Supagoof's Supa-Sensational Silly Symphonies Set Sizzingly On Fire Random Banter #131

[CrimsonAngel]

Do you know what Burger King is passing of as toys these days? I saw a funnel. A funnel.

[toasty]

If I had money, time, and a decent internet connection and a good computer (got the last one at least) I'd so spend them all on D&D Online...

See, I want to try and play EVE, because it sounds like a game that might be interesting. Even if it is totally brutal.

NY State Education system?

No, actually, its an online school and since we only meet (yes, we meet in a chat-room type thingie with our teacher) once a week, they only give week breaks. Since Christmas break is two weeks I guess that justifies the long wait till Thanksgiving break.

Ah...I'm doing that too...^^; We don't do online chat meetings though...but I think we ought to. It would be a huge improvement to the course.

Christmas holidays back in my old school were nine weeks for grades 11 and 12 >.>

I went to my first concert yesterday! I'm proud, because I didn't die in a mosh pit and I didn't lose my voice. There actually was a mosh pit, which didn't make any sense, because no hardcore music was played... I guess people were just pushing to make the experience as inconvenient as possible.

Anyway, It was The Academy Is..., Mayday Parade, and a few little opening bands that I don't remember the names of (I think one was called The Secret Handshake?). It was at the House of Blues in San Diego. I really came for TAI, though, so I left before Mayday Parade because it was like 10:30PM and I was tired of getting squished. But that's okay, because they gave me a signed poster before the show and talked to me (sort of).

Anyway, I was about five feet away from the band, which was the most exciting thing ever. So, when the lead singer, William Beckett, jumped out onto the railing in front of the crowd, I could touch him. That sounds fangirlish in retrospect but it seemed pretty important at the time. It was not the kind of opportunity one passes up.

It was kinda sad how all of the bands said, "You guys are the best fans ever!" and the crowd really believed that they meant it. They also got really excited when they said, "Hey, San Diego!"

I also went to the beach this weekend, but that's not as fun as this.

[billtodamax]

Bill's back, and he won his basketball game 20-18! Woo! Now I just have a hockey game in an hour 20.

[Dogmantra]

If I had lots of money, I would throw it at Jonathan Coulton and make him follow me around writing songs about my daily hijinks. It would never get old.

Well maybe it would, but I'd own Jonathan Frigging Coulton, so I wouldn't care.

[Pyrian]

...San Diego.

Wait, how long have you been in my town? I had no idea.

[CrimsonAngel]

I want to grow a goatie... so yeah.

[Em Blackleaf]

Wait, how long have you been in my town? I had no idea.

I already left. I got there at about 5PM on Friday, went straight to the House of Blues restaurant, had dinner, then went to the concert.

My friends and I slept in the family RV outside their family friend's house. Who, by the way, are very eccentric, interesting people.

I like San Diego. I think I want to live there.

[KataraAltinaII]

*Pauses in his reading to Nameless* DDO? o.o What exactly does that offer?

I'm still trying to find that out.
when I reach level 4 I might have to make desicions that involve money.

[Dogmantra]

By level 4, you'll have enough TP to buy the limit up to level 8 for at least one character.

Also: I saw the bottom of my avatar from the corner of my eye and thought Fred had come back

*huggleses*

Dood, I just took a 3 hour nap. When I woke up, I thought it was Sunday evening already. Like...20+ hours from now.

BEST. NAP. EVER. >.>

...D: Nooo. No time warp naps. I can't afford to lose twenty hours. ;-;

[Cobra_Ikari]

...D: Nooo. No time warp naps. I can't afford to lose twenty hours. ;-;

No, no, I'm saying 3 hours of sleep that felt like they must have been 23 hours of sleep. =P

*snuggleses*

[Kneenibble]

Aww man, I always have those atomic naps, where I fall asleep after class and wake up with a mouthful of sand and look at the clock thinking, "Aahhhhh! I overslept I'm late for school!" but it's 9:00 Friday evening.

So.
Anyone wanna get hammered? Where's that morbidwombat when you need him?

[Trobby]

No, no, I'm saying 3 hours of sleep that felt like they must have been 23 hours of sleep. =P

*snuggleses*

Oh...*snuggles back* mm...:3 Yesh...please share with me your awesome magical nap powers.

That happens to me every time. It's really annoying when you have something due the following day and you start panicking because you think that it's due today and you still haven't finished it.

What's worst is that tomorrow you will probably think it's Monday.

[Pyrian]

I like San Diego. I think I want to live there.

It's a fantastic place to live, IMO, but not cheap.

[toasty]

Ah...I'm doing that too...^^; We don't do online chat meetings though...but I think we ought to. It would be a huge improvement to the course.

Yes, it's really nice. The teacher is able to have a presentation(so, PPT or word or whatever) and has a mic, and is able to mic other people (so like, in my Lit class we have "oral sharing", in Latin we can answer questions, etc). Its a good system.

Heh...I think the school is trying to get permission for software that might do that, actually. Something called "Elluminate", that's supposed to allow chats and power point to be available as tools for students.

Even though it's called "SunyIT", as far as tech schools go, it's a little behind. ^^;

[Phase]

The closest my school gets is electronic homework distribution and classwork distribution and such.

Required materials: Macbook. Hell Yeah.

So everyone browses the web during class.

Ahh, we use something called GatherPlace. Then "moodle" for uploading assigments and stuff. GatherPlace is good. Mogdle... not so much. Though it kinda depends on the teacher. My Latin Teacher has his site set up perfectly, my Physics teacher... not so much.

In playground-related news, I've completed my first *tutorial-driven* OotS avatar! See if you can guess which tutorial I used based on the avatar I came up with.



I think she looks pretty good.

[billtodamax]

Trazoi's? That looks really good. Nice work.

[Coidzor]

So I went to my first dance show tonight. That was interesting, pretty cool too.

Got yelled at for being a guy after the show because one of the dancers has a stalker or something, which was pretty weird, I have to admit.

The dancing was mostly hip hop, and there was a good bit of zombie-theme to it.

[Nameless]

It's a childrens' story where instead of a dead girl like Alice, it's someone who is still alive?

*shrug*

That twist ending always took me for a turn.

Do not mock my typo’s!

[V'icternus]

...*Mocks*

Sorry.

I must be the only person who didn't make a copy of that avatar as my first in Inkscape. Looks good though.

I didn't either...
Well, actually I haven't finished making my first avatar in Inkscape, but I'm not making a copy of that one. Following the guide, but not copying it directly.
