    Between Pokemon Diamond, Platinum, Heart Gold, and Black versions, I probably have about 2000 hours of play time

    I was looking through the clubs at my college.

    They have a pokemon league.

    Seriously thinking about joining.

    postin'. instead of registering for classes like I should be.

    I've been in and out for like two weeks.

    up and down. I started college in january of last year, just finished my AA and I'm starting at UW this fall. trying for the creative writing program but if that falls through english lit'll do me fine. Also, I quit the bookstore last March because they made my ex-girlfriend the new assistant manager. It was pretty rad.

    yeah I took some time off from the internet.

    oh I thought I asked you what's new but apparently I forgot. You done with digipen yet? how's lindsay?

    for solo acting I did the Mad as Hell scene from Network

    Made it to quarterfinals in state! And got knocked out by another member of our team

    When did you play and was your team good enough to go to any regional/national tournaments? (Assuming you weren't based in Alabama.)

    I also played in college, but I don't remember if we ever played South Carolina.

    I am pretty sure the first pornography I ever saw was when one of the members there IM'd me an image of Tea and Mai from Yugioh scissoring each other
    the first porn i ever saw was an amateur sex journal from a pair of exhibitionists

    i had deleted 'japan' from the search box on dogpile.com and typed in 'sex'

    the first time i saw a blowjob i couldn't understand it because i was like seven and had never had an erection

    i audibly said 'gross'

    however, i tried to save an image of breasts to a floppy disk, because it could only really fit one andi wanted to brag to my friends later

    it ended up being a swordfish-esque progress bar race, as it slowly downloaded over a 14.4 modem and my parents called me up to dinner

    i had no idea why it was so important to me to do this, but it was like the NOC list from mission impossible

    I have spent a lot of time on PS2 / Gamecube / Xbox message boards, trying earnestly to convince people that all three of those consoles had their merits and that they shouldn't make fun of one another.

    I was also a regular on one of IRC's biggest anime channels for a few years.

    i had no idea why it was so important to me to do this, but it was like the NOC list from mission impossible

    My parents were always super-anti-sex or anything and that rubbed off on me to the point where I didn't really even think about sex or porn

    like I said earlier I've had one girlfriend when I was 16 and in retrospect I could have had so much sex if I wasn't puritanical about it at the time

    like to the point where she'd basically be straight-up asking me to feel her up and I was all "that's not really appropriate"

    I read through the entire achewood archive last summer in-between doing actual work

    when you give a teenager a fucking desk and internet access and say "okay now get this done whenever" you are opening yourself up to a lot of issues


    The summer before that was the entire Penny Arcade archive.

    the first porn I ever saw was a single tattered page torn from a Hustler, pulled from a black plastic garbage bag by one of the older kids in my neighborhood

    it was of a nude woman on her knees in the praying position in front of a man standing with his arms crossed looking down at her

    it blew my mind

    Back in the day, the Alabama organization that did state competitions was super lame. Among other things, they had a "knowledge contest" which was basically this multiple choice quiz of computer trivia. I recall it being pretty bad, as in, there were a few things where I knew they were wrong but I knew what answer they meant. Even dumber is that at state, they had another test to determine the winner. Except it was the EXACT SAME TEST. I won, though.

    Our sponsor forgot to enter us into the contest again my senior year, and I was so mad because it meant I couldn't defend my title. I begged into the test by telling the proctor, "Look, I won this damn thing last year."

    Guess what? Same test again. I asked the grader afterward and yeah, I would've won the region. Oh well.

    like for some reason I was on an Alice in Wonderland kick and I had seen a really cool painting of Wonderland so I GIS'd it and then a picture of a sexy alice would come up and maybe a few days later I would GIS it again because you know maybe some more cool alice in wonderland artwork has been made recently and oh hey there are some more sexy women in blue dresses how about that
