自閉 - Self Closure

The band's all together for a fantastic show this year! We're hoping to blow your expectations of furry rock out of the water!

Come see us and we'll show you what it's all about!

 Panda and I are looking for a new roommate!

We live 10 minutes away from the U of M Campus, down the street from a lovely Japanese restaurant and an Asian food market. We're in a pretty nice neighborhood with a lovely double backyard and a small front porch. It's a pretty nice place.

Rent is expected to be $350 a month, and you get your own room with a spacious closet right across from the bathroom.
Rent includes utilities and internet, but not cable TV. If you want TV, you have to pay for that yourself :P
Food is not included in rent; you'll have to buy your own food, or come shopping with us to buy a whole pool for the household.
We're asking that you pay the first month upfront.

We're looking for someone familiar with a very open mind, preferably male, though female is fine, too! We allow drinking, and smoking is OK outside of the house, but no other recreational drug use is allowed.

Ideally, we're looking for someone who can move in April 1 (Please, no April Fools applicants :P), though we understand that's not necessarily going to be the case. Otherwise, we're looking for someone who needs a place ASAP. We'll collect rent based on the first day you move in.

Sound like something you're interested in? Send me a note or an e-mail!

Apparently, this letter is bawfest. What do YOU think?

To: B______

Subject: Moo
I can't do subjects. So you get a cow sound. I'm talking to you because at some point, you were actually my friend, and possibly still are, now. Maybe your hackles won't be raised from the getgo.

I understand that D____ has a big problem with me, and probably you, too, since you both tend to share the same opinions. That's fine. Next time, be up front, because all it's led to is more drama in my house, and I don't want any more of it. People here are convinced D____'s saying things about Panda and that she is very insincere in her friendship with him, as she was with me. I don't know if that's true, but what I do know is that if she'd been up front, this wouldn't have happened.

In the spirit of this, I will be up front with you.

Recently, Q___ decided that he hated Panda, and he wouldn't tell us why. He texted this morning and said he won't be accepting payment to mow our yard, and that he wanted his PS3 game he bought to play in our house back. Naturally, Panda was very upset because he didn't know what was wrong. I told Q___ he would not be setting foot in my home without explaining himself, and since the game has been on my property for several months, he doesn't have a PS3, and he doesn't have the receipt for the purchase, I would be holding onto the game as well. He still hasn't gotten his game, but he's free to do so now. I told him he was being childish when he said he'd rather give up the game than talk about what was bothering him, so he called Panda. He told Panda and Baka a myriad of things, the least of which were things like, "If I make Panda upset, it's none of Buck's business," "I'm uncomfortable about Panda asking Buck to stay in our hotel room, and now since he left, we're struggling to pay for the room," "Someone at M_______'s party told me that Panda said I was a whore," among other things. I won't blab about what I think of Q___'s role in all this, but I will address the other ones (that, sic) concern you and, mainly, D____.

As far as the hotel room: Panda offered from the beginning to pay for the room despite not using it. I don't know about you two, but Q___ soundly refused the offer and demanded he not bother. His complaints are not very fair because of that. Once again, though, in regards to the room drama, if you and D____ had SAID you had a problem with me from the beginning, no one would be very upset about all that. I would be willing to just pay you for it, but I have been forbidden to do so, since you refused the initial offer.

All the people who have visited my house are fairly convinced that D____ HAS to be the one who told Q___ that Panda called him a whore. I don't think that's necessarily true, but I can't convince anyone otherwise, and the "facts" add up against her. Panda did say he was a flirt, and admits to it. Not that anyone who goes to his FA can't tell for themselves. However, the "whore" or "sleeping around" comments are inaccurate. Again, I'm not entirely convinced it's true, but if D____ has a problem with me or Panda, I request that she doesn't use her malice against us, i.e. talk about us to other people. I'm to understand D____ has said some pretty shitty things about me, even before she knew me, and yet here I am, defending her from everyone here. Regardless of that, I ask that we are not spoken about in ill will. I say nothing but the truth about you two, and nothing based on conjecture. The worst I will say about D____ is that she is untrusting and holds a mean grudge, and the worst I'll say about you is you have a propensity to try to make people happy to a fault. Is that untrue? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess my point is...

Everyone around here claims they hate drama and that they don't perpetuate it. Yet, here we are. By not being honest and open, we've opened a whole new can of worms that won't stay shut. No one says everything they feel, and it's probably better that way, and sometimes it's best not to approach certain disagreements at sour times, but nothing is worse for drama management than to be underhanded, talk behind people's backs, and perpetuate rumors. In my opinion, the group over in Bartlett has no room to complain about drama that they themselves create. That's a bit harsh, but I don't hear any bad news coming from furries around here right now. Then again, apparently we're quite the buzz over there. Go figure.

To be clear, I don't hate anyone. Other than Q___, with whom I'm rather upset, I'm just tired, and I don't think any of you give a shit about us. Panda is very upset about losing any of you, especially M_______ and Q___, and I feel bad for him since apparently this keeps happening over and over again. I really hope you will choose to be sincere friends with him. As for me, though, I don't want to be friends if you guys don't really consider me a friend. I won't be cold to you or poop all over your name when I'm with my friends, and I expect that you won't do the same for me. Let my own actions speak for me; I don't need your help to build a reputation.
Truth be told, I don't think D____ has been very fair with me, and I don't think her unforgiving resentment is warranted. Since she DOES talk to people about everyone she hates, I can only assume she talks to everyone about me in a negative light. Frankly, that's not her place, considering the only grudges she has against me to my knowledge are our fight with P__________ (which I THOUGHT we'd resolved) and the fact that I'm too nice and forgiving or something. I don't want to sound rude, but that's the most retarded complaint you could possibly have about your friend's boyfriend. It really is, and you can tell her I said that.

If you have anything to say, you can respond, since it's your prerogative. However, I'm really tired of hearing about bullshit day in and day out, and I'm at a point of apathy about associating with any of you. Granted, I don't hold grudges if at some point things are patched up. Until then, though, I just want to be left alone.


So yeah. I don't think I've been mean or unfair, so I guess that's all I have to say.

Yours,
Buck

So, yeah. And here's the response.

Subject: lol furries

Internet tough guys are epic lolz. Keep telling yourself that sending my boyfriend tl;dr nastygrams about what a meanie I am is doing something. Your tears are sweet and delicious.

As is always the case, some people have bailed out at the last minute. 

As such, I have one to two slots still open in my room. Just post here if you're still looking for a room... You will have a bed.

On another note, I have a friend who needs a room. Why not stay in mine? Well, a few people in my room raised a stink about sleeping arrangements.
His name is Jimmy, and he's a bunny. He's older, but he's very nice and quiet. He stayed with us last year, and there were no problems; everyone got along with him and even liked him (gasp!). The only problem is that he's a loud sleeper.
So, I'm looking for a sound sleeper who wouldn't mind a kind rabbit for a roommate. He's looking for floorspace from Friday to Sunday, and will pay :3
Please respond! I'd hate for a wonderful guy to have to miss out on RCFM for something as simple as not being able to find a room.

Greetings! I'm Buck, Mr. Husky-In-Denial himself, and my friends and I are looking to fill that pull-out couch for RCFM!

Here's what you need to know.

-Try to keep the place reasonably tidy.

- We would prefer a couple, if possible, or two people who don't mind sharing a bed. In the absence of this possibility, all are welcome, so don't be shy about asking!

- Our room is alcohol free. Oh, you can -store- your alcohol in our fridge, but you may not -drink- it in the room. We're of age, but we prefer to keep it out. As far as drinking elsewhere, have at it.

- No matter  what a striper tells you, there is no sex in the Champaign Room. Couples showering, however, is encouraged :D It's not only cute, it also saves time :3

- We are a musical bunch, which means we might have guitars, music, or Amplitude playing at any given time. If you need sleep, we are courteous to your requests, and will keep it down as needed.

- We tend to stay up late and get up early. There will be traffic in and out of the room a good portion of the day. Again, I will personally enforce courtesy, but if you're a very, very light sleeper, this may not be ideal for you.

- Any food in the room, unless someone writes their name on it for some reason, is up for grabs. It's all yours if you want it!

- The room is open to male and female alike :D You will be rooming with four gay/bi males ages 20-26.

- Your rate will cover Thursday to Sunday night, a total of $123.08, or $98.46 each if there is a couple. 

Hope to hear from you soon! First come, first serve!

 It's been a while, friends.

Well, I've been working on my Earthbound project almost exclusively, with a little bit of Sunday In Dublin mixed in. Exit Mouse hasn't fallen by the wayside by any means, but we've slacked since January. I don't see Dani and Deji much anymore; we've become hermits to our respective households. Oh, and if you don't know by now, they're dating, happily coupled for, what, three months now? Kudos.
I'm curious to see how the music duties will balance out as I prepare for RCFM. I've got a lot of music to rerecord/remaster before then, and I surmise a lot of things will be pushed aside for it. I refuse to have my show fucked up again. The month of May will be absolutely devoted to it. I'll be running through my set at least five times a week to make sure everything runs smoothly, if all goes according to plan. Doing it solo requires that a lot of things sync up without a hitch, and to be honest, I could use the practice. I want to iron out all the snares.

I've been on a Blur kick lately. I can't put them down. Think Tank and 13 are freaking great albums.

I'm getting an iPhone app, once I'm proactive and activate it. I'll let you know. It'll be a free download, and you'll have a Buck on the Go :3 I'm planning a podcast as well, a short little thing, and each episode will reveal a clue to a new secret link on the site with freebee goodies :3 I'm wondering if it should be exclusively offered to the iPhone app. Hmm...

I keep waking up late for class. It's getting on my nerves. There's no one source I can isolate, either. One time it's work, another, I set the alarm wrong, another, I just stayed up too late. I've missed a lot of Japanese. That's no good.

I started writing in January, but I stopped. Tried to pick it back up tonight, but I lack motivation. I'm in a sour mood. Go figure.

Had this kid intern at RESOLUTE for a middle school project. He tracked a song for ThumStruck 2, did a good job. Some minor edits, and it's good to go. Also had a quick conversation or two with Mika, which was an honor. ThumStruck lets me talk to talented people ^__^

Thinking of starting a bandcamp site, sell the remastered versions of my songs. What do you think? Will it sell?

I guess that's it.

Yours,
    Buck

Yes, we actually DO work for pizza.

Today at work, I got this G-mail IM from my boss.

Chris: If you value your life, you will go over and touch Matt's head.
me: o.oii
which one is that, again?
Chris: Your left.

So I did. As I was doing it, he sent this message to Matt.

Chris: Watch out for Buck.

Chris was highly amused.

Sent at 6:35 PM on Thursday
me: random amusement
Chris: hey, I told you this was an exciting job! And you performed well.

I love this job.

Hey, everyone!

My name's Buck, music representative and engineer for RESOLUTE Games & Apps in Memphis, TN. Fall is coming up, and we're looking for some new music from known and unknown artists across the world for the sequel to our iPhone/iPod touch hit, Thumstruck.

Here's a early working example of easy mode from the first game to give you an idea of how the game works.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqu65riAT1E

I've posted here because I'm confident that there's talent here waiting to be discovered, and I want YOUR MUSIC to be featured in our video game! We want players to have lots and lots of music from which to choose!

A lot of music games right now focus heavily on specific genres. Guitar hero has its rock, and DDR has its electronica. We're looking for an eclectic mix to appeal to all audiences. All genres are welcome, provided there is some melodic base on which to build a game track. Quality and playability are the key!

If you have any questions, you can e-mail, PM, or IM me (see my profile). If you are interested in looking into Thumstruck, you can find out more at http://www.resolutegames.com/?page_id=15 or on the iTunes AppStore. Google has a lot of good stuff, too.

HERE'S HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR MUSIC:

Submission rules:
1. Please submit a link to a website and/or an e-mail address at which to contact you.

2. You may submit only two songs. Each song submitted must have no "bad words," be under 5 minutes long (preferably 2-4 minutes), and be a high quality/studio quality recording. They should be sent as 320 kb/s Stereo MP3 format. If your song has bad words, we will accept an edited version (sorry, but it's AppStore rules).

3. We need to know the name of your song, the band, the length, and the genre for each song submitted.

4. If you don't have a website, tell us your band/artist name, preferred genre title, and give us a quick blurb about the band.

5. YOUR SUBMISSION DOES NOT GUARANTEE APPROVAL. RESOLUTE Games alone decides which songs are selected and which are not. If your music is selected, you will be notified.

5. All submissions must be received no later than August 31, 11:59 pm.

6. Remember, if your submission is approved, you song may not be immediately available to play. We plan to release a song or two every week. You will be notified when your song is playable.

7. We encourage artists to share info with their friends and fans! If you're selected, brag it up! If you know another artist looking for recognition, send them our way! Remember, submission approval is not based on the number of submissions we receive, but on QUALITY and PLAYABILITY of those songs submitted.

8. There will be no monetary compensation for the use of your music. But there will be a direct iTunes link to available downloads, if provided. That means, if your music is in a store, players will be able to find and buy it through the game. Also, we’re going to feature all songs on our website, our marketing materials, and our social media outlets (like Facebook). The license will be non-exclusive with no exchange of intellectual priorities.
