Here you go.

First! Mwahahaha! I am OMNIPOTENT! :grin:

What does second place make me? Semi-omnipotent? :confused: :roll:

Third.
Dont wanna hear a word about my potency! :mad: :D

Nr. 4. Yippee.

Wow, Top Ten without even trying. And here's the best way to christen a new RB

Congratulations! :thumb:

Yeah! First time, first page.

Happy day! :lol:

Congrats, Rally! I wish you the best.

First post in a Random Babbling post...woo hoooo....I think... :hmm:

PS: What is the point of the Random Babbling posts? I've yet to understand what goes on in these things...

Congrats, Rally! Have you told your husband who the father is yet? :p

Oops...I posted this same thing twice...how do I delete it?

@ Faraaz: Ummm... Random babbling. Stream of conciousness. Time wasting. Socializing. Complaining. Bragging. Whining. Celebrating. Crying. Announcements (ala Rallymama). You name it, it has probably happened here.

@Rallymama: Congratulations on your new screaming poop-machine! :roll:

Thanks, all. :)

@BigStick: Have there been any marriage proposals? That would be something to see!

Oh, new life! The Great Mystery.
Congratulations, Rallymama - I hope everything goes well!!

Bravo Rallymama!

How big is it?

@Rallymama: Not to my knowledge, but there are certainly people here who've been here much longer and more frequently than I. That would indeed be something to see, a match made in SP. ;)

How big is it?That's a little personal, isn't it? :o

Congrats Rally!! :thumb:

Life rocks!
Actually, it does :D

Woohoo, still first page.

And congrats again, Rally:thumb:

Top Twenty!

:D 21st! (like the century!)
(and the topic itself!!)

And Congrats to the mom-to-be! ;)

well I'm on the first page.. yay!

Hey, congratulations Rally :)

Congratulations, Rally! Can I be the Godfather?

Rally - that is fantastic news! Great stuff. All the best!

I'm too tired from staying up until 1:30am playing NWN. :sleep: I must get more caffine.... :coffee:

3.5 hours of sleep is not a good way to start the week.

Congrats Rally. You can name the kid after someone here.

I can see it now.

"Falstaff, get off of that ceiling fan!"

or

"Splunge, no more Jello until you clean your room."

or even

"Yes little Chev, I know that thongs are immoral, but stop throwing mommy's new ones out!"

Or '8people! You may have the name of 8 but please, please only say (post) as much as a single child? Please?'

Congrats Rally!

Or "Little Sorvo, for the last time, milk does NOT come in 'beer' flavour!"

I'M ACTUALLY QUITE SHY :p
I only talk a lot on here anyway ;)
Sorry :(

*feels ill*
*dies*

Honestly though - I'd feel sorry for any child named after someone on here. Everyones' names are cool and all, but for RL it would be a bit strange. I get funny looks when people hear my friends call me 8peeps.

I wonder if in a few years there will be a message in the corner saying 'Hail and well met, Rallybaby'

Hmmm, I wonder at what age you could register your kid here without breaking the spirit of the 'only one registration per person' rule . . . . .

8people, I get funny looks when people hear my friends call me by my *real* name :p

Congratulations Rallymama, how far along are you and are you secretly hoping for a girl or a boy? Well ok, I guess if you told us then it wouldn't be a secret then would it.

YAY!!! Rally, I'm so happy for you! We should celebrate and throw a party, but no alcohol for you, young lady! Only champagne punch!

hmmmm...I have a new gem and its not so pretty. Kind of greyish. Oh well.

Just a few more posts and you'll have another gem... ;)

I quite like the gem I have at the moment... maybe I should stop posting :rolleyes:

Congrats, Rally.

I like the bloodstone. That's the dream <sigh) :rolleyes:

Fruitcakes, all of you. j/k

So what if we are insane?

The ultimate cure for insanity is turnip beer. You'll have to come round the still some time and try some. It's done wonders for me :D

Chelsea beat Arsenal and are through to the semi final :lol: :lol: :lol:

My Morrowind game is screwed. Can't get my new meshes for dark elf females and ebony armour to work. I had them working fine before :(

That's the problem with good computer games and too many additions. Something always goes wrong.

You should give up those adictions then and join ALFA ;)
3 more hours of school left... then HOLIDAYS!

yay, holidays!

For me, spring break is just two days away! :cool:

I feel weird. My cheeks are rosy, I have trouble standing, and I feel like laughing at silly little things. And it also took me a few tries to type this (with the help of spellchecker). I wonder what's wrong with me...

@ Jaguar,

What about LOOOOVE :love: ?

Spring is here, sunshine is here ... ;)

Luckey! I want another summer! This one's been terrible! I'd hardly call it a summer judging by the weather, more like a mild winter.

Me thinks Jaguar has been drinking! :rolleyes:

Or smoking some flora... :hippy:

Or the grass that he found on his lawn... :p

(a new RB allready :eek: :confused: , missed the start :( )

@Rally: Congrats! May it be a happy and behaving kid :p

I just realized something...no one takes me seriously when I post my work.

Probably too much turnip beer. You've been visiting the still haven't you. ;)

Yaaay!!!
My portrait pack has been added! :D
(I just finished four more portraits but it's too late now... sniff)
Phew, I hate being sick : too much free time on my hands ;) !

I wonder what's wrong with me... What about LOOOOVE?Hope it's not this bad. :shake: :lol:

Spring does evil things to hormones. It probably amplifies the secretion of phenyloetyloamine, doesn't it? Plus, winter might have caused endorphin shortages, especially beta endorphin. I suppose it doesn't increase the rate of dopamine and norephetamine production, so it would be just the crush thing plus need of physical closeness and not necessarily romance and/or relationship thing.

New study brought up on a radio show this morning has determined that men who engage in sex at least 21 times/month have a 33% lower risk of getting prostate cancer.

Apparently, it's quantity that counts, not quality. I'd like to see what their divorce rates are like. :D

@Dragonfly: Before getting pregnant, I really, REALLY, REALLY wanted a girl. Now that there really is a baby on the way, I don't care anymore. I suppose I'd still prefer a girl since I already have a wonderful little boy, but as long as the baby is happy and healthy it doesn't matter.

Being Pregant must be awesome, you can jump to the head of lots of lines. It's a shame you must give birth at one point.

Gah, I'm stuck on lvl 5 of Settlers 2 :bang:

I've now officially been a paper-boy for a week!
Yay, I got a 'job' that pays money!
Pretty crap money though.

In better news, we had a free-loader who managed to worm his way into staying for a week and a half (a week of which we also had his 7-year-old son who I'm sure has ADHD) and he finally left three days ago. Now I can actually get out of the house without worrying that something may go missing!

Rally, I hope you have a wonderful healthy complete baby no matter what the little darlin' turns out to be but I secretly would like a little girl too if I should get a second chance. On the other hand I've been told that throughout the teenage years boys get along with their mothers a lot better than girls!

On the other hand I've been told that throughout the teenage years boys get along with their mothers a lot better than girls! That's because teenage boys don't try to borrow their mothers' clothes. Well, most teenage boys anyways...

Yay! Back from boot camp (as in: School Camp)

And the typo demons have come back with me!

*yawns* So tired... atleast it's the holidays :D

Oh my God oh my God oh my God! The Leafs had better beat Ottawa in the playoffs, or I swear, someones getting hurt!

On the other hand I've been told that throughout the teenage years boys get along with their mothers a lot better than girls!It seems so. And girls get along with their fathers better than boys.

Some teenage boys even get along with girls' mothers than with girls, like it was in my case ;)

@ Chev - Okaaaaay, don't want to know more there :p

Just got out of bed at 3:30 in the afternoon. I'm lazy... do I care??

Check this out! :D

I've added a picture to my profile, it's a painting from the latest exhibition of one of my best friends, Sveta!

What do ya think?

Interesting. Lots of...horns I guess. Better then anything I could have done at any rate.

There seems to be something going on with this website or maybe it's just my computer...I can't seem to get into ceartain parts of the boards.

Your friends painting is very nice Lady Luthien, it has a lot of movement and an interesting quality of light.

Anyone ever have a day when they wished a giant anvil would drop out of the sky and squash them to the size of an ant? (Maybe I just need to wish harder.) :heh:

If I concentrate hard enough, can I grow wings?

Yeah, it was when I realised that the two years growing prize turnips was wasted after my closest rival had got a mage to enchant his and beat me at the local show. How humiliating. :(

Easter hols ha I have 5 days off work :wave:

I have 2 weeks off :p

going to tidy my room now - so Frosty-O can come and visit me and my new fish!

I've got six new guppies - 3 yellow and 3 blue ones with orange tails.

the yellow ones are called Lyrael, Lyrak and Kly'yre. The blue ones are called Aeykly, Aeyea and Lylaraeal.

[ April 10, 2004, 14:25: Message edited by: 8people ]

KotOR rules. But I have a problem choosing between Guardian, Sentinel and Consular. It has taken three days of deliberation so far. It consumes me.

Sometimes I'm like Yoda. And Qui-Gon is my hero. Makes me Consular, I guess.

I'm one hell of a fencer. Makes me Guardian, I bet.

Sentinel is in between, which doesn't really seem fitting.

Oh, well. Just why hasn't anyone made an online test for that? :(

You're a fencer chev?! What weapon?

Ooohhh...English exam tomorrow...time to start studying.

Interesting fish names, Occy.

Hurray, the Blues thrashed the Bulls last night.

@Faerus: longsword. I'm very evil with longswords.

I HATE WRITER'S BLOCK!

I though I could drop to say hi, It has been a long time since I have post here. So HI

Arrrgh!! My exam's in less than 14 hours and I haven't done nearly enough studying....and I HAVE to get up at 8 in the morning....so much for getting plenty of sleep before my exam....
:book: = :bang:

Jesus Jennifer Hale Christ.

I guess both Bioware and Lucasarts finally figured out how good she is. I'm not complaining....i'm not complaining. I'm just saying. Everyone seems to be getting their money out of her.

Slap another decal up on her kill board. I don't know if she'll ever match Grace again, but she's definately a vetran. More than likely, I'd expect her to do well on-screen. I'd go see the movie on her reputation alone.

Not to mention her sultry voice...

Faerus, how come you have an exam in the middle of Easter?

Too addicted to Champ Manager 03/04.

I'm making the three girls run around in their pan-ties. Two jedi and a teen-shooter.

GRRL PAWAR!!!!

You should rot in gaol :D

well its easter here, and iv finished eating my chocolate (before i throw up) and im on my easter hols, with no work or stuff to do for 2 weeks, so ill be on this board a lot, i hope you can put up with me :D ill be good i promise.... :evil:

Uni sucks...I got to do assignments over the Easter hols... :grr: :grr:

But on the other hand, I've got them almost finished and I *should* be able to salvage the last four to five days of the hols so all is not lost! :roll: :roll:

Anyways...carry on with the um...spammi *cough* *cough* Babbling!! :)

LOL good call Faraaz! i reckon most of it is spamming.... (please this isnt spamming, i beg of you to reconsider) hehe im :good:

@Harb- because universities are evil :evil:
Meh, it doesn't matter anymore, I did pretty well...next exam --> Politics on Wednesday...woot

Ok, last one. I promise.

Hot Jedi Pr0n!! (http://mercury.walagata.com/w/idkfa407/1/snap0151.jpg)
Girls Go Wild!! (http://mercury.walagata.com/w/idkfa407/1/snap0153.jpg)

:)

That DOES sound like an evil university.

SAT I scores are out (less than a month after I took them - that's pretty fast).

Math - 800 (a-yup, 800 out of 800)

Verbal - 750

I so have bragging rights. :D

What is a SAT? Is it something good?

SAT? Is it some kind of national final exam for kids who plan on going on with their studies?

Hehehe...I just took a drunk test posted by Chev a good while ago (http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=005522;p=1) and got 86 proof...hehe...I'll try this test again next year, when I get back to hard drinking ( :o ), wonder what I'll get...

@Oxymore - yeah, SAT's are some sort of standardized test in the 'States, taken at the end of highschool, for the purposes of getting into Univ/college (afaik)...and iirc, they're out of 1600...

Just got back from an easter weekend at my mom's place in the forest. It was very nice and we all ate lots and lots. Now I'm glad to be home again because I sort of missed my computer.

Flying would be cool. I wish I could fly without a plane or something.

Maybe if I had wings, or could just alter the gravity around my body.

It would be cool, to just be free.

Hmm, just tried that test myself. 96 is rather disturbing since I stopped drinking heavily a while back.

it is a monday and the holidays have finally started (i dont count the weekend and good friday part of the holidays) and i better finish this post before i piss my pants, ok peoples ill brb

:coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

'Morning.

Yayy! I've been gone for a couple of days (not that anyone has noticed :p ) but I am back now, and with a HOMEPAGE!!!!! :rolling: :spin: :rolling:

Okay, it's lame. But still: check it out!!!

Lady Luthien's (http://ladyluthien.50megs.com/)

Looking at your homepage, I am struck by the amazing amount of typos :p

The Lair of Leihtian Is actually The Lay of Leithian :p

And where are all the accents? Lúthien. Tinúviel. :grin:

@ Aikanaro

Yeah well I don't have any accents on my keyboard...

Thanks. :nolike:

Anyhow people, I am leaving for a week, sadly enough.

cya Aikanaro and something really strange just happened five minutes ago (this might be a bit off topic with the random babbling), i was having this voice convo with this chick on msn, and i know her and got her pic and stuff, suddenly she asks me to meet her this thursday and she will get with me, and i think ok, might be a nice easy night of making out and such, but i dunno if i should go.
so the point is can you give me advice on whether i should go or not, and not she is quite hot!

Man, you really need to stay away from those chat rooms and msn things. Msn is evil.

been reading the 'I have a problem' thread, and reading the last post I've just thought;

1) I'm 15 - I don't even get to meet boys anymore outside my own family. :p
2) If I did meet a boy outside my own family it would probably end badly as the boys around here are quite violent. :rolleyes:
3) I'm not even bothered about it. :D

Difficulty deciding which one is worse :p

At least with people you meet in real life, you know somewhat of what they're like, but chatrooms are different. You could go looking for a girlfriend, but instead meet a 300-pound ex-convict who's not interested in a relationship.

I am a bit drunk right now.
And not a single soul around to take advantage of it. :aww:
Life can be harsh.

I feel like I should go work-out or do something constructive but I have the day off of work so I think I'll lounge around in at-home-cloths and let my brain be mush for the day.

Mmm, haven't posted anything in a while, thought i should do it here...

These new Corn Flakes with Bananas are damn good too.

Has anyone read the childrens story of the gigantic turnip? I only heard it today and it waas truely bizzare.

Heard of the gigantic peach before but never a turnip

Big Question to all the Radiohead fans out there. In their Documentary DVD 'Meeting People Is Easy", there is an appearance made by an Australian DJ. Can anyone remember his name?

Why don't you tell us the short version of the story takara? Although I've never heard of it I'm kinda curious now.

Under circumstances I shall not describe here, I have landed in hospital last night...
There I have been diagnosed, among other things, with chronic nervous depression.

Never thought of myself as that f*cked up.
I mean, I do have ups and downs but I'm not a suicidal-prozac-craving person...
Weird.

There you go, another mentally unstable member of SP! ;)

[ April 13, 2004, 09:37: Message edited by: Lady Luthien ]

Gah, what do doctors know? A lot more than me probably.

@Dragonfly and Sarevok Anchev. The short version:
There was this farmer in ireland who was known for growing prize winning turnips. One year he had a bad drought and was dismayed to see very few of his turnips had grown. There was one however that had a nice head, poking out of the ground. So when he thinks it's ready he goes over to pull it out. No matter how hard he tugs, the turnip just wont come out of the ground. So the farmer's wife comes along and holds onto him and they tug together. Still the turnip just wont come out. So they get the farmer's horse and they all tug together, but STILL the turnip wont come out. So in the end they have the farmer, his wife, his horse, all his children, and all his neighbours tugging on this turnip, and eventually it comes free. The farmer was astonished because it was THE most gigantic turnip in the world. :)
The story has some cool illustrations with it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAARGGHHHH! :bang:

Midterms are driving me crazy! I've been studying for months, and now, one day before the test, I find out there's all kinds of things that weren't covered in the lessons NOR my literature studies. And I just can't grasp any of it. The normal stuff had me breaking my head over it already.

So that cues all kinds of doubt feelings, making me consider dropping out if I don't finish my entire second year by the end of summer. (I'm officially in my 3rd year now) I've always had to work hard to keep up, but I just can't keep up anymore. Ergh. :(

I'm almost finished with my assignments...woo hoo!!! :roll: :roll:

Four days of Easter hols salvaged!!!

Too much caffeine....must log off now!! :p

I really shouldn't be here right now...my most important exam of this past year is tomorrow at 9am, I don't know any of the material and I haven't started studying...

@Luthien - Sucks to hear girl...but for what it's worth, welcome to the club... :wave:

I can see clearly now the rain is gone....

I can see all obstacles in my way

@ Luthien, me fair lady

Never fear - we are all messed up.
Hold on tight there.

It's past 6:30pm here, and I still haven't started studying....the odds are looking decidedly unfavourable....on a related note, I'm tying my shoe laces into a noose as we speak, with the intention of hanging myself quite dramatically....all I need is another 3000 pairs of shoe laces and I should be set...oh, and I need to learn how to tie a noose...and for that matter, I need to become significantly more suicidal...so essentially, I just completely lost my train of thought...and now I'm so confused, I don't know where I am or what my name is...

EDIT: And that's random babbling (possibly with some sense!)...

Kinda wasted right now. Tomorrow will likely be worse. :hippy:

@Lulu: Wish you well! (no drugs or such I hope?)

Would you like to know my 1337 cure for depression? Get up very early in the morning and go take a walk.

Oxymore, you have no idea how jealous I am of you right now.

Yay, only 12 hours till my exam, time to start studying....or not, whatever....studying sucks

EDIT: Time's running short...only 9 hours to go, and I've managed not to study at all...I'm beginning to consider giving myself a hernia...or a third..I mean SECOND personality... :hahaerr:
Whew...that caffeine sure is getting to me... :coffee: ...if I'm lucky, I'll be able to stay up ALL night studying...and then fall asleep during my exam...or better yet, study the wrong material, and fail the exam anyway...

Hmm...this post is making less and less sense as I go...let's hope my exam goes a little differently... :xx:

EDIT 2: :lol: I was browsing the Whatnots Archive (while looking for info about my politics course, naturally) and stumbled upon what happens to be one of the funniest threads (http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=006192;p=1) I've ever read. Sorry Admins/Mods, I've got to post the link, it's SOOO funny (err, IMHO of course).

Thank you Lady!
Best wishes are greatly appreciated.
/me bows deeply, brushing his fake beard on the dusty floor of his room.

To be honest, it's gonna take more than luck for me to do anything other than fail this exam miserably...and I'm not referring to "studying"...more like, "divine intervention" or some such :p

Easter is over now. It's ages before the next public holiday. Not until June.

We have a may-day bankholiday in England :)

Does anyone know how many pages the longest random babbling post has gone on for? This one is on its 5th page...and I don't remember any threads having longer than 5.

Well random babble #20 was 15 pages long.

DOH! i just got rejected by a girl i asked out :cry:
oh well i guess there are hopefully more out there :(

Of course there are, uh, people-person (how do you want people to shorten your name? Or would you prefer people called you by your full name?) "Plenty of sharks...uh, I mean *fish* in the sea..."

Oh, and WOOOOTT!!! :spin: :roll: :rolling: That exam was totally examinated!! Err...whatever....any expression you could think of that means "not failed, but passed with reasonably good expectations for at least a decent mark"...that's right...
It would seem that getting 2 hours of sleep for a 3 hour exam makes *complete* sense...and should be done with more frequency... :rolleyes:

Doh, love hurts......
I've lost my heart to some girl, but I don't know if it's mutual.....

@ Daephon

Love makes the world go round : all you need is love :hippy:

Two-way love makes it, one-way is just pain...
Anyways, I've discovered that it's actually mutual :D It's nice :)

Good for you, I guess ;)

Status: kinda stoned.
Better make this short:

Congrats Faerus, although I'm not sure you deserve them. :p

As Desproges put it: Love always involves two people, one who is bored and one who is miserable. :rolleyes:

At study hall right now, having soooo much fun. Ok, I have pretty much having no fun at all but all well, such is life. Haven't posted in the babbling for awhile, feel so. . .unsatisfied. :D

If I were a tree, what kind of tree would I be?

Son of a birch, I don't know. This test can just kiss my ash!

(BAD PUNS :hahaerr: )

Well, I've just received a letter from Osgoode Hall, one of the top 3 Canadian law schools.

I've been placed on a waiting list for admission to their PhD program. The letter also goes on to say, "The waiting list is short, so there is a serious possibility that we will be able to offer you a place."

Kind of bad news in that I wasn't accepted right away, leaving my future a little uncertain. Mind you, I also have applications in progress at U.B.C., Ottawa, and Columbia. Also kind of good news because I've been shortlisted and stand a real chance of getting in.

* crossing my fingers *

Yay for beren!! Good work! :thumb:

On a completely unrelated note, I just realized that I've had 2 hours of sleep in the last 40 hours...time for bed...

Tee Hee! Hindo's Doom! Can you say it? Hindo's DOOOOOOOOM...

Yesterday I got the first sunburn of the year. yeah!

Ít's so much fun being a redhead... :rolleyes:

Congrats Beren, hope you get in.

Drink is BAD! I feel terrible. Oh well, lets spend a day in front of the TV - its a hard life on your hols. Too bad I have work tomorrow :(

Good on ya Faerus!
Congrats Beren, hope you get through!
Way to go Daephon!!

I'm bored... :help:

I'm really pround of myself, 5 months ago I was at 282 lbs now I'm 230 lbs. I was 3XL on waist 46 now I'm XL and waist 40... WOO-HOO!!!

Congrats Beren!

Congratulations, Beren. I'm sending lots of good karma your way that enough people ahead of you go somewhere else. :thumb:

Well done, Beren! Way to go. :thumb:
*crosses fingers too*

Congrats, Beren. You have progressed far on the path to Dark Side :shake: :tie: :lol:

I'm covered in rust! [Edit]..and it sucks!

Hey, you are not the only one. It sucks even more when you have to work with it day in day out.

LOl! i had no idea i would get a response like that! To think someone else was in the same situation....

The only rust around me is gathering on my trusty turnip scythe. I've had to hang it up due to too much uni coursework and exams. Only a month and a half before I can go out into the fields and spread joy and happiness amongst turnip lovers once more.

Me thinks Takara has an unhealthy obsession with turnips. :p

/me hands Takara a card for Turnip Abusers Anonymous.

Good for you, Beren. :thumb:

What is it with lawyers on your side of the ocean anyway?

Everyone is always filing lawsuits against everyone else here, so we need lots of lawyers, lol

I want to scream, punch, shout, cry, explode, stand ontop of a hill with the song 'Show Must Go On' by Queen, have a fight with someone to help me find a way to stop this pain i feel inside...

Wow, Sniper is still around :eek:
I thought you disappeared ages ago. Welcome back.

@Jaguar.
It's funny you should mention that. Ever since I played Baldur's gate2, and listened to Jan's endless stories about turnips whilst stoned, I've been a convert to the gnomish pursuit of the eternal turnip. :eek:

Congratulations Beren, I have a feeling you will make it in.

I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh addict. At the moment, all my spare cash is spent on buying the cards and I'm yet to find a local tournament!

I'm beginning to think that I should have spent at least SOME time studying today...but, you know, maybe it's better NOT to study for exams, or at least to study as little as possible. So, looks like another night of little sleep and getting up early to spend as much time studying as possible.

Exams suck.

EDIT: Yay! New page :roll: :rolling: :spin: That's one in each of the last 2 RB threads...woot.

You know Faerus, unless you have a test on D&D 3rd Edition, or who the NPCs are in BGII, then being here probably won't help your test marks. :shake:

Most likely not...but there's always a slight chance... :p (After all, my Spanish course could very well be teaching me Amnian rather than Spanish...)

Hmm...maybe I have been spending a little too much time on the Boards...meh, not that I care.
I only really need a 50 in the course, and unless I sleep through my exam, or my teacher accidentally writes it in Russian or something, that's not gonna happen.

Beren - Congrats! And good luck.

Ofelix - Awesome job! Keep up the great work! I know what a struggle it is, though not quite on the same scale. I've been battling my own weight and can only try to imagine how much effort went into your loss. Congratulations!!!!!

Aldazar - I can relate completely. A number of years ago, I had the same problem with the very first game of that type. I still have boxes and crates of those cards sitting in the basement. I did eventually find local tournaments to play in and it was a blast. Very expensive, but a blast none-the-less.

@Aldazar
I used to play it too, until my school banned us from having them there, so i've been trying to sell them all, make a little profit.

It occurs to me that by creating The Sensorium, Tal has basically removed about half of the stuff that would ordinarily go in Whatnots. First there was the Alley, then this...


Perhaps he's trying to make whatnots posts nothing but insanity for some nefarious scheme!

Or not. ;)

In that case some more insanity:

I have gone back to my dance class today, we are now practicing the Nutcracker which is one of my favorites alongside Don Quixote, so I don't feel too much out of place.

Actually, I feel kindoff like a butterfly... :roll:

By the way, a question most of you won't juge as the sanest but still: what are .lbs, pounds, oz and stone compared to kgs? (I checked out a diet plan on the net but it was all in .lbs)
More concretely does anybody know what my weight is in these meisurements? (I weight 47kgs)

1 lb = 0.454 kg

1 stone = 14lb

1 oz = 16 grams

Your weight would be 92.5 lbs.

However, I'm not sure if lb is always the same. British lb is 0.454 kg, perhaps American lb is different? I've seen 1 lb = 0.42 kg somewhere, too. Damn those barbarian measures! :shake:

I've always been taught that 1kg=2.2lbs. And by that scale, the good Lady would weigh 103.4lbs.
Strangely enough though, when I divide 47 by .454, I get 103.5. Is your calculator working properly there chev? :hmm:

And Lady, good on ya for going back to those (ruthless) dance classes!

I just bought a Gameboy Advance SP today...woo hoo!

On the other hand...I'm now officially broke... :flaming: :flaming:

I just had my hair cut

The last time I had my haircut was 23rd November 2002

www.onlineconversion.com (http://www.onlineconversion.com) is your friend!

I used to like fudge. Now it is horrible. Foul. Yuk!! Ugh!!! UGGGGHHHHHHHH!

It's exam stress that's what it is! Exams make flavoured fudge foul. Is there a possibility of unflavoured fudge???

Thanx to Lazy Bonzo, it is now established that there are three different kinds of pounds (woohoo) :D

According to the first pound : the 92.5lb version would make me a 42kg person (I wish...)

According to the Troyan pound, 92.5lb = 34.5kg (now that's going a 'lil bit too far)

Lastly, the Metric Pound states 92.5lb = 46.25kg

Well, the metric one is close enough... ;)
Let's start a new Whatnots thread and call it : "What's your weight like in all the different units?" :grin: :grin:

I'm back from Italy and for some strange reason my mom has decided to be the ultimate *****...aah, fine by me, I'm used to it by now.

LL -- That's probably already been done.

I hate housework! Damn dust....

That exam went...alright. A bunch of the translations were pretty tough, but on the whole I think I managed to get something above 70% (which was my goal, even though I'm averaging something like 85 in the course, I had a feeling this exam would be tough).

Next exam: History 9am Monday. Two days to study? Yeah right... :rolleyes:

@ Rotku

Its all good :)

I just visit from time to time when time can spare my privilidged existence :angel:

Today, I'm not so bad. I wrote a song which has a solo for the intro (obviously with rythem backing it up)

Sens and Leafs tonight...I'm thinking another big win by the Sens... :grin: :D

Well I went and bought KoTOR today because everyone seems to think that it's a pretty good game. I hope that I'm going to like it.

Damn! Sens lost, 2-0. Stupid Belfour.

History, eh?
What's the exam on specifically? I have some great sites that have good outlines for studying, helped me get an A on my semester exam.

I know a seven year old boy who's name is Malice. To me that seems like a very strange choice to name a person. I've met his mother but she's not a friend so I've never asked her the reason she chose that name. I wonder if his name will in some way mold his life.

I don't know but I bet there are a bunch of girls out there called charity who are mean spirited. Depends how much an influence someone who'll name their kid malice has.

I consistently refuse to have anything to do with persons who make decisions affecting other people's lives on their own whim and in such a fashion as to suit their current fancy.

But perhaps there's another meaning in some language?

@Rednik - It's supposedly based on the period between the "fall of the Mongol Empire" to 1945; and the focus is supposed to be on the ENTIRE world. My prof, in all her wisdom, narrowed it down a tad. Unfortunately, she did her narrowing down in such a random way that the course is tough to summarize.

I know most of the material though, so I'm not worried about studying for it. What I haven't done yet, is read some of the books that I'm gonna need to know for the exam...meh, still got a day-and-a-half.

Study morning... for a change. :book:

On lunch break two friends and I went to picnick in the wilderness. (read: the part of the uni where there's some grass present)

We spent almost two hours there in siesta, counting planes and birds, discussing how the world would be different if the sky was orange, eating chocolate eggs no human ever ate before...

Then on to the movies to see Secret Window.

Good times, good times... :)

Is 'crying smiley' or 'sad-faced smiley' an oxymoron?

:( :( :( <it's not smiling. So is it a 'smiley' ? Ahahaah! That's what the e is for!!!

I'm starting to get addicted to KOTOR. At first I wasn't sure but it didn't take long to get into the story. My poor old Morrowind game just might not get finished.

I can play the Imperial March on bass! Yayness!

Hmm... i got to disappear again...

Be back in 5 days. See ya all. :wave:

cya Taza. I feel quite refreshed :)
Hmmm, what to play - Morrowind, Champ Man or pool down the pub. Its a tough life. Its great working a full 5 day week hours in one Friday night and 2 13 - 15 hour shifts on a weekend but today, I've been given the day off and I have to work Tuesday instead... boooo!

I think I feel happy because my ex - girlfriend turned up for a wedding where I work and made me realise what an idiot I was to get engaged to her, not to mention far too young for that type of thing. She didn't look too good when she saw me - but surely she would have known that I would be there :confused:

@ Faerus.
You are so lucky you get to study world history, it's so much more exciting than the patriotic bore-a-rama we have in U.S. history... We finished our world history class last year and the next chance I have to take a world history course is when I'm a senior.

Marbury vs. Madison! *head explodes*

@Rednik, world history is only a decent course if you have a decent teacher/professor. Frankly, I think I would've enjoyed this course more if I hadn't had a professor at all and got to study whatever I'd wanted (from world history, of course).

Hehe, I do agree that world history must be more interesting than American (or Canadian!) history... :p


And I still haven't started studying for my exam tomorrow...I should probably do that...soon.

I always study at the last moment for everything. The way I see it, if you study early, you're bound to forget it, right? So do you just look over stuff or are you more of a tactile studier?

*reattaches pieces of his head*

:hmm: I'm not sure what a "tactile" studier is...so I can't answer that part of your question.
But yeah, my usual method of studying is just going over the notes I've taken during the year. I'd study much better if I took the time to rewrite my notes, or at least write out the important parts, but I'm just too lazy. And in the case of history, I have to actually catch up on my reading (ie. read over a hundred pages out of two books [that's over a hundred in EACH book]) which is not gonna happen. Meh.

Yeah, tactile learning is when you rewrite (or re-take notes of) stuff. I have to, because my handwriting is so bad I can't read it. I think I heard somewhere that if you use your hands to study, you remember stuff a lot better. I can never catch up in reading, I just browse through the book and stop at passages that seem important. But I guess that's why english is my worst class, so, you never know. :D

When I was in university, I always re-wrote the notes. I found that, when reading a textbook, the facts did not necessarily sink in very well. Re-writing forced me to think about what I was writing, and therefore I was better able to absorb the information.

I agree, rewriting notes has got to be one of the best ways to study (for me at least). The only problem is, I can never motivate myself to do it. Even if I'm doing poorly in a course, which is the case for the exam I have tomorrow as well as one that I wrote on Thursday, I can't bring myself to do it. Even reading my notes over is tough, 'cause they're written in such a haphazard way (which, in the case of my history class, is more the fault of the way my teacher lectures rather than my admittedly odd thought processes).

Motivation, rather than technique, has always been my biggest obstacle for studying. :rolleyes:

Possibly 'tactile' studying is for those people who learn better doing things rather than reading about them? This is just a guess.

Is it possible to have multiple trapped nerves in your back?

WooHoo! Go Canucks.

/me starts doing a hockey dance

12.00am, i start my spectroscopy analysis
2.59am, i finished sorted the lines/wavelength, modified them, listed them, plotted 3 graphs using ms excell
3.00am, power went out, all work vanished, excel never autosaves
3.01am, heard police siren

the next day
12.00pm, heard from radio drunk stupid college students went riot last night here in Ames, home of iowa state university.

2:00 pm, heard on radio about the brutal beating of college students from Iowa State University.

If a certain dwarf doesn't read my PM I'm gonna get verrrry angry!! :nolike:
(that's right, that means you honey)
*fingers tapping on table*

B1 = 0.2713, standard error = 1.23828
standard error is bigger than value itself. Do i screw up the experiment well !?

Jaguar,
From the students' standpoint, it was policemen brutality. All the reports from ISU daily are policemen beating up innocent students.

Surely the standard error is allowed to be bigger than the value (especially if the value is supposed to be 0)

Wow, my first post in over one week! :eek:

And have I got something interesting to say? :D

Naaaaaah.... :p ;)

I return! Horrah!

I've just realised something. Why the hell am I helping people on girl issues and whatnot when it is me that needs all the help he can get? :p :D :D :angel:

I firmly believe that single people give the best advice. Our only problem is we're crap at taking our own advice.

So.... How did the test go?

1:15 I'm getting my a test back myself....

Aarrgggh!!!! :flaming: I just typed up a good long description of how my exam went...hit submit, and I get this stupid message about prevention of flooding...wtf!?

Anyways, the exam sucked. The multiple choice was based on random trivia from the semester, rather than the essential historical concepts and themes that the prof told us to study...and the essay question was a complete crock. Not only was the question itself pointlessly vague, but my answer didn't entire answer the question, at least, I don't think it did (and if I don't think so, I'm positive my prof won't think so). So yeah, the exam sucked and now I'm in a rather angry mood. I have a sudden overpowering urge to break something...or someone.

But bleh. The exam's only worth 20% of my final grade, which isn't so bad; except that I've only got a 63 going into it...(possibly better, since on my last essay which was worth 15%, I got 78%!)...

So that's my story for the day. :p

EDIT: On the plus side, I just realized that I've got a fencing practice tonight; so I get to vent some of my frustration by impaling people on my epee. Sounds good to me! :D :grin:

I agree about the single person thing

You're going fencing? cool!

I'm going to Wadaru tonight (a form of karate that incorportates other martial arts) :)

Best bit, I still have multiple trapped nerves in my back!

... Its gonna be fun :)

did you know crystal planet is flawless

Errr, what is a crystal planet if I may be so bold as to ask?

Tell him to do the funky chicken (http://www.subserviantchicken.com)! ;)

Does anybody here work at a fast food place?
Just wondering...

"Rednik" makes me think of "redneck." Had to let that out somewhere, I suppose.

Has anyone else had problems signing up for basic Gamespot (http://www.Gamespot.com) membership and then logging in?

There is nothing wrong with my computer setup (cookies included) but my comp cannot get past the above page and logging on to the site after deep linking doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts :confused: (other than those that include the word cookies)?

EDIT:
Sorted. The computer date was wrong. At least I got a Toblerone Gem out of the frustrating mess.

Jaguar, I completely agree. Vancouver should have come out of that series, but even so, I'm a Leaf fan through and through. At least we get to crush Ottawa at home now. I don't really care if we get swept next round by Philly, we just need to whoop Ottawa, because one of my friends is a die hard Sens fan, so I've been making fun of them all year long, how was I supposed to know we'd face them first round? GO LEAFS GO!

Faerus: :flaming:

Wooohooooooo!! I aced my chem test. AND my Biology test. YES!! I'm the king of the wooooooorld!! :happy: :happy:

Braeton Colt has made it to level 14! Yea!!! :D (Bard 8/ Fighter 4/ Arcane Archer 2)

Now I'm so tired from staying up late to try out his new abilities that I can't stay awake at work. :sleep: Where's the dang caffeine? :coffee:

I've been on SP for 2 years now...

*goes to find a window*

@ Slith Yeah... It does kind of sound like redneck. I got it from putting my name(Nik) and being a commie(red) together.

Here's hoping that the Leafs can win it tonight against the Sens. GO LEAFS GO!

@8peeps: Congrats girl!!

@All Leafs fans: :p Not gonna happen; Sens got this one in the bag.... :wave:

@ Faerus

Same goes for you - Congrats on the start of your 3rd year. :)

@ Faerus

Yes, Congrats on the start of your third year. Are you gonna get hammered?

Faerus is gonna get hammered, if only to forget the TREMENDOUS BEATING that Ottawa is going to recieve.

GO LEAFS!! :rolling: :roll: :spin: :roll: :spin: :roll: :rolling:

I was checking my junk folder and I discovered a whole load of spam labelled Tues 20/04, nothing strange there (it being today's date and all). However at the very top was an email dated Saturday 24/04. Now these seems rather strange to me. Anyone know how spam is now travelling by time?

omg monaco :cry: :cry:

Thanks Rednik and Malovae!! 2 years is definitely an anniversary worth celebrating...but that'll have to wait 'till tomorrow. I've got plans to celebrate the end of the year tomorrow night, so I figure I'll celebrate the start of my third year at SP (and the Sens' victory over the Leafs) then...two (err, three) birds with one stone and all :p
