OOC Raves

@Hideyoshi I always have to fiddle around to remember the right way before I get youtube embedding working. To embed, get the video you want, right click the player, click "copy video url" (not "copy embed code"), paste that into these forums, and submit the post. It won't transmogrify in the preview window, but it will be embedded once you post. The url will be something like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=(letters).

That video was really nice. Congratulations!

Pay rise?

Just an acting allowance. And the satisfaction that I will never hear those words from the techie ever again.

Aitox

@Arador, what company do you work for in Kempton? And more importantly, are you being paid enough?

Tvistor

I don't know what a Hideyoshi is but CONGRATS. If we're ever raiding, I will deliberately order everyone to lose to you in celebration.

Mishgul

Hideyoshi is a boss.

Sherazad

Hideyoshi is in Samurai Warriors which is v loosely based on Japanese History.

OOC Rave: So much going on with life these days. I basically went from zero, to doing all sorts of things such as studying online, being paid for writing and dabbling with marketing. When I'm able to squeeze in Achaea in my daily schedule, I'll be content. 

Arador

I actually work in Germiston, and they take good care of me, can't complain.

Arador

Stupid phone.

Hrm ...

The above link is the same day edit video.

How do I properly embed a youtube video in this forum?

I suggest pasting it(EDIT: 'it' being the youtube URL) as plain text. The forum translates it as embeddable.

Further EDIT: Congrats!

Hideyoshi

@Blujixapug & @Synbios

Thanks!

@Tvistor LoL!

The new X-Com remake is pretty good! Didn't think it would be.

Erasariel

I just finished Fallout 3.

Best gaming experience of my entire life.

It..it was just too good.

I went to the state fair (again) with my girlfriend, who is blind. We were waiting in line when someone walked up and gave us two free tickets. The first thing I did was take her to the butterfly exhibit to look at the butterflies and hope one would get close enough that she would see it with what little vision she does have left. We walked near some staff and they recognized she was blind immediately, and ran up to ask if she wanted to touch a bunch of things. Handing her dead butterflies, wings, one even got a caterpillar out from their lab for her to hold. We went to a bird show in hopes of getting free tickets to the Chinese Lantern Festival so she could see the lights before she loses her sight completely. Sadly, that didn't work out, so we went back to the butterfly exhibit's gift shop. The lady in charge there wound up giving us free tickets to the lantern show, Today was really great, things just seemed to fall into place today. The people at the Exhibit were really great, and we never have that kind of experience when we go out.

All in all then only thing that would have made today better, would have been better walking shoes.

Jhaeli

@Mannimar That was incredibly sweet of you. I know you didn't orchestrate the free tickets, but you did take the time to take your lady places that she'd enjoy. Sounds like she must have had a great time. (Also, the right shoes are always a must!)

Rave: Just six weeks to go before my due date! Am so ready to get this baby out to see what race she is. Both parents are human, of course, but that doesn't mean she couldn't pop out as a Raja, right?

Tvistor

Ah, I'm a bit of an expert on this.

So you're about to have a baby:

1. Staying calm.

Okay, the first thing to do is remain calm and react to the situation as a perfectly sane person would. I see you've already made the first mistake of telling people you are pregnant -- this is pregnancy RP and people are going to react extremely badly to this. The generally accepted custom is to simply wait eighteen years then claim the child as your own, pretending up until that point that you have not given birth to him or her.

It's complicated.

2. The actual birth.
Most people generally skip over this, but if you are really determined, ensure your surgeon isn't going to emote something ridiculous halfway through the process. Or say anything dumb, really.

3. You have a baby!

Promptly dispose of it. This is the important part. You will meet him again in approximately eighteen years, whereupon you must convince him that you are worthy of being his mother. Most people use RP, though frankly in places like Hashan and Cyrene you can get away with snuggling. The benefit to this is that you don't need to pay for education. The downside of this is you don't need to pay for education. (cough Xykon cough)

Assuming you have successfully convinced the child that you are indeed his mother, and accept that he was mindwiped in a fire that is in a tree, congratulations! You're now the proud mother of a healthy <insert race here>!

If your child's race displeases you or surprised you, please direct your attention to my other eBook, 'So He Doesn't Have His Father's Hooves.' or if required 'I Think Lord Shaitan Has Possessed My Baby To Serve As The General Of His Dread Armies.'

Crathen

Dread armies? You must know a different Shaitan...

*an army would have like more than one soldier around at any given time

Jiraishin

Why do you think he's recruiting babies?

Rajan

Dinner?

Mishgul

No we recruit babies for breakfast

Jiraishin

I have the perfect song for missing and/or incompetent minions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vdfx7r1Fx0
It isn't new but it amuses me more every time I listen to it.

Also I just got another album by Covenant and it's awesome. I can't have my comfort food but I -will- have my comfort music, dark sci-fi lyrics and all.

Chryenth

Jiraishin. What have you done.

I can't stop listening to this, and I needs sleeeeeepppp.

Cinya

@Tvistor, I think that was my favorite post I've ever seen on forums ever.

Anaidiana

Rave: having pretty consistent sub work (I'm in the same boat as Melodie, as it were), while scheduling doc appointments.

Rave: Job #3 leading me to meet a totally random Sister in another state who was awesome and totally glomped me when she saw my letters. (we didn't make much money at that show, unfortunately, but...yay! Sista!)

ninja-edit Rave: BAND MOMS AND THEIR FOOD ROCK.  

Rave: Hubby being awesome. and patient. 

Rave: Eating totally nomtacular food while my stomach likes me. I do love me some food and I'm very sad when my stomach doesn't cooperate. 

Rave: halloween manicure turning out AWESOME. I win. 

Tahquil

In reverse importance.

3) I passed my exams for the 2 weeks super intensive course which cost me about $8000AUD and now am a qualified UT2 technician and it's just one short year and 120hrs of supervised in the field work to go until certification.

2) Being a healthy, relatively young female.

1) After posting a rave of Mumfords & Sons new album 'Babel' on facebook, Gildenlow offered transport to the city they are playing in, his house for a few days and company to the concert. Which is awesome because I am significantly broke from before mention course.

Being healthy should not come second.

It does when you're a student O_o ... personal experience and all ahrm.

Mishgul

It should come fifth, after chocolate, achaea, tetris and raving.

Ellodin

more like fifth after chocolate, achaea, and counting ability

Tahquil

You severely underestimate my love of Mumford and his Sons.

Mishgul

We missed out "achaea forums" on those lists too.
