    Blunders, Eight-stringed Ukuleles and Random Winged Insects: Voran's blog

    For perspective my own hyperbullet rating is currently 1521. So quite the shark tank.

    Blunders, Eight-stringed Ukuleles and Random Winged Insects: Voran's blog

    I came 15th out of 54 people. Not too bad given the place was full of 2200s. I should have been dead last...but I can be quick and deadly with the help of a little caffeine and heavy metal music :D

    Blunders, Eight-stringed Ukuleles and Random Winged Insects: Voran's blog

    Played a bit of hyperbullet...alas it was me who succumbed to a deadly annihilation during the half hour arena. Not really bothered...if anything that's inspiring. I too could get good enough to pull off that move in 1.5 of a second. Some day. With a bit of work.

    Things that drive me nuts

    It irks me that I have said I love you before because men wanted me to say it and I thought I should do it to be normal and not be selfish. I wish I could be some sort of gold star person who has never said I love you. Oh well. Enough Red Bull and late night ultrabullet binges should surely...

    Things that drive me nuts

    True! I just personally find it loathsome. I may be a bit of a hypocrite. I have a steel ring with the word annihilation in ominous gothic letters that my mom ordered for me after I won a blitz chess arena...Still more respectful to the earth's crust than bloody I love you though. :D

    Things that drive me nuts

    Also things I hate: Looking through said tungsten rings and seeing the phrase I love you engraved on them. I completely realize I'm being unreasonable but that makes me cringe lolol. That metal was mined from the viscera of the earth and you're going to disrespect it by lasering a stupid...

    Things that drive me nuts

    I find it irritating how so often you can only get tungsten carbide rings in male sizes. Not all. Some do come smaller. My index fingers can just about fit men's rings by now because I play stringed instruments so much and my hands bulked out. Still annoying how some ranges are off limits. I...

    A chess site are going to do an article about me.

    I think it's that people instinctively think of women as being help personnel. Same reason some men feel we should smile regardless of whether its context-appropriate to smile. Rainy day? Headache? But but SMILE you abrasive bitch! This is about MEEEE and my feelings! And then when we act like...

    A chess site are going to do an article about me.

    I guess children for some are like chess for me...worth powering through the hard parts. Tilt sucks. I would not wish it on anyone. Blundering your queen because you lost concentration for a split second sucks. I push through those things because nothing compares to the power-drunk feeling...

    A chess site are going to do an article about me.

    When I was younger I largely dealt with it via dark humor because I didn't really know what else to do. People usually shut up once I started telling dead baby jokes. And that's healthy and appropriate for a 19 year old...As I get older though I do think its important to speak out about it...

    A chess site are going to do an article about me.

    It's always unsettled me how hard people dogfight about getting me to change my mind. It especially used to bother me when I was younger because what leg did I have to stand on? How can I prove I won't change my mind by 40 or 50? I couldn't really say why though because hey - if people want to...

    A chess site are going to do an article about me.

    Jokes and intentionally dramatized rants aside - I'll just share my thoughts on this. I really don't think they would...because I would have to want those children in the first place. I am good at a few things but caring type activities are just not on that list. I didn't like my niece and...
