Yo...Kitkat. How are you doing today? Where are those 1000 posts? Dude you still have 999 posts to go. Please try your best to reach this number. I will be watching you achieve this.

I called in sick today, cause I don't feel very well. I have a slight fever, bit of a headache, feeling a bit nauseous and I'm paler than usual as well. So I'll just stay in bed today and rest.

Nice to get some rest. Hope you feel better soon Lin.

I fell asleep at my desk yesterday night. My back is killing me. Dx Note to self: buy more comfortable office chair.
Anyway. Good morning to whomever is here.

Good morning Lin. I woke up by one sime email notification buzz since 4am. Now just wandering on the net before time to get ready to work.

How about you? You are early.

Hi there, you're welcome o7, though I never really completely dissappear, I'm always observing all of you, always...

Lin
Hi there o7, I agree with mvl89, without you we're dead. (T^T)

So, how everyone doing? What you've been doing? The most I'm doing is play Dishonored again, besides that just vegetating at bed watching tv, or seeing some things at internet using phone, or sleeping, unless I'm working, when I go to work that is... (>_<)

As for me, there is nothing new. Just work, eat, and sleep. Haha...that is all my life in two short sentences.

You are here too.

Or am I? I was actually considering disappearing here for a while. I've been using this thread and this site as a distraction too much lately and I don't like the direction my mind is going hence. I'm still not too sure about it though.

At one point, i was thinking exactly like you. Either you or Su that said something to me that made me stay. Come on...this thread will absolutely die if you disappear. Yeah...you will end up taking this thread with you.

I'm also always here~~, sorry disappearing, kind of down lately, didn't use pc since my last post, even have a bunch of threads to read, I'll try to reply this weekend some of what you girls said, and try to show up more too... (>_<)

Hello Thia Sama.
Thank you for coming back.

How about we make Dofu our topic until she returns? We will secretly plan to surprise her at her engagement party whie she is away.

It won't die. I will give life to it before it runs out.

Let's hope someone else will be here to help you with that. You can't really revive a thread on your own, it'd take at least 2 or 3.

You are here too. Rain365 is always free. I volunteer her to be here. She can't refuse.

Hmmm...where is my wandering phantom partner these days. I also volunteer her too. Haha...

And we're back to silent mode... /sighs/ I hope this thread won't die without Dofu here.

It won't die. I will give life to it before it runs out.

I don't know if I should bother to bring something like that up to the team or not...

I'd advise against that. If she initially left a good impression and seems qualified to do the job, why ruin her reputation and her chances of getting it? Her possibly trying to pursue you, even if you two would be coworkers, is a personal issue you'd have with her, not a professional one. So why drag your team into this?

Actually i think Dofu should talk with her team members about this. First of all, in every interview being professional is very important. What if she comes on board and starts creating problems that might impact the team and her work? Well, if she has some very critical skills that no other candidates have then she may be worth considered. Otherwise go with choice #2.

elthundergato, Llama, Azai you're already fueling all my worries about leaping into wedding plans lmao... One step at a time. We have to get those rings on each other first. Wedding planning is something I've witnessed so many friends go through that it is now what I truly associate with nightmares lol o_o'

But thanks, really appreciate your support :*

Nice wedding planning.
If i ever get married it will be just signing a piece of paper with no family members to witness anything.

One of my smoke alarms is also very annoying. It is one of those that built through a walll but also requires a battery. When the battery runs low it will go off screaming. Even when i take off the battery it is still screaming. My other portable smoke alarms i can just remove the battery and they will stop screaming.

One time this built in smoke alarm ran low. For a whole week i couldn't make it stop beeping. I got really annoying and there were several times i just wanna pull all the wires out or cut them into pieces to stop the darn alarm.

I would have thrown it out the window after the first hour if it didn't stop beeping lol that's terrible.

Ahhh...what a great idea! I forgot to just put it outside if the beeping would stop. Darn why didn't i think of that. But it may not have stopped the beeping since it's a built-in alarm. Its body may be thrown elsewhere but there is still the brain. To pull all the wires out...hmmm...i so wanted to but i stopped.

Lol...that is funny.
Congrats to you and your gf for your almost engagement. All the best for you for taking the next step of your life.

Thanks :) Will be a bit until we exchange the rings and make announce it to our friends and family (even though some family and friends already know), since we went with some customization in the setting and it's estimated 4-6 weeks before it's done. Tentatively, kanojo says she wants to do it on our anniversary, so a couple of months.

And the smoke alarm stuff is funny after the fact, but when it's screaming at me in the morning I want to break it then and there lol...

The smoke alarm placement in this place drives me absolutely crazy. I don't shower with the damn door closed and one of the smoke alarms is not far from outside the bathroom. Don't know how many times I've set it off just from the shower steam...

Lol...that is funny.

I know they would be very good teachers. They are too good for my poor litte heart and head to handle. You are just the perfect teacher.

So are you saying I'm a crappy teacher that your poor little heart and head can handle just fine ?? Wtf man =_=
XDD

Dude you are perfect to be my teacher. Just like the weather you are warm, not too hot or too cold that will burn or freeze my poor little brain and heart. With your perfect knowledge i will graduate within less than a month. I will go from level 0.05 to level 10.

mvl
Wtf was that xD
I'm fucking dying xD

You asked for what i thought. That was my answer. I am stil learning from level 0.05 hahaha. Please teach me from now on my teacher.

Lol. Better ask dofu, elthundercat, or Lin about becoming your teacher xD
They're the best teachers here xDD

What?? Hahahaha XD

Good afternoon Llama.
I had no clue what i was thinking. I guess i could just google the term. That is if it even gets explained. Or if i have to watch porn to get the definition.

Hey KitKat...did u just wake up? Hehehe...

No. I was up since 6am. And was lurking in the thread for quite a while til I saw Lin's post about sex toys xD

Oh...u should say something. Silence is not healthy in this thread. I misunderstood her sex post. I am too naive until i read your reply. I was thinking she meant something else.

Ohh. What is that something else ?? Shaaaaare~~

Hahaha with my lack of knowledge i thought dildo means sex with old men i have never bother with xxx terms.

Interesting. What kind of ethnic group is that do you know?

It's Sangihe if I'm not mistaken ><

Interesting. There are really similar cultures and beliefs.

That is really interesting. o_o I find beliefs like that really intriguing. There's a kind of mystical beauty about them, that makes me curious. ^_^ One of my friends allegedly "named himself." He said his parents didn't give him any name at first, since they believed if a child doesn't get a name from their parents, their first word will be what they would like to be called. Turned out he kept on saying the syllable "ka" as his first word, so his parents gave him a name, which sounded similar: Karl. He still curses his baby self for coming up with such a boring name. x'D

It's interesting, learning how names are given in different countries and ethnics xD. My aunt once told me that she had a friend whose name was "Feces" o.o...and I had a kouhai whose name was "The seventh day".

Some names' meanings are really strange. My name literally means gate. Some others names including cloth, drum, fish, water, cloud, wind, gold, having gold, silver, etc...

This is also interesting. So what did his parents put on his birth certificate if they didn't name him when he was born?

There are a lot of different beliefs in the world. I also find them interesting too. In my culture after a man married and have a few kids, his in-laws will need to help him pick a new name. Of course his soul has to like it too.

Hmm..that is a good name...better than my name. The shaman told my parents to rename me after the first person they saw passed by the street. They saw a guy passed by first so they got part of my name from his last name. They added the first part of my name to his last name to make it feminine. Well my soul seemed to accept it.

So you were basically named after some random person they saw walking by? That's a bit strange. Is that linked to something your parents believe in? Why would they do that? o_0

Yes. It was related to our beliefs. I was named something else but seemed like my soul did not like any of those names. I got sick. The shaman can and said that the should rename me after a random they saw walking by the street.

There's a same belief here. If a child gets sick often, they'll change their name because they think that the name is too heavy for the child (?). There's also a culture here, in some areas, where they name their child after the first object they see o.o...
