How hard does it have to be to begin the project? It's been enough of who does what, what to do, how to do it -- I just want to start coding.

He speaks English fine, but his accent is rather pronounced. At first, listening and understanding what he was saying took some effort, but it's becoming easier.

heh, I had a teacher like that last semester. Took me a few weeks as well.

God, I wish people would turn off the sound on their computers in this classroom.

59 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-09-27 14:47 ID:Heaven

Speaking of computer sounds, my laptop's fan is so loud that i'm embarassed to use it during a class, even though that's what I bought it for!

RE: Computer sounds

My computer is making stupid BEEPs whenever I regulate the main volume control (XP Pro). I think it's the main board and I have no idea how to turn it off (already checked the BIOS). It's really annoying, HALP!

61 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-09-27 16:10 ID:+rPjeR7r

My laptop is starting to look kinda ghetto. It's got scratches all over the case, some of the rubber pads are missing from the bottom, and the fit on some of the frame is weird since I am not qualified to do laptop repair (lol). I'd like to get a new one, but I can't justify spending $1000+ on a computer when I have one that works.

62 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-09-28 03:14 ID:Heaven

Mine's that way too, except I think it's cool looking. Something about the run-down look on all my electronic equipment just does it for me.

So guys, I was bored and I clicked on the "oekaki SQL" board on futaba for fun.
Out of a sense of randomness, I clicked "paint" and drew a picture of Osaka eating out Chiyo.
I came back this evening and found a japanese nanashi had commented on it. He said (translated), "Chiyo-chan, yah cunt is soooo stinky".

Previously, I felt that it was a major accomplishment for a Japanese person to respond to my contributions. Now, I just feel like I should write more coherent things.

No problem, but you can keep the rest of your life that I'll screw up by failing the test.

Or maybe failing the test will lead to you being happy for the rest of your life. Who knows?

It... could be, I guess. Maybe my failure is destiny. :|

today was awesome! No work. I woke up at 11am and headed off downtown to meet a japanese friend of mine! We studied both japanese and english for little while. Then she had to go, so I went off to the chinese place and got very cheap food!
Sweet & Sour Chicken, 2 Liter of Pepsi, Rice, Eggroll, Soup! $4. And then I went off to the anime store and picked up a 1/100 RX-78 NT-1, I''s Volume 3, and a pretty cool Sakura (of Sakura Taisen) figure! I then went across the street to the arcade, played DDR, House of the Dead, Capcom Vs. SNK 2, and King of Fighters 2003. I headed home and when I got there, began building my model. Then I watched Suna Bouzu. After this I ordered chinese again since it was so great, sat back, and played Tales of Symphonia into the night, before getting online and posting on my favorite message boards/bbs and talking to my girlfriend.

For me, today has been the perfect day. A much needed one in the shitty amount of shit that's been happening lately, too!

77 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-09-30 13:24 ID:VOh4qHHf

I need more days like that. :( Not that I really have anything to complain about, mind you...

You are living the otaku dream life. Make tomorrow just as good.

79 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-09-30 20:34 ID:Heaven

>>76-78
how such a simple day can be so perfect~.
it all sounds so easy, this otaku dream life. the hobbies are extremly simple to do and the materials are within arms reach. money is nice but nowadays there are ways to get by on just $50 spare dollars a week and still be able to enjoy anime and games quite a lot. All that's required is an apartment and a computer.

Why, though, can an otaku only have a day like this once every few weeks? Such easy things should be easily done, but not when you want to do them.

80 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-01 05:04 ID:Heaven

I can't stand this shit. My girlfriend keeps telling other guys she loves them and shit like that. Ugh, it makes me so jealous! I'm the kind of guy that needs a ton of affection and love from my girlfriend, not her telling other guys she loves them, when I rarely ever get to hear this myself. sigh~.

I really do get extremly jealous very easily. I don't get mad over it, just very depressed. it sucks. Oh well.

81 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-01 06:25 ID:NPe5DDYx

>>80
Does she know how you feel? If not then maybe you need to tell her.
If she does know, then she's being shitty to you on purpose. Maybe you like that somehow, though.

82 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-01 08:17 ID:Heaven

>>80, do you have some sort of 'open-ended' type of relationship going on? Or is it just 'open-ended' on her side or something?

Man, sad thing is I'd kill for something like that, even... orz

83 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-01 08:50 ID:Heaven

>>82
You'll be much more likely to kill yourself once you're in something like that. How anybody could love somebody and then figuratively or literally watch that somebody fuck some scumbag in front of you I will never understand...

Just go to parties and cons and you'll find girls at random. The kind that like American otaku are one in a hundred thousand, and they might not live nearby, but that's what LiveJournal is for. Also, advertise your lack of social skills with a 4-ch T-shirt. This is the sum of my advice.

On the way to school today, in-between tranferring buses, a girl who went to the same CC as I did and came from the same city (which generally means shes usually on the bus with me for the whole trip) came over to ask a question, and I responded.

After that, she walked away for a bit and I put my headphones on to listen to M-flo on my NetMD.

She came back and stood around for a while like she wanted to talk, but after me not saying anything (or taking off my headphones) she just walked away.

I probably would have tried harder if she was attractive but, oh well.

Don't drink coffee in an effort to stay up because you didn't get any sleep the previous night when you have a programming assignment due in three hours, can probably pull it off in one, and have hardly ever drank coffee before.

I was so hyper I couldn't focus on getting one line done, haha.

Coming up with default names, which ID mode should be turned on, banners, background, posting guides & local netiquette, whether some topics that come up frequently deserve their own board.

Technically, the feedback board already has threads for these issues, but I thought it would be worth a try to see if a localized version in one thread could be done here.

120 Name: 119 2005-10-09 12:54 ID:Heaven

Also maybe discussing if there needs to be less moderation, more moderation, moderation on what kind of issues, etc.

121 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-09 18:55 ID:wvJ72CFh

there needs to be more moderation on alcohol and video games

When did people start caring about other people's children?

125 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-10 02:12 ID:K454IkZl

It's not caring for the children, it's self-preservation. I don't want to be robbed by or murdered by some ill-raised monstrosity.

The problem is that parenthood is a complex activity, and doing it well is extremely subjective. The logistics of deciding who is fit and who isn't is near impossble.

127 Name: Random Anonymous 2005-10-10 02:21 ID:Heaven

The answer is then to kill whoever was not raised right.
