The Official Off-Topic Lounge: Wii Version

call up a friend to talk or something jayson!

im sure tomorrow will be much better! i know it will be for me! :D

oh yeah! you better be attractive! :P

Oh, so, I guess the moral of my story is: go for a nice walk outside. Take the quiet streets, and if possible, sit on a swingset and look lethargic. It works in the movies.bob_newman

omg thats horrible!!! that would just make me sadder!!!

Ahh no sweat Bob, your topic is a real one mine is like "Today kinda sucks even if I DID have mac and cheese"

Thanks Pete

I think you know her best. There's always little things that come up in a relationship that get glossed over for a bunch of different reasons. Just pick up on the little cues and take one of those to a grand scale. Something that she saw while window shopping one day that she didn't come right out and say she wanted but she lingered on for a long time then kept going.

That sort of thing.

Act on what you have the power to act on now, you'll never know when you'll run out of chances.

Jaysonguy

Yeah, well I've been taking really good care of her for the past month (while she gets used to the changes with school and all), so we're in a good place. She's just really tired and we both kinda feel lonely, mostly because she's away all day, and then gets home and either does homework or has to sleep. I feel really bad for her, but at the same time there's not much I can do. Hopefully she'll just get used to the daily routine.

My girlfriend had a Barbie dream house when she was little but it was given away when she outgrew it. She really loved it and she always seemed happy when she spoke about it so I tracked one down on Ebay.

Sometimes it's best to have a good cry, just let it all out. It's ok, Jayson, nobody will make fun of you.;)

If you need a website specifically, trying Googling "African influence on South American culture."

If you're simply looking for anything about it, check the bibliography of this. It lists several articles and books that might help. Those might be available online if you Google the titles. Some of them look like they're just what you're looking for.

[QUOTE="MadPirateTom"]Thanks, I forgot what website it was though, but there's a bunch of avatars from hotel dusk on it. It's some fan site.JordanElek

For those who don't read my incredibly awesome blog, I think I look a bit like the guy from Hotel Dusk:

I just need more hair (:() and the ability to look more concerned.

So every time I see your avatar, it's like seeing myself in a sparsely animated black and white world. I imagine it's probably a better world, where I accomplish much more than I do in this one.

i felt the need to bring this amazing pic back up. :P

I fixed it:

If I had a real program like Photoshop, this would've turned out better. But I haven't had anything like that for years.... Anybody know of any good free image editing/creating software?

Come to me when you need free software, I'm the master

GIMP

That's what I downloaded to make the picture. It's not very easy to use. It took me about twenty minutes just to figure out how to make a rectangle....JordanElek

Have you tried downloading a Photoshop skin for it then use one of the Photoshop walkthroughs?

So what did everyone do today?

For me, it was a snowday (one happened on friday too) -- i had to shovel friday, and today i had to shovel the snow.. twice.

Its pretty bad still outside, i have a feeling buses might be cancelled so that means no school for me again (im technically on the bus, but i get a ride from my parents.)

other than that, i've been playing guitar hero 3 and SSBM off and on, as well as fillout out Application information for universities (Its such a pain but whatever.)

Haziqonfire

So where exactly are you from? I don't need a specific location, just a region, and how much of a snowfall quantifies as a snow day?

Where I live its been pretty exciting with all the tornadoes and such. Not exciting in good way of course. I got lucky though that none of them hit my house. They were evidently close allthough I didn;t see one. People were sighting them out near where I live.

It seems like every year though so idiot gets killed by a tornado cause hes standing outside when it hits trying to video tape it.

They do not cancel **** even if theres a blizzard at the college I go to. Its pretty sad really that a professor wouldn't even excuse an absences for students who couldn't make it cause their house got demolished by the storm the other night.

I am in the middle of playing Vampire: the Maquerade. And I am also half way through Earthbound.

For some reason gamespot censors the word c l a s s. How in the world is that a curse word.

People would make jokes about why does mario hit blocks with his head??? but ofcorse most of us know that he hits them with his fist when he jumps but if you arent looking closely it looks like he uses his head. But now with bob's avatar, it tures out he still can hit blocks with his head.

Ok, look, I'ma clear some things up here.

He can break bricks with his fist.

He can hit bricks with his head.

He's not breaking the brick in my avatar, he's just bumping it.

Plus, he's dead.

I mean, the clouds are green for Christ's sake!

Never mind, I get it.

I just realized that I had my earphones in my ear for about half an hour, but I haven't been listening to anything.bob_newman

I do that with my phone headset, I'll put it on to call someone then get distracted then realize an hour later that I'm still wearing it

For an hour I look like the loneliest telemarketer ever

BTW it snowed last night till this morning, so i have another snow day because buses are canceled :)

i live in Ontario, Canada. Snowdays depend on when it snows and if the roads have been plowed. the snow day we had was due to about 25CM or snow .. not to mention ice on the ground.

Haziqonfire

Haven't you had like a week off by now?

By the way, how is it that such a stupid thread can become so awesome?

I liked AG's comment about the crowbar the best. He knows what I'm talking about.
