Ok so, I hardly ever post here, perhaps never. But, if anyone would have the answer to my question it would have to be the world of girl_gamers. Anyway, I am slowly but surely working on a site for online text based Role-Playing. This of course is based soley on Creative writing and everything. Once I get it up and going there are going to be prizes for best post of the week and whatever else. You know, incentive for good writing. Even scholarships once I get my writing foundation off the ground.

Yea, I'm a geek for writing. But then someone told me something that had me sadly dismayed. They said, "Online Text Role-Play is dead, incase you didn't know." Is that true? Do people only get involved in MUDs and MMOs? So I suppose that is the point of my inqury to find out if people even write creatively online any more or has the art truly died and I have either missed the train or completely wasted my time?

For the second time during my vacation, I woke to an alarm. This time it was a little 'late' (6:30am) which helped to recover from the residual jet lag. In order to extend my stay in Santa Monica, I wanted to return to the hostel as early as possible to re-book my room. Once that was taken care of, my mind was at ease and I went to the beach with D to play frisbee. We parked illegally and felt that remaining within a reasonable distance to the car could help (as though while the ticket was being written we could somehow turn back the clock and move the car, leaving the meter maid scratching his/her head in bewilderment.) In order to make the game more active than a standard two-person frisbee toss, I decided that running in a circle would help. So I'd catch, run, throw, and David good naturedly played along. After a rigorous cycle of landing on my knees after each throw and on my belly for every-other-catch, we took a nice thirty minute run along the water's edge. I was enchanted by the beautiful birds and engaged in a fierce custody battle over my left foot (it was me versus the sand). I sort of wish the outcome had been different.

By the end, D and I were sweaty and slick with heaving chests, so logically the next activity included buying boba smoothies and taking a walk along Ocean Avenue. We took a picture of ourselves near the pier on D's phone and sent it to Alisha.. we wish you were here, the text read. We meant it.

After playing in the sand, I needed to take a shower and dress professionally in preparation for the opening ceremonies for the AAPS - American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists - Conference (the reason that I was visiting California in the first place.) This took between 40 minutes and an hour during which David played the piano and sang. It was gorgeous. D and I had Indian food for lunch and he gave me a ride to the conference center (downtown LA, 12-15 miles away.) Originally I was going to take the bus, but was running a bit late after lunch and didn't want to risk missing the free way bus and getting stuck for 2.5 hours on a local line.

I was an hour early but come to find out, was not rewarded for my promptness because I did not sit in the appropriate place therefore was not taken back stage to be brought out for the presentation of awards. It was a bit ironic because when the "AFPE Gateway to Research Scholarship Winners" were recognized, my name was the only one that showed up on the big monitors but three people who were not me and whose names were absent stepped forward. Oh well, I received my certificate at a later time and missed the photograph. I emailed Dr. Straubinger (my adviser) and was excessively apologetic -- I also caught up with other UB faculty members who were present and found that they were more concerned that I had been in the audience (as opposed to having gotten lost or attacked on the way, as two of the faculty members had given me their phone numbers in case I "got in trouble" since I was the only student who was staying at a non-conference hotel.) I was thankful that no one was angry or disappointed.

Despite the name of the organization, its membership includes many international pharmaceutical scientists and research firms. As a result, there were more than 5,000 people attending including vendors from all over the world. The opening reception featured a live brass band which completely overwhelmed the crowd (trying to have a conversation with your left ear while trumpets and French horns are blaring in your right is rather difficult.) I managed to swap numbers with a few for purposes of joint sight seeing/hanging out later in the week. The food was not terribly "pescetarian"-friendly, but I managed to find some spring rolls so it was a good night. The Indian lunch was enough to sustain me through the afternoon and evening to be honest.

I left the reception around 7 and visited a bodega in Santa Monica to purchase fresh fruit for breakfast. After that I studied for my kinetics exam and went to bed. It seemed unbelievable that my trip was already halfway over.

So I never do these meme things, but it's a rainy Saturday, so why not?

- Reply to this meme by typing "hey girl hey!"
- I will then give you 3-5 words that remind me of you.
- Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.


My girl [info]sammydebutante gave me...


Body Mods: I've got two passions in life - sociology & body modification. It's my art, my soul. I've got roughly 15 tattooes & 20 piercings, several of which are stretched (1" lobes, 4ga seconds, 8ga tragus', 0ga tounge, 10ga septum). My ears were scapelled, which was probably the most intense body modification I've recieved to date. I plan on getting wrist implants, scarification on my thigh & some sort of branding. This Thursday I'm going to Nashua, NH to get a chest microdermal. I've got plans for a half sleeve, a full back piece, a side piece, armpit pieces & the tops of both my feet. I don't know what kind of woman I would be if I have never discovered the beauty of body modification. It helps me like myself, inside & out. I physically wear my heart on my sleeve... on my skin... & I would have it no other way.


Jen: My heart & soul; my best friend & girlfriend. Jen ([info]lovebuzz03) & I have been together for nearly 8 months. We met because of the community [info]dyke_riot. She lived in Riverside, California & I live in Portland, ME. We first commented to each other about 3-4 years ago. She became close with a girl who lives in Portland & began texting me because she was going to possibly come move here, just to start fresh. We immediately fell in love & within a month of texting, I paid for her to move out here. She is the woman I'll be spending the rest of my life with. She's genderqueer, which I think is a beautiful, brilliant thing. She keeps me grounded & sane & I help her keep her head in the clouds. We match perfectly & I can't imagine ever wanting to leave her.


Hair Color: I've been dying my hair since I was 12. The first time I dyed it, I tried to get brown hair with blonde highlights. I ended up with orange hair. At the time, I was scarred. I guess I didn't know that 6 years later, I'd be dying my hair pumpkin orange. My hair has been every color under the sun... twice. It's currently purple, which I'm fading out. I'll be dying my hair electric blue in Decemember. It's very thin & very dead because of the amount of bleach I've put into it, but I'm not particularly considered with that.


Drinking: I enjoy drinking... probably too much. I'm what my friends call a "functioning alcoholic". I pay my bills, I hold a full-time job, I have a great relationship with not only my girlfriend but both my parents as well as a solid group of friends, ect. It just so happens that 4-5 nights out of the week, I'm drunk. I prefer dark rum & vodka over other liquors & PBR over other beers. It's not bragging when I admit that I can drink you under the table. I'm sure someday I'll stop drinking, but it's not really an issue for me at this point in my life.

I've been looking for some good online/multiplayer Xbox 360 games so that I can justify buying an Xbox Gold subscription (I'm still looking so if you have any suggestions....). Halo 3 and CoD4 are really common recommendations, and so I was wondering - do you need to play the first games in a series in order to enjoy them?

From my own (though slightly limited) experience, I've found that you don't. I got the Orange Box last Christmas (mainly so I could play Portal), without having played Half-Life 1 and I found that didn't detract from Half-Life 2 at all. Same with Saints Row 2. What do you guys think?

Where can I get a bag similar to the Coach side sling bags? I want something that will be easy to carry on my vacation that's also cute and not bulky, but I don't want to spend that much on one. I'm thinking up to $50 if it's good quality, but I'll take any kind to get ideas.

Sooo I'm looking for a link to a collection on pictures and I'm not sure but I think it was called intimacy. I saw it posted a while ago on here.
It's basically a ton of really good photos of couples and I think single people being intimate. They show everything though and most are nude. I know someone knows what I'm talking about. So please post the link. Thanks!

I am at my wit's end! I'm trying to figure out the name of a song that I've heard twice. I once heard it on a Sirius radio station while playing pool; the first time I heard it, though, was on a commercial on TV. I wanna say it was a car commercial... but I don't know for sure.

I don't know how the song goes, but I SWEAR that Jack White is one of the singers & it's none of his 3 bands (Dead Weather included); I already checked. The song is very funky & rock-like, & there is a girl singing with him. This song came out not too long ago, & it has an indie sound to it.

I know this is a long shot, but I'm desperate. I've looked all over the internet, checked all the top charts, with no such luck.


Help?

I'd love to see pictures of girls wearing strapless shirts & dresses/tank tops.

I'm all shy about my upper arms and I figured the way to do that would be to see other people showing them off, so I'll figure out that its really not a big deal, haha.

I'm planning on getting a tattoo for my birthday this December. I pretty much have it all planned out, the coloring is the only complicated part. I was planning on getting a lotus flower with kind of a vintage looking feel. I wanted to stick with neutral colors like black, white, grays, etc. I have it pictured in my head, but I'm unable to think of how to describe it. Does anyone have (or have pictures of) tattoos with this kind of coloring and feel?

So remember when I was warning everyone about the XboxLive bannings? Well apparently Microsoft isn't playing around. It has been reported that Microsoft has dropped the Ban-Hammer on between 600,000 to 1 Million consoles.

Needless to say, right now used Xbox 360s are selling for next to nothing- Craigslist is flooded with them. But be forewarned, Microsoft says "If you purchase a modified console second-hand, the warranty is not transferable and the purchaser assumes the risk for any previous modifications... If you purchase a console that has been previously banned, you will not be able to connect to (Xbox) Live.

On the other hand, if you're looking for a modded system (with no interest in going online) your in luck! Their dirt cheap and readily available.

One last thing. There have been people on Craigslist and other forums offering money to un-ban peoples systems. Don't fall for it! Honestly you're better off just buying a new 360.

(edit: The pic is not a console ban. I posted it cause I thought it was funny.)
 
 
I woke to my alarm at 5am, ate a blueberry crisp Clif Bar and valencia orange, laced up my running shoes, and ventured 0.1 miles north to the beach. I ran into a group of runners who asked where I was from and if I was training that day. Come to find out, they were part of a marathon training group! I talked to them about the best routes but politely declined an invitation to join their session -- the slower heat had left around 4:45am and I was not fast enough to run with the group that was currently accumulating. I set off on my own and was surprised at the number of people who had beat me to the beach/pier. In college, I am the overachiever crazy-person who wakes up at 5am to exercise. Here, I was merely one of the pack of people who did this, but not the earliest or "craziest." This leads me to one of the things that I loved most about California -- how active everyone seemed to be! I saw some very creative forms of exercise; men using "low" (6-6.5 foot) projections near the base of telephone poles to do military pull-ups, massive groups running and biking with purpose. It was a really invigorating environment and something that I wish I had in Buffalo. It's also possible that these groups exist and I am unaware of them. A little Internet research is in order.

After my run, I returned to the beach for about an hour to take pictures and splash in the water. I returned to the room to find Lenora (my Argentinian dinner date from the night before) freshly showered and ready for breakfast, so we went together. There we met Habib (sp?) -- a German and Tunisian man living in the UK who was considering moving to California for the climate. He had very friendly eyes and super-curly hair, a very nice breakfast companion indeed.

Breakfast Part II for me consisted of a cup of coffee which I gulped down before hastily researching all of the places that I wanted to visit. By 10am, David was waiting in the lobby to pick me up. He and I had never met before, but we share a common best friend: Alisha (lives in Portland, OR, have not seen her since she visited Buffalo nearly two years ago :( ). D and I found that we were freakishly comfortable with one another. We were able to slip nto very fluid conversations instantly, and a few times we even said the same 6-10 word phrases in perfect unison and were able to connect in a very philosophical, intellectual way. I can't explain it any differently.

The first thing we did was drive out to Hacienda Heights to see the Hsi Lai Temple (Buddhist temple designed after the ones in China and Thailand. Fifteen acres of immaculate gardens and shrines.) I could say that it was magnificent, awe-inspiring, beautiful, amazing, and all of these things would be true but even cumulatively, they do not capture the beauty of this place. We happened to arrive during a ceremony in the main shrine which consisted of incense burning, choreographed candle lighting at the alter, and intense chanting. Afterward the monks and congregation solemnly paraded from the main shrine to an adjacent music hall where worship resumed.

After perusing the gardens, D and I made a $1 donation to the museum and entered to view beautiful art -- sculptures, prayer beads, paintings, and more. Some had been donated from temples in Asia and the rest was created by Hsi Lai "parishoners." It was very peaceful and beautiful. D and I felt that we were on the docent's bad side because she banged on the glass to tell us not to take pictures (there wasn't any signage saying that you couldn't and the person who greeted us said that photos were allowed everywhere except the main shrine.) Upon exiting, we wanted to show our reverence/sincere apology. That plan was thwarted, however. Three children under the age of ten (assumably 'belonging' to the docent) were crowded around a laptop looking at a Powerpoint presentation. A 7 or 8 year-old boy said, "Yeah, this stuff is for a poster that I made for school. Some other kid copied me and I got pissed so I beat him up." He said the last part very passionately and the other two children nodded as if to say Good for you, I would've done the exact same thing. This scene was perfectly juxtaposed against the peaceful, reverent atmosphere of the museum and I laughed. Oh God, I must have appeared so obnoxious!

After leaving the museum, we discovered a dining hall where a vegan buffet was served for a nominal donation. Of course we decided to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. D was, without a doubt, the tallest, whitest person in the hall! Warm buns with red bean paste and vanilla custard were polished off for dessert and then we hit the road again. Destination: Will Rogers State Park to meet up with Brandi! It was already nearing 3pm, leaving us with about two hours of daylight. We went on a short hike around the mountains with a gallon of water, a bottle of merlot (no glasses; we just passed the bottle like pirates), a botte of Jameson (I didn't touch that bad boy), and a frisbee. Of course I was wearing a dress, but I brought sneakers "just in case." The hike was really interesting because in the beginning we were surrounded by deep canyons and pastures with grazing horses, but the terrain changed substantially as we went along. Within 30 minutes, we enjoyed a beautiful view of the Los Angeles skyline, and another view gave us views of the beach on the other side of the mountain. Not bad for a short, two-hour adventure that was interrupted with picture taking, laughter, and general debauchery. We met a well-to-do lady and her dog who permitted me to take their picture. I was busy talking to every dog/horse/other animal that we ran into. ( And again, I was impressed at how natural it was for me to hang out with Brandi, and for the trio of us to hang out together. It was pretty magical. It felt like I was having some sort of reunion with old friends that I haven't seen in years instead of people who I was barely acquainted with and who had only met through me. )

After the park, we went down to the beach. About 30 surfers stayed past sunset to ride the waves in the dark. David brought a guitar, Brandi carried a blanket, and I brought my camera. We didn't stay long enough to use the blanket and I was the only one who would go into the cold Pacific without a wet suit but God it felt glorious being in the ocean, any ocean, a week and a half before Thanksgiving. There's no time like NOWvember.

All of that scrambling around left us with monster-sized appetites so we went to Kuma sushi with David's high school friend Jillian. The party continued at apartment with an amazing live concert in the living room. Her boyfriend Alex came home, we shook hands and had a brief introduction, and again, jet lag set in and I was down-for-the-count by 11:30 pm. Since D was no longer capable of driving me home, we slept adjacent to one another on the floor. I was curled in a sleeping bag and the last thing I remember was my eyelashes fluttering and thinking to myself, "This is the life. I am not going to switch to the Hollywood hostel, after all. I am going to stay in Santa Monica."

 
 
This is it! It is time to savor my reward after a week of completely disrupting my circadian rhythm in order to take four exams one week early. I am going to spend six days in Los Angeles; the first two will be spent in Santa Monica and the next will be in downtown L.A. (accommodations in Hollywood.) This is my first time flying by myself -- and traveling myself at all and going to the west coast, actually. The prospect is exciting but also a bit stressful. I know that I am perfectly capable of entertaining myself and managing my schedule, but I am worried about my lack of street smarts.


I "slept in" until 4am and finished my therapeutics and pharmacology exams by 10:30am. At that point, all I had to do was run through my list of things to pack and make sure that I wasn't leaving anything behind. Teresa was kind enough to make a stop at Amy's for lunch before taking me to the airport.





After my exams, I threw down my books & binders ... v a c a t i o n h a s (had) b e g u n !!



I have not been in an airplane since 9/11 and was glowing with inexperience. Of course I've heard about the increased security measures on the news, but was very clumsy when actually faced with the process. Monkey-see-monkey-do mentality took over and I simply followed the man in front of me: grab two gray bins; put jacket, shoes, and computer outside of carrying case in one; put my carry-on in the other; and put the whole kit and caboodle on a conveyor belt. I tried to open what I perceived to be a glass "gate" but was quickly summoned by security personnel to make my way to the left and go through the same white arch as everyone else. Oh, and did I mention that while I was kicking off my flip flops, my Sigg was lifted to my lips to bring the total volume below 3 ounces?

I was fortunate enough to secure a window seat which gave me a safe place to lean for my 4-hour nap (the first leg of the flight -- Buffalo, NY, to Phoenix, AZ -- was only 4.5 hours long but I needed the rest). For the remaining half hour, I was shaking off the grogginess and trying to get my ears to pop while admiring the vast, varied terrain below. It is so interesting to see mountains and water and condominiums and swimming pools from above. We landed in Arizona around 4:10pm PST and had a few minutes to stretch our legs before moving forward. The sun set around 5 and we were off to Los Angeles!

Disembarking from the plane for the second (and last) time felt good. On the way to the baggage carousel, I turned on my Blackberry to discover that "No network can be detected." I saw a few other Blackberry owners using their phones and politely asked if Verizon was their carrier and if they had service. I heard the combination of responses that I dreaded, yes and yes. But, first thing's first first: claim baggage, and after that worry about your phone. My pharmacokinetics professor was on the same flight, so after we snagged our suitcases he allowed me to make two phone calls to alert my friends about my technological difficulties. After 30 minutes of sweating bullets while speaking to a dreadfully patient technical support representative, I was able to get my phone up and running again. Okay, now I'm off for real -- out of the airport and into the fire.

I felt like I woke up in a Death Cab For Cutie song -- specifically "Why you want to live here?" or "405." While waiting for The Big Blue Bus, I met a thin Asian girl named Bianca who was incredibly talkative and had a suitcase that weighed nearly as much as she did (80 lbs. is very big for a suitcase, but not a person, I guess.) She said that she had just competed in the preliminary stages of the Miss Hollywood pageant. I congratulated her and our friendly chatter continued for a few more minutes and somehow she managed to finagle my number from me. "I will call you if I ever need anything in New York!" she said as she boarded her bus. Within five minutes, she called and left a voice mail reminding me of her name and inviting me to "call her if I needed anything." I got a bit of a chuckle out of this. (No, I have not, nor do I intend to call her back.)

I made it to the hostel in Santa Monica (between the 3rd Street Promenade and the Pier) and found a very safe, busy neighborhood. I settled into my room with a growling belly. Just by asking, "Who hasn't eaten dinner yet?" I managed to recruit two dinner companions -- Melanie from Sydney, Australia, and Lorena from Buenos Aires, Argentina. We decided on a Thai Restaurant called Buddha's Belly where we had a delicious meal and a few drinks. Lorena and I each ordered a muddled mai thai (three shots of rum, orange & pineapple juice, crushed strawberries) and Mel chose a lychee martini. When the drinks were served, I naturally reached across the table and clinked glasses with Lorena, and there were cheers all around. The last two to clink glasses were Lorena and Mel. Mel was looking at me while reaching out her drink and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Lorena pulling her hand away. "You must look at me," she said. Mel and I must have appeared completely confused because Lorena quickly explained, "In Hispanic culture, not making eye contact when giving cheers means seven years of bad sex. Kristin had the right idea, she was staring right at me," and we erupted in laughter.

After dinner, Mel and Lorena walked me to the Santa Monica Pier (a stone's throw from the hostel and restaurant.) We took our time strolling, checking out the Cirque de Soleil tents and taking pictures of the brightly lit ferris wheel. Vendors were selling ice cream and sarongs that can fold into 110 "unique" garments, tourists were passing on tandem bicycles ... the Pier was surprisingly alive for what Californians consider to be a "chilly" night (in the 50s/60s.)

By 11:30 PM, I was in bed, dead-tired and jet-lagged.

pictures from the streets of Santa Monica on a Friday night )


I could not get over how beautiful the ferris wheel was! In some of the pictures, I managed to include the moon. This, however, is the only one in which I captured the geometric heart ... and therefore it's my favorite.


Note: I was in LA for six days. I will recap each day with text and photos... so expect a surge of LJ activity over the course of the next few days! (Sorry for flooding your friends' pages but there's a good chance I'll disappear for a while after that ;/ )

Unless..you've been living under a rock and havent heard..


The NA/Eu release date of Final Fantasy XIII is officially March 9 2010.

Also in PlayStation Home's theatre (PS3 movie room.)

Also..Apparently..Leona Lewis is singing the theme song for FFXIII. Not too sure how I feel about that.

Anyway, share your reactions. I'm mostly curious to see whateverone thinks of a mainstream music artist being put in the game.

Just thought I'd post here rather than reply to you all individually! I'll shell out for the Elite, I probably would have regretted getting an 'inferior' model anyway, and with the Christmas sales I'm sure it'll be more than worth it. I completely forgot about the whole 'burn the game onto the hd' thing.

Does anyone have any game recs? So far my list includes only Saints Row, GTA4 (I have it on my PC but it doesn't wanna work AT ALL), Fallout 3 (again, my PC isn't happy about that), and... the Orange Box. Just so I can play it and be thankful my PC can at least handle TF2. ;)

I'm COMPLETELY new to the Xbox scene! The original Xbox is the only "next gen" (then gen?) console I didn't own so I have no idea what titles are meant to be awesome or not. I keep seeing games I quite like the look of and then forgetting all about them because, hey, I don't have an xbox. :P

Hi guys
I'm THIS CLOSE to buying (or asking Santa for) an XBox 360 and I'm a little confused by the options available to me. I've been very tempted to shell out for an Elite but... is it worth it?

My Xbox would be in the same room as my internet/PC/DVD/TV (entertainment hub, basically), and all I'd use it for is GAMING (and maybe the occassional hd movie). Should I just get the middle option (the 'premium'?) - 20 or 60GB hard drive?

I get the impression the Elite is good for major downloadable content but ...why would I ever need more than 60 (or even 20) gigs for a few games and additional content? keep in mind I'm in the UK, if that changes anything.

Thanks for any imput!

Do anyone knows of anyone that wants to buy the old Xbox console for $85? or anywhere besides Ebay to sale it.

It still has the sticker on the front buttons 2 controllers, I was giving it by a friend and hardly used it since I had more PS2 games. and can someone recommend a good shipping or should I have the shipping with the price above? and is the price above fair?.

Sorry for the strange post I am just in need to sale this since I already got rid of my PS2, in need of cash bad and selling my things is the only way I can see doing it, do not know where to sale the Xbox.

Thanks.


Edit:

Selling Original Xbox with 2 controllers, works great for only $35 or $40 will ship by media mail with shipping number if asked for one shipping is in price if you want me to, do not mind .

So if anyone know of or wants to buy this Xbox please do tell me PayPal payment only.

Was that a better post?

Ohk the use of 'dealzzzzz' is wrong cos it's actually just a single shady deal.

I was at a CERTAIN shopping mall when I saw this bag I liked!
It was simple and yet.... chic.
Contrary to popular belief, I am really not into super flashy things like diamantes stuck onto every possible surface or sequins covering the entire shirt... that sort of thing.
I like my attire to have something that stands out. But it's usually one single item that's supposed to stand out to brighten up the outfit....
Really not into wearing neon shirts and the works..........
ANYWAY I DIGRESS.

So I didn't buy the bag at first cos it was going at $50 and I didn't know if it was worth it.
However, my mind kept drifting back to it during dinner and after dinner (at about 9.30pm), I decided that I was going to get it.
This was subject to whether the place was still open or not cos the bag was actually being sold at the central exhibition area of the shopping mall and that closes at 9.30pm thereabouts.
When we got there (we meaning Huiru, Ling Ee and I : ) ), they had cordoned off the exhibition area with bars and yellow cords... closed for the night. But there was still a line of people queueing to pay for their stuff.
I lingered at the side of the exhibiton area and talked about the bag with my friends.
That was when I decided I was gonna try asking the saleslady (who's PRC) if she could let me in to buy it since I already knew what I wanted.
She was hovering near the bags' area packing stuff with her boss (who's also PRC) and immediately handed me the bag when I asked to look at it. HOWEVER, they didn't have a new piece and that was their last : (
Her boss saw my reluctance at getting the bag after hearing that there was no new piece and he immediately offered a $10 discount.......
Since I'd accidentally stumbled upon a good deal I decided it must be a sign that I should get the bag.
At this point the boss said to me in a low voice, "Not here not here. Outside. At the side. And cash only."
In Mandarin la of course.
So the 3 of us walked away quickly from the exhibition area as if escaping from a crime scene and I paid the boss with $40 cash in exchange for the bag.
At that moment it really felt as if we were dealing in drugs or something.
What a dark and mysterious origin this bag has.
And that is the end of my story HAHAHAHAHAAH Was that abrupt or what?!
Anyhoozzz the boss was also trying to recruit us to be his promoter or something. To which none of us was interested in at allzzzzzzz...

Ohk if you found that boringggg, here's some random shit for you!!!!!

Nonsense #1

Can you believe that BOYZ love this?!?!?!????
Like I don't know.
It's just weird. I feel like my 15 years of education is going down the drain whenever I watch this...................
Although it has a really catchy tune la hahahaha
Their songs are really made up of random exclamations..............
I do like Yoona though! She's like the girl in 1:04!
How do we compete with someone who looks like that seriously?!

Nonsense #2

Now the BOYZZZZ version!!!!
Except there's 1 X random fat guy.....
Weird.
Don't you think both videos are similar!?! haha Except they are of different genders la.
And the pitch of the music is very different duh. And the colour schemes are different too.
But otherwise, they work on SIMILAR CONCEPTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's really same same, but different.

But of course I prefer the BOYZZZzzz version.
Minus 1 X random fat guy.

Wheeeetz time for bed soooon! : )
It's such a nice coooool night for a good night's sleeeeeeep! : )

So I've finished "Letter to a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris. Amazing read I highly recommend it to anyone.

I did not pay 22 dollars for a book to justify my beliefs.
But I will tell you the content in there is too important to ignore. It'll be a pity for someone not to read it.

Dear ----------,

I sit before a high priest. A medieval court. A family who hates all that I love. Some broken blood lines and lineage left untouched. Their war wounds are worn at a time when I have no armor to offer.

To my family, you wont find what your looking for, not here, so stop searching. My happiness is fit for a king, for the sun that shines today, the four seasons I will brave even if it means a significant amount of blood loss. When Im throwing twenty years of an upbringing with you all away, shouldnt it show how much the truth means to me?
Guess not. Either way, I'm here, I'm clear, take it or leave it.

To you, breath,bone,body. Thank you. We've made it this far. Im giving thanks before a nation of others beats me to it.

And to you, you. Thank you. For being who you are. Doing what you do. And letting me partake in the brilliance.

Signed,
Eternally Grateful

So I have been hearing a lot about Aion since it came out. Thing is, I'm not hearing in-depth opinions on it. I refuse to play WoW because I am a natural obsessor and am too afraid I'll start ignoring my real life to play it. LOL. Not that likely, but I'm not risking it. Hubbs played WoW for less than 6 months before he ran out of stuff to do/obtain and got bored with it and quit.

Hubbs' friend lent us his cd, but we still need to cough up $50 for a cd key and we're not willing to do it without significant understanding of the game [since we can't try it out].

So, here's what I'd like to know from those of you who play/played Aion.

- Pros
- Cons
- Similarities to WoW
- Differences from WoW

Thanks in advance!

Changing "Blonde Moment" to 'Dumb Moment'.

Apperently, I offended people. I would like to say that I did not mean to offend anyone by saying this, and that I don't actually think blondes are 'dumb'.

I'm just used to the saying 'blonde moment'. Sorry.

-----------------

I was playing Legend of Zelda Windwaker with my lil bro. I was in some kinda forest-ish island. Well there's this one little island next to that place that makes statues of pictures that you take with your Pictobox.

The only way to get to that island is a long, complicated process of going from one plant to the next and next, going to the edge of the Forest Island, and using a special leaf to float from that island you're on, to there.

That is till you get a ladder right when you first visit.

I, even though I have used this ladder to climb DOWN from the Picto Island, did not think ONCE "Hey, I can use this to go UP the island."

I kept using the long annoying process and take the ladder as an exit, never occuring to me that I can use it as an entrance.

Could of been a real time saver.

So, what was your most dumbest moment while gaming?

Hey, I found a dress on stumble last year sometime, and sadly my bookmarks got deleted.
The dress was made by someone. It was metallic, and colourful, possibly strapless and I think the bottom part was shredded. 
Any help is awesome!

Hey all --

Does anyone have any pictures or know who the girl was who was in the process of getting her tattoo removed a couple of years ago? I think the tattoo was on her arm and was a heart(??) done in all red and maybe some white. I might be completely wrong, but that's what I'm picturing in my head. And I think she said she was doing it for her mom's bday or mother's day or something.

Anyway...

Does anyone have the before & after pictures of that or any REAL before and after pictures from getting tattoos removed? I'm thinking about getting one of mine removed as a present to my mom but I feel like the ones on the websites for the tattoo removal places have all been photoshopped. And NO it's not a bad tattoo -- my mom just absolutely hates it.

Thanks!
