I just had a really nice afternoon. Aced my Japanese exam, and then the whole class, most of whom I had never spoken to, went to get drinks. Turns out everyone are huge nerds (big surprise for a Japanese class right?) So we just talked about dota and cosplay and whatever while we watched the election. It looked like Romney was gonna win for a while there D:

What?!! omg, How did I miss that?!! that's awesome!!!

I wish my boyfriend was a Gaffer...

Election is making me feel better but I have another 250 words to pour into this piece of shit essay I'm completing and then edit in the references and just like, burn it or something because this is fucked, this is fucked, I'm not getting good marks this semester

Played dota 2 for the first time today, first time playing a moba game too. It was alright, I have a friend teaching me the ropes though I still suck at the game obviously :(. Only practiced with one hero though.
 
So who's ready for a 1000 years of darkness?

I know I am

EDIT: Holy shit, an openly gay senator was elected? More progress being made folks
 
I was playing Awesomenauts earlier, and someone mentioned that weed was legal in Colorado (that was his Steam name, even). When i mentioned that I didn't smoke, he flipped and called me a "child-raping shit lord."

Haven't been called that one yet.

In case you were curious about how to reach a woman's heart.
 
Oh man, that's taken some stress out of work, my screens aren't being released on Monday. I don't have to rush through finishing up and making a test plan :D
 
I'm so happy how the election turned out, was really worried Romney would win there for a bit. Really happy we have an openly gay senator too, progress is slow, but it does happen. :)

I made it through 2 alright but never finished Revelations, just tired of the whole formula. Never played brotherhood. Do not plan on playing III.

I never got into the series, but I saw the ending of the third game because a friend passed the video to me. It sure was something lol.

Hey, guys! Thanks to CrudeDiabtribe (whom you should be showering with compliments, gifts, and possible sexual favors depending on sobriety), the database we're using for Secret Santa is finally up. So here's the registration URL:

http://realgafsanta.lonelyfridge.com/registration.php

This is for Real-GAF only, this is not a GAF-at-large Secret Santa. Not anything against anyone else, that would just be too big and unmanageable. So if you're not part of this community, exercise your best judgment. Similarly, don't join if you don't think you can recirporcate presents - this is a big circle of gift-giving to people you hopefully consider friends. We don't want anyone stiffed on this.

OKAY THAT'S ALL THE BAD STUFF OUT OF THE WAY. If you haven't clicked the URL yet, here's what you'll need to be inputting: Your GAF name, your Real Name, your e-mail (don't put a fake one, it is how you will get your Santee information), your address, and any notes and Game Systems you want to add. Try using the last area to put, say, Steam names or what you would like.

The registration will officially close on November 10th, midnight eastern standard time, so you have that long to register. After that, e-mails will be disbursed and everyone will find out who they are buying for. Crude and I will be looking over everything to make sure there are no issues and everyone has a merry Christmas.

But everyone lives in weird places!

Kind of! Luckily, there are options. If you have someone on Steam, you can purchase through there for international people (note that there are rare game exceptions, such as Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, that will not boot up from IPs in Germany, so make sure you double-check on that sort of thing). There are several countries that have their own Amazon delivery, so barring maybe a phone call from your bank, that is a good way to get items to someone.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...8&docId=487250 - International hubs for Amazon

Usually you can just google "Amazon (country name)" and find what you're looking for and sometimes bigger Amazon hubs may ship to neighboring countries for cheap. So those are your best bets for buying those things for people.

If none of those options work, well...shipping options exist and they might not be TOO expensive. But hopefully it won't come to that. If there is a big problem that just can't be worked around, PM me and I'll see what we can figure out. It will probably involve me talking to the Santee to see what can be done.

But I'm awful at buying presents!

Probably! Most people are! But that's okay! Steam has a wishlist feature if you're going that route. If not, there's a notes section in the registration where hopefully your santee has decided to put what they wanted. And if that doesn't pan out, maybe look through their GAF post history and try and get a feel for what they might want.

And for all the santees, don't be a jerk! People are doing their best to shop for you, so don't get mad if you don't get exactly what you want. We're all friends here, so let's act like it. The important thing is to have fun with it!

Edit: After thinking about it, cap is $75, minimum is $10.

So, yeah, you know that test that I banned myself for 2 weeks for?

It, uh, didn't go as well as I thought it would. I guess there's still a smidgen of hope though.

edit: never been so devastated in my life. fuck

I knew I lived in a nice neighborhood, but god damn, I just found out I love in one of the wealthiest towns in the US

Dix Hills is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) on Long Island in the Town of Huntington in Suffolk County, New York, United States. Dix Hills was named one of the most affluent U.S. neighborhood by Forbes.[1] It is one of the most affluent communities in the state and is among the wealthiest towns in the United States. The population was 26,024 at the 2000 census.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dix_Hills,_New_York

strange, considering I'm poor as fuck

Dix Hills is served by the Half Hollow Hills Central School District and the Commack School District. The Half Hollow Hills elementary schools are Chestnut Hill, Forest Park, Otsego, Paumanok, Signal Hill, Sunquam, and Vanderbilt. The middle schools that serve the district are Candlewood Middle School and West Hollow Middle School. The high schools are Half Hollow Hills High School East and Half Hollow Hills High School West which both rank among the finest high schools in the nation. Commack Middle School and Rolling Hills Elementary, are both a part of the Commack School District, and are located within Dix Hills. Commack High School is ranked as the 95th best school in the country[2]

lol fuck? no way. I went to West, it was quite shit. East on the other hand is fucking awesome.

it's actually really depressing, driving around here seeing these baller ass houses, makes me so jelly lol some of them look like houses right out of an episode of cribs
 
I need to stop forgetting I can't drink coffee. Getting twitchy and wanting to run a Marathon isn't great when I'm trying to cram.
 
Protip: Make sure the door's properly unlocked when you go outside at 3 in the morning because you can't sleep and just remembered that the bins need taking out.

Thank fuck someone in the house was awake.

I don't understand people who think Skyfall's last third was worse than Casino Royale's last third. At least Skyfall felt like the same film.

EDIT: WHOOPS FORGOT I POSTED LAST OH WELL DOUBLE POST.
