It's like 4 seconds and it's adorable.

Also, Aks' email signature looks so unprofessional. As do most. Wouldn't it be nice if people were forced to use their business cards as email signatures.

My friend would have the most unprofessional email signature ever if this were the case.

Was going through my Magic collection today and found a spare play set of Lightning Bolts. Totally going to end up making a Modern deck of some sort sooner or later now.

Walking back to my apartment from the fitness center (like maybe 1/4 of a mile, if that) and I’m happily walking along to my music at a brusque pace to keep my heart rate up and I notice a car driving slowly beside me so I stop and there’s this dude looking at me like I’m ignoring him so I pull out my earphones and he’s like “Why’d you keep walking, when I was trying to talk to you?”

So I state the obvious (motioning to my earbuds), “I couldn’t hear you.”

"Well I just wanted to tell you that you’re beautiful."

"Oh, thank you."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes, we’ve been together going on two years now."

"Well he’s very lucky."

Folks I’ll admit it creeped me out just a bit, but I can’t help feeling actually flattered because instead of saying something ultra raunchy, he said something genuinely kindhearted, then turned to park his car at (presumably) his own apartment, and I continued forward toward my own.

Get home and texted my boyfriend and here was our exchange:

Me: Some guy who hit on me while walking back from the fitness center told me you’re “very lucky.” Because I’m “beautiful.” a little creeped out but kinda flattered.

Him: I agree with his sentiment (I realize now I read this wrong at first I thought he said “this” not “his”)

Me: Which one? Lucky, beautiful, or creeped out?

Him: 1&2

Me: /blushing

FOLKS, I am going to fucking marry this man some day. Also. Props to random dude for paying me a genuine compliment, accepting that I was turning you down, and being respectful. It is much appreciated.

I'm convinced that there isn't a way to pay a compliment to a woman you don't know without it coming across as creepy.

Very true, but I give this guy props for being really as un-creepy as he could. Slowing down beside me in his car? Definitely creepy. But the conversation we had afterwards really wasn't.

It's kinda disappointing to me to see another "GIANT FUCKIN' LAZER!!" smash instead of something more creative.

At least Lucario's got updated from "BFL THAT NEVER HITS ANYONE" to something . . . well, useful.

So one of the deans at a major college here apologized to the police department about the protests, saying "We haven't taught our students well."

Dean of my college (easily the #1) replied that that dean had no business saying that, and that the person who is best qualified to say it is our college's dean. So he agreed, saying "We really haven't taught our students well, just look at the President!"

How come, no matter how long I've played the Final Fantasy MMO's, I never got to see anything like that...

As long as you stay the fuck away from Ex Primals (which are a toxic pit of hate), Balmung has a pretty tight knit community so Flash Mobs are pretty easy to organise.

OMG fat Chocobos lol that's adorable~

People will randomly mount up on mammoths or their motorcycles while waiting for Huolon to pop in WoW, not terribly original but no one would make like a mount parade. That's fucking cute and very cool.

I've yet to see a /stepdance Flash Mob.

Very disappoint.

The single file line is impressive.
