awe I wish I could meet a cute girl in a similar way to your story Riku. unfortunately most girls wouldn't think i play video games like sc/wow, and i have no idea where to find the ones who do too.

cute story it made me smile!

I'm just impressed that you saw a random open door during a prospective student day and went in. That's ballsy. (And I think you may have gotten a bit lucky that it was someone like Day[9] who would be so accepting.)

Anyway, that's an auspicious induction into SC/2 if ever I heard of one. Don't waste it--keep playing!

Thanks for all of the support, guys, I must admit it can be a bit scary posting a blog that is so personal!

As for being ballsy, the room doors at my college open out into a courtyard, so I could see into the room just by walking by. I didn't exactly sneak in or anything.

So it is day[9]... we should get him to explain this on his daily ^^

This is just a surreptitious attempt at getting Day[9] to comment here isn't it? He probably won't though, as he is taken :/

Funny thing: I saw some people in the audience at the NASL finals wearing Stags t-shirts. Claremont Starcraft players are out there.

1/5. I saw you complain about blog ratings so I'll tell you why. It was boring. Making thinly veiled references to day9 couldn't save it from being bad (in fact they made it worse, no one likes when some drops names for no reason other than attention). This sounded just like every other noob who wants to tell the world about how they started playing sc2, just search "hello" and you'll see what I'm talking about.

I've never rated your blog before but since I saw you complain I decided to give you justification.

Actually, some concerned/kind people PMed me and noted that my blog rating is so slow due to it's own type of popularity.

Afterall, you did take the time to read it, didn't you? And you even took the time to rate it!

Haters gonna hate, and now I have the official title of "Worst Blogger on TL" or "Most Hated Blogger on TL" or perhaps "TL Blog Dreadlord." Though "Scourgelord" has a better ring to it. Actually, since I am the worst, perhaps I go with "Lich Queen."

I will hunt down and embarrass ANYONE who tries to make that name stick!

Don't consider me a "hater", you are actually pretty amusing though perhaps not the way you intend. I find it very hard to hate people on the Internet (Torte de Lini can testify to my vacillating feelings regarding him). I was merely explaining why I 1 stared it because you previously complained. Honestly you shouldn't worry about blog ratings. Several people have 1 stared all my blogs and while it pissed me off at first I realized it doesn't really matter.

I think "Most Frequent Blogger on TL" is the most accurate title.

I'll admit it at first i was quite skeptical of you Riku..

"Who was this Riku person filling up the blog section, how dare she!?" i said to myself. "A blog a day? this sure is going to get old quick!", "Nobody can be that interesting!"

But as the days rolled over and the blogs kept coming... and coming.. and coming...

My view slowly started to change, at first i kept coming back for the comments.

I laughed to myself, "Man these 5 pages of comments are freaking hilarious." and thought, "who cares what she actually posts, the community is whats really making these blogs good." (ok this is a slight exaggeration)

As more and more time passed, i realized that although i still looked forwards to reading the comments the actual content was becoming more interesting to me. I found your tales of blizzcon to be pretty entertaining and now to cap it off you came out with this blog. Which made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, (and slightly jealous that you had such an awesome introduction to starcraft, but thats ok i'll forgive you for that one ).

I think.. i'm a convertee.

Bah, haters will be haters and raters will be raters (oh snap!) don't let it bother you Riku.

I do think, however, that every good blog needs a picture, if only one of a kitty totally unrelated to the story. Yeah, blogs nowadays certainly needs more kittens. Definitely.
