Things I'd Like To Do Someday

-Tabletop RP
-See Rocky Horror, the whole she-bang (which means finding someone who's been to take me, I think)
-Learn Japanese
-Go clubbing

WWU's showing Rocky Horror on Halloween! People are encouraged to dress up? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

There's a place in Vancouver showing in next week, I think, but my understanding of Rocky Horror is that if you're a Rocky Horror virgin, you have to go with someone who's been before.

Yeah, I've never actually um....gone to see it before. I watched it in grade four at a Halloween party and got traumatized forever, I'm afraid. ^^;;;

XD;

I've never seen it in any form; I want to see it full-scale first.

I've seen it before, but I've never been to a live showing, but I really want to. Hm.

...Aw snap, I didn't check the date - it's this Sat.; I may not be here. But Vancouver is big, there will be opportunities! We have to find someone to take us first, though.

It'd prolly be relatively easy to find an artsy person who's been to it before :D I know a girl in my house who loves RHPS, and Jake's into it too, I think.

... but bugrit, it's this Saturday? Then I kinda definitely can't. Got a friend staying with me. :/ And I think if I took poor Dimitri to a live showing of RHPS he'd be...
.... traumatised, to say the least.

Another time, then XD;

If you'd ever like, I'd be more then happy to help you along with your studies in Japanese. ^_^ And RP's are always go!

Unfortunately, I'm bad at teaching myself things, because I can't get over the initial hump of 'Wow I suck at this', and end up giving up. Hopefully I can get into Japanese 100 next year - it was full by the time I registered this year :\

Aw, now that you shouldn't do! The point of learning is you fumble with it first. If you really want to know it, honestly, the best way is to just start using it in your own head. Ganbatte yo! And no saying you suck at stuff. XD Or people will come hit you with wooden spoons. Which people? That I could not tell you. But I suddenly have a very sketchy mental image of Reno in an apron, brandishing an electro-mag-spoon. D< Beware of Spoon!

(Sorry, a bit too much surgar tonight, apparently...)

I know, it's a bad mindset to have, but I'm so used to learning everything easily that when it comes to stuff like languages, I give up so easily.

I will beware of Spoon, though XD;

I almost envy you that trait. It's the same for me, so when something -doesn't- come to me, it frustrates and obsesses to all ends. *headdesk*

You better! XD;

Hey, at least you get something _done_ that way XD; I just fail.

I will >.>

I lose more brain cells from it then is probably healthy! I think we ought to trade for a few weeks. That way, you'd learn Japanese... unfortunatly, probably sometime -after- you pulled all of your hair out.

That's what wigs and bandanas are for :D!

One of my friends here was going to try and learn Japanese with me, so we could motivate each other, but, uh. Didn't happen. International House has language circles for people looking to improve/learn a second language with native speakers, but I am a wuss >.>

Even cosplayers need a break from the itchy mass of plastic twine that are our wigs every now and again! Free your scalp!

Oh, go. Shoo, shoo. Native speakers are really a -huge- help when it comes to that. Reading it in a book is all well and good, but you'll only really get it stuck up there in your head if you've had it spoken to you, and you've awkwardly stuttered it back a few times. Granted, you might feel foolish at first (I always do... especially now. I'm PITIFUL at German.), but your pride recovers. ^_^ It's worth it, Grasshopper!

Oh the wonders of signing in. ^^; *Fail'D*

Haha, I would be doing that so often if I didn't have all sorts of fancy login things in place XD;

This is true, I suppose. Won't someone thing of the scalps?

My ego is weak, and bruises like a strawberry, though D: I'd also feel lame going in knowing like...ten words XD;

Even Head and Shoulders, which bolsters me with its advertisements about healthy scalps, alas... only really cares about, ironically enough, heads and shoulders (knee and toes too, perhaps.)

But a bruised strawberry can still be used to make a crumble! Mesh in with all of the other 'bruised strawberries', and you'll find the end result will be better then what you expected! Ahah. ^^; Isn't that the POINT of learning a language? You're not supposed to know! If you'd like, I can at least teach you a few rudimentary first lines. As you’ve probably figured out, my schedule tonight isn’t exactly, ah, busy. ^^; *Gets back to CS2.*

Well, I suppose _someone_ has to care about those. I could really go for a shoulder rub right now, I think.

That was the most bizarre analogy ever. Also one of the funniest XD; I used to know more, so I could probably force myself to do a quick refresher, but I'm afraid that all the non-native speakers are going to be like...in third-year Japanese and stuff and thus way better than me.

And now I want strawberries, damn you D: (CS2?)

Kidnap someone to do it for you. With cocoa butter oil!

*Laughs.* I think that's the price paid for trying to be symbolic and motivational at one in the morning. ^^; "Go forth! Be a strawberry crumble, young one!" ...I'll have to remember to baffle someone later with that. Someone said something to me that I found incredibly perceptive; "I don't enjoy my classes this year, because I'm one of the top in my class. I want to be surrounded by people who are smarter then I am; because then I'll really learn." Sounds like your classes lately haven't been setting you up with a real challenge either. C'mon; take a dive, go for it. ^_^ People who are 'way better then you' make for awesome teachers!

Gomen. x_x (I sort of do also, now that you mention it! *Forlorn*)

CS2 = Photoshop! ^_^ Still learning with it.

Yessss >.>

...Goddamnit, hit enter too soon XD;

That quote is getting added to my Google Notebook of inspirational things, you know. Strawberries = motivational! (I caved and went and bought overpriced strawberry-passion fruit juice from the res mini-mart. And marshmallows.)

And yeah, that's totally true. Although I don't necessarily need smarter people in my class, just really tough profs. You may have convinced me, though, although now I just need to remember when they are before they happen, and not after.

Ahh. I need to make CS my bitch for icon-things. Apparently some of the Visual Arts comp labs here have it - I've got regular Photoshop, but it doesn't do foreign characters.

And here I was all, 'Yesssss'... 'Alright, clearly, it's time to leave this person alone, as they are giving me sideways triangle eyes!' XD

You have no idea how jealous I am at the moment. While that's not -exactly- strawberries, and marshmallows aren't -exactly- whipped cream, I'm still wibbling at the knowledge that all I have downstairs are some over-ripe peaches.

I enjoy both. Demanding but erudite professors, and students who aren't air-headed enough that they can keep you engaged in debate. Academic achievement is one thing; sharing it, and knowing that other people are growing along with you is somehow more satisfied. And woot! Super persuasion skills, score! (Sticking Post-Its to your forehead is your friend!)

I didn't have any kind of PS for the longest time, and still managed to make relatively nice icons with Print Shop. I'm just getting used to the fancy-pants wonder that is CS2 for icons as well. If by foreign characters you mean 'writing in other languages' (I assume that's what you mean, but that's a just in case since otherwise I'm about to say something ragingly stupid), did you think of just installing a font pack? That's what I did. They're about 15 dollars.

No, not time to leave me alone XD;

Well, before I impulse-bought that, all I had was noodles, microwave popcorn, and bacon-flavored chips.

This is true, although I'm lucky here if there's someone in life sciences who isn't pre-med. Which isn't to say all pre-med students are dumb, but, uh, can we say grade-whores? I want knowledge. (I think the post-its would fall off D: My forehead is horribly oily lately)

I was using PSP for a while, but a friend gave me a cracked version of PS XD; So I've been learning that. No, I meant the in other languages bit, but, uh. Do font packs handle kanji? Because my problem is that Jo wants an icon with some specific kanji on it, and kanji + PS = fail, apparently.

Bacon-flavored chips... reminds me of school in the UK. Since the peaches didn't work out, and all this talk of Japan... I splurged by making miso-soup. Which has nothing to do with strawberries, and would probably go very badly with! (-Please- by real food. Oi. Seriously, woman, wooden spoons. A whole army of wooden spoons. Microwave popcorn constitutes a projectile, not food! =P)

That's my qualm with pre-med too. They run them right through the gamut of a bazillion classes, so they only have enough time to care about the final grade, rather then indulge in any actual instruction. I thought maybe veterinary science would be a nice deflection of that; science without the after bite or grade-grubbers. Mm, but life sciences sounds yummy; that's awesome. :D I hope you're loving it! (Post-It to someone else's forehead then!)

Mine is cracked too. XD Goth Ninja Thieves, then. And yes, it does! Mine did, at least. Eto... goodness, I'll have to go look for what the -name- of this program is. You could always cheat, find the kanji, and play with opacity to insert it into the icon? Like a texture.

Miso = delicious. I should get Japanese this week >.> (I eat at the cafeteria most of the time - unfortuantely, it closes at 7:30, which is laaaame)

I am a great big life-sciences nerd. Microbiology, yaaaay! They let us use the really nice compound light microscopes in my otherwise lame bio lab last week, and I was jumping up and down and squeeing on the inside. Although I feel like I need a shirt that says 'Yes, I'm in bio. No, I am not pre-med.'

Hm. Lemme know when you figure it out. I'd put it in as an image, but I want it to be attractive, which means trying to track down jpegs online or something, because I can't scan it out of my giant kanji dictionary of doom as I am too white to look things up in it XD;

I can help you with the sex part *smile*

GOD WE HAVE TO SEE RHPS NEXT YEAR.

YES.

Most definately better than THAT.

To the Madame of Fancy Logins:

I have six different accounts, I have to do SOMETHING.

Yowzah! How do you REMEMBER that many?! (Says the girl with 5...)

With incredible skill!

Re: Yowzah! How do you REMEMBER that many?! (Says the girl with 5...)

You're a Login Ninja...

I'm even wearing all-black, too! (oh wait, that's goth, not ninja XD; )

Ninja-Goth? They sneak up behind you and kill you with bad emo poetry!

Oh noes, not emo poetry!
