Oh cool, as in genuine sleight of hand then?

Yeah. I'm only good enough to do it to camera though, even though I've been practicing for hours. All good magic is closeup magic though ;)
Do you know anything?

That's cool, lemme see it when it's done please!

And nope, would be cool though.

> Hit discard, typed this already, can't be fucked to type it out in full:

Taking forever, probs because I downloaded all the programs available, dunno why they didn't just come free with the OS.

Smooth operator right there.

And that sucks a bit, hopefully won't be too time consuming.

It's at about80% right now, it looks...

Not too bad then, will be done soon enough. Got much planned for tomorrow?

"Today*"
Bitch it ain't tomorrow 'till I've gone to sleep and woken up again.

Oh and, no.
You?

It's finished! I bet it'll still be a while before I can use it...

Yeah, exactly. Alhthough sleep looms.

Me neither, bank holidays suck so I can't be bothered to organise anything.

And yeah, set up stuff can take a while, hopefully not though.

Okay, I have it all done, all I need to do now, is figure out how to turn it in to a gif -.-
I'll go look on the internet.

And yeah, there won't be anything to do tomorrow, I guess I'll just sleep XD

Good luck, let me see it when it's done!

That sounds like a plan, beginning now. Goodnight!

Night, I've resorted to screencapping the frames out of movie maker. Nevermind, I'm bored enough. See you later.

Have fun, adios!

Rapeface?

That never happens to me... I just talk shit with the people I hang with at school.

Yeah, I sometimes walk half the way back to my friend's houses before turning back to go and get picked up by my mum, if she comes later than school ends.

I do not know this feel.
Mother's on welfare, dad lives out in the mountains.
And I live ten minutes away from a bus stop that has a decent amount of busses going through it. Oh well.

Your dad lives in the mountains? That's pretty cool, unless there's something I'm missing, which I'm sure there is.

Meh, mother and dad is separated. I have no idea if they are formally divorced or not.
He breeds dogs that can kill people. Kuvasz, I think it's the oldest known breed.

Sounds hardcore.
Sorry about your parents.

Dat face.
They're also pretty damn clever.
And it's alright, really. It's always been fucked up. I have to half sisters that are older than me and my oldest sister is my only "full-blood" sister. I don't even wanna know.

That's pretty damned curly!

And what is it that the lamp is stood on in the second picture?

It's my bedside table. It's shaped like an old fashioned drinks dispenser. Fuck yeah.

Yeah I thought so. It looks cool!

I want to get the pictures and stuff replaced, with Nuka Cola versions.

That would also be completely awesome. Could go for a Nuka Cola right about now.

I should really play Fallout 3 again, but I platinumed it so can't be bothered.

Yeah, I only got so far in it... I've been meaning to pick it back up. I loved NV though, not sure why.

I finished NV, didn't enjoy it as much. I got it as soon as it came out, and the bugs ruined it a bit for me. Should replay it though. Too many other games to play first though.

Hm, was F3 your favourite game ever?
Mine was probably Skyrim or NV.

Wouldn't say it was my favourite game ever, but it's certainly one of them. Probably top 5 on this gen of consoles. Final Fantasy 7 would probably be mine. Skyrim was great, never finished it though.

I may have, had almost a week of playtime. 0 AFK time.
My head of year sent a letter of concern to my parents...

That is commitment. I bunked 3 weeks (consecutively) of school in year 10 for a number of reasons, one of which was to play FF7. No letter home though.

Also, I forgot Red Dead Redemption. I loved RDR, it made working last summer bearable, despite the depressing ending.

I got like, 15% of the way in and gave up, it was so long, I was never sure if I was doing a side quest or something actually necessary O_O
I did like it though, I wish I'd had the determination to finish it, it was rented from Lovefilm so I gave it back...

And ouch, that must've been tough. I know because I've done that before, though due to illness. I missed a whole 4/5 weeks once.

Yeah it was long, but I had loads of free time because of being unemployed, then working nights. I knew how it ended before I got it, which kind of spoiled the ending a bit. Least it saved me from manly tears.
And it's probably cheap now, I got it for about £15 a year ago.

Yeah, it wasn't really tough for me considering I only had a cold and just hated school, but I guess it was for you as you were actually ill.

No I mean like, tough on the return. Catching up on work is difficult. I know that better than anyone.

And... Well... I've stretched out illness a little, stayed home when I could have gone in, just because I know how depressing it is being in in my condition, of both academic loss and still feeling bad. Which of course only makes it worse, but you know how people are.

Oh right. I got round that by not catching up. I never really had any motivation at GCSE level, so I took loads of time off school and never caught up. I probably underachieved, but I still did pretty well, better than I probably deserved.

But seeing as you have to catch up to allow you to be up to date etc so you can achieve what you want, I'm guessing it's pretty tough.

And I agree entirely with the stretching out illness. It sucks that you have that, because you don't have a choice in missing school when you're genuinely ill.

Like I said, some of the time I spent off was just because "fuck this, I don't want to go and uhhh... I'm still ill yeah that's it."

And sorry for late reply, I'm trying to make a gif of myself... I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing XD

That's cool, I know that feeling. By sixth form I was just taking time off because I couldn't face going to school. I'm lucky my mum was lenient in that regard, although she quickly wised up to the fact I tried to get every day off school...

And no worries, I reply quickly because I am doing absolutely nothing. How's the gif going?

I have the footage, now I need to pick out the take I want and put it into the right file, no actual editing... It shouldn't be this hard >.<
I just need some software, I don't think Windows 7 comes with video editing at all...

I don't believe it does, not that I've ever checked. What's the gif gonna be?

A magic trick, changing a card instantly. From the Ace of Spades to the 3 of Diamonds I believe, maybe the other way around. It's instant, doesn't go behind anything, no video cuts either, hence why I could do multiple takes in one shoot.

Dat rant. I'm not sure how to respond to this so I'll just say that I was volunteered to be Jesus because of my hair once.

Wow, that's impressive haha.

And yeah, sorry, it's just so frustrating, especially since some of them are genuinely good actors, one of them is absolutely amazing, better than me and all my years of work. But he's actually the worst at... What that rant was about. I won't type it out again.

Yeah, I'm doing some backstage work for my school this term, starting when the holiday ends in a few weeks. We did Passion of the Christ last year, I wasn't involved...

And my hair hasn't gotten any shorter. Less curly though.

I take it you care a lot about acting then?

Yeah, if I could choose completely freely, I'd be a director or actor. Or both, though that's unrealistic even under these fantasy circumstances.
I'd love to be able to write, direct, star and edit my own short videos. So maybe a YouTube director, or have that as just a hobby.
But no, I'm going in to the army -.-
I might still do some stuff, become a small time YouTuber, who knows ;)

What about you, dream job?

Ah the army... Fuck that.
Small time youtubers do make some money!

Um... I really have absolutely no idea. There really isn't anything I enjoy doing. Maybe writing, since I seem to be decent at that when I'm not forced to base the story off some dumbass word like... well, "word". Which is why I don't get great grades in Norwegian.
And it's mostly when I'm inspired to write. I can write for a bit, and then get inspired but that pretty much means that the story starts out shit.

I tried my hand at writing completely freely once. It went well, but didn't last long. And yeah I hate when they give you some dumbass topic like that...

Still got a 4.
I actually wrote a homo-erotic tentacle story once. Don't ask.
And I suck at writing dialouges.

Did you hand that one in to school?

>Teachers face when.

So that's a yes?

No it isn't.

Dayum shame.

I'd love to do something like that. Especially since my English teacher is really homophobic. She kicked her 15yo son out of the house for a day when he came out, and only let him back in once he told her he was lying to get attention. I want to remove small parts of her brain and put them back in backwards.

She'd probably... oh what's that term my English teacher says every five minutes... oh right. She'd probably have my guts for garters if I did that.

Oh, you'd love my step-grandfather and uncle. They think homosexuality is caused by little demons in your mind.
And as a semi-related topic: My sister and a friend of hers was trying to make me gay throughout my childhood.

I decided one day to convince me entire year 6 class I was gay. Did it in one sentence. I was pretty proud XD
I didn't even know at the time.

Basically, we were having the gay talk, for some fucking reason the school decided to give it to all the higher years. I just asked this one awkward question, while looking really uncomfortable. Everyone was staring at me for the rest of the day.
I did it, just to prove I could. I think that really says something about me, though I haven't quite figured out what...

Meh, we never did that. Or we did it while I was having my "little" nervous-angst/depressive breakdown.

Also, this is my face when I have no idea whether I am attracted to either women or men. It mostly varies. I have no idea what my mind is doing.

Omnisexual maybe? I think that's what I am, the lines blend a bit, I find women a little more sexually attractive, but that works equally if it's a femme male. Which isn't really how it works. I distinguish by personality and looks, regardless of gender. It's just woman are usually more suited to my sexual desires, and men to my romantic ones...
That's what omnisexual is, to an extent.

So, I'm guessing that's another word for pansexual?
And thanks for reminding me... How the hell did I forget that?

Yeah sorta. I think there's a slight difference. I might look it up later.

Thanks for reminding me of a few weeks worth of pondering I did a while back. Basically reached the conclusion that personality matters more for actual relationships than appearances. And in my book appearance is basically the separating factor between male and female.
I get bored on bus-rides. Or, I used to. Now I talk with people.

Hah, I was on a pretty long bus ride, and I got talking to this old guy sitting in the row across from me, we were at the front. I had a deck of cards on me, and he used to be a magician, it was the coolest thing ever XD

I have never seen that show, nor do I ever intend to. It's times like this I'm glad I don't have a television aerial.

Seconded. I mean I do have TV, I just don't use it. When I live on my own I won't bother paying for it... I'll just have internet :\

Yeah that's what I do, although you still have to buy a TV licence which sucks. At least I'll be able to split the cost next year, it's like £160 or something stupid.

You get taxed for TV right? That's how the BBC makes money without showing any ads.

I dunno, as far as I'm aware you just buy an annual TV licence, but it serves the same purpose.

So what do you normally do to entertain yourself? Besides poni.
Do you have a job alongside uni?

Erm, go out if the opportunity presents itself. If not, watch DVDs, play PS3 if I feel like it, chat to people on facebook/msn. Now it's sunny I've been going out more and just chilling with people on the grass and drinking. Whatever passes the time really.

How about you?

And nope, will hopefully get by just working summer holidays if I can. I've still got some money saved, and I have really cheap accomodation next year so I should be alright.

Guessing you don't have a job because of the age restrictions?

Yeah, I don't go out a lot, because of physical afflictions and social ineptitude. I mostly go on the thread, as of December, it's taken up a surprising amount of my time.

I do odd things for my mother... She's computer illiterate, despite hours of work put in to learning, it just isn't natural to her. I mostly edit advertisements in to position, she offers to pay me, so I take it XD
So that's a no, but with an interesting twist.
I'm sure I could do something if I wanted, during holidays.

Yeah, I'm pretty socially inept myself, although I think I've got better being at uni. Although if I'm in social situations I normally get drunk if I can, otherwise I'll be almost silent. And I agree with the thing about the thread to, I normally leave it on quite a lot now.

And that's not a bad way to make money, especially seeing as it sounds simple enough. Getting a job is overrated, although I had a crap job so what do I know?

I have a 1% share of a business, if that counts. It's my mother's, she gave me and my father 1% each, and my sister like 44 since they're in partnership.

That's pretty cool. What does the business do?

www.catherineamesbury.co.uk/

Ooooh fancy. Although I don't think they'd suit me.

Ehh, I wanted to work behind the counter in the shop for a while, but she said she wanted female staff. So I came out, bitch still said no XD
You'd think everyone would love a gay guy behind the counter selling them jewelry, though I'm not exactly the prime example of campness.

That sucks a bit lol, but I guess female staff are more welcoming in a jewellers. And yeah, you don't look feminine or camp lol.

I did when I had long hair... Traumatic memories ;_;

You still didn't look that camp, if your picture was accurate. I had ridiculously long hair at one point, until my school made me get it cut. I miss it...

Same, but I don't miss it. Now I can look back with proper perspective, it was terrible. I was actually mistakes for a girl on multiple occasions, though at that age the differences in body are less obvious.

Oh fair enough, and I guess that would suck. I've had long hair mainly for like 4 or 5 years. Think the longest I went without a haircut was 6 or more months, so it was pretty long, but my hair is really curly so I probably looked like a douche.

Your hair now suits you anyway. And thumb limit...

Yeah, here's the pic again, you can see how curly my hair is.
And I edited the mole out, because it looked unnaturally prominent in that pic for some reason... That's my excuse anyway. It was literally 4 pixels.

Your exquisite class.
actually your timezone

I'm alright, my room smells of dust. I think I should vacuum tomorrow.

Of course, I'm an idiot >.<

Bitch you know nothing about the realms of dust. This is after one day, and the camera isn't amazing so you can only see the big bits...
I don't know what it is about my room, but it just gets so dusty.

I'm guessing you live near a major road or somesuch then.

Oh, and Norway here.

Nope, nothing. The rest of the house is fine, it's just my bedroom :\
The window faces away from the road, and it's only moderately busy.

And cool, there are so many diverse people on the thread, it's interesting, I just always assume everyone's American :\

I read a book translated from Norwegian once, it was set in Oslo. And that is the best connection I have *pokerface*

Eh, oh well.

There's actually surprisingly many Norwegians on FJ.

That and the Vikings raping your country every now and then, heh.

satwcomic.com/trans-fear
Yes. Though we all know how well the whole "invade England" thing went for the Scots *cough* Bubonic Plague *cough*

I love that comic.
Meh, jus' a wee lil' cough.

Sorry for late reply, I didn't notice D:

And look, I have coffee, in the worlds most amazing mug. Only cool kids have mugs shaped like hippy vans. Oh yeah.

Heh. it's still alright. Happens a lot.

Isn't it a little bit late?
And your cup is so tiny... Is a leetle baby cup!

It's kinda small, but that's mostly perspective, it actually holds more than a regular glass or mug.

And nah, I won't sleep in the first place, and caffeine makes little difference.
MFW month ago, on first caffeine in ages.
Not so much now.

I have a cup that holds about the same as three cups. I use it for tea, mostly.

Haven't gone more than a week between my caffeine for... three maybe five years now.

I went months, no energy drinks, very little soda. So when I got in to coffee I took it pretty badly at first. Which is surprising considering my tolerance to alcohol, though I suppose they'd be uncorrelative.

And damn, that's pretty impressive.

That sounds healthy. fuckthatshit
And I'd love to be less tolerant of alcohol. Would be cheaper to get drunk.

I take it you mean my cup?

The excess of caffeine and the cup now I think of it.

I also fucking love macchiatos.
And I am fairly sure I'm not addicted to caffeine, either! Which is surprising since all my grandfathers on my fathers side have had an easy time picking up addictions. Yay me.

I have incredibly addictive genetics :\
My mother was on hardcore drugs for a decade, and my father on so much alcohol he managed to lose several millions pounds of wealth.
Ah well, at least I'm kinda addicted to education. I like to know shit.

Well shit, looks like we have that in common. 'Cept my dad also did drugs.
Now he's addicted to dogs.
I do pretty well in school, despite barely giving half a fuck in most of the subjects.
If I bothered to study I could probably ace science stuff.
And yes, I've tried making myself bother but I couldn't. And neither could anyone else.

Thumb limits, MFW.

Yeah, I'm at an A/A* in all the subjects I like, in the subjects I don't like, I'm at a C. No Bs at all.
There is one subject I like which is a C+, Drama, but that's because of absences not lack of effort.

I know, right?

1-6 where 6 is best. I tend to get a shitload of 5's and 3's.
Had a 6 in religion and ethics for a while, but then I went from... I'm not even going to start trying to explain our school system.
Heh, I got a shitty grade in Drama/music even though I was one of the few who actually did something. I just failed at notes. And the teacher wasn't objective.

Yeah, when I'm present, I always do all the work in Drama, but then I end up outnumbered by the guys who just eventually get bored and go "right, you're a gangster and I'm over here taking drugs, this is going to make us look so cool the teacher will love it." And because most of the group agrees, my hand is forced.
Dicks. I genuinely came close to assaulting someone for pulling shit like that. It always looks terrible and we don't get any time to rehearse.
I know it sounds egocentric and vain, but I come up with the best ideas, they should shut the fuck up and let me direct; giving input where they actually have it, not where they want it. I've done this shit professionally.

Easterrific.

This is now a word.

Indeed. How was your easter?

Pretty good, the high point was just seeing my cousins, one of them brought his boyfriend :P

And yours?

Oh fair enough, was that awkward? Or did everyone already know he was gay?

Mine was alright, mood changes all day kinda ruined it but whatevs, it's over now. The boredom of church was made worthwhile by the reward of a massive beef roast.

No, he's been here before, everyone acted exactly the same as when anyone else had brought a boy/girlfriend to Christmas/Easter; which was nice since my Grandmother is very religious and his (my cousin's) mother is a complete bitch agreed by everyone.

Sounds great, we had a roast too, only it was ham. So overall a good day?

Oh cool, that's good then.

And that sounds pretty good too. Never had a ham roast oddly. And it was alright, kinda boring, although most days are boring. Could've done without some of the aggro I guess.

Most important measure of easter is chocolate though...

Haha, yeah. I got a fair bit of chocolate, gave it to my mum and cousins though, trying to lose weight. Then I come home and find my parents got me a standalone, massive fucking egg, in the shape of a chick jumping out of its shell. I've eaten half of it already. FML
What about you?

Sounds like a success to me! Easter and christmas are generally terrible chocolate overdose times.

I got an easter egg and a bag of small chocolate eggs. But I am sort of an adult, so I will take any free chocolate with open mouth.

I like that, "sort of an adult" not quite ready to admit it yet eh? ;)
I think the clever people don't push themselves in to adulthood, because they realise how fucking amazing it is to be a child.

And, hm, I'm going to try and work some of this off, lift some weights 'n' such... See how many pressups I can do without stopping now my arms have toughened up, I reckon about 30, not much.

I don't really act any differently now than I did when I was 16/17, except for drinking a lot. So I guess it makes me a typical Londoner these days...

Sounds like a plan, leave the chocolate on the floor and take a bite everytime.

I imagine that's how I'll be, fucking around like a 6yo, drinking away my bursary and cramming medical textbooks XD
Uni sounds better than secondary school, I prefer to learn stuff at my own pace, regardless of whether that be faster or slower than in a classroom.

And yeah, I'm so going to do that now, because why not?

My cousin is training to be an RAF officer, and he had a 3 day initiative exercise, where he had to get as many points from completing challenges as possible in a group of 2, without spending any of your own money. They had to blag their way 300 miles and back simply on the basis they had military ID. One of the challenges was to get a free spray-tan, so they just walked in to the shop and explained it all and they did it for free, it was apparently very easy, I might try it once I have one of those, just brag my way in to places, they stayed overnight in a 3* hotel and everything. It just reminded me. Crazy.

Yeah, it's a good way to blow a lot of money really quickly. Easily £20-30 a night if you're an idiot like me. Picked up the terrible habit of just drinking alone now too, which is just terribly depressing and a habit I should really get out of.

But the learning at own pace is good, especially if you have the work ethic to do so. You have plenty of time to actually do that at uni, if you are so inclined. I most certainly am not.

Chocolate is clearly the best motivation for exercise.

And that sounds awesome! What was the actual lesson of the exercise though? I'm guessing charisma, initiative and blagging skill sort of stuff.

Yeah, it's the sort of thing everyone gets in to for a time, though some don't make it out...

And yeah, I spoke to my cousin about how it all works today. I spend as much time a day as she does a week actually on site, it's all just set readings, which I guess has its pros and cons, is that how yours works?
It's funny how I was completely oblivious to this until now, I didn't even assume it worked the same or anything, I just hadn't thought about it at all.

Something like that, like if you were trapped somewhere without money and needed to talk your way in to food and bed, or... Spray tans O_o

Yeah, tell me about it...

I don't really do any of the readings I'm meant to do. I only have one book. I'm a terrible student really... although I have major blagging skills. I'll try to improve next academic year though. I go to most of my lectures, seminars and tutorials though, unless I can't be bothered.

But different unis and different courses require different amounts of independent work and varying amounts of lectures etc.

I've heard it can be tricky to get spray tans when you're trapped, could be useful.

Yeah, I imagine Medicine and other more science-based subjects take more active time than Anthropology, which is what she's doing.

Yup, you have to be able to escape Afghanistan in STYLE

Yeah, I know a few medics at uni and they spend a lot of time in their books. They enjoy it though, so it's fine.

Forget the sun, must find fake tan fast.

Don't put on too much.

Oh god what the hell happened there? There's so much wrong with that picture. Who would do that and think it looks good?

Jersey Shore people...

I have done nothing at all!

Tomorrow is going to be filled with family. Oh well.

Same, only today. And now my tomorrow will be filled with nothing.
See how it works out?

Well, I know that no one is going to jokingly offer me aqua-white this time since I took the glass last time and downed it. Probably gonna be cake, though. I like cake. Cake is nice.

I had lemon drizzle cake today. My grandma makes some fucking world class lemon cake.

It must be pretty damn good since you've got that wingboner going.

Yup, mfw (only with cake)...
I'm going to regret this come December and my physical exam.

Andheylook, someone thumbed all the comments down, weirdo :\

MFW I don't have that. Fuck yeah.

Oh, that makes me pretty butthurt. Like, really butt-frustrated.

I am analdestoryed, I am so hurt in the butt it hurts, in my butt.
I mean, this molested my anus to the point of pain, I so butthurt I think I may have damaged my rectum, to the point of it hurting.
MFW

MFW I think about causes for such butthurtness.

Mebeh.

I like it!

And sorry, for some reason my alerts are broken O_O

And the semi-original.

Eh, that happens to everyone.

Who is the artist for those last three pictures? The two look like the same drawing style.

Here's the entire thing, since I have no idea who made it.

"Big Hac"
Typing fail. Ah well, it's really good, I'mma have a look now.

hasana-chan.deviantart.com/
10 seconds flat.

No no, the line between the | |'s are bent, that's an M,

Dem TinEye skills.

I know, I see it, but the first time I read it it looked like that, which is more important than whether it's actually correct or not ;)

And yeah, Google images does that too now, it isn't hard.

Fair enough, I suppose.

Oh yeah, I forgot that. Oh well.
How are you?
And I'm guessing you're a Brit.

Eyyup, how'd you figure?

And I'm doing pretty good, how're you right now ^^

Got one easter egg. That was the entirety of my easter. I don't care.

You've done better than most.

Boring
