K-K-K-K-KRAZY!

Right. So erm.
Fuck.

Didn't see that one coming.

Oh well.

I've left the JMU anime society. I gave it my best shot, I guess we all did, but unfortunately it just wasn't meant to be. Weekly turnouts kept declining and none of the big Anime Companies would listen to us so we could show licensed content. Not only that, but there were constant fights amongst the admins and moderators, including the latest one which directly involved me. So I quit.
I do hope that it takes off, for everyone who's actually put work into it and  done more than just bitched about other people in it.
But besides that, there's another anime society in Liverpool. Ok, so it's from a different University, but at least they let anyone join. What's more, screenings are £3.50 less than the JMU one and they're able to show licensed content. I guess it does make sense that only one big society is needed as opposed to a moderately big one and a small one with only a handful of dedicated members.
Perhaps I'm just making excuses because I actually enjoyed the little group we had but the fact remains I'm no longer a part of it and I don't intend on coming back, for various reasons.
The biggest shame is that people who are 18+ can't get along, can't back down or can't resist getting one up on someone they just happen to disagree with, even if they are/were a friend. Ah well, 'cest la vie. And that concludes the only bit of French I know.
Another shame is the two-facedness of some people. One minute they're thanking you for helping them out, the next they're bitching about you in a thread or someone's Journal, even on things that have nothing to do with them. Then when you DO bring them into it, they scream out that it does INDEED have nothing to do with them.
You just can't please some people. I give up fighting though, there really is no point when it comes down to it as most of the time it's just a difference of opinion which one side takes too much to heart.

I give up even trying to understand people though. It's almost like humans can't get along without creating problems. I mean, they say everyone needs challenge in their life, so is that why when things are going well, people have a habit of fucking them up? Is this some inherent human flaw that stems from the desire of challenge? I really don't know.

Like I said, I give up trying to even understand. So I'm going to the Krazyhouse on Saturday, Everyone is invited (And I mean EVERYONE), so tag along if you wish to go out that night. I really don't care if you have beef with me or if I have beef with you, I'm not going to be bitter about it or care that you're there and if you all do the same, then what does it matter. I'm going to have a good time regardless and nobody else will be able to ruin it, because quite frankly I just don't care enough to bother fighting. And if you have a problem with that.....I don't care. I've got more important things to waste energy on, like my relationship with Carmy (which still seems to be going well), my coursework (Also going very well), my computer, Uber, my room, my shoelaces and well..pretty much everything else in the world.

Sony are bastards.

Everyone has been going nuts in the news about Sony's rootkit embargo, but most people I bet don't know jack about it.
I've seen people say it'll destroy your computer or even that if you get rid of it, you wont be able to listen to any Sony CD on your PC, as well as all sorts of other crazy ideas, but it's not that bad.
All it is, simply put, is a piece of software that's installed on your PC when you load up a Sony CD that prevents you from being able to copy the CD.
The software itself, the actual rootkit, just hides the files installed from the CD so you can't manually delete them.
What this also means is that Anti-virus software can't see them either and this is where the real concern lies.
ANYONE could write a simple virus, even using code from an older one that's detected by any AV software under the sun, and all they gotta do is rename it appropriately and Sony's own little software will hide it for them!

So yeah, people are kicking up a fuss and for good reason, just sometimes it's not the right reason.

Luckily, there's a cure, it's here: http://www.sophos.com/support/cleaners/rkprfgui.com

Just download and run that little application and it'll check your PC for Sony's rootkit and any viruses that might be trying to exploit it. Problem solved.

Mind you, it's disgraceful that Sony would endanger the actual LEGIT users of their music like that. Not that I'm one to talk, I've never bought an album from Sony, BMG, Arista or any other publisher owned by them, but I have bought other Sony products, such as a Playstation, countless games, various peripherals (like TV's or whatever) and so on, however I personally wont ever buy ANYTHING from Sony ever again.

Oh and if it makes you feel any better, Sony filed a patent a few weeks ago which basically gives them exclusive rights to a way of "assigning" a piece of software to one system and one system only. (Basically, a sort of code is placed on a Disk. When that code is read, it's burned off the disk and the code is stored on the console itself). What does this mean in plain English? Only that you'll never be able to trade in your old PS3 games when you're done with them. Still want a PS3?

Sony can go and die.

I never did like ebaum's world.....

So very, very....true....

And I'm straight

Hmm, this is the latest entry I've made in a while.
Anime Society today had the lowest turnout ever, like 6 people showed up or something which was a shame, because it was bloody funny. It was actually one of the most fun  ones yet, even though the Anime we watched (some weird thing about some princess loosing feathers) was supposed to be serious, there were just so many ways to take the piss. I mean come on, when someone says "the princess has lost something very special" how the hell am I supposed to resist making a comment? >_>

I have a MUCH bigger penis than him

Someone made a Yumeria game...

If this means nothing to you, don't worry.

Anyhoo, things are going all right at the moment. There are still a few teething problems here and there, but what's important is that I don't actually care, I'll just get on with things and enjoy life. If someone wants to be an idiot, fine by me, I'm just going to go on and not get strung up on it ^_^

For some...REALLY odd reason not yet explained, Uber will NOT connect to the University's Ethernet connection.
It just reported that it couldn't connect. I even bought a new NIC and still the problem persisted.
Even the tech guys from the Uni (who actually seemed to know their shit) had no clue as to what the problem was, but I found a solution.
I hooked up the wireless card in my Laptop and created a sort of mini wireless network between it and my PC.
This means the internet goes into Hiromi and then is wirelessly transmitted to Uber. Score.
Oh and quite funny, when I first turned on the Wireless card in Uber, it detected another wireless network similar to my own (as in it was a PC to PC network and not one created with a router) only it was completely unsecured. What's more, both people had enabled file and printer sharing on a bunch of folders.
Naturally, I had a little sniff around and would you believe it, someone who had named their computer "ANAKIN" had the Sims 2 there, just waiting to be fucked with.
So I did him a favour and deleted it, then left him a note saying he was an idiot for not having secured his network. Oh and for being a Sims fan as well. Bastard.

Dear Diary....

Things are good again. Go me.

It's over.

This situation, the whole Kay thing. It's over. There is now absolutely no reason as to why it should ever have to be a factor in my life again. If anyone wants to continue with it, be my guest but don't do it here, don't involve me, don't come anywhere near me with it. This has caused me a lot of pain, a lot of friends and a lot more besides. It has haunted me for over a year and now it's going to end.
I no longer want it to keep cropping up just when my life is going well, I no longer want to feel guilty because some innocent party got caught in the middle, friend or not. I no longer want to be in the middle of a debate between 2 people, even if it's me they're fighting about. I just want it to be over. And this is the last time it will ever be mentioned. This is the last time I will let myself get affected by it. In future, all my actions will happen regardless as to what this situation would dictate. If I have to go into a room that Kay or someone that doesn't like me is in, then I'm going into it, but right now that's not likely to happen outside of lectures and maybe the Anime society if I keep going. And that's how it will stay. If anyone has ANYTHING to say, say it now, here, in this thread. If anyone else mentions anything to do with this later on, their post will be deleted and they will be banned from this LJ. It's harsh, yes, but I am putting a fucking stop to this one way or another because in the space of a couple of days I lost a VERY good fucking friend over it and that is not going to happen again.

To anyone who got caught up in this or affected by this in any way, shape or form, I apologise for whatever actions I did that caused it.
