Crewdroog: omg i have a story for that!

So i was driving back from Florida to NY with my friend. We couldn't go any further so stopped at this sketchy motel. So tired, didn't care. She goes to get the bags and I go to inspect the room. NY has some bed bug problems, so my first instinct was to check for that. I pull up the crap mattress and find blood splatter EVERYWHERE. not like a girl had an accident or something, no, it looked like spray pattern from someone getting bludgeoned by a baseball bat. I was immediately like, NOPE!!!" and we got the hell out of there. Ah, murder mattresses. good times.

CarrionCrow: May you never be so tired that you look at the murder mattress and say "Fuck it, I'm sleeping here anyway." =)
lol
i want a small pillow with that stitched on it so badly now!

moonshineshadow: Since I missed out some sleep last night hopefully I can fall asleep earlier tonight *good night hugs and waves*
good night! *hugs*

CarrionCrow: That's good. Better to laugh about crazy when you can. Otherwise it's just a combo of depressing and migraine-inducing.

I must not be a good person, since my thought would be to mess with that person endlessly. Tell them that rotten meat hung over their bedroom door keeps ghosts away, shit like that, just to see how far they were willing to go with it.
Exactly, laughing about these things is the best thing to do. I'll embellish the story a little and I'm sure I'll have my sister in stitches over it as well. :P

Well, I would have been seriously tempted to do that as well. It's mostly because I don't tend to be scared of things (except for spiders, those are freaky), since my father though that showing a six-year old 18+ horror movies was perfectly acceptable.

ElTerprise: Yes that's true. But the Internet certainly makes it easier for GNU/Linux etc...
Yes. That's a problem. But Black Flag is somewhat stand-alone in terms of its present time storyline and the past time story lines were always not entirely follow-ups to the previous game (aside from the Ezio Trilogy of course)
Right. It just needs more time to increase its market share. Right now it's still predominantly Windows-based, but the more traction Linux gains, the more developers will accommodate that.

Hmm. Didn't know that. Everything I've seen gave the impression that it was one huge story. (Concocted by drug addicts who forgot how to write coherently.)

Crewdroog: oh man maine coons are big cats! very pretty though.

I hear you on needing to go to sleep. i'm exhausted physically, but my brain is all, "NO! Let's stay up forever playing games!!!!!" so yeah, i feel you sister :)
Yep, this one is still pretty young, so she's not that big yet. Still, I'd last seen her as a kitten and she'd already grown a lot. I love their fluffy tails.

Definitely! My body is ready for sleep but I'm still too psyched from tonight's events, I think. :P I guess I can sleep in tomorrow.

Maybe that's my niche in life. Learning how to embroider tasteful yet profane phrases onto tiny pillows.

Screw it, that'd still beat working in retail.

The only downside is that when crazy kicks in to high gear, it tends to drag people along whether they want any part of it or not. Having fun could turn into a lunatic bugging you at all hours to make the apparitions go away. From there it's all chloroform and police and trying to explain things in court. Total pain.

i'd totally buy them.

FearfulSymmetry: You're actually making me laugh about all this, thanks for that. :P

Yep, they were all super frightened about this one closet that the building corporation locked off, and one girl was convinced someone knocked on her bedroom door in the middle of the night. My friend's sensible argument that the building was old and noisy was shot down pretty quickly.

I was just catching up on the thread and was going to say something like this.
What an awesome place to play mindgames with people in. :-)
Think I'll go give my landlord a big kiss of appreciation now. I pay, I'm left alone. Simple.

when I was adopting my cat, I almost got another kitten that was big and fluffy like they were.

yes, i am very excited to sleep in and be lazy.

You can have the first one free of charge. Course, between bad nerves and shaking arthritic hands it might take a couple years to get the actual learning to sew part down, but so long as you're willing to wait...

Plus embroidery can be pretty relaxing.

Definitely true. From what I heard the police was already visiting that building slightly too often, anyway. There was a guy with a drug problem on the lowest floor and a woman who was in a crappy relationship who needed police intervention all the time as well.

So pretty! I definitely have a weakness for the big fluffy ones, especially Norwegian Forest cats. But I love all types of cats no matter what they look like. :P

Such a good prospect, right? I love not having to set an alarm.

It'd be something to do when you're about to move. Set the mindfuck off then leave without telling anyone where you're going so you aren't directly involved when one tenant knifes another while screaming about the ghost infestation.

Yeah, it's good to have people who don't feel the need to have crazy shit happening all the time. As much as I'd like to live in an actual city with things to do, I'll admit I'm getting a bit spoiled living out in the middle of nowhere with convenient access to guns and plenty of places to bury people...
(I'm kidding again, NSA, calm down. Not going to bury anyone, the ground's too damned hard to do it. Can't be sneaky when you need a frigging backhoe.)

oh gods then yes, stay away if the police have been called there before. I rented a house once that wound up being across the street from some drug dealers (it was a nice neighborhood and a beautiful house.. should have know it was too good to be true). It was a weekly battle dealing with them, between the noise, traffic, them being idiots. gods. eventually one of the grandchildren decided to light her mattress on fire and burnt the house down. it was so nice when they moved away.

Oh wow, that's definitely not good. Yeah, I don't want to have to deal with that type of thing either. I immediately had to think back to my nice, respectable current housemates, and to be honest, living in a smaller space is not bad at all if you can avoid those problems.

I applaud your reserve, I would have been rolling on the floor, clutching my stomach in laugh cramps, saying "You actually think I'd LIVE here?"
Well done. :-)
avatar
FearfulSymmetry: I'm doing good as well. I'm starting my master's degree in a week's time so I'm making some preparations for that. :)

Yeah, given that I had a pretty major headache when I returned home tonight, I'm glad I escaped that as well. I'm sure I'll find a nice apartment eventually. :)
Glad to hear that - are you excited about it? :)

Hopefully - is it difficult is it to find an apartment currently?

And i hope it will. I really like the ideal of free and open software but having multi platform fcompatibility of software would be a first step i guess - but i assume time will tell....

Well all games from AC 1 to AC3 (including Brotherhood and Revelations) are part of the Desmond Saga, which means all of the protagonists are descendants of the protagonist of the present time story - afaik all the protagonists of the latter games ain't. But there is of course the whole Assassins vs. Templars plot which spans over all games....but imho Black Flag was really enjoyable even without the knowledge of some earlier games...
