@Jolene; Oh yeah, I'm totally a different person online.

It's kind of distressing, really, because I've been told I often come off as attractive online. But I have some serious issues with social anxiety IRL, so that's why I'm perpetually dateless and desperate and sad. :-(

I always thought you looked similar to Lust. Then again, she was your avatar. I associate faces with names, well avatars in this case.

Well when I'm talking about attractiveness I mean more in personality than in looks. I come off as really insecure and socially weird offline and I think that turns people off.

Also, my old avatar was actually Sloth from the 2003 anime. But I mean, I do look similar to Lust - in a very general sense - in that I also have dark hair (albeit, shorter and with a pink streak), pale skin and, um, lots of curves...

I have no idea how you look IRL, and I'm not some sort of stalker who actively seeks out the appearances of internet people.

All I know is that you look like Roy now.

Well it's not like I gave you much to go on. As I said, only really general stuff. (Well, I guess the pink streak is kind of specific.)

Really, the most I look like Lust or Anime!Sloth is I could convincingly cosplay as one of them with the right dress and wig. And, of course, an Ourobouros symbol. And that's about it.

All I know is that you look like Roy now.

LOL!

So does this all mean you look like your avatar?

Seriously, though, why is it always villains - especially female villains - who have that "dark hair, pale skin" thing going on?

Like, what did we ever do to the rest of you?

I guess it is a stereotype. Maybe the original villainous woman looked like that and they ran with it.

Lol at "getting 'em laid" - I remember in (I think?) GSC when you'd go to the Day Care Man for your egg he'd say "We don't know how it got there..." and I wanted to be like, "Oh, yes you do, you dirty old man. Yes you do. Don't bullshit with me."

Here's how it went, old man: Did a little dance, made a little love, got down that night! Got down that night!

EGG UPDATE:

So, I got two eggs, actually. Both Merill. Decided to keep one, named Sakura, and immediately shoved a million poffins in her yap. Took a nice, normal ranked contest and won a ribbon. Hurray! And now I plugged in my 3DS because lolbattery.

I hate doing things that are boring but I still like like my degree, so I'm just going to research and buy a new car because I have enough money to and that's about it. I just have to decide which one but the problem is well there isn't but I do have a budget I think I do.

I just want a car that fits all my needs.

If I had money to buy a car, it would be a Seat Ibiza or Fiat 500 Abarth, perhaps maybe an Audi A1 cause I'm feeling good. Mortages up the ass? Sure. But either of those cars would be glorious.

Haha, my parents drive a Seat Ibiza. I know pretty much nothing about cars so I can't say it's a nice car or anything, but it drives nicely and has good gas mileage. -w- Never heard of the other two cars though.

Well, I finished that baseball article, and having my mom (baseball fanatic/expert and world's #1 Detroit Tigers fan) look over it, so now I can breathe a massive sigh of relief.

That was actually a lot easier than I thought, especially since my argument was basically "this statistic is needlessly complicated and relying on stuff like this leaves the fans out of it!"

Re: cars - I don't know much because I don't drive. (Well, I guess I know a little because you can't really grow up in the Motor City and know nothing about cars. I just don't really care about them.)

Exactly. The steering is pretty much the best for its class, and the gas mileage does wonders for the 20-30 crowd. Not to mention the car is one of the easily modded ones out there, and I have couple of ideas of what I can do with one.

@Jack Pschitt; Did you mention recently that you felt yourself being less interested in metal? I may have imagined that.

I did say that.

Ok dokes. I think you're going through the same musical progress as I did. I know you've always had interest in stranger music, like glitch and what not. I think you'll eventually drop metal with the exception of a couple key albums, for me I still like Black Sabbath, Ministry and Megadeth now and then.

I say, just go explore as much music as you can. If its a genre you've never heard, go investigate. I've listened to so much music, whether it be Afro Jazz, Raga Drone, Seggae, Ritual Ambient or just plain ol' Dub Techno. You'll find your musical calling. For me it's house and techno, and it took me years to get to that step.

Metal will always be my calling no exception. There are dozens of new albums every two months being released, god knows how many older albums I still need to listen to, and my favorite instrument always leads me to writing some pretty heavy stuff. I like rock and hark rock too, its just Prog Rock is not what it used to be. I absolutely love Blue Oyster Cult, Rush, Uriah Heep, but outside of Tool nothing really clicks. And I love me some tool.
I mean don't get me wrong, I listen to all sorts of music too. Hell, most of the time I'm listening to R&B, which has a pretty awesome revival going on right now. But metal if researched and developed properly is much more then rebel music and or being edgy, its the dark side of life that everyone has, and its the one way you can truly escape to it and let it consume you without actually making the wrong choices in life.

I'm really bad at top tens and things like that, but I could give it some thought and make up something in time. My favorite kind of metal is probably progressive, though. I don't listen to it all that much, really, because more often than not I don't feel epic or adventurous like how most progressive metal is in tone and I want something that sounds more down-to-earth, but when I do, progressive is the bee's knees. Dream Theater, Symphony X, Voivod (even though they teeter on the line between progressive and thrash), Fates Warning, Tool, Mastodon, the list goes on. Other than progressive, I really feel a personal connection to the slower end of the extreme metal spectrum, that being subgenres like doom and sludge and cross-over groove. The particular fan-base for that slow and bone-crushingly heavy side of metal feels kinda at home to me, not just because the southern USA is a hot-spot for it. I could probably name a dozen obscure sludge metal bands that I rotate between if I tried. It just feels close to me.

Yeah, metal is really one of the most expansive genres out there. I've spent the last year searching every corner of it for things that I like, and now I think what's happening is that I've settled down. It took me long enough to get a really good taste of every flavor that metal has to offer. :p
