Damn English for having a lexical gap for a word meaning something that is both creepy and cute at the same time.

I'm going to make one!

Choomiable. Yes/yes?

Choomiable...

Boy, Babette in the Dark Brotherhood sure is choomiable.

Hmm, I don't know.

Depends on the context. Although, first thought was an over active otaku screaming out "Kwaii!!!!! Ban-chan is SOOOOO choomiable" which is most definitely creepy.

No choomiable? :<

And why NOT have one word to describe things? Having variety is what keeps language interesting :O

I was just thinking of this character:



And wanting a word to describe him.

then I stopped

I think the problem with "choomiable" is that it implies "something that is able to be choomed" and I dunno how that relates, mostly because I don't know what chooming is, though I'm willing to learn.

Hm, that's a good point. I was mostly just trying to make it sound like adorable without thinking of its various parts.

I suppose it could be choomy. But now that I think about it that sounds a bit too much like chewy. I don't want to eat these things.

No. :|

Um... woomsy?

You can see I seem to be set on having "oo" somewhere in there.

I probably shouldn't be thinking of these things when I'm about to collapse into bed. Or perhaps that is the best time?

Woomsy makes me think of the sickeningly sweet things newlyweds say to each other. "My little woomsy moomsy cuddles wuddles"

Here's something that's getting a tad trying: My alma mater SF&F convention has been shifting very strongly in the anime direction. This in itself is not an issue. I tend to do a lot of things that I personally view as fun, such as stiltwalking and hula hooping, throughout much of the weekend.

I get approached by girls frequently, and they're all excited to meet me and beaming to chat with me. This in itself is not an issue.

They get all in my personal space. This in itself is not an issue.

They are almost always physically fit (or at least not very unheathy), especially since my particular interests that bring them over tend to be rather exercisey in nature. This in itself is not an issue.

They very often are wearing ... not a lot. This in itself is not an issue.

Their ages almost always start with the number "1". This is the part that I have qualms with.

It seems that my particular interests tend not to line up with any girls who are twenty years or more old. And I have to train myself to instantly switch tracks from "Wow, this girl has a pretty good looking abdomen and/or a rather large chest measurement for her height and can keep up an interesting conversation" all the way over to "Huh, this kid whom I'm not interested in at all just used one of the following red alert terms: my mom; track team; Naruto; I'm older than I look". The last term only recently added to my vernacular for "not old enough", as I'm finding that girls who look like they're in their low to mid 20s will turn out to be in their high teens if they say that people always tell them that they look younger than they are.


tl;dr: Exercise-oriented fun activities do not seem to appeal to girl geeks in their twenties and thirties. I am cursed but luckily am able to keep the ... mini-creepettes at bay.

...can I swap with you? I'm 20 so it wouldn't be too weird >_>

I don't know how old I look. I'm terrible at associating ages with people. Like I have no idea.

I want to watch the new Game of Thrones but my dad doesn't, and he clearly gets TV control D:

And actually, you still haven't told me what the hell that game you gifted me is? I haven't downloaded it yet. I'm guessing it is a beta of some sort, but it's quite a big download.

I only play games with incredible choom. How much choom would you say this game has got?

Yes, its beta. I had 5 extra invites and I picked people at random for gifts.

Think Team Fortress 2 but set in a different environment and thats what that game is.

Okay, so there are different classes you can have. Could be interesting.

How much do you play it? I may join a game with you. I'll show you my amazing choom.

UK :(

EDIT: So I've just seen this. I'm really tempted to apply, 'cause experience in the gaming industry seems to be ridiculously important, and it seems to be really rare to find anything for graduates. Plus I'm friends with someone who's friends with a guy who works there (friend = guitarist of Above Them, guy who works there = singer/guitarist of Above Them), so that'd be pretty cool.

...time to get on the old CV/covering letter thing.

EDIT2: Well hey, DECK'ARD is the creator of Worms.

Time to make a new friend.

At 31, I'm noticing small bits of grey hair, and just last night I plucked some hair from my ears. I frequently feel hangovers the night-of instead of the morning after, and sometimes I ache when I move.

Don't feel too bad. One of my friends has grey hair at 22. Heat packs and water will solve everything else.

Ohhh, goodness. I just gave a $5k hunk of cash to my Mortgage Masters after saving up in very bizarre and probably unhealthy ways. FIrst time I've been able to pay directly into the principle of that loan. I am now worth roughly negative one hundred thousand dollars. Excellent step in the right direction.

Does that count the Master Race class of games? Because it's always time for Civ

Triffly?

Anyway, since I received Trine 2 now I have a giftable copy of Trine on Steam. Anyone want it but not have it? I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't have it but would enjoy it.

Trine's great. I haven't beaten it.

It goes like this

you warrior and then you thief and then you wizard and then you warrior and then you wizard and then you thief and then you wizard and then you warrior!

Bah, you're just playing along now. "Trine" is just another of Lissar's fake words, like "giftable". I mean, come on, how would one even start making a table out of gifs??

edit: hey, wait, is that a real pic again?

If they were in boxes, it would be pretty easy to make a table out of them! Perhaps not too stable, but who needs stability, amirite?

Real pic? Where? *looks around*

Looks like I'm sending my Wii in tomorrow, except now I've discovered a new problem. I replaced the batteries in my Wii remote with brand new ones, only to have the remote drain away the life of the batteries almost immediately after I put them in. This isn't right, so do I ask Nintendo to fix that too?

I haven't got Trine, but I'm not sure if I would end up playing it anyway. I have so many games I haven't played yet. Trine doesn't excite me enough for me to play it over other games.
