    I'm kinda looking for something a bit like the boards.ie logo in the sticky header of the new skin, or like the GameFaqs one, but with my website name (which I'm not posting here, because I haven't registered the domain and ye're all a bunch of thieving bastids! :pac:)

    Hmm tis kinda hard. dunno what font they use and im sure they wouldnt be giving it out.... although :rolleyes: ....

    Like if you could find out the font of the sites im sure it is possible to get it. after all you can get every font on the internet :pac:

    Not that simple though, because there is an "O" in the name, and I want that O to be replaced by a CD, and on that CD I want a smaller version of the logo. :P

    Here's a rule of thumb, if you replace a letter in a logo with an image, it looks like shit. Retain the O.

    My main reasoning behind doing it was that I could use the image as a smaller logo for other uses, sort of kill two birds with one stone to use a cliche.

    But your advice is noted, and will probably be used once I see how bad my original design looks on the screen. :pac:

    Frightened rabbit were stunning last night! I got to say hi to Grant just before it too, and he heard me, and he replied!! I'm totally fanboying now. They reduced my friend to tears! Oh my God... I am so delighted that I bought a ticket for Dublin too! *collapses*

    I dont understand science. i dont get how they can look at a picture and be able to determine what the fracking hell it is. i mean no body had touched, smelt or physically seen these objects with the naked eye without the use of machinery which could for all we know be sending a load of lies and everything we know about space could be wrong. but im guessing the large majority is right. but blackholes.... they exist but not one single human being has gone through or even infact came back to tell the tale so no body know what they are for sure. i dont think even technology is that advanced.

    They use maths. Also applying observable physical principles in clever, logically connected ways.

    The awkward moment when you check the sites which bring people to your blog and one of them is described at "free sex dating for adults" ! My blog is all about US Sports which makes me majorly confused about how these things work :P

    None of this waiting around for 3 days bullshít. If you like her text her something like "hey how are you, did you have a good night last night or something". She clearly gave you her number for a reason! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,394 ✭✭✭JamJamJamJam


    Yeah I guess.. I'm really not good at this though, so I can see it going badly when she realises..!

    What didn't help was some guy last night saying he wouldn't go out with me unless I changed everything about me.. That's a lot :-P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,009 ✭✭✭✭wnolan1992


    A girl gave me her number tonight... What the hell do I do now!? She's way too cool for me... Ah :-(

    Do what I do:

    - Obsess about it constantly for a few days.
    - Replay in your head every single word she said to you to scan for sarcasm and/or hints that she was actually dared/bet by her friends to give you her number.
    - Write out several drafts of the test message you want to send, trying your best not to sound creepy/stalkerish.
    - Realise that despite your best efforts, the text message seems creepy/stalkerish.
    - Repeat step #2.
    - Final draft of text message.
    - Send text message.
    - Get no reply.
    - Cry.



    Thankfully this process doesn't happen to me much. :P

    Probably his way of saying he's heterosexual.

    In other news flapjacks are great.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 636 ✭✭✭anirishlad


    Does facebook depress anybody else?:P

    Like i'll see people putting up pictures from last night going "what a great night at blah blah" and like everybodys so happy and im just here writing out german verbs feeling sorry for myself and my social awkwardness.

    Not in that way, more in the sense that I'm completely fed up with it.

    But anyway, flapjacks = okay.

    See now there's your problem. If someone takes ages to contact me I'd be thinking 'Well they're obviously not bothered. Fuck 'em I'm not even going to reply.'
    Where as if I get a text the next day, it's like 'Oh they want to talk to me, that's sweet!'

    I was being semi-tongue-in-cheek. In reality I probably would send a really awkward cringy text the next morning.

    Hasn't been an issue though, as I've only ever got a girl's number once, and she was with her boyfriend at the time, so nothing was going to happen there. :P

    Just because she has a boyfriend doesn't mean nothing can happen. You've got to sweet-talk her, and bad mouth him. Eventually they'll have a fight and she'll be crying in your arms. One thing will lead to another and ye will be in the bedroom ready to get down to a business transaction. When she strips down in front of you, play innocent and give her a lecture on the wrongs of infidelity.

    Yeah sure anybody would think that if you look at your facebook wall. In fact, it's been documented that people having over a certain amount of facebook "friends", something like 360, makes them more likely to contemplate/commit suicide as their own life seems far inferior to the lives of the many facebook friends.

    However, it must be remembered that Facebook shows a completely inaccurate representation of someone's life. The majority of people only post on facebook what is good about their life. Chances are, there's equally as many bad things in such a person's life. So looking at all of these people's "fantastic" lives and comparing them to your own may make you suicidal.

    It's ridiculous really, and one of the reasons I don't really use facebook much, apart from the groups feature. I rarely post anything to my own page.
    360 friends+ is quite ridiculous really if you ask me anyway, if you have that many "friends" you aught to take a look at your friends list and how many of them can really be considered friends.

    I don't think he meant the word depressed that strongly to be honest, I'll wait for him to respond but maybe suicidal is too strong a word, when you look at his smiley afterwards.

    As flyswatter probably just said i misused depress a bit there, just meant like you feel bad seeing your friends going off to partys and meeting new people and you not being invited.

    I try to avoid it as much as I can but at my age if your not on it you will be automatically be put down as one of those weirdo's who doesn't like to talk to people :P People dont really give each other there numbers anymore, they just say they'll add each other on facebook and see how it goes on from there. I agree with you about the whole friends thing alot of people in my year would have 600+ and i know 2 or 3 with 1500+ which is just crazy, I only have 204 so I guess I'm doing something right.:pac:

    (I have friends outside school that DO invite me to things, its just my year seem to think im a weird nerdy girl who cant have a good time -_-)
