Relations with The Gender of Your Preference
"The book" (http://www.amazon.com/Layguide-Seduce-Beautiful-Dreamed-Possible/dp/0806526025) will tell you to vaguely insult the girl and talk about something completely unrelated to her. I don't know if the first part works, so I'm going to go with the second.
Don't eagerly rush up to her, wait and see if you can bump into her in a more natural way. Then comment on something in your surroundings that might be common to both your interests. Like if you're in a bookstore, talk about the books in the section. Make it seem like you're there for the section and not for her. "Oh, sorry I'm looking for (such and such) author," maybe ask her if she's seen it while she was over here, or maybe ask her to move out of the way if she's near the book you're looking for.
Then you can maybe strike up a conversation about the author, the book, some other stuff. The goal here is to seem interesting and deep, and not just some desperate guy who compliments women he barely knows (and yes, I know, just because you're complimentary doesn't mean you're desperate, but in the unfathomable mysterious workings of the female mind, it tends to come off that way).
Yeah. But I can't say I've had much opportunity to just ask people on dates, because I'm a serial monogamist. The last time I hit on someone I didn't know was at a mutual friend's birthday party a little over 4 years ago. I asked him how he felt about this one anime, then blatantly asked him if he was gay. We dated for 2 years. Don't try that one at home, though, folks.

What was the worst course you have taken?
Took me a while to remember this one, probably because I buried the memories, but my second year of college, I took something called "Adapting Literature for Performance." One might think, as I did, that this class (required for my program) would be about reading short stories and adapting them into plays or screenplays.
This assumption is wrong.
We were forced to read poems and do interpretive dances to them. I don't know, maybe that's someone's bag, but you don't put a bunch of wannabe screenwriters in a room and tell them to make interpretive dances to poetry. A few of us tried just acting out the poems, thinking this would be acceptable, but no - our critique was always, unfailingly, "more dancing!"
There is more, especially in the regard that this teacher was incredibly racist and sexist, but mainly the problem was in the class itself. Our year complained so hard that we had the class removed from the list of required classes for the program.

What Do You Do?
Conservatory for screenwriting and playwriting. The "plan" is to write for soaps and move on from there (hopefully to end up at HBO or Sci Fi). The actual Plan is to bartend full time because bartenders get benefits and writers don't. :P
My little pipe dream is to write and draw my own comic books (would be published on Wowio, I'm not THAT much of a dreamer), but we'll see if that ever works out.

Someone tell me a way to keep my mind of things so I won't be such a baby in stressful situations.
I think that if anyone really knew that, humans would be much happier in general.
Basically, I just sort of go after people I like without reminding myself that I might be rejected. You have to play the game a little (a lot) if you're someone who's insecure and afraid of rejection, so you're at the point where the odds are in your favor. Does that make sense?
Also, something my mom always helped me with when I was a kid - she always used to ask me, what is the worst thing that could ACTUALLY happen. Seems like you imagine pretty stressful hypothetical situations, but when you get down to it, the most likely worst scenario is, as I said before, she says no and you're in the same position you're in now. It helps to take a deep breath and remind yourself that rocks won't fall, the sky won't open up and rain fire, and you'll pull through eventually no matter what goes down.
But I'm also not the most balanced person in the world, so take this with a grain of salt : ).
What is your mood today?
I'm feeling that residual stress after you've just completed a bunch of work but its being complete still hasn't quite settled in yet.

BRANDON, YOU ILLITERATE MORON, THE WORD VAGUE IS PRONOUNCED VAY-GUH AS IN RHYMES WITH PLAGUE, NOT VAG, AS IN BAG.

I think what he means is you're saying vag with the a as in bag, instead of with an a as in "AYYY" - the Fonz

Actually, no. My arms are wider than my height, which is supposed to be abnormal. Only by an inch or two, but still.
There is a typo in here somewhere... either that or you're very short/have arms that are at least 5 feet wide.
Which of the 7 deadly sins do you most relate with?
I am a giant glutton. I eat like there is no tomorrow. I love food a lot.
I'm also very lazy, but have improved on that point since high school. I can make myself go to the gym regularly and I generally complete all my homework.

Up until I was about 16, I was at a consistent 125 lbs, but then things went a little downhill.
When I was a kid, I was a Scottish Highland Dancer. I was actually pretty good - when I was 13, I got to the National championships (I didn't place, but I got there). After that, I played Volleyball, Softball, and Cricket. I was also a musical theater actor junkie, so I did some tap and ballet and jazz and modern when the need arose.
Once I hit college, however, my physical activities dropped off significantly. So now I'm getting back into Highland Dancing and hitting the gym roughly twice a week (I'd like to go more but it's all I have the time for). I try to balance cardio with weight training. My official regimen is 20 minutes of cardio, then 4 sets of 25 on all the leg machines, and 3 sets of 25 on both ab machines.
Sorry if that's too detailed. :P

Let's Play! Final Fantasy IV Edition! ALSO A GENERAL FINAL FANTASY DISCUSSION TOPIC
author=suzuricho link=topic=1303.msg48478#msg48478 date=1228210638
Final Fantasy died after IX as far as I'm concerned, even though I have enjoyed a few spinoffs like Ring of Fates. The main series just tanked after that. I played X, I played X-2. I liked X-2 more than X because the battles were more fun. X's gameplay shot itself in the balls, and I HATED the sphere grid... and I didn't really like XII whatsoever.
*shrug* And I liked VIII more than ALL OF THOSE!
Oh man, I'm surprised you liked X-2. My main quip about the whole thing was "WHEE PRETTY OUTFITS!" I mean, I like clothes as much as the next girl, but I take some issue with wardrobe changes being the major strategy in this game.
I played FFXI almost religiously. It was at the point where I had a real problem. I wasn't doing anything else. MMOs have that effect on me, which is why I refuse to ever play WoW.
Anyway, does anyone remember Mystic Quest? God I loved that game as a kid, and I have no idea why. >.>
