But she is really really really really bad at acting too. And I wanna punch her in the face everytime I see her. Is that bad? She brings out a need to exact violence. LOL!
I mean, seriously, SHE WON A FREAKING EMMY FROM TRUEBLOOD. HOW?! HOW?! *stabs self* -
Alright I think we've scared enough people today *cough*
Back to your business -

Quote:He has old-face though (if you've seen him outside of the makeupumm actually I think the "Bad Boy" Trend started back in the late forties, when the GI's Came back from the war. Just look at movies from the 50's.
Sorah I agree that Alex Skarsgard is a Super 'hotty' but personally I think Stephen Moyer is Hotter *swoon*)
And he's marrying Anna Paquinn. Clearly he's not that intelligent. And stupidity is not sexy in my book. LOL! -
Quote:I know you weren't hitting on me silly! LOL! I was speaking on a grand scale! Just saying that guys seem to count themselves out of the "race" with 20 year old chicks cause of some ******** social standard that never works out anyway. I mean, how many individuals who are in their 20s, who have been dating each other, actually work OUT? Yeah. that's what I thought.((Yes, I'm married with adult children, and am almost a whole year past the half-century mark. And I wasn't hitting on you, Sorah, hon. I think of you as an unofficial daughter and while you are indeed a bright and beautiful young woman, I'd feel like a perv if I thought about hitting on you.
(It's why I don't much like Hooters. Old guys hitting on high school girls is creepy to me.)
It's a strange standard that's only been around for a short period of time in human history. Women tend to socially mature quicker than men do, so it would only make sense that women would date guys older than them. 30 is my cut off point cause that's when guys have to start using their brains to actually feel attracted to a woman ROFL. I mean before that.... a pair of digital bewbs would get them going, ya know? XD
Quote:It's just that I read C.B. Ceblowsky's Wonderlost #2 last night and that, combined with your post, made me wonder if the twenty-something year-old guys out there appreciate the current dating trends. Women ask guys out now, and often make the first advances. That wasn't common back in the 70's. Boys were expected to pursue and girls were expected to flee. If a girl got caught too easily, then society had nasty things to say about her, but boys were "just being boys".
2) Guys these days (as in my generation) I would say DON'T appreciate the stronger feminism. Again, like I said, I scare most guys off. All through high school I was hit on a grand total of...twice? That's it. And I wasn't a bad looking girl in high school. But yeah, it was horribly impacting on my self esteem, I thought I had like body odor issues or SOMETHING. But I realized later, after going to NYC where I tend to think of people as being relatively freaking fearless, I was hit on walking down the street like 10598104980 times. So I realized it was just the caliber of people I was around and not any personal issues ROFL.
3) For me, I balance the "strong female" with the "coy female" and it's a very delicate game to play and a lot of people (women) fail at it or revert to one extreme or the other. I will still play the game of "not being an easy catch" even if I'm SUPER into someone, but I will then inform the individual what I am doing. Either they think I'm joking and it's funny, or they think I'm serious (which I am), and it'll open the door for a great discussion about social norms. If they can wow me with their brain, I'm golden!But seriously, there is a sick double standard out there that makes me really sad. I mean, I know I come off as being this happy go lucky gal who loves talking about sex and blah blah blah, but because of that some more prudish individuals think that just because I'm TALKING about it means that I am ******* around. Whereas with guys, the more they talk about, the more you know they AREN'T getting laid :S I dunno, I could go into a whole sociocultural-perspective thing on this, but I won't. Too much to do today haha.
Quote:Things are more honest today (or at least have the potential to be). You don't have to posture and pretend that you're not sexually active if you're a young woman. (Guys, however, are still pressured to exagerate their own level of experience, which is wrong too -- you'd think 40 Year Old Virgin would have made male sexual inexperience more acceptable.)
Chicks still have to posture into being virginal and pure, babe. I just happen to be part of a small group of chicks who just don't give a crap. Fortunately, I have happened to make a lot of female friends like me too! \o/
Quote:But I don't think the younger guys appreciate the situation. All I hear in modern rock songs are whiny boys complaining about how mean girls are. My advice to them: Grow up. Be nice. Put on deoderant and clean clothes. If your hair is long, keep it washed. If you keep your head shaved, smile more often so you don't look like a criminal. Smile more often anyway. (Smile when you say hello. And always smile sincere. If you can't find reason to smile, go see a therapist. Girls love it when guys flash a genuine smile.) Speak clearly. Open doors for ladies, even if it is old-fashioned. Don't expect sex after a date. Keep your house/car clean and tidy. Don't whine. If you're overweight, date overweight girls. They can be beautiful too. Or go on a diet. If you're ugly, be beautiful on the inside, and let that outshine your looks. Never let your expectations of others exceed what you're willing/able to give to them.
Anyway, I ramble. But, yeah. I am very happy with my wife and family. But if I was 25 years old right now, yeah, I think I'd be a happy camper then too.))
Quote:ooh, damnit now i have to edit in. But you know there has been a "bad boy" trend over the last 15-20 years that did some serious damage to manners.

Btw, kilroy....
I watch this as a "Ahhh good times" for SWG nostalgia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTYH6pBCxuI
It should help ya -
Quote:ROFLMAO! That's awesome! However, SWG RP was pretty freaking Epic. I mean...honestly....I knew a player over at LOTRO that did the same thing.
They had quit playing SWG some time before LOTRO launched. When LOTRO did launch all they did was talk about SWG and how it had captured her....and the rp was so awesome and all that.
Sure enough..she talked herself right back out of LOTRO and right back in to SWG.
She was in a PA of force witches...can't remember their in-game NPC names...but she was bragging and bragging about that PA and how ruthless and horrible they were and that how none of us on LOTRO would stand a chance in that RP.
I flat told her that I could infiltrate her PA and get right next to her if I wanted to. Naturally she scoffed.
I couldn't help myself. I activated my account again, waited some days and took my male Zabrak up there and waltzed right in to their FEMALE ONLY city.
Let's just say that the next few hours of RP WERE very, very strange, very, very intense, diabolical, past kinky and very domanatrix like...nothing I am in to by the way.
But in the end.....I was sitting right next to her in her bunker in the city...having tea or something when I looked over at her...smiled and said OOCLy..guess who I am :P
Oh, but the point of all this as I ramble on....is that game WAS immersion, it was addictive. It was kinda special.
/sigh
They had over 200 separate ACTED OUT emotes...but then multiply that by 3...because depending on what you were selected on, a single emote had 3 actions!It was soooo good.
And this, for me, as I was a dancer originally, made the game totally worth it and I wish they had this crap here in CoV instead of monkey dancing:

Crap was AWESOME! -
Quote:I loved that game. I quit CoH when I4 happened as a "SCREW YOU!" to Cryptic....they completely nerfed my mainimma guy, and not a particuarily fashion conscious guy...and I spent 1/2 my time farming wind so that I could buy cool looking clothes for SWG lol
the character generation of that game has no rival.
The only game where, like you said, you could be COMPLETELY unique when you walked in to a cantina.
Was on SWG for about 3 months...had a business that was actually making me money IRL...became a pretty recognizable roleplayer....
Eventually quit...cause it was taking over my life. I mean...I always played MMOs pretty intensely, but this thing was taking over my LIFE. Quit. Came back to CoH...got into CoV
I loved it. My Twi'lek was freaking awesome. UGH. Don't get me started.... -
Quote:Psh. How old are you Heroid? If you're over the age of 30 under the age of 50, I've totally dated guys your age LOL! However, aren't you married and stuff? I would think that that would hinder you more than your age(( *was born 25 years too soon to reap the benefits of the new feminism* ))
I learned my lesson with dating guys my age.
1) I scare them too much
2) I've got way too many life experiences (and har har, I'm not talking about between the sheets kind of experience either) that they generally feel inadequate or lesser than me :S
3) I'm not looking to babysit my boyfriend
4) Guys who are older generally know what they are doing with their lives, they have a career, and so I don't have to deal with that whole, "WTF am I going to do with myself" phase of ********.
5) Older guys, especially if childless, are more happy to have the kind of relationship I want - slight emotional attachment, crazy amounts of physicality, no talks of marriage and no promises of children!
Plus, I mean, come on...Robert Downey is 44? He is so freaking hot. Brad Pitt's also in his 40s...and yeah, there are non-celebrity guys who look like that at their age*swoon*
I'm 23, I wanna be treated like candy, damnit! -

Quote:CoX is WAY more comic-book than CO is, I think. I mean, unless you're going towards the "lumpy" John Byrne look. I know, I know, some people love his stuff, but look at the difference:((This is the main beef I have. It IS ugly. The colors are great, but the characters are ill-defined and murky looking, with or without the black lines around them. Also, the thing CoH did right was that they knew some of us would want spandex and hip-boots, while others would want tee-shirts and jeans. They made the costume designer so that you could do either, and do it well. The designers of CO seem to feel that comic book heroes should look goofy. The faces are goofy-looking. The costume pieces are goofy looking. I know they were going for a more "comic-book" look than CoH, but they missed the mark and came up with a "funny-book" look instead. That, combined with the crazy control issues and the way it all felt pointless and not superheroic, is enough to keep me from considering going back to try it again.
I did love the underwater zone though. And the volcano island. Both zones were beautiful. But my character uglied up the screen so much I just wanted him to get out of the way.))
Softer look...(Champions Online):
(Byrne...and Dickie, but I don't blame Dickie for this LOL)
Refined look...(CoX):
(Jim Lee)
I dunno, I like hard lines, I like to know the definitive planes of a figure. I think graphics wise, CoX has CO beat by a mile. And it's not the "colors" that differentiate these two pieces of art either. Cause even when Jim was working with the old coloring system, his stuff was still polished.
What CoX SHOULD do? Bring in the face editor they have (had?) in SWG. THAT thing was awesome. I could literally make a completely unique looking character with that. -

Xan showed me a screenie...
Dudes were ugly, chicks were fat. Not my cup of tea. ROFL I like my characters to be spanky. Sorry. I want superhero bods, and sexy faces. If I wanted to see ugly people I'd move back to Tampa, FL *ZING!*
*hugs her LA* YOU MAY BE PLASTIC BUT AT LEAST YOU ARE PRETTY AND DO NOT BURN MY EYES!!!!
Back to your business. -
My roommate told me last night that apparently, Alex Skarsgard (Eric in TrueBlood), got voted the sexiest/most favorite vampire of 2009 by a long shot. I'm just happy that at least he got more props than "Edward."
I was in Atlas Park last night, saw a Tru-Blood SG...I was completely amused. *facepalm*
The show is so god awful...but I'd watch Alex do anything...*swoon*
I'll be in my bunk. -
