Feytalist's Fantastically Freakish First Random Banter #171

[Teddy]

Because we have the Gulf Stream, and you don't.

But seriously, my home town lies on the same latitude as the southern tip of Greenland, and I'd have to go hundreds of kilometres just in order to find a glacier. People can live on agriculture above the polar circle (it works rather well, actually, thanks to the large amount of daylight hours in the summer). All this is thanks to the Gulf Stream (which is why we really wouldn't like it to turn around and go elsewhere).

Ahhh, ok. So unfair though, I don't like snow

[Feytalist]

And I live in the correct hemisphere of the world.

I've never even seen real snow.

Okay, weekend time. Later, chumps

[Teddy]

That is definitely the wrong hemisphere (even though snow isn't by any means restricted to the northern hemisphere, or any other hemishpere for that matter either). You need the winter to balance out the summer, and vice versa. They're fun because they're eachothers' polar opposites, and when you get tired of one, you can always look forward to the other.

Plus, it isn't a real christmas unless the ground is white and the sky is black. It just won't work otherwise.

Speaking of Christmas, the shops around here are being remarkably restrained this year. No Christmas music, very few decorations, I'm thoroughly impressed. They're selling Christmas merch already, of course, but that's somewhat understandable.

That...is really strange. Our store put the christmas stuff out before Halloween had ended.

Also, concerning the "Christmas=Snow+Darksky", I completely agree. It really does have a nice allure to it.

The Kroger i work at had Halloween stuff out in early september and put christmas stuff up... Last week, i believe. Maybe before.

We definitely started 'reindeer games' last week >.>

Same here. I didn't even notice.

Hooray, a game I can't play. Whoopie

Awwwwww. *hugs*

Also, hello everyone. *waves a lot*

I've never even seen real snow known true happiness.

Fixed that for you.

[Asta Kask]

Yes, but when that true happiness goes on for four smegging months I get a little sore. Not another winter like the last one.

It's not even Thanksgiving yet...

Snow's pretty and sometimes fun when it isn't knocking out the power for a week. But I wouldn't miss it very much if I lived on a beach somewhere. Someday...

ION: Went to the art museum today. Now I'm on vacation.

[AtlanteanTroll]

It's not even Thanksgiving yet...

Heliomance lives in Europe?

[HalfTangible]

It's not even Thanksgiving yet...

That's what i keep telling my mother my co-workers and my manager but they ALL seem insistent on starting christmas stuff now.

I mean, the shopping i understand. Even after Black Friday stores are going to sell out quickly. But why are we getting out decorations for the tree? We don't even HAVE a tree yet.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Heh. I got cast as the Marshal in Oklohoma! I have lines but I don't have any solos. Weeee!!

No Kansas City though. Only The Farmer and the Cowman. I think.

[Ranger Mattos]

You should talk to Ranger Mattos or August (araveugnitsuga) for some real quality avatars. Also, post a request in the avatar thread if you haven't done so. Also, maybe, possibly, conceivably, I make avatars as well.

Mattos, August, Strawberries, Ceika - these are just a few of the people on here that do really amazing avatars. If you want a fairly basic avatar, I could probably give it a shot.

You people think I'm a good avatarist?

I don't know where the little town called Gender lies, but it's certainly not close to here. This week we've finally had our first winter cold, which means that in the mornings, the ground was white with frost. It's so pretty.

Now we only need the first snow (and hopefully have it last). I don't think it'll come especially soon, however. It's getting warmer now in the weekend, apparently, and it's going to rain on Sunday...

Here in my section of Wisconsinland, we've been having cold for a while, and a little frost. But the little snow we get doesn't accumulate.

Hooray, a game I can't play. Whoopie

Well. We can't all sing Kansas City.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Well. We can't all sing Kansas City.

Not like it's a bad part though.

Oh man, 4 months of snow and that's it? That's awesome!

You people think I'm a good avatarist?

Forgot to mention, I too think you are an awesom avatarist!

[Heliomance]

Heliomance lives in Europe?

Aye, I'm in England. Should probably put that in my profile.

[Thufir]

Mattos, Zodiac, why can't you play Magicka?

[Eruantion]

You people think I'm a good avatarist?

I think you're actually a prominent avatarist. Not the most so, but still.

Mattos, Zodiac, why can't you play Magicka?

Well for me, as I'm sure it is for LaLa, no compatible hardware. My parent's computers are terrible. I'd be able to play once I get my new laptop for Christmas, though.

[LaZodiac]

Mattos, Zodiac, why can't you play Magicka?

My explanation is the same. My laptop is...not able to play it. Unfortunately, it looks amazing.

[Raddish]

Magicka is fun, it's a shame I can't play it either. Stupid limited download limiting my downloads...

Also random question/point; when you are reading a book and some sort of fast paced action starts do you peoples start reading faster without meaning too? I feel like I read them faster but I am not sure if my brain has just stopped realising the passage of time...

I do the opposite thing, though it might be my terrible attention span just skipping over most descriptions and not daring to skip an apostrophe when something cool is happening.

[LaZodiac]

Today is the dawn of a new day.

I don't know why, but I feel pretty happy today. Woo hoo, I hope to share it with others

*glomps*
Good for you. Me too as well.
Finally getting some work done, just taking a little break now... and now I realise I've only done 30 minutes work, meh, 10 minute break.
