Well...I had a long post written responding to many things here, and I accidentally went back and I lost all of it in the form >_<. Now I have 20 minutes before I leave, and don't think I will be able to rewrite all I had before I head out.
the avatar exchange looks...amusing, and it makes me wish that I had come back earlier in order to take part in that.
Also on the site, it feels somewhat good to take part again in the FCC, as I had to miss the previous 2 months due to me going to Germany for a month.
Alacar: Hmm...for the DS... I like Mario Kart DS, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (I may hate the pokemon merchandising...but the games are still amazing. Metroid Prime: hunters is fun somewhat, but I got bored and frustrated of playing an FPS on such a small screen (compared to the 22" computer monitor I use to play Battlefield and CS on).
Also...I use the same program as Alacar for anti-virus, as a friend of mine got a copy when he was in the army, and they allowed him to keep it, and he had 1 install left, so I used it.
The house is a nice place, I see it is still moving as fast as ever (2 pages of 40 almost in the past 14 hours). But I do agree that we are one of the nicest places around here on the site (sorry if any clans take offense, I don't scour every thread here). I also don't see that bloodydoves had to leave after what happened last night, as I don't think anyone took real offense to that (Photon, if you did, please correct me on it)
As for advancements in my life over the past 6 months, if anyone cares, I went and finished up Junior Year of High School, and then spent the first 4 weeks of summer over in Germany, where I had some of the best memories of my life (Were they better than memories in here? Maybe >_>)
Actually, my ride came early, at 1:47, so I have to leave...now...fast...later all, back in 3-4 hours.
yo nemcon did those memories have anything to do with drinking XD. or clubbing or both XD. i know i did alot of that when i was in china this summer. partay!
"Hey guys. Sorry about the events of yesterday. Wasn't my intention. Basically, my folks got pissed that I spend too much time online, and decided to restrict my net access to one hour a day. MTGS was cut, since they don't like message boards much. They've also changed my account password, so I can't even log in.
I also have a friend that I convinced to join MTGS a few days ago. He told me he liked it, and found this place called the Coffeehouse (he LOVES coffee). If you know him, you can talk to him and stuff. Mike's a cool guy. "
Everything there is true, save this, which I didn't tell you earlier Omna. I worked around my father's ban. I did it yesterday, with a friends (the aforementioned, Mike) assistance. He had made this account for me already, and I've been using it since then.
I have no excuses. I have no apologies. I have only this: I... am a fool for lying. I should have known better.
I wanted to be a better person, you each deserve it. On the BD account I was stupid and foolish, and a COMPLETE ass far too much of the time, and it was wrong, but I couldn't well change. It was a 2,000 post account for God's sake! That's HOW I WAS, and I was wrong. I wanted a fresh start, under a new name, something that no one would know was me.
I could have done it too, save for one person wh figured it out. Yukora PM'd me and said it was wrong, and I needed to come clean. He was right.
There you are. My lies and foolish decisions laid bare for all to see. I don't expect forgiveness. I don't even expect you to talk to me again. I don't deserve it. I've only made things worse with this, though I only wanted to be a better person, and a better friend to you all. I've made a terrible decision, and now I'm stuck with it. My other account is not accessible, due to it's changed password, which I do not know. If you'll have me, I'm here. If not, I understand, and will leave you all alone. Just say the word.
God forgive me, for I have done you all wrong.

Previously known as bloodydoves. Still me, go here to get details.
LOL Duke/BD you have not done wrong, you just were a little confused and ashamed and sorry. As far as I know, none of us here at the house has really been that annoyed and bothered by you or your antics, at all. I mean, A_Banana was worse than you, and he's been banned for other reasons than being annoying on the House. I mean, I have been known to be annoying on the House sometimes. It's not a problem. I just hope you're a little wiser for all of this, yeah?
*Alacar digs up HugaTron and it gives BD a big ol' hug.
More than a little bit Alacar. Much shamed, that's for sure. I need to break my habit of punishing myself, then lying so no one knows I hurt myself. v_v
In other news, this is my account to stay I think. I'll get around to personalizing it shortly. Just need a little blurb...

I tend to agree with you, Sakura. My opinion on the matter: I honestly don't care about the usage of the word ***, what bothers me is the context. Clearly, if someone is using it to be agressive towards me, I will be upset. I generally find it irritating when people use gay to mean "dumb" or "ridiculous", but unless it's a constant barrage or the first thing out of someone's mouth (ever play Diablo II on Battle.net? Good God...) I generally ignore it. But honestly in casual conversation, especially with people who I know to be friends and/or not homophobic, I really don't care if people call each other or me ***. I can't count the number of times a friend has totally flamed out and another friend says "you're such a ***". It's all in good fun.

Why? I miss Bloodydoves, but that's your decision. Also, BD has a more impressive post count, a blog (so does this one, but hey) and an awesome Epic character

No worries. I know what it is like to feel ashamed of ones actions and feel stuck and trapped to continue those actions because you assume people know you that way and expect in. I have lived my whole life this way. Living as a man and acting as I feel people expect me because I feel trapped in it, and doing foolish things to escape it in the end (I lost almost all of my friends when I came out, I did and said some stupid things while shedding my old self)
You will always be Bloodydoves to me, and I actually liked the banter between Photogeneric and you. If you have noticed, I spam flame him silly to. It is fun. He is one of my fav people actually.
Do not edit and censor who you are on here, be who you and who makes you happy. If you are not openly yourself then you are truly a House person. If you enjoy your raport with Photon then continue. He likes it anyways, its like tossing him a fish...he will even balance a ball on his nose and clap and "arf arf" if you make him happy enough.
i used too play dark eldar for about 2 years, winning alot of tourneys, and having a good time etc...
ahh wh40k, brings back memories, i still play the RTS's.
Well guys, I bought Starfox 64 on my Wii; why? Because 1) I'm gonna be getting the other games eventually at some point, and 2) The multiplayer. That was the best part of the game. 4 player StarFox is fun. Now we just have to wait for Goldeneye..
BD/Duke, I really don't see any fault in the way you were on your old account, if that's the issue. I can think of a lot of people whose site conduct was a lot worse than yours, and they're all still around save for one or two people. Respected members, even. So no worries. I doubt any of us hold you in the least contempt. Just hang out, get to know us, and forget about the bad stuff =)
In other news, I scored another rare game today. Lufia: The Ruins of Lore. And the collection only grows!
Sepiriel that doesnt sound good, sounds oddly reminiscent of TB, it could be serious. My grandmother was coughing up blood and thank god it wasn't a serious case of TB, but still you never know. Good thing we have one of the, if not the top rated hospitals for that in denver
@ duke: would it be possible for a site admin to change your password for you? my parents at one time tried to do the same thing, and i just reasonably negotiated with them saying i'd do other things asside from the computer, and all was fine. Contrary to popular belief i actually spend a ton of time away from the comp, its just summer can get sort of boring on the weekdays
It's my wife's uncle, not my moms for a prodigy u are kinda lacking in phosphorus, get some fishliver oil too stimulate your memory :p.
No probs, you said sorry and did the right thing by telling the truth, i havent been around for that long but i can honestly say that im just glad you'll still be around, and hey the best thing about the coffee house is the friendship every single member here has for each other, and whats friendship without forgiveness right?
Now while i understand sakura has not mentioned or asked for me to apologize to her, after reading my posts again and a few hours of introspection (i do that a lot), i believe i owe it to her and everyone else to say that im sorry for being an ass in the way i speak. Sometimes i dont think and i use words that are hurtfull to others, like i said to bloody i havent been here long, i just tend to get attached to people so easily its difficult for me to realize sometimes that i say things people may consider insulting (one reason why i seem distant IRL and keep my friends to a very short list),every time i log into the house i think "wonder how my friends are doing?" and while i know i got no right to call anyone here friend i feel that way (im an idiot i know), sorry if i offend, sorry if i assume to much, and sorry if i say sorry so much and get into mushy moods like this, its kinda the way i am, hope it doesnt bother you all that much.
well its almost 4am, i cant sleep, and i think i already annoyed you all enough for the night.
Bye for today.
No worries. Being ignorant is fine as long as you are willing to learn. It is when people fail to improve and learn that they are a problem.
An ex of mine always called black people "porch monkeys". She could not fathom what was hateful about it. She grew up hearing it and had friends that used it. When I explained it to her, she felts awful.
Guys, i've decided that since i have some spare time, i should resume my writing for mtg websites.
currently looking for some inspiration? financial value of 10e? block? legacy? the impact of masters edition? the site i've written for about 10 times (brainburst) is somewhat geared towards recent stuff, but i don' know maybe master edition?)
its a miracle what my proofreading does to my raw writing

The Golden Rule of forums: If you're going to be rude, be right. If you might be wrong, be polite.
So I met this really awesome girl through Facebook yesterday. She lives a few towns over. We have alot in common and is bi and very hot. She showed some serious intrest in me. We seem very like minded in our views on life and everything, it was very refreshing talking to her. She is easily one of the most direct and open people I have ever met. We quickly started talking like we had known each other forever...never was there that moment where everything was confusing or we felt lost or short of words. The whole conversation was as if it was a best friend.
She had to go out of town for a few days (she asked me to come, but because of work I couldnt...or I easily would have) but we have plans for Sunday.
Just wanted to vent about that, I have been glowing over it all day
Foolycooly - Yes, many of those germany memories consisted of drinking and/or clubbing...usually both. But it was damn well worth it!
Alacar: Yay at getting Starfox64! One of the first games I had for N64, and I still play that at times...along with Goldeneye, and the old Mario Partys.
As for blooddoves/Duke: I really don't know you, but don't be ashamed of your mistakes. A while ago, I was probably best described as a pompus a-hole for about a month or two. But most of all, I learned from that time, and I have changed my ways in order to be less...arrogant i guess? Not to the part where I would be crazy and prude, but to a point where I was still myself and people enjoyed that person. I learned from my mistakes, and many people can. Don't be ashamed of them, just brush them off and move on towards your goal, if your desire is to change. However, don't force change upon yourself. We did not get angry over that, and you should not feel bad, because from what I can tell, no one saw you as an ass or saw you as someone they didn't want to be around. They knew you were joking, even if it seemed at first to you that they took it seriously. Just sit back, don't worry, and relax here.
Foolycooly: I could give you ideas, but the complete lack of ideas is the reason why I don't write articles for magic. That, and the fact that my writing is usually indechiperable and confusing, as the previous paragraph was.
Edit: Congrats on meeting someone you feel very good with, Sakura!
Alacar: 2 weeks notice from your job, or two weeks notice from the cofeehouse? Or something completely different? I hope if its one of the things I listed its the former.
FL: I like in Type 2 (assuming you are playing that) currently either 4 color teachings control, or Rg Aggro. Though if you are using those two decks listed, go with Mono-Red Burn. Also, happy birthday! Sorry I didn't notice that earlier, I just saw the tag under your name while doing a vote count on MS (you are under the same name of FL on MS right?)
Yea, I usually don't use the name Nemcon anymore...I wanted something a bit different, so I went with my name backwards over there...but kept the same avvy, so I'm not that hard to find.
And yea, I understand how the cost of those decks can offset you quite a bit. And then you add in a bunch more expensive cards, and it hurts quite a bit on the wallet, much like me getting back into Legacy is.
the avatar exchange looks...amusing, and it makes me wish that I had come back earlier in order to take part in that.
Also on the site, it feels somewhat good to take part again in the FCC, as I had to miss the previous 2 months due to me going to Germany for a month.
Alacar: Hmm...for the DS... I like Mario Kart DS, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (I may hate the pokemon merchandising...but the games are still amazing. Metroid Prime: hunters is fun somewhat, but I got bored and frustrated of playing an FPS on such a small screen (compared to the 22" computer monitor I use to play Battlefield and CS on).
