    They...don't cover everything? Jesus. Here they give the loan straight to the university which covers your whole course :\
  • edited March 2008
    Well, don't you Britons pay a lot more taxes than we do?

    But not only do they not cover everything, Fordham likely will not cover anything. Rent, living expenses, tuition... I might have to foot the whole bill if I decide to go there. It's a good thing I'm getting married, my future wife can support my broke ass.

    Spoken like a true man ;)

    Also, our taxes aren't that high. Income tax is only 20% for most people, and 12.8% taken off each pay cheque for the NHS, in addition to drink and tobacco taxes, etc.

    I realized later that I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you meant that the government or school actually paid for everything over there, but I believe you actually were saying that you get all the loans you need from one source.

    And yeah, that would be nice, and it might happen, anyway. I have to apply through the FAFSA and see what happens. If I want free money, though, I can always sell my soul multiple times on Fastweb.com.

    Or sell your body. Be an intellectual gigolo.

    I successfully got home last night after 8 hours of drinking!

    But did you vomit at all and/or pass out?

    Yes...

    On your lap, I pressume?

    I had a party yesterday. It was quite the sausage fest, though. Still fun.
  • edited March 2008
    Speaking of Sausage Fest, I really wanna go to Oktoberfest at some point. German sausages and beer.

    I hear October is good time to go.

    That's actually a lie. It's meant to be in Smarch, but Smarchtoberfest couldn't fit in the title of the flier. So, they just changed the month and added a K for great justice.

    Your witty Simpson references are so relevant and apt.

    Not until I got home! As far as the Chinese know, I am a tank!

    I recently (last month) disproved everything and nothing simultaneously. You see, I have come to the conclusion that everything is relative, I call it, "Graeme's Universal Law of Relativity" because my name is Graeme.
    It can't be disproven either because if you disprove all I have to do is say, "From your viewpoint anyway," and that proves it more right. It's a huge quantum leap because you have to factor other people's viewpoints simultaneously, but not really because my viewpoint is that everything is different for all of us and nothing we register as "x" will be registered as "x" (or the same "x" anyways) by anyone or anything else. So all I have to really say in an argument now is, "I'm right." Yay...

    Edit: Oh, and I have been able to restrain myself from eating any of my quantum licorice. I call it that because it somehow achieves deliciousness and disgustingness without touching any middle ground.

    I don't believe disgustingness is an actual word but I can't achieve any grammatical sense otherwise. So whatever.

    I win at drinking awesome because:

    I've drunk half a carton of beer and I'm still going whilst the EIGHT other people here have either gone home or passed out from the same or lesser alcohol consumption

    Also I'm still at 60kg and have the metabolism of a freaking hummingbird (a large part of the reason I drink beer in the first place).

    I WIN. Except it's a lonely victory becaue, as stated, everyone has passed out or gone home....

    Need to start hanging out with my old group of friends. They know how to drink 'til 6 in the AM.
  • edited March 2008
    You're 60 kg?

    I always imagined the beard weighing in at around 30 at least.
  • edited March 2008
    The beard is like light like spider-silk. Only thicker and stronger. And angrier.

    Slightly less sticky though.... depending on what I've been eating.

    I saw "Super Bad". And it was awsome. I watched the movie while donating platelets. The movie took the same amount of time as the donation. So that worked out quite well.

    I have never heard of anyone doing two things so completely unrelated at once before. That is awesome SUCCESS my friend!

    My brother bought Rock Band recently, and I have been really enjoying it, especially the drums. I've worked my way up to the end of the Hard solo tour, and I'm finally getting the hang of Cherub Rock, when *SNAP*, the bass pedal breaks off at the hinge. It's completely irreparable.

    So I looked around on the internet, and after pooling together some ideas, I built my own bass pedal to replace the cheaply made Rock Band pedal. It's made of wood, mostly, and uses a momentary switch. It held up to a night of heavy playing, as we had a party Saturday and people played the game nonstop for 3 or 4 hours.

    Harmonix is very good at repairing broken peripherals btw. So if that (or anything else) breaks again, you can get it replaced very easily on their website.
  • edited April 2008
    Be that as it may, why wait on Harmonix for yet another cheaply made part that will just break again when you can do it yourself?
    Victory goes to the mind flayer.
  • edited April 2008
    Yeah, I put in a request for a new pedal on Thursday, and I got it today (Monday). So it was speedy, but X'o'Lore is right, I have a feeling that the new bass pedal will break again soon. I only played the game for about two weeks, by myself, on medium and the low end of hard before it snapped. Who knows what will happen if I get up to expert level.

    Ha, whenever I tried playing drums on my friend's version of Rock Band, he always had to say "You're putting your foot out too far, don't stomp so hard, oh and by the way you're doing this wrong."

    I find the drums really fun to play, but I just can't seem to get the hang of it. I play the violin, I do nothing with my feet; foot-eye coordination? Bah! I'll stick to medium difficulty level when it comes to the drums :)

    I tried playing In Bloom on drums on easy mode. Remind me never to play drums ever again.

    Heavy playing is 4hrs?

    WTF?

    Is playing a game for 18hrs straight wrong now?

    *goes back to GTA 4*
  • edited May 2008
    No, heavy didn't mean only the duration, it meant a whole bunch of intoxicated people stomping on it for four hours straight. And there is nothing wrong with playing for 18 hours straight.
