Listen to some Tristam and Braken. That always helps me.
 
All else fails, drink some beer, and listen to the DBZ sound track or watch DBZ gohan V cell full fight. ALWAYS helps me get things off my mind.

Update: Nov 27, 2017
Due to lack of any documentation when this review was made, there is a misinformation about the location of the memory module. The memory module is not on the underside of the motherboard, it's actually beneath the silver cover, next to the M.2 slot.

TLDR version is at the very bottom.
 
HP Envy x360, part of their premium line, is offered with a variety of specifications to choose from. They come with both AMD or Intel based processors, up to 16GB of DDR4 memory on selected models, 1080P IPS display, a solid state drive, including PCIe NVMe, and a mechanical hard drive. The stock configuration just provides the essential specs to get by, but it can also be customzied to your liking such as having a 4K display, combo based storage like SSD+HDD, or opting for a dedicated graphics. On the AMD side, HP only offers the FX line up with a Dark Ash color design, and on the Intel side, you get both 7th or 8th gen in a Natural Silver finish. Comparing the two different color designs, the Dark Ash does look nicer, but for Intel based platforms, there is no choice but to get in Natural Silver.
 
Encountering the laptop, it immediately attracts you towards it, with is sleek design and beauty. While at it, opening up your visual senses, letting you know on what a proper good looking laptop should look like. When closed the laptop profile is quite thin measuring at just 0.77 inches, of course not ultrabook thin, but still thin enough, that it should fit into most laptop carrying case with room to spare for your other laptop accessories. Now even though it's not ultrabook thin, it's still good to have a bit of space in it, allowing internal components to have some breathing room, and not have it sandwiched all together. The built quality is extremely solid, as there is almost no sag or flex towards the screen or keyboard, all thanks to the use of a aluminum chassis.
 
Opening the screen can be achieved with the lift of a finger, where its 360 degrees geared hinge, users can go from laptop to tablet, for when your on the move, stand, while watching your favorite shows or movies, and tent mode during game play or presentation. The screen itself also supports 10 point touch, as well as Windows Ink. With the supported Windows Ink pen, users can start showing their artistic drawing skills, highlight websites, or jot down reminders, and save them for later on. The pen runs on a single quadruple A battery and it's quite good. When using the pen, under the Windows Ink workspace, it comes in two modes, pen and free hand. In pen mode, only the pen input gets registered allowing users to rest their hand on the screen, just like as using a real pen and paper. In free hand mode, only your hand input gets registered, and not the pen. Typing on it feels nice as well, with the low profile keys, which results in less travel distance until it registers a key stroke. Based on personal typing test, the result came in at 81 words per minutes. The keyboard has backlit keys and a number pad on the side. Now some may not like the number pad, cause of the physical size limit of this laptop, to type comfortably, you'll need to sacrifice your viewing experience by place the laptop slightly to one side. The screen included by standard has a maximum resolution of 1920x1080, but with their Micro Edge display, it gives it somewhat a more immersive experience as you'll hardly notice the thin black bezels that surrounds the screen. Viewing angles are extremely good too, up to 180 degrees, with no color shifts, all due to their use of a IPS panel. The webcam is nice as well, with support up to 1920x1080 of video recording resolution at 30FPS, as well as the dual IR beams, for Windows Hello, for those that want to use their face as their security login.
On to connectivity, there is a total of 3 usb 3.1 gen 1 ports, with one of them being type C, that also supports display port 1.2 via a adapter, no thunderbolt 3. 2 of the usb ports also has sleep and charge. A combo microphone / headphone jack is also present as well as a standard size SD card reader, and a HDMI 2.0 port capable of driving 4K at 60Hz. There is no ethernet port on this laptop due to its thin profile, so anyone that needs one, will have to settle with a adapter. Other things it has is a power button with built in led, hdd status led, volume rocker, and charging port also with a LED indicator.
 
Using the different modes features on this laptop with its 360 degrees geared hinge. Laptop mode was your standard laptop experience, nothing too special about it. Both Stand and Tent mode offers similar expereience, and is only useful when running programs or games that supports touch screen functionality. Out of the these 2 modes, tent mode is the better option, because the speakers and keyboard will not literally become the bottom based of the laptop and get covered up or scratched by the surface it's put on. Tablet mode with the windows ink is a neat feature, you get to walk around holding a unique pen, while writing on the screen, like you're at the forefront of technology. But this awesome status of yours, is short lived, due to the laptop's physical size and weight of 4.75 pounds, your arms will get tired really quick. Anyone that will need to use their laptop constantly in tablet mode for work or school, will have to look at those with less weight, and with a screen size of 13.3 inch or less. When transitioning from laptop to any other modes, you'll need to pay close attention to where you're holding it because, there is a great chance a program or important document can be accidentally closed off due to the laptop's thin bezel. Speakers by BANG & OLUFSEN sounds pretty good. The track pad is decent, click buttons is a bit on loud side, and battery life is average. At 100% charge, using it for web browsing and other non intensive task, it last about 5 to 6 hours. Charging it back up to near full capacity takes around 1 hour or so, with the use of their built in HP fast charge. One feature that wasn't stated on their site or product page is whether the battery has their built in Smart technology, which stops charging once the battery reaches full capacity, to prevent from over charging and reducing the battery's life span, and to prevent from constantly plug and unplug the charger, increasing the chances of breaking it. They do have a web page with a explanation on this technology, but doesn't specify which models supports this feature. On some of the competing laptop vendors, it comes with a windows utility that let's you know for sure, if you have this feature not, and can also be disable for those that don't want to use it. Upgrading components on this laptop can be accessed by opening up the bottom panel cover, where it reveals the internal components. But the amount of user accessible upgrade is extremely limited. The only components that can be swapped out are the storage drives and battery. All other components will require further disassembly of the laptop just to reach them. To save yourself from this hassle, just go with the highest specs you can get, within your price range.
 
At stock configuration, this specific HP Envy x360 is equipped with a Intel 8th gen Core i5 based on the Kaby Lake-R architecture, with Intel HD graphics, a total of 8GB DDR4 2400MHz, 1TB HDD @7200rpm, and Windows 10 Home Edition 64bit. Benchmark and performance results is perform on a customize version of this laptop, that has a Intel 8th gen Core i5 4C/8T @1.6GHz with Intel HD graphics + Nvidia MX150 graphics with dedicated 4GB of GDDR5 vram. Intel 120GB SATA SSD, and Windows 10 Professional 64bit. All other specification is exactly the same as the stock configuration. Because of the limited capacity of the SSD, all games are running off the external 1TB HDD and everything else is running off the SSD. All are running at stock settings, since there is no overclocking on this laptop.

First up on the list is Cinebench R15, a popular cpu benchmark, to see how well the cpu performs
 

Next up are some synthetic benchmarks. The benchmark settings are as follows
3DMark Fire Strike for High Performance PC at 1920x1080, DirectX 11
3DMark Time Spy Extreme at 2560x1440, DirectX 12
Unigine Valley at 1920x1080 High settings, DirectX 11
Unigine Superpositon at 1920x1080 Medium settings, DirectX mode
Here is PCMark8
Next up LuxMark
Time for some gaming benchmarks. Numbers are in Frames Per Second (FPS). Some games are frame capped and those without mentioning of what quality its running at, means those games don't offer those settings.
Now for some real world benchmarks

Price starts out at msrp of $720 dollars for the AMD FX platform and Intel 8th gen stock configuration is just $10 dollars more, starting at $730 dollars. The pen cost $60 dollars for models that does not come included. Some models can be customized by selecting the list of parts that can be choose from. There are different series these laptops, so pay close attention to the model you want, because the physical appearance and design are different from one another. HP Envy line of laptop has always been about having premium quality parts without breaking the bank, and the HP Envy x360 seems to have meet this goal, by giving users a premium looking laptop, with a reasonable price tag. So if your out there currently look for a laptop, then consider checking out the HP Envy x360.

Natsume Yuujinchou - one of my favorites
Mushishi - pretty good episodic slice of life series. 
 
You can give Toradora a try if you want some slice of life with romance in it, it's a bit old but was pretty popular.
 
 

1) As I said, $130 was the ASKING price and I haggled down to $105
 
2) It's not a card it is an animation cel.  As in it is one of the actual pieces of celluloid that had the art carefully painted onto it and was then layered over other celluloid sheets, such as the background. to make a complete image and then photographed to make a frame of animation.  It quite literally is a piece of the animation process that has been resting in a bag for some 19 years since that episode was produced.  I imagine you think it is card because there is a piece of cardboard behind the celluloid sheet to protect the paint on the back and to allow you to act as a background on an otherwise transparent medium.

Is not.
Doesnt matter. Most of us dont talk to each other anyway. 
 
Now if you would just sign on this paper.

I'm gay, haven't kissed a guy yet though, a guy asked me out... but I'm not comfortable showing my sexuality in public.

Andrew WK- Party Hard
Survivor- Eye of the Tiger
Psycho Teddy- Psycho Teddy
Leo Moracchioli- I Like to Move it
Leo Moracchioli- Cotton Eye Joe
Alter Bridge- Champion

A fair bit of Linkin Park comes to mind. Other bands such as ThirtySecondsToMars and Starset would also be good ones.
 
Papercut - Linkin Park.
New Divide - Linkin Park.
Radioactive - Imagine Dragons.
Amsterdam - Nothing But Thieves.
Faint - Linkin Park.
This Is War - ThirtySecondsToMars. Walk on Water is also a really good hype song, but might be a bit newer than what you're looking for.
Monster - Starset.
Carnivore - Starset.
Feel Invincible - Skillet
Good Life - OneRepublic
Misery Business - Paramore
Fight - All Good Things

Hmm... try Zack Hemsey, good orchestral music and rap (the instrumentals version are without the rap), my favorites would be "Don't Get In My Way" and "The Way", both orchestral version.
Other similar artists includes Starset and Two Steps From Hell and even some of the Cinematic Orchestral and Sleeping At Last.
Also "This Is War" by Thrity Seconds To Mars because nostalgia. Linkin Park also comes to mind if we are talking about nostalgia. 
 
"The Pretender" by Foo Fighters if you like rock music. there's also a song name "Amsterdam" by Nothing But Thieves that gets pretty hyped. 
"Monster", "Who We Are" and "Bleeding Out" by Imagine Dragons because I don't think most people pay attention to their older songs.
Also anything by The Score is an automatic hype. 
Grandson is also a band that has some hype songs. 
"Speechless" by Stone feat GDyN.
if you want some anime openings, Overlord Season 2 OP, Re:Hamatora OP, Death Parade OP and Kokkoku OP
Also the song "Beat Of My Drum" by POWERS and "Everything Black" by Pluto if you like more techno stuff. 

My most recent hype music is the music for Gun Goddess Miss fortune Login Screen cause those trumpets are just oof, spicy stuff.

That's all for now I think. I would reccommend some old stuff but I don't remember any at the moment. 
Ah, "Kids in America", "Ready Or Not"

edit: Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird, Warframe maintheme music

We use to the be the biggest thread on the forum back when we were actively doing club activities. 
 
We should still be the most viewed thread if I'm correct.

Fate Zero is, in fact, the prequel of the original Fate/Stay night. When Fate/stay Night is about the fifth Holy Grail War in 2005 (I am not sure if it is what it's called in English), Fate Zero is about what happened 10 years ago, the fourth Holy Grail War.
 
Everything is related to the main story:
 
At the end of Fate/Zero, Emiya Kiritsugu order sabre to destroy the Holy Grail, the contents of the Grail spill out and cause a massive fire in new town. Kiritsugu found an orange hair boy who is dying. To keep him alive, Kiritsugu put Avalon into his body and later adopted the boy(Emiya Shirou).
Now Shirou got Avalon (the media to summon). But it is not enough to summon a servant, he still needs a Magic Circle. If you remember in the later part of Fate Zero, Irisviel becomes so weak that she needs to stay in a magic circle connected to Sabre to stay functional as human. Where is that circle? In the storehouse of Kiritsugu's House. So now you know why Shirou summon Sabre back at home, and not at school when he is attacked by Lancer. And it also explained why Shirou is always going to summon Altria, with Avalon as media. There are more back stories like that all over the place in Fate Zero and different line of Fate.
 
Btw, Japanese like to use the word Zero in prequels: No Game No Life: Zero, Fate Zero... the name said it all.
 

Yeah I'm planning to see one tmr.

You need to fathom what is just sexual fantasy and what is your real sexuality, there is stuff i fantasize over that i know i would never do in reality because it would hurt me, i won't enjoy it like i do in my head etc.. reality is very different to fantasy, and because you are at an immature place at least sexually you cannot discern between the two.

So a few things to start:
 
1. You don't choose to be gay. You are or you aren't. You are born with your innate sexuality. It's genetic.
2. The Gay-Straight thing is a spectrum, not a binary thing. You can be straight, gay, or bisexual. And bisexuality can come in many forms, with a wide spectrum of where you fall.
 
Throughout the entire post, you basically said women don't arouse you. But you've been aroused by men before. I think that probably means you're gay, but it's possible you're bisexual and simply lean towards men.
 
You could also be asexual (asexual are people who don't get sexually aroused by either sex - even though in some cases they can enjoy sex and being with a partner).

Quite frankly it depends whether or not you find someone you like? I had a lesbian period of my life but when I met my current boyfriend we worked so well together I went back being straight for him [:

My answer may not be what you wish to hear, but.... you don't have to figure it out in the first place. Be with whomever you're attracted to and comfortable with. You don't need to label yourself as gay or straight, or even bisexual. Heck, you may even find that one year you feel more towards men and then the next year you may actually be reeling more towards women, and in such a case neither of those two strict labels would be enough to define you in the first place. Just go with whatever you like and you may one day just simply stumble upon the label that you feel matches you.

figure out which hole you desire most
ass both sexes have
mouth both have
now where it differs do you want to hold a penis or vagina
most of the sexually confused steer towards homosexuality due to the fact they feel more comfortable around same sex as themselves which is easily viewed as "i'm gay cause im more secure feeling around same sex than opposite sex"
no matter what choice is made make it due to what your heart says not from fear/uncomfortableness around opposite sex to yourself
sorry for quite vulgar worded start but it is the least confusing words i know that hopefully are not viewed with wrong intent
personally i do not care what choice anyone makes as it has zero effect on me 
your body your life your choice how to use both
irregardless of gay/straight relationships domestic issues always happen
best question to ask is will i be able to forgive my partner when fights happen or is it trully just a physical relationship?

Yaas.  That stuffs the bomb.  For other peoples refenlrence I'm going to cross out what I've seen, thanks for the list
