Heh, that calendar looks pretty funky.

Of course! It doesn't help that I've got a cold now, though.

I'm definitely glad I don't have to deal with being on the phone.

It's been going alright. I've been through a couple jobs since I'd last chatted with you, currently working for the IT department of a call center.

In fact, I think this Buoysel and that Buoysel are one and the same. Do you think this Twiggy and that Twiggy are one and the same, too?

I'm feeling lucky.

Nah, I think it's way more than "possible" at this point.

Hmm, I think I know you.

Happy 24th!

Eh, I suppose if you account for inflation. Perhaps. Maybe.

My personal ideals and views aside, yes. I think it would at the very least make it easier to move up in an organization.

Oh, you're still working toward your bachelor's. I failed to notice that part of your post. I have a bachelor's degree, and I don't make anywhere near the low end of your estimate. My mom's a pharmacist working full time and she doesn't make anywhere near the high end. Divide both numbers by two and then you're looking at something more realistic.

If you think you'll get a sense of accomplishment out of it, go for it.

Heh, heh, heh... oh, I would have done that long ago if I could have. I am a sysadmin, yes, but I'm also a contractor. I'm not paid to do things right, I'm paid to do what I'm told to do. Thank God I'm working with people who know the right way to do things so I at least have an idea of how a functional environment is set up.

I'm a systems administrator too, specifically windows. The environment isn't conducive to it, to be honest... you have no idea how much easier the lives of all of those I work with would be if we could simply have the ability to use powershell remoting to manage remote servers, but nooooooo. That's apparently too much to ask for.

As for going back to school... if you want my honest opinion, save yourself the time and money. Instead of breaking your back for a little piece of paper, dedicate your effort to the job you have and prove yourself there.

Congratulations on the promotion; I can't say I have any such bragging rights, but I'm simple (minded) and am perfectly content being on the bottom rung of the ladder. The way I see it, the less money you make, the more likely you are to be kept when it comes time to fire people.

It goes decently. Looks like it's been over a year since we last spoke. Oh, how the times change. I have a job now, and will have been there exactly one year tomorrow. I got my college loan paid off and got a new computer, and still have a bit of money left over. How are things on your end?

Programming and website development for the university.

I've got one at the moment.

Hopefully a little over one more semester.

It's going alright. I've been gradually making my way through college. Also, happy early 23rd!

Happy 22nd!

Good luck! I wonder how many bronies are around Las Vegas.

Ah, you mean instantaneous bandwidth. 5 Mbps should be absolutely fine. I highly suggest finding an actual host soon, though. Running a website is often in the gray area of ISPs' terms and not allowed at a certain point.

How many are active? If it's only a forum, you don't set your avatar and attachment limits extremely high, and the pages themselves are relatively small (no 500 KB banner), you shouldn't use more than a gig per month, maybe not even more than 100 MB.

Ohai there, Buoysel. Allow me to be that random awkward person that you don't know come randomly posting here. I've looked at your art, though it is all a year old by now. And I'm just... wow... amazed. What on earth do you use to color/draw/etc. them if I may ask? And do you use a Tablet to draw/color them? I fail at coloring and shading... so I'm just a curious admirer. Anyways, I'm sure your current life is busy but it'd be awesome to see more doodles from you sometime!

Yep! ^^ *high hooves*

Er, one of the proper e-mails.

I did get one of them at 2:30 (your time).

Oh! Another Kansan! I live reallly close to the "Legends" but that's all I'm going to say. =w=

Alright. I'd prefer to do it sometime without the others, though. While I have nothing against bronies, it would be rather awkward to try and partake in discussion of something I don't have any interest in.

I live a little closer to Overland Park. Remember when we went to Oak Park Mall? I live in that general area.

And no, I am not. Sorry dude.

Alrighty. I'll keep an eye out.

The last one I got was dated August 07, 2012 6:12 PM PDT.

'course I still live in Kansas City. My soul is bound here. Where would you want to meet at?

Client Support, huh? My mom and aunt think I would do an incredible job with that (I once helped my aunt find a word processor on her computer and she thought it was the greatest thing ever), and I agree with them, with a caveat--while I'm good at explaining things in terms so easy to understand that little kids can know what I'm talking about, I have a bit of a phobia of speaking over the phone, but I could probably get over that in time.

Hi Buoy. You've got a job now. Wow. That... really helps my self-esteem. I've been out of college for almost a year and I don't have a job. I want one, but I'm just so awkward and lack confidence and ugh... it bites. It's good you've got one, though. I'd feel lucky getting just about anything at this point, really. v-v

Thanks Buoy! Yeah, it's been a really long time, hasn't it?

Happy 21st!

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!

Oh wow. I've learned not to trust those, as they tend to be too high, but I have heard reports that a forum database with several hundred thousand posts can be worth quite a lot. Don't worry, though, I have absolutely no plans to sell it anytime soon.

Thanks for reminding me.

Still, I'm staying away from social networks. I just don't like them.

No thanks. It'll just be another Facebook, and, well: this.

Graduation. It seems like just yesterday I was starting high school... time flies.

Pretty well. I'm starting my last semester of college on Sunday... Not exactly looking forward to it.

*squeak*

3"?! Jeez, man. Good thing you're still safe!

That's from the hail, right? I saw some of it in Tennessee almost two weeks ago.

Dang, that was a nice car, too... It looks like it's mostly window damage, though. You might be able to pull out the dents with a plunger... maybe? I don't know much about cars. Just throwing out ideas x3

x3 Thanks again!

Thanks Bui! :3

Reminds me of what a cat does sometimes. I think our dogs do that after their baths too.

Nah, it was just a fleeting thought.

*squeak*

So do I, but we don't live in a perfect world.

I know it's yours. I've seen that ad on 7 as well. They really should've updated it.

Yeah, I've seen that a few times before.

Aww *hugs again*

True :3. But I need someone I can visit.

I was thinking of writing a game design document, but I need a buddy with extensive programming knowledge. Someone who will enjoy the project, not just the money that may come once the game is established.

I would prefer someone with Asperger's, like myself. I was thinking of two games. One being a stealth game, and the other being a MMO game with single player support. Both games will have anthro characters :3

That's nice to do, but it won't help me accomplish anything. I'm stuck in my house with no friends to visit. Mom isn't exactly the best person to talk to sometimes.

I'm going through cabin fever right now.

What's wrong?

How are you? :3

*pulls Buoy up and gives him a hug*

*chuckles and reaches Buoy, then poke him on the nose*

Hi Bui :3.

*continues* I see you!

*chases Buoy*

*pokes Buoy again*

Hehe. *pokes again atop Buoy*

*giggles and glomps*

*pokes on the nose*

*pokes back*

Awesome

I already get 54Mbps. It serves me well enough. However, having 128 would ease the load on the network as a whole and prevent my internet from dropping from time to time. I guess that'd be useful.

So basically, ultra-fast Interwebz?

For what am I to be having the excitements?

Nice

One down is better than none.

Well, I'm glad you passed

>w>
<w<
:3

Nice. XD

I need to go check my license plate still. >_>

Courage the Cowardly Dog reference. I like it. The only thing I do around town is the Pokemon League at Game Cafe in my hometown.

*chuckles* Buoysel drives an Axew.

Hello. I can't help but notice that you live in the KC area. So do I, albeit on the Missouri side. It appears as if GreenLiquid and A'bom do too. (I have a thing with reading VMs. I don't intend to stalk when I do so.) The actual city I live in is Independence, MO.

Haha, good job.

Well, I do know a place in town that I passed by all the time called Tree Co. Just take a guess what happened next.

Hm... 24th... Thursday... around lunch... I don't THINK I'll be doing anything. I'll keep it in mind as the date draws closer. I should know by Monday of next week. There's a good chance I will be free.

Almost 34 hours, but not quite. I think I had like 60 hours on my Black. I remember my last run through the first Paper Mario was 23:59, a minute shy of a day.

It was, but it stopped and now all the snow is melting.

Hehe, still have been too lazy to go outside...

Haha, that's awesome. (I forgot my own plate, so I'll check it out next time I go to the car.)

And Yoshi's sister saw someone who had a plate that said "POKEMON" on it.

I want to learn names slowly.

I want to slowly learn things. Too much at once will make me go "lolwut?"
