  1. People won't be totally devoted to something unless they're extreme fans of your work or you pay them for it. Volunteer help most likely fails because of either of those two factors. It's nice when it happens and works out but it more than often doesn't, something I am sure you have some experience with.

  2. Yeah, fanfictions can range from terrible to tolerable. Think it's bad reading the official Harry Potter books? Check out some Harry Potter fanfics.

  3. Just to add my 2 cents into this discussion...

     

    Regardless what you drink (except maybe a pint in the pub at the end of the day), make you sure you don't forget to eat as well. Lots of people get too drunk simply because they don't eat enough while they drink.

     

    Vodka and other strong drinks (but vodka more so because it is drunk in shots) have a delayed action. From drinking a shot to its peak effect it will take about 20 - 30 minutes. Also, vodka "hits you in the legs", so the result is - you sit at the table, feeling fine, then you stand up (to go for a cigarette or something) and all of a sudden the floor rises and hits you in the face. So unfair...

     

    So, eat a lot, know your limit, keep count of what you've drunk, remember the delay factor and don't do it too often - other than that, it's simple.

     

    Regards

    I rarely drink alcohol unless I have peanuts, pork rinds, potato chips or something else that's salty and crispy with it. Especially if it's beer or a vodka drink. And wine I drink almost exclusively with food.

     

    Though granted sometimes I just enjoy a drink on its own, especially if it has a rather complex taste that could easily be screwed up by food. This usually goes for whiskey which is just ruined by food usually.

  4. Yeah, whatever, but the fact he doesn't want to explore new things pisses me off a bit. He thinks he's cool, because he read Harry Potter. He's not.

    I don't really get why that pisses you off. If he likes Harry Potter and wants to read it, at least it's a start. Was kind of dick'ish of you to bash it just because you think it's shitty. Could be worse, he could be reading Twilight.

  5. Since I fraggin' ADORE Borderlands 2 and has been playing it almost exclusively lately, I downloaded a bunch of Borderlands 2 1080p wallpapers, stuffed'em in a folder and just set'em to shuffle every 10 seconds. All of them look pretty darn awesome but this one's my favorite so far.

  6. Well Shiny, I've got a suggestion for you.

     

    Don't miss any opportunities to talk to girls. Seriously, always draw out conversations, at least a little bit. Girls love to talk, especially about themselves. So if you give them lots of reasons to talk to you, they'll like you. Some good conversation starters are:

     

    "So if you were to get raped, would you get an abortion?"

     

    And

     

    "Did you know that swallowing semen has been shown to prevent cancer?"

     

    But seriously don't do that. Just follow Dipper's style and do what he does... like, after the whole plan thing.

    If a guy came up to me and started talking like that I would just back away nervously.
