The Happy Thread

[Holder of the Heel]

We just used a chess board and played chess for fun, it wasn't like some sort of tournament.

 

[Jon Farron]

I don't have the patience to play chess. >.< lol


I'm getting an iPhone tomorrow \o/

 

[Oneupsalesman]

I finally got to record another podcast with my friends today, it's nice to be back at it.

 

[Jon Farron]

Got an iPhone! :D But it's already half full WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE SO MUCH MUSIC ;-;

Chess is fun. I prefer Go since Chess just kinda becomes the same patterns over and over again, but I can enjoy a nice casual game every now and then. I had a particularly awesome game a month or two ago.

Mongolian stir fry is the best.

Been practicing C. Falcon a lot in Melee, such a fun character.

Now I need to get around to finding people to actually play with/possibly provide me with transportation to tournaments.

 

[Sizzle]

Made it out of round 1 pools at Kings of Cali. There are so many good players these days, but all my practicing is paying off

I have finally changed my avatar from the Umbreon wearing a santa hat one, and this makes me happy.

I've ordered 12 volumes of "Hikaru no Go" that's about that (with the artist from Death Note) and I'm really excited to get to reading it! If I like it I'll probably go looking for a Go board. XD

Also, Pandora's Tower arrived today, beat the first short tower, and basically gave up allllll my **** to Elena to make her like me, even the stuff that heals me and upgrades my stuff. I'm going to go through hell playing this game for the sake of this character, I can't wait.

Oh, and the news about Earthbound being on the Virtual Console (never played it), a new Yoshi's Island game on the 3DS, more footage of the Mario RPG, new Mario Party game for the 3DS (not sure if I'll get that), more Pikmin 3 footage and a release month, and footage of the next 3DS Zelda makes me happy as well. Bravely Default also interests me.

I'm one of those chess players that take an eternity to move a piece, and that doesn't even guarantee I won't make a mistake still. I'm not good but I enjoy the game still somehow. And I once played a guy who was like a "master" or something when he was young, and on the first turn he spent basically a half hour staring at the board before he even moved the first piece. That was the only case of him spending any time on his turn for the rest of the game (of course it helped that I was slow as ****).

Lol I take an eternity to move as well. Do you play online? I find right after I make a move I immediately see why it was a bad move and the move I should have made instead. It frustrates the hell out of me. I used to be really good (1400 points), but I loss my passion for the game, but still did it as a hobby and my game dropped because of that. I'm starting to really enjoy it again though.

And I'm surprised to see how

Don't they use timers in chess? Isn't your turn limited because of that?

There are various time limits, 1 minute and 1 hour being the standard opposites of the spectrum. There is also sometimes bonus time.....which is where you get more seconds added to your timer after each move you make, theoretically those kind of games could continue indefinitely despite the timer.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I bought "Star Trek: The Original Series: Remastered"!

I'm going to watch it and see the changes they made

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I love my boyfriend and roommates and friends
Despite being a total mess yesterday, I got cheered up by hanging with the roomies and getting reassured by bf over Skype an texts cuz he isn't able to visit atm

Life is alright

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I know have an avatar that represents the character "Psychoincarnate" which I think turned out pretty well

Created it myself

It uses the style of Mega Man

I still see some problems, but nothing that isn't easily fixed

Been doing corrections throughout the day when I wasn't at work/ school

 

[Falconv1.0]

I have to admit that actually looks pretty nice.

 

[Froggy]

Yesterday I said no to a callgirl for the very first time. I'm so proud of myself ^_^

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

I am happy because my classwork involves me doing full illustrations and zbrush sculptures at the moment. Aside from programming and my workload (i accidentally 6 classes*), I have a LOT of illustration work and im improving quickly at sculpting <333 Character modelinggg eeeee

*Ok, so i talk with people at they just go "oh 6 classes thats NOT badddddddd"
Well, my classes only go once a week. 4 hour classes (besides psych; 2 two hour classes). I'm on the roster for 5 classes, and am consulting on a senior level class since they need more concept artists (I CAN be fired from that class if i dont produce quality work, but the teacher is in industry and remembers students who show initiative)
Most of my classes are project based as well, so no tests. LARGE homework assignments a week. So once a week classes are for good reason

20 hours of school a week at the moment. Yikes. Too muchhhh = 3= But im happy with my classes so yay less complaints go happy thread yeeeee

 

[Mari]

First time posting here cuz I felt like it :D

Got a new watch, new clothes, and a new game.

YEESH! XD

 

[Smooth Criminal]

The flipside of what I posted in the Unhappy Thread...? I'm finally moving towards change. I'm dieting, I'm exercising, and I'm actually feeling pretty damn good about it. I don't feel like I'm stagnating anymore.

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Saw boyfriend today for the first time in a few weeks : )
And got some yugioh cards I needed from the regional

Wooooo good day

 

[Jon Farron]

Last week of school WOO

 

[Froggy]

And I'm back on unemployment benefits. I'm so happy

 

[GMaster171]

Got told today I can do my 4000 word essay on the psychology of competitive gaming.

Woot, love that kind of topic :D

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Realized that I am actually making good progress on my midterm which I thought was due this week (we have 11 week quarters, so weeks 5/6 are midterm weeks...its confusing).....its due week 6 <33333 Got a good bit done, and will keep working on it tomorrow! Plus, going home this weekend to work as a caricature artist at my little sister's prom. While I'm home, I get to spend time with the bf and some of our good friends.

And, just had a great talk with a good friend of mine! We had a falling out a few years ago, but our trio of friends joined back up last year. It's really nice to talk with him like old times. Him, my boyfriend, and I are making a bunch of summer concert plans now and are excitedly planning fun adventures while syncing up school schedules and summer break schedules.
It's really nice to bury the hatchet and regain friendships. It isnt completely one of those "its like nothing ever happened" moments - we've all grown a bit and changed. We've DEFINITELY matured and forgiven past transgressions (bad fights on both sides, yo). But, at the core, we kind of picked up where we left off and have reformed what is an awesome friendship <3 the trio is back together <3333

I am happy that I found out that there are yugioh tournys in a card shop 6 minutes away from where I live last month, and I've been having fun going to the tournys. It's probably the most friendly community I've ever been in. Kinda weird how different it is than the Houston brawl community was though. The Yugioh community here seems very new player-friendly, and everyone tries to help each other out for the most part, yet there is no online site that people in the local community here go to and talk at. A lot of the people that go to those don't even own a computer, or play video games, etc. It's kinda feels like I've stepped back in time almost, but it's kinda cool too.

I think this is what it must feel like to be a part of "IRL".

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I don't think there IS a IRL anymore...

Everyone is all on their future phones with all the fancy bells and whistles. texting all day, talking online more than they do when they see eachother

Talking through bluetooth, looking like they are crazy people. Pretending they are having an important conversation

 

[Froggy]

LOUFFY WON STUNFEST!! Yeah, I'm so happy. I swear if I have a job by then(Scary thought if I don't). I'll pay for half of Louffy's ticket for him to come to Evo. If he wins the NSL I may very well pay for all his ticket. He needs to compete in America again.

 

[ndayday]

This is really cool. Good job

 

[Froggy]

Something I thought wasn't going to be uploaded is being uploaded(I won't say what for fear that someone may try to have it removed). I'm really happy about that ^_^

 

[Shorts]

My break up is leading to me seeing more friends, and trying to better myself.

 

[Vixen]

I have a violin again. Rent to own.

It's been 5 years since I played. Feel pretty motivated, though.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

decided to take a bath to help my back

oh my gosh bath time is best time <3 so relaxing u w u
blasted emery and relaxed for like...30 minutes

note to self: we need to buy bubble bath

 

[Vixen]

Just repaired my Hisoundaudio Golden Crystals. Gonna do repair work to some other 'phones sitting around.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Emery concert friday <3333 FINALLY

 

[FalKoopa]

I scored quite well in my test today. A bit less than what I expected, but still ahead of most of my friends.

 

[Lore]

Awesome, FalKoopa!

Speaking of grades, mine just got posted online. I got all A's and B's! ^_^

 

[Falconv1.0]

Had a good day for the first time in...months? Literally laughed so hard that I could barely breath at one point.

Also good God it's 5:21 am someone halp.

 

[Vixen]

Got audio technica t300 for $20, went on an adventure, and then went to dinner and a movie.

The icing on the cake? I woke up in time for work without a hitch

I'm definitely gonna get a 3.0 GPA this semester, a much welcome improvement from last semester.

This summer, I have complete control of my work schedule, and I'll be swimming in a Master's league this summer. I'm gonna be in such great shape for my next swim season. It's just going to be a really productive summer.

 

[Chronodiver Lokii]

Tomorrow will be the 3 year anniversary for my boyfriend and me <3 We dont get to see each other (I'm away in Pittsburgh for school :C), but I will see him this weekend and we will be able to celebrate! I think we are grabbing sushi with a friend, going to the metroparks to walk around/splash around in the creeks and rivers like crazies/climb dangerous rocks and cliffs, and play league/ygo.

The best weekend

And now the Rangers won their series against the caps (bittersweet, but rangers are my favorite)
Really exciting playoffs!!! 4 teams were part of the original 6, while the Kings and Pens were part of the 67 expansion, and Ottawa is a Canadian team (Canadian teams are fun to watch. Those crowds!)

I sincerely don't care about San Jose, unless they play a team I dislike though >___> Bias against warm weather teams (jk. San Jose is pretty cool. Sharkiessss)

Go Rangers/Hawks!

Ahhh I love playoff season
Best time of the year: hockey and baseball can be seen on the same days!!!!
