Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII (177)

[Cobra_Ikari]

Just 'cuz you've piqued my curiosity -- how'd that work out for you?

Eh. She had flirted with me a lot before she found out I had a girlfriend, who I was in the process of breaking up with. This was a few months after said breakup that I decided to pursue her. Nothing came of it, though. *shrugs*

[enderlord99]

A picture is worth AThousandWords.

I also thought we weren't allowed to discuss "bananas" (bannings).

I suppose you can be hypocritical, but you should know it sometimes gets on peoples nerves.

Also, I have no idea why I'm even bringing this up now.

No-one did?

IIRC, Qaera is the playgrounder formerly known as AThousandWords. Hence why it's funny. =P

This is true; they used to post drawn pictures instead of typing out words. ("A picture is word a thousands words" )

[enderlord99]

Oh, I thought AThousandWords was banned for doing that, but apparently he just stopped doing it and changed his username.

Y'know, when he did it, it wasn't irritating or spammy in any way, and then he was forced to stop.

Then a moderator does so without contributing to the discussion in any way, and while getting on at least one person's nerves, and probably many, many more.

Does this mean that obnoxious spam is exempt from the rules?

Or are our moderators above those rules? If that's the case, they might as well troll and otherwise be massive jerks. Oh, look!

...I think I'm going to stop finishing my

Actually, she wasn't banned from doing so; only from doing it in every single post. (And because it could pose readability issues, a text to speech reader doesn't work on them for example.)

[DraPrime]

You are so going to be this guy when you're older. In fact, this is how I think of you.
Despite everything.

*ahem*

[pretentious voice]Anyone with expertise can clearly tell that he is not a monk, but a friar. Monks are cloistered, while this man is of a mendicant order, which means that he is a friar. The Capuchins are a branch of the Franciscan order, which is something that anyone with expertise on such matters would know. Those making this video are obviously ignorant and uneducated.[/pretentious voice]

All right, it's not actually that big a mistake. Most people don't know the difference. Brother Cesare is very cool, and I've heard of him before. He's wouldn't be a bad thing for me to age into, especially with the badass beard (mine is so much shorter). One day I will be like him, and enjoy metal in clerics. Unlike him though, I think I'll be showing up to concerts in a cassock.

Though knowing some people that come to the local shows, I'd probably get a lot of hate for doing so.

Whoa, escalation. I was AThousandWords, name changed for other reasons. Used to draw my posts cause writing is easier than typing for me, but a lot of good reasons (quotation, loading times, readability) were given and I stopped doing it every post. I'm pretty sure I could still do it occasionally if I wanted to but I haven't; it was just every post that way being against the rules. So Rawhide doing it once is within the rules... And contributed by saying he liked that I graduated since now we can date (we've been shamelessly flirting for months now through PMs). So yeah... :)

I was gonna say Friar monk-difference thing. CURSE YOU BEARDED DRAGON!

You really don't like Rawhide much, do you? I tear up at his posts too (probably for different reasons though), you're not alone.
( Most of your RB posts are just '''s'' at Rawhide. Post some stupid things! Link to a Batman dance! Know the difference between a WMG Youtube block and video removal! Don't make a weird thread in board/site issues about a certain word! "" doesn't make a post not-rude!*insert sophmore feeling proud rant here!*)

Bearded dragon? You mean one of these?



I thought it was obvious that I'm not a lizard.

This. Pretty much.

I actually expected white text. Huh.

Regardless, lets spin, everyone!

*spins*

[Elemental]

*spins*
Okay, so we're spinning...
And now I'm dizzy.

In other news, went down to the tip and got rid of a lot of stuff. It is surprisingly fun throwing pieces of old furniture onto a pile.
But, in the process, I was jabbed by a thorn. Oh well...

For me, it's fun to go "right, this thing is borked anyway, and we're going to throw it away. So let's take it outside, get a big hammer, and bork it some more". Heh.


Last year's new years party we held in a cottage that was about to be demolished. So we were given free reign to trash the whole place. It's surprisingly difficult to break down a door.

Yeah, well, Qaera has an... active imagination, to say the least. I suppose I could add this to the strangest rumour thread. Well, if I didn't know that Qaera was only joking.

Woo, just finished Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap!

It's a pity the Fitness First close to the Department of Health is on an elevated level; otherwise I'd be tempted to rock up in front of the windows and eat junk food.

Got Fluttershy running around my head gently encouraging me in my mind. God damn exams. This one I have in less than an hour is horrible. The work I've tried to do for it beforehand was freaking irritating - no solutions posted anywhere for the worksheets and the previous exams, so no idea if I'm doing it right. And I'm 90% certain I'm doing it wrong, looking at my past track record for homework (My highest mark on worksheets is half marks, and my average is near about 20%). Psyched myself up with "You can do it if you try!" videos and happy songs. Staying in my happy place, hopefully I can keep elements of my happy place with me.

TL:DR; Need to get 50% on this exam to pass. Think I'm more likely to get 25/30%. Wish me luck, please.

Here's something that will cheer you up, I think.

Linky-dinky

[Thufir]

This... not so much.

I'm actually slightly disappointed.

[AtlanteanTroll]

One was an emo concert where I kept asking the people around me if they were ok because they looked depressed.

You're (most likely) using the word emo incorrectly. This and this are emo. This is screamo.

You're thinking of ... I don't even know what. Whatever people who live in Hot Topic listen to. But it isn't emo.

Sorry, pet peeve.

I hereby interrupt this Random Banter.... spinning ... with a public service announcement.

RAISING A TEENAGER IS THE MOST DIFFICULT AND THANKLESS JOB ON THE PLANET!!!!

Yes it is. But the good news is that, in the end, unless something really terrible happened, they'll still love you once they're adults.

as a teenager, please don't take it personally. most of us try to be good

That is the hope. I understand the "theory"... it's just the practice of getting there.

Froms "teenagers as a whole", I don't take it personally... from my teenager on the other hand...

p.s. I still love both of my teenagers...

[Triscuitable]

I second this. I know I'm very often an ******* on these forums (I try not to be, I'm usually offended or my pride has been hurt), but I try to maintain a decent figure in real life and online (I'm just really irritable in both). Believe me, teenagers can be stupid, hurtful, indignant, or a combination of the three. But if you knew what they planned in those developing minds of theirs, you'd be proud to be a parent.

Give it time, and you'll know those years did not go to waste (I'm replying to this smaller post so I don't quote MASSIVE BOLDED LETTERS THAT TAKE UP LOTS OF SPACE).
