What were your New Year resolutions for 2009, and did you adhere to them?

Fortunately, I have written them down!

1. Be More of a Jerk

It went well... I think I managed to be less of a pushover, even though I'm still quite nice towards people. I still try not to let my concern about other people's feelings to stop me from being myself around strangers I should not care about.

2. Cease activity on the Polish side of the internet

Success! I stopped going to sites I really didn't like the community of. Keeping up with news, even when it's in a language I should read more of is never worth the stress.

3. Get a BA

Fail... This was a really bad year and I'm glad I still have a chance to get a proper education...

4. Learn some prayers

Fail... same reason as above...

5. Read More

While my mood throughout the year was bad enough I couldn't engage my mind into anything, I think I managed to read a bit more than last year...

6. Send some story to some magazines

I started doing the research, looking for magazines to send my story to... but then everything went downhill and I abandoned this too...

7. Start Jogging

As you might have guessed by now, this too is a Fail. After the shit hit the fan... eh...

8. Write Stuff

I tried... but found that my mind just isn't in anything other than despair over how things have become. So I focused on getting out of the mess instead.

Yep... I'm lame...

Ask me anything

How much sugar does awesomesauce contain?

After many hours of gruesome contemplation I have reached the conclusion that the true amount of sugar in AWESOMESAUCE if known to the mortal mind, will make said mind explode, leaving the brain an empty shell of its past glory...

thus only the not so intelligent people are capable of knowing the Truth!

Ask me anything

Why does this eye keep staring at me?

Weil wenn du lange in das Internet blickst, blickt das Internet auch in dich hinein.

Ask me anything

What's up with Krishna and cows?

my knowledge of Hindu mythology is rather limited... but a quick internet search tells me Krishna was a cow-herder in youth...

I think there's something there...

Ask me anything

Why do women have nipples?

so that babies can drink their milk and grow healthy and smart

Ask me anything

If two cows enter a barn and three leave afterwards, how many cows are in the barn, getting devoured by Cthulhu?

The Great Cthulhu devours all so the answer to how many cows he will consume is the same as always: All of Them...

Only the True Followers of the Great Cthulhu are safe until such time when the infidels are devoured, which amounts to a few extra seconds of your life!

Ask me anything

The Weekend

On Saturday I went to DragonMeet where I saw Insane_Prophet, Deoq and Revamp... Mithras didn't show up, no clue what's up with him... I was with my flatmate and another friend so we had some confusion as to what we're doing and I ended up walking on the guys halfway through a game of some Wrestlers RPG... I just sat next to them and read one of the books I bought... on to the things I bought!

Geist: The Sin-Eaters - I buy a White Wolf book every time I go to DragonMeet...
Hero System 6th Edition Volume 1 - the part with Character Creation rules, heavy book but I'm glad I bought it... I just like reading a book instead of a pdf... and I am running a superhero game using it...
Superiors 4: Rags to Riches - an In Nomine supplement detailing some Demon Princes, it was in the cheap stuff section, where I usually find out-of-print books...
War for the Throne - I normally buy an Exalted book this time of the year... but there weren't any so I got myself this Exalted boardgame... I'll play it this Saturday with my group...
a skull ring - it was cheaper than a pendant and I thought it's about time to wear rings... I'm also thinking of piercing my ear/s...
HeroClix - two booster sets since they were half-price and there are guys playing it on Sunday in the same shop I go to on the weekends... I got Batman and Batman 1 Million!
Dice - I bought a lot of various dice, one with a side that has the Union Jack, another with a skull, one with just Good/Evil/Neutral on it and one double d10 (a bigger d10 that has a smaller d10 in it)...

I also bought a die with poop on it and green 9d10 for Seventh Attempt... it was funny, I bought them from Q-Workshop which I know is a Polish company, I noticed that the staff has Polish names on their T-shirts (Magda, Przemek) so when they asked me what I think of the dice, I replied in Polish, talked a bit and they gave me a poster for free!

as the convention was coming to an end, I started looking for my flatmate but he was nowhere to be found so me and my other friend (the one who is also in my group here in Brighton) went to catch the train. While on the Overground, this friend got a call from a guy who is part of his London group and was invited to come over to game... so I went with him and we played Magic The Gathering, had pizza and finished off with Ave Caesar (a chariot racing board game)... best thing is that this group consists of two couples and both wives are hot...

I returned home at 1am and woke up with a cold the next day... my parents came over in the morning, my mom made dinner while me and my dad struggled with assembling the bike I bought... then me, my parents and my flatmate had dinner... I translated the conversation between them... then me and my dad had some mock lightsaber fight photos taken of us... my mom had a glass of wine with the flatmate while me and my dad played House of the Dead Overkill on the Wii with the pistol thingies...

after the first game, my dad got used to the controller and it was suddenly very hard to beat him in point scoring...

we went to bed after the game... after breakfast my parents went to Sainsbury's to buy my mom lunch for when she'll be on the plane and she bought Cif so she can clean up the bathroom before leaving...

then we said our goodbyes...
