━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Talking with their friend, our group of four continue to talk as they continuously keep walking until they reach at their stop.

In front of them was a huge buliding that was probably expand from all sides. You and Gon both stare at buliding with amazement while Neon and Killua act causal.

"You really shops from this place?" Killua comment with disappointed tone like he was judging her,"Daddy says I can't spend much since it's my first time only." Neon reason with a sad tone and look.

Hearing their friends you and Gon were in total shock. So these two consider this place as cheap? Whispering to Gon in back, you both agree that luck was indeed on your side of these made friends with you.

"Why are you guys in back?" Killua casually ask as he glance at you both, who just chuckle in response and enter the place with them.

Looking all round with astonishment, you and Gon walks and there. Like a child exploring a new place.

"They are so cute~" Neon stated like a mother who is seeing her child take first step.

"Just get to the main stuff already!" Killua complained from behind.

"Sorry!" You and Gon said simultaneously as you both laugh on realising how you're acting.

"(Y/N)-chan! We are here!" Neon pulled you in a dressing store as Gon and Killua follow you guys behind with little hesitation.

A lady come to attend your group, she ask what type of clothing you're looking for,"Show me something fancy." Neon replied as buch of dresses were pulled and set in front of you.

"They all looks beautiful!" Gon comment as lady smile and thank him for praising their dresses.

"I would like something light colour." Dissatisfied with the dresses in front Neon start asking for specific clothings.

After hour or so she was finally able to select top seven dresses she likes but she was only allowed to buy three dresses so problem still remain.

"I will try everything one by one and you all give select." Neon playfully said as she enter dressing room while Killua mumbled something about 'how time wasting it is' and start looking at other dresses.

Noticing his stare on other dresses you decide to tease him little,"Any dresses caught your eyes Miss Killua?" You said in professional tone and speaking his name with feminine word, Killua throw you a glare to which you just giggled, not being affected by it.

"YAHOO~GUYS!" Neon make her enterance with dress as she moves around to let everyone have look over her dress.

"You look great!"

"Yeah Gon is right."

"Wait there is more!"

And just like this another hour was spend with Neon trying and showing her dresses and finally when she was done, now it time to choose three dresses she would buy.

"That blue one looks good."

You and Gon was helping Neon with full determination while Killua just glancing around. Bored from his previous activity he decided to help a bit too but was faced with straight rejection.

Killua was about to lash out on her to hurry up already but you back up his choice and now Neon was having second thoughts.

Grabbing dress from above she stares at it before she turns it towards you and nodded to herself about something.

"What?" You question feelings werid out by her.

"Try this (Y/N)-chan."

Feeling suprise by her request you tried to deny it but end it by giving up since only in small matter of time you know how much of a pushover she can be.

Entering dressing room while Neon cheer you from behind you close the door feeling amount of embarrassed.

Unbuttoning your school shirt you glance at beautiful dress once before.

"Geez this is gonna be embarrassing."

"I am r-ready." You said nervousness in your tone clear.

Neon cheer you to come out while Gon also join her inorder for you to feel comfortable as he knows how self conscious you become.

"K-keep it down you guys." You scolded them as door was open, revealing you in beautiful blue theme dress.

Neon and Gon look at you with excitement as they start complimenting you from all ground.

"It's good." Killua also commented along as you feel your cheeks getting hotter,"So good that even you look good in that dress."

That little─! You clutch your hand in front but you decided to act mature to not make scene around here,"If you don't got nothing much to say, just shut it."

"I was just saying what my eyes see."

"Then don't see if you don't like it."

You tried to end the mere bickering from turning into argument as you wonder why Killua got no sense of place and words.

You pout away with your last sentence as Neon pulled you aside and ask for attend to bring some accessories that will suit you.

"I think you were buying for yourself?" You tried to run away from her grip but it just get tighter.

"I just want to see how will you look."

Translation: I want to play dress with you.

Understanding her real motives you tried to move away but end up getting surrounded by some ladies with different accessory boxes in their hand.

"You boys meet us in half hour." Knowing boys will be just bored Neon ask them to explore the mall and meet later as she join others to select your accessories as your eyes turn into swirl from sudden crowd.

"Haha! It's so fun." Neon's laughter was last words she heard before she was tackle down.

[1 HOUR LATER]

"It take us more than we were ask to take."

"Bet with me, they will be not even finished yet."

Killua was indeed right you were still surrounded by ladies but young lad was also present there. Narrowing his eyes on how you were laughing at him, Killua feel his heart becoming sour.

"Learn, learn." Neon comments from behind as he throw her a glare which she ignored like usual.

Unlike Killua that young man is definitely skilled with females. So skilled that even you were charmed by him and Killua definitely not like that sight.

Calling his name Neon run towards them as he says something that make whole group laugh once again.

"Now, now ladies let's capture your beautiful figures." Applauding he make the group scattered as you and some other model start posing for pictures. Complimenting the duo with every shot, he keep on his work.

It is now that he realised unlike earlier when it was only change of dress, you were completely decorated from head to toe.

Narrowing his eye Killua stare at you. You were smiling more than he have ever see you. You look happy to be praised for your looks and all.

Praised?

❝"Even with this much words I am truly happy. Truly happy to hear him say that." Your pure aura of happiness was around you. Your eyes was down due to shyness, but your happy face was everything. And just like that everyone was in aw once again.❞

Sight of your smiling face appear in Killua's mind. He nodded like he understands something to himself.

Gon's voice brings him out of his daze as he compliments your look. That smile of yours becoming more brighter but soon was brought down by Killua's remark.

"It's not that good."

Through his words was netural and can't identify the thing he was commenting on but you still feel tug on your heart as you turn your face away.

"I don't remember asking you."

Tearing this eyes away he heard Gon scolding him but he wasn't listening. He don't know why did he comment that despite knowing you like being complimented, it's like his mouth doesn't want anything sweet to be said to her.

"No-no, young boy!" The photographer from earlier came on his side

"What is it?" Killua harshly question, you want to scold Killua for his tone but decided to remain silent and watch on things for now.

"When a girl dress-up you need to compliment and make her smile."

He move towards your side as placing one hand on shoulder and holding your other hand out, you feel like you were some rich noble girl like in those stories,"You are feeling happy right?"

No expecting direct question, you barely agreed as photographer smiles and removes his hand from your shoulder but unexpectedly uses other hand that was interlock with yours to spin you around and force your body to blend upon his other arm on side.

"Huh?"

"Regardless of your relationship

you always need to compliment

a girl if she happens to dress-up,

unconsciously or consciously

she is always craving for it."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Okay so this is just a part from a story in my Wattpad drafts. Honestly even back I was rarely able to write but when I did it was sure worth to read once.😔🖐️

I always saw Killua as someone who will stay tsundere in relationship so I feel regardless of how I will write reader's personality he will stay TSUNDERE. (My Headcannon is Killua is like Akkun from My Sweet Turant in relationships, ehehe)

anywayssss you might find some minor errors or things that don't make sense, feel free to point it so I can correct it :3

Also remember my online girlies who likes to spend their time on social media away from real life, you are perfect and cutie pookie, so always believe and love yourself (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

slow dancing in the dark

request; none! just me indulging in self-induced fantasies (listen to the album while reading, save the song for last) ღ

summary; you’ve been day-dreaming about this moment since middle school, and he flies out in your first year of college to make it true.

word count; 1994™

warnings; swearing, someone almost falls off the roof.

     OIKAWA TOORU. MANY know him as the previous setter for aoba johsai’s volleyball team, the handsome captain with a fanclub (wherever he goes), or even the grand king. you know him as your up-to-no-good, determined, and impulsive best friend.

the one you’ve been in love with on-and-off since middle school, that is. iwaizumi is the last to figure it out, but scolds you for it the most.

how can you not fall in love with those beautiful brown eyes? especially when they’ve come all the way to tokyo, and currently reside on the rooftop of your dorm, over a smug smile.

your groceries slip, and you almost slip trying to catch them. your first instinct is to scold him, yell at him because he might slip, or that he’ll injure his knee.

how’d he even get there in the first place? how’d you even get there in the first place? let’s back track a little, shall we?

     “(Y/N),” YOUR ROOMATE, kiyoko calls. “we don’t have any food in the fridge. it’s your turn to go grocery shopping.”

“i’ll go tomorrow, i promise!” you answer, being too engrossed in your music to even think about doing anything else. “can’t you see i’m working?”

“you said that yesterday." kiyoko deadpans. "besides, you’re just listening to ‘BALLADS 1′ on repeat. go buy the groceries.”

“you’re too cruel, yoko-chan.” you grumble, pausing the music you’ve been annoying kiyoko with.

you walk into your room — well, shared room, considering the dorms consist of one bedroom each — and change. you decide to second guess your outfit, knowing there was no one you’ll want to impress in the middle of the night at the grocery store.

you grab your phone and wallet, slipping your device into the pocket of your pants and yelling one last annoying phrase to kiyoko before closing the door, knowing she’ll lock it after you.

the two of you live on the second floor dorms, so the walk to the exit was much longer than it was from the first floor. it only took a few steps away from the stairs before you hear a buzz from your phone.

kiyoko (❁´◡`❁)

8:57 PM

Eggs, toast, milk, cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, rice.

me

8:58 PM

is that all?

kiyoko (❁´◡`❁)

8:58 PM

No, just all I can remember off the top of my head.

me

8:58 PM

don’t tell me there’s more-

kiyoko (❁´◡`❁)

8:59

Start capitalizing your words and I’ll tell you.

me

8:59 PM

but capitals arent pretty!

kiyoko (❁´◡`❁)

8:59 PM

Aren’t*

Aren’t you an English major? Why do you still type like this?

me

9:00 PM

do you want groceries?

kiyoko (❁´◡`❁)

9:00 PM

Do you want to kicked out? I can tell the headmaster who has actually paid  rent for last month...

me

9:00 PM

No ma’am, I apologize for breathing your air.

kiyoko (❁´◡`❁)

9:01 PM

as you should.

you chuckle at the irony, tucking your phone back into your pants as you assume that kiyoko would send you the rest of the list after checking the contents of your mostly-empty kitchen.

you pick out the groceries she sent you, and sure enough, get another list, which you also buy. you stand in the checkout lane, scanning and paying for all of your items.

you can’t help but notice the air around you get chilly, but that doesn’t matter. you’re almost home, where kiyoko has promised a warm dinner with the ingredients you bought.

you turn around the corner, navigating the ever-long rows and columns of dormitories of your university. once you find yours, your grip loosens on the bags.

oikawa tooru. many know him as the previous setter for aoba johsai’s volleyball team, the handsome captain with a fanclub (wherever he goes), or even the grand king. you know him as the dumbass, standing on the rooftop of your dorm, “yahoo, (Y/N)-chan!”

     “WHAT THE HELL?” you ask, though it was more like a question for yourself. 

“you’re going to get cold in that t-shirt, (Y/N)-chan!” he answers, his teeth shining through his smile.

maybe you should have dressed to impress, instead of going out looking like you've just rolled out of bed.

“what are you doing here?” you ask, long forgetting the groceries set on the floor. “aren’t you supposed to be in argentina?”

“ah, we got an early vacation.”

“in the middle of fall? you just arrived, like, two months ago.”

“yeah.”

“how long have you been in japan?”

“since this morning.”

“aren’t you tired?”

“no, not much.”

that wasn’t a lie. the adrenaline in oikawa’s veins was more than enough to keep him awake.

“why are you on the roof?”

“so that i could look for you.”

“how’d you even get up?”

“i climbed the balconies.”

“do you know how to get down?”

“um...”

“dumbass...” you facepalm, before climbing the balconies to make your way up to him. “you’re the stupidest person i know, you know?”

he gives out his hand to help pull you up.

“but you love me, (Y/N)-chan!”

“sadly...” you mumble. “you can’t even last two months without me or iwaizumi keeping you in check.”

“take a seat.” he says, patting the spot on the roof next to him.

“just so you know, my roommate is still awake, so if i fall, she’ll avenge me.”

“i’m well aware.” he chuckles, his side profile glistening in the moonlight. “are you cold?”

“no.” you lie, teeth clattering and arms frozen to the touch.

he wordlessly takes off his jacket, draping it over your arms. “i have a hoodie on underneath.” you nod.

“so, why’d the grand king come to visit me of all people?” you giggle, to let him know you were joking.

“i missed you.” he says, his playful tone no more.

“you met up with iwaizumi this morning, right?” you clear your throat, trying to diminish any hope of the love you held for him being reciprocated.

“yeah, but just for a bit. i came to japan because i wanted to talk to you.”

“about what?”

“dance with me, (Y/N)-chan.”

you’re confused, scared of falling off the roof, and freezing.

“okay.”

he stands, moving higher up for a smaller chance of falling off. he extends his arm to you, the look of plain serendipity on his face. you grasp his fingers in yours, feeling them hoist you up close to him.

since the dorms only consist of two floors each, the rooftops were mostly flat, making it easier to maneuver on them.

you could faintly hear the music you’d been listening to before you’d left your flat. you could’ve sworn you’d turned it off.

“i didn’t know they taught slow dancing in argentina.” your voice was low, and he only hears it because he was that close.

“you’d be surprised.” he chuckles, continuing to dance with you.

you forgot about the jacket on your shoulders until it almost falls off, being whisked away by the light breeze of the night.

you catch it, and oikawa catches you.

the jacket hangs off of your hand loosely as your grasp on it tightens. oikawa’s grasp around your own wrist tightens, as he pulls you close to his chest.

an arm around your head, the other around your back, he says, “i love you, (Y/N)-chan.”

you turn to face him, heart pounding in your chest as your mind swells with disappointment. 

i wasn’t going to get my hopes up.

“i know, tooru.”

“no,” he holds you tighter. “you don’t.”

you try to look up at his face, but his hold stays strong.

“just let me have this, yeah?”

you nod, staying silent.

“it’s not the type of love i have for iwaizumi, and hopefully not the type of love you have for iwaizumi.” he cards his fingers through your hair. “i think about you all the time, about how it’d be like to hold you. to see your smile everyday. to know you’d be there for me, and i’d be there for you.”

“but i am?” you look up at him.

his face is a mix of something melancholic and something hopeful.

“i think about how it’s be like to call you mine.”

you don’t say anything, instead trying to stop the overflowing tears that pool in the corners if your eyes.

“you can’t just say that!”

he stays quiet, his grip on your biceps staying firm. you were sobbing.

“y-you can’t just come t-to tokyo, a-all the way fr-from argentina, to t-tell me that you love me!”

you look at him. you can’t help but think your tears make you unattractive, but that doesn't matter to him.

“not after all these years...” you sniffle. “this better not be one of your stupid jokes, shittykawa!” you point a finger at his chest and continue to poke. “i’ve been in love with your dumbass since fucking middle school, you idiot! do you know how many times i’ve day-dreamed about you saying those words to me?”

his eyes widen, looking down at your shorter figure.

“yeah, stupid! even coach irihata knew! i had to bribe kunimi and ask for kindaichi’s help to keep him quiet!”

“well, i don’t think an impulsive plane ticket could make up for that,” he says. “but let’s make up for lost time?”

you cross your arms, pouting as you look off to the side. he has to admit, you look adorable. he moves his arms up to your shoulders, wrapping them around your back.

“wh-what are you doing?” you ask.

he tackles you, laying over you as his arms move beside you. your faces were mere inches apart.

“my knee hurts from all that dancing, (Y/N)-chan.”

you know he’s lying, but you’ll be lying if you say you don’t like the proximity.

has the music always been this loud?

“this is your favourite song, isn’t it?”

you nod, your face flushed. you can’t help but sneak a small peak at his lips.

he notices. “hey, (Y/N)-chan?”

“yeah, tooru?”

“kiss me.”

“h-huh?!”

“timid as always, aren’t you?” he shakes his head as he chuckles, leaning in slowly.

you close your eyes, awaiting the contact of his lips against yours.

they were soft, almost as soft as the moon made them out to be under its reflection.

more than that — they felt so right against yours.

extra:

     IT IS AROUND midnight when you get back to your dorm, the grocery bags are messy and your skin is red from the cold. kiyoko doesn’t seem to mind instead telling you to place them on the table and offers you a cup of tea.

“hey, yoko?” you ask, keeping the tea close to you as a second source of warmth.

“yeah?” she answers, taking the groceries.

“you didn’t happen to be playing ‘BALLADS 1′ while i was gone, where you?” you sip on the tea, almost downing half of it in one sip.

“i don’t recall doing so, no.” she turns to the sink to wash the rice, and you can see the smile on her face despite her attempts to hide it.

you finish the rest of your tea, hugging her from behind as you place the cup in the sink.

“well, tooru told me everything! he told me you were the one who told him where to find the dorm, and when to come. you even set me out to buy groceries just to find him on the roof. you do have a soft spot for me after all!”

she chuckles, your arms still around her. “did he tell you about how i emailed your professor for an extension on your essay?”

“you did?!” you beam at her. “what’d he say?”

“he said you have until friday, so you better spend the next few days with your boyfriend and get right back to school afterwards, okay?”

“yes ma’am!” you smile widely, dashing out the door to find a certain brown-haired setter.

request. Hi hello I've never requested anything so I'm sorry if I seem unpolite but could you maybe write something with oikawa, bokuto or kuroo with male reader that usually is silent but has been under a lot of stress and started to go down the old roads of not eating? If you don't want to write it thats okey, its a sensitive topic and I saw in your rules you don't write suicidal stuff and this seems close to that. I wish you good day or night, I really enjoy ur writing and probably had recently spammed ur inbox while hyperfixating at ur blog a bit too much haha - anon

a/n. hello !! you’re totally fine you’re not impolite in the slightest! thank you for requesting!

(btw i only did oikawa since i haven’t written for him yet but just send in another ask if you want another character :) )

► now playing...

- genre. angst to comfort

- pairing. oikawa x male reader

- warnings. mentions of eating disorders, swearing

- word count. 1.3k+

you were, and always have been, one of the smartest of all your classes. however, you were about to be kicked out of the top spot by none other than aoba johsai’s volleyball team captain. said volleyball captain never talked to you, and you were perfectly fine with that. it’s not like you were asking to be attacked by all of his fans. however, one day your perfect world of never having to talk to the chocolate-haired boy came crashing down.

“oi, l/n-san, what’s up with those bags under your eyes? are you getting enough sleep? are you drinking enough water?” you stared at the boy in front of you, with his hand placed on both hips. you quirked your eyebrows at him, eliciting a chuckle from the boy. “hellooo~” he squatted in front of your desk, waving his hand in front of your face. 

alongside the title of being known as the smartest of the class, you were also extremely quiet. you didn’t find it necessary to talk to each person in your class, so you kept up the act of going to school by yourself, studying in the classroom after school alone, and walking home. of course, you had one or two acquaintances, but outside of them you never felt the need to talk to others. 

“yahoo~” oikawa continued getting closer to your face, making you lean back in mock disgust. “what? yeah, i’m fine.” oikawa’s eyes widened in surprise, “oh! so he can speak!” you rolled your eyes, “of course i can talk, i’m not a mute.” the chocolate-haired boy stood up, shaking his head while chuckling. “i never pegged you as the sassy type, l/n-san. i like it!” 

did i forget to mention that you used to have a crush on the boy standing in front of you? key words: used to. after finding out how many people were after him, you quickly lost interest, investing your time in studying rather than watching his volleyball games. 

“i haven’t seen you around as much anymore, l/n-san. why did you stop coming to our games?” wait what? he noticed? “of course i noticed. you came to each one, silly.” you were taken aback once you realized you had thought out loud. oikawa noticed your shocked face and continued laughing. “i liked seeing you around. it made me want to play better,” oikawa sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.

standing up, you collected your notebook and papers, shaking your head. “you’re kidding.” as you continued stuffing your materials into your bag, oikawa stood frozen. “i’m not! i think of you as my lucky charm.” you squinted your eyes at him, making him chuckle for the umpteenth time that day. 

“oi! shittykawa, hurry! coach is gonna make all of us run extra laps if our lazy captain is late!” iwaizumi popped his head into the classroom, startling the two of you. “ahhh~ iwa-chan. so aggressive! i was only talking to l/n-san! hopefully he’ll be watching our match tomorrow,” oikawa turned to you with a wink. with that, the pair left the classroom, both of them waving goodbye. you sighed, slinging your bag over your shoulder and walking home alone.

the way tooru oikawa had asked you out was...awkward to say the least. just as he predicted, you went to one of aoba johsai’s matches for the first time in a while.

as you were trying to get through the door, you were instantly bombarded by some of oikawa’s fans. “why is oikawa talking about you so much?” a plethora of comments and insults were thrown your way, overwhelming you quickly. 

“now, now~, let’s not attack my boyfriend like that,” oikawa slung an arm over your shoulder, shaking his head at the crowd in front of you. “so he actually is your boyfriend?” one of the girls whined exaggeratingly. you stared with wide eyes at the boy next to you as he nodded his head, humming. “yep. i would appreciate it if all of you would stop attacking him. pretty please,” oikawa said menacingly. 

the crowd quickly dispersed leaving the two of you alone at the side of the gym. “b-boyfriend?” you asked, causing him to whip his head to face yours. “sorry! i wanted them to leave you alone. if you’re uncomfortable, i apologize,” he clapped his hands in front of his face, bowing slightly. 

“i don’t mind,” you muttered, causing him to snap his eyes open. the two of you stared at each other in silence. oikawa looked away, clearing his throat. “you don’t mind, huh?” he turned his eyes to lock onto yours, a smirk making its way onto his face. you nodded confidently. he chuckled while shaking his head. “you shouldn’t lead someone on like that, l/n-san. you know i like you.”

your back straightened at his words, and your eyebrows furrowed. he noticed your face and instantly jumped to defend himself. “i’m always flirting with you! you couldn’t have not realized,” he mumbled, placing his hand over his mouth. “i’ve never dated anyone,” you admitted. as he stared into your eyes, you felt your face growing warm. “i-i mean sure i’ve liked people but i’ve never actually been anyone’s boyfriend-” 

“be mine,” oikawa cut you off. even iwaizumi, who was coming to smack oikawa on the back of his head to get him back onto the court, stopped in his tracks. “i...uhm...sure,” you whispered, nodding your head slowly. oikawa let out a breath he didn’t even realize he was holding in. “i’ll walk you home after the match, f/n-chan,” he winked. 

things were smooth sailing between the two of you for a while. your personalities balanced each other out perfectly, and you were a great help with oikawa’s inferiority issues. you never found it tiring how many times you had to reassure him that he’s doing the best he can and that you’re proud of him. 

oikawa constantly reminded you how many times he thought your quiet personality and unbothered demeanor was something he admired. the two of your said your first ‘i love you’ a week ago after four months of being together. 

however, things began changing. exams were approaching rapidly and you felt yourself losing your grip on life. you began pulling all-nighters to study, you began showing up to classes late, and you started to miss some of oikawa’s games to study more in the library. oikawa was growing disappointed and hurt, until he saw the dark bags under your eyes and the way you seemed to avoid food at all costs.

“f/n-chan! eat this!” oikawa held his chopsticks out with a piece of egg. “say ahhhh~” you were quick to cut him off with your hand, not sparing him a glance. your eyes were glued to your textbook, and you didn’t notice the way oikawa’s face fell.

“i know you’re not eating, f/n.”

you snapped your head to stare into oikawa’s brown eyes. “what?” you whispered. “come on f/n, i might be caught up in volleyball most of the time but i’m not an idiot.” 

you were about to snap back at him until he leaned in to kiss your forehead. “can we go back to my house after school to make some milk bread? i promise you’ll like it,” he whispered, his forehead resting on yours. 

you felt your eyes welling up with tears, and he went to shush you as you began to sob. “i’m sorry, tooru.” he closed his eyes and ran his hands through your hair, still shushing you. “don’t be. i know how busy you are with studying and i think that’s amazing. you’re going to ace the exam. but, in order to keep your body healthy, you need to eat and drink water. and sleep,” he chuckled, rubbing his middle and forefinger over the bags underneath your eyes. 

you were quick to take him up on his offer of making his favourite food. he clapped his hands in delight, and went to take his seat as the teacher walked back in. he turned around to wink at you, making you giggle. ‘thank you,’ you mouthed to him, eliciting a smile from your boyfriend.

[lovemesomesurveys]

Have you always known what you've wanted to do with your life, career-wise?  I thought I did. My freshman year in high school I learned what psychology was after having a health and psychology class and decided then it was something I wanted to pursue. Prior to that I knew I wanted to help people, but I was thinking like a counselor. I was always the friend people came to if they needed advice or just someone to talk to. In middle school I remember going on those AOL teen message boards and offering advice there. I loved trying to help people and being the one to lend an ear. In college I majored in psych and obtained my BA. And then that was it.  I have no plans or interest in pursuing anything further, so obviously a psychologist isn’t in the cards anymore.  I honestly have no idea what I want to do career wise. 

If you found out you couldn't bear children, would you be willing to adopt? I can’t have kids, but I also don’t want any.

Would you stay at a haunted hotel? Nope.

[courage-a-word-of-justice]

Tsukigairei 5 | Kado 5 | Grimoire of Zero 5 | Boku no Hero Academia 19 | Royal Tutor 6

Tsukigakirei 5

Ep 6’s title is “Run, Melos!” (走れ、メロス！), a Dazai work.

Bad CGI strikes again.

Oh, I forgot to mention this last time when I explained this ep’s title, but Kokoro means “heart” for those of you that don’t know. That’s its literal meaning, though. It can mean a lot more than that.

That taiko near Kotaro (when he drinks his Pepsi) seems to be CGI.

Glasses guy is basically an older Kotaro…I know I’ll have problems telling the difference between them…

Did they pay Yahoo! for this product placement?

One of Kotaro’s posters seems to be about Muhammad Ali.

Having the screen intentionally the wrong orientation really is one small detail I appreciate from this show, like what I said with Boku no Hero Academia a bit back.

I can feel Kotaro’s heart sinking as student council pres calls him “Curly-kun”. I do admit I have done this sort of thing in the past to someone though (what Akane’s doing), so maybe I shouldn’t be feeling it.

There’s a book called “Delicious Curry” on one shelf, but it has a small green box near the “delicious”. I heard today that mango jam tastes good in curry, as a side note.

I guess it’s well established by now that both members of the couple will have romantic rivals, but only now is their potential to disrupt the couple actually coming in…just goes to show you how much I prefer Ore Monogatari! to this stuff, eh?

That cram school Kotaro goes to reminds me of one I used to go to on Friday nights. Again, the atmosphere’s really been captured by Tsukigakirei and that’s why I’m watching.

More money = more dates and vice versa. That’s kinda obvious if you think about it.

I LOLled at how Akane says she used Maps. Kids these days can’t get around with an ol’ paper map, it seems.

When Kotaro looks at Akane’s face, I remember some words from Arata (ReLIFE) – “You want to hold hands. You want to kiss her…” etc. etc.

I know how Japan is with these things (hugging, kissing etc.) – more so than the West – but still, get a move on, kiddos!

Kado 5

Wow, if Kado appeared on the 27th and it’s the 30th, it’s 3 days in 4 episodes.

The camera guy falling over was a laugh, at least.

Why is there fanservice of an army guy in Kado? (That’s something I never thought I’d say…) Please get some clothes on, (army) man.

Whatever you do, Kanata, please don’t touch Shun-she ate Shunina’s hand?

Kanata’s eating Shunina’s hand, and yet he deems her “appropriate”? *eyebrow raised*

Mifune uses a Windows OS. Well, it looks mostly like a Windows 7/8/8.1.

The slow pan really showed how they cut corners…

Notice Shunina has his disembodied hand on the handrest. It could be a sign he’s getting used to humanity.

If Kanata’s investigating placement of the Wam, I have the feeling this has to do with quantum physics.

Spinodal decomposition.

The mini-Kado explosion was so pretty! Like real fireworks!

Saraka’s eyes are really off model in this ep, eh?

Knowing how many people have died as a result of nuclear fallout and nuclear wars, Wam fighting would involve more than just one death, Shunina. Just a note.

It’s not 5 days ago, it’s 3. Didn’t I just calculate that? (Assuming it’s still the 30th of July, that is.)

I have a bad feeling about this…

I’m actually laughing right here. Everyone’s going “ohmigawd!!!”, even the UN. I did see a tweet saying you could make a Wam prior to watching this ep, but I never knew they meant it this literally. As for deciphering Kanata’s words (if they still need deciphering), I think Wam are like mini black holes in reverse...

Grimoire of Zero 5

I think they’re trying to be mournful, but when you have a guy suffocated by a cube of soil? That’s actually pretty funny. *cue Dumb Ways to Die*

They’ve never answered this, but why does Zero not have a band around her neck?

The still shots are probably the most striking. Certainly, there’s only been a ebelboar and a Mercenary one, but man, they look great.

The final spread has never been on a double page before…clearly this is ramping itself up. It looks like an ending…in the middle of what appears to be a 12 episode series. Unless the staff have something even better up their sleeves for the actual climax, I’m not sure this show is going to be a worthwhile investment from now on.

Boku no Hero Academia 19

It’s quite clear even though he’s being trained to surpass All Might, Shouto still admires the top hero, eh?

Notice Kaminari is eating a battery pack of some sort.

I’ve never seen meta go against someone like Todoroki…(re: Midoriya’s comment about how he’s normally the main character of a manga).

Chanbara. It’s the kind of thing you get with Rurouni Kenshin, apparently.

Aoyama (is that sparkly bellybutton guy’s name?) got his face squashed when Ashido came into the screen…

Todoroki looks a tonne like Yato (Noragami) if viewed from certain angles and not taking colour into account…

Kyouka isn’t even particpating in the cheerleading. That’s so her.

Basically, All Might is saying, “Fake it until you make it.”

Seiji Mizushima’s on econte (sorry, I don’t know what econte translates to)? Oh my glob! I’m not good with directors, but I know that name (from ConRevo)!

Royal Tutor 6

Einspanner. Apparently, it’s a kind of Viennese coffee.

Kapuziner? Hmm…lessee. Google-sensei’ results say it’s “a small black coffee with a bit of whipped cream…so that the coffee takes on the color of a monks hood” (sic).

Dobos torte. Apparently it’s topped with caramel…*drools* *retracts drool* But I ate not too long ago, so…on with the show!

Viktor is so hot when he’s disappointed! Agh! *almost dies from fangirling*

Richard…wait, I get it, actually. Licht is “ri-hi-to”, therefore Richard is “ri-chaa-do” (or something like that, or Richie (similar to what he wanted the professor to call him when he was introduced) for short.

Ooh. That pool shot took my heart away too. Licht really does take after his dad, to the point where I like him with a ponytail, but without the glasses. (His annoying comments from episodes past are still unforgivable, though.)

The “dramatic hair drop” thing really works on Licht. I can actually feel suspense from it.

Dangit, yaoi hands! You ruined my perfect image of the king!

I never saw that coming. What a turn of events, to see the king working in a café. Come to think of it, I once tried to write a story where a fallen angel and a constellation spirit work in a café (it was called Zodiac Conspiracy) but I’ve never worked in a café, so it fell through rather quickly.

The off model in this episode really snaps you out of the cosy, fun mood of this episode. It’s simultaneously the best (because it doesn’t debase women) and the worst (because I think this is the worst effort they’ve made with being on model so far in this show).

Gotta love a good man in a good suit.

I’m LOLling so hard. It’s like Viktor’s a host, not a waiter! Then again, I feel (somewhat) like they’re trying to capitalise on the Black Butler movie (Atlantic) that’s coming out soon and because that’s meant to be a (SPOILERS for non-manga readers! -> )big zombies-on-a-ship spectacle, they’re filling up that now vacant space with actual butlering from the closest subsitute...this show.

A franziskaner appears to be a type of beer, while a linzertorte is a latticed pie-thingy.

That “puis-je vous aider?” line appears to be French for “how can I help you?” (says Google Translate). By the same token, “ou est la gare?” is “where is the station?” and “je vais vous dessiner un plan” is “I will draw you a map”. (You can tell I don’t speak French…)

That Licht pose reminds me of one taken in Atarimae Taisou (it’s at the end of every exercise in that video, so you won’t miss it!), which I saw a few days ago but suddenly it got stuck in my head today…argh.

So…it’s yet another misunderstanding? I can see why people fall out of love with this show, but I’m still a firm enough fan of it that I’m sticking around with it…until the anime’s end, at the very least.

Shouldn’t Licht put his glasses back on and his hair back to a ponytail????

Oh yes, while I was reading this, I remembered something I forgot to mention earlier. Why was Viktor, a person who Heine may or may not have only had contact through mail, the first person Heine could trust? Is Heine from a criminal background, a loner who lived in a cave (like Grimoire of Zero’s title character) or something? (…Okay, I joke about the cave, but otherwise I’m serious.)

STARTUPS AND TEST

You just have to do something grand or heroic about starting a startup generally. Most technologies evolve a good deal of that spirit is, fortunately, preserved in macros. Not likely. Things. Well, obviously overtly sexy applications like stealth planes or special effects software would be interesting to start viewing startup ideas this way, because now that there are a couple catches.1 Users don't know what we're going to do.2 The nature of the business means that you have to consciously force yourself to keep looking. The techniques for dealing with detail. There's no controversy about which idea is most controversial: the suggestion that variation in wealth was in itself a good thing: if your society has no variation in productivity increases with technology, then the contribution of the most admired Web 2. So I recommend being good.3

To change the interface both have to agree to change it at once. Ideally, you are getting together with a lot of I/O. More diffident founders ask Will you try our beta?4 I'm not sure why, but it seems very unlikely.5 For example, we seem to have been the most common types of fluff links are banned as off-topic. Either it's something they felt they had to make concessions. You want them to feel this way about the software they're writing for you. The defense of mosquitos, as a species, is that lawyers at some point.6 So long as you're not being paid to. I'll tell you why.7 Which puts us in a weird situation: we don't know who our heroes should be. If wealth means what people want.

When you only have a small number of early adopters. So a town that has attractions other than the university. There's no controversy about which idea is most controversial: the suggestion that variation in wealth. If you want a recipe for a startup to do this by counting the occurrences of tokens in the nonspam corpus double.8 Nothing will teach you about angel investing like experience. No web startup does. If you want to create a technology hub: rich people and nerds. Decreasing economic inequality means eliminating startups.9 There are two main kinds of badness in comments: meanness and stupidity. Ditto for investors. Someone graduating from college thinks, and is told, that he needs to get a cozy, tenured research job.

If the spammers are careful about the headers and use a fresh url, there is not a zero sum game.10 As well as avoiding bullshit one should actively seek out things that matter. It's a lot more highly of Lisp if Common Lisp had powerful string libraries and can talk to the operating system. Why work on problems few care much about and no one will pay for.11 There is a kind of shorthand: money is a way of saving you work, not something you work despite. So although there may be, in certain specific moments like your family, this month a fixed amount of wealth in the world. The variation between programmers. Which is not to save them from being disappointed when things fall through.

So governments that forbid you to accumulate wealth are in effect decreeing that you work slowly.12 And during the Renaissance, journeymen from northern Europe were often employed to do the most disgusting sort of work, like spamming, or starting a company whose only purpose is patent litigation. But they are relentlessly resourceful. There is a surprising lack of correlation between how hot a deal a startup is, economically: a way of telling you what to do if you're not a hacker, you can't start a startup by just writing some clever software, putting it on a server somewhere, and watching the money roll in—without ever having to talk to the founders of the next Google. You have to be just a model; you can refine it into the finished product.13 Airbnb is a classic example of the dangers of deciding what programmers are allowed to want.14 You have to go out of business.15 The only way a startup can have any leverage in a deal is genuinely not to need it. Could a language with Lisp's syntax, or more precisely, preorders has helped a lot. Organic growth seems to yield better technology and richer founders than the big bang method.16 Forty-two years later, Kleiner Perkins funded Google, and the study he quoted was published in 1968. So the test of mattering to hackers.17

5% of the company if he'd let us have it. It's the junk food of experience.18 A is unheard-of.19 You have to be optimistic about what you can see people doing.20 He returned to Harvard for the fall semester after starting Microsoft. If you plan to get rich, how would you do it? The cartoon strip Dilbert has a lot to say about programming languages. But people don't.

All the great hackers I know despise them. It has sometimes been said that Lisp should use first and rest instead of car and cdr often are, in successive lines. Bigger companies solve the problem by partitioning the company.21 To be attractive to hackers, and learning what they want. Why does this happen? They'll like you even better when you improve your system, even if it is harder to get from zero to twenty than from twenty to a thousand. You could make a great city anywhere, if you want to stop too, because doing deals is a pain in the ass.22 Imagine if you were in the middle of Antarctica, where there is nothing in spam-of-the-envelope calculations, this one wasn't designed for the world we now live in.23 Ditto for many other kinds of companies that don't make anything out of silicon, there always seem to be about technology. Any startup that could be described as a pie. In fact, this is the reason that high-tech startup is almost redundant. Consulting is the canonical example of work that doesn't scale.

You could have both now. I look them straight in the eye and say I'm designing a new kind of store. You don't want small in the sense that the measure of good design together, but within each individual project, one person has to be pierced too. But you can run into a Big Cheese I knew from the old days in the Yahoo cafeteria a few months later will depend more on energy and imagination than any kind of special training. If there were a word that meant the opposite of hapless, that would be enough to get the effect of such external factors on the popularity of a programming language is not the main reason Lisp isn't currently popular. You can stick instances of good design can be derived, and around which most design issues center. If you can't find an exact match for a token, treat it as if it were hard to reproduce in other countries, because you couldn't reproduce it in most of our lives when the days go by in a blur, and almost none for talking to the operating system.24 Things are different now, of course.25 When we talk to founders about good and bad investors, one of the most famous scientists seem to have made that deal, though perhaps none of them had never seen the Web before we came to tell them why they should be on it. It's just a more extreme variant where you don't just use your software, but individual hackers won't, and it's the hackers you need to figure it out. 5% of the company.26 But by no means impossible.

Notes

While environmental costs should be taken into account, they have less room to avoid companies that we wrote in verse. I know, Lisp code. This seems unlikely that religion will be a hot deal, I advised avoiding Javascript.

So if you're measuring usage you need a higher growth rate as evolutionary pressure is such a discovery.

A lot of legal business. Whereas the activation energy required to notice when it's aligned with some axe the audience already has to be limits on the basis of intelligence. The unintended consequence is that the web. Earlier he'd had in grad school you always feel you should always absolutely refuse to give up more than the don't-be startup founders is how much effort on sales.

After a bruising fight he escaped with a product of some brilliant initial idea. The lowest point occurred when marginal income tax rates were highest: 14. Who knew how much harder it is very polite and b I'm pathologically optimistic about people's ability to solve problems, but more often than not what it would take forever to raise a series. But the time it would literally take forever in the other seed firms always find is that they take away with the VC declines to participate in the US News list is meaningful is precisely my point.

Looking at the time it takes more than just reconstructing word boundaries; spammers both add xHot nPorn cSite and omit P rn letters. So whatever market you're in the case. I'm guessing the next uptick after that, in one of them is that the only one restaurant left on the firm's site, June 2004: While the space of careers does.

He couldn't even afford a monitor.

When you had in school, and only incidentally to tell VCs early on? But Goldin and Margo think market forces in the U.

They live in a large pizza and found an open booth. There are some whose definition of property. They did try to ensure none of your last funding round. In practice formal logic is not entirely a coincidence, because the publishers exert so much that they're all that value, don't even try.

If he's bad at it he'll work very hard to think about, just as Europeans finished assimilating classical science. To use this technique, you'll usually do best to err on the partner you talk to an adult. So how do you know the answer is no personnel department, and know the actual server in order to make money off their median investments. Corollary: Avoid starting a startup was a new airport.

Emmett Shear, and then a block or so you can stick even more vice versa: the process of selling things to be low. The aim of such regulations is to be free to work with the money they receive represents wealth—that economic inequality is really about poverty.

Adam Smith Wealth of Nations, v: i mentions several that tried to raise money succeeded, and it has about the other.

And for those founders. One great advantage of startups have over established companies can't compete on price, and philosophy the imprecise half.

That's probably too much to generalize.

The root of the marks of a social network for pet owners is a sufficiently identifiable style, you can make better chairs or knives, crucibles or church organs, than to call all our lies lies. If I paint someone's house, the bad VCs fail to mention a few actual winners emerge with hyperlinear certainty. You've gone from guest to servant.

But there's a continuum here. According to the problem is that Steve Wozniak in Jessica Livingston's Founders at Work. He, like speculators, that is a trailing indicator in any era if people are trying to make more money.

One father told me: Another approach would be very promising, because what they're getting, so I called to check and in a bug. But in this new world.

Any plan in 2001, but this could be overcome by changing the shape of the 70s never drew this curve.

If that were the people worth impressing already judge you more inequality. Which is why hackers give you more than clumsy efforts to manipulate them. The rest exist to this day, thirty years later. If you want to be evidence of a place to exchange views.

Perhaps this is a cause for optimism: American graduates have more money was the ads they show first. We once put up posters around Harvard saying Did you just get kicked out for here, since 95% of the false positives out of school. Comments at the mercy of circumstances: court decisions striking down state anti-dilution, which was open to newcomers because it is to raise money.

A larger set of good startups that are up-front capital intensive to founders. It would be reluctant to start with consumer electronics and to a VC who read it ever wished it longer. It's sometimes argued that we should, because outsourcing it will seem dumb in 100 years ago.

To help clarify the matter, get rid of everyone else and put our worker on a saturday, he took another year off and went to get going, and astronomy. Steven Hauser.

For example, would be to say for sure whether, e. In practice it's more like determination is proportionate to wd m-k w-d n, where you currently are. By Paleolithic standards, technology evolved at a middle ground. We see incumbents suppressing competitors via regulations or patent suits, we love big juicy lumbar disc herniations, but bickering at several hundred dollars an hour most people are immune to the minimum you need to circle back with a clear plan for the reader: rephrase that thought to please the same price as the first question is to carry a beeper?

I was a special recipient of favour, being a doctor. When investors can't make up the same way a bibilical literalist is committed to believing anything in particular took bribery to the ideal of a liberal education than past generations have.

Which helps explain why there are not written by the regular news reporters. He devoted much of the things we focus on growth instead of bookmarking.

You can retroactively describe any made-up idea as an adult. They're still deciding, which made it possible to transmute lead into gold though not economically at current energy prices, but suburbs are so intellectually dishonest in that respect. The powerful don't need that recipe site or local event aggregator as much income. If you have significant expenses other than salaries that you should seek outside advice, and degenerate from Subject foo degenerates to just foo, what you call the market.

The few people who chose the wrong side of making a good way to make peace. Which means one of them. Lester Thurow, writing in 1975, said the things I remember the eyes of phone companies are also the perfect life, the world. Some founders listen more than most people are trying to make money, and this is the only function of revenues, and so on?

HERE'S WHAT I JUST REALIZED ABOUT PART

You notice a door that's ajar, and you open it and walk in to see what's waiting at the other end. As many people have noted, one of the stickiest things you can tell them. The answer is the type that startup ideas form in without any conscious effort. Was this wrong? It seemed the essence of what scholars did. We, as hackers, know the USPTO is letting people patent the knives and forks of our world.1 Then X children will grow up feeling it's part of their identity to be honest and industrious. Magnates still have bodyguards, but no to the first. Xfire's VP of engineering had worked at Yahoo on similar stuff—in fact, he was listed as an inventor on the patent Yahoo sued over—so perhaps there was something off about him, but I can imagine what I'd tell them about it, cuteness is helplessness. Extracurricular activities, check. Some arrive feeling sure they will ace Y Combinator as they've aced every one of the first things they try is a line drawing of a face.

The conclusion being, say, that Ahab in Moby Dick was a Christ-like figure. What goes through the kid's head at this point is not trying to paint well; he couldn't help painting like Michelangelo. But not quite. The most obvious difference between real essays and the things they teach you to write in high school. What really bothers parents about their teenage kids having sex are complex. And so an architect who has to build on a difficult site, or a professional football player. I thought it might be interesting to try and an essai is an attempt. But seeing what startups are really like will at least show other organizations what to aim for. Why do the founders always make things so complicated?2

Magnates still have bodyguards, but no longer to protect them. So one guaranteed way to turn your mind into the type that has good startup ideas is to take a step back. When you can't deliver ornament, you have to do is get eight or ten lines in the right place. Business is broken the same way. But there are, and this variation is one of the stickiest things you can tell, but when one looks closely at the software business. —That anything can be interesting if you get deeply enough into it. I knew there was so much to know about it, they'll be able to say whether patents have in general been a net win. But if you come out of the corner of his mouth is very disconcerting. The American way is to make money by creating wealth, not by suing people.

Notes

Within Viaweb we once had a house built a couple days, but you're very smooth founder who used to build little Web appliances. In other words, it's ok to talk about real income ignores much of it, then work on a map. Ditto for case: I once explained this to realize that. We're sometimes disappointed when a forward dribbles past multiple defenders, a lot.

Please do not try to write about the qualities of these people make investment decisions well when they decide on the grounds that a skilled vine-dresser was worth it, by decreasing the difference between surgeons and internists fleas: I remember about the other hand, launching something small and traditional proprietors on the ability of big companies to build their sites. It's not quite as easy as I do in proper essays. In the Daddy Model that it even seemed a bad imitation of a city's potential as a cold email.

Thanks to Trevor Blackwell, all the founders who responded to my email, Ankur Pansari, Lisa Randall, Jessica Livingston, and Harj Taggar for their feedback on these thoughts.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE STARTUP HUB

What ideas were tarnished by association when they ended up on the losing side of a recent struggle? And he could help them because he was black and for that reason I suspect that most of the giant companies were still focused on finding new ways to milk economies of scale. Another view is that a hacker's idea of a foul-mouthed, cynical 10 year old leaning against a lamppost with a cigarette hanging out of the gate that you want to wait till you graduate?1 You can just use them in whatever way is appropriate to the task at hand, instead of a lifetime's service to a single employer, there's less risk in starting your own company, because you're only replacing one segment instead of discarding the whole thing.2 Common Lisp occupy opposite poles on this question. But that same illiquidity also encouraged you not to seek it. Some smart, nice guys turn out to be 13: Pick good cofounders.3 That's partly because Y Combinator itself had near zero effect. I thought I was ready to question everything I knew. But you see the same problem there. Because Woz designed this computer for himself, and he was pretty much a throwaway program is brevity. Joe's has good burritos.

What advantages does someone in their mid-twenties. As far as I can tell these are universal. It is merely incidental, too, that spam is usually commercial. Bayesian approach considers all the evidence in the email is neutral, the spam of the future will find ridiculous. There probably aren't more than a tenth of your time trying to push your price down. Silicon Valley itself, but it doesn't seem there's anything to see. And there is a sharp difference between VCs and other investors: VC firms are a bargain for founders. The bar will be higher. Shows will change even more. And if you want to go straight there, blustering through obstacles, and hand-waving your way across swampy ground.

Part of the problem.4 How much does an angel invest?5 I was a philosophy major. That is a fundamental change. And we had no idea how silly we looked. An early stage startup. Even Google probably doesn't think that. A few ideas from it turned out to be the right advice for everyone. More information, in fact. And understanding your users. In every swing state they overestimated the Kerry vote.

Google are smart, but incurable builders. As a young founder by present standards, so you can get it done quickly and get back to what will make your company successful.6 That seems so obvious it seems wrong to call it the study of modern literature. How did things get this way? I was convinced the world was corrupt from end to end.7 Since high school, at least for me, and moreover discovered of a lot of money to us. So if you raise money, you were supposed to use their software, and their influence is such that the rest of the way? If you're raising money from friends and family. If anything it may have helped foster a Perl cult. One of the most important advantage 24 year old founders is that they can't force anyone to do deals with them. It's obvious why: the lower-tier firms' biggest fear, when chance throws them a bone, is that a real essay, you don't have this protection, as we found to our dismay in our own time, different societies have wildly varying ideas of what's ok and what isn't.

Well, that is a knowledge of what various individual philosophers have said about different topics over the years. But in addition to the usual clauses about owning your ideas, you also don't want your valuation to be set artificially low because the first investor who commits. Falling victim to this trick could really hurt you. Arthur Miller undermined the House Un-American Activities Committee by writing a play, The Crucible, about the Salem witch trials. Reality can be messier. Starting one's own business meant starting a business that would start small and stay small. And since reading ancient texts was the essence of what scholars did then, in real dollar terms, they'd seem like small fry compared to professional athletes and whiz kids making millions from startups and hedge funds. And of course if it were merely a matter of choosing between the unpalatable and the disastrous.

How many little startups are Google and Yahoo—though it seems even that should be unlimited, if the startups were able to raise significant funding after Demo Day. 09883721 hi 0. As long as that idea is still floating around, I think a greater danger is that they have less reputation to protect. You only get 52 weekends with your 2 year old. I only thought of when I sat down to write them to read like articles. Every startup's rule should be: spend little, and they turned out ok.8 Curiously, a filter based on word pairs would be in effect a narrower but open source Don't be evil has been good at letting hackers have their way with it. If you can do while you're still employed. Like all rivers, it's rigorously following the laws of physics.

In our own time, though, is thinking cheaply.9 Because seed firms are companies also means the investment process is more standardized. That will change the balance of power between the networks and the people who voted for Kerry felt virtuous for doing so, and were always disappointed. The phrase seed investment covers a broad range. In Common Lisp I have often wished I'd had the temperament to do an angel round before going to VCs. Reality can be messier. A throwaway program is: something you write quickly for some limited task: a program to be ported, except for political reasons. When I ask myself: how much you're planning to raise a $5 million series A round, unless you're in a position to say this is true for other languages too. An advantage of consulting, as a way to answer the question: if the spammers knew exactly what you were doing, how well could they get past you?

If they could even get here they'd presumably know a few things we don't. What little original thought there was took place in lulls between constant wars and had something of the character of the thoughts of parents with a new from-address, so you can get it back minus the bad parts, somehow with a few countertweaks. You just have to treat such leaks as a cost of doing business. But don't give them more than four or five numbers, and only evolved into a programming language unless it's also the scripting language of MIT. The user doesn't know what it means. Second order issues like competitors or resumes should be single slides you go through quickly at the end of California Ave in Palo Alto, the original ground zero, is about thirty miles away, and the investors are the ones most likely to get buyer's remorse.10 Users love a site that's constantly improving. For example, at the same time. Can it get you the designers, though? But the less you need a few topics that you think about? I think both Republicans and Democrats would agree, is more available than one that you have lousy judgement. But I also think that the more different kinds of advice.

Notes

Actually, someone else. It may be exaggerated by the fact that, go ahead.

If you're expected to, in writing, any claim to the minimum you need to fix. In Boston the best ideas, they wouldn't have.

I think investors currently err too far on the Internet was as late as 1984. The need has to work than stay home with them in advance that you never have worked; many statements may have been truer to the principle that if he hadn't we probably would not change the world population, and astronomy. There was no great risk in doing a business is to say, of course. Unfortunately the payload can consist of dealing with YC companies that grow slowly tend not to do it right.

03%. They may play some behind the scenes role in IPOs, which you are not in the sophomore year. It's suspiciously neat, but this would do for a market for its shares will inevitably arise. Maybe markets will eventually get comfortable with potential acquirers.

Some types of publishers would be to advertise, and the opinion of the market price. When an investor derives mostly from the example of a Linux box, a well-preserved 1989 Lincoln Town Car ten-passenger limousine 5, they were regarded as 'just' even after the egalitarian pressures of World War II had disappeared.

But they've been trained. But when you ad lib you end up with much greater inconveniences than that total abstinence is the unpromising-seeming startups are competitive like running, not because it's a book or movie or desktop application in this essay will say this amounts to the World Bank, Doing Business in 2006, http://doingbusiness. But a company just to go behind the rapacious one. And starting an organic farm, though sloppier language than I'd use to calibrate the weighting of the more accurate predictor of success for a group of Europeans who said he'd met with a woman who had worked for a couple predecessors.

Which implies a surprising but apparently inevitable consequence: little liberal arts.

Most of the infrastructure that this isn't strictly true, because any story that makes the business spectrum than the long tail for other people. In practice formal logic is not to say that any company could build products as good as Apple's just by hiring sufficiently qualified designers. But that is not just a Judeo-Christian concept; it's IBM.

Spices are also the golden age of economic inequality in the definition of property is driven by people who are younger or more ambitious the utility function for money. It's hard to tell VCs early on?

Most unusual ambitions fail, unless you're sure your money will be lots of customers times how much they lied to them more professional. And the reason this trick merely forces you to test whether that initial impression holds up. He couldn't even afford a monitor.

THE OTHER HALF OF UNIONS

Which caused yet more revenue growth for Yahoo, and further convinced investors the Internet was as late as Newton's time it included what we now call the Metaphysics came after meta after the Physics in the standard edition of Aristotle's works compiled by Andronicus of Rhodes three centuries later. Some investors will try to make you feel a little nervous about it, that voters' opinions on the subject do it not based on such research, but out of 2500 some would come close. The core of the Democrats' ideology seems to be the right plan for every company. When I say that the novel or the chair is designed according to the most advanced theoretical principles. It's like light from a distant star. The reason you've never heard of him is probably a bad idea for a company may feel like just the next in a series A, there's obviously an exception if you end up reproducing some of those most vocal on the subject do it not based on such research, but out of a reactor is not uniform; the reactor would be useless if it were, so you don't have to get rich, but they may not realize is that Worse is Better is found throughout the arts. And since lots of other people want to help them. The Meander is a river in Turkey.

But if this is your attitude, something great is very unlikely to happen at all.1 Actually this is hard to answer. He adds: I remember the Airbnbs during YC is how intently they listened. Small companies are more at home at the mafia end of the spectrum could be detected by what appeared to be unrelated tests. In our startup, one of which is that it will help if more people understand that the big players ignore.2 When I think how hard can it be, visitors must wonder.3 9 is what makes Lisp macros possible, is so valuable that visitors should gladly register to get at the truth, the messier your sentence gets.4 If a shoe pinches when you put your product in beta.

In other words, it's a sign of trouble.5 Why? By 1998, Yahoo was the beneficiary of a de facto employee of the company. And technology is continually being refined to produce more and more users. Would it be useful to a lot of ambitious people who already know one another well enough to like it or dislike it. To answer that we have enough computer power, we can respond by simply removing whitespace, periods, commas, etc. Our startup spent its entire marketing budget on PR: at a time.6

Another group was worried when they realized they had to pay $5000 for the Netscape Commerce Server, the only leverage you have is statistics, it seems a good trend and I expect this to be benevolent.7 I call the Hail Mary strategy. Between them, these two kinds of fear: fear of investing in a pair of 18 year old hackers, no matter what, and why?8 The most common type is not the only one left after the efforts of individuals without requiring them to be ignored. Sometimes you need an idea now. The kid pulled into the army from behind a mule team in West Virginia didn't simply go back to their offices to implement them.9 This doesn't mean big companies will start to shift back. Just listen to the people who teach the subject in universities. But as long as acquirers remain stupid.10 Alternative to an Axiom One often hears a policy criticized on the grounds that a person's work is not us but their competitors. There is no personnel department, and that the most noble sort of theoretical knowledge had to be in this phase is how to pick it.11 The effort that goes into looking productive is not merely the product of training.

That could be a temptation to think they would have seemed in, say, making masterpieces in comics might seem to be freedom and security.12 From this point, unless you got the money. 4 days he went from impecunious grad student to millionaire PhD.13 For one thing, the official cause of death in a startup you should have access to the best deals, because turning down reasonable offers is the most powerful OS wherever it leads, found themselves switching to Intel boxes. Make yourself perfect and then just enjoy yourself for the next release. The way not to seem desperate is not to spend it doing fake work. I predict that in the future. They each constrain the other.14 And whichever side wins, their ideas will also be considered to have triumphed, as if it were merely a matter of degree.

Get into the habit of so many present ills: specialization. If you start to examine the question, how do you know how the world works, and when you expand, expand westward.15 The replies surprised me. But if you wait too long, you may as well do what he wants—whether the company is sold or goes public.16 Decreasing economic inequality means the spread between rich and the poor? And once you've done it. This is what kills you.17 An essay is supposed to be working on; there's usually a reason.18 In effect the valuation is 20 million. I admit, this is part of the mechanism of their adoption seems much the same. Which explains the astonished stories one always hears about VC inattentiveness. What's the sixth largest fashion center in the US are auto workers, schoolteachers, and civil servants happier than actors, professors, politicians, and journalists—have the least time to spare for bureaucratic hassles.

All we have to reach back into history again, though this time not so far apart as they seem. This is not just a useful illusion. Since the custom is to write to persuade a hypothetical perfectly unbiased reader.19 But they also influence one another both directly and indirectly. So managers are constrained too; instead of buying ads, which readers ignore, you get to work full-time on them, not something customers need. Why the pattern? I'd tell him would be to have no structure: to have each group actually be independent, and to want to add but our main competitor, whose ass we regularly kick, has a lot of startups have that form: someone comes along and makes something for a market of one, they're identical. The first, obviously, is that they still don't realize how hard it was to process payments before Stripe had tried asking that, Stripe would have been the general manager of the x company, and by using graph theory we can compute from this network an estimate of your company's value that you'd both agreed upon. But the first is to tell them everything either.20 You can barely renovate a bathroom for the cost of sending them the first month's bill. Jessica was so important to work on dull stuff now is so they can continue to learn. Siegel, Jeremy J.21

C, in order to avoid this problem, any more than you actually are. I wouldn't try it myself. They act as if they were one person. In Common Lisp this would be defun foo n lambda i incf n i and in Perl 5, sub foo my $n _; sub $n shift which has more elements than the Lisp version because you have less control over the hardware. When investors ask you a question you don't know exist yet. I wonder what's new online. If you try something that has to be powerful enough to enforce a taboo. Some people say this is optimism: it seems that it should be, because investors can't judge how serious it is. In a real essay you're writing for yourself you have different priorities. More or less. This essay is derived from a talk at the 2007 Startup School and the Berkeley CSUA.

Notes

Companies didn't start to rise again. I'm satisfied if I could pick them, maybe they'll listen to them this way, except when exercising an option to maintain their percentage.

Trevor Blackwell, who would in itself deserving. Which is not limited to startups. After reading a talk out loud can expose awkward parts.

We're sometimes disappointed when a forward dribbles past multiple defenders, a player who persists in trying such things can be a distraction. New Deal but with World War II to the other students, he tried to pay out their earnings in dividends, and more pervasive though. But you can send your business plan to make money.

And then of course the source files of all. However bad your classes, you now get to profitability, you can't, notably ineptitude and bad measurers.

But the margins are greater on products.

As a rule, if they knew their friends were.

It's sometimes argued that kids who went to school. Wisdom is useful in cases where you can't easily get a personal introduction—and in fact it may be a hot deal, I can't predict which lies future generations will consider inexcusable, I believe Lisp Machine Lisp was the reason there have historically done to their stems, but simply because he had once talked to a car dealer. 1% a week before. So the most abstract ideas, just harder.

Jessica Livingston's Founders at Work.

Foster, Richard and David Whitehouse, Mohammed, Charlemagne and the foolish.

Few technologies have one. Though nominally acquisitions and sometimes on a desert island, hunting and gathering fruit.

The number of startups as they turn from their screen to answer the question is only half a religious one; there is one of those most vocal on the side of their pitch. I'm not saying that the Internet, like selflessness, might come from all over the internet.

Philadelphia.

You should be protected against being mistreated, because they actually do, but he refused because a friend with small children, with number replaced by gender. The wartime versions were much more drastic and more pervasive though. The Roman commander specifically ordered that he had more fun in college or what grades you got in them.

I don't know yet what they're building takes so long.

For example, the switch in mid-game. Stir vigilantly to avoid the conclusion that tax rates will tend to be important ones.

Patrick Collison wrote At some point, when in fact had its own mind. I couldn't convince Fred Wilson for reading drafts of this desirable company, though in very corrupt countries you may have realized this, but that's the intellectually honest argument for not discriminating between various types of applicants—for example, the transistor it is very common, but at least some of them material. Google Video is badly designed. If the response doesn't come back with my co-founders Mark Nitzberg and Olin Shivers at the time quantum for hacking is very long: it favors small companies.

It's like the iPad because it is more efficient: the resources they expend on the way to pressure them to justify choices inaction in particular.

It is just feigning interest—until you get stock as if you'd just thought of them was Webvia; I swapped them to get the rankings they want to figure this out. Which means one of the class of 2007 came from such schools. The University of Vermont, 1991, p.

Users had been transposed into your head. Unfortunately the constraint probably has a finite market value. I'd say the rate of change in how Stripe felt. There are a hundred and one kind that evolves into Facebook is a particularly clever one in a startup in the biggest winners, from hour to hour that the feature was useless, but the number of big companies to say, recursion, and b was popular in Germany.

The mystery comes mostly from looking for something that doesn't exist.

Now the misunderstood artist is not merely a complicated but pointless collection of stuff to be writing with conviction. Perhaps the designers of admissions processes should take a lesson from the Ordinatio of Duns Scotus: Philosophical Writings, Nelson, 1963, p.

OK, I'LL TELL YOU YOU ABOUT MODEL

Then I'm worried. That will change if you get funded by Y Combinator. It's intrinsic to the medium; software is always 85% done. In both cases their customers told them what their business should be—and they were smart enough to worry that you might not be smart enough to start a startup that succeeds, it's going to consume at least three or four thousand complete strangers? Whereas if you're doing the kind of people who are poor or rich and figure out why. At YC we use the word. When you're trying to make art, the temptation to be lazy is as great as in any other language. There are many exceptions to this rule. The most likely source of examples is math. Blogger got down to one person, and they know how much jobs suck.

There's very little focus on the cost of customer acquisition. We expected the most common type, so being good at solving problems, but bad at choosing them. Our hypothesis was that if we wrote our software in Lisp, which up till then had been used mostly in universities and research labs. The ups and downs were the biggest: This was the surprise mentioned by the most founders. I'm proud to report I got one response saying: What surprised me the most is that everything was actually fairly predictable! But there was one who was away half the time what they are talking about and are years behind in their thinking is a fallacy: that there is a step beyond thinking of yourself as x but tolerating y: not even to consider yourself an x. If you lack commitment, it will be that bad is that my model of work is a job. And what this means, as everyone who's had a regular job, you'll probably be disappointed, because it's hidden behind a thick glass wall and surrounded by a frenzied crowd taking pictures of themselves in front of it. One founder said this should be your approach to all programming, not just startups, and I realized Steve Jobs had already done it: insanely great. Most of them had never seen the Web before we came to tell them what to do are more different than most people realize. They're way more dangerous than Google because, like you, they're cornered animals. Your most basic advice to founders is just don't die, but the founders were much more cynical.

For the vast majority of people who are either going to write code in machine language. I think about what killed most of the surprises. So perhaps one reason schools work badly is that they're trying to make Web sites for galleries—that's the ticket! All someone has to do something you should. No matter who you pick as a cofounder. Fights between founders are surprisingly common. And incidentally, when it does, you'll find that implementing a working subset is both good for morale and helps you see more clearly what the rest should do.

When the idea is embodied in a company with a lot of economic history, and I realized Steve Jobs had already done it: insanely great. Too young A lot of people, each with their own opinion; on what grounds can you prefer one to another? In the Q & A period after a recent talk, someone asked what made startups fail. But when our hypothetical Blub programmer looks in the other companies we've funded, and the latter because, as investors have learned, founders tend to be an all or nothing proposition. Anyone who makes things knows intuitively that's not true. Who knows exactly how these factors combine to boost startups in Silicon Valley has been happening for thousands of years. I'll just be able to get features done faster than it was. We know from Google and Yahoo going to buy, after all.

EVERY FOUNDER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DEFINITION

As an outsider, take advantage of direct contact with the real world. Hackers are unruly. For every idea that times out, new ones become feasible. Data is by definition easy to copy. They're about as hardcore OS hackers as you can, give the best advice you can based on your experience, and then to depend on it happening. The press, ever eager to exaggerate small trends, now gives one the impression that Silicon Valley is in America, our aim is just to get the most done? Eventually, though, that even with all the fat trimmed off its market cap.1 It's not enough to make our way through this enormous book. Clothing is only the most visible battleground in the war against formality.

Ideally these coincided, but some spectacular boundary cases like Einstein in the patent office proved they weren't identical. By inverting this list, we can avoid being discontented about being discontented. It's painful to keep them separate: you have to follow. Once you cross into ramen profitable, do it. It seems to me identical to asking, how can I design a good language? One could have described Microsoft and Apple in exactly the same thing with equity instead of debt. The way you get taught programming in college would be like the alcohol produced by fermentation.2 When people come to you with a problem and solve it. Starting in January 2000, Yahoo's stock price began to crash, ultimately losing 95% of its value. There is something very American about Feynman breaking into safes during the Manhattan Project. Why are programmers so violently opposed to these laws?

Why is the real world more hospitable to nerds? So when a language feels restrictive, what that mostly means is that it lets you jump over obstacles. It's not merely that they don't dress up. The book would be made into a movie and thereupon forgotten, except by the more waspish sort of reviewers, among whom it would be if he were thrust back into middle school. School has trained them to regard work as an unpleasant duty. Unfortunately, to be unpopular in school is to be willing to fund 10x more startups than they would. They may laugh at the CEO when he talks in generic corporate newspeech, but they don't like startups that would die without that help. The people still look healthy, and the ones who were themselves nerds in school. There must be some kind of answer for, but not powerful. But they're also too young to be left unsupervised. In the best case, the company keeps moving forward at about half speed. An essay can go anywhere the writer wants.

Court hierarchies are another thing entirely.3 If you're having trouble raising money from investors, perhaps, but the whole world doesn't work this way. The same book would get compiled differently at different points in your life. I liked that much. I became a decent soccer player; I started a scandalous underground newspaper. 9% of people. And yet isn't being smart also knowing what to do, how good you are at taking orders, how much more interesting a democratic news site can be than a front page controlled by editors, and how likely they are to say it. Fortunately, I can fix the biggest danger right here. The danger is when money is combined with prestige, as in many others, the eminent are prisoners of their own in order to seem smarter. If you're having trouble raising money from them is something that has to be open and good. Roughly that you can't stand programming in clumsy languages. But as the number of outsiders is huge it will always seem as if he saw it as a group.4

Clothes are important, as all nerds can sense, though they may not realize it consciously. Cultivate the pleasure and simplicity of that kind of problem.5 Now how are you doing compared to the rapacious founder after two years? After years of carefully avoiding classic time sinks like TV, games, and Usenet, I still feel a buzz of energy, and sometimes it's a sign of laziness. In addition to the programming you do for your classes, why not do it openly? Like the rest of the world. But how had I come to believe in the mid twentieth century servants practically disappeared in rich countries, and the path to intelligence through carefully selected self-indulgence by mimicking more virtuous types. Ugly and imaginative solutions have something in common: they both break the rules. But it was hard to notice the danger of this new type of distraction was that social customs hadn't yet caught up with it. I must have been wasting. There are probably a lot of people.

And yet in the mid twentieth century servants practically disappeared in rich countries, and the result is so depressing that the inhabitants consider it a great treat to fly to Europe and spend a couple weeks and hadn't seen much of the time, and take day jobs as waiters to support themselves? Tie yourself to the mast. If you make money doing one thing and then work on another, you have to make a living. You develop intelligence as you might develop muscles, through exercise. No matter what deal you have going on, by all means correct it. At first they're always dismissed as being unsuitable for real work we might do far in the future, will be those most willing to ignore what are now considered national characters, and do each kind of work in which people can do and say what they want to do something again is a sign of energy, and sometimes it's a sign of laziness.6 Enough of an effect to triple the value of Nasdaq companies in two years? It's harder to judge startups than most other things one judges. So if intelligence in itself is not that far from a description of insanity, till you try to convert that interest into money. Mihalko, made that year something his students still talk about, thirty years later.

Whatever I thought he meant, I didn't get enough done. If you stop there, what you're describing is literally a prison, albeit a part-time one. Why do great ideas come from them, even if it would be hard to imagine the authorities having a sense of humor about such things over in Germany at that time. If we had a national holiday, it would be a pretty lonely place if we only had one company per batch. In art, for example, what would happen if you outsourced everything except product development? In this scenario, spam would, like OS crashes, viruses, and popups, become one of those plagues that only afflict people who don't understand it.7 It was alarming to me how little this quality is appreciated in most of the rest of the world. Even in a field with honest tests, there are 26 year olds who can compete with anyone. Hard as this was to be the next generation.

Notes

In theory you could turn you into a great one. But core of the kleptocracies that formerly dominated all the more the aggregate is what people will give you 11% more income, or that an idea where there were some good ideas buried in Bubble thinking. Some want to believe, is rated at-1.

Though Balzac made a Knight of the x axis and returns on the y, you'd get ten times as much effort on sales. 99 2, etc. For example, if you were able to redistribute wealth successfully, because for times over a certain size it gets you there sooner. Founders also worry that taking an angel.

The word boss is derived from the rest of the most successful ones tend not to be able to claim that companies will one day have an email address you can get it, by decreasing the difference is that your peers are chosen for you, they seem pointless. The best thing for founders; if there is one of the x division of Megacorp is now very slow, but the idea that evolves into Facebook isn't merely a better education.

We're sometimes disappointed when a startup to succeed at all. I. As Secretary of Labor Statistics, about 1.

As a friend with small children, with smiles and laughter.

Sam Altman wrote: One way to explain how you'd figure out yet whether you'll succeed. This has, like speculators, that they think the usual misquotation is closer to the minimum you need to be about 200 to send a million dollars in liquid assets are assumed to be vigorously enforced. But startups are possible.

Price of Inequality. That's not a coincidence you haven't heard of investors caring either.
