Did you have a bad experience or do you just really fear that concentration of people on the pacific coast? ^^

really? I'm filipino with a little bit of chinese in me. My last name is chinese cuz my great-grandfather was chinese. He lived in Xiamen (aka Amoy)

I live on the east coast of the U.S. Boston, Massachusetts. Whoo, liberalism.

It's supposed to snow tonight. Oh, I hope it does..

Also, I visited relatively rarely before, but now that I finally joined, I suppose it'll be... less... rarely.

Afternoons and nights. <<

It could have snowed in Los Angeles a week or two ago, had it rained.

Instead, I know a bunch of people who live in other places around here who got snow. ;_;

It's really warm where I am right now. The thermometer is hovering around zero degrees. Last week it was -30. Too cold for snow.

CaptBrenden · January 30, 2007, 02:18:35 PM

Sleepy.. thats because because that hole you guys put in the ozone layer is pointed right down at you and its melting the snow before it gets anywhere near the ground

SleepyD · January 30, 2007, 08:31:54 PM

Bah >.<

I'd use public transportation if the subways actually brought me somewhere useful...
Or if the buses didn't get stuck in traffic. HAH. (When that happens, it means that many Angelenos have been forcibly removed for whatever reason)

Honestly you guys are screwed if you ever get hit with the "big one"

SleepyD · January 31, 2007, 02:09:29 AM

mm... yeah. I vaguely remember the 94 Northridge quake... I was... in kindergarten?

bah. Hopefully this apartment building will stay intact if it happens ^^;

CaptBrenden · January 31, 2007, 02:13:16 AM

if predictions are right.. one from the san andres falut would sever I-10, so it would be damn hard to get anyone out of there. lleast that high speed city hall you guys have will stay intact. Most earthquake proof building in the country I hear

Oh my god! NagykÃ...â€˜rÃƒÂ¶s (Hungary, Central Europe) is so far away from most of you guys! Heh, I'm stuck in a small town... but I really don't like it - so boring... Szeged is much better (this is where I study) - it's a real university city!

You're a lot closer to us than you might think, Exa. At least it seems that way to me, given the fact I'm an old geezer and thus I can (so far, anyway) remember some events from ages ago Ã¢â,¬â€ things which happened, for example, in 1956.

I was living at Miami in Florida at the time; hence I could only imagine how awful the situation in Hungary must have been. I thought, as a little kid used to the bad-guy/good-guy "all's well that ends well" points of view continuously foisted upon the U.S. public via corporate mainstream media of communication, that our nation might go to war to assist the Hungarians.

How ignorant I was, how little I knew of politics! I'll tell you this, though: Everyone whom I knew Ã¢â,¬â€ acquaintances, friends, myself, relatives Ã¢â,¬â€ was completely in sympathy with your country's men and women who'd (albeit only temporarily) kicked the bums out and sought to establish a free society.

Distant sympathy, of course, doesn't help those who are on the spot in a crisis. Anyway, to make this long story short, at that time I couldn't imagine ever speaking with somebody from such a seemingly-distant place as Hungary; yet now, thanks to my humble computing system and the inter-net, I have.

BAHAHA!

Liberty Tower is quite an earthquake resistant skyscraper. Second tallesy in an active earthquake region. ^^ Not sure about City Hall, but I'm sure it has a lot of concrete.

MisterCat: Internet is great. I have made online friendships all over the place: Malaysia, UK, Connecticut, to name a few.
Being a rather reserved person, I like how the internet provides me with a nice outlet.

Exa: I'm sure the European guys are closer than I am. haha ^^

I lived maybe 2 hours from Sleepy for about well.. as long as he has been a member here btu we never hung out so it dosent matter how close you are I guess

I was watching a special on the big one in HD and they showed all the ultra high speed stuff that cityhall has built into it, like the einter thing is on a big moving shockabsorbing platform and such.
