Church is awesome since it's both what you are interested in. It's a starting point. Unless you want to catch up for lunch and sit there being all nervous umming and erring claiming you like frogs for no reason at all.
It's also not entirely about the church date. Church ends at what, 10, 11? Then if it goes well you head out for lunch and end the date at 2 or so. Unless it's going super well then you can continue it or claim you need to do something and call her later on.
Of course, In reality a church date with 2 church goers probably isn't going to be that exciting. I doubt there's much time to talk in between whatever goes on in church with all the reading and singing, unless you have a deep manly singing voice, then a lunch or dinner date is probably your safest bet.
There's no harm in asking, Especially since;
a) she isn't a girl you see often so there's no real need to be embarrassed and like, oh shit there she is, if she says no.
b) it's facebook, So you have the false sense of being someone anon and hopefully she wont tell anyone that tee-hee that legend guy totally asked me out. It will just be between you and her in a private setting.
c) you've wanted a lady forever, so type out the message and when you get nervous about pressing the send button, read something that will pump you up then randomly hit that button and panic. It's the only way to do it.
Good luck. Go get your waifu!

Eating my tub of cottage cheese today is a struggle, feeling a little dry reachy. Think it's on the cusp of being off.

Put some whey in it and make protein pudding.

I manged to get it down, it's all good now.
Roosters, you going to the footy tonight at Blue tongue?
Haha, I know. Church is just a silly laughable date idea. A bit of fun.
Yea just send her a message about a date and see how she goes. You should be fine, Even if she says no at least you got over the hurdle of asking someone out on a date. Then you can ask all the girls.
Good luck Legend. I myself have a date with a seemingly sweet girl Saturday.
Oh this I'll cosign. I just hate how GDC is being reported on as if it's a media event with exclusive reveals (!) and shocking industry people saying shocking things (!!). It's meant to be industry folks talking shop and showing each other how they do their stuff for mutual benefit.

In a good mood! Awesome weather (probably playing the largest part), Friday, long weekend, two day working week coming up, grand prix, Future Music Festival on Sunday, two awesome live gigs in the space of a week, a third tonight, Windpad, new Archer... that's about it, I think! Only downside is I haven't been going to bed as early as I should have been, meaning I've been getting very little sleep on top of the nights where I actually have an excuse for going to bed late.
Also, everyone needs to watch the most recent New Girl available on the internets. It's poignant and funny, really quite heartwarming and awesome. If you're sitting on the fence about the show, watch it. It'll get you watching the rest of them.
Take off four rubber feet. Unscrew screws from these holes. Unscrew screws. Unscrew screws around power supply connector. Separate back of device, leave it face down as the guts are on the screen side (be careful, there's one or two buttons that could easily be lost). Blammo, you're done.
What kind of ram does it use >.> Regular notebook ddr2? Also does it have a free slot of do you need a 4gb stick?

Wait you can upgrade Windpads? Motherfucker. Now I want one. Especially if 8 is as good on it as you guys are suggesting. I wish I was better at decisions, I've decided to buy about 5 different brands in the last week.
No idea off the top of my head, Google would be your friend though. Just notebook RAM, but not sure exactly what type. Whatever I pulled out of my dead Thinkpad.
It's a PC. Of course storage can be upgraded! Mind you, the only upgrades you can do are storage (or anything that would fit into an mPCIE/mSATA socket) and RAM.

Watched the trailer. Can say it looks interesting. The "tablet" would need to be pretty fucking accurate and non-shit unlike the uDraw one, which is pretty awful.

Just want to say a big FUCK YOU YOU CUNTY CUNTS to GE Creditline and their fucking hopeless cunts of an Indian callcentre who gave me shitty advice and cost me more money than I am happy with.
Paying off an engagement ring and decided to pay a lump sum off the loan, call their "call centre" and am greeted by a thick accent apparently in sunny Melbourne. Told him that I wanted to pay half of it off in one go so I don't have to bother making monthly payments, he says it is a great idea and to do that.
Fast forward 3 months to when I finally get a letter in the mail saying I have been charged $25 a month overdue fees PLUS 30% interest on those overdue fees! I call up and another call centre monkey (not a slur on his ethnicity, a slur on his profession and modicum of care towards the customer) who proceeds to tell me off for doing so and that I must be lying because no-one would ever tell me that. I told him to go fuck this shit and to close my account and I would transfer the money to end the loan.
The balls to charge me interest on overdue fees I didn't even know I had! Fucking cunts. Apparently they count as 'cash advances' which is also fucking bullshit considering the loan was 24 months interest free.
Will be mailing an angry letter to GE on Tuesday.

Why is any image I upload of my new avatar not maintain the transparency aaaaaaaaaaar. PNG doesn't work, GIF doesn't work (wtf?)..
I'm stuck on a linux box at the moment but can someone like, take this image:
which looks lovely and PNG transparency rocks etc etc and make it work somehow with GAF's stupid uploader, maintaining the transparency?
If I upload, the entire background becomes white, as seen on my avatar currently.
Halp.
edit: oh i just realised why. I think it's too big so GAF had to resize. derp.
edit2: yay looks nice now. 100px in width is seriously too small. 120 would be way better. but what ya gunna do.

The old width, back before the great avatar neutering, was 90 pixels, so I guess that's something.

Have to go to the tasting for our Wedding reception, arseholes originally said it would be free but now are charging us $70. Another nice chunk of money out of the wallet this week after finally saving up some money towards the wedding
Also mates bucks night next weekend is getting more and more expensive, tempted to say fuck it and pull out but it would be incredibly rude.

RPS is blocked at work!?! Madness! Strange choice by the IT guys too, we have Facebook and Youtube blocked but most other things are open.What did he say? Blocked at work
So much fun in Hahndorf haven't been in years. My boss stayed at a cabin place up there though at said it was awful, hadn't changed the sheets and the cabin was on a lean and just everything was awful. He agreed with me that the village itself is awesome though which was nice to know my childhood memories weren't false.
Magners was/is $4 a bottle at Aldi! Also they have Monteiths Sparkling Ale for $3 a bottle! Insanely cheap
See if she wants to grab some lunch after church next time or go see a movie or check out a book store.
Would LOVE video from all the panels, GDC is so much more interesting to me than e3, kind of like Gamasutra but in fleshy form.
GAF already did all the work, just add a link to it. Although calling out a fellow journalist isn't the best professional move to make.
Not that I'm pointing at anyone specifically, but the complete lack of oversight or professional conduct amongst games journalists at large is why they have the low degree of respect they do. The clickbait blogsites including eurogamer, kotaku and increasingly edge are doing little research, sensationalising rumours and regurgitate press releases.
The problem lies in the fact they only get info from publishers after signing ndas. That in itself sets off alarm bells. We saw it this generation with no one going after rrod, ea stealing games, skyrim not working at all and the incessant claims about these great western games.
The industry is 90% worthless sycophants. The only ones of merit are the few who write buyers guides independently. Like retro gamer. The only professional mag or site that deserve any respect.

Explain. I've heard nothing on the story, but machetes are not cool.
WHO?????????????
TRIBALCONFLICT, HE GOT CAUGHT UP, NOT HIS FAULT
Let me get this straight. The cultural relativism relates to him being a footballer yes? Because the last five years have taught me that rape, drug abuse, hit and run, driving a murderer away from a crime scene, assault and corruption are never your fault if you can kick a ball around for money.
yep. West coast or hawthorn will pick him up instead.
turn on your cynicism detector

Well hey, some Europeans did some bad stuff to some Aboriginals a (relatively) long time ago so we should excuse any wrongdoing committed by Aboriginals because it's our fault for fucking them up so badly.
So, for those of you not using the Twitters, myself and 3 others were fired today. The target figures weren't hit and so the low people on the totem pole that aren't in a position to contribute in a way that is meaningful to them were let go.
We've been invited to return and work our last day on Monday, which I will because I need the money. They knew this was coming and left it until the last minute, because they're cunts. The people who weren't fired were in a position to reel in the big fish needed to hit the targets. One of them is a lazy fucking bitch who only turns up and works when she feels like it, which isn't often; the other knows the right person, but seems to actually do stuff, he's actually alright.
Seriously, myself and 2 others have been sick as dogs and still come in and work. This other fucking cunt of a woman rocks up when she feels like it, calls in a "personal" day when the pressure is on to reach our target, whilst the rest of us slog it out. Even when she makes a vague attempt at work, she's too fucking thick to understand what's in front of her. Fuck this cunt, I'm going to blame my loss of a job on her. Now she gets to stay on, get paid to fuck around and accomplish nothing. I'm inclined to dob the bitch in tomorrow, because the people who should know better clearly can't see it, or are distracted by her tits or something.
Yes, it's clearly a cunt of a place that has no respect for anyone, but it paid my bills.
Even if you don't care about the rant above (Especially Choc), please read this bit: Also, the person I work with, who is cool as hell, put something on layby today. She, like myself and the other now jobless person, thought the job might last a little longer than it has. The layby deposit is marked as "non-refundable", is this legal? I thought non-refundable deposits weren't allowed any more. If any one knows anything about this, please advise. I haven't found any fair trading documents to support this, but I thought they'd be out there if I'm right.
Edit: Boo, 2nd last post from the bottom of the page. I hope people see this.
