JX Valentine

lol, they went and deleted all the mean comments.

Well... um... not that much! Okay, basically all of it but still! If you weren't living in a cultured world it'd be a good read, right? Yeah, I gotta agree with you there, but it's hard to come up with something original nowadays, what with so many ideas thrown around the place already. I don't know, maybe it's a blessing in some ways. After all, if you can make an original, good quality film... they can become major successes. Whilst there are films from fifty or sixty years ago that are better, and some of them didn't even make profits!

Before I read your VM, I was thinkin' about the newest Harry Potter movie, and as soon as I read that line I was immediately reminded of Tom Riddle's transition to Voldemort. Whether that's a good thing or not, you can decide!

Actually, now that I think about it... What's your stance on Harry Potter?

... I would like to thank you for being concerned and others too, but repeating the same thing over and over really doesn't help. I also realise that you have better things to do than bother me, and I sort of wish that you didn't bother with me as much as you did. I know I judge, believe me. However, I mostly do it in self defense of being judged myself. I suppose it's to do with the way I grew up and the things I've been through. However, even if you may not be concerned whatsoever, I'm starting to very slowly recover. So thank you for your concern, if or in whatever form that you have shown it.

How are you doing Valentine? Wanna comment on a map I made recently? ^^

You know, when you said that I brought you good cheer, as I folded my socks, I thought that I would be like a Christmas elf. Asty the Christmas Undead. So I figured that over the summer, I would write a Christmas special involving me, the Christmas Undead, and her special little buddy, Ender the Big-eared Christmas Elf With the Gay Hat, and we would have to drive off in our MAGICAL FOCUS with its MAGICAL CUP HOLDERS to save Christmas.

And then Oscar Wilde frowns on our shenanigans. :(

Edit: (Because I'm not sleeping tonight! For some reason.) I found this, and it is a big picture so it will take time to load, but it is well worth it, for it involves Nathan Fillion and a hat.

Edit, the Son of: Photobucket is being lame and not loading for me. So no Sim pictures at all until Photobucket actually decides to work.

Yeah, actually, at a certain temperature, your proteins will start to denature, so basically your internal organs are cooking themselves. *thumbs-up with nod*

*reads over your recent VMs* ...Wow, uh, way for someone to miss your point? :P

I would've defended you when he said 'you're really gaining some sick pleasure at bothering me aren't you?' but... he posts in blue font! If I attacked, it'd seem like I was killing the younger me.

Not that you need defending, but you know.

*pokes* Talk more often, or I'll send my army of dancing Ludicolo, Flamethrowing Sentret, Exploding Charizard and Exploding Magikarp to steal your Unown and Combee.

...and there are such things as Exploding Magikarp, I swear. I actually encounted one when my Crystal started acting up. XD

But anyways! How are you?

You're right, I am miserable. I doubt anyone wouldn't be under the conditions I currently have. Doesn't help that you seem to be giving me huge walls of text about well... things we've already covered frankly. So please, I'm asking you kindly incase you "accuse" me of being ill rational, to simply stop. Believe what you want, but I do not lie. I am no liar, I hold honesty as no trivial thing. If I wasn't sick, I wouldn't have put up the thread in the first place. I suppose I respond because pride comes before the fall and as aggravating as it is for me and foolish as it maybe, I will not take things lying down. I respect your viewpoint, fair enough, yet you're really taking this further than necessary. For reasons that I don't even know of. Also yes, it does seem hypocritical from my point of view, since you're really gaining some sick pleasure at bothering me aren't you? Either way, enough is enough, I know where to stop but you don't seem to.

Well I kinda replied a little bit late too, so we are about even. No need to apologize. ^^

I just had a meeting with the professor today, and my first task in the program is to assist the work of solar energy storage system, which uses Zinc as medium. The main problem with the usage of solar energy is that it is not available at night, so an efficient and economical way of store solar energy is rather important. I am also researching on other fields of solar energy application, and perhaps I will be able to contribute to the development of solar vehicles in future.

I understand it would be hard for you to find a job, especially under such an economy. You may pursue something else for sure, but it is still recommended for you to get enrolled in a graduate school and study for another three years(hopefully the economy will turn a little bit better two or three years later). I'm not going to get a full-time job until I complete my study in graduate school, but a part-time job would be a neat idea for me. I am already offered a part time job, but I have to consider before I am 100% sure it won't intervene my research in the Chem-engineering lab. I am still planning on my transfer applications too. My college ranks at around 30-35 according to US news, so guess I stand a not-so-bad chance on Ivy league universities. I am still wondering when to submit the application forms, and I am not gonna rush it.

I'm glad you like the anime-based maps for Pkmn HOF. Those giant maps take longer to complete, but I am glad to see most of the fans like them. It kinda builds up the hype of my game, and I have to make progress constantly so I won't disappoint them. I am also planning on a storyline based on the anime and pkmn adventure manga series. Do you have any idea on how to integrate the elements from the anime and manga series to the original pokemon video games? Sorry if it sounds a little bit harsh for you.

And yeah, it is more convenient in invisible mode since you can reply to people's messages when you are able and willing to do so. Also it is good to see you working on beta and writing again, and don't forget to link me to your beta whenever you finish one. My weekend is nothing enjoyable, as I've been trying to learn the basic knowledge required for solar energy research and dealing with the conflict between two of my friends. I am tired of being a babysitter already, but it is really hard to quit acting like a father when the kids need you.

I can NOT believe it took me almost a month to realize that you ended that last VM with a question.

I've been fine, and my grades have been fine too. Paying attention to school means less time for fanfiction, but I'm doing my best to keep up around here!

It's not awkward in the sense of the things I'm saying are awkward. They're just sounding awkward because I can't get things out correctly. I'm not sure why. All I'm saying is that my new monitor is huge, so my Sims are huge as well.

(And well, that my parents say that Northampton is a doable road trip, and that I'm getting a car soon, and a license soon after, so...)

*snort*

First, *tweaks your nose*

Second, if you want to read the whole story, here. If you just want the stories surrounding her, here. Just letting you know that Sims stories make use of both images and words to tell a story, so you might be sitting there waiting for each page to load. You might want to wait until you get back to college to read them.

It's okay. I was punished for inflicting that pain on you with a Ash/Pikachu fic that scarred me. It was just...gah.

I always ignore it whenever it comes into my section. I am a rebel with an odd cause.

Would you like me to forward you the PM I received from the author? It made me think that we either need a PFF&P drinking game, or for the minors, a bingo game.

You're not the only one. Every couple of months, some poor soul wanders onto Hatrack and says that Card must really hate families, because he rarely writes about a family having happy fun times. All of Card's bootlickers say that AN AUTHOR'S PERSONAL VIEWS DO NOT AFFECT HIS WRITING. So...I dunno.

Which is a funny thing to think about if you're talking about John Paul and Theresa, or Andy and Angel.

(Speaking of the latter two: The family still doesn't have much money. There's still only three lights for the entire house. The second floor bedrooms don't have floors or walls. The three kids only have sliding down the stairs, shoving their heads through furniture, and getting stalked by some random person for fun things to do. And, since Angel has nothing to do, I hacked Andy pregnant for the lulz. I would have hacked Angel pregnant, but I'm still not ready to see him like that. After Andy got pregnant, I sent him outside in the freezing cold weather until he nearly starved to death and peed his pants. I think that's why he glared at me.

(Also, I think one of the reasons Val weirds me out is because she is a female clone of her brother Orson. She would look better if she was a man. I think the new versions of Andy and Angel are just too manly.)

Well, at least you'll know when I show up in Northampton for pizza. I'll be the one badly singing "Don't Stop Believin'" or "We Didn't Start The Fire", which I know most of the words to.

You just want to see me in spandex.

It really didn't have much strawberry daiquiri flavor to it. It might taste better garnished with you.

Edit: Also, I was juggling chainsaws, and cut my legs off. Should I call an ambulance? Or ask a Pokemon forum what to do?????

Yeah, I'm gonna try it and see how it works out, just for laughs. It's funny 'cause when I first thought of it, I was expanding the plot and I was thinking how amazing it was... and then after I described it to a friend he could list five movies I was blatantly copying from. Not good.

Ah, that's not fair! There are some very good pieces of writing in OW.

Because people aren't taking notice of what I said, if you really disagree with me then simply stop talking to me. It isn't hard. Your judging me without even reading what I'm actually looking for, everyone now seems to be doing the same. I won't go to the doctors, I know what I have now, end of story. If anything I think it's you who's being defensive, saying all this when it simply isn't true. I'm accusing no one, it's you who's accusing me.

I've tried many many times before to leave you a message, and they all came out sounding awkward.

So I'm just going to say that my new computer runs my Sims faster, so I'm going to go torture Andy for a while.

How are you doing this weekend?

awwwh, thank you. I do what I can :)

*imagines Bill killing someone in sex*

...Yeah, that's just what he needs. XD

You are welcome. It was a pleasure reading your articles. ^^

Well I have talked with my professor today, and luckily I am still in the program despite a few days absence. I was given an instruction book on solar energy and the machine we are going to use in the lab, and I will be researching in one of the specific area of the practical application of solar energy. I will be assisting the work of the professor or graduate students occasionally, and I will have to finish an academic report by the end of the summer break. Guess I will be having a busy summer from now on.

So you have been looking into graduate schools. It seems that the locations and job opportunities are your top priorities. I wouldn't mind where my future graduate school is as long as it is suitable for me. You are interested in becomin a copy-editor? Sounds cool and I wish you success.

For the college transfer thing, Well, I kinda limit my choices within top Ivy leagues universities like U-Penn, Columbia and schools like Stanford, MIT. I am already in a school ranked at 35th according to US news, so my expectation is kinda high this time. My parents are not giving too much pressure on me this time, so it is all up to me.

Well, you can take a look at the new maps for my fan game, which distinguishes it from most of the fan games/hacks available on the internet:

And you are welcome, I am glad you wish to be my friend! You are invisible again now, and I dunno if someone is going to stalk you at midnight if you appear to be online. Some may appear as stalkers, but they turn out to be nothing but liars. I know people who are invisible on PC for various reasons, and I am invisible myself.
