Well good lord. I am ever so ecstatic.

You know that little rush that you get when you accomplish something? I get it often enough to where it's become unnoticed. The real big one for me, though, was when I first learned that I could manipulate folks. My friends have gotten to the point where they look at me when shit's going wrong and say "According to plan?" I nod and we keep going.

.....O_O...you are epic.

Excuse me while I faint from the sheer awesomeness of a shared talent..*passes out*

Read The Prince, The Art of War, and start to gain an understanding of basic psychology and it's not that difficult.

Oh I got down the basic psychology...

Quick to the library!! DANANANAAAAAAA

A few things to remember:

1) Each individual must be analyzed from their own actions. If you need to know how someone's going to act or react to a situation, feed them information. The person will make decisions based upon what they know and, conversely, what they don't know. Someone who's also a manipulator will be difficult, as they're likely to pick up on signs that they, themselves, either would or have used.

2) It's important to make them think that they came up with the idea. If you lead them to come up with the idea, that's fine, but if you actually try to force your will on them, they're more likely to go their own route.

3) Plan for as many possibilities as possible, but try to change what you can to make every eventuality favorable. A true strategist and manipulator is not always attempting to win. Rather, they're trying to make it to where the only possibility is victory.

4) Be flexible. People are a little on the unpredictable side. If you can adjust your plans then you're more difficult to outwit.

Edit: Also? Take a note from Ozzymandius from Watchmen. Only give away your plan if either you've planned to give it away or if there's literally nothing that can possibly be done to stop it.

One beautiful night I woke up at about 3:00am with an idea. I found a way to manipulate magnetic fields to effectively create monopoles for use in a very specific purpose (which I'm afraid I cannot divulge.) A discovery is like reaching the top of a mountain and falling in love at the same time. The amazing thing was that I wasn't even thinking on the matter, I simply woke up with a brilliant idea. I need not say something like "meeting her" for I have surpassed even that remarkable emotion. The average man will tell you that the greatest emotion is called "love," a man of science will tell you that the greatest emotion is "eureka."

Oh, my...

You're in quite the mood, aren't you?

What, it's obvious?

Shit.

>_>

<_<

...don't tell me that this is a constant state for you.

That would be a bad thing?

Not to most people. You'd think that folks would get irritated eventually. I find it amusing.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Happy birthday man!!

OT: Skating with friends overall I guess has been the best part of my life.

I can be somewhat overbearing to be around for long periods of time

Selective hearing is awesome for situations like that I'm told that I'm incredibly patient, though. I disagree (some things set me off almost instantly), but that's beside the point.

In celebration of my 1000th post.
But also in celebration of my Birthday today [sub](Yaaay)[/sub] I decided to make a thread about your best experiences. Ever.
If it's been done recently, sorry, but if not, tell us what the best part of your life has been.

And if you say something along the lines of "Meeting her" I will destroy you. Completely.

Now off with you! To the bottom of the page to post about your great times!

My ever-growing thesis on the meaning of true horror. Delving into such dark writings and surrounding myself with some of the most appealing literature associated with terror and the Macabre! To try and explore the dark corners of the human mind we hide ourselves away from and firmly grasp the concept that the greatest horror comes from real life.

I'm doing an entire oral presenatation on it Wednesday at my University, so I'm hoping to impress my peers. It'll be an accomplisment of the utmost extreme.

That sounds interesting, be sure to post a copy here, it should be worth a read.

It wasn't meeting her. It was meeting you. ^_^

Hmm, when I went to the Metallica concert last Wednesday. Now THAT was pure awesome.

 

[Cobbs]

Happy birthday!

...And plus, i'm a great cook. So my food is scrumptious.

damnit, i can barely reach scrum, let alone umptious

 

[aLivingPheonix]

Happy Birthday/Happy 1k, OP!

OT: Probably the feeling of being on a plane headed towards London. Any time I go to London, I just get filled with a happiness that can't be matched by anything else. Ever.

'Appy buffdee! And 1000th post

Best experiences of my life have to be becoming a mum. Sure labour wasn't exactly a blast but I've got two beautiful girls now

It's not much but it was a great feeling.

 

[fjelding]

Im a simple man so heres a few:
1) Whenever I get Roastbeef....... [sub]mmmm roastbeef[/sub]
2) When I bought my house and could finally move out of my old flat (It was the size of a cardboard box).
3) Normally around the middle of the hill on my mountainboard.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Happy birthday, man! And congrats on the 1000 posts. Now, then...

I gotta say, I was so damn happy moving into my dorm on campus. I finally had my own room, nobody to bother me, all that good stuff. And my family isn't that far, so I visit frequently.

A small satisfying moment for me was when I tricked my brother into buying me a game for the PS3. He was in such a good mood, and got some extra cash, so I decided to exploit it. >

 

[Griphphin]

Happy birthday!
At this point in life (end of my first semester in college), either high school graduation considering the circumstances beforehand, or when I realized that I was actually ahead of my work in college for the first time and that if I stayed on top of it, I had this.

[Evilsanta]

Happy birthday! And congratsulations on the 1000 posts.

When i felt most happy huh? How about when i first saw Toy Story 2 on cinema with my mother and little brother.

 

[Brandon237]

Errr... meeting my gir- oh, you said you'd kill me. Whoops.
You didn't say anything about the first time we made out did you?

Okay, I will play along. Any good time spent with my current friends and girlfriend really, that is when I am most happy. If there are rollercoasters in the fray too, all the better.
