So. At the moment, I can't access anywhere online on this computer except for T Vtropes, which works perfectly.
God, I have the weirdest computer.
Me and my brother watched a Swedish show about street art, and there was a segment about the "Free Hugs" phenomenon. My brother hates it, and we devised a culture jammin alternative, where we'd go to a Swedish speaking place, with a plastic knife, and a sign reading "Gratis Huggs" *.

It started in Australia, with one guy just going around with a sign, and giving hugs to anyone willing to recieve. The police tried to prevent him, because he wasn't insured, so he had a petition made. It spread from there. It's just a random act of kindness type of thing.
Still, Gratis Huggs, everyone!
That makes me think of the time three different people randomly came up and gave me a hug when I went to a local anime convention. Friendly bunch those otaku are.
I was in Matt (Death Note) cosplay and I was hugged by a Link, a Mello, and someone with a shirt that said 'I <3 Yaoi Boys'.
I've decided to start posting more often. Sorry.'Friendly' may not be the right word.
Especially the ones who wear 'I <3 Yaoi Boys' shirts and ESPECIALLY when they're hugging someone cosplaying as Matt.
Although I did get a hug at Otakon wearing EGL, so who knows.

Various threads here are getting me computer-paranoid. Why the hell is SecuROM running on my computer?! I don't have Spore or Bioshock or anything!
[1] This facsimile operated in part by synAC.Secu ROM is fairly common. I wish Spore and Bioshock were the only games that had it.
Well it's probably harmless, but it really bugs me that it's just sitting there, immune to my prying eyes (well it was anyway). It might be The Sims 3.

I wonder, if you put two or more of them in there, if they'll ever resort to cannibalism...

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...Grrr. A pox on those who would try to keep me from illegally copying their software by installing a sorta-rootkit. I'd be more okay with DRM if it worked, I think, not that it ever will.

A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!It's my brother's game anyway, not mine. The last Maxis game I enjoyed was SimTower.

I need some flimsy pretext to write down all these great oneliners I come up with. Most recent:
"A snappy one-liner is no match real knowledge, but works most of the time"
It's a modified Voltaire quote. Yes, a witty saying proves nothing, but for some reason, it works on people.
