1) A nice pair of new jeans! YES.
2) A nice pair of outdoor gloves! YES.
3) A package of white briefs! I don't wear or even need these, WTF?
4) And a QWERTY keyboard. Because I use dvorak. A-ha! (That was in fact the motivation for the gift.)
I made a gingerbread house today (it's horrible) and even yet plan to give someone the gift of a movie ticket, in order to go see Avatar with them. It is a nice day. Merry to you all.
why do you used dvorak? I know typing would be faster but, wouldn't have you to reprogram the wasd movement for every game, and would 3D app keyboard shortcuts be messed up?
i hate christmas, with a passion. you got all those damn people wanting to spend time with you. fuck that shit. i want to be alone with my computer in my free time.
i thought i made it pretty clear that i don't want people to bother sending me junk that fills up my already limited space, and that i have to drag around when i am inevitably thrown out of my apartment AGAIN, but nooo. they send me socks, and shirts, and towels and other junk.
maybe they'll get it if i burn whatever they send me, and send the charred remains back to them.

Yes and yes. I can switch between dvorak and qwerty with a key combination, and often must do so in games that do not offer keymapping (such as a flash game that insists on using Z and X or WASD instead of something universal like the modifier and arrow keys). In general, however, I always set custom controls because I do not even use WASD; ESDF (.oeu for me) is logically superior, as there are more keys and it is the natural homerow position, etc... unless you guys are running forward with your ring fingers or something, I don't know. Oddly enough, I have only recently begun to think dvorak layout; hitting 'q' to turn on my flashlight in a game was too much of a habit, and as a consequence I have been binding it to where the q is in dvorak, AKA x. Super fascinating, I know.
As for 3D applications, I have comfortably reconfigured Silo, and just switch back to qwerty for everything else. I can still type on other people's keyboards, it just takes a little conscious effort. The old muscle memory is not fully erased, but the more dominantly used pathways can trigger accidentally if you aren't paying attention.
Why do I use dvorak? Always felt like it. Switched simultaneously with an online friend in October 2007, when she randomly expressed mutual interest; haven't gone back since. For reference, it wasn't hard to learn - layout memorized in a weekend, typing around 70-80wpm after a week or two. Having a friend with which to suck helped a ton.
Also, I'm stupidly long-winded at times, if this post isn't evidence enough. (What ever happened to creating art?) But if it reduces physical strain due to less ridiculous finger movement, I figure that is a worthy advantage...?
Whenever I load up a game and it has already configured things to function normally within dvorak - oddly enough, some games actually do this - my esteem for its developers (and the game) is liable to become automatically biased. In another universe entirely, I don't think there are any dvorak-friendly cellphones, which is lame.
tl;dr - if you don't like me, use z and x in your indie game.
I've always had interest in learning dvorak but I really didn't want to have to deal with those issues, I don't type correctly any way, even though I type at 40 wpm, its an odd mix of my left hand around the wasd keys and my over hand basically on the j k.
No, I got 3 coats when all I really needed was a new pair of boots, still jobless although hopefully that will change soon...
hear hear dejawolf, christmas sucks if ur not under 14, it's all very meh
I have a half sister, see, by Dad's second wife, who ran off with her when she was about three. Twenty-seven years later, she (the sister) gets in touch with our other half-sister (by Dad's third and current and forever type wife) via Facebook.
Two days before Christmas, Dad, Crystal (the youngest), and I got to be reunited with my sister, and her two boys. The look on Dad's face when he hugged his daughter for the first time in nearly three decades was awesome, and it was almost as great seeing him hug his grandkids for the first time.
Presents? Who needs 'em (though I won't say no). I have a family who loves each other.
Is it obvious that I've been caring more for history lately than for games?
Edit: I should point out that I asked for one book that I didn't get, and for staples, which my mother pointed out that I have plenty of, so yes, my dreams came true. Except that nobody is airing the Muppet Christmas Carol, which is the best Christmas movie ever.
