Ok Lyssa here, and LOL
The one gal you were worried about on the left there Dimbark? Yeah that is the studio owner from this area...and her and I don't really get along so LOL and Thank you!
Guy in the back is the Husband of another Belly dancer from The Netherlands. Tjarda Van Straten, She is actually a cool chick.
This was our "Be silly" Picture Hence why Kaleena is flipping off the camera, and the rest of the gals are acting like Idiots. TO be fair, we had all been just sitting on the floor talking for about 2 hours. It was an "experiential" Workshop, and the Teacher of the workshop, Amy, knows Rim and made him take the workshop. Amy initiated me into her troupe, so Rim is initiated by proxy.
And I am guessing we should post more pictures of Nahmbo? How about some video of a wicked chick with a 10 foot whip on fire? Anyone up for that?

Sorry, I thought I mentioned the program. Its Gateway's Social Network Software. It comes with the computer already installed and downloads via gateway updates.

Yeah it was actually painless because my dentist is very compassionate and skillful. He gave me 10 mg of Valium (aka Diazapam or a kind of common tranquilizer) to take 30 minutes before I even sat in the seat. Then I huffed Nitrous Oxide to feel fluffy while he injects the Novocaine. I didn't feel a thing.
So for those who haven't had theirs pulled yet, its not bad at all. Firstly, the Nitrous is called "laughing gas" because of the body's natural reaction to it, which is a quick exhale that resembles a chuckle. When they pull it out, the sound and crunch feels identical to biting and cracking into a hard candy. If you can do that, you can get this done.
I've only had a little bit of pain after I got home but the amount of relieved pressure on my other teeth, jaw, and ears is nothing compared to the tooth aches and stuff I've been dealing with for the last four years.
Honestly get them pulled AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! I couldn't because they hadn't come in soon enough. I'm looking forward to eating stuff without any pain again.

At the time, I liked how seamless the level changes felt and how the game felt so non-stop. Also, the part in the beginning when you get zapped by the beam in the test chamber and it sends you on a crazy sporadic skipping between the worlds. The part when you just show up in front of four Vorts in the dark always freaked me out. It was so nightmarish.

Ok Time for a Female Perspective (obviously this is Lyssa..yet again, and if first off you are wondering why I don't just get my own account on here Rim would probably make me start playing Half Life and Team Fortress and such, and I might be good at it and pwn you all so until then, I hi-jack his with his permission)
first off I live with a Vietnam Veteran with 2 purple hearts (got shot in the neck and leg) and was a Tank commander and had a complete military career. He is a HARD CORE Conservative Republican. He watches O'Riley factor every night as well as a sleuth of other political shows.
My mom is a Democrat, she doesn't really know a lot of political stuff, but she knows what she wants and what she doesn't
I myself am somewhere in the middle. And yes Election years are oodles of Fun at my house, just ask Rimmy
Anyway, ok here is the thing. I do NOT want some saggy dusty nut sack in charge of what I can and cannot do with my body. I love Rim and all, but if you all think I wan another one of him you crazy. or worse another one of me. I also have some genetic illness (see brain surgery) that would be passed on to a child. So I am pro choice. And that is the thing, unless these MEN are gonna carry the child, birth the child, breastfeed the child stay home and raise said child, then they do NOT get a say. Their part in even MAKING a child is very small. So small in fact that women can have babies without men. Do I think that there should be SOME control on abortions, yes. such as using it for Birth control...no that is just ignorant. Using it to try and get a desired sex of the child, aka aborting all female children in hopes of getting a male child. That is just ..ugh yuck.
But if a 13 year old girl who was molested by her father is now pregnant, I want her to be able to have the CHANCE not just the CHOICE of having that situation amended in the safest way possible for her. As if she hasn't been through enough ya know? Or the mother who would die if the pregnancy were not terminated, or worse a child who is born with Harlequin Syndrome. Look it up, it's nasty.
There are a LOT of reasons to be pro choice, but honestly I don't think any being with a penis should be allowed to have ANY say in what I or any other woman does with my vagina thank you very much.
Gay marriage, if stupid assed people like Britney spears can get married, and have it annulled in 24 hours, OR get married, have kids, go crazy then have her kids taken away, then yeah we should let gay couples get married. cause saying someone can;t be with someone the love, well the tables should be turned and divorce should be made illegal and make people have to live with the choices they have made. that sounds fair to me. Love for all or misery for all.
immigration. Ok here is the problem with that. We have people immigrating to the country illegally THEN getting on welfare and medicaid and basically getting the money that the American citizens pay into the Social Security system go to someone who has not paid a cent. They are given free health care, food stamps , and money without lifting a finger, and in some cases without even learning English. You wanna be a part of this country, do it right, take the damned citizenship test, pay taxes, pay into the social security system. Because people who are illegal immigrants are getting it and people who pay taxes into the system who are legitimately in need don;t get shit. you all know I had brain surgery, and guess what, I worked, I paid taxes, and it took 3 years for me to get a nickle form the government to help me out. so how is that fair at ALL. for serious.
I cannot STAND how this country is run. At all. I do vote. I am pretty much kicked out if I don't (refer to super political step-father) and I take the time to really look at the candidates and see which is the lesser of two evils. I have not made my decision yet, but once they pair off into sets of two and the election gets closer, I usually sit my happy ass down and do research. See who is the least crazy of them all, because at this point I know our nation is doomed. I know this, I mean as Archie pointed out the complete and utter idiocy of the petty pointless squabbles that are the front running debates of this campaign....ugh...
So there is my 2c as a female.
TL;DR My Vagina, my choice, all can marry or none can divorce, all play and no work makes you a rich immigrant, and all work and no help, makes you a screwed citizen.

(Lyssa here)
I am of Irish decent yes. The symbolism
Starfish-healing and regeneration. Alternatively, it indicates that you have many options to weigh and decisions to make.
The symbol is actually a necklace that my mom bought me after my brain surgery because it looks like the thing they took out of my head. The artist redrew a new one that is different enough that I can wear the necklace and people probably wouldn't make the correlation with the tattoo.
It's basically an early B-day present for myself (ma birthday is next Thursday I'll be 27) as well as my homage to the brain surgeries I had. I wanted a more unique starfish instead of the from above views you see in most starfish tattoos, as well as (dorky as it is) I had a dream about getting this tattoo and it was crawling up my chest, so you could see the underside and the feet. SO the guy I went to (Reb who is fucking AWESOME) drew this for me and gave me the actual original drawing so that no one else will get this exact tattoo except me. He's a pro like that.
it's also the only tattoo that I have that will be visible nearly all the time (and my 11th one actually)
Me and Reb are trying to get ol Rimmy in the chair hehe...don't tell.
So yeah I think that answered all the questions. Oh and um @ Captain Terror, write Rim a note or something and we will go and have Tea together. Clean you boys up! make some Gentlemen out of you! and then you can go play Half Life....BUT ONLY AFTER TEA PARTY!!!

No i didn't make the game. What was so hard was if i had messed up a little, i had to go back and do it over. These do-overs are called rerecords and in larger projects they count into the tens of thousands. Mine has about 80 rerecords because I just kept fucking up. The tools aren't ever that advanced, its not like i have a timeline to scroll through, and there's a delay in frames from various things like button input speed, lag or slowdown, and sometimes cursors blink and are invisible at certain frames making me unable to see what i'm selecting.
I like TAS's that are comical rather than serious.
...wow i just made myself so very sad just now.

I'm surprised no one has switched our heads.
There's a button with the app's icon on it that when its pressed it launches the app.
Let me know if you need some cg.
I drink so sparingly now. Even then, same principle. I'm just not into drugs because they make me feel bad.
