UGH I'm SO mad right now at this fucking stupid printer and how I didn't catch this ahead of time. Okay so I printed out the poster, only my printer added white borders around the edge of each page, BUT, the white borders are on TOP of the picture, so now I either have 15 pages of wasted ink, or a shitty poster with white lines all over it.

Anyway here's the (ruined) one. It's not lined up perfectly, I just put it together so you can see the picture.

I reprinted the poster out, and officially used up the black ink in my printer. I have 4 extra color ink cartridges, but no black ones ;-;

My mom is going to kill me for using it up.

LOL yeah mom won't be too happy about the ink. Ounce for ounce, printer ink is more costly than gold.

Not sure what you mean when you say that the white borders are on TOP of the picture. Can you not simply trim off the white borders with an exacto knife?

When I told it to print the pictures, each picture was 8.5 x 11 (inches). Since the printer can't print on very edge of the paper, it just left it as white. At first the printer told me it was going to resize each picture to "fit" the page, but I assumed it wanted to shrink them and told it to not resize the picture and print anyway.

But when I re-printed it out I made sure everything was alright, and actually had it set-up so that each page has 0.24 inches of the previous page on the top and left side, that way it can overlap fine.

yay update, trimmed the white lines off (except for the bottom ones, forgot them, derp).

Hmpf, Idk how I want to put the pieces of paper together. The last one I made I taped the back of the paper together, but that left the bit of paper that over laps sticking up so I taped the front. But when I taped the front, since the tape isn't %100 see-through you could see it and it looks kinda crappy when you look up close. It's fine with my desu poster since theres not much detail, but I want this one to be really good.

Time to go find my mom's expensive awesome clear tape. Or maybe I can just use packaging tape... hmmm

You just blew $50 worth of ink and you're worried about a few feet of tape?

I'd say just this poster is about $15 of ink, maybe $25 at max. Considering a full thing of black ink is $25, and a full color would be the same, since the black ink cartridge was about %50 full when I printed this one, and is now at like %5, I used about half of the black ink. The color cartridge is still pretty full, even after printing two of these posters, the desu poster, and about 10 pages of other random stuff, I don't think the cost of the color ink would matter too much.

Oh I drank literally 3 cups (as in, the measurement) of chocolate mocha and I was REALLY wired up, so I cleaned my entire room and packed everything away all neat. I have a bit of a headache now, and I'm not as hyper as I was before, but I think it'll be hard to fall asleep tonight.

I'm so wasted right now. I had the worst fucking date ever last night. The guy was kinda quiet so I had to keep talking in order to avoid awkward silences, and I was a little nervous so I started talking about the stupidest weirdest shit imaginable. Just when I was sure that he thought I was crazy, TODD walked into the bar. In case you don't remember, he was the really sexy yet really evil asshole that I was seeing a couple months ago. He walked across the bar and sat down right next to us, even though there were like 20 empty barstools in the place. I wasn't 100% sure it was him so I turned to make sure. My eyes got as far as the tattoos on his arms and I grabbed my purse, stood up, and said 'I have to get out of here like RIGHT NOW.' He wasn't sure what was going on but he grabbed his shit and followed me out the door and into the parking lot. I was a shaking, blubbering nervous wreck as I tried to explain to him that the big tattooed guy who just sat by us was an enemy of mine that I really did not care to speak with. I was afraid that Todd would be coming out of the bar at any second, so I said goodbye, got in my car, and sped off. The whole way home I kept thinking about what a freak my date probably thinks I am and began to feel super embarrassed. As soon as I got home, I emailed him an apology and a statement which attempted to redeem myself by saying that I wasn't really that freakish, that I was just nervous and the Todd incident just came way out of left-field and scared me. Everytime I have emailed him he has responded promptly, but this time he didn't respond at all. Ouch! I don't expect to ever hear from him again, cant say I blame him. LOL of course I left out the fact that I was high as a kite - but I guess it doesn't make one bit of difference. Now I'm just really embarrassed about the whole thing and feel like crawling under a rock and staying there for the rest of my life.
And WTF was he doing showing up at that bar anyways? He has never mentioned that place before. Now I'm all paranoid that there's something creepy going on like he's got someone spying on me or something. It's just too much of a coincidence. Plus, as far as I could tell he came in ALONE. He never goes anywhere alone. He didn't talk to anyone or anything - just walked in a headed straight for us. Weird. [/blubbering foolishness]

@ poision: maybe you could go to a kinkos if there's one near your home. Would be super cheap compared to printing at home.

Yeah, I guess you scared the shit out of your date. ;)
He may have accepted your weired talking or your rush out of the bar. The combination might have been to much for him...
Anyways, I remember your long-term plan being to fight your addiction. Hasn`t worked out yet?

lol Opium is always full of exciting stories! I hope everything works out with your date, even if he does think you're a bit crazy now.

And now for something not nearly as exciting as opium's story, I finally finished the poster! I spent a LOT of time making sure all the pages were really well lined up, and taping them down was a a huuuge pain in the ass, but I think it was really worth it

~5 pages wide, ~2.2 pages tall. ( approx. 3.5" x 2.1"). 13 feet of tape total to put it all together.

(NOTE: this camera is stupid and old so it doesn't look nearly as "sharp" as it does IRL, and also I didn't tape the bottom to my wall (yet) so that's why it looks kinda wavy)

Did you ever thought about your printer not being capable of printing a full page? So it just leaves margins, because it simply can`t put ink there? Especially ink printers tend to fuck up when it come to filling the whole page. I remember an old Canon and a HP model that were a complete disappointment in this regard.

Todd done put his ass in the hospital.

j/k... I mean, I hope not.

You (probably) still could've acted "weird" and he might not think too much about it, but if a guy (and probably, especially(?) a quiet/shy type) thinks something else is going on, or a girl they like is still in some kind of relationship... He'll not want anything to do with you, or he'll keep his distance (romantically/emotionally).

I wonder if Todd is the "sexy (but honest) bastard"? Confused
