So, What's Everyone Up To?

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 00:12

What's everyone up to these days? Anything exciting or different?

by Philly Homer 2011-02-17, 00:16

DW, if you're bored, you should make a band.

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 00:18

I'm not bored, I'm depressed

by **A-BIack_Man** 2011-02-17, 00:24

I've been spending a lot of time with this stuff

and even more time here

what about you?

by **Destral** 2011-02-17, 00:26

Music, real life, trying to squeeze the ambition to work on Red Squad in amongst all the other projects I want to do, attempting to get a friendship back on track, work...pretty much the usual.

EDIT: And trying to find a new job.

by Philly Homer 2011-02-17, 00:26

I'm glad I'm not doing stuff with math lol.

DW, you should find some sort of new hobby. Something that gets you outside and lots of fresh air. Like golfing maybe?

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 00:27

I hate golfing, between being very bad at it, it being an expensive game to play, NS being 6 months in winter it always seems like and me just plain and simply not liking golf, yeah, I hate golf

by Philly Homer 2011-02-17, 00:29

Okay, scratch golfing off the list then.

I'm sure you can go fishing a lot! It gives you time to be introspective while just relaxing and not doing anything!

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 00:30

Never been fishing, that's too isolated if you ask me. Plus there's mosquitoes. lots of mosquitoes.

by Philly Homer 2011-02-17, 01:01

Alright.

How about snowboarding? I'm sure you got lots of snow up in Canada...

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 01:37

You trying to kill me to take over the forum or somethin?

by Philly Homer 2011-02-17, 01:58

Kill you? If I wanted to kill you, I'd tell you to go diving or something.

Snowboarding is lots of fun, man

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 02:03

I don't consider broken necks fun

by **Thingy** 2011-02-17, 05:53

Some people are masochists.

I'm mostly busy with school. Math, the basics of how digital technology works (as opposed to analog technology. You know, ones and zeroes, been learning how to translate them to the decimal and hexadecimal systems and that shit), control technology (PLC's for this part of the course), the finer points of how electricity works (or, well, the finer points for first high school grade) and I've been thinking about learning basic coding so i have some background when Programming A starts next year.

by Jtull 2011-02-17, 06:43

Thingy I admire you I was learning the same stuff when I was younger than you. Smile

I am spending tons of time here

So, What's Everyone Up To? Images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQOgMVmSoUXYcuxOYD-HEhBCpA1XyXunumR54dXXqF8Ntu7r2KnTQ

and also just being at home playing COD

by Deoran Drages 2011-02-17, 09:06

my life hasnt really changed for two years, this place, xbox, games, school etc etc etc etc etc so so, yeah im doin the binary hexadcemial and octal crap as well, not really that hard (converting that is), some VB, some Python...

by Shemuel 2011-02-17, 13:42

Just did a mammoth report crap-out. Did it all today without stopping from 6am til 3pm deadline. Eating for the first time today.

[/quote="DW"]I don't like anything[/quote]
Walking?
Running?
Having religious debates with the local members of other Christian sects?
Hackeysack?

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 13:59

I used to like badminton in PE class, but I wouldn't go out and do it on my own time

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 14:04

I also find it amusing how the second post of this thread turned it into a find a new hobby for Darkwing thread Razz

by Evil Person 2011-02-17, 15:02

I got it, you could sit in front of the computer all day and make Midnight work, or instead, if thats not gonna work for you, then you could start playing minecraft, i find it very time consuming, OR play facebook games, very time consuming, OR try to fix broken mirrors bugs, lol, OR you could try to be a troll on some random forum thats the first google result you get. lol.

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 15:29

Those are all more likely things that i will do than the previous suggestions posted by other people :p

by Shemuel 2011-02-17, 16:20

Oh. I was going to say those aren't really very character-building things to do.

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 16:24

No, they're not, but that's what I do, use the computer all day

by Darkjedi 2011-02-17, 16:26

Mosquitoes? They die during the winter. That is, unless Canadian mosquitoes have overcoats. Meh, I don't keep up with these things.

Anywho, my new job is pretty good. I work 15 - 23:00 every day except Thursdays and Sundays. And the work is really easy. All I do is check up on certain people every hour, and give a few showers every day.

The only downside is that I'm constantly moving, and it's exhausting. Other than that, it's a dream job. Kinda. Well, for 9.35 an hour it is. And don't forget my personal life is now far from wonderful. I mean, who has parties in the mornings? Razz

LOL, I had a dream that Anderson Cooper (CNN guy that I want to strangle for no particular reason) was kidnapped, and I got a raise.

by Shemuel 2011-02-17, 16:37

Do you work with the elderly?

So you mean go ice fishing? You're even more messed up than I thought!

by Darkjedi 2011-02-17, 16:44

What? You're Canadian aren't you? I figured you'd be able to show me how to ice fish. LOL (Actually, my grandfather did that back in Finland.)

@ Shem

Yeah, assisted living and memory care. Well, I float between both places. It's a life care facility. Here's how it works:

There are four different sections of the massive complex. But I only work in memory and assisted. (They'll probably try to get me to work in the nursing home, but heck no! I'd have to be desperate for money to do that. That place is hell!)

Retirement Home
v
Assisted Living Home
v
Memory Care
v
Nursing Home

That's all of the sections in order of greatness. Retirement home being best, Nursing home being worst. When a resident's body deteriorates more, they get moved down to the the section that best suits their needs.

So basically, I work in a dieing facility. Fun.

Tennis. Do it. It's so much fun

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 18:46

I don't like the weight of the racquets and the playing lower. I liked badminton because of the lightness of the birdie and the racquet and that it always had to stay in the air

by Deoran Drages 2011-02-17, 18:48

you could do like inception and pretend you're doin every one of these things in your dreams and imagination

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 18:49

I do cool stuff in my dreams, not this stupid shit everyone's been suggesting

by Deoran Drages 2011-02-17, 18:51

you dont use a computer in your dreams while playing tennis at the same time?

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 18:52

No, I help Col Sheppard fight wraith with a lightsaber

by Darkjedi 2011-02-17, 18:58

Yes DW... badminton...

Tennis is much better.

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 18:59

TBH, I actually have no idea what's going on in that picture

by Darkjedi 2011-02-17, 19:02

As you can see, reality is being split into two dimensions by playing badminton, and therefore overlapping these dimensions, disrupting the space time continuum, and destroying the universe.

This is proof that badminton is evil, and too risky to play.

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 19:03

Or you should quit drugs for real this time

by Darkjedi 2011-02-17, 19:05

You're so spilly!

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 19:07

No, just cynical

by Darkjedi 2011-02-17, 19:12

Nice job with the arcade idea. I love it! Just was hoping you would stick BM2 in there.

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 19:13

I'm going to, the arcade is no where near being finished.

So, why did you say that?

by Darkjedi 2011-02-17, 19:14

I don't know. I feel a little scatterbrained today. Perhaps it's just exhaustion.

Have you ever heard of Erik Satie?

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 19:14

On another note, due to me now being bored, probably gonna start up an Adnromeda fansite, due to the shocking lack of organized Andromeda content out there

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 19:15

I has a theory, thus why I asked you first.

And no, I don't think I have heard of him

by Vedic 2011-02-17, 19:16

Well I've got on average 18 hours of free time a day, but I can some how never get anything done.

by Darkjedi 2011-02-17, 19:19

@ the other DW post

Really? I never really got into it. IDK, probably just because my family never really did.

My mom sorta did in the past, but that was probably back when I was occupied with the task (self-appointed task) of killing everything in my back yard with sticks.

Oh, and about Erik Satie. I'm learning this piece on the piano:

What do you think of it? Not really my typical taste, but it's simultaneously haunting, mysterious, and enchanting.

Very unique, don't you think?

I have down the mechanics of the piece, but I'm working on the dynamics, the emotions. It's quite beautiful to play. Very delicate.

by Vedic 2011-02-17, 19:22

I might start watching Andromeda After I finished watching Nu-BSG.

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 19:28

Andromeda's actually my all time favourite TV series, but I have, what's the word, eclectic, tastes

by Vedic 2011-02-17, 19:31

Well I've seen the odd episode on random TV channels, but never got into it cause it was half way throw the series, but now I have Internet that can load a 45 min Episode in a minute or two.

by **Darkwing** 2011-02-17, 19:33

Well....can I have your internet please?
