I have my own room, which is bigger than my apartment.
Once you hit 18, all rules go out the window as long as you contribute around the house IE: chores, etc.

If I don't get out of here soon, I might find myself being talked into moving back in. :\

Ten years into the future and you're some fat guy in his thirties living in his parent's basement. D: Don't ask me why you're fat. It's a stereotype, okay? :wacko:

Sucks, though. A good enough situation to be tempting, but a bad enough one to be oh-so-bad. D:

Which Blazblue is it that like every single one of you have? :wacko:

Calamity Trigger or Continuum Shift?

I'm composing a list of games that I may or may not want more than others, should I have the chance to go shopping in the near future. Since I no longer need a PS3 controller, I can use my Gamestop points to get an extra $10 bucks off of something.

Science, how I loathe you. I want to be skinny like all these silly boys.

Bleh, pizza.

Once you remedy that, you're set. Hopefully there'll be some stat boosting items/equipment in your near future.

She was, but then she started complaining of extreme stomach pains and miscellaneous cramps. The last time I saw her she was hunched over running to the bathroom. Granted, her aunt came home immediately afterward so the call was cut short. But I can't say I'm too pleased by all this.

I think it's the hair straightening. Not that I know anything about that. Or being skinny, for that matter.

You have clearly not had good pizza. I cannot blame you, american food is SO BAD. :wacko:

It'll be fixed when I get my next soul level. I don't think I have anything too terribly amazing, mostly because I haven't really gotten into upgrading weapons and such. I'm currently wearing Executioner Miralda's armor, with the appropriate helmet/silver coronet and some silver bracers that increase the souls I get. I've got the rune shield and sword, then a wooden catalyst and kris blade +1. Hands currently adorned with the cling ring and fragrant ring. I don't really melee very often, but the rune sword seems to be effective enough when I feel like chopping something quickly to save MP.

Aw, poor thing. I can't stand having stomach bugs, so I feel particularly badly for anyone who gets one.

I've had many a delicious pizza in my day. Unfortunately, a few too many. I'm sick of pizza for a while.

I would say both, but I think Elin still only has CT.

The week before I'll go pick up my books though. If I'm feeling particularly studious I'll do the reading we're supposed to do for the first day. Probably not though, since we won't have a quiz or anything. The first day of class is always the day we have our dosage calculations exam.

Get a 90% or above on this ten question test or fail the whole program (well, you get one more chance, but that's all)! Re-apply next year, kthxbai. :wacko:

It always seems strange to me that 90% is sort of the benchmark to shoot for in the US. At universities here a 40% is a pass, a 60% is a B, and a 70% or up is an A, with A3 being 70-79, A2 being 80-89, and A1 being 90+. And almost nobody ever gets an A1. I mean I got like 92 for Japanese 2 last year, but I've been studying Japanese for about five years and it's an exam you're supposed to sit after one and a half. :P

I remember one of my American friends was absolutely gutted when her first essay came back with a 65 on it. It's like...that's actually quite good! ^_^

I'm sure if things keep going this way I'll end up fat. I have one of those overfeeding parents. Gee mom, I wonder why we all have weight problems. You don't think the fact that you prepare 3 course meals every day has something to do with it, do you? And desert too? :ugh:

Indeed. I have had people trying to talk me into getting back into this place ever since I got out. I could normally justify my not wanting to. But it's quickly becoming a nuisance to do so. Fortunately, I still have my backup: my firmly held belief that people in their 20s that still live at home are complete losers.

No offense to 90% of you. :wacko:

Most of us have Continuum Shift, which is the second game in the series. And the much improved game in the series. Pretty sure Ed is the only one limited to CT right now. And we are considering talking him into getting CS.

Come on Ed, you know you want some of this:

:wacko:

I'm curious, because I would be more inclined to get CT, since it's much cheaper. I wouldn't really plan on jumping right into playing with anyone, but I'd like the option to be available, at least. Even though I'm completely terrible at fighting games.

I guess I could play with Ivolt and make him feel better about all those times he's played with Ray. :wacko:

Well, 75% is passing for nursing courses in general. It's lower for courses outside of the program. This particular exam requires a 90% or 100% because we need to be able to do dosage calculations in our sleep, essentially. Especially because this semester is focused on kids, and kids are going to respond to slight under or over doses much differently than an adult will.

Usually it's 90+ is an A, 80-89 is a B, 70-79 is a C, 60-69 is a D. I'm on a seven point scale though, rather than a ten point scale. I hate it so, so much. :Low:

So I have money today, and I'm going to a pretty large shopping centre.

What to buy what to buy?

I'd be tempted to get BlazBlue Calamity Trigger again, even if it's just to raise it from 4% to something completely not shitty.

Don't really like the game though, prefer Street Fighter. :blush:

But hey, it's PROGRESS!

There's a silver catalyst in 3-1 that's somewhat better. To get it, go to the walkways above the boss chamber. It's on the other side from where you took out that important guy. Also, if you have stonefang (world 2) at pure black consider taking the shortcut path through 2-2. There's a BP there that drops the most awesome wand in the game. Partially because it's also a talisman. Meaning no more swapping back and forth between talismans and catalysts for miracles/magic.

Then CT is easy to recommend. We all pretty much have CT and while CS is better CT isn't horrible by any means. It also contains an extremely lengthy story mode which is, in many ways, superior to the one in CS. And that's from someone that really liked CS' story mode. It also lays a lot of the groundwork for the series as a whole (it's a fighting game with a storyline that puts RPGs to shame. Possibly because it started its out life as one).
