And hearing such nice things to say about each other. In my family its all jokes at everyone elses expense, not lovey dovey emotion time...

*secret envy*

Don't worry... I have plenty of assholes in the family.
It's not like we set each other's dates or anything... but whenever we find someone who we like, we nearly always say, "I don't mind having him in the family."

I know it's her life and I wouldn't personally invade it by tellling her, "Go out with this guy!" But... if I can help her nudge towards a guy who's sweet, handsome, and good... someone who I treat as a brother... then, hey... why not? If she got another asshole of a boyfriend again, then I'll make my distance. But I can always hope she will pick a "Munoz" type of person, which means you need to be fucking witty as hell.

When I was at Mexico, lots of people tried to hook me up with their family members (to no avail.) I know how to make people laugh but I'm a good guy too. I guess it's a cultural thing...

My cousin married his wife because his sister wanted her friend to be in the family... my cousin genuinelly liked her and two years later, they married. Now the two girl friends are sisters-in-laws!

And my uncle Ruben was my dad's best friend when they were 8 years old. He married to my dad's sister. And they were married for 30 years before he died.

You should make it like that mtv show and have two of us at a time date her while you sit in a van and tell her every time we lie.

I haven't seen MTV for a LONG while... but when I work out, I LUVVVVV to watch "Next."
One time I caught a show that sounds similar to your description... it hooked up people who don't know how to date with attractive people. There's a guy who's telling the person with a microphone near the ear on what to say and how to act.

It's like a modern day Cyrano de Bergerac...

The fun part is that whenever someone says that have class and ass you know they're lieing.

Yeah, that's exactly what i was talking about. They have a friend with lie detectors. You know all about us from our famelial lounge bond so nothing would get past you. But you still get to hang out in a van because vans are cool. Or we could try a room raiders set up because I've always wanted to see one of the girls run out of a guys room screaming.

Sorry, party's over now.

Stafff, I know that it was only a few pages ago we talked about Scrubs, but your love of vans reminds me of the Janitor, and his idea of a date would be "going vanning", or simply driving around, but in a van.


Oh. Your. God.

I was sitting on the steps, minding my own business, browsing the internet, and a rat came up and started drinking the glass of lemonade I had set down beside me!

Excuse me, I have to go rescue our doormat. There are rats chewing on it.

I love my boys, but they're a handful sometimes...

No, they were having free time. Once or twice a week I let them out to roam around the foyer for 45 minutes to an hour.

That's why I sit on the stairs. And they're pretty good about not running under your feet, unlike some of the cats I've owned over the years. Plus, I don't think you grasp just how big they are - it's pretty easy to keep track of them. These are some big-ass rats.

There's one out there now that's receiving major support: a resolution demanding that France change its national slogan to "Home of the Cowards". Damned if I know what the slogan was before.

I must be going, gentleman. I have a resolution to draft that's going to liberate 10,000 Brazilian slave-farmers. Don't ask about the other 15,000. We've conveniently forgotten about them.

Not a regular, but I noticed what you had written about the French.....I don't think it should be "Home of the Cowards".....maybe "Home of the Shit-talkers" or "Home of the Let's-Hate-Americans-Until-Another-WW-St arts-Then-We-Will-Welcome-Them!"

I don't believe in minimum requirements.
I have an Nvdia GeForce FX 5200, the cheapest (and therefore slowest) card to use the AGP 8x bus. I don't know why they made it for 8x (well, yes, marketing), since 4x is enough for its processing power. It's more of a Geforce 4 series performance wise.
Anyway, back to the game, there were parts, for example when it was raining, that the card could only give me 1 FPS, and I pressed ctrl alt delete, and saw my CPU being used around 40%, meaning the card was the bottle neck. After days of frustration I uninstalled it.

My cat is not clever enough to learn not to zig zag in front of me when I'm walking. I step on her tail or feet at least twice a day.

Don't let them hear you, they will get offended.

Man, I saw a squirrel get hit by a car yesterday. I don't mean run over, I mean it was struck by a vehicle. I was riding my bike and heard a "WHACK!" sound, and I thought that someone had run over a squirrel, and I saw one laying in the middle of the road.

However, I realized that it wasn't squashed at all, and it must have been hit by the bumper in mid-air. Turns out it was just stunned, and it got up and ran off across the rest of the street.

It looked fucking freaked out after that, though.

A crazy dude ran over some demonstrators a couple of thousands kilometers where I live so I'm not going to school. Well, I'm partly going to school, because some unions are on strike and some are not, meh.
I've been to PE after... 3 weeks? lol, and since there were only 4 of us (but later some other students showed up, and we turned out to be 13) the teacher, who was not feeling very enthusiastic about the class, decided that we played football. That was, of course, after he could lose enough time chatting about how Argentina had played that afternoon (we lost 2-1 to Norway, NORWAY) and how we were doing, how my classmates had been in Bariloche, checking who had come, take 10 minutes to pick up the ball, etc. I hadn't played in a while, but since are my classmates are terrible, I didn't look so bad. It was quite cold, I couldn't feel my hands, and they were swollen when I arrived at my home, and I ended with some bruises and some scratches (if the pitch is made of concrete, you're bound to) but it was fun. Playin with your friends is the most important thing.
I'm exhausted, partly because with my illness and red letter days my sleep patterns have become irregular. Strike tomorrow and in seven days, I won't go back to normal in a while :(
