For all that I'm jaded about Macs and the artificial hype that surrounds them, Apple were the only ones that made a keyboard in the shape I wanted- with nice flat keys and none of that dam plastic useless guff surrounding the outside of it! I've looked and looked over endless varsities trying to find something good at a reasonable price and in the end the Apple's were by far the most inexpensive of that type.
I'll just have to learn to live without all the separate sound function keys and such that were on my more expensive fancy silver and black Dell keyboard… This Mac one uses the F keys for that and I don't yet know how to change their functions in Vista… And no screenshot key. :(

Whoop, fixed the keys! Thankyou Sharpkeys ^^

Still, it's worth it to have a nice slim metal keyboard.
Now if I could only find a nice looking mouse… Apple doesn't have any candidates I'd consider there.

Ug, I trekked all over the city looking for a funky mouse and nice headphones. all they had were ugly things in back or silver plastic. Hideous, Even in the groovy record shops- NO cool headphones. I'll have to look online.

Shopping is always a pain… Went to the DVD and record shops and the variety of music and movies is too overwhelming. Online for that as well I'm afraid.

Oh, the street was blocked by a weird protest of some sort. They were anarchists or Scientologists or something… I didn't stick around to find out, those things have a tendency to catch you up and make you part of them. Anoying.

somebody called my phone this morning. at like….11….they didnt even speak english, and the phone number id was 5200000000….asking for devo is what i understood….
also i tried to uninstall norton antivirus, and it froze up my interwebz. i mean norton sucks, and i have AVG. which is twice as fast, catches more items, and doesnt lock up my interwebz. also now every time my computer starts up, i get an error about norton not being able to initialize. and the download tool from norton doesnt help. because that locks up my interwebz when i try to download it. stupid norton.

HAZAAH! i went to a non norton related site, downloaded the program, and completely removed norton with that. which is kinda stupid. who makes a program where you have to download something to remove a program. oh god. i just realized, what if i have to download a program to remove the removal program…..oh no….AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH….oh…oh wait…it looks like the program either removed itself, or hid itself very well…..
I really… REALLY hate parents who don't know how to control or watch their kids. Was at work today and some like 4 year old decided to pull the fire alarm. We had to clear out 12 theaters of angry people whom just had their movie interrupted. Then we had to deal with a double rush, because it took a half hour- 40 minutes just to make sure everything checked out ok. So the second group was mad because their movie was starting late…… all because of stupid parents who couldn't watch their darned 4 year old… ARGH!!!!!
on a brighter note… we were so awesome we caught up and got back on schedule.
Continuing the theme of idiot parents, today me and my mum were walking to a place to do something (I forget what exactly, something to do with a dog), when we heard this woman behind us say 'wait until they're further away' to her kid. Then a few seconds later the kid shouts 'fanny' at the top of his voice.
People don't know how to shake hands. It's not hard.
1. Grasp hand, firm, but not crushing.
i always judge a person by this part. i know that even if the person doesnt have the same morale north that i have, if they have a firm but not crushing hand shake, they'll stand by their morales to the death. (the firmer the more set, in other words)
and this judgement of people works about 80% of the time.
I just wonder about their personal hygiene…
Some pundits say Westerners should start to use the Asian custom of bowing because then you don't have to worry about germs.
There are those of us who cannot shake hands firmly because of carpel tunnel, arthritis and tendonitis. Since I only have 50% feeling/strength (except for pain) in my right hand, a firm handshake is physically impossible. Anyone firmly shaking my hand I will be grimacing in pain and won't be able to move my hand for several minutes. They better not expect me to sign anything as I won't be able to hold a pen unless they don't mind me using my left hand signature.
I've been teaching myself to be ambidextrous for quite a few years now. Now I have to shake out my right hand and do clenching exercises to get the feeling back.
I've gotten a lot of compliments on my handshake from older men, they say they're surprised it's so firm and assured. I'm happy when i get unique compliments like that.

Fuck i don't get it, I can't get inspired to draw my comic at ALL. I'm not even that busy now, i'd rather just use my time for complete leisure- reading manga and watching movies and sleeping.

All of that heavy, responsibility school crap has finally been lifted and now you feel like repleneshing.
…perhaps.
I would definately prefer to bow rather than shake hands. People do things with their hands. Dirty things. Besides, it's as Bravo mentioned, some people are incapable of providing a firm handshake and this unfairly makes people look less respectable.

What about people who just refuse handshakes altogether?

Fistpound, brah.

Hell yeah.
To contribute, I can't stand passive-aggressive students. Today one of my classes ran about five or so minutes over. My professor doesn't really keep track of the clock once he starts his lectures, and it was 11:55 by the time he finally checked his watch after seeing much shifting, loud sighing, eyerolling, groaning and etc. from his lovely students.
Yes, I understand you're frustrated that class ran over time, but instead of being a silent dick about it, just raise your hand and say so, even if you think you're being rude! (For the record, all of the eyerolling and shit is a lot ruder than putting up your hand and saying, 'Excuse me Dr. Smith, but we're running over time.) Geeze, I had just noticed right before he did and was about to point it out when he beat me to the draw.
That and when a teacher ma inadvertently cut over their students or whatever. The guy who teaches this class isn't a crab or a terrible teacher or anything, he's genuinely very nice and polite. There's this one guy who sits in front of me that acts like a holier-than-thou asshole towards my teacher and takes underhanded snipes at him for no goddamn reason. He seems to have an ego problem or something, but I wish he and all the other people who do this would STOP.
Why is it these people with names like, LoveU892987392873 or Hawtguy3298y3323897293873098478388479387298283889289829190238120947-8228398723987, sometimes with perv shit in their little message box, keep randomly adding me on the playstation network?
I could kind of understand if it were on an instant messenger or website, there's a point to having friends/contacts there… but what in the name of gibs could come of adding some fucker you've never even played with before. Secondly, I've only ever seen two people type 'FoxmanZEO' accurately the first time, so it's like they've actually written it down or something. For the sole purpose of randomly adding me to their friend list. Thirdly, my profile basically says, "Fuck off."
What's the scam?
