Softdrink 117 - Do you work at Target? If not, you should go there wearing the red shirt/khaki pants in that pic and pretend that you do.

Haha, realized after I uploaded it that it wasn't rotated. Oh well. As anybody who knows me will attest, I'm a little off-kilter anyways. :wink:

lolno

I work at a solar power company. Was just doing laundry at the time this pic was taken, so those slacks and that (Coca-Cola) T-shirt were the only things that were clean.

As my last entry in this thread was accidentally a picture I posted last year, here's another.

Me, on three hours sleep after a party, interviewing Epic founder Tim Sweeney in front of 400-500 people at a games industry conference, feeling excessively self-conscious. I fucking hate being on a stage, but when you get an opportunity apparently you're meant to take it. Still, this was easier to do than when 17 people turned up to a talk I did later the same day!

Still, it shows that if a scatterbrained, disorganised idiot like me can do it, anyone can:

Here's me. I used to look EXACTLY like trap15 before I dyed my hair. I also wear glasses, but I always take them off for photos.

Every year, the same shit! Why do you people still fail to believe that I'm always upside down? As we all know, that's why my head is so big.

Well, some of us don't have women to show off. Or don't really like our appearances much. :lol:

i was like 15 minutes away from the top. me and my best friend we were a bit late because of the many climbers (around 3000 i guess that evening/night alone), so we had to return after beeing nearly at the top...it is very sad...and iam missing the last brandstamp on my mt fuji walking stick. -.- it really was also too crowded right before the top so we could not go any further...i will do the climbing again in 2015, and this time to the top and stay there for a while. and weekdays and not on a friday/saturday night like this year.:)

but be assured: it was a real tortue to climb that far and the way down seemed to be endless and was a pain to walk on all those ashes and rocks...many climbers slipped and fell down on the grounds...but it was an awesome experience and everybody who comes to japan should do this.

i also visited jomon-sugi on yakushima Island if somebody knows the tree. also a very long and tortourus hike.

No. :cry: I foolishly left it too late and it had sold out when I went to buy them the week before. My own stupid fault. I've seen them before though and they are utterly incredible live.
