Yes, I did just quote Jonathan Coulton. I'm a nerd, get over it! XP (Also, I love that one of the fan pictures on the JoCo website attached to this song is a fan with Benoît Mandelbrot holding a signed copy of the lyrics!)

Speaking of math, I -- I did it. Oh my god. I did it.

YAY CONGRATS ON YOUR GRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is such a rewarding feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just think, you'll be with Adam soon enough! Hang in there bb.

RUDE OF YOU TO FORGET MY BB SCORING A GOAL.

:D :D :D It is craaaaaaaaazy rewarding. I can't even.



XP Everyone remembers the goals and no one remembers the assists. Pfffffffft. But seriously, it was glorious. I wish you were there with me so we could have been shaking and crying together. OUR BOOOOOOOOOYS.

Aww! I've been online when I could, I don't know why you can't see me. Very odd.

Jealous you have his jersey, uuuuuuugh. I can only afford nameless kits. One day I'll own a Lahm CL kit. ONE FRICKING DAY. And one day maybe I'll have a Pokemon with him as Original Trainer, because that is a true keepsake. ;)

bahhhh Katrina!! (I hope you don't mind me calling you that, hahah) I'm so happy for you!!! You're probably just the kind of person who does really well under pressure, nbd. But seriously, I'm so happy for you, if you could just see me right now.

With what your grades are now, I'm sure you will be back in NYC in no time! Everything will be alright. :)

DID YOU FINISH READING THE SACRIFICE?? oh man, I didn't even play the first game, but I just bawled. Billlllll ♥ I'm so glad Steam had a sale for it, except I can't play it on this shit computer, boohoo.

XD I guess it's alright. Real Life friends call me Kawa (after my original fandom nickname), partially because I dislike Kat or Trina as nicknames, though folks call me by my ~real name~ as well now and then. ;)

I just - I don't know. I shut down everything and hunkered down because there was so much at stake. Also, I completely let my social life fall to the wayside, which has sort of bit me in the ass. And without Adam it has been so lonely, I can't even express it. But I have you guys? *falls over*

OH MY GOD I DID. I'M SO TORN. I'm so happy the three are safe, but how heartbreaking for Bill! And the rest of them definitely sailed off with a heavy heart, sigh. And I'm not completely sure the degree to which it's a happy ending - they survived, but will they cope/be happy so isolated? Will other carriers have thought of the same idea? Will they be lonely? Compounded with how things end for the L4D2 survivors (they get picked up by the military as New Orleans is bombed to smithereens) I just - augh. *sad face*

then I shall call you Kawa??? idk, I'm only asking because I feel like calling internet friends by their names is something really personal and I don't want to offend you!

of course you have us! but I'm sure your friends will understand, because this is something really important to you.

IKR??? how could they just leave us hanging like that?! but I feel like that ending was one best suited for. I don't ever want closure because it's just so fun to interpret it however you please. I mean, how long can they even stay on the island before they start going crazy from boredom or run out of supplies. I'm sure they will be able to inhabit the island for a while, I can just imagine a Lord of the Flies situation.

Kawa is perfect. :D

They do get it, but it's hard not to drift, you know? But it's alright, there are ~bigger things.

I think Valve is incapable of giving us full closure; look at what's happened to the Half-Life franchise, and that's the one with the most plot of anyone!

(I wanted to offer up a celebrating Lahm icon, but I found I have no Lahm icons…I feel like I've failed you.)

And yes, you have failed the co-captain of the Napolelahm Army. Get on that, you! ;) (Seriously though, your icons are totally up to you~.)

Good job on those grades! You are amazing and I am so impressed. :D

I'm sorry you are feeling homesick girlie. It really sucks to be separated like that but I am sure that you are strong enough to handle it. ♥

fandomonymous October 14 2010, 17:12:19 UTC
Thank you so much!

♥ It is really rough, because I don't have the connection to Nerd Society that I used to have, and other than that I don't really have any truly close connections here. I've had lots of moments lately where I want to go exploring but don't want to go alone; it was something we used to do together. But Thanksgiving's in a month, and he'll be coming down, which I am seriously looking forward to!
