Alright, confess odd things.

For example, I'm jealous to my big brother becuase he discovered The Smiths first. Dammit, now I can't have a crush for Morrisey without feeling weird about it.

doublepost?

@ EI: IMBD doesn't say anything about it. Trivia section:

"* When the film was screened at the Rotterdam Film Festival 2000 it had a record number of walkouts. At the Swiss premiere someone passed out and needed emergency room attention.

  • The dog bowl of vomit fed to Asami's (Eihi Shiina) prisoner is in fact the actual vomit of actress Eihi. Takashi Miike claims that Eihi is a method actress and insisted on doing this.
  • Takashi Miike wanted to end the film at the onset of the torture scene that the film is now famous for. However, one of the producers told him to "be a man and see it through to the end."

I never went through a youthful rebellion.

I went through youthful rebellion before I was a teen and stopped fairly soon after.

I don't like remembering that time. I was a really, really stupid kid back then.

Everyone has a Dork Age.

Somebody should confess something to rerail the topic. I can't think of anything.

I'm lactose-intolerant, but love ice cream. Most other dairy can be thrown out the window, though.

I don't understand why people get so riled up about weird or oddly-spelled names. I don't really go for 'em myself, but the outrage some people express over them baffles me.

I've also spent well over a hundred dollars on various Internet games, on different Revenue-Enhancing Devices. (In one case, I don't feel so bad about it, though, because the guy who runs one site is Just One Guy, instead of a faceless corporation, and the website's donations are his main source of income. He got to quit his job to design a tiny but lucrative web game, which is pretty awesome.)

On the trope about mental illness I posted that I don't expect to die. I made mention that I had taken preparations. I'd like to elaborate on that now. I've signed up for cryonics this past winter. It's cheaper then I expected, they even have a student discount. I also haven't told anyone except my (life) insurance agent (that's how you pay for the thing), the cryopreservation company and now you folks. The paperwork should be finalized sometime before August, (there's a lot of paperwork).

Also, if anyone in the NY/NJ area needs a good life insurance agent, my guy was really good(although he messed one thing up and got a company wide e-mail distributed about my case).

If I had money, I might consider going for it myself, though not so optimistically...maybe I just don't know much about cryogenics, but I have a hard time imagining that they'll ever get to the point where someone could, you know, leave the facility. Alternately, the building gets destroyed before then.

Oscredwin, you should invest in Transhumanism. Immortality in instrumentality! That was one of my goals last year, actually. Not so much anymore.

@AFGNCAAP It's pretty cheap, all things considered. In ten yearss the inssurance will pay for the member fees. I linked to the site for a reason, they got good info. The basic premise is that the tech doesn't need any major breakthroughs, just a lot of refinement. The difference between a 2001 iPod and a 2009 iPod, not the difference between a stereo and an iPod.

@melloncollie How does one "invest" in transhumanism. I expect to get immortality in a more permanent form, but this is just in case it takes longer then my lifetime/I get hit by a bus.

edit: It occurs to me that this makes my new avatar more appropriate, no?

"Invest" as in, invest money in sci/tech companies who are into transhumanism? Sorry, I assumed you were a billionaire with nothing to spend on with all that money.

@Oscredwin: I've been meaning to look into cryogenics for quite some time myself. It's a lot more affordable than I thought it would be... now I just need to get off my ass and get the contracts drawn up. Hopefully when I'm unfrozen I can become best friends with an alcoholic whoremongering robot thief!

Seriously, though, thanks for the link. The thought really has crossed my mind several times.

I had thought about for years. Read an article talking about how the universe was unfair, a saintly paragon of moral virtue living 200 years ago was doomed to his threescore and ten while a humdrum computer programmer could invest a little of his disposable income in our present age and last long enough to be immortal. After the article was written Alcor reported to the author that 8 people had signed up for cryopreservation siting him as the cause.

If my posting this gets you(or anyone) to finally start that slog through the paperwork towards immortality ... it would make me very happy.

I really have been saying "I have no intention of ever dying" in Real Life for quite some time... perhaps it is time I invested in making that more than an idle boast.

It is a slog. You need to get about 5 forms noterized, (with two witnesses not you or the notary). It's all done by mail (unless you live in the american south west), and takes about 6 months (I filed my first form in January, got my insurance physical around then and haven't finished) . I have to say, becoming immortal is a fairly banal process.

I ate quite a bit of froyo in the Philippines. Mostly original flavor with no toppings since most of the places I went to didn't have vanilla.

I sent Faw the story of my accident, and I'm slightly worried about what his reaction is going to be =\/

secondly, I'm volunteering for an event starting at 5 am? Self, what on earth were you thinking?!

From a combination of the two, I'd imagine you're rather stressed...it's okay. Don't worry about whatever you have to do; lack of sleep is rarely as bad as you think it will be. You seem to me like someone I can believe in.

Real confession. I feel so horrible about this, but whenever I hear on the news that a woman raped a man... A little, tiny part of me says "Well, that's evening the playing field a little."

I'm so horrible. So so horrible. sad
