    On the other hand, they're making things a lot easier on themselves in the long run.

    Programming languages are largely written in English-- or at least, using terminology based in English. Most documentation is written in English (although there's a better chance of that being translated than a complier that accepts code written in other languages), and so on. By working on their English now, they're going to be much better off when they actually get a job and are dealing with mostly English environments. I've flipped through a couple of non-English programming books (Korean and Japanese mainly; not that I understood anything), they're absolutely terrifying.

      People touching me when I don't ask them to.

        Whatever the opposite of a pet peeve is.

        "Hey, is your hair natural, Mr. Foreigner?" "Yeah" "Cool! *pat pat*"

        Only women ever do this. Only young women. Some of them have done this on multiple occasions. Feba whole-heartedly approves.



        On the other hand, I need to develop a good reply to "You are a gentleman~" which I have no idea how these people even fucking know. I keep hearing that, but I don't have a one liner to come back with.

          Well it's gets annoying when I have friends and I love them dearly, poke me. It's usually small and it snowballs. First the stomach, which I don't mind since I am ticklish. Then the shoulder and then when people start poking the chest then I snap. I start hitting people and eventually it gets to where if I see you I bite you. I will 90% of the time walk up to people who innapropriately touch me, and bite them in the arm. I've drawn blood only three times out of like the hundreds of people I've done it to.

            Poking and touching are entirely different.

            Poking is just dickish.

              I mean, it has to be bad, where I don't like you type deal. The people who poke me are friends, but if you just met me and you decide to poke me then I don't like you. 90% of the time the people who poke me when I tell them, "Stop" or "Don't touch me." don't stop so I am forced to hit them or bite them. Whichever comes first.

                You must have some great hair. My hair looks like a tornado blew through my room and missed everything but my head. I think at one point I had my hair looking like Spike from Cowboy Bebop, because it would NOT stay down.

                  Haha. I never have that problem. I don't let my hair get that bad. But I know how you feel. Bed heads are the worst.

                    I hate job-related calls on my free time, on a sunday, at 4:30AM...



                    ... while I'm trying to kill as many birds as possible on a Firesday for my second Trial weapon. <_<;

                      You mean like being woken up and called in to go to work? That sucks, if that's what it is, I feel bad.

                        Yep, something like that.

                        Sometimes there are emergencies and people need a part or equipment "Right now, please!!!!" and it seems I'm the only one dumb enough to leave his mobile on. But these are very costly emergencies we are talking about, so can't really blame them for panicking when they happen. Which is why I don't turn off my phone.


                        Still very annoying when they have this pinpoint accuracy to interrupt me while I'm playing XI on a firesday while trying to avoid a bunch of (presumably GM controlled ) raptors that are following me around.

                          GM controlled raptors? What server are ya on? Maybe we could play together sometime, I wouldn't mind. XIV doesn't look that great to me. Just the graphics, that's about it.

                            Fenrir, and those raptors followed me for most of the Firesday. Sometimes I'd lose them just to bump into them them some time later.

                            So yeah, GM foulplay is suspected!

                              Hmm. I could transfer over. I could, I could. Debating on it.

                                Fenrir is a nice server with a cool name and I play at night (usually after 8 central).


                                And now if you excuse my I have birds to slaughter for the next hour.
