So I recently found out that people put subs on the Japanese dub of Rwby. Kinda find that ironic.

Also, with everyone talking about detectives, justice, and law, I was selected for jury duty. Just got the mail a few hours ago. I'm not too exited. I mean, it's cool, but it's a hassle. I don't even know if I'm going to be on the official jury yet. They need to fill 12 seats, and I'm number 40-something. Chances of me getting in are slim.

@vespy89

We might be able to outrun if we move fast enough!

[NekoMizu]

@Cynder
Or we could fight back. (I'm a slow runner anyway)

[CrazyShadowy]

I heard something about running? When and where? I'm not the best but I can outrun that stuff!

[vespy89]

i doubt we can run that fast.

[CrazyShadowy]

Well, worth a shot right?

[BrokenPromise]

I'm wrapping Chritmas gift right now. gotta get a head start on Santa!

[NekoMizu]

@CrazyShadowy
Ah you're right, we can shoot them.

I just want to be a Private Investigator as I've had a knack and interest in solving mysteries and I share that analytical mind and the ability to read people. Attention to detail? Alright, maybe not so much which is a huge flaw for someone interested in that field, but at the end of the day, I'll take what I can get. As for the Government/Politics job, I'm interested in the system and have natural leadership qualities, so I'd be more than happy to fill the spot.

And fair enough for the Discord comments. I'll only bring it up in the PM thread, then!

Swimming is probably my other favorite sport (next to golf) since it's so relaxing. Bizarre question, but I'm quite rather interested in astrological signs (they're irrational and strange, I know), but would you happen to be a water sign (Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio)? Just curious because of your comment regarding a natural affinity for water, haha.

@Cynder

My attention to detail is one of those things that people mention a lot; honestly, nothing gets passed me. If there's the slightest difference between the feeling of two kinds of photocopy paper, I'll notice it (as an infant, I refused to draw on certain types of paper because I noticed it). If there's the tiniest contradiction or flaw - no matter small - in a person's argument or idea or plotline, I'll notice it. If there's the slightest hint that someone is lying or hiding something from me in their tone, body language, or behaviour, I'll notice it. I pretty much spoil stories for myself all the time because I pick up on the foreshadowing every single time, and notice little things most people usually won't think about. I read people to the point that I know why they're acting a certain way before they even realize why.

One of the reasons I can read people - to the point that I get called 'psychic' all the bloody time - is that attention to detail. I'm an extreme perfectionist too, which is why I never miss details and why I deconstruct and reconstruct my own ideas constantly to make sure I'm not missing anything. Pretty much the only thing that I can't read into is all the stupid internet language people use online -- I'm really not a fan of that sort of thing. This is why most of my misunderstandings and arguments are generated from people using memes, slang, or emojis (the other times it's when they disrespect me or offend my principles).

As for what you said about having natural leadership qualities, I went into detail in our PM thread about how I've got those too, despite how weird it is. 'Charisma' and leadership are something that people constantly attribute to me despite the fact that I'm an introverted nutcase. When all is said and done though, I'm a leader and never a follower.

On the subject of martial arts, I've got an aptitude for it mostly due to the same attention to detail and perfectionism I mentioned earlier, but thanks to my physical conditions I'll never be able to optimize that gift or really realize any of my potential. The best way to think of it is this -- I can pretty much forcibly give myself adrenaline rushes that most people only get under dire stress or desperation, pretty much on command.

The problem? Due to my physical encumbrances (I won't go into the conditions -- too busy), I actually have to do that in order to do basic everyday things that other people do normally. The strain that does to my body is probably killing me. So unless I found a martial art that was very good for fluidity and easy on the strain (I'm sure it exists -- it's probably an Asian martial art like Tai Chi), it wouldn't work for me, because I'd actually be severely hurting myself just training. Even doing small things like tying shoe-laces (there's a reason I wear Velcro shoes) or typing on a keyboard (like this) or playing a video game (ironic for someone who plays at such a high level) is extremely painful. So why am I typing all of this? Well, I guess I'm just soldiering the fuck on, aren't I? It's one of reasons I get pissed off when people don't appreciate the effort I put into giving them long replies though -- 'try walking in my shoes' is what I keep thinking.

As for the golf -- that's interesting. I don't actually have much experience with golf... Just a little bit of mini-golf here and there a couple of times. As for the swimming, I actually do a lot of my strengthening exercises underneath water. I'm not even joking -- I basically practical martial arts in the pool, and it works bloody wonders for me. One of my conditions that we think I have is fibromyalgia (fuck this is a nasty ailment) -- if you know what that is, it'll probably make more sense to you why those water exercises help me. I just wish I could get to the indoor pool more often, because I really hate sand and the beach doesn't work.

Am I a water sign? Scorpio here, and - yes - that's probably why I'm such an 'asshole' (who cares more about others than most people probably could imagine). Not that I actually follow astrology or anything, since I don't think I've ever read a horoscope that completely fit what was happening to me (I don't read them often anyway), but this webpage actually weirded me the hell out when I saw it about six years ago. Who the fuck was stalking me when they wrote that? I've looked over damn near every other date on that site now, and this is the only one that screamed 'me'. Is astrology irrational? Sure. Is astrology strange? Sure. Is that a coincidence? I don't really believe in coincidence, even though my idea of 'fate' is a bit unorthodox to say the least. Actually, I've mentioned I'm a Scorpio on my user bio. That link, by the way? I use it to decide my characters' birthdays, mostly because it fit me and @Ailyn Evensen so well. It's not a bizarre question -- I've been asked before when I mention I like water.

Also, with everyone talking about detectives, justice, and law, I was selected for jury duty. Just got the mail a few hours ago. I'm not too exited. I mean, it's cool, but it's a hassle. I don't even know if I'm going to be on the official jury yet. They need to fill 12 seats, and I'm number 40-something. Chances of me getting in are slim.

@BrokenPromise

I'm actually not on the jury duty list. Ailyn had to do it, and she hated it (had to mess with her sleep schedule too). According to mum, it was fun. I guess everyone takes to it differently, like most things. I guess you'll just need to wait and see if you end up being one of the twelve, but best of luck with that.

@vespy89
If you're bored, you've come to the right place -- nothing like hanging out with insane people to make things interesting.

@CrazyShadowy@Pudding@NekoMizu
Hey guys. I'm a bit too dizzy to keep track of the whole conversation, but wanted to say howdy.

[Ailyn Evensen]

I'm half excited for the christmas season. I mean, I've always liked how it felt for some reason, maybe because my best memories with my mom were during that time. At the same time, I'm a tad jaded by my job, and I hate how much freight we start getting around this time. I mean, seriously, who needs this many pairs of yoga pants from Lululemon in NOVEMBER. And is it just me, or did the cast of the Jersey Shore chose them as official wear or something because soooooooo much Lululemon and Tommy Bahama go to New Jersey right now! *ahem* Sorry, I digress.
Basically, work gets harder from this week onward, but I guess there's a reason you're considered a veteran with the company after you've survived your first peak season (this is my third peak!).

I'm also reminded of the year I went to visit Shoryu and spent Christmas and New Years with him. It was a really great month, I loved it a lot and every day I wish I could be back there. I hadn't felt so alive until then. The fact that I'm not there now bums me out.

But yeah, I know not everyone loves the Christmas season. But hey, at least we Americans don't get thrown into it completely until after Thanksgiving! In Australia, it seems the hype starts after halloween! xD

[NekoMizu]

[vespy89]

i'm a little insane myself lol

@Ailyn Evensen

We had Christmas decor out in august. Worst part is someone actually purchased it the day it went up.
