Awesome, dude, how do you do that?

│┐├┴╚╝╬╦ etc + patience.

 

[JohannaK]

But how do you THESE in the first place?

 

[Takhisis]

Insert symbol, check da unicodez.

 

[Borachio]

Just go for the character map. Select what you want, and copy to the editor. Coding is for real number heads.

 

[JohannaK]

How do you do that?

In SimCopter, I entered level 8, and cobbled together enough money to buy may favorite chopper. (Which left me with only $700.) After doing so, I thought about whether I wanted to take a break from the game. I was on the edge.

"Hmm. Well, I guess I'll play it a little more, just to enjoy this copter. And anyway, a fire mission just came up, so I might as well finish that, then save my progress and take a break." I then proceeded to the site of the mission. And I drove my brand new helicopter STRAIGHT. INTO. THE. FIRE. *Awful grinding noise followed by explosion*

......

*sigh*

My cousin is trying really hard to get my hair cut, and may be successful as of tomorrow. This is a HUGE deal for me, because I've always had longass hair since I was about 10 years old, and almost everyone I know has only known me (or only remembers me) with long hair. I went to a very conservative and religious school in England, where the rules said that guys had to have short hair - While my hair there never qualified as being short, it was shorter than I liked it to be, even with me trying to get away with it being as long as possible. Since the start of this year (when they realized that I was going to leave the school in May/June to go to Brasil, and thus stopped worrying about cutting the hair - But for some reason made me shave and keep my hair in a ponytail), I've grown it as much as possible, and it reaches down to the middle of my torso - on the same level as the third-from-last (going from top to bottom) rib. When I was made to cut my hair (because of the school), I always looked terrible, but now my hair looks a LOT better, and I don't want to remove it all in one go - There wouldn't be this much hair shed from my head since August 2007. In the meantime, I'll try to convince my cousin to curl it (which gives the illusion of shortness), but it will be difficult. If I were President of the United States, cutting my hair would be on the news all over the world. I feel like this may be the last goodbye to a shoulder full of hair that I don't want to leave.

I don't understand why you just don't?

 

[shadowplay]

WIM, the long hair suits you perfectly, IMO. If you like it, don't give into pressure to get it cut.

I really don't like it when people who need help refuse it because they're too stuck up with their pride. It's a problem I have but once I rationally think about the situation, I understand that I need to accept help if I wish to actually alleviate the stress that life is bringing me. But there are people who just... Blatantly refuse and remain adamant in that.

Really bothers me.

 

[Tee Kay]

I dated someone like that.

 

[Glassfan]

I don't like to accept help, but if it was for my family, I'd be willing to swallow my pride. For me personally, I'd rather do without.

Another thing, I hate standing in line. I think it goes back to my stint in the Marines, where we were forced to stand in line for everything. Nowadays, if there's more than two ahead of me, I leave. Thank God for online shopping.

 

[bhsup]

Awesome, dude, how do you do that?

Are you talking about WIM, ore someone in your life?

If the former, then...
It really bothers me when people blatantly refuse to stay out of other people's business.

If the latter, then...
The same rant, really.

So I'm two hours from flying home from holidays and all has gone swimmingly, and then a few minutes ago I hear this loud bang and glass shattering. I go outside to check it out and there's my motorbike, fallen over, side mirror and tail light smashed and body damage. I'd put the stand down in a muddy bit and it rained and washed the mud away.

So now I have to face the bike hire guy who will be here in ten minutes to collect it.
