I know what you mean. My dad drives up to New York State to teach skiing. Only thing is, he hasn't been able to do it often because it's so warm they can't make the fake snow. Rain also washes the real and fake snow away. We are getting snow both here and across the state line next week, so we'll see how it goes.
The only thing you forgot is all the grammatical inconsistencies, and maybe some more whining.
God, I never get tired of the thrill from being the one to blam crap movies.
Not doing much for New Year's Eve. I figure that's okay. Our water heater's broken. This means that if anyone wants a shower, Dad has to light the pilot light and we have to hurry before it goes back out.
I drank half a bottle of tequila earlier and didn't feel a damn thing. Either it was weak or my tolerance is increasing. Or, it may not hit me now, but will in the morning.
Usually I need the booze to put up with family members, but they were great tonight.
Illusion of Gaia. The idea and characters had potential (powers of darkness! WOO!) but bad design, bad controls, and bad plot killed it.
I wish my state didn't force me to go to a state store to buy booze. Like Skunky, I was also shocked the first time I saw liquor in a grocery store out of state.
This Christmas, we're going with Paula Deen's holiday punch. She uses an entire bottle of Southern Comfort. XD
The mom of one of my friends died last night. She ended up having to go back to the hospital for something (I think her blood sugar) and she had a massive heart attack. It really is a shame the woman died, but she was like many of the realtives some of you mentioned earlier--the ones who don't take care of themselves. I knew it would catch up with her eventually, I just didn't realize it would be this soon. At least she got to watch her daughter graduate from college.
The funeral's next Wednesday. Mom and I are going,

Shit, I need one of those.

The level of eccenticity and depravity I've found on Gaia is something that remains unrivaled on many other websites I've been to.
Isn't it great?
I can screw around with people in ways I can't here. I made a topic in Chatterbox asking "Need gold?" Inside, it said "Tough shit, I'm not giving any away." I got a ton of angry PMs. XD
Also, people who ask for ways to get gold really believe you if you tell them to hit Alt+F4 over and over.
I'm getting a motherload of whistle points in the Portal today. Guess the kiddies started Christmas break.

I've heard the opposite from my one friend who just graduated. Her work-study job had her feeding disabled students in the dorms. Not all of them can hold controllers, but they can still move their arms. So, the Wii is perfect for those students.
I'm home for winter break. I spent the majority of last night with friends who graduated from my undergrad school today. I'm gonna have to ask about that soon.
I played Twilight Princess for the first time. The Wii controls are actually quite simple, but take some getting used to, since you're so used to a controller. Dad also plays, so I can't play all the time. He's on it now. XD
Ah...I see now. I need to look at an entire picture and not its parts. When the "man at work" picture first loaded, I thought he was shitting a rainbow.
Fli, I may be a moron, but where's the link to the erotic art on the page? I can't find it.
I do love the art, though. Very realistic. I'm usually not big on art.
Flush them down the toilet from now on?
How did FUNK become associated with Adam Quinn Flashes? I'm confused.
You know, FUNK has a point. Up here, we have Yankees who go to their whites-only country clubs, play on their whites-only golf courses, then go to a meeting of their whites-only brotherhoods and complain how racist the South is.
That system that socked the Midwest is coming through tomorrow. I'm glad I got almost all of my errands today. I didn't buy booze for a party, though. I have the flu, and I started having more symptoms, so I decided to go back to my apartment and quit driving.
I saw the news about the storm. There was this woman in Texas going on about the roads. She was on the verge of crying, and said "It's freezing, it's dangerous, I wanna go back home where it's safe!" I thought to myself, "You pussy."
My mom has a friend who lives in Tennessee. The woman is originally from Alabama. She always said that the reason Southerners can't drive in the snow is because they all learned to drive on vehicles made by John Deere.
They can go ahead and execute the bastard, but once the US pulls out of Iraq, whenever that is, another dictatorship will just spring up anyway.

Met in a newsgroup. We just started talking and never really expected anything to happen.
SevenSeize, I had the exact same thing happen once when I had Launchcast open. I had to remove the Verizon Launchcast application from my comp, though, since it posed a security risk. Pity.
BTW, I'm curious--whereabouts in Louisiana do you live? My sweetie lives in Kenner.
Yeah, it's hard to get into the Christmas spirit when it's 66 degrees out.
I'm home for Thanksgiving break. I'm going back to school Monday. Now I know what I like about my apartment: Privacy.

Someone has to post this.

I haven't gotten the "get grilling" ad, but a variant of CoolWebSearch did show up on my computer. It came from one of those full-page ads that tried to download something.
What was really weird, though, is that it did absolutely nothing. No homepage changes, no search hijacks, no nothing. And it was very easy to remove. I find both extremely weird.
I ighly doubt Iran is a popular tourist destination to begin with.
BTW, my browser says that page might be a phishing website. I wonder why?
In my senior year of high school, we all had to take economics. We didn't learn how to make a killing in stocks or anything like that, but we were taught about the economy, earning money, and most importantly, how to prioritize and budget. More high schools need to teach that.
That being said, sex education is also important, but it's also important that kids know how to take care of themselves without asking Mom and Dad for money.
