"A LAN party is a temporary, sometimes spontaneous, gathering of people together with their computers, which they network together primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer computer games."
I even ran my own LAN Party from 2002-2003 called the Dead Gamers' Society. Now I don't have as much time to dedicate to them anymore. I still visit Caleb's LAN Parties and Quakecon in Dallas, Tx.

A proposition
“Because Change is good”
Okay, so now is the time to start thinking about our summer schedules. Last summer was annoying once everyone except Jo had a job, because there were random LANs and other stuff that a lot of people couldn’t come to because of work. So…I propose that we all turn in a summer schedule with about 36 hours off in a row once a week. Then, every week we have like, an informal hanging-out / LAN time to do whatever. You wouldn’t have to come every week, of course, but it would be nice to have it available all the time. I was thinking about taking Friday night and Saturday off, as an example. I might need that time for flying, anyways. Anyways, tell me when you would want time off, and we can all try to match our schedules for the summer.
Lately, it seems that I have been going through a creative-withdrawl. I cannot find the strength to sit down and write entries on my site. I've said it before, but I will say it again.. I'm worn out. I haven't had a day off in months. Luckily, JeloH is being held on the 18th of October. I am going to take that whole weekend off as a time to finally kick back and enjoy some quality stress-free time at the LAN. I also want to take the 19th off, and have some sort of minilan maybe. I demand comments about who's interested. Maybe another idea? Don't make me bored. Hmm...what else? Let's move onto current events:
School: Getting good grades on tests, but I just don't have the willpower to do homework these days. I skipped 2 out of 3 classes today because I didn't have any homework done. It just piles up and I have to do it later, but for a few hours I am free again.
Fun: Hmm...Maybe I am getting a 12" Apple Powerbook soon, can't decide. On the one hand, they are hella cool, but I don't want to use Mac OS X really. I want to be able to use Direct X. And it's really expensive. I am completely torn apart on this idea.
Anime Society: Working with Office of Campus Life and Buisiness Administration to get us a new room to hold the meetings in. They demand to charge us $100 for the use of the projector. Yeah, right. Like we're going to break it or something. I don't think they realize that we have been using the Math Building's projector for years, and I work at Resnet, so we might be able to figure it out.
Website: Added the merkur.sytes.net header to the Archive and Comments pages. Also redid the search page form in merkur.sytes.net theme. Yeah, you like my dynamic website, don't you? That's what I thought. Anyways, these updates, small as they are, really bring the website together. One day I might even update the Feature pages. Maybe next semester.
Anime LAN: Wtf, no I'm not trying to run another LAN again. Too much stress, not enough time.
Other: I've started to watch Fruits Basket again, this will be my sixth time watching it start to finish. This is seriously the best show I've ever seen. Not without faults, of course, but it's not like anyone could have a good reason not to watch it. It's a real good mix between hilarious comedy and downright scary depressing drama. I'm going to buy the DVDs some soon, after i figure out the laptop thing. Then you'll see. You'll all see.
Eclipse: Your server went down, n00bie!
Mother fucking Toshiba Laptop is one crazy n00bie, n00bie!
Blackrazor: Damn! This Laptop is one unpredictable n00bie, N00bie!

Blackrazor: Bitch! You ma numma one n00bie!
Ghetto: OH! Hold on my n00bies! Whats missing here?
Eclipse and Blackrazor: OH!

Ghetto starts playing some ghetto rap music loud over speakers
Nebbish barges in
Nebbish: Hey! What are you doing?
Ghetto turns off music
Nebbish: Whats up, n00bies!
Everyone laughs
Blackrazor: Yo, nebbish, whats with all that crazy gear, n00bie?
Nebbish: Oh, I come here for rest of day. Anybody call for me, you tell them, this n00bie gone LANNin.
Nebbish turns around, on back of shirt is "n00bie gone LANNin"
Everyone laughs
<Exit Nebbish>
Airmack enters on phone
Airmack: Oh, really? Did you see the new Brad Pitt movie? He's so cute, gotta go.
Everyone stares at him
Airmack: What?
Eclipse: What? What? I tell you what. Your posts were taken down, n00bie.
Airmack: Its not so bad.
Eclipse: Not so bad? You posted everything but interesting stuff.
Blackrazor laughs
Airmack: So what? I can post whore anyways.
Eclipse: You can post whore? If n00bie post whores, n00bie no practice gaming. If n00bie no pracice gaming, n00bie no beat darkseed. If n00bie no beat darkseed, n00bie only wins second in tourney and gets no prize, n00bie!
<Airmack starts to cry>
Eclipse sighs and looks around
Eclipse: There, there, my little n00bie, its ok. It's ok
I will not be going to Quakecon 2003 this year. I am sorry to all the people I promised I would go. At the beginning of summer, it looked like I had a pretty good chance at being able to go. However, as the time for QC comes nearer, it is more apparent that the middle of August is going to be pretty stressful with work at Six Flags, work at ResNet, entering school again, and trying to get my pilot's license all around that time. There was still a small possibility of me going, but it would be a longshot and very expensive even if i ended up not going, so I have decided to stop planning for it now, so I am not disappointed later.
Once again, sorry.
