    Quite well, actually. I've taken a different approach from my previous "results-based" strategy. Basically, I just have a good time with her and see how things go, rather than trying to maneuver towards getting the first kiss, or acknowledging a specific relationship status. It's working pretty well so far, I had a great time last night.

    This is how things are supposed to go.

    Also how I get laid. :P

    "Got." He mis-typed.

    Yeah, definitely. It's the thing you most associate with the person writing, since styles can be very similar depending on the topic, and the av causes you to associate things with the person behind it. It is why, for instance, I think of ElJeffe as a grumpy old prospector.

    Back when Mal was my avatar, people used to hear his voice when reading my posts. It made for some funny moments.

    The avatar thing is ruined once you meet people though, Hacksaw for example, is not menacing in real life, his avatar has no effect on me because I know his lanky-ass is sort of cute in an oafish, dorky way and not scary at all.

    250mb 24-hour period quota at my new apartment. Kill me now.

    Jesus Christ... Why did you move in there?

    I... I didn't know how bad it was when I signed on the dotted line. That'll show me, I guess. This is the only place I know of around here with four bedroom, four bathroom apartments. My girlfriend and I wanted to move in together but wanted others around for the first year, so her roommate joined us. My ex-roommate (who is currently in Japan) will join us in August. We didn't have much of a choice, unfortunately.

    Time to look for open access points.

    Already did, swing and several misses. However the next couple weeks is going to see many people move in and out, so we'll see what happens. It's also important to note they don't just cut access at 250mb, just throttle down to 700/700.

    Everything's fine Obo, thanks for asking. In fact, the reason I don't post much is that I'm super-busy with a half-dozen different things (none of which involve me getting laid, unfortunately). I've been travelling to job interviews and preparing my course next term while researching for a paper I want to write and advancing my research, and making job applications in my free time.

    How are things with you? Still resisting the urge to kill your sister?

    Don't have sex with people whose sexual history you're not familiar with. What, do you want STDs?

    No, she stopped resisting that urge about three days ago.

    Yeah, she's alive. I'm spending my time effectively locked in the apartment, or running her errands, until Monday night when she's going to try and commit me again. Also medication, medication mishaps, near-death experiences, and an ever-growing string of rejections by doctors. Oh, also, AWOL bloodwork.

    It's like, I avoided the system for a long time because the system had failed me, and now the system is failing harder. :|
