Ever since my ATH ... and continued good luck (oops, Lootius love) that has given me a run of ubers ... the Sakura Trade Center has had increased traffic, and especially around the ATH crafting machine!
 However, it has also provided opportunity for good friends to enjoy a fun time, as well as old and new friends to join in ... not to mention the occasional visitor who adds a bit of flavor into the mix.  Last night was no exception ... although, it was the largest group so far in the time slot that I'm usually crafting (midnight my time, 04:00 MA time). The usual suspects were there, but several old and new friends joined our craziness. Here is a partial list of those who were in and out of the trade center crafting with us ... along with the usual clan ... TOAST MindStar9 Lykke - (TheNun) Sir Odd Bunny - (did an earlier mini-run) michael mike malan - (got the night's uber) Pi Piyalin Yalin maroschi iserag meriman Hung Khang Pham John Foma Kalun - (pesok at EF) Aura Lily Marcus MAX Cole peterbilt bilt johnny By-Tor Lerxt Rivendell Radiance Rad Luminosity ... AND ... Carefree Dog Youngnott (the exposed one ... who said he tried to sweat an aggressive Ambu who ate up his pants ... ya, right!)  *just kidding ... you're a good sport* At one point ... "Talons Mechanic Hickenson" walked into the trade center and commented on the nice group of crafters. He said ... "shouldn't Lykke bless the machine" ... we told him that she was already there, but had to leave for work after gloabling and hoffing, so yes ... the machine and all the crafters got the Lootius blessing. He then said ... "well then, I better call the fire department" ... ... that was a nice interlude, thanks!  The night was certainly interesting ...   (always beware in the presence of the "EU Picture Storyteller")         TOLD ya ... even though it's a small one!  Click to enlarge After all is said and done ...  Wonder who we'll meet up with next!  *** Last edited by MindStar9; 05-14-2008 at 17:42. |

WHAT do I say ???
Well best of all is that BEFORE responding here, I read your profile and ..... Occupation Behavioral Analyst; Counselor; Psychology Professor and Professional Life Coach .... THAT left poor dog as if he was standing between four lamp posts - not a leg to stand on !! Whatever I say, will lead you to having a field day - PROFESSOR indeed - bad enough that my brother is a Professor (now retired) thinks he knows everything - and - of course - DOG being second born knows NOTHING. Not a problem for me - he was born first and took all the brains - by the time I was born - no brains left. Can I say anything in my defence ? - I "can" say anything I like but all I will do then is PROVE everyone else right - better to remain silent and leave "some" doubt in peoples minds !! He who laughs last - laughs ..... Why would I say that ? - Simply because you missed out on a massive offer of a bribe - I saw you in the Sakura Trade Centre in the opposite corner from your favourite position (next to the magic HOFing m/c !!) AND I had just returned from a hunt - ostensibly to hunt Berycled Stalkers in the 1st LA North of Sakura - only to be bitterly disappointed as the soc who won that LA have not maintained it - it was devoid of all creatures - except for a forlorn DOG in Ghost !! oh yes - the bribe (gosh I DO get carried away - do I not !!) - I said words to the effect of "What is it worth to you - to take a new screen print of me in my Armour (yes WE Aussies SPELL that correctly !!) and for you to then destroy the incriminating evidence of .... (STREAKER) DOG !! p.s. count yourselves lucky that MA have not (yet ?) allowed for a male thong ('G'-String) - OH BOY - (Aussie) DOG would be 1st in line for that !!

I see you finally made it here
... however, contrary to our lengthy (and open chat) discussion at the Sakura TC auction counter that others witnessed, you failed to share some of the nicer things that you said during our exchange of words that got quite philosophical and deep.  After reading my profile ... some will always navigate toward stereotypical thinking that immediately creates barriers with "false" conclusions about who or what I am based on my profession (it actually occurs with a lot of professions). However, in your case, I fully understand the component of "personal experience" that had such influence in your thinking. The side effect of such experience is that it has a tendency to lead one at times into thinking that all people of a specific group behave in the same manner, which is quite the opposite. Also fully understandable ... how the sibling relationship in this respect left a bitter taste in your mouth ... and why you make a statement like ... " THAT left poor dog as if he was standing between four lamp posts - not a leg to stand on !!" ... and pre-judged me not based on your personal interaction with me, but rather the experience with your brother for so many years. However ... I think I was self-disclosing enough with my thoughts during our open discussion last night (that a few others joined in on) to give you perhaps a little clearer "person perception" that we're not all alike either as behavioral analysts, counselors, personal life coaches, or professors. Remember the part where you said to always expect the unexpected? ... and I said I agree, but I add another twist to that? ... the twist being of course ...  For the most part ... I do think that people readily "underestimate" others, but I also understand that it's based on personal belief systems, and it will continue to occur until a change in thinking occurs that allows a person to explore the uniqueness of another without drawing often faulty conclusions. You can hardly compare me, or all others in my profession based on your relationship with your brother (or at least partially so), because personal experience is quite subjective, and results of such cannot be applied across the board to all. Your brother had a PhD in Nuclear Physics ... that's a far cry from the field of psychology, and the dynamics of behavior. The label "Professor" gets stereotyped, and often a bad rap, but it seemed to me that last night you felt a little different in spite of what my profession was, and perhaps based the following comment on the "personal" interaction we shared?  Expect the unexpected? ... yes indeed ... I too live by that motto, but with the twist that I added above ... "never underestimate me" ... which is why I (at times) screenie certain conversations and actions ingame that I perhaps in a process of what I call "2nd step mentality" anticipate that might reappear out of context in a way that might be less than flattering. That said ... interpretation of the printed word is also subjective, and your following comment ... Quote:
All said and done ... I truly enjoyed the open discussion with you last night, and find you quite interesting ... from a personal perspective, and not a professional one. However, how do we as professionals take everything we've learned either through the academic journey, or practical application, and forget about it all while having conversation? For those tuned-in enough (from a more respectul perspective), it allows us to truly appreciate the uniqueness of another individual ... and for my kind in my profession ... it also allows us to be more forgiving with certain behaviors, because we understand (for the most part) the motivations behind them, with what I feel is an often higher level of compassion as such.I found you ... charming, delightful, and expressing a sense of humor that was more delicious than detrimental. It was an "unexpected" and most welcomed ending to a crafting run that for the first time rendered a quite less than desirable outcome. My OA-101 amp is on the shelf right now, and I will occupy my time with other things until I "feel" ready again to step up to the plate. At least Lykke walked away with the uber of the night, as well as others getting hofs. I got one too for 858 I think, but it wasn't enough to balance out the run. On an ending note ... I apologize that I missed your bribe, and perhaps next time we meet up we can entertain this discussion again. I think once exposed is enough, but having another pic of you in something other than briefs just might be a good thing. Ciao till the bribe session! *We'll see about the "spelling" thingy another time ... AND ... I don't sleep with teddybears! ... oh, and MA? ... get the (M) thong out there please ... we want equal eye candy!* *** Last edited by MindStar9; 05-16-2008 at 15:45. |
