head,
Im at the dentist getting my teef drilled and the right side of my mouf is numb. It feels so very weird to have your mouth numb

Patrick · « **Reply #2544 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 12:57 »

I bet it'd feel great if you could give yourself head like that.

You know you've thought of it at some point, don't you give me that look.

jhocking · « **Reply #2545 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 13:36 »

The thing I like best when I get my mouth numbed by the dentist is running my fingers along my lips. It feels so deliciously strange!

patrick you are disgusting

Coincidentally my dental issues are one of my main concerns lately. Almost a month ago my jaw got screwy after a dental visit and can no longer open wide enough to accomodate, say, a hamburger. I went to a jaw specialist today because, despite doing the stretches recommended by my dentist, I still cannot open my mouth. this suxxx

Woah, blog thread.

Hello QC peeps, I have not been here for awhile.
I've been living on a friend's couch for about a month, waiting for the house I'm supposed to be living in this year to be finished with remodeling. It is frustrating!

Goddamnit blog thread, my GPA this quarter is a 2.1. And colleges will see this. I don't even know what I wanna do about college, or if I wanna even go.

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH

KvP · « **Reply #2548 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 15:55 »

Well it won't be a problem if you don't decide to go to college!

Aherm, anyway, unless you're looking to get into a super posh school, if you go to a college that doesn't care about your high school GPA (a community college, say) and complete, oh, 23 or so college credits, or 2 full-time semesters, then prospective universities will generally ignore your high school GPA and focus on your college credit. My high school GPA was 1.2, which is hi-larious, but I went to my local junior college and hammered out 60 credits at a 3.5, and I can now transfer to most any college I'd like that isn't devoted to making me a World Leader.

That sort of thing could only apply around here, but I doubt it.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #2549 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 16:03 »

I managed to keep a 3.1 (barely), but went to Virginia Tech, said fuck it halfway through, ended with a 0.8. But the local community college didn't care and even let me use the credits from VT to waive English requirements and most of the math ones (I got a C in calculus but a D in linear algebra, so I had to take some form of college algebra again?). In any case, I got mostly A's and transferred to University of Baltimore without a hitch, and possibly ahead of most of the new students in my program.
