the longest thread, thread - Occasionally NSFW

Well it's over. me and my gf have officially broken up. I guess I should call her my ex-gf now. Oh well, it was a good relationship while it lasted but it's been pretty obvious to me, especially over the last week that it had gotten as far as it was ever going to get.

Some things just aren't meant to be. Though be glad you don't have the same luck as one of my friends, the last 3 or so girls he has dated turned out to be psycho bitches to one degree or another.

I played a lot of chess at one point, and got quite good - I used to regulalrly beat a chess program I had at several levels - but last time I tried to play, I just couldn't get my head around it - I think you need to keep the mental chess muscles toned, and I hadn't.

Hmm. I really haven't been able to grasp going more than 3 or 4 moves in advance which the computer seems to be an expert at. I can more or less grasp what the computer wants to do and am starting to come out with more victories because of it but I can't really get a plan to get the king until there is only a few peices left on the board.

I felt rather stupid in my last game too. I was trying so hard to get a check mate that I failed to notice as I moved my queen right in position to get jumped by a pawn and ended up losing.

I just read the thread and heard chess. In grade three, I was a little less then prodigy in chess. I was beating everyone, including the grade 8's. At the age of 8, I was arguably the best, if not one of the best players in a school of 8 grades. Now im super rusty.

The point at which I became really good at chess was when a guy I worked with started talking about the queen's pawn opening. He thought it was foolproof, I thought not, so we palyed a few games. Then I changed jobs, so we continued the debate by playing one move a day over the phone. This meant that for each move I made, I'd studied a whole day. There was ego, alpha-male, macho, boasting rights involved. A few months later I'd proved my point, and we stopped. After that, my game gradually weakened.

well, hello again.

[diddle]

Back for awhile. Hopefully.

[jonesthecurl]

good. I think there's enough going on to hold your interest.

[diddle]

Its all kinda over my head though! US politics have never interested me, being a UK student. I must admit though that I was suprised not to see any threads about the financial crisis. I thought that they would of plagued this forum.

Yes, I'm glad I have a good enough eye for people to know the potentially crazies.

This thread hasn't been updated in a while so I thought I would mention something impressive. I know a secret about someone on this site and I'd thought would tell you all what it is in a future post. So be on the lookout.

[jonesthecurl]

If its me, you have a wide choice...

[strike wolf]

No I know all your secrets but I wouldn't say them here.

[jonesthecurl]

...not unless you're psychic. I have a lot.

Anyhoo, another movie recommendation from me: Apaloosa. Bloody great. Seriously spellbinding, the art of movies at its very finest.

I would say I've seen three great movies since moving to the US - this, Bank Job, and Flushed Away.

[jonesthecurl]

My god, I just saw a sod-off big spider scuttle across the floor.

I mean, I'm a spider fan, but if this guy comes at me I'm running.

Only it looked like it could move faster than me.

UUurrrg!

It's OK it's climbing up the wall.

[jonesthecurl]

BTW don't mention this to the curlette. She's brave about spiders cos Dad likes 'em, but his one would freak her right out.

I am psychic. That's why I know when the world will end.

This maybe the most random thing that you've ever done.

I'm indifferent to spiders, except for that we have wolf spiders here. Those are nasty.

[strike wolf]

Wolf spiders are alright. It's the black widows that scare me.

[animorpherv1]

I don't care as long as they aren't poisonous.

[strike wolf]

Which is my basic point about black widows.

[pancakemix]

They're too big.

[strike wolf]

Wolf spiders are tiny compared to tarantulas.

[pancakemix]

We had a pet tarantula at our school. We wondered why it didn't have any hair on its back. Turns out they shoot their hair off in self defense.

But I digress. That tarantula wasn't that big. Especially not compared to the wolf spiders. maybe a little bigger.
