You know what, I think I'm going to add this too my favourites. I like to look at it.

Why thank you. You know, for some reason, this didn't show up in my comments. It was only because I went back to look at it that I even knew it was here.

That's funny, for this whole week I have been getting told that I have 1 more messages than I actually do. Even when I have none. You are welcome.

That's strange. I suppose DA will never fully function properly.

I think it might simply be too big. From what I understand the mathematics of running a websight of this sort border upon witchcraft.
π: 0 β©: 1
That could be a reason. Is a cleansing in order?
π: 0 β©: 1
I have never really been the witch burning type. I am sure it's in order sometimes... but mystical technocratic sorts are, as a whole, a very frightening bunch. So, in answer to your question... yes.

But wait, then...who will run the site?
π: 0 β©: 1
Uhm... people who... are not... witches?
π: 0 β©: 1
Surely none but those with the technical know-how of witches are required? Perhaps we must recruit the Best Buy Geek Squad?
π: 0 β©: 1
Be careful with the geek squad, they tend not to understand the human element very well. (which reminds me, next time I go to Comicon I must cosplay as an Alpha Beta from Revenge of the nerds. That way I can just act furious and baffled the whole time, and harass women in costume.)

Once, a member of the Geek Squad fixed my iPod just by touching it. I was in awe. It broke again 3 weeks later and I had to get a new one but still. Awe. (I've...never seen Revenge of the Nerds.)

That's alright, the truth is that you aren't missing out much. I just like the idea of going to nerd central, where most poeple are dressing as deadly A-type personalities and go as someone that particularly hates nerds. (I have been at least somewhat nerdy all my life, but at comicon the instinct to give wedgies is always just as strong as the instinct to randomly test people on their Star Wars or Batman knowledge) I have seen Geek squadders work wonders, and just be stupid. Ideally you get someone that in prior decades would have been a suave gear-head car guy. Then you can rest assured of good service.

I've always wanted to go to a con, just to check it out. Most of my friends who are really into anime seem to have a lot of fun when they go.
Whenever I go, I tend to get a fast-talking Indian guy. He usually knows what he's doing.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think that I would overdose at an anime convention... the same would be true at a Star Wars or Star Trek convention... Comicon is wonderful though. It has some of everything, it is also enormous and overloads the senses... instant exhaustion, but then you get smarter and time slows down. They even have antique book sellers. The first thing to do is to buy a sketchbook, then go to artists alley and buy or beg sketches from all of your favorite artists and a few you have never heard of. 'tis cool.
Oh, that guy... we don't have him in California.
π: 0 β©: 1
Does Comicon travel or is it just in California? Getting sketches from various artists would be very nice...
That guy is also fluent in Russian, and uses it to help the Russian women who refuse to wait in line and just hover around in front.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, the real one is just in San Diego California. There is one that is nearly as good in Canada, and there's the sister convention in San Francisco California; Wondercon. New York has something similar that is growing in popularity... hmm.
That's cool, is there a large Russian population near your Best Buy?

Apperently there's something called Megacon in Orlando that costs quite a bit to attend. Are all cons pricey?
π: 0 β©: 1
Megacon is about as pricey as most. Truthfully, one should try to have a ludicrous amount of spending money anyway at such conventions. Also, it is rather silly not to go for the whole three-five days. The first time I went to Comicon I got my tickets late, so that was 60$, and my share of the motel room (there were five of us) was about 70$. I had maybe fifty dollars left after that, it all went to food. This last year, my second time, I spent just under 300 dollars total. It still wasn't quite enough. Really, these sort of things should be a big event, if it's a small time thing then it isn't worth the crowds or the price of admission. Next year, I will probably spend more time in artist's alley and spend less money. (but I will bring more.)

I actually came up with a reason behind his hair, mostly to justify it beingβ¦
Iβm glad you like the expression. I really wanted to capture that sort ofβ¦observing feeling.
π: 0 β©: 1
The big eyes are part of it, but I also think the slightly defensive (though still relaxed) posture and the lightly dissaproving mouth are a lot of it. That and the fact that his head is held at an angle different from his line of sight, like he is trying to hear something other than what he is watching. I have a friend that we all call Scooby. He is bisexual math whiz, with severe A.D.D. He has a more intense version of this expression when he can't follow the conversation. (quite a birdwalk)
π: 0 β©: 1
The phrase 'bisexual math wiz' gave me severe DΓ©jΓ vu. It almost disturbing. I can't remember where I've read that before.
Birdwalk?
π: 0 β©: 1
First, I am literate in editing and animation programs, but I don't really know standard word processing. How do you get those accents? Second, it is almost disturbing. Third, Scooby seems to actually be heterosexual, but women frighten him, so he takes what he can get.
Yes, birdwalk.(!)
π: 0 β©: 1
Usually, when Iβm not sure how to spell something and spellcheck wonβt help, I tend to type in whatever I think the word is into Wikipedia and copy/paste. I get accents that way.
What does he find to frightening about us?
Does he...walk like a bird?
π: 0 β©: 1
Good move. I also copy and paste for spelling. Mostly on names, because names don't stay in my brain long.
I don't know... I really don't. For a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, Scooby James can be very hard to figure at times.
No... but my chain of thought does.
π: 0 β©: 1
A heart worn on the sleeve is easily stolen.
Ah, now I get it. My chain of thought is often more of a small dog sort of walk.
π: 0 β©: 1
Direct and full of tiny punctuations?
π: 0 β©: 1
Rather, though in the case of sleeves, it usually happens more like this:
Scooby (for example): *walkin' down the street*
Someone: *Sees a heart on sleeve* Hey! Look at that!
Scooby: What? Oh, um that's my heart.
Someone: *grabs very rudely* Aw, it's so cute!
Scooby: Um, I kind of need that ...
Someone: I'm gonna play with it for a while, kay?
Scooby: No, really...
Someone: Thanks!
A week later
Scooby: You, um, you can keep it, if you want.
Someone: Naw, I'm bored. *tosses it back, where it falls to the floor and shatters* Whoops! Oh well. Nice knowing you! Bye! *leaves, never to be seen again*
Scooby: *is now alone, with a broken heart.* Crap.
No, that's how my thoughts organize when I let them out. I my head, they distract easily.

I think that happened to scooby a lot in college.
He he he. Thank God for brain filters.

Most likely by women, prompting a fear and preference for men?
And Spellcheck.

I... it's hard to say with Scooby. Usually these things make sense once you get a little history. I'd say yes, women. Also I think he just found it hard to talk to them, so gay men flocked to him first.
And cut and paste features.

...and then he just went with it?
and the undo button.

Scooby is a genius, I never said he was very bright.
I'm still thrilled about backspace... honestly.

Geniuses rarely every are...
There are some keys that I'm trying to figure out the purpose of {}_|~` I mean really.

He he he...
Yeah, I think they are mostly for math and coding... {} I just use those for parentheses in side of parenthises inside of parentheses.
Example: Zawyer (in this case I mean captain whamo [not the cartoon haracter, {well, that's debatable} the pith-helmet wearing roommate of my father] I sometimes just call him by his last name; Zawyer) smokes a pipe.

Oh, I think get it (the usage, not the sentence [what's a pith-helmet? {or more importantly, what sort of name is Zawyer?} And what kind of pipe?] you wrote) now.

For clarity:
(It was a bit confusing.)
[A pith helmets: [link] and [link] and he smoked tobacco pipes, Sherlock Holmes style.]

Good.

Thanks (Oh! One of those helmets. Where [And how? {Is it a German name?}] did he get one?) a bunch.
π: 0 β©: 1
You're welcome (I think he got it at a garage sale, [With money{Maybe Dutch}of course] I hear it was pretty dirty.) naturally.
π: 0 β©: 1
You're so (The helmet [He could have bartered {I still think it's German} something] or the transaction?) helpful.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ha ha, it seems that you know more about it than I (Though I do know that the helmet [which he {whom I have just been informed was of German descent} would have bragged about acquiring through barter] was rather dirty, the transaction might have been also{although Captain Whammo was an ethical fellow}) do about the subject.
π: 0 β©: 1
You'd be surprised at (Did he ever [Unless {Ha! I knew it} it was a shameful one] clean it the helmet up?) what information the internet can offer.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll bet that Mark Zawyer(Captain Whammo(who never[which suggests{

I actually looked in one of those genealogy sites, (Didnβt he later [We might not be talking about the same thing {donβt you roll your eyes at me, young man!} here] change it to Zammo?) which had something involving a 1922 German document with the name Zawyer on it.

Quite (I [That was {Good} a bit confusing]thought so) understandable.

You are a strange(that is to say unusual [though not in a bad way{as far as I can tell}]) girl.
I couldn't resist using a }]).

Alright (I'm sorry [I'm tired {let's move on?}]).
π: 0 β©: 1
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... ahh... Well, do you have today off? If so, how did you find yourelf tired at 5:20? Also I don't think you've anything to apologize for. I was suddenly struck by how odd our discussions usually are... so perhaps I should have said we're a strane... girl... um We are strange. That's what I should have said... well, perhaps I ought to have just thought it.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I did not have the day off, and part of me thinks I should have, but a stronger part of me thinks this is a stupid holiday and no one should get the day off for it. Our discussions usually are rather odd. Are we odd people? Maybe. Probably. Yeah, actually, I'd say we are.
