I'm rather happy today.
Sawah, remember when we were talking about Melbourne and how you've been to the "huge" Highpoint?
Well now it had an extension. L1 was kept intact, but once you went up the escalator to get into what was previously known as "Level 2", you'll find that the hallway once only continuing with a coffee shop has grown into a large, modern hallway that went under the once-known-as-Level 3 Riverbank Food Court. There's a lot more clothing shops now, and I believe the section is called "Essentials". There's an AFL shop, half-a-dozen clothing stores... and a giant, two-storey bookshop! Upon entry, I immediately fell in love with it. The aforementioned is called "Borders". It has a giant library of books, music, movies and magazines! Not so surprisingly, there was a library of all the aforementioned things, neatly organised. Oh, and there were seats and a magazine rack, conveniently placed near a bunch of sofas. Oh, and there's a corner café in there too, of the "Gloria Jean's Coffees" franchise. I could smell the beans. ^______^
Oh, and I persuaded my mother to get me an iTunes Music Card to the value of $20.00, which allows me to top up with credit on the iTunes Music Store of Australia. And I struck a deal with Abby. By the time she would obtain an iTunes Music Card herself, I told her I would trade songs available here with songs available in the US. Apparently, you can't interchange between countries (likely for the import reasons), so when I get a song not available over there, I'll give it to her in exchange for a song not available here. I want the Movie 2000 soundtracks - try a music search here for Pokémon and you only get "Catch Me If You Can" (the first mini-movie intro music) and five other irrelevant tracks (and one of them is even explicit!). Oh, and that *does* mean we'll have to mess around with the DRM. XD
When I got home, I immediately entered the code on the Music Card onto the store, and I was able to create an account. Now I should wait for the Pokémon tracks to appear. =D
Oh, and if you've read Kylie's journal, you'll see that a the member trevor123321. He's been bugging me since Saturday to make him a moderator. I've said no, simply because he asked, and because he has a warning. After a bit of me jabbing at him, he said: "just make me a mod thats all im asking for if i was to ask every one on this website whould i be good mod i bet you almost every one would say yes ill stop pm you if just make me a mod".
I replied, "All the other members have no input at all in the decisions of the mods. And I say no. And I dare you to ask Kylie-chan, Bobby, Yuikito, Mihara, Arcanine and Lightning. Tell me what they say."
=== Subject: "Re: Tetsuya-san please", sent by trevor123321:
"ok ill beat you if one of those five people whants see me become a mod you have to mack me a mod
if no one whants me to become a mod ill stop asking you and every one else if i can become a mod
ok"
As if. The handpick of members I listed would say no straight away from him asking. And I listed six people, and he said he would ask "one of those five people". We don't need a mod who can't count.
So later, he bugs Kylie (see
kyliemuffin) about five to six times, ignoring the context of her PMs and a big giant "NO.". Even the big NO is ignored. X_x;
Apparently, he gave up on her and PMed another person - a member named charmander123. I check the profile, and the IP didn't match Trevor's. But the number of posts he had... was 0. How could this stupid member know Trevor, let alone try to agree? Good grief. Here's the PM that I was sent:
=== Subject: "Tetsuya-san", sent by charmander123:
hi Tetsuya-san i recived a pm from trevor123321 saying would you like to see me as a mod for RomHacking/Pokémon GB Emulation and im here to say yes i would like to see him become a mod for RomHacking/Pokémon GB Emulation i say
yes
=== Subject: "Re: Tetsuya-san", sent by Tetsuya-san:
I'm not listening to this bull.
=== New PM, Subject: "you have to make me a mod", sent by trevor123321
Tetsuya-san a deal is a deal now you have to make me mod be cause of charmander123 :P
Okay, wtf? Did I list this random member as a person who would be part of the deal? No, I listed six of the community forum leaders that I could remember off the top of my head. And charmander123 has no posts either, so why would I count him?
It only got worse.
=== Subject: "Tetsuya-san why", sent by trevor123321
Tetsuya-san why are you veiwing my profile and a deal is a deal.
Pfft, the deal was unfulfilled. I implicitly stated the six people he was to discuss this with. Instead he gets a random person to say yes.
So, I wrote up and warning (and since I had to go, I made Kylie issue it). He has two warnings now.
But what made me happy for the rest of the day is a city dinner we ended up having. Our whole family went to QV and ate at a place called Ecpot. The food they serve comes in an authentic Chinese design, and even serve some dishes in Clay Pots. I had a beautiful fried chicken fillets dish, with rice, tomato, cucumber, and at the bottom, my weakness: chilli. I threw some of it onto a plate, but then found capsicum at the bottom of the rice as well. I didn't know what was what, and I had a hotmouth - I ate the end of the chilli in the dish. X_x
I decided to go to the toilet, and Vincent was stalking me. He kept following me, so I ran around the area. Really tired, one of my cousins started following, chasing after me. I found a few hiding places where they couldn't find me - I'm pretty good at stealth. I was tired in the end, and when my mother told me to get them they claimed they "found me". Eh, I found them of course.
That's all for the day, really. o.o;
