21 June 09Hi there, last two weeks were rather busy, I have been looking for a new flat, there was for some reason one extra dance class scheduled with the three I already take each week. Being the docile little dancer I am, I just took that extra class without asking
On top of that I was asked to give dance classes to beginners because apparently there is this instant shortage of teachers. I would have said no to giving dance classes if I would have had to give them to adults. But I was asked to give classes to kids
And why would someone like me give away the chance to take out my anger and frustration on little helpless beings? This is an excellent way of making them pay for existing and annoying the hell out of me
Here are some nice examples of my frustration and my cure for it:
- Having the nerve to play outside on a Sunday morning at 11:30 AM, having fun and laughing. While I try to sleep
20 Sit ups - Being annoying while I shop for groceries
20 Push ups. - Crying and screaming in a restaurant while I have dinner with friends
10 Push ups. - Running around on public transportation
10 Push ups - Pwning me on HALO and trashtalking to me
Another 20 of both.
Yeah, cry and scream for your mommy all you want. There is nothing she can do for you in my class 
My dear reader don’t think I made them do ordinary push ups and sit ups, hell no
These kids want to become dancers, so they have to do those push up and sit ups in the most grueling ways possible
For example during sit ups, while they go up they have to move both their arms and legs in a certain way, while they go down they again have to move both their arms and legs in a certain way. Plus they have to breathe correctly and they aren’t supposed to lose their balance while doing this
Same sort of thing applies to the push ups.
Don’t give me the “But Rampancy it surely wasn’t these kids who did that all those horrible things to you” , because I don’t give a fuck. The simple fact that kids are annoying stands and they need to be punished for that
I think Liz Becton would have been proud of me, if she saw how I executed the classes 
On the gaming front there was a nice surprise, the dudes from my former clan have started a forum
Even though the clan died, the online “friendship” between all of us didn’t die. We tried to stay in touch but it wasn’t always that easy, so now almost two years later one of the dudes decided to start a forum. Which I think is a brilliant way to stay in touch
I obviously did not sign up for the forum quick enough because two days after the first message that the forum was up was sent, I received this message:
(Cliccie for larger piccie)
I was planning to sign up, even though these guys can’t tip to Gabriel, when it comes to fun during online gaming I did have lots of fun with them for years. And even after the clan died, when they would “see” me play another game than HALO they would make sure that it was really me who was playing (someone once seriously thought my account got hacked
) and that I was all right and not suffering from some dangerously high fever. Or they would leave messages like this.
Cliccie on the above file to play the message, make sure you turn up the volume.
Anyway when I registered and wrote on the forums I was “back”, I got such warm responses
! Here are a couple of them
“Zomg ya mad thing, great to see ya , hope to talk and play with ya soon!”
“Hello you sex fueled crazy woman”
“The people wanted you and now we have you… not sure it was wise but you’re here now……..”
“*Quickly exits forum*”
” “business is about to pick up”
-dives out the window-”
BTW, yesterday it was dairmuid’s birthday
make sure to wish her a happy birthday on twitter or here. If you must know
I think she is 70 years old now

14 June 09There is so much to write, but I don’t know what to choose to write about 
Anyway I’m going to spend tonight installing the latest version of EEEbuntu, I am dreading it and I have been avoiding doing it for a while
I have to make a bootable USB stick first, I’ve done it before but still I am not looking forward to this. It suprises me how people see me as a geek
While I consider myself anything but a geek the fact that I seem to know my way around Linux doesn’t mean I feel comfortable doing it. Linux is one hell of a scary experience for me
yes that even includes using the god knows what kind of “buntu”. Don’t come with the “But you even had Debian running for a while and you blogged about it”. If you read that blog properly you would have known I was scared as hell – even leaving some screens up on my computer all the time, because I did not know what kind of evil clicking on “Accept” or “Cancel” would bring me. Making it impossible for me to use my pc for days
until due to some magic it restarted itself. Wasn’t Linux supposed to make life easier
Let’s end up with a happy thought, it seems that whoever was in charge of developing the EEEbuntu logo listened to my criticism about the former EEEbuntu logo ![]()
It now looks like an anal buttplug for beginners 
Well, I’m off to create a bootable USB stick, wish me luck 
Edit:
I fucking failed at creating an useable bootable USB stick
despite going down the dark cave called Terminal. Off to bed now

7 June 09Today is the se7enth day of June
! Peepz, last night I started a new BLOG called Guilty Gamer
you can read here about this new blog. Don’t give me the “What – another BLOG?!!!”, okay?This BLOG remains my number 1 BLOG
GG won’t be updated as much. In case you’re wondering, yes I love collecting and categorizing stuff. You know, as a child I wanted to become a librarian
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that I am a neat person
this is what my desk (at home
) looks like when I don’t clean it up for 3 weeks.

Did HALO:Reach come as a suprise to you?
4 June 09Someone asked me this over XBOX Live, the answer is No
On May 30th 2009 Bungie accidentally put op two forums, HALO:ODST and HALO:Reach. They were hastily removed that day, unfortunately for Bungie those forums were already noticed
So I knew something was coming on E3 2009, but I didn’t expect it to be a game. I was thinking that HALO:Reach might be something like the video featurette which was included on the HALO 2 Map Pack DVD called “Another day at the beach”.
(I love how the “noob combo” is being used in this vid. Ah those HALO 2 days, how I miss them, when people would go insane after I’ve killed them with the “noob combo”
)
But it would be a bit longer and might come with some graphic novels produced by Bungie itself instead of Marvel. I was also expecting that there would go deeper into the workings of the Forerunner crystal in the vid and maybe graphic novel. I am mentioning the Foreruner crystal in particular because it is able to bend time and space. With the HALO 3 Legendary ending in mind, where the Master Chief is heading to a “unknown” planet those crystals bring some interesting food for thought to the table
