Clean closets? Those aren’t just oddities, they’re physical impossibilities.
…how was the ramen?
February 17, 2008 at 09:41
Actually, my closet is pretty clean. This is doubtless only because I barely use it, though.
February 17, 2008 at 14:08
Looking back on this, I see that it must mean that my closet doesn’t exist. And yet, then where have I put my stuff, if not in the closet in my room? But it apparently doesn’t exist, so maybe it’s not really a closet… *confused*
February 17, 2008 at 15:01
I have a clean closet to prove that they aren’t physical impossibilities. My mom made me clean my room. Cleaned my closet instead ’cause I might actually finish it.
The ramen was quite good. A little salty, though. I grated a carrot and some cheese and put that in too. *yum*
February 17, 2008 at 15:15
I think my closet should cancel out at least one of yours, what with the four feet of I don’t know what piled up and the near-inability to open it…(well, all right, that was due to a poster holding triangular prism blocking the sliding door, but it is only a further example of the all-pervasive mess.)
February 17, 2008 at 15:44
I think we should nuke your closet from orbit and just stand back otherwise it’ll invade and take over.
February 17, 2008 at 22:44
Unfortunately, you’re probably right.
February 18, 2008 at 09:20
I’m thinking (again, something bad is going to happen if I keep this up…)that I could paint a vine up the door jamb on my closet.
*annoys parents*
February 18, 2008 at 22:14
My closet is somewhat organized, except for the usual tangle of pant/skirt hangers.
My room, on the other hand, is a complete mess right now.
February 19, 2008 at 18:38
I threw out a bunch of hangers. I wasn’t entirely sure hangers could be thrown out, given their persistencey of hanging around.
February 19, 2008 at 21:57
Yeah, complete mess, potato chip. Right.
I maintain that my room is a disaster area, and the definitive standard for mess. As I type this leaning against the dodecahedron head at the foot of my bed, looking out at the chair covered with something in a tangle of wires, said chair behind a barrier of papers and books melding into a trunk with clothes and stuff generally lumped into and around it. The corner behind me was eaten by the bookshelf, and that wall is blocked by the marching trombone. That wall is mostly closet anyway, which you do not want to open.
February 19, 2008 at 22:26
It is! Well, I vacuumed and dusted a little bit this afternoon, but otherwise, it’s messier than ever. Maybe that isn’t saying much, but it’s bothering me. (No, of course I’m not OCD… :))
That description of your room sounds similar to how it was when I last saw it. I think it would be fun to open your closet and possibly be crushed by the contents!
February 19, 2008 at 22:43
My closet, and room as a whole is surprisingly clean right now. I wonder how long this will last…
February 20, 2008 at 19:07
potatochip- I actually looked inside annie’s closet. It was scary…
February 20, 2008 at 20:10
Unless this was fairly recently, it’s only gotten worse…
edit: and does anyone else find it randomly funny that we’ve spent most of the thread talking about how messy my closet is?
February 22, 2008 at 20:08
Your party.
I’m going to kill the February thread because I feel the need to kill something…
March 7, 2008 at 15:27
Go check the what page. It keeps changing…
March 7, 2008 at 22:41
Yeah…
so, I just noticed that the home page redirects to (or is) “Also Home.” I find that amusing.
I am so going to print and post on a posterboard my science fair project now. It needs to be done by approximately 9 hours from now, and I’m useless in the mornings…
March 8, 2008 at 19:20
Yeah. Somewhere in the beginning, I killed the original home page… So I just linked it to Also Home and then I had a home page. It works well enough.
March 14, 2008 at 18:26
There’s a post by Anonymous on Also Home listed in the Recent Comments.
I assume this is part of the “unresolved weirdness”…
March 14, 2008 at 18:49
Very much so. That would be me as anonymous on a thread that doesn’t exist. It was also telling me that I had posted that before even though I had said no such thing (on any other thread). Meh. Some pics and comics will go up tonight. With luck.
March 17, 2008 at 16:58
Ah.
where are the new pictures referenced on the home/also home page?

are linky things. Or you can go to comics and click on their names which will take you to the pages. Sorry about it being so obscure.
March 17, 2008 at 19:02
you make me feel sad because I haven’t updated in forever, and here you are with new pages.
March 18, 2008 at 17:59
I had some time… I need a life badly. Very badly.
March 18, 2008 at 22:27
No, you don’t. You need IM. That eats lives, and it’s fun. Just delete the chat logs if you share the computer…
March 18, 2008 at 22:31
Yes, get AIM. Also, make it easier to find the pictures. x_x
March 19, 2008 at 16:21
YAY!!! glasseh is back! *is happy*
It eats lives. Precisely why I don’t want AIM. Fencing, marching band, and my blog have eaten my life… To the point where I haven’t read a book in a week or two. *gasps*
March 19, 2008 at 19:56
It’s been five months since marching band… (I count the months… three until it starts, about. I mean, look at Self Called Nowhere (rough draft especially) to see how badly I deal with its absence), but you’re not busy now… You can quit aim for a month or two, I did in nano.
Fencing doesn’t keep you busy on weekends.
Homework isn’t that bad.
…with all that said, I finish my homework in only an hour or two, and the theremin is in sad condition. sad. When I pass it to get a Muse for Lisa from the basement, it cries at me.
March 19, 2008 at 20:31
penguini, I have been here. I just haven’t bothered to post because I haven’t seen a reason to.
March 21, 2008 at 07:37
Happy Easter. My grandparents are coming so I won’t be back for a while.*cries*
I don’t want to pay. *shudder*
Ah, OK. Thanks, glassy
March 21, 2008 at 16:03
No problem. ^_^
March 25, 2008 at 15:20
You killed the Peep. Killed it. It was going to have a long and happy life, but no…
*has had four hours or less of sleep* Not to say that I would have said something different with more sleep, but I can’t tell now what’s going on…
March 25, 2008 at 16:52
hahaha. *doesn’t feel sorry for peep* That had a nice soul…All soft and melty and marshmallowy. ^_^
March 25, 2008 at 20:58
You ate its soul?
…cool. I have at times wondered what souls taste like. Now I know, at least souls of marshmallow creatures. What do other things taste like?
March 25, 2008 at 22:07
Eh…It depends. I could give you one sometime…
March 26, 2008 at 19:54
Peeps are really really good microwaved. They are all melty and sticky and totally gross people out. Y’have to eat them quick otherwise they harden and get disgusting.
YaY soul-eating. We can have a soul feast and terrorize people with our soul-less marshmallow peeps! *suddenly becomes hyperactive*
*is happy*
March 27, 2008 at 15:04
…I have nothing to say to that…
March 27, 2008 at 20:02
lol. I am also initially uncertain how to react.
…how many of them did you eat before you posted that? Can’t be sleep deprivation like the rest of us, you don’t have AIM and get obscene amounts of sleep for a schoolnight. As in, easily at least 150% of the sleep I get.
March 28, 2008 at 14:45
I ate those two about 5 hours before I posted that…
Today was Grim Reaper Day.
http://www.sadd.org/campaign/grim.htm
That’s how it’s supposed to work. We signed up to die. I died first period. We had white ‘X’s on both cheeks. We weren’t allowed to talk to anybody. At the end of the day, we lined up outside and stood there all dressed in black. I borrowed eyeliner and got tears too.
Squeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
March 28, 2008 at 18:09
That was amusing, once I figured out what was going on.
March 28, 2008 at 19:54
Okay, first of all, why wasn’t I notified of this?
Second, we need to do this at my school next year. With me as DEATH. :D
March 28, 2008 at 19:59
You weren’t notified because I signed up to die this morning pre-homeroom. So I didn’t know either.
I’m sure you could organize it yourself… :)
You get to wear a black cape and miss an entire day of school…killing people!
*dies*
March 30, 2008 at 12:48
Nice new avatar, Glassy!
*dies again*
March 30, 2008 at 16:49
Thanks. ^_^
April 8, 2008 at 18:53
There might be massive restructering of the blog whenI get around to using a computer that doesn’t take 2 minutes to load a page.
April 8, 2008 at 19:02
Ooh. Sweet. *adminified*
April 11, 2008 at 18:14
yeah.
Grades came in. Looks like it’s going to be a loooooonnnnnnnnnnnng weekend. *sigh*
April 11, 2008 at 20:31
:(
I got mine too… my math grade wasn’t completely horrible! Still my lowest(I think).
April 12, 2008 at 16:03
:( :( :( :( :(
April 13, 2008 at 21:43
Grades?!?
And of course I’m far far away… :( My math grade’s probably my worst because I didn’t pay attention this quarter, but it has to be around a 92 at least.
April 13, 2008 at 21:46
Oh, and the main page is having issues. As in, issues existing. Is Also Home gone too?(currently in internet explorer 6, but idk if that’s it. And dad made me promise to not install anything.)
April 14, 2008 at 06:38
It has issues for me too…
We just had another cumulative test in math on Friday, and I think I did a lot better on this one. Maybe because I actually payed attention to and did the review packets, but there was also more review than before. :)
April 14, 2008 at 07:41
I think its supposed to have issues right now. I’ll fix it eventually…when I’ve figured out what I’m doing.
I should do the review packet…soon…
April 16, 2008 at 19:28
Oh, and about the new subtitle. Hell is not other people at breakfast, or at least, there are worse things. Such as family vacations. Five days in close confinement with only family members. By the third day, I was beginning to fantasize about what I would say/do when I got back online. By the plane ride home, I’d decided on something like this:
“Glassy, may I borrow your scythe? That’s scythe as in sharp knifey thing, not ‘scythe’, although both would be nice. *kills sister, and possibly parents* Thank you. They were bothering me. Now, what was going on while I was away?”
I’m somewhat better now. Spent most of the afternoon taking apart two jewelry screwdrivers and making them into a useful necklace with some copper wire. I will wear it always and be able to take apart so many new and interesting things!
April 19, 2008 at 13:10
Ahhhhhh, I can’t reply in the title anymore. >.<
I’m DEATH, you can’t kill me. I don’t live, I just am. And if I don’t live I can’t die. But I can still kill you.
April 20, 2008 at 11:20
Both of you have been de-adminified. I might reinstate you if you promise to behave.
April 20, 2008 at 17:14
It wasn’t me! *points finger at DEATH*
April 20, 2008 at 17:21
both of you!
April 20, 2008 at 21:24
He started it! I just occasionally contributed SLIGHTLY to the chaos! *I* didn’t create any of the new threads, and the only theme changes I made were back to Emire once or twice.
April 21, 2008 at 19:11
Oy, I put it back…
November 26, 2008 at 09:10
I am supposed to be cleaning my closet right now. *looks to make sure parents cannot see laptop
November 26, 2008 at 16:25
I actually did clean my closet. It was pretty epic.

Aren’t closets those things which contain the matter that passes through the event horizon of black holes?

December 2, 2008 at 22:46
People know me?
Something tells me I might have met you… German engineered intuition?
Hell, I don’t know me half the time… unfortunately, my other half is 300+ miles away, so I can’t know myself fully at the moment…
…on a completely different note, Der Doktor ist hier.
Herr is kinda like Mr. in English….
Der is the masculine form of the, Doktor is obvious, ist = is, hier (pronounced heer, because in Deutsch, ie = ee and ei = hard I) means here… (of course, you could say in, which would be im, but that sounds rather odd…)

On a COMPLETELY different note, who knows their MBTI type?

How the HELL did I comment before everyone else? It’s only 21:06 but I see comments from 21:16, 21:44, and 21:50…
…weird…
December 3, 2008 at 22:32
Well, now that it’s 22:31, I suppose my comments will be in their rightful place at the front again… right?
^^^(See comment above at 21:07)^^^
edit- you know that lovely poofing noise that comments make as they disappear off the face of the blagophere? I like that sound…
December 4, 2008 at 20:10

If your comment has disappeared during the shuffling, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS OUTRAGE

INFJ.
Introverted (I) 77.42% Extroverted (E) 22.58%
Intuitive (N) 52.63% Sensing (S) 47.37%
Feeling (F) 51.72% Thinking (T) 48.28%
Judging (J) 58.82% Perceiving (P) 41.18%
As before, I’m really close to 50-50 on Intuitive/Sensing and Feeling/Thinking.
looking at the other I and J descriptions, I’m pretty sure I’m not S, so the test was right in that respect. but the descriptions aren’t very good, in my opinion… negative and depressing, especially the INFJ one.
December 4, 2008 at 23:00
Wiki articles suck… try reading other places…
…the main question in it is whether or not you think it describes you…
…I’m an INTJ/INTP. It’s about 51/49…
Realistically, I think the whole thing’s bullshit, but that comes from my own beliefs that everyone is individualistic. However, it is true that you can make it vague enough that you can indeed sort people into 16 groups.
Depressing? Maybe. Interesting? To me.
The real question I have is whether or not you have self confidence.
…I find it interesting how much of the female population seem to lack that trait…
On another note, who here thinks they’re depressed? If so, why?
December 5, 2008 at 06:15
I was talking about the articles on the jung test you linked to. I actually found the wikipedia articles more informative, because they talked about dominant cognitive functions and such.
Parts of it describe me, parts of it don’t.
I agree… it doesn’t really mean anything to me.
I have self confidence about my intelligence and musical abilities. social skills and appearance, not so much… *shrugs*
Not really. I was a little depressed earlier this week, but I think I’m ok now. Not going to answer the why question, as it’s too complicated and I don’t want to post it here. Overall, no.
December 6, 2008 at 00:25
Anyone seen that one personality description so vaguely worded that most people said it applied to them?
test on high school guidance future-planning whatever website says INTP
similarminds says INFP, specifically “Introverted (I) 62.96% Extroverted (E) 37.04%
Intuitive (N) 66.67% Sensing (S) 33.33%
Feeling (F) 53.33% Thinking (T) 46.67%
Perceiving (P) 69.7% Judging (J) 30.3%”
I self-diagnose with wiki as INFP, but with the Myers-Briggs website descriptions as INTJ.
The problems I have with these is that I am logical, except for in relationships, where I ignore all sense and make unwise decisions and hope for the impossible…
December 6, 2008 at 08:54
Hehehehe…
December 6, 2008 at 13:12
tetra? No REALLY?
Eh, I’m not really that different.
Just out of curiosity, who chose the new theme? It’s *nice*. gack
Depressed? Who me? Why would you think that? I no I’m not going to tell you.
December 6, 2008 at 13:30
It was a generalized question.
…the new theme is still too bloody bright…
December 7, 2008 at 09:53
Blah. Go back to the old nice dark theme. -_-
December 7, 2008 at 10:28
See! I’m not alone!
December 7, 2008 at 11:12
This theme is better than penguini’s choice for purple things. I changed it to this in deference to her wish to not have a dark theme. I miss having numbers near people’s comments. I’d still prefer Emire.
December 7, 2008 at 14:01
This any better?
I’ll get it fully ironed out if people like it after I get various outlines done/more-or-less finished.
December 7, 2008 at 14:45
This theme isn’t as painful (the purple was almost ok, the pink seriously hurt my eyes), but why is the comment box at the top?
Apparently, I can edit people’s comments and stuff but can’t change the theme, so I can’t do anything to fix that…
Emire was the original theme, right? I miss the numbers too.
December 7, 2008 at 16:30
…the fuck?
Meh no likey the comment box at the top… and this kinda seems little too…
“fresh”
Seconded for original theme.
December 7, 2008 at 17:22
hmm, numbers.
Glassy? Dark enough for you?
a pity about that original theme…
*rummages around*
I have nothing to say about the header except ‘sarcasm’.
Feel free to stab me for the absence of the recent comments. The widgets don’t love me.
December 7, 2008 at 18:50
uhh… To quote Frank Scelsa (ask during lunch tomorrow)
“Fundamentally, life is ironic.”
December 7, 2008 at 20:04
I miss the old theme…:( This one’s fine, much better than the light ones, but there aren’t numbers. And the widgets don’t seem to work yet.
December 8, 2008 at 21:34
…well, I’d rather have this than those other two, even if this one makes your blog seem like the smartest kid with down syndrome…
December 8, 2008 at 21:35
PS – Do a live bookmark of the site (RSS Feed) to get recent comments… Works for me.
December 8, 2008 at 23:40
yeah, I’ll go fix stuff when it’s *before* 23:30, but it is duly noted that recent comments need me to glare at them. Go work on your outline.
also, since lunch does not seem to be the time to ask things, explain please?
December 9, 2008 at 17:19
I could fix it if admin privileges were restored to me…
December 9, 2008 at 17:25
…but it’s much easier to fix without admin privileges…
*pulls out flamethrower*
edit- y’know that burning stuff is not always the answer… As much as it is fun. *pulls out own flamethrower, threatens the doktor.*
December 9, 2008 at 18:09
I don’t think I ever had admin privileges, just editor ones. so I probably wouldn’t be that helpful with fixing the recent comments even if I did, because I don’t have any experience with the widgets.
I use the RSS feed too.
and the theme is back to normal! yay!
December 9, 2008 at 19:39
RSS feeders unite!
(shape of… a computer! form of… a frustrated penguini attempting to figure out xhtml/javascript)
(Super Friends reference…)
December 9, 2008 at 21:38
I lol’d…
actually, not any xhtml/javascript. WordPress makes it easy, there are widgets that you can enable. Also makes it harder to fix if they don’t work right, though.
ok. It says there are two widgets in the sidebar. A list of used widgets offers all the ones that used to be in use, however, and I can’t add another copy of them.
conclusion: They have fallen into a black hole somewhere on the blog.
solution: change to a lighter theme so that the black hole goes away.
edit: This did not work. wordpress forums say that other people are having issues too. I’m commenting on a thread about widgets and asking support. And returning the theme.
December 10, 2008 at 13:00
Gott in Himmel! Easy my arse…
I hate it when they do that… I really do…
Oh, and that probably comes from their non-standard coding practices…
December 10, 2008 at 17:30
I have an idea that may be fatal to the blag. If it works, all will be shiny. If it doesn’t, who knows…
A *long* time ago, around the time of the wars, I made a backup of the blag. If I make another one of [insert current date and time], kill this one, restore the other one and then import all of the threads and pages and stuff.
It *should* work.
Or we could just wait and see if WordPress gets a fix in at some point.
Oh, and doktor? I am not going to let you near the coding here. I don’t trust you that much.
December 10, 2008 at 17:46
…you trust me at all?

Hi,
Sorry for the problems. We have a widgets bug right now. We’ll let you know when it is fixed.

xhtml could be fun, I wish I had an excuse to learn it. JavaScript I distrust, because Java is so icky.
December 10, 2008 at 18:06
whoohoo looks like I pulled the short stick on themes here
I don’t trust you that much doesn’t mean that I don’t trust you at all. It just means that I won’t make you an admin or let you near the coding. And to probably misanticipate your next response, I love you too.
December 10, 2008 at 18:21
@penguini
Nope, wasn’t going for that one. My point was that I’m surprised you trust me in any capacity, as, well… Generally people don’t.
I don’t love you.
@tetra
For shits and giggles, XHTML is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much cleaner than HTML, and javascript isn’t java (believe it or not), it’s sorta cool, but it’s too much for me to care enough to learn about…
However, I’ll bring in my dummies book tomorrow if I can remember… If I do, I’ll give it to penguini so she can pass it on to you during band or somethin…
December 10, 2008 at 18:38
so I was wrong as expected. I can see why people don’t trust you as I am among them. The last quip had a quantity of sarcasm. The problem with text is that inflected sarcasm doesn’t come across so well. *confuses self, wanders off*
ooh! new reading!
December 10, 2008 at 18:44
doktor- I know javascript is not the same as java, but I can’t really *believe* it… paranoid self thinks “if they’re different, then how come they have the same name?”
Also, I don’t mistrust you yet.
December 10, 2008 at 18:46
*yet*
December 10, 2008 at 18:59
Why doth thou think it sarcasm?
…I never said I should be mistrusted, I just never seem to make people feel in the presence of one to be trusted…

The little voice in my head sounded hell of sarcastic. *sighs, glares at voice for not making itself clear to others*
Can I get back to you on the second part? I need to think how to say what I mean, or at least what I mean, without making a total fool of myself. I am so good at that. *another sigh*
December 10, 2008 at 19:24
It was rhetorical, but if you want to, sure.
To answer my own question, depression is something that comes and goes with me, it’s like a warm blanket when I don’t have anything else, but it’s an unwelcome guest when I do…
…it’s weird…
Of course, I’m talking about the feeling of being depressed, not prolonged depression. That’s a different story.
December 10, 2008 at 19:25
gee, I wonder why people tend not to trust you…
(see? sarcasm!)
edit: oh look a simultaneous post at a bad time. I will add related content…
It’s nice being happy but sometimes stuff sucks in a prolonged manner. when that happens, I tend to no longer be happy. It hasn’t happened in a while… I try not to bother people around me because they have more and better reasons to be depressed. (I mean, it’s just marching band. It’s everything, but I’m not going to do something stupid, just listen to music and cry for a while. It’s just some people. I don’t need to belong. Nothing now really matters.) I am in a good way now, more or less.
December 10, 2008 at 19:32
Why do you think you have little confidence tetra?
December 10, 2008 at 19:43
stop typing faster than I think…
I don’t, do I? (I didn’t just say that he doesn’t like me because I doubt myself. I see the way he pays no more (less, if anything) attention to me than to other people he knows. I’ve known him for years, and he says I’m violent and crazy. Not exactly endearments, although he mainly says it to annoy me.)
When else have I had little self-confidence?
December 10, 2008 at 19:49
You have little self confidence in socializing with others, which I suppose you could call social retardation, but I chose to use the term lack of self confidence. You can’t look people in the eye for prolonged periods because you feel threatened (as far as I can tell).
As for him, whomever he may be, I think you put a lot of emphasis on someone whom you don’t exactly know, as far as their true disposition towards you goes. Have you tried asking? (Even though I sense it’s somewhat of a dead issue now…)
…sorry, it’s a curse. I generally think about 3 moves ahead of everything all of the time, always thinking about what will happen, what won’t happen, and what could happen, and then going two steps into each branch of that…
…Thus why I think INTJ suits me rather well…
December 10, 2008 at 20:07
I am okay with being awkward. I am okay with being understood and not awkward too, but that doesn’t happen very often. Awkward is amusing, and if I’m in control of it making people laugh is a good thing.
I can look people in the eye, but staring contests are pointless and I don’t like them. Yes, I find it threatening when you stare at me, but combined with some of your other traits (older than I am, physically intimidating, not known to be safe and sometimes makes decidedly unsafe comments) I don’t think that’s worthy of alarm. If I had to look back, I would, but I don’t see why I should if I can ask you to stop staring at me.
I don’t like lots of people looking at me when I’m not in some sort of character. Sometimes they’re not nice.
If I ask him, he’ll know I like him, and in my experience that means that bad things will happen if I’m not careful. I don’t think I can be careful enough, and I still want to be able to talk to him without things being too weird. I’m not completely socially inept, either- I can pick up on things sometimes. And I’d rather be pleasantly surprised than have to deal with the fallout from other alternatives.
I don’t mind this. It’s strange, but good, seeing other perspectives on what I do.
December 10, 2008 at 20:10
*Some* things that are simultaneously annoying and depressing me are the world outline and the english project that have the same problem: no matter how hard I work on them, I’m always 20 pages/cards away from the end. The other similarly unimportant but still bothersome thing is my version of “social retardation”. Meaning my inability to be coherent when I’m confused/bothered by something/angry/in a situation where I have no precedence for behavior. (mimicking has gotten me this far, it can get me farther, right?)
tetra? I hate to break it to you, but you are violent and crazy and timid. You try really hard to not be noticed and then you do something completely unexpected. The you’re very peaceful and long tempered right up until you bash somebody’s head in with that binder.
And this is a fine example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Only not so much on the timid part. But I can’t tell, because I’m on the inside and I see/think what should be there rather than what is. Opinions anyone? I don’t mind people being brutally honest.
@the doktor. I think people don’t trust you because you confuse them/slightlytoalot creep them out. Keeping in mind the second-to-previous sentence, of course.
I think I may have just said what I mean, or at least a close approximation to it. I’ll probably have to go back and make changes to make it right, though. *optimism*
edit- the binder thing. You surprise people with the complete unexpectedness of the attack/whatever else you do. I expect you to have a screwdriver, book, calculator, other book, notebook, a rust spring, pencil/pen, useful bit of information. Other people don’t and when you spring the [object/information] on them, they get freaked out. Especially when you come out of nowhere. I did remember to tell you that J said you scared him, right?
December 10, 2008 at 20:10
To be honest, I’ve always told people when I like them… It’s how I found out whether or not they actually liked me.
December 10, 2008 at 20:17
seems straight forward, practical and surprising for whoever is being told.
As to thinking three moves ahead of everything else and then extrapolating another two, that’s normal right? I do that, get an answer I DON’T like at all, try again, get another answer I still don’t like but may be better or worse and has a possibility for being funny(for someone who is not me). Then I run away and hide because the moment has passed and I’ve messed up(again).
December 10, 2008 at 20:21
@penguini
I keep people on their feet to get straight answers…
Marked with inability to clearly read people’s true disposition towards themselves, INTJs compensate for it with their acquired ability to piss people off. This is a rather defensive than an offensive mechanism. It works on the principle that an angry person has very little control over their emotions and therefore cannot suppress their true feelings, which often keeps the truth from coming out. INTJs normally do not apply this principle to anybody unless they are unsure. So as long as you are true and sincere with an INTJ you should be fine.
…sorry for the continued psych bullshit, but it’s true…
December 10, 2008 at 20:25
I piss myself off. I try not to piss other people off, especially ones who can ruin my life(further), like my mother who is insisting I get off 25 minutes ago. So, one that note, g’night all and don’t hurt anybody.
oh, does it say anything that I am *slightly* more comfortable inside a chat? (woo text based interface)
I find this conversation fascinating as long as I don’t think about it too much. As soon as I start doing that, it starts scaring me. A lot.
December 10, 2008 at 20:38
penguini- I know what you mean about being incoherent… as time passes, there are fewer new situations, and it’s easier, right? I tend to have a serious case of l’espirit d’escalier when things happen, and then afterward remember what I would have said and say it.
I want people to notice me, but I want to belong. Which means blending in, to a certain extent. When I don’t have much to say and people aren’t going to an effort to include me, this leads to fading into the background.
I don’t know about timid. I don’t think of myself as timid.
I never said I wasn’t violent or crazy, but I thought I’ve been better controlled this year? I haven’t hit anyone with the binder in a while, present company excluded. They can usually duck out of the way… no, even counting failed attempts, it’s a better record. And before I throw things at people, I check to see if they have sharp edges! (actually I don’t throw things at people anymore. Not worth the mockery, and I don’t carry around things I don’t want back. And I have terrible aim.)
I can’t judge you. We’ve become too similar.
doktor- You’re socially expected to do that, though. Traditionally, guys ask girls out. You’re also… less shy I guess, and more confident… I concede the point. But I’m still not going to ask him. He’ll probably find out soon enough, since other people are beginning to know, and there’s no easy segue into the topic, and we don’t really talk when we’re close enough to alone. And all these other excuses.
another edit. I can’t do this in real time. In chats I don’t think about what I say as much, that’s how I manage.
penguini- Yeah, I know, but that still surprises me. J’s the scary one. And I believe in being prepared for things. I always have duct tape, for example. You never know when you’ll need to <strike>tape someone’s mouth shut</strike> attach things to each other. Screwdrivers make it easy to take stuff apart, which is fun and good to enable. I found the rusty spring on the ground and was up to date on tetanus shots. A computer might have a broken boot sector and require my live CD urgently. And so on. I like random facts.
It scares me how easily I justify things. I have a feeling that it means I have some deep-seated psycholgical problem… I’m also paranoid and narcissictic…
December 10, 2008 at 21:29
Why should you need to justify things? If the world ran on that, we’d be screwed on Bush…
December 11, 2008 at 18:03
l’esprit d’escalier? I *love* l’esprit d’escalar! We’re best friends! (it’s also called treppenwitz)
As time passes…there are more people that I may or may not know but still somehow wind up talking to me, new situations to mess up, people to offend by accident. The old stuff gets easier, it’s just that the new stuff *seems* to be a lot harder. What is really strange and freaky(to me): passerby:”I like your hat!” me: holycrapsomeonejustcomplimentedmewhatdoIdo?!”uh…thanks?” passerby: *funny look at my slow response*
Timid isn’t the right word…It’s just that I’m not sure what the right one is(yet). And, yes, you are better about not hitting people, which is good. The attack is still unexpected. Some of the victims likely think that the attack was unwarranted, which might be part of the problem.
I’ve found that mimicking the people around you helps with the belonging slightly. A sudden change will scare them more, a little change every day/week they won’t notice. Of course I managed to assimilate myself by complete accident into the other group of nutcases I hang out with. I *did* spend a lot of time standing on the outside of a circle and getting yelled at by T(at least in the beginning).
The ‘us becoming too similar’ thing is creepy. And true. We should stop that maybe?
doktor- It may be the way you stare at people that scares them. And then you do something that is completely random and probably creepy, which reinforces the fear and the ‘what will he do next?’ Then you just stare at them again.
Would someone be so kind as to point out some of my major flaws? I’d kind of like to find out who/what other people think I am.
December 11, 2008 at 18:15
@penguini
With pleasure.
You’re short, your hair is always kinda a mess, you sometimes get into conversations which don’t really amuse those that you think are listening, you’re not really too girly, you have an air of feeling that you’re better than others, you wear strange things which, as far as I can tell, only stand to amuse those who happen to gaze upon you, and tend to allude to your suffering in life, yet don’t allow many to view it through the looking glass, which sorta screws you over for relationships (boyfriend or otherwise)…
On the flip side, you have great eyes, a personality anyone could love, and enough confidence that you tend to lead things, but only when it seems that nobody else is going to.
December 11, 2008 at 18:21
Penguini- Major flaws? I can’t really see flaws in other people unless they’re VERY obvious. Very good at finding them in myself though.
December 11, 2008 at 18:24
@wingy
Well that’s no good… Cannot you find one who shares your strife?
December 11, 2008 at 18:26
I don’t know. It would be easier if knew exactly what my strife is, but seems to be constantly changing.
December 11, 2008 at 18:28
I see.
December 11, 2008 at 18:35
Introverted (I) 68.75% Extroverted (E) 31.25%

I hate going to extremes. I think I only hit a button besides the middle 3 four times.
December 11, 2008 at 18:38
*ironic laughter*
Sorry, but it’s rather fun finding those as cursed as I.
December 11, 2008 at 18:42
hmmm…
knew that, suspected that, I must stop doing that, yeah, hmmm(I didn’t know that, must fix), that’s very interesting. I’ll have to reconsider my take on that and figure out how to let others look look through the proverbial looking glass. *ponders*
Thanks. *stammers, blushes, looks everywhere except the doktor*
I lead only when the situation bothers me enough to bother/I feel the need to make something happen my way, rather than theirs.
That was interesting. Thanks.
December 11, 2008 at 18:43
No prob.
December 11, 2008 at 18:52
What about me? How do I seem “through the looking glass”?
December 11, 2008 at 19:02
I kind of missed the part where it was explained exactly what the metaphorical looking glass was…
I want a brutally honest description of myself, too! yay!
penguini-
>Some of the victims likely think that the attack was unwarranted, which might be part of the problem.
Robert deserved to be hit with that dictionary two years ago, no matter how much he disagrees. And the umbrella. He’s just annoying.
>The ‘us becoming too similar’ thing is creepy. And true. We should stop that maybe?
You try. It’s like not walking in step with someone.
December 11, 2008 at 19:06
tetra- Don’t forget throwing the scissors. I don’t even remember most of those times, but if it was Robert he probably deserved it.
December 11, 2008 at 19:13
You weren’t there *any* of the times, which is the sad part. I’m just infamous.
I hadn’t forgotten the scissors, but that’s mostly irrelevant. All that happens is occasionally Brian and I will have a conversation like this: “Remember that time you threw the scissors at me?” “I didn’t throw them at you, I threw them at Mark. And it was in eighth grade. Why do you still care?” “I don’t, I just mention it to bother you.”
But that hasn’t happened in a while. It doesn’t bother me anymore… those two facts are probably related.
December 11, 2008 at 19:15
…and this is why I am commonly viewed as violent and crazy. I have explanations, but they don’t make it much better, so I won’t bother unless you need to know.
December 11, 2008 at 19:16
Hey, it’s all Brian’s fault anyway. Does he still remember that? It was annoying at the beginning of Marching Band and that was the first thing I would think when I saw him. How long has it been, 2 years, since we were in All County together.
December 11, 2008 at 19:20
It was in eighth grade too. Two years. I still remember it and think of him when I start to blame people for things. I don’t think he remembers, although he might. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had never understood why we started blaming him for everything spontaneously. I try not to mention it every time I think it because that’s just finding annoying excuses to talk to him which I am not letting myself do.
edit: but all county band was last year except I wasn’t in wind ensemble and you were
December 11, 2008 at 19:22
I’m not sure if I remember why we started blaming him for everything. Why did we?
December 11, 2008 at 19:23
@tetra
Pos. even cooler eyes, smart, generally nice to people, geek’s wet dream.
Neg. neardy, also not to girly, geek’s wet dream, avoids contact generally, bases everything (in the long run) over perceived failure of “him”.
I dunno, I know penguini the best, sorry…
December 11, 2008 at 19:29
Tetra- brutally honest…
negative: shy, gets self into akward situations,
positive: intelligent, creative, nerdy (yes, I consider that a good thing), good listener, has great ideas
Over all good outways bad by a lot.
December 11, 2008 at 19:36
wing-ding- We were blaming random people. He was nearby. Unlike the band teachers (also blamed, as I recall), he doesn’t control our grades, and he’s more accessible than them. It’s also obviously not his fault a lot of the time, which makes blaming him more fun. And his reaction, sometimes.
doktor- Your description makes me inordinately happy, for the most part. so it’s okay.
He actually doesn’t affect me that much except I spend so much time thinking about it… which is pretty close to what you just said, isn’t it? I don’t base everything on it, and this is just for now, anyway. (look, I’m making excuses to justify my actions again)
edit: a lot of the negatives don’t really bother me. also, doktor, you wouldn’t say that I avoid contact if you’d been around when I was hugging random people after we came off the field from some of the marching band shows. I just can’t get away with that most of the time.
December 11, 2008 at 19:38
Hehehehehe…
December 11, 2008 at 19:38
Tetra- Do you have a brutally honest description for me?
December 11, 2008 at 19:40
@wingy
Pity I don’t think I’ve met you yet, you sound like an interesting person as well…
…unless I already have met you and penguini failed to mention…
December 11, 2008 at 19:44
You have met me. I’m Lisa, I sit at your lunch table.
December 11, 2008 at 19:45
wing-ding- I’ve known you forever. I am biased– you’re my friend. I’ll see what I can do.
+ funny, surreal, and inventive; smart; good at trumpet
- runs Windows Vista and won’t let me kill it with fire; sometimes, rarely, I want to be taken seriously and don’t want you to minimize what I’m saying by finding reasons to laugh about it, and I’m afraid that you will; you are not the least awkward, but you’re better than I am
edit: am I allowed to call you Lisa now?
December 11, 2008 at 19:46
BAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.
And penguini said that your identity was secret.
Damn her.
December 11, 2008 at 19:48
Windows VISTA?!?!?!?!
In Buffalo, me and a friend named it Windows Jewish Edition, because it both took all your money, but then asked if you wanted something done, even though you said yes 3 previous clicks before…
December 11, 2008 at 19:54
Tetra-
forgot to put two positives on yours: funny, good at trombone (how could I have forgotten that?), understands me (or at least as well as possible with what I give you)
I will take you seriously. I laugh because that is how I deal with serious converations that make me feel akward or that I don’t have an answer to. Subconciously when I don’t what to do I joke about it and try to lighten the mood, because I do know how to do that. Sorry if I have minimized things you have said, it wasn’t intensional.
December 11, 2008 at 20:01
Tetra-
you are allowed to call me Lisa, but I am still am kind of uncomfortable with having my name out on the internet, so please don’t do it often. I’ve decided it’s a common enough name to post, but that doesn’t stop irrational fears.
Doktor- I only have windows vista because when it comes to computers I know very little about fixing them. No offence Tetra, but if there’s a problem, it’s alot easier to just give it to my dad to fix than to try and explain why I have a new operating system on my lap top that my parents trust me to be responsible with and took forever to get me.
December 11, 2008 at 20:04
Be responsible then and get that infectious piece of software off there.
…I remember when I thought XP was slow…
December 11, 2008 at 20:10
I’ll make an exception for robert. Can I borrow that binder?
@doktor- stalker!
also: wing-ding requested that her identity be kept secret. I did so.
go away mom
December 11, 2008 at 20:12
I did turn off Aero when I got to touch it (after promising to not install anything, even firefox :( ) and she does have 3 GB of RAM, but still… linux is a good thing and your parents should be okay with it. If not, once I’ve written that position paper on why open source is good, I’ll send it to them. also I can troubleshoot, sometimes. and there’s always the internet.
December 11, 2008 at 20:14
Penguini- thanks. Still paranoid about other info though, although if there was someone creepy enough to actaully want to investigate and find me, even before I wrote my name they could find me.
doktor- I remember when I thought xp was incredibly fast (10 years old and used to windows 98)
December 11, 2008 at 20:27
I have XP and Kubuntu (dual-booting). Kubuntu doesn’t have internet, which is why I’m still using XP. I can’t get ndiswrapper to work with my wireless card (though I actually have it installed now; my dad found a patch that worked), and support is *gone*. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NdisWrapper#Problems)
If anyone knows of alternatives (or wireless cards that are compatible with Kubuntu without too much extra confusing work), that would be great.
You can analyze my personality if you want. (a negative would definitely be procrastinating too much. must do global homework…)
December 11, 2008 at 20:39
what wireless card?
December 11, 2008 at 20:47
…Whut.
So her parents want her to not destroy her computer. But they leave it wide open to viruses with Internet Explorer. What. the. hell.
December 11, 2008 at 20:57

yeah, not being allowed to install firefox is insane.
December 11, 2008 at 21:04
I don’t think her parents would mind, once I got it working. But if I were allowed to install firefox, who knows what else I’d do… Lisa is erring on the side of caution with me and computers. She’s seen me take things apart and ruin them.
December 11, 2008 at 21:22
firefox is a gateway program!
“take things apart and ruin them”
like when my computer wouldn’t boot at all because you (all right, we) messed with the grub file… xD I know, you didn’t ruin it, but it was *scary*.
December 11, 2008 at 21:32
…grub files are scary?
Try installing BIOS’s, then we’ll talk scary.
December 11, 2008 at 21:32
You would have done it eventually. I only encouraged you. and it did get fixed eventually.
December 11, 2008 at 21:33
@potato
ROFLMFAO! What luck you have! I happen to know a driver that works well with that. Try fwcutter.
December 11, 2008 at 21:36
but… BIOS is built-in… what is there if there’s no BIOS? it’s just some silicon and stuff, not a computer. how do you even install the thing that you can install things *from*? you need a BIOS to run anything! it’s… yeah, that’s really scary.
December 11, 2008 at 21:37
Updating BIOS…
…especially with floppy drives…
December 11, 2008 at 22:14
oh, ok. that doesn’t cause any existential dilemnas. It’s still frightening, but I can deal with it.
…floppy drives? how long ago was this?
December 11, 2008 at 22:24
Year maybe?
…contrary to popular belief, the floppy drive is the actual way that it was done in MY day…
…I’ve done it a few times, and it’s scary shit every single time.
December 12, 2008 at 08:30
*suddenly feels ignorant*
potato chip- black screen of doom and cookies at midnight!
I think I managed to get C to install firefox.
grub is okay. grub is my friend. I haven’t messed it up that badly yet…
My laptop, when it boots, doesn’t have the drivers or the smarts to recognize and boot from a cd drive. So, external floppy drive w/ boot floppy that gets the laptop far enough to recognize the external cd drive and boot cd. Then one can do an install and not have to deal with that rat nest of cables.
I remember when we ran windows…sort of. It was blue-green and had grass and stuff and that really awesome hovercraft game. I think. I was 6 at the time. Then we switched to SuSE and the game went away. *shrugs*
December 12, 2008 at 10:03
Yes, but now you have the beauty of Frozen Bubble.
You can always play Unreal Tournament 2004, Doom 3, Quake anything, uhh…
Alot.
December 12, 2008 at 17:00
um, yeah. I would if playing games was an activity I could get away with without the (now) obligatory stop procrastinating lecture. Besides that, frozen bubble rules all over everything.
Should I make a computing thread and shall we move computer discussion over there?
Does anyone else eat carrots by eating the cortex, then the core?
December 12, 2008 at 17:13
penguini- yes! I think I have a picture of the black screen of doom… and the skittles and cookies. :)
yes, because right now we kind of have computer discussion on both this thread and the closet pictures thread…
just made a thread.
December 12, 2008 at 17:17
I’m not going to stop posting about compy on all the other threads if you make one for it, just start a different conversation.
also, O_o carrots. that’s disgusting.
December 12, 2008 at 18:11
I’m just not going to pot anything relating to computers in there.
December 12, 2008 at 18:12
post^
December 12, 2008 at 20:28
Penguini- I also eat carrots by eating the cortex, then the core. Sometimes I just forgo that and did it in butterscotch pudding.
Oh, and way back in the begining, “A home for odd things like clean closets, purple penguins, expired ramen, cheerful goths, lemon flavored peppers…” I have seen expired ramen. After 20 or 30 years the flavoring packet clumps up. And although I have never had a lemon flavored peper, I have had a grape flavored apple.
December 12, 2008 at 20:29
*dip it in butterscotch pudding
December 12, 2008 at 22:48
Yeah, that’s totally not more disturbing at all… *rolls eyes*
December 13, 2008 at 00:36
What’s wrong with butterscotch pudding? I tried it with vanilla and tapioca, but it just isn’t the same.

I think some of the questions were asked in ways that made me answer things they didn’t mean- for example, I don’t really care about visual art, but I am devoted to music, which I think counted as part of art. Also, I procrastinate like crazy, but I get work done before it’s due, and I’m good at it.

also! either I am incapable of judging myself or I have some pretty serious issues. I blame the test.

Also, my scores on these tests vary a LOT depending on my mood.

The test was really acurate in some areas, really not in others. Some of the questions were hard because of exceptions. For example, it is really hard to get me angery/annoyed umless you’re my brother. Then that is my main emotion.

December 21, 2008 at 17:15
I feel like such a bad person in comparison to you all, especially on things like Modesty and Neuroticism…
December 21, 2008 at 18:43
And my friendliness of 1 makes me good? Don’t read into the results like that…
December 21, 2008 at 19:13
(you probably don’t care, but you missed a lab, a test, a whole unit, and a few epic take downs in physics. Rachel is, regrettably, to oblivious/stupid to notice when she gets hit with one. There were a few epic take downs in gym as well.)
December 21, 2008 at 20:41
I moved back to Buffalo… don’t care.
=P
December 21, 2008 at 22:25
you’re gone now? :( it was interesting having you here, if only for a few weeks…
December 21, 2008 at 23:41
we’ve had about 2 feet of snow in the past two days… hehehe
December 22, 2008 at 17:55
I really shouldn’t be jealous, because we have about a foot of snow. I’ve been trying not to comment because of that… I am incredibly jealous.
December 22, 2008 at 23:09
Not to mention it keeps blowing around so much that it acts like sand in the desert, creating random dunes across the driveway which, unfortunately, my Nissan Pathfinder doesn’t do… (I don’t have a 2ft clearance underneath, even WITH 4 wheel drive low-gear)
…in other news, Niagara Falls was absolutely scary… They only plow at night there, so the snow was all over the road, taxi’s and the such slipping every which way through the intersections, and I, in a brief moment of stupidity, forgot that you have to ease into the brakes in that kind of slush… Thank Christ for ABS.

Yes, well… sorry, no prizes.

be careful. There’s no knowing what will happen when you go there.

I figured it was your father, but now I see where you get… “you” from.
December 28, 2008 at 12:18
My father makes me seem *normal*… by almost any definition of normal.
you would find that title interesting.

@tetra
…upgraded my boss’s bios, a dell…
…wow, what a far cry from the dark ages of my time… there was no .exe to update the bios.
For my omnibook, if I recall correctly, you first had to insert a floppy, make a MSDOS bootable out of it, then edit one of the .bat files to read the file that you had to place on the floppy. After that, you rebooted with the floppy in, boot off that, type in the name of the bios file (case sensitive, and no ls command), and then pray as you hoped to God Himself that the floppy wasn’t bad, otherwise you were fuct in the ass with no lube.
December 28, 2008 at 18:03
You could test the floppy to see if it was bad first. I think. Maybe.
@ doktor
saw a SUV that used to be about the size of yours… Someone changed it and it now dwarfs everything else on the road. It looks like it has no problem whatsoever with 2 ft snow drifts…
December 28, 2008 at 21:03
well snow drifts themselves are fine… The problem is when there’s no rampage to it… it’s just a flat 2 ft.
December 29, 2008 at 01:11
why aren’t there two foot snow drifts here? There should be!
doktor- that scares me more than practically anything. I mean, there’s nothing too bad about the process to upgrade it, but to risk so much and it could ruin a computer… I know, computers aren’t sentient yet, but…
December 31, 2008 at 12:04
doktor- How many snow days do they plan for in Buffalo? You must have almost no Spring Break with all the storms there.
December 31, 2008 at 12:08
What is going on with wordpress? I type a comment, I hit submit, and somehow the name and e-mail got erased. Then I go back and type in the required info, and it can’t find my comment. Then I type the comment, hit submit, notice a spelling mistake and cancel it. I fix the mistake, hit submit and it tells me to slow down, I’m going too fast AND posts with the mistake. *Sigh*
[Fixed spelling/punctuation for you and deleted the double post — Death]
[Death, that's the only reason you're still an admin. *lazy*- penguini]
December 31, 2008 at 14:30
We have 0… Other school districts have about 7, because they have walkers…
…we have snow plows here, which do their jobs…
December 31, 2008 at 17:19
We also have snowplows, and they do their job… just as long as you wear boots.
I went on an adventure today, and the thing I learned was that If There Is A Snowplow Coming, Find Something Bigger Than You Are And Hid Behind It. And if there isn’t anything to hide behind, run away. The snowplows throw slush about 10-15 feet.
oh, and mostly dead bushes are Not Good for hiding behind… bleh
January 1, 2009 at 11:41
Not only do they throw slush, but they always throw it on the driveway right after you finish shoveling, and you’re inside and you just finally got warm.

he is exceedingly paranoid about the possibility of infection… The fact that you reinstalled the whole machine the night before means nothing to him.

April 17, 2009 at 19:13
hello!
there’s nothing much to say, really. So I can start being awkward now?
We’ve begun to use you as a standard for creepiness.
April 20, 2009 at 17:36
Really? That’s awesome! I hereby instate the Daum Scale of Creepiness!
April 20, 2009 at 17:51
…it was more of a universal creepiness constant. All other attempts at creepiness are lower than the constant. Negative numbers are achievable with sufficient fail at being creepy.
Or at least that was what I was working from why dan was trying to be creepy and failing miserably.
How’s the Daum Scale of Creepiness work? I may adopt it…
April 20, 2009 at 20:07
Obviously, you can go from 1 (Chipmunk) to 10 (Me).
decimals are acceptable.
April 21, 2009 at 19:37

June 28, 2009 at 14:45
