Loopdelooploop

They are playing the Narwhal song on repeat, and I have maybe slept 10 hours since Thursday. SPOOOOOOOOIIIIIING!!!! X3

Birdie FTW

Birdie rocks my boots^^,
Right now they are having a live concert, and there's laser tag out on the lawn, they have a climbing wall, and a jumping-castle. (You know, those big plastic things filled with air that you jump in.) Earlier there was oil wrestling^^, Sweedish girls have large titsXD
They have concerts every night, and in 1 hour and 16 minutes there will be a fire show before the Demo showing. Which I am really exited about. It's hands down the coolest thing at these parties.
The Gathering can go to bed. (A thing I used to say when I was little: "Gå hjem og BOGG!!!"^^,) This is WAY cooler!!! By far!!!

Fan hva snygt

Apparently I am pretty^^,
Still at Birdie, and the photo competition just had a showing of the pictures, one of which portray yours truly playing with soap bubbles. And from the stage area where all the people were watching came a "fan hva snygt" (Damn, how pretty). Now they might have been talking about the bubbles, but my ego chooses to think they were talking about me^^,
I don't think we'll win thou, I think the half naked chick with the pink hair will win. Seeing as how she's half naked in the pics XP

Fun seeing myself on bigscreen^^,

Crappy piece of crap (also: Birdiebirdienomnom)

You know my craptacular piece of crap that tries to pass itself off as a laptop.
It's broken. AGAIN!!!!
At the worst time possible. Again.
There's Birdie this weekend, which is a big LAN/demo party in Uppsala in Sweden. And the day before we are to leave miss craptacular decides she doesn't like her power button, and refuses to turn on!!!!
I ended up having to bring the piece of shit Dell. It turned off 3 times due to the heat in the hall we're in before I just had to go buy a big fan thingy to put underneath it. It works like a dream thou, no more problem.

We arrived in Stockholm after a 6 hour train ride about 2 yesterday and went shopping before travelling on to Uppsala.
I bought Kamikaze Girls, Cutie Honey and Sex is Zero on DVD. The two first are Japanese and the last one is Korean.
I have started watching Cutie Honey, and it's so over the top it's pure genius. If you have seen Cybergirl it's even more over the top than that. It's awesome beyond belief=D=D

It's really hot here. They have everything that can be open open, but take around 1k computers and laptops and put them into a hall about the size of a junior high PE hall, and you get a hot hall indeed.
Actually it's not so bad right now, because most of the kids are sleeping.
I slept for about 4 hours in the sleeping hall, but I woke up from heat and dehydration. So I just had to get up.
The showers here are actually hot thou, and that was really refreshing.
Right now we are mostly waiting for the stores to open so we can get some breakfastXD

Distractions galore

Do you know what time of year there are the most distractions? Right before any and all exams. There are webcomics I wanna read, and youtube videos I wanna watch. There are friends I wanna hang out with, and shops I wanna peruse. There is music I wanna listen to and books I wanna read, and comic books and drawings I wanna draw and games I wanna play.
But I have got to read, at least a little. Time to hit the books^^,

Free Comic Book Day, after the fact

It's been a good Free Comic Book Day^^,
I'm not really that into American comic books, I get annoyed enough about Ret Cons when people tell me about them, if I have to experience the horror for myself, I think I will go absolutely nuts. So I am donating all (almost) of the comic books I picked out to my cousin who didn't have time to come get them himself^^,
I am keeping the Fragglerock comic thou. And the Nail Gaiman book^^,

Also I bought some Tru Blood. Which is a kind of synthetic blood, which the Japanese created as a substitute for human blood, and that vampires can survive on, so that they can come out into the open^^, Or at least in the books that's what it is. The bottle that I bought contained a carbonated blood orange drink. Which for some odd reason smelled like a shampoo.XD

Then we went to Dragens Hule, which is something as cool as a webshop that has moved on to getting a real-life honest to god store. And that is freakin' awesome=D=D
Anyway, in that very store we found (or rather L found and then showed me) a purse/backpack shaped like my logo. It's made of red and black vinyl, with the actual purse in red shaped like a heart, lined with black lace and with black vinyl wings sown on.
So it's shaped like my logo, the DragonHeart. I can't really afford it right now, but they only had two left, so I had them put it aside for me until Monday. (Because I forgot my wallet at home.)

Later we went to an outdoor market and I ate spring rolls, and drank unsweetened Japanese Green Tea. Which tasted a lot like soap. which was kinda gross. But I payed for it, so I drank it all^^,

I am gonna go to bed now^^,

Free Comic Book Day

I'm guessing Free Comic Book Day in America was last Saturday, like usually. But last Saturday was the 1st of May, and that is a holiday here in Norway, it's called Workers Day.
So we are having Free Comic Book Day today. I am guessing all other countries that celebrate Workers Day also are having Free Comic Book Day today.
So head over to you local Comic Book store and get your copies of the tons of free comics that they give out^^,
Happy Free Comic Book Day everyone^^,

I hate this day

Yeah, like my day haven't been bad enough, what with the zombies, and forgetting my breakfast in the toast oven, and apparently having hurt my finger.
You know the effing Pokémon games I bought used off the net. They're fake.
They're as fake as they can get. Fake through and through.
I have ordered new ones (from another seller obviously), and if those also turn out to be fake, I will report them both straight into oblivion.
Boyfriend seems to think that the seller didn't know they were fake, so he doesn't want me to report him, but I seriously want to. Not only because I don't think he's right. But I am also a little vindictive.
I have sent the seller a mail wanting my money back, and I am gonna wait a little, but if he doesn't respond I am going to report him. It's illegal to sell fake games, and I really should report him to maybe Nintendo or something. In my opinion it's one thing to download music, nobody makes money off of that, except actually the record companies. I end up buying a lot of the music or movies I have others download for me. Downloading isn't illegal anyway, uploading is.
But selling knock-offs, that IS illegal, and it's wrong to make money off of fake stuff. Also I would not be surprised if the fake game would ruin my real games.

And all these crappy things just HAD to happen right before my exam right? Everything has to go wrong at once when I am stressed out and on the edge already doesn't it?
I fucking (oh em gee, a cuss word) this day. This fucking awful day can go to hell!!!

I hate phobias!!!

So I just opened one of my webcomics. I almost screamed out loud. There was a big rotting monster-man staring at me.
I was so scared I almost started to cry.
I effing HATE this!!!

I'm a man!

That is just fucking great.
It's all there in Ezekial 8"
(Um, quicktip here. If you are religious and kind of uptight and a prude about it, don't look up this quote. If you are, however, religious and can actually joke around with it, then this song is really funny. It really is^^, It's meant to be funny, the guy who wrote it is comedian. Come on people, loosen up, laugh a little. Nothing (and I mean nothing) is so awful that it can't be joked about.(Given time and distance of course.))


"He eyes ain't green and my hair I ain't yellow, it's more likely the other way around."

There can only ever be one first time."


"Bonjour, mesdames et monsiuers. Yesterday we have learned the correct way how to boil water. Today we will learn the correct way how to crack an egg. Voilà! An egg. Now, an egg is not a stone; it is not made of wood, it is a living thing. It has a heart. So when we crack it, we must not torment it. We must be merciful and execute it quickly, like with the guillotine."


"You don't marry a girl because she's pretty, but by jove, doesn't it help?"


"I don't want to get involved in the racial situation at the expense of losing fans. I wouldn't say anything too strong but I do know that God created us equal and we're not living up to it."
(Fantastic woman this one. And gorgeous too. She said some truly deep things in her day. Oh em gee! Was that a hint? The next few ones will be quotes that actual people said, these you are allowed to search for, as I imagine none of you will know them, or have ever read them. You are allowed to brag if you do know it thouXD)


"A lot of happiness can be brought to the mentally distraught by a little understanding."


"I'd like ten more babies and ten more chihuahuas and a few Academy Awards. Meanwhile, I enjoy being a sex symbol and making people happy."

"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."


"Talent is developed in privacy... but everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like sort of a chunk at you. They'd kind of like to take pieces out of you."


"Wouldn't it be nice to be like men and get notches in your belt and sleep with most attractive men and not get emotionally involved?"


"Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm. As you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second is to help others."


"Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same."


"I think sex is overrated. I don't have sex appeal and I know it. As a matter of fact, I think I'm rather funny looking. My teeth are funny, for one thing, and I have none of the attributes usually required for a movie queen, including the shapeliness."


"From the time I was thirteen, there was a constant struggle between MGM and me - whether or not to eat, how much to eat, what to eat. I remember this more vividly than anything else about my childhood."


"I have the unfortunate habit of not being able to have an affair with a man without being in love with him."


"I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph."


"One famous movie executive who shall remain nameless, exposed himself to me in his office. 'Mr X,' I said, 'I thought you were a producer not an exhibitor'."


Okey, I am gonna have to end it here. I have so many many fantastic quotes to share with you, but I am guessing only half of you made it this far.
There's a lot of repeats. Meaning I have several from the same thing or person. I just really like the things I like I guess.
Some of them I looked up, some of them I wrote from memory. The latter might have anomalies. If you know me in real life you earn your self a great big hug for everyone you get right^^,
(Oh em gee, I am gonna get many search engine hits off this post ain't I?O.o)
Oh, and I don't remember all these quotes at once, so don't expect me to remember them from the top of my head. I have to set aside some brain for my studies too.

And now for the car accident.
Lets just start off with: Had I been in front of that car I might not have survived. It was that bad.
So me and boyfriend was walking up from Smart Club when we hear the whine of tires and see a swerving car going really fast (I have absolutely no powers of deducting speeds, but it was way too fast. Well over the speed limit, which is 50km/hour). It ended up crashing into a light pole, wrapping it's front around it in the process.
Then the car it had been swerving to avoid rolls down it's window and someone yell's "you're not supposed to be laughing! You're supposed to cry!"
Then four girl all but falls out of the wreck, laughing maniacally. We run over to see if they are okey, and they just nod, still laughing.
Our best guess is they were racing, and the first car stopped in front of the round about rather abruptly and the second car had to swerve to avoid it.
I think the girls in the wreck probably all have whiplashes.
All I could think walking away from it all was "someone is going to get grounded all the way into the next millennium", because the car looked very much like it could very well had belonged the one of their dads. Schadenfraude is a wonderful thing^^,
I am also guessing they might not have been soberXP I would hate to be them if the police finds out, and they weren'tXD

Why I hate the Internet

Do you know what a Tab-Explosion is?
It's when you read an article, and that article links to several other articles, which again links to several other articles, and you want to read all these other articles as well, because you know they are also really interesting. This will make you open all these new articles in tabs so that you can read them when you are done reading the one you are reading right now. They will keep on multiplying. It's a special kind of sexless reproduction only parallelled by the malignant cells in bad cases of cancer tumours. They just keep multiplying until it takes you several minutes just to scroll your tab bar to see where it ends.
You know when is the worst possible time for this to happen? Three weeks before your exam...=/

I did the huge mistake of looking something up on TvTropes a couple weeks ago, and I am still working through the tabs. I have about 20 to go, and I have a severe case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder when it comes to these things, so I am gonna have to read them before I close them.
I try to get a little studying done in between this, and I am succeeding to some little extent, but not very much. I get some reading done while commuting thou. I will be better next year. I promiseXD

What came first? The egg or the hen?

Or rather the strip or the band?
In 2005 J. Jacques made this Questionale Content strip:
Homeless Hipsters

I was kidding around with a friend and said that wangsty Raphael of this strip was almost worse than Emo Hobocore. To which we replied double-u tee eff, and instead of searching through the archives for the strip I Googled it, and found this Urban Dictionary article
In this article they mention a band called Trashcan of Deception, who apparently started off in 2005.
I am wondering, are the two unrelated, or did one set off the other?
Who came first, the strip or the band?

I am fetish. Hear me ROAR!

It started some time during the late eighties early nineties, with Madonna singing some dude made her feel like a virgin. And it just sort escalated from there. (It might have started way earlier thou, I am only 22, so anything really old I won't have discovered yet.)
Alice Copper made a video with half naked women prancing around in a room full of chains hanging from the ceiling. That was considered risqué. It's was considered downright indecent.

And then comes the middle and late nineties. The innocent little pop-princesses started growing up. Discovering the world, and themselves, and, well, sex.
It gave us Britney videos like this:

(I was gonna embed Slave 4 you here, but I couldn't find a video that would let me embed it. This one shows my point thou. Which was Britney singing about how she has grown up while prancing around with her underwear on the outside of her clothes.)

And the world-famous (and many places banned) Christina video:


I must admit this is about where I stopped listening to the radio, and just about then Crappy-Reality-Show-Channel (otherwise known as MTV) stopped showing music videos, so the further development was lost on me.
That is until lady GAGA entered the stage. Her style blatantly stolen from fetish models such as Miss Mosh. (Warning: I have waived the no porn rule in this case. That is a fetish porn site. It is NOT SAFE FOR WORK (or moms))
She put on latex and ballerina heels and made herself out to be the next big shocking thing.
Her lyrics have a double meaning and sexual innuendo up the wazoo.


(Chosen because it was the first of her videos I was exposed to.)

She kept escalating and eventually donned a wannabe-gimpmask and made Bad Romance.

It's rather stunning visually actually.

In between these two, Britney wanted to show she could be sexy too.
And fell flat on her face.


Her next try was way better:


Now, however, Christina has showed once and for all, she can outfetish just about any pop-princess.
I give you: Not Myself Tonight
NSFW


It might not work in embedding, seeing as it's tagged as mature. If it doesn't you have to be over 18, and have a youtube account and go watch it here:

Stupid game=(

You know the Sapphire I wrote about a couple of hours ago?
The one that keeps bugging.
I think someone messed it up.
It has a sticker over the screw that reads "MM do not open". If anyone knows this sticker, could you please comment and tell me what it means?
It keeps freezing and bugging and now it won't migrate Pokémon into SoulSilver.
That was 200SEK right out the window.
I just want to cry right now....

You are a STOOOOOPID game!!!

So I got my Ruby and Sapphire in the mail on Thursday. I started playing Sapphire the same day, and it kept freezing up on me. So I cleaned it, ever so carefully with a Q-tip and a teenytiny amount of Heptan (an alcohol based solution based used among other things to remove band-aid glue from your skin). And it worked fine after that.
Until about an hour ago, when I was turning on my DS to play and it stared with the message "previous save file has been deleted, you can now play the game". Which meant, literally, that my save had been deleted. I had between 20 and 25 hours of gameplay on that thing, and now I have to start all over. I figured, I am gonna play until I have 7 Pokémon, and then PalPark 6 of them over to my SoulSilver game. And I am gonna do this until I have all the 3rd gen starters on Souls Silver. I am collecting starters at the moment^^,
If it happens again, I am gonna have to write to guy I bought them from and complain.

In addition, when I started the game over again, don't you think it froze in the middle of my first battle?
Luckily I am have gone all out OCD on saving, so I didn't have to replay the entire intro sequence more than once. And let me tell you, I have now played Pokémon intro sequences so staggeringly many times that I can tell you exactly how it goes, blindfolded in the dark while asleep.
It so incredibly boring, and thou I realize they make them because new players need an introduction to the general idea of the game, I really REALLY wish there was a skip button.
What I hate most with intro sections are the "I will force feed you this tutorial even if it kills me" attitude of certain characters. This will result in this sequence of dialogue:
"Do you know how (insert gadget here) works?"
"Why, yes I do, but thank you for asking."
"Don't you just (insert long explanation of said gadget only in question form here)."

This phenomena is not in any way exclusive to Pokémon, it's present in just about any game where there either isn't a tutorial mode, or you can skip it. The more technical doodads appear in the game, the more you get of these, and the later they appear for the first time, the more like it is you will have the tutorial flown in to your mouth on a teaspoon while the game is making "here comes the aeroplane. Wooooooosh. It's coming in for landing" noises.
It's incredibly annoying.
I get that ten year olds, who aren't used to figuring out the more or (more often) less complicated controls or inner workings of their brand new game, might need this. I can see where it can be handy.
But seriously, game companies: please stop fooling yourself into thinking that kids are your main demographic. They aren't.
Except for the very few Pooh-bear and Disney-movie specific games that are released, you main demographic is people who grew up playing your games. The biggest part of people playing Zelda are 20- and 30-somethings that have played since they got their first NES console, and their kids. Kids that have been playing since the day they stopped drooling all over the controllers.
I have been playing Pokémon since I was 10 years old. I have been playing Pokémon since '98, 12 freakin' years, and thou I do realize that for Pokémon, the main demographic IS kids, and that most of the veterans have jumped ship. But are kids these days really so stupid that they need every tiniest scrap of gameplay mechanics forcefed to them in this manner?

When I was young (you did see that coming didn't you?) we stuffed the manual back in the box, and figured how the game worked ourselves. (Should be mentioned that I personally usually kept the manual nearby in case I needed to look up something that I really could not figure out on my own.)
I remember when my Dearest Little Sister got her first Tamagotchi knock off, and my father came to me in awe and asked if I had thought her how to take care of her little virtual puppy. I of course hadn't, which prompted a shock-awe response from him. Turned out she hadn't even taken the manual out of the box.
I can also tell you about how my father came to me once, when I was sitting and animating jumping shapes with Office Word (yeah, you can actually do that if you have a really slow computer. You can't record it, but it's fun anyway. A once built an entire farm in Office Word. Now she uses Poser. But the Word farm is darned impressive), and said that I knew so much more about computers than he did. And I was self taught. He said that he didn't dare mess around going "what happens if I do this", and that that had led me to get better than him. Yes, Dad, you said that^^, I still find it's a fun memory, the day you came and said I could do more with computers than you=D=D
It got me kicked out of my elementary computer class thou. It appeared I knew more about computers than the teacher O.o
Which really makes me think the teachers must have be awfully non computer savvy, because I really didn't know all that much.O.o

You know, I have my Linguistics exam in 3 weeks. I am gonna go pretend to study a little^^,

Spring...

Attention citizens. Spring has been put on hold until further notice.

It has be raining for 3 days straight (maybe more, I have a little trouble keeping the days straight). It's biting cold outside. I wear a fleece sweater outside of my regular sweater when I go outside...
Where did the beautiful spring go?
Did the volcano scare it? It seems to me, this sudden cold front came just about the time when the volcano with the unpronounceable name erupted.
Which makes perfect sense when you think about it. The ash and the glass and everything shadows the sun, and makes the warmth not reach us.

Another thing about said ash and glass and sand and everything.
The aeroplane companies keeps saying that the government is crying wolf, and are overreacting.
They keep pointing at that one plane that discovered that these (invisible mind you) clouds are dangerous, that that plane was able to land safely.
Well, that plane had to land on two out of four engines, and that was only after they managed to get them working, because they all stopped. They only managed to get them working by taking a nose dive. And the actual landing was done on half the instruments, because the windscreen was blown opaque, and was thus impossible to see anything through, and the rest of the instruments had stopped working.
It was sheer luck, and a lot of skill on the pilots' part that saved that plane. We might not be that lucky twice.
That is not overreacting or crying wolf. That is being properly cautious.
That said they need to find ways to deal with this, because the aeroplane companies took a big hit this time, and Katla (which is way bigger) is due to blow in the next six months.
They should start building out trains and producing boats right now. They might already have started. I really hope so....
