Just found out one of my brothers friends brother was killed in a car accident last night just outside of Dungog.

One degree of seperation = Oh god
Two degrees of seperation = Genuine empathic oh god
Three degrees of seperation = Faux sympathetic well darn
Four degrees of seperation = Someone died?

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I may or may not have met the brother but I knew my brothers friend well enough for it to suck.

EDIT: Who was moggo btw?

[incompatible with life]

EDIT: Who was moggo btw?

I seem to have vauge recollections of him being a Nintendo fanboy that would often go on longish rants with varying amounts of comprehensibility.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Oh yeah.

[Stevorooni]

Now if I know Moggo (which I don't) he'll only reveal himself through his original account and save his current one to go back to after his inevitible banning.

[FrozenSoul80]

Moggo was just a thing we made up to scared young kids.

[AranchineD]

Like the Boogie Man or Michael Jackson.

EDIT: Who was moggo btw?

Well, darn.

Moggo was Newell. Lots of people suspected that, and they were all right. I don't know if he's resubbed or if he's planning to rejoin now or whatever.

Guess that sig is kinda redundant then


EDIT: WHOA trying to watch the cats game but some bitch is calling the game.

Holy crap I was right!

[dinopoke]

What!? As in Newell was always Moggo? I recall when Moggo posted as God, Newell posted as well.

[Sytadel]

Was God Moggo? I'll have to check that. I wouldn't put it past Moggo to use multiple accounts, god knows after 8-9 bannings he had to get at least a little more sophisticated to avoid being caught.

FTR I don't think Moggo was aiming to "hide" as Newell or anything, I think he seriously wanted a new start as a new Hyperian - newell.

[Dorkify]

Ha, he wasn't Newell.

[dinopoke]

The conspiracy thickens! (!!!)

[Sytadel]

Ha, he wasn't Newell.

wtf. elaborate

[AranchineD]

Because Moggo wouldn't intentionally be lame to create a new user right? )h(

[lucypie]

stupid forum won't let me change my avatar.

[faceless]

Moggo wasn't Newell.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Than how come we never saw them in the same room at the same time?

[Choabac]

Well whoever Moggo is, your original account is unbanned, if you don't want to continue with your old account, contact me so you don't have alts.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

Unless you think you might need alts.

Which you probably will.

Last night, I had a 35 year old chick hitting on me (and invited to threesome).

Haha, no. I have a habit of turning down threesomes, it seems.

Haha, no. I have a habit of turning down threesomes, it seems.

Surprised you turned it down mate. Our of curiosity it was a threesome with 2 girls right as opposed to 2 males and 1 girl?

[Second]

It was MMF.

[texta]

I very much doubt the "I'm gay" response ever results in "do you want to have sex with two girls?"

[Sytadel]

I got told I look like Neville Longbottom again last night, which is like the third time in a week. I don't know that my self esteem can handle this.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

It was MMF.

In that case she should have been asking "Want your first gay experience?"


Although it wouldn't have been full gay unless you high-fived him afterwards.


EDIT: Of course that wouldn't have been your first gay experience, but still.

[AranchineD]

It was MMF.

See, you only do this if the other guy is someone you know, so the high five isn't weird.

[JimmyKane]

I got told I look like Neville Longbottom again last night, which is like the third time in a week. I don't know that my self esteem can handle this.

Not as yet. Once pills are over will be going in for more testing.

TOTALLY RIGGED Masterchef final.

Julie has ****ed up so many times.

Julie kept getting help from the judges mid-cookoff "Hey that sorbet is shit make another." "OK!"

George wanted to bone Julie.

So did Gary.

She kept crying. +1!

She kept whining about how she's sacrificed everything etc. etc. etc. +1!

Cookbook was totally sellable. +1000000!

I mean, got nothing against Julie - I'd eat at her restaurant, I'd buy her book (at least I'd be able to find her ingredients in a regular supermarket) - but Justine <3 or Chris or Poh totally deserved it over her.

Can't wait for next season, totally loved the show!

[FrozenSoul80]

Julia deserved it more. Or maybe that's just my penis talking, I don't know.

Huge bugs with razor-sharp mandibles. Their name (kamikiri mushi) means 'paper cutting bug' because they can cleanly slice through sheets of paper like a pair of scissors.

When I went shopping before it was sitting beside the elevator button, and I almost stuck my finger on it instead. Scared the crap out of me at first because I thought it was a huntsman.

It gets worse. The workers have gone home for the day because they found a blockage. This means all the plumbing in the house drains into the yard, the only exception being the toilet attached to the shed which is in the process of being knocked down. I just had to drop a log in a toilet with two tarps for walls, while my neighbours dog barked at me through the hole in the fence.

Just got back from the accountant. I was going to get aboput $500 back, but then the accountant said "Oh, we haven't taken your $6,000 HECS debt into account. Have a $1,300 bill instead". I swore a little, said some unkind words about my employer (who hadn't been taking money out of my pay to account for HECS) and left with my bill.

[Reuen_SpACeMuNKy]

My plane was broken trying to get home from Amsterdam. Had to stay another day... at the expense of Malaysian Airlines in the Sheraton Hotel. Hehehe.

Showers between flights is awesomeo relief. I think I wrote this in the wrong thread. lol

I went to see Tim Freedman (The Whitlams Singer/Songwriter) in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. It was dinner and a performance by him and a supporting act. Fantastic night. Cost $100 for two courses and the music. Food was also delicious. Mr Freedman is a very entertaining performer.

Is that high? What kind of damage can it do?

[Bronze]

It's moderate. It's enough to cause damage, but nothing too severe. I've had probably... hmm... six or seven of them in the last four months, and one or two in the 6.0 range.

At first I thought it'd be fun to have earthquakes all the time, and now I just want to sleep. A quake like the one just before makes it feel like your bed is floating on water. It's a very odd feeling. Alas, I'm now wide awake and playing Trusty Bell.

[Mike-Towns]

Two people have died in my town over the past two days, a 53 year old woman was found dead in the park and today a 16 year old was found dead with blood over him in the back of the car outside the police station.

My town has had police shoot a guy dead in the middle of town, a dude having a heart attack while driving and running someone over and a murder suicide so far this year. Only 25000 people in the town, so just about everyone knows someone involved or knows someone who knows someone involved.

Oh, people are always dying in my town, I just consider it part of the background noise now.

Sneezed myself a blood nose. Made a mess. :(

[Bronze]

Last time I had a blood nose was flying into Sydney from Tokyo. I had a cold and the pressure in my ear wouldn't equalise on the way down, so I covered up my nose and blew to 'pop' my ears. When I removed my fingers a stream of blood poured out. All of the flight attendants were strapped into their seats, and the only thing close that I could use to stop it going everywhere was a pillowcase. It was almost entirely red when we landed. 'Twas a lot of blood.

In fact, that's the only time I can recall ever having a blood nose. Strange.

[AranchineD]

The kitten can now climb the stairs. I'll never be safe again.

[fishfishmonkeyhat]

I could never abuse the tag system!

[Princess Sakura]

FTR I don't know why I didn't oil my legs straight afterwards >_> It breaks down the wax immediately and my poor thirsty skin had absorbed it by the time I went to bed anyway. To the positivity thread!

[texta]

I've been at work for 3 and a half hours and we haven't had a single customer. So bored that I even briefly read my property law text book.

Also beginning to regret not booking accommodation yet for my weekend visit to Melbourne next weekend. I'm sure it'll be fine.

[AranchineD]

Well, if things fall through and you can't find accomodation, you can always stay at my house texta.

[texta]

Thanks for the offer. I think we should be able to find somewhere okay though. The next big question is what to do. :psyduck:

We're flying over Friday and going back Monday and so far the only thing I'm interested in is the footy on Sunday (Richmond v Melbourne). I guess there's also footy on other days. Plus I'll have to take the other half shopping and I'm going to have to study for my trusts tute which is on monday afternoon (groan). So apart from that what's good to do in Melbourne?

[Lazlow]

Doesn't Aran live in Sydney? >_>

[texta]

Mother****er. We close at 3pm and just then a guy rings up "Uhh, I'm about 20 minutes away and I need a new battery for my motorbike".

Yes. I'll stay open for you. I'm such a softcock.

Making an effort is probably the problem.

[AranchineD]

"I only like you as a friend". Oh for ****s sake, not again! >_<

And I only like you when you don't know I'm there.

Your only recourse now is to arrange someone (me) to drive a car full speed at her (her), and at the last minute someone (you) saves her life, thereby earning you a position back in the relationship zone.

Unless she finds out you organised the guy (me) to drive the car, then you'll be even more screwed then before.

I suggest you change your name to Budwig Lane before we start this plan.

[FrozenSoul80]

But what's stopping you from killing me and running off with her, like some kind of modern Donkey Kong?

[Jickle]

Aran you've got it all wrong.

When the car comes along, and Frozen throws the girl out of the way, the car needs to hit Frozen pretty hard, permanantly disabling him. When the girl dotes on him in hospital, overcome with a sense of responsibility, Frozen breaks down and tearfully admits that he has always loved her. Racked with guilt, the girl enters into a sham relationship with him that she must sustain for at least two years. Perfect plan!

[dinopoke]

But Aran would be in gaol and Frozen won't get much action being crippled.

Perfect plan my ass! Unless this is what you want Jickle...

[Tukenstein]

Wait, shi-

My house has no hot water. My testicles have left the building.

[Halt, Hammerzeit]

When I first moved into the place I'm in now, the first day I was there all our water stopped working. Took us a while, but we evetually discovered that our mains taps are actually at the back of the house, which backs on to a main road and can only be accessed from that road and someone decided it would be funny to turn them off.

[Mellomaniac]

wait?!

[Spazzallo]

Just got told from my girlfriend of over 3 years that she can't trust herself and that during one stage of our relationship, she was only with me because she had no other friends.

I feel ****ing wonderful. Time for a sleepless night hoping that it was just all the stress shes under from TAFE/Work/Placements.

[Sytadel]

Work has gotten very political lately. Basically, my boss called me in to her office for communication issues. I was called in and accused of being arrogant, socially oblivious, and (worst of all) a poor therapist. She said at least 4-5 staff had complained personally about me and I was at risk of being ostracised, which is unacceptable and means I'd be fired. I thought I was doing really well, so I was basically stunned in to silence and ended up painfully reflecting on a lot of things for a day or two.

After that time I had realised that - while what my boss said was confronting - I was willing to learn whatever social rules I was missing in order to keep my job, which I love. I was sort of calm but still suspicious of what therapists had raised issues with me.

The real turning point came the following day when another therapist was saying, on an unrelated issue, that a completely untrue rumour had been raised about her that she had to formally address with our boss. She started talking about a "clique"... I took a deep breath and told her, and another girl in the room, about my situation. Another guy joined in and tuned in too. By the end of the day, I had about 6-7 therapists on my side who told me that this scenario had happened repeatedly throughout the course of the centre.

I've been encouraged to lay low, but I really want to actually build a long, good relationship with my boss because one day I'd like to do my PhD research on an outcome study of the centre. To do this I can't afford to allow myself to be bullied or controlled, and need to really approach this issue as an equal rather than as a subordinate. If I have a relationship of subservience, I'll have trouble exerting influence when conducting my own study, not to mention I'd have to spend three years dealing with someone I don't like.

Anyway, work politics suck. You'd think an NPO therapy provider, of all places, would be better than that.

[Theiffy]

I don't envy you one bit Syt! That seems really odd to me 'cause you seem like the type to really professional at work and nothing like what they are saying (You can be like an arrogant bastard in front of us, but that's a different story ;P)

Think I'm slowly slipping back into depression as my life doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Despite my best efforts I still don't have a job, a girlfriend or a real purpose in life. What a shit year this has been :/

I gave up looking for a purpose in life a couple of months ago. I've found that anything I try to achieve I will inevitably(sp?) won't. I just go with the flow and going with an extremely general plan (ie, buying houses, building wealth, etc) and hoping that the rest will fall in place. It does help that I'm actually working a job I enjoy now, which makes the rest bareable.

[Stevorooni]

Yeah well I don't love my job, I can barely tolerate it at the best of times but I have no idea what I'd rather be doing so I'm just paying the bills for now.

All I want out of it is to rock up, work my 8 hours and go home, then get paid once a week. I was told yesterday that I should be more enthusiastic after I nodded in agreement to something instead of verbally saying the word 'yes'.

My attitude at the moment basically is You pay me = I do work for which I am paid to a satisfactory level. No one owns my emotions and I get along ok with co-workers and have mastered the art of pretending to like clients, I just get irritable when I'm trying to work on something and get interrupted (mostly by my boss asking a question he's asked 10000 times before) every 5 minutes, but wouldn't anyone?

Think I'm slowly slipping back into depression as my life doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Despite my best efforts I still don't have a job, a girlfriend or a real purpose in life. What a shit year this has been :/

You think that's bad, some dickhead named Aiden is eating my lunch, I'm going to punch the **** in the face by the end of the semester!

Been there.

My advice to you is to drop what you're doing and pursue something that you're genuinely interested in. If you can't get a job, look into doing a course. There's no point in moping around complaining about how bad your life is, because you're the only one who can do something about it.

I nearly fell into that trap, and it it almost killed me. That was the shock to the system I needed. In the last two years I've gone from a dead-end job in a rural Aussie town, to living and studying in Melbourne, to living in Japan and learning Japanese. All it took was a little determination, and willingness to take a sledgehammer to my comfort zone.

It's not impossible, but remember that nobody is going to live your life for you. Take some initiative.

I'm sure all that Post-Traumatic Stress will do wonders for your depression.

On a related side note, I'm amused by that Defence Force ads generally focus on the whole fulfilment aspect of the job and whatnot but seem to gloss over the fact that it's an occupation whose primary purpose is killing (particularly the one with the guy learning how to operate the surface to air missile and talks about the feeling of accomplishment he gets from being able to use it properly).

Don't be silly Frozen, Australia can't afford guns that actually work.

Wow, these housemates of yours must have very high standards if they're kicking you out because you were depressed. I'd hate to see what would happen if you left rings on the dining table because you didn't use a coaster.

I had sleep paralysis when I woke up today. Second time it's happened to me now.

Was having a nightmare where I was in some sort of wooden-floored gymnasium, laying on my stomach whilst trying to evade being killed by something. Being that I sleep on my stomach on a Japanese futon (a traditional sort of low bed) and have wooden floorboards in my apartment, I woke up and thought I was still dreaming. Very strange feeling.

So I tried to get up, but couldn't move. At all. Kinda felt like someone was standing on my back, pinning me down. You can struggle all you want, and nothing happens. Couldn't move my arms, couldn't say anything. It's a very scary thing to have happen to you, I assure you. This lasted around a minute before it 'broke' and I was able to roll off my bed.

Anyone else experienced it before?

[FrozenSoul80]

Anyone else experienced it before?

Personally, no. But I remember a lot of stories from people in the old dream thread. Freaky shit, I hope I never get to experience it.

[Cerebral]

Anyone else experienced it before?
Used to, not anymore.

The worst was when I had it once during a lecture (yes I fall asleep in lectures what of it). The hardest part was struggling to wake up but not forcing too hard in case I make a huge scene (successful attempts at home usually result in me crying out)

Possibly once when I was napping on the couch during the day. Though then again, that might have been more "Meh, I can't be arsed moving."

But, uh, who the hell are Brainjunk? All we could find is the MySpace page of the company's "programmer", Brandon Gardner, who is a student at Westwood College Online. And it appears Gardner is, conveniently, a massive Twilight fanboy.

[Stevorooni]

I really don't want to go to work today

Yesterday was a nightmare, flip flopping between various projects, being told to work on one, then not on one, then back onto it again, then told not to work on something that I wasn't even working on anyway, then I'd get interrupted every 5 minutes by my boss re-asking questions I've answered 10,000 times before that would ruin my concentration. In the end I just gave up on being able to do anything productive and just stared at the screen waiting out to clock so I could go home.
Then my boss would take issue with the fact that I seemed kind of irritated. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? I AM ****ING IRRITATED

Stop sitting on it then.

I've actually had this happen to me a few times. You know you are sleeping and you need to wake up but your body will not respond.

McDonalds over here is pretty different.

There's an entire menu of things that're 100 yen. Like, burgers, drinks, etc. You can go there and feed yourself for $2-3 if you're so inclined.

The normal menu is almost entirely different as well. Go in there and order a McChicken, and you'll get a chicken schnitzel in the bun instead of a processed patty. Then there's the random stuff like McShrimp and McRib... And free DSi Ware Dragon Quest games over WiFi.

I don't often eat it because... well... Mos Burger shits all over it.

I don't know what bank you're with, but the Commonwealth Bank puts the interest earned in a year on the 1st July on its Netbank to make it easy. Then you can print it off if you need to or just submit it.

[Lazlow]

I am with Commonwealth, but its only listing this accrual period deposit interest, everything else is nil.

At least you got a reponse. I ordered some stuff last year, requested registered post, got a copy of the original postage statement as a response, then laughed when the items got lost in the mail and I got a full refund.
