So, I apologized to my friend yesterday. I just wanted to make peace with her. Here's how the conversation went after the apology;

HER: "It's ok, I realize you are just jealous I met someone."

ME: "OMG! Are you kidding me? We've been friends for 10 years do you even know who I am?!"

HER: "Of course I know you. What did you do last night?" (July 4th)

ME: "I spent several hours solving 'The Lost Symbol' tweets, and then fell asleep reading 'Digital Fortress' for the millionth time."

HER: "Oh, that is so boring, we need to find you someone."

(At this point, I'm glad we're on the phone so she can't see me bashing myself in the head with a pillow)

ME: "Ok, you know what? To me, that wasn't boring. I happened to really enjoy it, just like I really enjoy my life! Now let's drop it!"

We didn't stay on much longer, but oh good grief, what do I have to do to convince her I am not looking to meet anyone? I admit, I spoke to harshly before, and what I said didn't fit what she even said, but YIKES!!!

Wow....she's pretty relentless with the "finding someone" thing. I'd just ignore her....hope she catches on. I mean next time she starts going on about finding you a mate, then you do the same about something you like. Hopefully she'll get the hint.

Yeah, and I don't get it, what on earth do I need to say to her for her to get that I'm happy with my life as it is?

Some people never get the hint.

In all honesty, you shouldn't have to justify your life to a friend. If you're happy, that's all that matters!

Yo guys, long time no mock.

I have a question for you. Does anyone know what font standard phone text messages use? I have a comedy gig tomorrow night and I need to replicate it on a larger scale or else my set just won't have that. . .pizzazz.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Anyway, tell her you gotta go do MANLY things and you'll be at the party later.
You have room to talk. Your current one is the first to ever live on the same continent as you.

I don't have the answer, but good luck on the gig. I know you'll knock 'em dead.

The old ones on the monochrome Nokias used Fixedsys or a variant thereof. The new S60-systems (everything that came out this year) is as far as I can tell freely customizable.

*Voltron* · 07-29-2009, 11:09 AM

Thanks Anarchy, I owe you one.

**GK Punk** · 08-01-2009, 08:10 PM

Holy crap, I'm gonna be an uncle. Well, kinda. An old friend of mine I've been close with for years (My Mom and Brother call her my little sister.) just called to tell me her and her husband are expecting.

I'm all ready coming up with ways to spoil this kid.

(Some of you guys may remember her as the girl that has the ridiculous anime and manga collection)

*Mecha Cow* · 08-02-2009, 07:20 AM

Congrats, dude.

**Barkworm** · 08-02-2009, 02:24 PM

Congrats, man!

*gobo* · 08-02-2009, 03:06 PM

congrats, guy? ^_^'

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 08-02-2009, 06:31 PM

That's wonderful GK, that will be one lucky kiddo to have a fun uncle-type to spoil it.

**GK Punk** · 08-02-2009, 06:34 PM

Yeah I'm ridiculously excited about it.

愛 · 08-02-2009, 07:01 PM

Is this the girl who was wearing the Sailor Mars uniform in front of her anime and manga collection? I could probably beat her in terms of manga now. I have just about over 200 volumes of Japanese manga I got from Book Off. :3

**GK Punk** · 08-02-2009, 07:03 PM

I think she was wearing a pleated skirt and cat ears, I'm not sure if I still have the pics or not though, but yeah. She had two rooms in her house just for her manga collection, it was somewhere over 500 between Japanese and English about 2 years back. (Of course she had been collecting those for about 10 years by that point.)

I bet she sells alot of them now ot make room for the baby

愛 · 08-02-2009, 07:05 PM

Well, dang. That is quite a lot. I'll win someday!!

**GK Punk** · 08-02-2009, 07:11 PM

It's cause she'd buy tons every month. she'd blow hundreds of dollars on Manga at a time.

(We have a few Japanese book/media stores in the area...)

愛 · 08-02-2009, 07:13 PM

I see. I only get a chance when I go up to New York every few months. I'm going again in October, so I'll be sure to grab a whole bunch while I'm there. I also gotta pick up an electronic Japanese dictionary as recommended by my professor. Just gotta convince my mom that I actually need it.
