CaNz

I know how to pick em! She isn't ...stupid, but she has had lots of problems... which is kinda sad because I feel like I am abandoning her... First off, she is a recovering heroin addict. She is six monthes clean, but that kinda problem is hard to shake. She got started from her boyfriend for 2 years, who also physically abused her. I kinda wish she wasn't so dead set about having casual relationships now because I am sure she could use someone who would treat her right... but thats just not going to happen if she just sleeps with guys she barely knows and then forgets about it.

I was kinda nervous at the time... but how it went: [size="5"]NOT GOOD[/size] okay, so it started out really strong, she was adorable and funny, and somehow i seemed likable, however via facebook and her afterwords i found out she is casually seeing another guy. She didn't have anything good to say about him, but I thought it said a bit about her. After that she sent revealing photos to me... I was just gonna be a causual fling to her, and thats just not good enough for me.

Well the game isn't so much about luck... its mostly about risk. The odds are always 50% so you may feel unlucky and pick keeping the money. The interesting part is where people draw the line. what amount of money would you risk winning nothing for.

Okay, so I heard about this game, where people get the chance to win money based on calling a coin flip. They have a 50% chance of guessing write if they choose to do it, however they are also given the chance of taking a portion of the money bet without going for the toss. An example would be, they have a chance of winning 50$ if they call the toss right... or they can just take 20$ this is going against probability to select the 20$ option, however some may choose in order to walk away with something. The more money there is often makes this number of people increase. A second example would be someone offering a chance to win 5,000$ if they call it right or let them walk away with 1,500{:content:}nbsp; might see more people take that offer, even though now you are taking 30% of the money when you still have a 50% chance of winning. I thought this was interesting enough, so I figure we can just have a "If I was in that position, what would I do" type thing... So my questions are: [center][u]WALK AWAY|TAKE IT ALL![/u] 0.60$|1.00$ 20$|50$ 200$|500$ 2,000$|5,000$ 1,500$|5,000$ 1,000$|5,000$ 10,000$ |100,000$ [left]for me: [/left] [u]WALK AWAY|TAKE IT ALL![/u] 0.60$|[u][b]1.00$[/b][/u] 20$|[u][b]50$[/b][/u] 200$|[u][b]500$[/b][/u] [u][b]2,000$[/b][/u]|5,000$ [u][b]1,500$|[/b][/u]5,000$ 1,000$|[u][b]5,000$[/b][/u] [u][b]10,000$ [/b][/u]|100,000$ [/center]

[font="Tahoma"]Felix carefully judged the situation[b] â??Calm down, Sekeiri, breathing is an involuntarily controlled function of the body, check her.â? [/b] Sekeiri placed a her open hand on Elenaâ??s chest for a few seconds, then stood up,[b] â??her pulse is erratic, but she is still breathing slightly. Whatâ??s going on?â?[/b] [b]â??[/b][/font][b]Jakobssen [/b][font="Tahoma"][b]controls more than merely illusions, he can manipulate what people perceive, implant thoughts. But when you felt an illusion back there I came up with a guess. Tell me Sekeiri, Sandy, did you see the car that caused Elena to swerve off the road?â??[/b] Sandy started,[b] â??No, but I wasnâ??t watching the road.â? [/b] Sekeiri followed, â??[b]Noâ?¦ but I figured it was another car based on how Elena was driving.. I think I got distracted sometime before we swerved,â?[/b] Felix nodded at the new information, [b]â??it doesnâ??t matter. If you were part of the illusion like Elena and I you would have seen the cars headlightsâ?¦ our friend Jacobson can only influence two people at a timeâ?¦ now put away your gun Sekeiriâ?¦ you're wasting bullets.â?[/b] With those words it seemed as though a veil was lifted, she could see the bullet hole where she fired, as well as a half a clip in an adjacent wall. The ground near Elana was also scorched, as if she sent out a directionless electrical current. [b] â??I thought my gun wasnâ??t working.â?[/b] Sekeiri checked the firearm and the clip, noticed everything was normal, then holstered it.[b] â??What happened here Sandy?â?[/b] [b] â??Elana just freaked out, she shot off her gun then used some of her craftâ?¦ I didnâ??t wanna get hurt so I stepped back, but then she just fell to the ground[/b]â? Sandyâ??s normal, defiant voice now was laced with worry. [b]â??how can we stop this guy?â? [/b] Felix looked to the right of the group, [b]â??we just need to get to him,â?[/b] he motioned for the staircase that would undoubtedly lead them to the perfect spot for a man to control the entire house, its roof. [/font][center][font="Tahoma"]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/font] [/center][font="Tahoma"]Sandy, Sekeiri, and Felix made it up to the top only to find a barren furniture deprived room. The hardwood floors and the off-white colored walls were blank, save for a few cracks and the splashes of what could only be blood. The three saw a figure standing outside of a balcony, facing the night sky. He turned around slowly to face them. [b]â??Hope, I presume,â?[/b] Jakobssen smiled lifting his hands in the air. Felix drew his gun and began running, [b]â??quick, close in on him! The orbo necklaces should stop the illusions if we get in range![/b]â? Sekeiri and then Sandy began to sprint forward. Jakobssen waved a palm at Felix [i][b]â?? BURNâ?[/b][/i] his raspy voice was amplified through his hand. Felix fell to his knees in pain. He could see his skin cracking, boiling... though nothing was really there. Sekeiri pushed forward dumping a few hastily shot bullets in Jakobssen's direction. Sandy stopped to check on Felix[b] â??Whatâ??s wrong?[/b]â? Sandyâ??s startled reaction to seeing the pain on Felixâ??s face shook some sense back into him. [b]â??Goâ?¦ get him!â?[/b] Felix managed, before pain overtook him once more. [/font] [font="Tahoma"]Sekeiri went down a few steps in front of them. [i][b]â?? FALL!â?[/b][/i] Jakobssen shouted, waving his second hand now. The ground seemed to have left her, all she could feel was the wind of her decent and the impending doom of when she would meet her end at the bottom. Jakobssen laughed as he manipulated the two, with just a flick of his hands, until he noticed Sandy standing before him, eyes glowing wild with fury. [/font]

[font="Tahoma"][b]â??Whats happening over in Betas Location.â? [/b] Xillian was trying to get a picture of what he was up against, [b]â??Same as Alpha?â?[/b] Lyons voice came trough the comlink. [b]â??yes sir, no response at all, probably dead or captured.â? [/b] Mord was starting to feel itâ?¦ these men were his responsibility.[b] â??We need to do something, I have a sense a disturbance in the force towards the middle of the coastline, I think that the Sith lord is thereâ?[/b] [b] â??Alright,â? [/b]Xillian acknowledged, [b]â??we will do the rest of the updates on foot Lyonâ?¦ so try to speak up.

Alright! I am very excited for my date today. We plan on going out for sushi in a town called Ashland (its the only good place to eat around here...and its like 45 minutes away... Yreka sucks) then heading back to spend the rest of the day around my house... I then plan on cooking Chicken Parmesan, spaghetti, and garlic bread... Perhaps a bottle of cab... should be nice. Also she will p'rolly end up kicking my rump at Marvel Vs Capcom sometime tonight, but I like the abuse.

[b][size="3"]What is it?[/size] [size="3"][size="2"]Funniest member: Sangome![/size] [/size][/b][b][size="3"]Why is she nifty?[/size] 'Cause she is always makes anything that happens in her life humorous. The only thing better is a Sangome reaction. You'll get a full expression (emoticon included for emphasis) and depending what the comment was a surprised response or more likely a witty comeback. She may not have a gimmicky, slapstick flare, but countless times I have been forced to madly chuckle. [/b][b] [/b][b][size="3"]What is it?

[b][size="3"]Why is it nifty?[/size] Because it was really close to actually finishing. With OB currently they move like a snail or die entirely. This one was so close to finishing.

[/b] [b][size="3"]Why is she nifty?[/size] [/b][b]I have frequently looked at most of the art posted on OB, and the person that showed the most creativity, originality, skill, and natural talent combined all point to her. the drawings posted show more depth and clear artistic ability than anyone I have ever met, and yet on top of all this she allows me to critique these works of art even though I couldn't make them half as nice looking. To me that is the mentality of a true artists...[/b] [b]to want to make what they have even better. [/b] [b][size="3"]What is it? [/size][/b][b]Writer of the year: Inuyasha Fandome[/b]! [b][size="3"]Why is he nifty?[/size] [/b][b]It is no mystery that the RPs on this forum have struggled. I originally came here to write, so this impacts me greatly. Though I don't care for his style at times, the one thing You can count on is him to be active, enthusiastic, and willing to go to any lengths to see a story succeed. I haven't seen any other member sign up for as many RPs, yet be pumped about each and every one of them. He deserves some respect, and OB wouldn't be the same without him.

[size="2"]It may be unfair cause I consider her a partner in crime for all the art projects involving banner and avatar sets, but I feel she has earned niftyness by her merits. Anyone who has talked with her must instantly realize that she is as sweet as physically possible (sugar, sweet and low, equal, and splenda mixed in honey) and humble to boot. She participates in almost every major topic on the boards, and has been a tremendously good friend for just one short year. I'd say she deserves a Nobel Peace prize, but if not that then the second best thing would be a spot on the Nifty Fifty[/size][/size][/b][b][size="3"][size="2"].[/size][/size][/b] [b][size="3"][size="2"] [b] [size="2"][sup][font="Arial Narrow"][font="Arial"]~Decided I was gonna just post it all at once... good luck to everyone! ~maybe not all of it....

Plus if anyone can swim in these waters and not get caught, they are a good fish.... errr octopus...squid...thingy... [/size][/size][/b]

[quote name='Lyndy' timestamp='1293860526' post='703527'] I think Cuddle Up Day and National Bird Day should be switched since my birthday is on the 5th [/quote] I am sure loads of people would love the day to be changed to Cuddle Up With Lyndy day.... instead the Cuddle Up day shares a holiday with Bean day... not a prime time for cuddling!

Now I am gonna make it my resolution to lose weight out of peer pressure. Maybe we can all get together and have an OB biggest loser thread! d:

Nothing has really happened yet, so there is no keeping that I know of, however I think people know why I would be willing to wait for four months till I wouild see her now... I already like the silly things she does way too much. [quote name='chibi-master' timestamp='1294050813' post='703591'] I will not be dating any time soon. I'm apparently too intimidating for anyone to even speak to me, much less start a relationship with. Also, if I brought home a girlfriend, my parents would slay me. Plus, about every bi or les girl in my school is either taken or not making themselves available, which is okay, I guess. *sulks* [/quote] Well that's all their loss... but whoever she is she would never be good enough for you and I would have to beat her up if she broke your heart... and that's kinda bad cause she would p'rolly be a minor and a girl.

I guess its not just me then... I mean.. its not like I can pick out one certain aspect of Californian women I dislike, but I seem to find people from other places that I do. also, she just texted me again at 2am telling me she is sorry she fell asleep... I really like this adorable woman.

[quote name='Sangome' timestamp='1294042023' post='703576'] [color="#9932cc"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]Good luck, CaNz. =D I've pretty much decided that I don't want to date anyone around where I live, especially not at my college. Just. fxusdsfuiosdufsiodfs [/font][/color] [/quote]Thanks! since I made it an OB matter I will tell you all how it goes, I will do my best so don't make fun of me if I fail okay! [quote name='Dragon Warrior' timestamp='1294043270' post='703577'] Either way, I date enough people around here... I'm just picky. [/quote] Probably the reason why I am so into this one is because I haven't met anyone who I like around were I live. I love southern California, but I don't think this is the best place for me to find girls I get along with. Everyone I have dated here has come from states outside California within the last three years... except for one... and she lives here in Yreka, where its much more like OR than CA. honestly this girl is the only one I have gotten to see in person who wasn't from CA in years.... so far as I know... It could be a completely invalid point... but its one of the patterns that I can see.

I got sick again too. Its probably a different cold over here I guess... I just hope it doesn't turn into strep. That was nooo fun. Also, I had Texted the plane girl from yesterday at about 1pm to around 11pm... she then texted me back at 1am to apologize for falling asleep (which i think is really adorable, but even more unnecessary) and tried to start up a quick conversation before passing out again. She wants to meet me here before I leave, 'cause it will be a while till she returns to San Diego... and I am p'rolly doing it. I mentioned how she loved my emulators on the plane... Well, she already has the Genesis and Gameboy emulators (pokemon included) on her phone! Impressive for not even knowing they existed before.... Oh yeah, and she is a cute girl and I am single... what do I really have to lose.

I agree with Vicky, however the eleventh also has a good holiday. Surprise puddle splashing is one of the finer joys in life.
