Five Reasons to love Linusx.
- If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.
- Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen an angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
- Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft. That will just be a completely unintentional side effect.
- I'm always right. This time I'm just even more right than usual.
- Talk is cheap. Show me the code.
The last one needs to be an icon.

Noa, you'll be attending MIT this coming fall on an academic scholarship. I'll be working, of course. Mokuba's been signed up for a nearby day school.
I purchased an apartment in Boston, and the three of us will live there unless Noa'd prefer to live in the dorms.
...Americans have the worst coffee in the world. I'll fly back to pick the two of you up, but apart from that, I'll be here for another week or so, finalizing the arrangments I've made.

1) Retrieve Noa.
2) Finalize visas.
3) Sharpen steel buttons on trenchcoat #6.
4) Inform the Institute that although I greatly enjoyed working with Defeb, I'll be moving countries this autumn and unless they don't mind the change of scenary, they will need to find a new trainer for him. ( Private. )

Noa: I've been investigating universities in America, England and Australia. I have a stack of brochures for you to look through when you have a free moment; I'm leaving them on your bed.
Yami: I'm switching your coverage plans for the cell phone. You've gone from 400 free minutes a month to 800.
Spell Check: I have a gift for you. Where are you?
Any sane person on campus: Leave while the term 'sane' still applies.

Infra-Red - Placebo |
] |
Yami and his brother are leaving for Egypt. Marik, Bakura and Diabound just returned from India. Varon is going to Australia.
...Noa and I have no plans for the summer. Our father was the principal of the school, but he didn't own it. We have no real claim to the science building that we're inhabiting, but the house in Domino is ours. Mokuba can stay there over the summer, but I need to talk with Noa about what we're going to do. With our father, there is no reason for us to remain at Domino University, especially as most of it is still demolished. Logically, we should apply to a different university, possibly out of Japan completely.
America would be the logical choice, as it would be easy for the Torvals Institute to recommend me for a job there. I could easily enter the job force with my current resume, and Noa should be able to qualify for a scholarship in any university, or start working as well if he'd prefer that. Mokuba, though, would need to come with us, and I'm not sure his English is good enough for him to adjust to such a complete immersion in a different culture. Father's life insurance was quite a nice lump sum, even subtracting funeral expenses which would have been much lower if they'd just let me sell his body to a hospital like I originally intended so paying for school for Mokuba wouldn't be a problem.
However, the best solution would be if I could start up my company during the summer and get it running. I have the base program ready, locked and I'm developing marketing ideas for it. I already have the lump sum needed to start it up, so I need to do is find a company that needs what I'm selling, and pitch the product to them.

Yami, I'm not interested in your streetwars setup. Keep me out of it.
And if Noa chooses to join and someone targets him, I'm warning the general student population that I will not be pleased if any water hits our electronics. Reflect on that before trying to attack him in our room.

Main Entry: crave 
Pronunciation: 'krAv
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): craved; crav·ing
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English crafian; akin to Old Norse krefja to crave, demand
transitive senses
1 : to ask for earnestly : BEG, DEMAND <crave a pardon for neglect>
2 a : to want greatly : NEED <craves drugs> b : to yearn for <crave a vanished youth>
intransitive senses : to have a strong or inward desire <craves after affection>
synonym see DESIRE
- crav·er noun
I could have looked up 'lust', but crave seemed more accurate.
( In other words, I'm in love. )

Dead Girls - Voltaire |
] |
I just had a 'speaker' from the 'necro club' knock on my door and ask for permission to dig up, exhume and defile my father's corpse. Which was buried in a small, private ceremony, Marik, thank you so much for caring.
When I refused, he (I'm assuming the speaker was male, the paper bag over his head didn't conceal the lack of breasts) asked me to sign a waiver that would donate my corpse to them. And then he spoke about several different painless ways of committing suicide that would leave my corpse intact. I brought up the issue of my asexuality, and his response was that when you're dead, they assume consent by default.
...Why do we even bother calling it Domino Uni instead of Domino Asylum?
He also gave me a copy of their theme song when I told him the conversation was over, since apparently it would convert me to the wonders of necro.
So far, I'm simply feeling mildly nauseous. In the interests of science, I'm sharing it with the rest of you - if listening to Dead Girls by Voltaire makes you consider necrophilia as an intriguing sexual practice, then I'd advise therapy. Or meeting the rest of the club at midnight outside the Kizoshi graveyard, tonight, and getting it out of your system.

An asexual is someone who does not experience sexual attraction. Unlike celibacy, which people choose, asexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are. Asexuality does not make our lives any worse or any better, we just face a different set of challenges than most sexual people. There is considerable diversity among the asexual community, each asexual person experiences things like relationships, attraction, and arousal somewhat differently.
The above definition was taken from AVEN.
Therefore, anyone spreading those rumors that Noa is experimenting with transvestism to get my attention? Desist. I'm equally disinterested in both genders.

My brother is not a child whore, or a transvestite prostitute.
We are both capable of reading your little electronic messages to each other. And I, at least, am not amused.
Consider this your warning to stop gossiping.

I'm alive. Noa's alive. Defeb's alive. Yami's alive.
Our room, and all our possessions, are fine.
I have yet to hear from our father, who will most likely be fired as this catastrophe happened under his reign.
Therefore, I think this is a good time to seriously consider those scholarships I was offered in America. As soon as I help Yami find his little brother and make sure Noa's fine, that is.

...I rolled -10 for social skills, didn't I?
I don't understand why Shaadi thought that it would be a good idea to turn Yami into my responsibility. True, Noa and myself are the least likely to actually exploit or harm Yami but at the same time, attempting to interact with Yami is difficult. Seeing as I don't usually talk to people at all unless forced to, it's ridiculous to expect me to know how to behave around someone so fragile.
I hope he's serious about writing up a guide on how to deal with him. Something like that would really be helpful. I've already inadvertantly managed to worsen the situation twice, and it's highly aggravating to keep backspacing my comments, then retyping them as if I'm talking to a wild animal. Or Defeb. It's very similiar to the first few meetings with Defeb where I had to get him used to me and taking orders from me except that it didn't matter what I said, only what I did, whereas now I need to watch my words.
I suppose it's a good thing I'm not overly talkative to begin with.
