But I just took another gamer girl off the market. Tonight I proposed to my girlfriend and she made the mistake of saying yes. good news for me. Questionable for her. bad for everyone else who wants a gamer girl.

Today I had one of the worst possible days at work. as soon as I got to work, everything that could possibly go wrong at some point did go wrong. As sector supervisor, I have discovered that the job entails a lot of juggling. At any given time I have at least 3 different tasks that need to be...

I'm looking to get into a game in the Greater Vancouver area. I live in Surrey but as long as you're on or near a bus route I can get there. I prefer DnD, but I'm willing to give any system a shot though it may take a game or two to catch the swing of a new system. I'm 34 male. No topic or...

I called to order a pizza tonight from a local establishment. I was placing the order and paused briefly to confirm with the GF what toppings we were getting. The guy on the phone then says to me, "Don't waste my time." My response - Excuse me?!? Don't waste your time? Fine.. see ya. *click*...

I don't know if this is due to geography, the line of work that I am in or if it's a general sign of the times but I have noticed that people have become increasingly whiny. Every day when I come to work I hear my co-workers complain. They complain about everything from the vehicles they are...

or more specifically, the video card in the computer. It all started when I turned on the computer hoping to check my email. In addition to the healthy blue glow that my computer emits when it is running, I happened to notice a startlingly UNhealthy orange glow emanating from the vicinity of my...

what do you think would be some of the advantages and/or disadvantages of a hand that had two opposable thumbs. the hand in question would resemble a normal human hand except that where the fourth finger would normally be, an opposable thumb is in its place. In essence, the hand would have a...

I know this has been mentioned before... It has to have been by now anyway.... I saw an ad today for an energy drink in which a couple of kids drink it and then start tearing things in half with their bare hands.... phone books, mattresses, a car..... anyway, at the bottom of the screen was a...

Has anyone ever considered stacking meta-magic feats like silent spell, still spell, maximize, etc.? Basically, every time the same meta magic feat is selected after the first time, it reduces the spell slot by 1. eg. using empower spell requires a spell slot 2 higher than normal. by taking...

where to begin..... my brother was six years older than me. when we were kids, he had this thing that he would sometimes mispronounce words. when our mother corrected him, he would simply say "whatever". It was one of those things that was distinct about him. He died when I was 17 but he did...

We've all heard that a cat always lands on its feet. We've all heard that buttered bread always lands butter side down. but have we ever stopped to consider the effects of combining these two phenomena? I am sure that many people have considered the ramifications of gluing a slice of buttered...

I was at work the other night, minding my own business when all of a sudden a bird came flying from directly behind me over my head. I didn't know what it was at first until it landed on the fence in front of me. when I realized what it was, I took out my camera phone and snapped this shot from...

A new sector supervisor job has opened up at work but it is for a position downtown. I don;t have much desire to work downtown so I figured I would pass on this particular posting. Lo and behold, one of my coworkers calls me out of the blue last night (we work opposite schedules so don't talk...

Her name was Weeble and she was a spaz. She had neurological problems and suffered from seizures but she lived a fairly long time considering. We originally got her as a foster and later adopted her ourselves. Despite all of her problems, she was probably the smartest hamster I have seen. She...
