Imponderables: What I Got by nvghostrider

Yay! There's an updated image today. Most definitely a rune from Diablo 2 can be seen. The rune is an item that you can find in the game. There's also a couple images that are sort of hidden but look like they're going to form a bigger picture at some point. They're numbered 04 and 15 right now. 4th letter of the alphabet is D and 15th is O. Those two letters are in the word Diablo :-) Also the rune that appeared today is the 15th level rune in Diablo 2. These guys are laying out a trail of bread crumbs and so far I'm sorta liking where it's going. :-)

And now on to my ponder. I feel like I already know what you guys will say but here goes anyway. There's a friend of a friend who I'd go for in an instant if she ever lived anywhere near me. Anyway friend got me to email her to ask if she'd be around for an event we're going to and if she'd like me to get her a ticket to join us. She won't be but now she's all "so how's stuff?". @*#& I was not trying to start a conversation. Obviously I have to respond but I could write an email that just sorta ends or I could write one that is looking for yet another response. Should I be wasting my time playing pen pals or should I just try to put an end to it?

Tis a Pretty Marker NVG! (is jealous because of his lack of play)

Howdy howdy Imponderables! been A while since I walked through these parts! How goes things?

Zeek - Your ponderable had my head spinning for a few reads (after the 3rd time I followed it). Kinda a hard to form an unbiased opinion cuz it sounds like you have already decided that it is not worth it. I would say that the main factor woud be how much of a distance is involved? A couple hour drive? Might be worth it if that is the case. I dated a girl for 2 years while in the Army that lived 4+ hours away and I would drive to visit every weekend for the most part. Was a good relationship. No troubles besides me being stupid in the end, but that is another story!

I say go for it. Otherwise you will always question what the true outcome would have been.

400ish miles according to a rough google maps estimate. Almost 7 hour drive. Seems like the weekend would be really short if I was driving for 7 hours there and 7 hours back each time. Plus with the price of gas that would get to be pretty expensive.

Though you are right about that always thinking what if stuff. My brain already does that hehe.

That is my Smart Parts SP1. Incredible marker at an incredible price. ($149USD) It is a select fire electropnuematic marker that shoots 11 ball per second. There are two others in the picture. Can you find them?

Here's the hell bitch:

Smart Parts SP8 (Still unnamed). WIth only a few modifications it is pretty close to stock. One upgrade was the increase from 17 balls per second to an easy 26 balls per second with no hiccups. With a faster loader it can run unlimited (which actually tops out at 33/34 balls per second as the balls will actually touch eachother from being fired so fast).

Okay, as for the distance ponder. If she is worth thinking about Zeek than she is probably worth trying out. Weekends are a good way to get to know someone. No amount of smothering can happen until the next time y'all get together. It helps to ease into anything more serious later. Think of the occasional weekends as fun time without too much pressure.

ADD: FLT- As with my old Tippmann 98 having the tank attached and low is a lot like having a wide stock. On the 98 I put a slide on cap on the tank and I swear it felt exactly like the old M2 Thompson. I've switched to high pressure air in the smaller marhers and still use CO2 in the big ones as they use a ton of gas and CO2 is cheap.

Even though I R MisQuoted here.......(or to be exact... credit given elswhere)

Actually they are not bad. For thr most part they work pretty well as a stock. They also make units that have a hose and the canister is belted on to your person somewhere.

Zeek - 7 hours might be pushing it, but then again.... who knows maybe some day the drive will end up being 1 way.....

Once or twice just to see what if still might be worth it.

NV 'cause he's the sweetest ever ( and he doesn't get too peeved when I smother him...)

HUGS Kelkhil how is everything?

Morning FLT- and the tank is strapped into the back of the vest( which in a side note I should mention weighs a considerable amount)

I do so love that NV is the player most feared by the opponents...sneaky, great strategist, and a good shot...triple threat

You aren't going to earn your honorary guy status with comments like that. What guy would take "let's just be friends" as a good thing?

And Blizzard is still being a huge tease! Now they added an icon from another one of their games to their teaser image. So, basically they're just teasing us that something is going to be announced but they aren't giving away any real hints about what. I still say it's Diablo 3 though. Come on Saturday get here already.

Such an optimist. I'm not going to get too worked up about it. Though speaking of work if this does turn into too much of a back and forth I'm going to have to ween her off of my work email address.

So, what are everybody's plans for the 4th? Anything awesome planned?

Tis a tough imponderable there, I've gotta say that, if you're interested, you may as well go for it, and maybe you can upend gas prices by ordering airplane tickets months and months in advance on some of them special deals. I dunno.

In other news.... that whole me-going-to-comic-con thing.... I'm pretty gorram excited now, because despite not being listed on the Comic Con site (yet), on the Doctorhorrible.net site, they say that Joss and his brothers and Nathan and the other actors on Dr Horrible are going to be doing... a panel... at comic con. So, I was unawares of this, but... now I'm excited. Not gonna lie. Tis exciting. Woo.

And... in lieu of books I sometimes read my women's studies textbook if i'm bored. Meh, I likes it. And as for "what guy would say that"... well, I would, I think men n' women should totally be friends, in addition/regardless of everyone's relationship status. Take that, "When Harry Met Sally!"

I really can't see it going anywhere. I'm risk averse. I doubt I'd buy plane tickets months and months in advance for a long distance thing with someone I've never even gone on a date with. Plus no response yet. Email is such a lame form of communication.

Cool on the comic con thing. I so want to see Joss in person some day. The man is just incredible. A while back I thought about how good Joss is at giving speeches and rallying crowds and I realized that this is the power they were saying Hitler had. My conclusion is that Joss was created as the anti-Hitler. He's using his powers for good.

Also I do have female friends. I don't have any problem with female friends. I just don't have female friends that I'm interested in. That would not work well for me. If I'm interested then I don't want to end up just being a friend.

Ok here's a ponder.

Just had a great job interview for a teaching position. Not really a position I am crazy about , but I really liked the faculty and REALLY liked the principal. They still haven't gotten the ok to open the positions at my current job so I have no contract.... so should I take the job I am pretty sure the high school is going to offer, or should I stall in the hopes that they can give me a job here???
