Misha, I said nothing! Nothing!
We should do something for my birthday!
Get Ben to take me out for a party, or something. Or maybe I could just sit at home and wish I had a life.
Ironic…ain’t it?
aww 
you could swing by my liquor store and buy as much junk food, porn and cigarettes as you want. Ben or Misha will have to get the beer though.
Or…
…we could take you on that birthday crime spree you’ve always wanted to go on. 
I really have nothing to say at the moment but… Ang FRUiTS 0wnz!!! drools I love that mag!!! _ omg I saw this one and these punk dudes were sooooooooooooooo cute. I wanted to ship them to the US and keep them locked in my closet. _
…
Thats Jen, always trying to kidnap someone new each week, lol.
HIYA
I just wanted to say hi to all the peeps in my area.
Is there any gaming girl in the DC metro area?
WHAT UP DOGS!!!
Just thought I would come and drop a line in the new female thread since I posted in the other one sometimes. HEH.
Rubes-I understand what you are going through with all of the questioning games and what not but I can tell you that is a decision that you are gonna have to make on your own because if someone else helps make it and you end up regretting the decision it could affect your relationship with that person mainly for the fact that you are regretting what you did and don’t want to blame yourself so you try to pass the blame off on someone else. Besides You cant stop playing MVC2. That game is mad fun. Come to our next tournament and I guarantee you will not be feeling like this anymore. You will have a blast playing MVC2 and probably Super Turbo and XVSF. So the point I am making is you have to really analyze your take on this and decide for yourself because it is you and your life not ours.IMO
PEACE OUT
Kevin
AkA: Big Sent
And anyone else that wants to come in the female thread and start flaming know that from here on I am keeping watch on this thread and will personally fly to each and everyone of you’s house and smack you up just because I can.
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Cykes infinite 4 life!!!
Yeehaa! Crime spree!! Yeehaa!
Oh and by the way, that Fruits book was SO DOPE! I was inspired to go out and buy all sorts of crazy clothing…too bad I’m a little light in the pocketbook.
Misha! Ben! You guys HAVE to take me clothes shopping ASAP. I need more apparel. Some fresh gear.
Jen, please don’t hate me fo asking, WTF is FRUiTS? Haven’t talked to you in a while, miss hearing from you. IM me sometime. That goes for you too D9, Rubes, and Ang.

FRUiTS is a mag in Japan featuring “Trendy, Trendy” Clothing, I got Angie hip to it back when we lived together, I guess it rubbed off on her shrugs
its not trendy clothes its just odd. if you want trendy go look at Non-No. that’s basic trendy style. stuff like FRUiTS, Kera, Egg, and Cutie are for the more experimental types. FRUiTS is the colaboration on all types. Kera = gothic lolita, jrock, punk and some cutie. Egg = yamambas and Cutie is exactly that. cutie fashion. also like jpop fashion. so cute and colorful its revolting. only reason I love FRUiTS is because of the punk boys and the gothic lolita girls. I normally try and make my own clothes from looking at what they have.
Dr Ben: I have numerous ideas for where to shop if you like those weird fashions. tell me what you’re looking for and I’m sure I can find it on eBay for under $15. 
No, I said “Trendy, Trendy”, You misunderstood me.
Trendy = Cool, tight, fresh, etc. in Japanese Slang
It’s prononuced “Tou-rIIIn-dy” that is in a nutshell all of the styles grouped together.
i.e. Techno = Drum & Bass, Trance, Jungle, etc.
Trendy, Trendy = Egg, Pop, Punk, Stoner, etc.
You have that fetish TOO!!! OMG! Youre only the second girl Ive met who has this urge to keep people. 'Cept I wanna keep them in huge glass jars. Only my friend Ahren gets my closet. And the vodka. And the poptarts…
FRUITS kicks ass! I got two gift cards for Borders and finally bought the book. I saw a new FRUITS mag on ebay I was going to buy but Im trying to be better about my spending…heh heh. Everytime I look thru the book thou I see new stuff I hadnt noticed before. Ive fallen in love with Swear shoes. BRIGHT COLORS!!! Their like the Lawrence kid-punks only amplified. I dont like the croqueted “grandma” look though. Bleh… I never have. That style should DIE!!
Weeks - BenRa needs to get some new stuff too, and you KNOW Im always up for shopping and weird stuff. I get my paycheck next week and I still have that shitload off hot topic dicount cards so that can be at least one stop for fun shirts. I still want my “You Suck” bunny rabbit top. Taco has good taste in clothes though, you might have to take her up on her offer too.
I have so much sewing to do to fix up some of my clothes. Im so lazy about projects. I finally bought some sewing glue so I think Im going to start taking some of my stuff to work for something to do for break.
Hey guys, I need a bit of advice.
You all know I work for a shitty company. The managers treat us like three year olds and we often arent allowed to talk to our co-workers without getting written up. Everything is tightly regulated and you get punished for mistakes even if its their outdated computer systems fault.
I just got a job offer from a small company I applied to a couple of months ago. This company seems good, flexible, Id keep the job through the school year and the management has a hands on relationship with its employees, which is something I highly value. The only problem is they pay 7.00hr while Im getting paid 8.00 at my current job. Thats like a 40 bucks difference for one week and 80 bucks for two weeks…plus I can potentially make hella overtime at the one Im currently at.
Advice anyone? I dont want to take the pay cut, but I dont want to be miserable either… The manager at the potential company offered to re-interview me and show me the ropes and even train me a little to see if I wanted the job. She said with my experience if I would take a leadership role I could probably get a raise fairly soon, but it still prob wouldnt approach what Im making now…SIGH Im going to discuss this with my family since Im trying to save up for college but my nerves may be shot by the end of this summer with this current job…
D9: I say take the paycut with the more compatible job at this other company. no matter how much money you make it’s not worth the misery you’re suffering right now. I was going through something similar at Musician’s Friend and decided to leave and work at this small proprietorship (liquor store) and I actually like going to work at the store. the people are cool, hours are good and pay is reasonable.
you’re happiness as an employee is more important babe. otherwise you’ll burn out or go postal a lot quicker at your current job.
good luck sweetie with whatever you decide to do.
TC: yeah we love FRUITS!!! I originally made that AV for someone else but he didn’t want to use it. shrugs
I’d say take the paycut. its what I’m going to be doing. I work for a Dept of Justice right now and its soooooo not fun working with lawyers. I practically wanna have a stroke every time I come home. so I have an interview coming up at Hot Topic. I’d rather work somewhere where I don’t have to confine myself to a strict dress code and lack of communication. that and I feel like my cubby is getting smaller and smaller each day. 
It all depends on what you’re working for. If you really need the money, sometimes you have to suffer through with a really shitty job to get it. If you’re mainly using the money as spending cash, then you have the option of going to the easier, more comfortable job.
I’ve been at a job for 4 years, and have worked my way up to being the manager of a small health food restaurant. Basically I’m in charge and make all the decisions, which is a LOT of stress on me. I also only make $7.40 an hour, what a ripoff. But I have the power to dictate my hours whenever I want. Thats why I can take off time to go to ECC, MWC and EVL…I tell the boss I’m going, and he gives me the time off no matter what. So I’m suffering in a really shitty job, with shitty pay, for the sake of being able to take off hours when I need to for schoolwork, trips, etc.
I don’t know if any of this has helped, but my advice is that if you don’t absolutely need the extra buck that they’re paying you right now, then go to the easier job. I know firsthand how much it sucks to be stuck in a job that you hate, but at least I’m there because it has a fringe benefit that you can’t get anywhere else. The extra buck isn’t enough in my opinion to stay…
D9, darling, take the easier job. I went through the same thing and in the end I would have rather had no job than stay at the one I had. The stress and the feeling of miserableness is not worth the money, because eventually you can make the money again.
It’s like being in a relationship where there’s something obviously wrong and keeps going wrong: the stress of staying and trying to be patient isn’t worth it when you can find it elsewhere.
Not to really change the subject, I took a few days off and thought about what I wanted to do about games. Right now I’m going through a lot of changes in my life, self-imposed changes, and I realized that some things had to change in order for me to even be able to keep going on and be healthy. Videogames have been my life for 14 years. Sometimes they make me want to go out and do something horrible but for along time it was the way I met people and set me apart from everyone else that I knew and made me unique.
I have seen the ugly side of videogames and I have seen the fun side of games. It’s the fun side that keeps me wanting to play and learn new things. For right now, though, I have decided to stick with them and concentrate on the games that I have fun with, instead of staying with MvC2 which had, in the past, turned me against playing games altogether. I don’t like the game and like Angie said, I need to step back. I’m going to still play it but it won’t rule my life and make me become what I saw it turn my best friend into.
I want to thank everyone for trying to help me and taking the time to give advice. I really appreciate it.
I won’t be on for a while because I have a family emergency at the moment. My uncle was put into the hospital the other night because he apparently had a stroke. At first they thought it was mild but it turns out it may have been more. So while I’m worrying about that and my relationship problems once again, I don’t think I’m going to be on SRK for awhile. I didn’t want you guys to think I’ve totally dropped off the face of the earth or I forgot about you. I haven’t and I won’t.
Rubes
Rubes, sorry to hear about your uncle. I will keep him and your family in my prayers this week. I’m glad to hear that you are focusing your energies on other priorities in your life right now, but that you are not completely giving up games altogether. I hope everything works out for you and hope to see you back on the boards here soon. good luck to you sweetie.
hugs
Ang:cool:
