@Nej: Oh I'm plenty benevolent but Unix is a serious computer-related berserker button for me. >>

@Doc: good luck with school! ^^

@Colonel: can I pay you in doodles? They'll be worth a lot when I'm dead and famous someday!

I'm so honoured you have my drawing on your wall. :,)

@Kari: I'm not moving into a dorm to save ~$10,000 and to avoid the hassles of living with other people, which I consider a rather large hassle. Until I have the money to move into my own house or apartment, I'm staying with my family. -v-

Yeah, Stew's neutral... um, just to clarify by "neutral" you mean "OSCers who haven't expressed the desire or intent to the moves on me"? XD

I'M VOTING FOR NOBODY. Because I am apolitical, jaded and resentful of the entire system. >>;;

@bell: yea, that's what i meant by "neutral".
apolitical AND asexual? hmm.
the whole "living with a stranger" thing put me off too, but not NEARLY as much as
DUN
DUN
DUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHNNNNN!!!!!

*gasp* shared bathroom. there's something about sharing a shower with a whole hallway that puts me off.....
plus no kitchen. >:[

bells, we should rent together.

@Bella: Never thought you'd ever set foot in your home state's rival!

Sorry about the backstabbers that ruined the Linux community for you.

@Nejin: You've been out PARTYING HARD?

@Stewartsage: Good luck with starting school!

@Dr.Kraus: Congrats on getting such a schedule! Do you have easy classes or only a few classes?

I'm taking 5 classes this semester, with three of them in a row on Mondays, for 5 hours straight. @_@

@Chocofreak and Bella: I'm also not in a dorm, and if/when I transfer to a college with dorms, I still won't get one, to save money, and those pesky roommates.

A few hours ago, I got home from a road trip in Oklahoma, as one of my cousins had his wedding there. Also chatted with chatted with relatives I hadn't seen in a year (or longer), and met my cousin's wife's relatives too. They're very nice.

With the topic of Unix hate, it's probably a bad time to mention that recently I've been learning how to use the Unix Terminal in OSX, and I like it! (and to think I am/was a Unix hater too! Noooooo!)

[Chocofreak13]

well, i don't think you're a turncoat, aurora-san. :3

@Nejin: You've been out PARTYING HARD?

Well, let me say that the elder members of the clan aren't exactly foreign to this either...or like, ANY of us, for that matter. Crazy night, just with the somewhat annoying side effect that I had to do shitloads of admin work. Oh well. -w-;

Now, at least, I can go back to my dear computers and spend some time with them...
...looking for work. -_-

I really hate this shit, don't I. >:[

@aurora I have Biology, Gym/Study hall,  Study hall, English, Lunch, World Cultures, Geometry, and finally Algebra2.

I like this because I can go home with the hardest stuff fresh in my mind! Also, I'll be more tired thus I will be forced to go to sleep early and then I will be more awake the next day (I wake up at 6AM every day)

[Bella]

OH.
MY.
GOD. YAWEH. ALLAH. BUDDHA. VISHNU. WHOEVER ELSE MIGHT UP THERE.
I'M THE NEW PROUD MOTHER OF A  COMMODORE VIC-20!!!!!!!!!! ;V;

[Red-Machine]

OMG YAY!  Bella finally got an 8-bit micro!

Welcome to the club.

[Bella]

YEY!

Found her at the Champlain Valley Expo, this big fair/concert/bazaar/rummage sale festival thingy here in N.W. Vermont. Stepped inside one of the buildings to catch a break from the heat, started looking around and found this man selling a bunch of old videogame consoles and games (ColecoVision, Genesis, a ton of old Nintendo systems, etc) and I was like, "WHOA COOL!" and then I saw this VIC-20 -- in its original box -- that stopped me dead in my tracks.

Me: "You're selling that VIC-20?"
Salesdude: "Yep!"
Me: *O* The squee I made could probably be heard throughout most of upstate New York.

I think it's an early generation model, because its in this box: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Commodore_VIC_20_box.jpg

$60, it turns on but it's missing a cable for the TV adapter. Came with a Datasette and a 1541 floppy drive too. The salesdude says he has the manuals for it too, but he left them back at home, so he's going to send them to me.

But then I had to walk that sucker back to our car, about a kilometer in the glaring sun and 90-some degree heat. I think my arms are going to be sore for a week, but it was soooooo worth it. (A labour of love!)

[Chocofreak13]

duuuuuuuuuude
i'ma track down your house and come see it.

and next time you see N64 games, if there's something good get me it. xDD

[NejinOniwa]

SOMEONE'S GOT A SHAMEIMARU AVI HERE, I CAN SMELL IT

[Dr. Kraus]

Bella, if I saw one of those this would be my face for around 5 hours:



Your so lucky!

[stewartsage]

Congratulations Bella, I also welcome you to the club.  Large and lustrous as it is.  Maybe the VIC-20 can come over and play with big sister Lily sometime; she doesn't even cause RF interference!

Class list: Statistics (yay!), American Revolution, Greek & Celtic Mythology, Intro to International Relations, Civil Liberties

Final random note: Just bought a book with a chapter entitled "Real Time: Reaping the Whirlwind".  It's all about Whirlwind, SAGE, SABRE, and the revolutionization of the Post-War computer industry.  Yay!

[Chocofreak13]

post the book title. that sounds interesting.

@nej: master! i was spreading your word earlier this evening! shouting "SYAMEIMARU!!!" out the window of the car at people! and at the other passengers!!


......SYAMEIMARU!!
