    First Year

    All the best, dude.
  2. Hahli Husky and DV are super great and know what they're talking about much more than I do, but I might as well try and add something here. Except you don't seem to realise that the reason there aren't more women in roles such as those is because of sexism? And that there would be much more women in work like that if women were afforded the same opportunities as men? And that the unequal ratio of men to women in media is a part of this problem? I get where you're coming from, but I think you're again missing the issue. Sure, in a perfect world, the ratio of men to women in any particular story wouldn't be such a huge deal. But where we are, the ratio of men to women in media and stories and whatnot is constantly skewed towards the men, so it's kind of a big deal? The problem is that an unequal ratio towards the men is the norm. And it really, really shouldn't be.
  3. This happened a while ago, but basically, a guy I know straight up offered me a job in his photography shop. He said he's having trouble doing all the work himself and that he'd teach me how to edit, print and frame photographs to a professional standard. It was an amazing offer, because I mean, it's not every day you just get offered a job, let alone a job you'd actually enjoy. But of course I couldn't take it. I can still hardly cope with basic day to day life and there's no way I'd last working in a shop. It's been a while, but I'm still upset and frustrated about it, because it was such a fantastic offer and I don't know if I'll ever get an opportunity like that again.
  4. Dude, I've been considering making an entry a bit like this myself. I've often thought that all the other years of BIONICLE really needed something like the MNOG. I should really go and write my ideas out.
  5. So I was in O'Connell street in Dublin a while back. If you've ever been to O'Connell street or anywhere near it, you'll know that we have this giant pointy metal thing called the Spire of Dublin, which is I guess the Irish Government's idea of a tourist attraction. I've seen the Spire loads of times, and I've always thought it was a pretty bland idea for a monument. But last time, it hit me that there is actually a way to rectify the situation. Give me a Kaiju movie where a Jaeger rips out the Spire of Dublin and uses it as a weapon. Someone get me Guillermo del Toro on the phone.

  7. So I got out of bed this morning (and by "this morning" I mean "midday" because I was up late okay) opened my window for a bit of fresh air, and was greeted by a cat mewing at me from the path. I said hello, and next thing I knew it had jumped up and got in my window. I petted it a bit and then it jumped onto the floor and proceeded to scout my entire room out, because I guess that's what cats must do. It didn't seem in any hurry to leave so I let it up to the kitchen. Long story short, I think I made friends with a kitty? It eventually wandered out another window, but not before it spent like 15 or 20 minutes excitedly checking everything in kitchen out, and also coming over to me and rubbing itself off my legs. I hope it comes back again.

    My Mood Today

    Today's emotions have actually just been good. And to express my happiness I couldn't think of anything more fitting than an image of David Bowie majestically playing a guitar during sunset.
  11. So if any of you remember, I got a skin biopsy a few months back. I thought they would have been well done with the sample by now, but they're still testing it, and it's ACTUALLY SHOWING STUFF UP DO YOU KNOW HOW GOOD THIS IS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It's complicated, but how I understand it so far: They've found my metabolism isn't breaking down fatty acids properly, which my doctor is excited about because apparently it explains so many things. Poor energy, difficulty exercising, muscular discomfort, stress on the liver, the need to eat often, they all make sense if I'm unable to properly break down fatty acids. I'm not getting an important source of energy and it also causes stress on other parts of the body. The whole thing is confusing and there's much more to it than I can do justice, but you get the idea. It's a huge step forward and I'm really, really happy that we finally have a clue what's going on. It's going to take more time for them to determine exactly where in the metabolic processes things stop working, but in the meantime, they're putting me on medication in the hopes that it will aid my metabolism. It's unlikely to be the cure, but it'll hopefully be a boost/help until they can pinpoint exactly where things aren't working. I've waited so many years for this. I'm so happy.
  12. I'm an ISTJ, whatever that is? I'm really not sure I trust the results here, because a lot of the questions I couldn't answer accurately either way, so it felt a bit like flipping a coin. I'm not sure I got anything useful out of it. Only bits of the ISTJ description ring true.
  13. Today a wonderful amazing person turns 18 and you should wish him a happy birthday okay
  14. Today one of my best bros, VampireBohrok, turns 18. Wish him a happy birthday or else. <3

    Hey, remember when I used to do those "my mood today" entries?
  18. I'm really excited to see what sort of Jaeger they use to take down Godzilla.
  19. Get some decent paper so I can photograph that one black and lime MOC with the Corroder spikes because yes that's finished

    An apology

    I just assume everything I do is going to look really stupid later. So far so good.
  21. Kakaru as a staff member you should know better than to stretch the page like thYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm pretty sure Google is going to either take over or destroy the world.
  22. Okay, maybe this is old news, but I was looking through Boston Dynamics' videos on YouTube, and I came across this thing: It's a freaking humanoid robot with a (kind of) spherical upper torso with a blue eye thing in it. It's even called Atlas. I am now convinced these people are turning into Aperture Science.
