OS-tan Collections

 Catalonia, Spain  :3

That explains my poor english XD
And... people here knowing about OS-TANS.... well... I never asked  .__.U
But i'm drawing right now some OS-TANS and talking about them to my friends XP
(well, i'm studying in a Comic and Art School, I draw manga and my objective is to live like a mangaka in japan! XP, or anywhere... ^^U)

JANE!

 Clermont Ferrand, France :D

And that'll explain also my variable english level :P

 I live in Florida... I get on when ever really, maybe if I want to upload an image or look through the galleries.

 Hummm I wonder if there are any OS tan fans in Iraq ?  :huh:   :lol: I ghighly doubt it. Ill be the first when I get there (well maybe other service men like meself)

bobthecreep I just noticed your from cali too, where exactly is chino?

Wow everyone is from all over and im just in the US up here in Iowa. The only people even remotly interested in the OS tans up here are my friends that i showed them too. Eh, its better than nothing, expecially seeing as it sounds like many of you live in places with less exposure to them.

Hello...

I'm new around here... yoroshiku onegaishimasu

I'm posting form Bandung, Indonesia... A little Crowded city if I say...
(I'm sorry for the bad grammar)

hope we'll getting along fine...

Arigatou Gozaimasu

Indonesia, wow, long way from here. Are there many that know of the OS-tans there?

Well, I know some of my friends in my college who knows about OS-tans, in fact, it is them who make me know about OS-tans :). I dont know about any other people in my country, or my town, or even in my college who knows about OS-tans. But I think, there's more people than the ones I know, who knows about OS-tans.

Aye, im sure there are, we seem to be an odd bunch too, those who are drawn to them for some strange reason...

LOL...

Sometimes, some of us is considered to be odd , by most people, for some reason.

But, in my point of view, it's quite fun for me to have only a small group of OS-tan fan. It's like having a small, private group that you can involve deeply with it.

Yep, and apparently we are from all around the world over here so youll be right at home. This is one of the only places on the earth i belive, where my english is considered good. :P

I live on the border of Cleveland and Lakewood in Ohio, Lakewood side.  Cleveland's literally a block behind me.  But it's my uncle's house I'm living at right now, for school.

In about a month I'll be moving back to my grandma's house in Doylestown, OH (near Akron) for my summer job at the Summit County MetroParks.

My parent's house, and where most of my stuff is still hiding, is in Mechanicsburg, OH.  Which is a small town about a half-hour away from Springfield, OH.

Until we moved in 4th grade, I lived in Barberton, OH (also near Akron).

And I spend a heck of a lot of my time in Columbus, OH, where most of my friends live.

I'm just an Ohio person.

hey tanuki!
gw jg dari bandung! XD
ti sukajadi~!!

btw my current location is Singapore

Weks..!
OK, Dunia emang sempit (OK, The World IS small)

hey tanuki u know u can post in other topics as well ... it just seem tht u only posted here

I am from Washington State.  Thought I wish I could someday go to Japan.  Maybe during the summer I might also go and visit Canada.

where at in washington?  I was from there before i joined the marine corps.... Everett area actually, heck ill be in lynwood here in a month or two for vacation.

The city I live in is Federal Way/Kent

I think I went there like.... once. I dont remember what for.  I like washington tho, beats the hell out of southern california.. Once I get out Im never going back there -.- well maybe comic con every year.

Im not sure but maybe im the only Brit in here?

Anyways im from Warrington, Cheshire. If anyone wants to know its 20 miles west of Manchester in the UK.

And also, ive been an anime for a while but it was a friend from Newark that told me about OS-tan though nothing about websites. Thank Google im here...

I'm not sure. There are probably some others. All I can say is I'm from America, just west of Washington DC, but east of Cleveland.

Yeah... I'm not sure if anyone active here is from the UK.

I've never been across the Atlantic.  Only across the Pacific.  ...multiple times. (Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan)


And Jeff is curious as to why the Captain doesn't like southern cali.

Ive been Hong Kong, Malaysia and Austrailia. Very nice down that part of the world, at least if your a tourist.

Loved Hong Kong. (apart from my mom's obsessive shopping, of course. haha)

I have proof of my visit!! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/14184058/

I want to go to Malaysia.  Too bad I didn't get to go while in Singapore... oh well, next time.




....I didn't mention where I was from, did I? Well, if you haven't figured out from what's under my avatar... Los Angeles, California.  And not in one of those numerous residential towns with names around LA.  Downtown's right next door. I really live in Los Angeles.

Someday I wish to go to Asia. I have been to Europe several times.

Ive been to LA, i stayed in the Magic Castle Hotel while there. Thats just off Hollywood Blvd so its a drive out from Downtown.

The best thing I found in LA though was meeting Dominic Keating and Conner Trinner (Lt Reed and Cmd Tucker from Enterprise) in some random supermarket carpark. And Yoshinoya  ;010


If you ever find yourself going to Malaysia just ask me as ive been round there quite a bit. Some old photos can be found at my dads website http://www.stankevitch.com/paul/index.html.

Those photos are before I got my glasses so look alot younger. Anyways enjoy the sights of Malaysia. Years 2001, 2002 and 2004.

Hehe, you remind me of me. A little bit odd, a little bit wealthy, quite intelligent. As for Malaysia, I had never given it much thought. I've always wanted to go to Japan or China.

Quote from: "NewYinzer"Hehe, you remind me of me. A little bit odd, a little bit wealthy, quite intelligent. As for Malaysia, I had never given it much thought. I've always wanted to go to Japan or China.

I dont think of myself as od, i think of myself as different. Nor am I wealthy as my dad in the past year has become a tightwad.

And ive wanted to go to Japan too, that was the idea but it became quite pricey so we went to LA/SF instead. Though I made us stay in Japantown in SF though, just for fun  ;001

omg Yoshinoya



Ate yoshinoya in hong kong and singapore.  Next time i go to japan, i'll eat it there too.  ...and the philippines. XD;

I didnt get chance to go when I was in HK, even though we walked past one on Hong Kong Island somewhere near Star Ferry.

And not even when I was in Singapore for a day. We traveled to Sentosa (and seen Kiki) but not into Singapore itself so didnt have time to look for one  ;015
This is because we had to get across the border to Johor Bahru, Malaysia as we were staying there.

I miss Kai Tak...I wish I could have been there before they demolished it.

What will happen to my city?

I reside at Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon.  I enjoy living in Portland and refuse to leave, unless bribed to do so (with a great deal of money).  My first place of residence was New York city ââ,¬â€ Jackson Heights in the Borough of Queens.

Other places I've resided are:  Point Pleasant Beach in New Jersey, Miami in Florida, Cullman in Alabama, San Antonio and San Angelo in Texas, Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands, Da Nang in Viet Nam, Eugene in Oregon (for university).  Ethnicity-wise, my maternal ancestors were French and my paternal ancestors Irish.

So ... there!

;012

=^..^=

I live in the state of Connecticut   ;hi

I am from Austria ^^

Hi, Hild-sama!

Hope you enjoy your time here! You can introduce yourself in the member introduction thread here: http://ostan.blackdiam.net/viewtopic.php?t=125

So, you're from Austria... I'm guessing you speak German? I don't speak Deutsch, but Kami-tux is from Germany...

Austria...such a beautiful country! I remember that my family and I were touring Europe on the Autobahn, and road construction forced us onto a back road. Before too soon, my dad had to use the bathroom, so he went in a creek. After pulling his pants up, he slipped on some rocks, breaking his finger. He was soaking wet and had to put his finger in a split of some sort. He was able to find new clothes in our bags, but no shoes. We finally made it to the hotel in Klagenfurt, but he had no shoes. At first the manager thought he was a farmer, then my dad pointed out the window to our BMW. After that the trip went pretty well. Memories...


Anyway, welcome to our humble hamlet!

I live in Norway (it used to be right next to Soviet Russia). I'm right where that arrow points.   Don't go there, it's scary.

note to self, do not go to norway.  come to think of it but that island looks kinda like one of those old bard insterments.. i forget what they are called.. look kinda like a guitar.

A Lute?

yeah thats it.   funny insterment for your country to look like.   :P

It was originally bigger, but Sweden (which is also next door), kept taking chunks out of our landmass.  Apparently they thought that was OK, since we had been at war and stuff (by no fault of our own, it was all Denmarks fault since they were running the show at the time).   Some of us keep asking them to give it back, but we've had little luck so far.

Don't come to Norway.. alright, if you don't want me to :/
What's so bad about it?

I'm still living in the southern USA, heh.

buncha bullies, taking your lunch monie and your land.  i can just see a country tan for norway jumping up and down waving her arms saying give it back give it back! as Sweden tan holds it just out of reach

Yeah, at least we coulda shared.   But it's OK really.  Because we got the North Sea, which is full of delicious oil.  Sweden got the Baltic Sea which Russia used as their personal toilet for years.

a russaian toilet... i could imagin it would look pretty bad..... comrad.

Now I shall blabber on with meaningless stuffs.

Aust-Agder... seems people want to go there, what with the tourism thing, according to wikipedia. (Yes, I went and looked for what county you lived in. I'm bored and doodling with a mechanical pencil...)

Bahaha, Afghanis-tan. XD;

Japanese toilets are fancy.  haha I knew I should have taken a picture of that thing when i was there....

afghanis-tan is funny.  I have to admit they hit Merikan right on the head.

Yeah, the town where I live is actually quite nice during the summer, lot's of stuff happening in the town center all day long.  

It's being somewhat remodeled these days, so there's been a lot of construction going on, but I hope they'll be finished before next summer.

I'm at Thailand! The land of smile!
Even there was a coup at 19 Sep. A few days later, I see a lot of people taking photographs with the soldiers and tanks.

totally forgot about this thread.

Capt: Agreed, Afghanis-tan is funny. XD

Bob: Jeff likes pictures. ^^

....I really need to upload the ones I took in Japan.

yush, I'm sure anyone even remotely following the news knows about that.  At least there wasn't any violence...

I went to Bangkok... what was it, 3, 4 years ago? All I did was follow my mom around as she shopped... I wished I got to see more.

...laksa is spicy. lol

Your lucky your not in the military sleepyD cus thats the city we do not mention.

Not if you value your junk.


Come to think of it I never got to visit tailand.  Shame really.  hit half a dozen countries in that area but never Tailand.

It's Thailand. T-H-A-I-L-A-N-D
Not Tailand, actually - -;

Um,........ not sure how to say this, but I get the impression "Tailand" was misspelled intentionally......  One of the Captain's long stories, I'm sure.........  Ã,¬___Ã,¬'

haha, right... having gone to an all-boys high school, I can figure the repercussions of mentioning that name. Maybe I should refer to it by its full name then:
Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayutthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udom Ratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanu Kamprasit


Longest city name ever.

It is not difficult to spot italy (my country) on a world map...

it is that which has the form of a boot...



And this is Naples and Vesuvius Volcano:



Best known in the world for:

Pizza!



Pizza as ists original neapolitan aspect: soft and thin...

[No crunchy and thick as many people may think it should be...  ;014  ;022 ]

Spaghetti!



(Here with sea"fruits")

Mozzarella cheese!



The only cheese in the whole world which smells of milk and not stinks...  ;010

Babà (pron:b-ah b-ah) cakes:



It is a cake from Poland adopted in austrian Wien as very complicated and for special occasions only, full of candy fruit and cream.

In Naples it arrived with Austrian domination in 1700 and soon becomes citizen of Naples transforming it a very "citizen walky cake" for very busy people to be consumed quickly.
Reduced, with no candy fruit and cream anymore. Jut a sprice of Rhum or Limoncello and maybe a little whipped cream if you want to consume it by seat at a table of a cake parlour.

Zeppola cake:



This is another neapolitan dish that is actually conquering world.
Best known with its plural "zeppole".

And finally Sfogliatella recipe cake:



Limoncello lemon liquor




Vulcan Vesuvius:



Pompei archeological site:



Capodimonte Museum with Farnese Collection and other masterpieces:





Caserta King's Palace:







Which you sure had spotted in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" movie, as it was the location for the Naboo queen's palace:



Or again you could had seen this palace accredited as "the Vatican" into Mission Impossible III.

Mandolino:



And this musical banjo-like instrument introduces you to neapolitan music!

Never ever heard "O sole mio" or its variant by Elvis Presley "It is now or never"?

Eduardo De Filippo comedian writer:



Author of "Filumena" tragedy and the "Ghosts of Naples" comedy.

(actor John Tuturro is actually porting "Ghosts of Naples" in a world tour)

Pulcinella:



Also world known as "Mister Punch", a character of the Comedy of Art.


And finally for your eyes...

Sophia Loren:



Oscar Award winning actress

Which inspired also Carl Barks comic maker for Disney's Uncle Scrooge Magazine villain character of Magica de Spell:



That it is all from Naples!

Whoa, that's a comprehensive location introduction, Raffaele-san. ^o^

*salutes*

Now I want to visit Italy, thanks to Raffaele the Amigan's excellent overview.  Thank you, Raffaele!

By the way, regarding Sophia Loren, I'd like to suggest everyone screen Vittorio De Sica's 1961 film La Ciociara (released in the U.K. and U.S. as Two Women).  Sophia, in the lead role, delivered a tour de force for which the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded her an Oscar.

Just so you'll know, Raffaele, it's perfectly all right with me if I see Naples and then die.  I want to eat some of that pizza first, though.

;010

And if you like Sophia Loren I advice you to see also:

- "Ieri, oggi, domani" also known with its international name "Yesterday, today, tomorrow" another masterpiece with Sophia and with Marcello Mastroianni as male main actor. Both were directed again by Vittorio de Sica and another Oscar award winning.

If you like more introspective movies:

- "Una giornata particolare" aka "A Special Day", again Sophia and Marcello at their best, directed by Ettore Scola. (2 nominations).

And as relaxing movies:

- "Arabesque" by Stanley Donen.

(One of my preferred movies! And it truly deserves to be seen!)  ;010

And finally a very magnificent fabulous fairy-tales movie with Mrs Loren and Mr. Omar Sharif:

- "C'era una volta..." aka "Once upon a time", or also "More Than a Miracle" in USA, which could also be known with the horrible name of "Cinderella italian style"...
(Very horrible name because it is not related directly with Cinderella tale. Except the fact that the heroine of the story is a peasant woman.)

I was astonished when I discovered this movie five or six years ago. I knew nothing of it!
It is a story made by a big collage of ancient 1600 neapolitan tales.

Sure it is weird, fabulous and evocative...

When in Italy make me a whistle, so we could meet, and I will avoid you to be trapped in the vaste swamp of modern pizzerie reastaurants, which were born in the recent times to catch tourists and which are too often just of "middle quality" (if you are lucky) but also always of EXPENSIVE prices.  ;026

(Due to some speculations on Euro currency since 2001, prices of meals in Italy increased of 100%. Some prices on certain products even of 200%, and reastaurant keepers were among the first who speculated on Euro!) ;014

Thank you, Raffaelle,  for all those film references!  I shall have to see if the video store has them for rent ââ,¬â€ not only to watch Sophia but also Marcello Mastroianni, one of my all-time favorite actors.

On the subject of Italian cinema, one of my favorite actors is Giulietta Masina.  She was brilliant in Federico Fellini's 1954 film La Strada ("The Road"), in the role of Gelsomina; and I also was very impressed with her role as Giulietta Boldrini in Fellini's 1965 film Giulietta degli spiriti (released in the U.S. as Juliette of the Spirits).

I'd love to visit Italy, of course, but my traveling days are behind me.  My rich uncle, Sam, sent me to various Asian destinations some years ago; and although I'm quite satisfied with having experienced the Orient, I'm sorry to have never been to Europe ââ,¬â€ but such is life!

:smoke:

=^..^=

S. E. England, UK.
At least we didn't get the worst of the recent storms...

I travel a lot. Airports are a most consistent location for me so you might say that's where I live, even though I hate them. Other common places are Alaska(current location), California, and Costa Rica. The worst part about travel is that it consumes massive amounts of time. I'm unable to pursue most of my hobbies.

Myrdin, I feel your pain when it comes to airports.  I don't travel very often nowadays, but back in the '60s I did a lot of it; and my love of air travel, from back in the day, has given way these past few decades to downright hatred.

De-regulation of airlines in the States marked the downfall of enjoyable air travel.  Back when ticket prices were set in stone, the only way airlines could compete for business was via service; so service was almost universally good.

Now, there is no service:  no in-flight meals, seats designed for short anorexics, mile-long lines at check-in counters with one person (two if you're very lucky) assigned to wait on everybody, aircraft cabins which are either too hot or have no air circulation (or both)....  The list of horrors goes on and on.

Plus, as we saw in the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 tragedies, all that airlines have to do is pout and the federal government throws billions of dollars of our money at them; and nothing improves.  My biggest gripe, though, is the stupid hub-and-spokes malarkey foisted on the traveling public by airline owners and their friends in federal government.

Once upon a time, if you wanted to fly from point A to point B you could find a flight which did just that.  Now, you're forced to stop at these god-awful hub airports ââ,¬â€ like O'Hare in Chicago, where your connecting flight always leaves from a gate five miles distant from where you deplaned upon arrival.

Flying used to be fun, but now it's one royal pain in the ass.  Thanks a lot, corporate executives and politicians, for making what used to be an enjoyable mode of travel into a pile of Spam-in-a-can garbage!

100% Filipino living in Quezon City XD

oh I guess i should mention that Im now living in Everett washington, no longer california.. thank the 9 divine


20 points to the one that gets that reference!

guess I can't get that 20 points. XD;

Jeff is Filipino! I live in California.   ._.

My Tagalog is horribly rusty tho (but it's not so bad that I can't speak at all... ^^).

points still up for grabs!


I feel for jeff.  jeff is in La.  La is a bad place.  I fear for jeff.

LA's subway system sucks.  When Jeff went to Tokyo in April Jeff loved public transportation.  Here, Jeff can't get anywhere.  Not even by car with all the traffic. >.<

A police officer was shot yesterday, near-walking distance from the apartment I live in.  Of course, I didn't know at the time, but that was the reason the street was closed and I had to sit in traffic yesterday morning.

Other than that, and the threat of earthquakes, and the occasional aggravating idiot, LA is just fine.

....I try to avoid Hollywood, but my sisters go to school near there.... :P

I avoid the whole damn place -_- LA dosent seem that bad.. untill you go elsewhere and remind you what a good neighborhood is really like.

I mean.. the LAPD offered me about 70grand a year to start.. but I figured that would be more dangerous then going back to Iraq.

yeah, I've done some traveling, so I know what you mean. Did I mention I live under the Rampart Division's beat? That should give everyone an idea of the crime rate where I live.  I'm 3 stories above street level.  A little buffer zone, if you want to put it that way. ^^ I dislike walking outside here... And if you did accept that job with the LAPD, I'd fear for you. o_O

I'm also afraid of the crazy idiots that drive around here. I can't really avoid contact with them when I need to drive someplace.

Naw, like i said, Im now In everett washington, looking to join the seattle PD.  only 46 grand a year to start, but far less dangerous

I didnt even like to stop in LA for gas -_-  I try to push on through as far as I can before I stop or stop before I get there tomake sure I have enough to get  through.

Blimey,  with how many cali members we had, we should have done a meet.  oh well, I cant participate anymore

living in the Philippines, though i regret not learning any mandarin,
Why can't i speak mandarin!!  
i'm filipino of pure chinese blood.  ;hi

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.

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 :P

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)

Im from Connecticut, Usa

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

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

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

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...‘rös (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 ââ,¬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 ââ,¬â€ acquaintances, friends, myself, relatives ââ,¬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.

;hi

I have a question.... If hungray attacked turkey.. do you think greece would help?

(read that out loud if you dont get it..)

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 :P

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.

Oh my god! I just got your words joke.  o_o

It is sooo awful that I really don't know if to laugh at my improved skills of english...

...Or as a real alternative I could kill you in order to save all mankind from your jokes... ...And then committing seppuku, because the mental effort to understand it, makes me totally insane.... ;006




















BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! ;025

Huh. Didn't know that, but I have heard of those systems in other buildings.


Raffaele:
And yeah. Jokes like that are fun.

It's like math jokes from your math professor.  You laugh at the professor, not the jokes. XD (But other people's reactions are also funny, and yours made me lol. haha)

it seems like that i'm the only one from Germany -.- but this isn't that bad because are some from the neigborhood ^^ (UK, Norway etc...)

I'm a chinese man who live in germany since i was born (in Wiesbaden)
I still speak chinese (but cantonese but i take lesons in manderin)
 
It's good to hear that people like my hometown Hong Kong ^^ (i was there about seven times because there are the most of my relatives so around 1000 ^^")

I have a friend that visits hong kong all the time for buisness, his house it covered from top to bottom with artwork and nick nacks from there.

but I dun care for them, even after I lived there for the last 5 years.  god Im glad to be gone from there.

but if ever we do a meet up, i guess thats where it will be -_- more peeps would attend then

Oh... like the bloody soup. Err... bloody wound? My bloody vagina? The bloody knife. I get it!

Righty...then I'm probably some 6-8 timezones ahead of you guys. Nevertheless, due to extreme insomnia I'm having serious trouble sleeping, so I'll usually up 'til round 1am anyways.

Insomnia... must be great. I hate insomnia... sleep is wonderful.

Hm, well, it's kind of a hate-love relationship between us. But I rarely get to see much of it...

I am from Germany as well, Thurosis.

I live in Stockholm, Sweden

What? Stockholm, like syndrome for kidnapped people? ;013

Stockholm, as the capital of Sweden. :p

Gee, i know that. But it's also known from the Stockholm Syndrome, which is something like that the kidnapped becomes emotionally involved with the kidnapper and stuff (very good plot device if you ask me), and makes the rescue seriously much harder, if not impossible.

That's correct as well. Extremely difficult issue to solve in case of a longer-running hostage situation.

I live in the next biggest city in Denmark - Aarhus, but originally I come from the 8475th biggest town Gjerlev, which is located around 15 km away from the 6th biggest city in Denmark - Randers, which btw lies around 50 km north of Aarhus ..... :D:D:D:D:D

Tell me, Ga- no i mean, guybrush - IS Denmark really scandinavia or is it just fake?

Alright - first of all it's a very impolite joke you have running there with the exchangement of U with A - even if the result will be a cleaning tool with non straight sexual behaviour

Second - I am indeed from Scandinavia - Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland is what I'd call Scandinavia - then again some other people think it's only Denmark, Sweden and Norway - what would I know - with my definition one of the admins is from Scandinavia as well so I'll stick to that

tsuman, tsuman...^-^'
But...cleaning tool with non straight sexual behavior? XD

hmm, i used to live in Brunei but now im in Malaysia

I'm in Melbourne, Australia. I'm usually on when I have nothing better to do.

Never been there, been to Brisban and surrounding area, and Darwin.  Darwin was better for the austrailian experience, even if it ment getting asked for money to by beer from the abariginals.  Brisban had so many out country people you couldnt find the real asutrailians.  tho, that included japanese school girls, so I forgive them

I'm already bracing for the reaction I might get from revealing this, but I live in a state a part of the deep south of the United States called Mississippi.  I'm not really what you would call a proud southerner or at least a proud Mississippian.  I try to get on the various forums I belong to fairly often in the beginning, but I've noticed that my attendance tends to dwindle as time rolls on... I'm hoping it won't happen here :D .

I'm living in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I'm from the states. Connecticut, to be exact. Can't say more than that. ^^

hummm... that must be one of those eastern states i dont rightly know where they are.

I'm from Iceland, the only country (or island if you will) that has the proper temperature for me. If i am to go into specifics I live in the eastern parts they call it Fljótsdalsshérað, I live about 9km (km as in kilometres sorry yanks but I don't understand the mile system and all that) from the eastern capital of Iceland, with the awesome population of 2000 people! We think that's alot around here

In Canada, milk comes in bags.

Haha! You should write for television!

;013 Seriously!? 2000 people is a great deal of people!?

MAJI-SSU???

O_o

And here I was thinking my humble town of 40000 was puny.

I am currently deployed to Iraq and while I havent spent to much time on this site as of yet you all will probly end up seeing me a few times a week whenever the net is actually running at a reasonable rate(IE: > 5 minuets to load a page).  However once i get back state side I will be in Hawaii.

Where at?  What unit?  At least that much is fine under OPSEC.

I am part of the 209th ASB currently at Speicher, its fairly quite here so its not to bad, definatly not like the stories that I hear from some of the infantry folks but what can I expect being support =)

Eh well, I spent my time first in Basra, then fob falcon in sothern bagdad, and then finally good old camp fallujah.  that last one sucked the most -_-

I wouldnt say its bad personaly, but then again i have Vietnam vet buddies, and they tell stories about what wars are really like..

...and i just came home from a week in norway. Ice anyone?

Got enough of it here thank you. So you went to Norway ey...? Did you go and see the U valley? That's one long valley!

Hm, is that one of them fjords, eh? Nah, I was stuck on a mountain skiing in hurricane winds, but that was okay.

Well it's not really a fjord, there's no ocean there. Where in Norway where you exactly? I wanna' know if I've been there or not =P

I'm out in Hawaii, eg -10 GMT

Florida.

AZ, and its not hot ... yet.

AZ? Where is that? Doko ka na ~ Could it be Arizona? Sorry I'm not really good at geography

Yes, it is the abbreviation for Arizona.

Yup Arizona. Known for being hot and having a big hole up north.

Alabama

Hey, I seem to have missed you for some reason.  Next time give me a holler.   ;054

Heh ^^
Well, it's not THAT small. Not like Monaco or anything.

Quote from: "NejinOniwa"Heh ^^
Well, it's not THAT small. Not like Monaco or anything.

I know.  It's long and stretched tho.  And borders with Soviet Russia.  Well, former Soviet Russia.  Gawd I miss those days.   ;011

CANADA!! ^___^
I'm from the captial, Ottawa. <3

I made a trip to canada once, to vancover.  I think they were happy to see me leave.

"how much is this in american money? like 2 dollars?"

"this is canada? where the fuck are all the igloos at?"

"Im sorry, ill try to be more sensitive to your culture. would it help if i finished me sentences with eh so i can fit in?  eh?

Im an asshole, i know.

* cue the Dennis Leary tune *  ;012

USA vs Canada = epic battle ^^

North Carolina...very boring place

Malaysia... i log whenever i got good connection to the internet

I life in the north of Germany near Braunschweig.
If I´ve enough money/time then I´m online for nearly the whole day.
I don´t care about the location [Home, Webcafe, Work]

Just south of Atlanta, Georgia. Nothing special.

New Hampshire.

what happened to old hampshire anyways?

Still in England, I believe ;)

finland - Too cold or too hot, if it rains, you get sweaty, if it is sunny, you just stay dry. And any thing is very - very expensive...

What the? More of them? Mushrooms...?

Israel. :D

I have a pistol from Israel.  its very nice.

funny thought most pistols made in israel are labeled with Made in china or was it hong kong

No, mine says Desert eagle .44 magnum pistol Isreal Military Industries on the side

ooo weird my dad said that he had to buy a pistol there bcause it was like currency

Israel is scary place. o_o

I'm going to spend a part of my year after-next Christmas in Israel. Just before I go to Vienna.

hmm.... vienna. great place to visit if you know where to go.

I'll buy a map or something.

Indonesia....kotagede.
City of silver crafting. It has the best silver product in indonesia.

i forgot if i had replied this topic-v-
ok let's just think as i haven't replied it yet -3-
live in a very small city in China, not a bad place, it's not too cold in winter, and not too hot in summer either^o^
maybe i'll start studying in Japan from October on, if i can get my visa^ ^

Im British born and bred.

I live in the suburbs of Paris.
It's really practical since there's less people than Paris (so there's less street sounds) and you go in the capital very quickly.
What's more i have almost everything around my flat ^^
By the way, the only thing i miss is the sea xD

I live in Isola della Scala, near Verona... Veneto... Italy...

I technically live in Perth, Western Australia... but because of my studies, I'm living currently in Kalgoorlie *sigh* =_=;

Virginia, USA. On forum every time I am very bore. Noon-midnight

I live in Arizona, USA. It's really hot here, even in the winter. It's 80 degrees F right now...

I come on whenever I feel like it. Usually around 3-9 PM.

I live in southern California, its pretty good, other than the fact that gangsters "own" every block.

OBJECTION!  Socal sucks and I can prove it!!

Well its my opinion anyways. and its shared by many I know.  Fucking california *was stationed on camp pendelton*

hahaha.... I just pictured this when I read that: http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=2240587  

lol, it's not all bad, sans the crime... and pollution... and... the snobby hollywood-type peoplez... XD;

>_> .... I like the food.  And I could get a job easily here as an aerospace engineer.... or in Texas... or Florida... or even up there in Washington if Boeing hires me. ^^

....we have Anime Expo? XD;;

go with boeing in washington.  I may be working for them myself soon. Im getting on with their security wing.

the only good part of cali is sandiego comic con.. i hated just about all else.  oh and in and out.  nothing beats and in and out burger

Everyone leaves out the gangsters, the gangsters are the reason why southern california sucks, that and the pollution, the drunks I see, and more, but I was raised in socal so i don't know how it is anywhere else (in the US)

not knowing how it is anywhere else is your problem.  You only see socal for the lump of steamy shit it is after you have lived elsewhere.

Quote from: "CaptBrenden"not knowing how it is anywhere else is your problem.  You only see socal for the lump of steamy shit it is after you have lived elsewhere.

I've done a good amount of traveling. Never really --lived-- anywhere else.  Stayed in many places for a week or two, never lived.  

And yeah, looking at most other places, this place does suck.  But I do like the diversity.  (and the food from that diversity. especially the food. haha )  That, in my eyes, is its saving grace and keeps me attached.  If I ever get a family tho, I'm sure I won't be raising them here. (barring some miracle)

I stayed in California for a week one time, but it was at a ranch. The place was great, the air was pristine, and the food was mega hearty. The stars were also so beautiful... I would love to go back sometime.

The cities seem horrible though, so I'd rather not stay there. Too much pollution and gangs, like everyone seems to say.

Yes I come from the sex and drugs capitol of europe :D , that tiny, tiny dried-up swamp between the UK (go Top Gear!! WOOT) and Germany, wich is currently run by a schoolboy closely resembling harry potter, and his incompetent cronies.
as for culture: everybody's a minority here and yet everybody still thinks that anime is something you can order with rice... So you can all feel a bit better about the places you live in 'cause this place really is a dump.


But I like it for some strange reason :D

do you have any of those wooden shoes? dont they hurt? Do you live in a windmill?

I have wooden shoes. They only hurt your ears, due to CLANKETY-CLANKETY crapshit.
Or if they're a bad fit...

Quote from: "CaptBrenden"do you have any of those wooden shoes? dont they hurt? Do you live in a windmill?

errm, well no I don't have wooden shoes, and yes they can kill your feet if you're not used to them. My workshoes are pretty mundane steel-toed workshoes with the soles half melted off because of the chemicals we use at work :D

And as for living in a windmill...We've replaced these...


with these ones that you cant live in


The old ones are now museums...

then where do you live? ._. what happened to all the people that used to live in them?  *shattered dreams of living in a windmill* Wahhhaaaa ;o;

Well, if you put a lot of effort in it I guess you could manage to get a windmill for living purposes, however that may be the same as our castle rip-off (you can buy a castle for about â,¬2.50 and live in it, but you must -by law- keep the site in pristine condition, of your own money)
But I just live in an ugly new-built (read: bodged, as all new buildings are) appartment block, where the red arrow points (bottom pic). In a hick town where everyone (as it seems) is a hypocritical über-christian yenter (bad, and annoying). The current architectural state of my town is so bad that the only decent pic of the city center I could find is this:

Someone got it in their thick mind that it is a GOOD idea to tear down the historical buildings (not the churches offcourse) and replace them with ugly new ones...

In-N-Out nearby, train station to downtown nearby, so I can skip rush hour traffic...
haha, it kinda sucks that AX just moved closer to the LA Convention Center (mere minutes from my apartment), and now I moved further away.  oh wells.  At least it's closer than Long Beach or Anaheim.  
Actually, I miss being close to downtown restaurants.  there was so much more variety there, and the little restaurants make the best food in my opinion.

I live in USA, Minnesota.

I usually be on the computer when I have no homework, and not working at my job. Or not with my friends.

*sneaks out of thread after apparently setting of a nuclear politics-bomb*

while i have political swag (it was free) i'm VERY sick of it. i just can't get into it. but it will be better than bush, that's for sure.

Continuing the off-topicness, as long as Obama does not raise federal taxes, and doesn't imposes regulations that make it extremely difficult to obtain firearms or have a public outlet for radio that people want to listen to, I'll be fine.

Although, he probably won't.

QuoteI thought Brobama was quite christian.

I guess I was mistaken, someone I know who is a huge obamtard said he was.   Then again <_< he wouldnt have a hateful inflamatory pastor if that was the case.  

Anyhow, again, as much as I would just LOVE to rant about him, like I said, for forum peace I highly saggest we avoid political discussion. I already lost a friend of over 12 years over it...

You know, we should modify this thread some.. instead of just telling us where you are, maybe tell us where you are and a little about it. Regional foods, facts, historical events, etc

Kampen also has some fun anekdotes, wich i will look up and post here...

Well, my home is pretty boring, really.
U.W. is a pretty small town, 36k roughly, with a hueg lot of sandpeople in the central district, nothing but whites in the west (where i live), unimportant people in the northeast-east, and self-important snobs with non-closed pools in the southeast.

What we've got of rarities can be summed up to a bronze-age farm/museum, a castle, a big glass tilted-pyramid-ish building and some fag conference center where the big shot politicians of the world go.

Boring, isn't it. -.-

SIR YES SIR!!

I live in some rural area. Not much vehicle, it's really calm. if i need something, i have to go all the way to the city. The best thing is, most girl in my village is still virgin.... ;073 hehehehee

. _ . thats quite informative.... say... where is your village? ;p

your village sounds nice. you must be able to see so many stars in the sky there. :]

my family in canada lives in a village. a bit odd, but pretty. :] so many stars.

ahh, that reminds me of one of the more pleasent things in Iraq... the near total lack of artificial light at night, you can see every star in the sky, and its warm enough that you can lay outside looking at them as long as you want and not get a chill.  well in summer at least...

And Captain, i heard less positive stories about Afghanistan, but they ran out of diesel to power their aircos, so... But i can imagine the country itself being nice (beautiful even), it's just the people that spoil it...:D

Quotei heard less positive stories about Afghanistan

You got your country wrong thar. >_>

Arizona is the most desert-y place I've ever been to, so I can't talk much for that - however, northern Lapland in the winter months...beautiful.

Night sky holds not a shred of sunlight, and every speckle of starlight reflects uncountable times against the snow, making it bright as dawn - except it's all shining blue. Marvelous, really.

no i meant to say that, and captain will probably understand what i'm saying there...

not really. but why dont you tell us more about your wooden shoes and windmills

well, wooden shoes are used here mostly by farmers for practical reasons, since they are easy to clean and you can slip them on and off easily...Farmers rarely wear shoes inhouse since their shoes are often covered in mud and other crap...
But wooden shoes or a leather variant with an open back are also used as loafers, since you can wear them outside and walk long bits in them (if you're used to them, that is)...

Windmill part will follow...

hmm, i remember holland. simply beautiful. <]

;013
You've been to holland?!

Cool! tell me about it... I love to hear what other people think about this dump- err country... :D

Ive seen Holland on the map, its purple :D

Yes, but it's spelled Tierra del Fuego, with two Rs.

As for Maxima, I suppose you mean the Princess of the Netherlands. Right?

I stopped liking her when, during the 2006 Germany World Cup, she declared on Argentinean National TV that she was hoping that the Netherlands would win the game that ended in a tie against Argentina.

I have nothing against the Netherlands; in fact the Netherlands was one of the few western nations that denounced the atrocities that the De Facto Military government of Argentina was doing during the 70s, but football is something really big here.

I can imagine, I'm half British (so is my sis, obviously) and my sis' boyfriend is Brazilian, so that makes for nice Euro- and Worldcups...:D
That's Holland/England against Brazil, this also made for an excruciating final lap in the GP of Brazil...  ;215

europe was beautiful, and the air didn't smell bad!
amsterdam is in holland, yes? i stayed in an airport in amsterdam for 2 hours. i also passed through various countries on the train.....
but mostly we stayed in sweden, with my grandmother. (it was beautiful, i remember it fondly. we got to stay in a churchyard :3 )

WAH!

Someone passed my vicinity!? I MUST HIED!


er.
Srsly tho, where were you in swethen? (lolpun) I MUST KNOW, FOR THE SAKE OF GATHERING INTELLIGENCE.

Yeah, Nejin here works for Sweden's Federal Bureau, don't you know?  Couldn't you tell by how seriously he takes piracy? :P

On topic, I would really love to take a trip to Europe, sounds nice.  If only I could afford it.

If you do it right, a trip to sweden should actually be quite affordable right now, seeing as the Krona is rock bottom low...

And Schiphol/A-Dam airport isn't much of a place to be if you want to see what hollands about

On that topic, Rotterdam is the weirdest place I've ever seen.


Or at least, its architecture is.

Pencil house? Tilted cube standing on one corner house? What were those designers taking, exactly? O_O

Who in their right mind would want to live in a tilted cube standing on one corner?

The Dutch, I guess?

wow what

And have some PENCIL HOUSE, while you're at it, too!

god, you have posted the most catastrophically ugliest houses in the whole of holland....

Then take the city i live in, that's nice... (pic links to a small wiki article, click on Kampen (overijssel) couldn't link directly)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampen)

ATTENTION SMOKEY! NO QUOTATION MARKS ON URL TAGS! ATTENTION!

Nice view though.

i know, most buildings in my city are monuments...
looks really great...

btw link fixed, sorta

ooo nejin's swedish? hawt. :3

(nothing in that sentence was recognized by spell check. :3)

the cube hauses remind me of hampton. :\

I'LL NEVER SAY WHERE I WENT!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

those cubes must really suck... i guess the dood who designed that was on acid or so...

QuoteI'LL NEVER SAY WHERE I WENT!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Damn, there goes my stalking plan.
Well then. Evil plot number 461.11, revision 12.5...conclusion, failure. Moving on to the next target.

anyone know what this is?  Cus i thought it was a big landmark alot of people knew, but a british friend didnt know what it was the other day.

Air Tower?

space needle, in seattle, right?

space needle.

now what is this? (i'll give you a hint: it fell.)

Uhm, I have no clue ;--;

fail. xD

love the new icon, no more facepalm? ;_;

El Capitan, perchance?

ATTACK THE NEW PERSON!!! >=D *glomp*

I'm guessing I got it wrong..?

Well the only thing i can think of when i read "it fell down" was "london bridge"... ^_^

Quote from: "Chocofreak13"fail. xD

As far as the world is concerned, no more cockleshell.

soon you will be resurrected...
(maybe a phoenix avvi, would fit the situation...)

*gasp* are you ok, cockleshell?? ;_; *huggle*

no, red, i was not implying you got it wrong. i just wanted to glomp the new kid.

*sigh* alas, no one has guessed my landmark. and cockleshell, i'd think you would have, since you're 1 state under me! 0_0; but i guess not. since it fell, my state doesn't have much in the way of landmarks.
unless you count the flume....

Sorry for being ignorant Dutchie...
We have no landmarks like that...
But we do have some epic water management structures...

Added after 2 minutes:

Like the worlds largest flood protection project (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Works)

it's ok. it was the old man in the mountian......till it fell. now we have a moose on our license plates!

Indonesia? My ancestors (15th century AD) are from there... :D

Indonesia,  been there, wish it was under better circumstances.. I was there for the tsunami relife effort for a few weeks.

In other news, Mister T got his catchphrase "I pity the fool" from This Guy and his Mighty Mustache.


DET Ã,,R SYND OM MÃ,,NNISKORNA!!!!!!

<_< please explain how thats related to location.. is that guy from where your at?

Well, that too.

More seriously though, it's related to location since it translates rather to "Poor humans" or something like that, relating to the previous post, lol.

.... "lol"?  Hundreds of thousands die, and you crack a joke?  Especialy after someone just said they are from there?  What if they knew someone there huh?  Think that might upset them maybe?  How about me, I just said I was there for the after math. I saw bodies swept 25 miles off shore that had been water logged and bloated in the sun for a week by the time our ship arrived with food an water and medical supplies.  Think I might take offence to that JUST MAYBE?

Just shut your mouth you insensitive prick.

Yes, i am insensitive.
My prick, however, is not, I believe.
^^

More seriously though, I have a hard time feeling anything for disasters in general - simply because you know that whatever happens, something even worse is going to happen later on, and so on. Misfortune has no limits in a human world, and we all know it, don't we?

I'll want to hear you when an eartquake/freak flood wipes out half of sweden...

No, no. That's gonna be my doing, in the case something goes wrong with my...constructs.

Added after 41 seconds:

So I'll make a public speech about it later for the world to hear, I guess you'll hear me then.

^^

Yes, my mind is twisted, you didn't realize already?

still no reason to bethat insensitive...

In sweden related news... TPB is sued...War on pirates continues...
Make me think of the prohibition... :D

I'm a practically minded person, and that particular emotion has been deemed unnecessary. Therefore, it has been removed from the interface's output console. Thus, no reason to try not to, since it simply won't work.


And the lawsuit against TPB is just a game for the galleries, anyway - nothing's gonna get anywhere this year, or the next, or the one after that. This will go up into the highest instance (it's 1/3 now), and that process is LOOOOONG. Torrents will be just as obsolete as windows 3.1 is today before they finish the trial...whatever the outcome may be.

catfight

Catfights take two women, not one... I'm a guy so it won't be a catfight nao...^_^

We're seriously OT.

It's finally starting to warm up here in MA..

Well, we finally had a winter with temperatures below freezing for longer periods after years of really sucky wiinters...

But the summer/winter cycle is really f***ed up here in holland since a year or 5....

Still cold here... and still loads of deer outside the house, and it's no longer deer season, gyah >__<.

Ah, Deerhunter 2004... it's always deer season on the PC :D
We only have an overpopulation of wild boar here, and it's nearly impossible to get a hunting licence, let alone get a gun...
It's easier to get a crossbow (you can get one of those when you're 16) than a firearm here...

Here it's just the opposite, once you're licensed to use a crossbow, you forfeit any other projectile weapon.  Apparently only handicapped people are allowed to use crossbows for hunting here and you have to prove you can no longer use a firearm or a standard bow before you're given a license to hunt using a crossbow.  This is all according to my father, of course, and he has a tendency to get things totally ass-backwards.  Personally, I only have experience using compound bows, but I am severely out of practice.  So even though I really, really, wants me some deer meat, I can't legally do anything about it -__-.

bambies mom ; _ ;

Strange thing here is: It is illegal to have a firearm without a licence, but any 16 year old can buy a xbow... However it is also illegal to use sharpened tips on arrows and xbow bolts...

WTF seriously, once you have a crossbow, it's easy to make deadly projectiles for it... Plus Xbows are stealthier than firearms...

more stuff that belongs in the GUNS thread http://ostan-collections.net/topic-344-40.html

Quotebambies mom ; _ ;

You forgot to add "is delicious" at the end thar XD.

I keed, I keed.  While it is true that I love, I mean love deer meat, at the same time I feel your pain... kind of.  The truth is, I haven't actually killed a deer yet, I'm not licensed, but even if I was I'd have to worry about dealing with idiot rednecks -__-.

have quite a problem with rednecks in that portion of the country huh? :p

Here our biggest problem is hippy tree hugging liberals =_= I love Seattle but sometimes I cant stand the people

Quotehave quite a problem with rednecks in that portion of the country huh?

Give 'em a spotlight and a rifle, and all of a sudden they're a master hunter -__-.

Quotehippy tree hugging liberals =_=

Hey, I'd say I fall into that category :P.

we only have idiots saying "hunting is cruel" and demanding a ban on hunting overpopulated animals...
I would like to take a minute and thank those M*****F***ing sons of [rest is censored due to graphic nature]....... wannabees for letting hundreds of wild boar slowly starve to death because they think that a mercyful shot through the head wich kills them instantly is F***ING CRUEL!!! anyways what i'm trying to say is that i'd love to put those bastards in the same situation as they put the dutch wild boar in...

once again, i think your bit there is more relevant to the guns thread, not location :P  please take it there.

oh, one thing of note where I am, for those that dont relize it, Microsoft if based out of here too :P  so to me, Bill is more like a local celeberty, that is known world wide :p  I seen him once, went to a dinner thing with my friend that works for that microsoft cherity orginazation

hmmm, i don't know what i'd do if i were to meet gates...
Not that he'd visit holland anyways... we're not that interesting in IT terms...

I didnt say i met him, i said i saw him, he was a speaker

i know...i was just wondering...

BTW, how was that speech?

i dun really know, I wasnt paying attention, i was just there for the food.

LOL...
Well, i'm more of a hardware man myself, so i'd rather go to the CeBIT in hamburg, wich is a relatively small drive for a really nice expo...

we also have nintendos US branch office here too :p

ah, sweet...
Only fun thing in holland we got are the refurbishing co's where you can buy hardware at super low costs... Fun too, i can spend days at such facilities...

hello~!
here comes far estern newbie.

I'm from rep. of Korea (- South Korea).

articles in English are so hardly reading.  ;102
but, so many DBs are encouraging me :D

oh, where abouts are you?

Im pretty cirtain your the first korean  we have here. welcome :3  If you get a chance you should post some pictures from around there

i think, Jap and Kor don't addict with forum.
bcuz, these people mainly use community channels than forum.

so, in forum site, Jap and Kor are so rare...


but picture... there are only APARTMENTS over 15 floors.
the views of sightrange is not partycular.

ah well you would be suprized how differnt something like apartments or city scapes change from country to country.

yep, yep... We even have huge differences in the same country here...

Indeed, Smokeys apartment is a windmill!

Eeehm, unfortunately not, too expensive... I live in a monumental workers house... (ill post a pic when i make one tomorrow...)
But i have to move to an apartment where the electricity bill is included in the rent, so i can splurge on servers... ^_^
But we do have some wacky houses here... :D

North Carolina, USA here!

I used to live in upstate NY for a semester of college, and I love it up there. Very natural, very eco-friendly. Unlike here, where eating your weight in greasy food seems to be a badge of honor.

I have a few friends around here, but I keep to myself most of the time. I've had some bad things happen to me because I went looking for friends, and I am a unmarried Southern girl of child bearing age -.-

I can relate to that experience, it seems like every other day I'm going on about how great Austin, TX is compared to where I live -__-.

Seriously though, Texas gets a bad rep for being rednecky and/or backwards, but Austin is totally not like that at all (well there are rednecks there, but few).

Tradition... it befuddles me too.  Guys get rushed into it, too.  I used to think I wanted to, then I found the joy of porn... and then strip clubs, yay!

Im too jaded to want kids anymore. besides, I have my cats :P [/crazycatlady]

Meh, too many people are having kids.  I used to hate them until I was in the waiting room for my sister's pregnancy.  Seeing someone just before and just after they have a kid really messes with your head.  Anyway, I already have enough nieces and a nephew, so I'm not really interested in having any of my own.  I'm also not that interested in tying myself down, of course, I don't really have a lot to offer right now anyway... so it works out.

Tradition, and pressure. You would be surprised in this day and age how many boyfriends insist their girlfriends listen to everything they say, or get beat or emotionally abused if they try to leave. Don't believe all this "southern girls are tough!" crap you hear about - its all covering quite a sick culture.

IanDanKilmaster, I know right! I have a friend who lives a hour outside of Austin in GiddingS! I went to visit him, and I actually fell in love with Texas. And here I thought I would have to battle the Super Devil the moment I got off the plane.

when we went to Austin, we went to The House of Torment, we went to the mall and I got a lot of stuff I couldn't get here, and then we went to the Alamo, of course, and saw Bill Mahers new film.

I can't wait to move back. <3 Oh, and I got my first, erm "bedroom aide" there that wasn't mechanical in some way.

Too true -__-.  My sister was just talking to me about the whole Rihanna/Chris Brown thing the other day - she was surprised about young couple abuse.  When she said that, I was like "Bitch, did we go to the same school?".  Of course, I'm kidding about what I said, but still I let her know that this was quite common in high school (and I'm pretty sure is still common with those people).

My cousin talked about going to the House of Torment while I was there, but my brother decided it was lame, so he (my cousin) and I just went to a party instead.  The Alamo?  You mean Drafthouse?  My brother's a manager there, it's pretty awesome (I've got a deal of swag, I might post pics of sometime).  I wanted to see Religulous myself, but sadly it never happened.  I'm normally not that big a fan of Mahers, but the trailers for the movie really turned me around.

my roomate had been back and forth from washington to texas half a dozen times now, moving to texas cus he had do, and moving back cus he couldnt stand it.  Texas tis not for everyone I guess

Isn't that the case with about everyplace?
I mean the shitho- village i grew up in, is a great place to live if you want to raise a family and want peace and quiet... But if you want a decent place to spend a friday- or saturday night, go to a city...

I am from BC, Canada!

Well, for me that isn't so true.  Even in this small town, there's plenty creeps and loonies - sure it's quiet, but not a place I'd recommend to start a family.

QuoteI am from BC, Canada!

Howdy, neighbor from the north.  I think you're only the second Canadian we've had in this forum (of course, I haven't been around long enough to know that for sure).  Anyway, that's pretty cool (no that's not a temperature pun -__-; ).

^ yay for being different! XD

Sorry in advance, but:

Canadian eeeh?

OMG really, sorry, but i had to play the stereotype card... ^_^

Haha! Np :D When some people on our vent channel found out a bunch of us on there were Canadian they mentioned the whole aboot thing (instead of about) so now we bug em with it every so often tossing in aboot and eh and such (though we don't use them in our regular speech) :P. Tis fun stuff.

Wow, The House of Torment was utterly awesome. I assure you the reason he said it was "lame" was because he more than likely got scared by the promo videos they have going on in front of the house. And the 15 foot tall demon in front did it, as seen here -


It was quite funny seeing all the tough 13 year olds puffing themselves up, and then coming out shaking and scared. One kid even pulled a fire alarm instead of telling the monsters, like you're supposed to, to get out.

I. . . got very "happy" in my pants. Fear is my utter turn on. I was scared, I was dripping with sweat, and I would have let 50 overweight Asian men take a run at me. at the end.

Pfftt, no. I got Chloroform for that. I got a 8 inch, red, lifelike "toy" if you will, who is named "Superman" for the name. And yeah, you have to be a special mix of independent, crazy, nerd guru to live in Texas. Everything is spread out, and if you don't like long drives you are screwed.

My cousin said the House of Torment was awesome too.  He went there with a couple of girls and this one guy.  It was funny because my cousin is this huge guy and going through the place the guy kept hiding behind him, har.  Um, I, ahem, like being scared too, but things just didn't work out Halloween... sadly.  Actually I spent most of my time in Austin going to concerts at Emo's and Red 7, I saw High on Fire, Opeth, Devin the Dude, mc chris, Method & Red, Brujeria, and I even went to Fun, Fun, Fun Fest (which was more dust, dust, dust than fun).  I also saw pro wrestler Mark Henry at the Method & Red concert at Emo's, and he is freaking huge.  I should also note that while I love metal, I learned that I'd much rather be in a crowd of hip-hop fans than metalheads -__-;.

ehh that would be a bad place for me.. when it comes to being scared I always get the fight reaction not the flight.  Someone jumps out at me and they might get hurt before I relize what im doing =_=

I got the feeling from Austin that it's more of a Deadhead place, with some grunge or techno thrown in when it's drunk.

In short, Austin is a awesome place, and I love seeing where everyone is from!

QuoteI got the feeling from Austin that it's more of a Deadhead place, with some grunge or techno thrown in when it's drunk.

Austin is a music city, so you find all kinds.  I wasn't really referring to the natives, it was just my time in Austin was my first time going to any show.  So I wasn't accustomed to the stupidity that often accompanies the adolescents who attend metal shows.  Still High on Fire/Opeth was a great show, even if the venue was really, really lame (butterflies hanging from the ceiling, WTF?! this isn't a damn prom) and the crowd was filled with idiots (a number of whom I got to watch get escorted out, lulz).

QuoteIn short, Austin is a awesome place, and I love seeing where everyone is from!

Well, I doubt you would want to see where I'm from, but indeed Austin is a great place.

I live in Bangkok Thailand.

Ah, Bangkok... Tropical holiday destination, and birthplace of the Bang-cock joke... :D

I think I only one Russian (Moscow) if I'm not mistaken)

Maybe. There are people from all over *_*

Ooh.

oooooooh.

In b4 hordes of soviet russia jokes. ^^

Honestly, I was thinking you'd be the first, XD.

Glad to see a Russian in here... If you have the same sense of humour as i do, this could be fun... we could crack jokes about the Yankees here... ^_^

Naah, seriously though, once you look beyond the prejudice you see a nice country with lots of lovely nature (photographer, so i look at those things) and a very interesting culture (more sympathetic with former CCCP than with most NATO countries, wich is fun, cuz i'm joining the airforce ^_^)...

Of course i have good sense of humour^^ (Nejin, we like joking about USSR too, so don't worry;))) Yes it's very nice country with beautiful nature (especially on it's northern part, for example, the Far East or Karelia) but the main disadvantage of it, I think, is cold weather (practically 6 month of snow, wind and rain).
I traveled a lot and visited many countries such as Spain, Portugal, France, Germany (only 1 day in Berlin so I actually don't remember it quite well), Andorra, the Netherlands and England (in each of them I've been 3 days, but at that period I've loved them^^) practically the whole Eastern Europe. Wish to go to the USA some day. I just want to be international person, that's all)))

Whoohoo! you've been to Holland! Yeah!
So, how was it? ^_^

It was great though I saw only Amsterdam and countryside near it.The first thing in town that amazed me was a great number of cycles (after seen mostly cars at the road it was really amazing stuff^^ I like cycling^^). And of cause a lot of shops with drugs (if I am not mistaken, I was there 2 years ago :rolleyes: )
Countryside is lovely too ;012 I've never seen wind power plants before)) But It is a shame that I haven't seen fields of  tulips cuz it was winter time :(
And more over it is the homeland of WT (they are my favorite ^_^  ) I want to come back ^_^

Drugs? Amsterdam? Hmmm, one would generally think of a particular substance involving Amsterdam, but I dare not ask if my assumption is correct - it would further derail this thread.  Also, I tend to be paranoid.  Anyway, you seem to have a very interesting background (drawing on the combined knowledge of the info you've shared on this forum), and on top of that, you're a pretty damn good artist, excellent.

On topic, I've already shared a good deal of knowledge about where I'm from.  I'm in the United States, so I'll leave it at that ^^;.

Thanks for the compliment ;073 This knowledge comes not only from travailing but also from my geography studying in university :rolleyes:  We also made there to know each state in the US for our World Economics.
Want to go to the US especially to the states which are containing The Great Plains. Want to see prairie myself ^_^

But I don't understand about drugs. Am I mistaken? I'm sorry if it so(( But I'm sure I saw at the streets of Amsterdam "Magic Mushroom" shop where I wanted to buy a hat made of hemp (just for fun :rolleyes: ) . But when I tried to the shop assistant told me that I'm under-age and can't have it
:rolleyes:

Yeah, there were shrooms in amsterdam, but they're outlawed nowadays after some french tourist ate some and jumped off a bridge, thinking she could fly...
So the only legal drugs available in amsterdam is weed or weed-based... (not that the rest isn't available anymore).. and yes there are indeed lots and lots of cycles in holland, but i wouldn't recommend bringing one to amsterdam (or any personal transportation) because cycles get stolen alot... ^_^

(BTW it is on topic if i post this, cuz i am from holland :P)

oh yes, I have just remembered that each cycle has a personal lock or something like this which made it (as I understand) unable to ride!

Yep, if you don't lock the wheels, chain it to something or take the saddle/steer with you, your bike will get stolen... ^_^ and yes "we" even steal bikes from cops... ^_^

I just imaged stealing bike from a cop. It' something ;012  And I also remembered a thing about cycles. It is always need  to keep eye on them, cuz they might knock person down if it don't give them the way.

well, it's not really dangerous if you look out for the cars (ya know, stay right on the road instead of the middle, stop for cars, etc)...
But yes, some bikers (especially those G**DA** M**H**F**K**G groups of students who bike in F**K**G groups of 4-6 G**D**N** Bikes WIDE and about 20 M**H**F**K**G bikes long.... everytime i'm in a car with somebode we really want to slam the gas down and bash right through those M**H**F**K**G B**C**S!!!!!) are a bit annoying... ^_^


Naah, i don't have issues with certain bikers because i have nearly gotten in an accident/killed when i encountered them... ^_^

Yeah but cars are giving one impression about their danger (for example size) and bikes give the other. Before I saw bikes in Amsterdam I didn't think that they can be realy dangerous :rolleyes: It's cuz in Russia there is practically no cycles on the road. It is a realy very rear thing And about dam students....well this stuff I can only see at fest (which usually takes place at countryside)

Be glad because those groups are lethal... i almost ended up in a canal once bcause of them, and more than once almost ended up against some hard object... I also have the urge to speed up when i see a biker at night who doesn't have his/her lights on... Wich is probably why i still don't have my drivers license, because i have all my lessons in the evening when it's dark...

Driving in town?Or at countryside? In Moscow it is more ricky to drive at countryside at night than at day (about driving in town i'll keep silent cuz it is ricky at any time). Cops like to caught ones without license very late at night (not usually for the justice and order but for the money which is very shame :( )

Both, my driving lessons are 1,5 hours long and i drive from my city to another where i drive around in the city and then go back again...

And i've heard of russion cops taking bribes, but nowadays it seems that not all cops take bribes so it's dangerous to try to bribe nowadays...

It is true about the bribes and yes about their starting to give up (that becase fine for the breaking the law are nowadays is the same as bribe in value. But in spite of fines and bribes russian people still drive awful and cuz of that break the law to often)

Driving lessons are usually take place at countryside in Moscow cuz of a lot of cars on the road 24/7 (traffic jams is usually thing). Some times I think in this town there are more cars than people :D

LOL, yeah, but traffic jams are a hoot when you're on your bike... :D

Yeah, in this case russian drivers often lose their temper very quickly :D

Oh, even greater... :D
And the reason i can never be a cop... If i were and if someone i pull over gets impatient, i'll just take forever to handle the situation, just to nag them... ;006

:D  :D
Practically all russian cops like to attach themselfs to almost all drivers which they have remembered for as you said  "just to nag them" :D

Oh, so i should become a cop in russia... ^_^

You really want to? ;012 But russian don't like their cops at all :rolleyes:

Same here... Cops in holland are seen as traitors to the country, especially the traffic police....
That is one of the (very small) reasons i am joining the airforce, soldiers and airmen are generally appreciated.... And when the general public starts complaining, there usually will be ome sort of calamity where the army is needed and then the people are all happy and grateful again... :D

In my country some of army specializations are open only after university graduating. The airforce units are among them :)

Well, here it also depends on your education, if you have no diploma's you can only apply for soldier/corporal, with high school diplomas you can go for Non commisioned officer, and if you've gone to higher class colleges, you can go for an officers function...
However even though i am applying for a job as a sergeant air traffic controller, i will get a standard 4 month training (boot camp) and after that 1,5 year of ATC education... Plus when i'm finished with all that and i've been appointed a posistion somewhere, i can follow another free education of choice, thus creating chances of getting higher up and becoming an officer...

Russia don't have higher class colleges. What is it? ;018 Cuz after eleven years of school russian school-leaver goes strait to the university))

Scientific based high school and college... basically education in holland is seperated into three basic categorys;
MBO wich is the dutch equivalent of Среднее проÑ,,ессиональное образование (http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%90%C2%A1%C3%91%E2%82%AC%C3%90%C2%B5%C3%90%C2%B4%C3%90%C2%BD%C3%90%C2%B5%C3%90%C2%B5_%C3%90%C2%BF%C3%91%E2%82%AC%C3%90%C2%BE%C3%91,,%C3%90%C2%B5%C3%91%C3%91%C3%90%C2%B8%C3%90%C2%BE%C3%90%C2%BD%C3%90%C2%B0%C3%90%C2%BB%C3%91%C5%92%C3%90%C2%BD%C3%90%C2%BE%C3%90%C2%B5_%C3%90%C2%BE%C3%90%C2%B1%C3%91%E2%82%AC%C3%90%C2%B0%C3%90%C2%B7%C3%90%C2%BE%C3%90%C2%B2%C3%90%C2%B0%C3%90%C2%BD%C3%90%C2%B8%C3%90%C2%B5)
HBO wich is (not translated to Russian or English on Wikipedia yet ^_^) higher than MBO, but still lower than academic college at a university...
And then there are (you've guessed it ^_^) Universities...

As I understand MBO & HBO have both theoretical and practical parts of education, haven't them? (during the education practical part appears only at the last courses at the Universities in Russia)

True there is a half-year long period where you work at a company relevant to your study to experience the practical side of the thing you're studying for, And at the end you will have to write a paper about it...

It is just that thing that russian students are doing then they are at the last courses :)
Ð'ut at the school (high level) and first years at university there aren't any practice only theory(

Russian school I think is like the school in European countries.
1-4 classes is a young school (starting to go to the school after 7 years old)
5-9 classes is a middle school  (the basic theoretical knowledge become more complicated. And also a lot of subjects appears (in some schools there are about 20-25 of them))
9-11 (some times 12) classes is a high school (also studding the same number of subjects and start to prepare for the university exams)

The great minus of russian school is a lot of homework for every subject. For example, when I was there, I spent nearly all day to do it wholly. More over russian study at school (and university too) 6 days a week.

In university students have to study theory professional theory fist (for about 3-4 years) and then they are allowed to start practice

Well, we got swamped in homework too, that is untill i went to college, that year high schools started a homework-free program... (story of my school career, all the schools i went to got neat stuff when i left... :/)

Why is it that Hungarian cities have so miffed-out names?

that's why hungarian is one of the hardest languages. :)

Potomac Highlands of West Virginia, online a lot because of sleep deprivation

I'm living in a major Boston suburb.

(called New Hampshire)

I live in a damn village, populated by old people, students and lots of sheep, on the northern tip of an island, populated to 66% by LOTS AND LOTS AND MORE SHEEP. And the only reason it's even on the map, is because it's docking place for the ferry to ANOTHER island, with SO MUCH SHEEP IT'S CALLED SHEEP ISLAND.

Seriously, I want to kill something cute and cuddly and hang its innards over someone's bed and hear them scream in horror when they wake up, BEFORE I proceed to scribble all over them with the dead bloody damn creature's blood and feed them its brains ON A STICK.
>:U

well. at least you have a ferry to GO SOMEWHERE.

new hampshire is so boring (where i live). thankfully i live close enough to the MA border than i can get away once in awhile

but those moments don't come soon enough. seriously, my town is boring as F*** and the only places where there's somethng to do are one town over. do i have transport? no, i don't. :\

thankfully, i go to school i that one town over, and have spent so much time there that i consider it my hometown. ^^

I live just outside the Losers of the World Series otherwise known as Philadelphia. At least we still have the Liberty Bell...

Ok i just gotta say wow. I'm impressed with that one *applause*

Atleast you don't have to worry about tourists O.O. they come in swarms to Duluth, MN during a couple of seasons and there is no place to escape  T-T

Tourists? Oh, no no no no no. Summertime, the damn tourists increase the island's total population from ~50000 to about 200000 - and up here it's so fuckassedly popular it's not even funny. Madness? THIS IS GOTLAND

it would be nice to be able to catagorize everyone by country or region. :3 that way, we could know who's in the area, so we's can sync up. :3

Only if I can be in outer space... woo hoo.

å±...と here :3
time is gmt+9 so on usually around 6:30 or 19:30ã€,
checking sometimes at 20:00ã€, ^^

so you gonna tell us what area you in? hokkaido, honshu, kyushu, shikoku, or somethin else?

and if you're from the area, why are you on a foriegn site? why not just go to futaba?

Quote from: "L33t 4g3nt"Hey, you guys! Where do you guys live? And what time do you usually log on to the forums/website?

Me:

Southern California, US

Whenever I'm at home and not preoccupied w/ something else.

at in the evening and in the early morning, usually...

I currently live in Okinawa, Japan, although at this very moment I am TDY to Alaska.

Generally, I'll post and log on at various random points in the year, go silent, and maybe have a burst at another random point.  Depends on how involved I get into a forum community.

mmm. i know that one. it takes awhile for me to get into the routine of something, otherwise i just forget about it. i had to remind myself to log on here at first.

good to have you people, but i reiterate:

why not log onto futaba?

I'm in holland (yay, legal weed)
I usually log in around 9 AM (GMT+1) (first class is boring) or after 5 PM

xD

that's interesting.

i'd still like a survey to see where our members are from. i'm from east coast US, btw.

Now, I'm in East Virginia!  Hooray tobacco, ham, and a governor whom we have to call 'his excellency'.

Seriously? What century is he from >_>

-w- welcome to politics.

at least you don't have the fabled texas governor, Governor Hogg. xD

Its in the state constitution; Virginia, Georgia, and Massachusetts governors are always addressed as His/her Excellency rather then His/Her Honor.

But we have had a kooky assemblage of other personalities.  Not as many as Texas of course.....

I live in Florida USA

I live in the United Kingdom, England.

I usually log on when I'm free, in which this being the first time in ages.

like i said. we should find a way to put a poll asking people where they are from. i can't tell where the majority of our users are from (europe, i think?)

I beg to differ (or at least, most ACTIVE members are american from what I can see).

Hi, Im from Malaysia.
My time here is GMT+8, and most of the time online at night after work. But working time also online sometimes.

Sweden, GMT + 1 ^^

Håll i dig, pojkvasker, här är det jag som bestämmer.

med tanke på temperaturen du hade så bör du befinna dig ett rejält hopp upp i norrland, inte sant?

Looks like nejin find fellow brother in arms.
I live at GMT+7
Usually log in at either 7 AM, 1 PM, but usually around 9 or 10 PM

@Nejin: Västmanland faktiskt ^^ Mälardalen varierar dock starkt i temperatur, ifall det är 6-7 minus här så kan det vara 10 grader kallare ett par mil norrut.

GMT+1, Officially living in Zwolle, but during the week i can be found on an airbase in the south of holland where i am currently attending a NCO-course, after that, back to my regular base in central holland.

Representing ... Ontario, Canada.
Sadly the snow won't go away.

Could you send us some plz? kthnxbai.

Ours is hanging around quite persistently too, as it is...meters and meters. -w-;

We got a flooding at my place :3 All the snow is melting :D

we're lucky enough to have dissapearing snow.

Not so much here...still shitloads around. Still, it seems like it will be rising celsiuses soon, so we'll see about that flooding... -w-;

I'm in Illinois...very close to Wisconsin...but that's all I can say~

chicago? (LULZ 95-TAN)

well, it's actually kinda cool. the grass hasn't really grown back yet, so it looks like an earth or wood element field from the .hack quartet. xD

i love it. it's a wasteland noon field brought to life. ^^

The town where my college is located, seems to glow at night for some reason.  There really isn't any heavy industry that operates at night, and the town itself isn't that big, but nonetheless it does.

the sky at night does that here. it's cause of the mall.

so the yard flooded today cause of all the rain and wind....

Are there nearby toxic waste dumps?

Once, on the Cape, we had a bright night. Something to do with the low cloud cover and nearby town, could've read a newspaper outside at 2am by the light of the sky. I remember another one, happened in Destin, Florida...

Everything's soggy and wet and disgusting here. FANKS GLOWBALL WARMING.

it was misty, cold and windy this morning. and i walk up the street to get to my bus stop.

and my bus was late. >___<;

we had the aurora borealis show up once here, it was almost as bright as daylight, only hot pink. :\

lol, now i'm picturing aurora-sama's face in the sky....xD

Correction: The Aurora Borealis does not show up below the polar circle. Aside from Alaska, the US is far out.

Which makes me wonder, what the hell makes a hot pink glowlight paint across the sky...? Hope that guy's not fooling around again -_-;

hmmmm.....there IS a nuclear plant not too far from here....


nice weather recently :]

Yay atomic energy!

We went from nice to foggy but bright.

here it's like summer. the cats won't come inside.

i hate nuclear power. >:[

Wrong. I saw the Aurora Borelis in NH, November 2004. It was maybe 2 am, my dad put the dog outside when he saw the lights in the sky and woke up the entire family. We drove to the top of a nearby hill and sat in a clearing and watched it for a hour or so-- until it disappeared.

I'd describe it as pulsating waves of light, sheets that moved in a rough north to south pattern-- not quite the organized banners of light that you see in most pictures, but very bright and clear all the same. Mostly green and blue, but there was a bit of yellow and orange as well.

Ah. My bad. Upon research it's just the southern one that only ever occurs on Antarctica...ah, ah. Weird phenomenons. -.-

Well, it's fine as long as there's no fooling around going on, I suppose...

HAH. BRIGHT PINK SKY IS POSSIBLE W/O NUCLEAR INTERFERENCE.

Southeastern New Hampshire, USA. Although I visit Boston enough that I could probably say that I live there.

thor is made of badass win. ^^ on the team of gods i worship, he's on there. ^^ (along with luna, posideon, and shiva.)

my ex worshiped norse gods. i made him a mjollnir pendant in jewelry for christmas. but he dumped me (on christmas) before i could give it to him.

so i sent it with a "burn in hell" note in the mail.

but he worshiped odin and loki. i prefer thor to be honest. freja is nice too. ^^

That's burn in Hel for him, if that's the case...honestly, I wouldn't envy those under the mercy of THAT lass, mind you. Not every man slain becomes an Einherjar, so to speak...

Worshiping Loke is just asking for severe trouble to begin with. Staying out of his way would be a good thing to do, if that's any indication of his nature - and by what's been seen, it sure seems that way...guh. -.-

And yeah. Cappy capped in and out, it seemed. Haven't been seen in some two months or so now, eh?

Personally I prefer Larentina or Nyx for my worshiping needs.

I live in Rockingham County too, but in Virginia!  Whenever I tried to look something up from the school system, New Hampshire always came up first!

xDDDDDDD

wow. that truely IS weird. well

GUIZE THIS IS THE AWESOME COINCIDENCE OF THE YEAR!-- Evangeline Bea Macintosh or "Eve", my beloved iMac, was purchased at the Rockingham Park Mall Apple Store (http://www.apple.com/retail/rockinghampark/")! (Haha, Choco, maybe you can accompany me to a one-on-one training session over at the Apple store... if I ever get around to using it, that is to say. ><)

Oh yeah, and Choco just about guessed my town in some... other... thread. She was very, very close, but not quite on the mark. Still, it's close enough to make me consider going into hiding. xD

Its hot, and now I have to go play church league softball tonight.  Though the field area does seem to have it's own strange weather pattern.

Church league? Wait, what did I miss here?

it's cooler than yesterday, thank FUCK. maybe i'll be able to have a blanket on when i sleep tonight.....

and hopefully i won't sleep through the alarm like this morning >____<

still on the east coast, and not going anywhere, except further down the coast for periods of time.

hmm, it has been hot and sticky lately. of course, i keep my door closed, so that's probably why. :\

Are you counting Zen in the Philippines?

she probably is. let's see, there's you (kgm), zen, vae (since vae never told us if it was western or eastern russia), and one or two other people, i can't remember their users right now.

after that, i'd say that roughly 50% of ACTIVE users are from north american continent (with 35 % coming from europe, 15% from aisa, and 5% being other, including our resident aussie, sora.)

this is nothing but guestimation. please don't flame me. ;.;

YAY MOAR NEJ!! *SUPERPOWERBONECRUSHINGHUGGLE*

hmm, you should come to otacon with us next year. happens in summertime so you won't have to miss any school, is the biggest con in this country, and, as my bro puts it, it's one of the few "proper cons" left. (booze and hookups and shennagians oh my!)

we'll be happy to have you, again. ^^ and what pie do you prefer for the banquet, plum, apple, or pie flavour?

CLOUDBERRY AND NOTHING ELSE

but the cloudberries, they don't grow around here, master. ;___;

I have a box of them in the freezer...THEY TASTE LIKE SOLID GOLD, BRO

I KNOW BRO, (i still haven't finished those chocolates you gave me. should find and eat....)

Went through another week in the greater Beckley, WV area.  With fantastic towns like Danese (Denise), Green Sulpher Springs, Hico, Fayetteville, Oak Hill, Beckley, Meadow Bridge, Pax, Thurmond, Glen Jean, Layland, Lookout, Nutall, Landisburg, Minden, Clifftop, Edmond, Red Star, Whipple, and Scarbro who needs internet?

I don't have any real goth-like clothes and I don't want to step within 30 meters of a hot topic. Can I just wear black jeans and a black t-shirt with some crappy logo on it?

and don't be sad stew. you have lick creek, and next year you can come with us to otacon as 3.1. :3 we can has os-tan skit. :3

Naked Creek's just about five minutes away too.  We'll see, I do like Baltimore.

and OS-tan. :3

Quote from: "Chocofreak13"and OS-tan. :3

Indeed.
On a semi-related note, if I have the funds, I may attend otakon next year. Unsure.

:3 you'll go with us. now then, did you post a pic in the member pic thread? cause so far the list goes
me, you, Red-Machine(?), bella, Nejin, stew, Cockleshell(?) and my friend/brother, who will be driving.

and as for OS-tans, Bella could make a passable 95 if she grows out her hair, i've convinced stew to go as 3.1-kun, trying to convince red to go as 98-kun, nej is vista, i'm 2k, and friend/bro will probably be norton.

everyone esle is undecided. i also have an XP-kun cosplay lying around, though it is a tad small.

we still need:
98SE
XP (any version)
7
ME

I need a better cosplay, though. -_- Might as well go as something entirely else, when I think about it...or revamp the costume seriously.

Also; separate thread for this, or will it die if we try seriously?

i was considering making one, so that everyone has ample time to plan. the only thing is, there might be TOO much time to plan this...i'm afraid the thread will die given that this even is roughly a whole year away.

i'll go make a thread anyway. we can always necropost it back if it dies.

...Are there any *-tans which are male besides Norton?
Also, if I go to Otabutt 2011, I would likely be going with COTU/My group of friends. Considering that they tend to pack themselves into hotel rooms, there would have to be monetary savings to convince me otherwise. -3-

Also, what manner of vehicle do you guys have for transport? I would be willing to lend my vehicle in transportation assistance if I go with you guys, it's just that it needs to be filled with a minimum of 89 octane fuel. I fill it with 93. >.>

Here's a picture if anyone is curious/cares.

SHINY~~

for pretty much every -tan there is a kun.

we'd probably split a hotel room. :\

Or depending on the amount of us, a few of them...

nah. we only got, what, 10? we'll fit. i claim the tub. >:3

I call a phonebook, towel, and one bedspread.

It's not like I'll be sleeping anyway, with all you people around...I'm just gonna park myself in some corner and listen to LAMBDA's little humming noises all night. ;_;

With a shotgun in your lap?

I don't need firearms, you know. -w-

No but they make a statement, of course demon powers are far more of a statement.  Imagine they'd mess the room up something fierce though.

now, now. it's ok. we'll find you some random con girl to cuddle. that'll make everything alright. :3

QuoteImagine they'd mess the room up something fierce though.

It gets even more interesting when you mess with people's heads, though... >:3

therein lies the fun. :3

svx can has random con girl to cuddle?  :(

svx will write programs for her.  To express his happiness.  Or maybe svx will make a circuit diagram.  Whichever of those is more appropriate.  If svx isn't... drunk...

*spilled some*

if you come to con and dress up as a -kun. :3

For random con girl cuddles?  Ehhh...  Yes.  Yes, I'd be willing to do that.  For con girl cuddles. Mmmm.

great! :3

That's why we're all going.

Oh, that's what YOU think... >:3

then what ARE your motives....?

besides the random skit of doom, con shennagians, swag and porn folder distribution, i mean. :3

btw, should we put this site's address on the folders this time around? :\

That's advisable, I agree.

And I'm mostly coming to WASTE A SHITLOAD OF MONEHS ON AIR TICKETS _W_

AND CON SHENNAGIANS! (cause one year they did get backers and they "got back" stuff from the dealer room)

Is there going to be a Country/State -tan insurgence in the future?

Bwahaha, Virginia-tan would crush all of your pitiful states under her boots!  (On the east coast.  Except maybe PA-tan)

NH-tan would kick all their asses, but she's too busy being the drunkest 'tan in the union.

NH-tan? nooooo. more like one of the most stuffy conservative states in the union. >___>;;
she'd be too worried about getting her argyle sweater wrinkled. *facepalm*

on the other hand, the southie part of Mass-tan would pwn everyone. maybe even CHUCK NORRIS. noo, not chuck norris, he owns everyone....

PA-TAN IS GOING TO DESTROY YOU ALL WITH OUR GORILLA TACTICS FOR HUNTING AND OUR STEEL MILLS AND OIL AND BLAH BLAH BLAH.

I think you guys can figure out where I'm from now. Pittsburgh is to be exact. But really, Virginia-tan will be screaming for her southern sisters when PA-tan gets in there!

this is funny, cause when i said "automatic tan" about florida, i wasn't talking about -tans, i was talking about automatic SUN TAN. xD

...what was this thread about again? xP

Currently: The Earth, Europe, Finland, Tampere, apartment in the forest nearby the city center, next to my roommate, on a chair at her computer.

Nova Hantonia, Bostonia, Massaciusseta, Novum Anglia, CFA  (you DIDN'T KNOW? The entire state of New Hampshire is a SUBURB of Boston? Nor that many place names can be translated to Latin? Moar wikiwalking is in order for all of you. =w=)

Your idea of New Hampshire-tan is so different from mine, Kari, due to my upbringing in the White Mountains. I imagine her as more-or-less San's (Mononoke Hime) long-lost sister; a wild-but-wise forest-dweller who can commune with the animals and live of the land - albeit with a gun over one shoulder and dressed in a mix of of militia-esque clothing (spanning the last 300 years mind you). She can be loosely described as pagan in her beliefs (believing in a number of nature-spirits) and libertarian as far as political affiliation goes. She hates her hippie-neighbor Vermont, is ambivalent to Maine-tan, likes Rhody-chan and has a love-hate relationship with Massachusetts - who's enamored over NH-tan and enjoys, erm, romancing her. Connecticut-chan is dead to her, if she ever acknowledged her existence... ^^;;;

you and i live in different worlds, bells. i think i'd love new hampshire if i lived where you lived.

as of right now, i hate this state (not completely, but i harbor deep resentment toward it due to where i've lived all my life). i plan on living in the city, but if by come chance i don't end up there, i think i'd like to live in Laconia. :3

the man i loved and lost called Laconia his hometown.

Different worlds? Try UNIVERSES.

I love this state, but I still want to live in Boston sometime so I can be... closer to Boston. The people there are a source of *delicious and useful* life-force, which is kind of lacking up here in the woods. :\

(You DIDN'T KNOW I'm a psychic energy-vampire? FOR SHAME!)

Plus, I don't want to spend my entire student career(? >>) going to college in our sad little town. ಢ_____ಡ

sis in concert? wut nao?

Musical education yanows? Same as I did for 9 years?

aaah. damn, your family has an emphasis on music. or was the 9 years voluntary? :\

Well, it was voluntary, as we both did the choices to make the school transfers ourselves...but there's a lot of music in the family, that's very true.

i can tell. 9 years.... @__@

4th grade elementary to Highschool graduation. Yes. And we where in choirs and such before that. And after. And during. So yeah...

my god. and this was entirely by choice?

Well, aside from the earliest years where it was mostly being directed in the direction to walk by parents, yes. Though in highschool it was more of a "DAMNIT, CAN'T NOT HAVE SHITLOADS OF MUSIC IN SCHOOL, MUST GO ON." for both me and sis. It's a TAD addictive. _W_

I once hit a girl with a clarinet case.  Not really the musical sort....

Bet you can't find where that is

lol, all that brings to mind is violent fights between debutantes and hippies xD

salem, NH. bet YOU can't find where THAT is >:3

@Choco: I think I know where that is. That's where the Salem Witch Trials took place eons ago, right?
I'm probably wrong, but it's worth a guess

What adds to the weirdness of my hometown is how the name is pronounced; most would assume it's like the Middle Eastern country (Pal-UH-stein), but it's really more like how Fredric Frankenstein, from Young Frankenstein, pronounces his last name (PAL-es-STEEN). I couldn't make this shit up even if I tried...

heh. that's kinda funny.

and no, though alot of people confuse us with salem, ma. salem was a popular name back in the day (and still is), as a result there's alot of places called salem (including the capital of oregon). :3

Palestine: Wait, isn't that the hometown of John Reagan?  Don't ask how I know that.....

@stew: Yeah. In fact, there's a park named after him

you mean the oregon one, right? cause the only big parks in our town are named after landmarks or not after anything. :\

I'm not sure if there is one in Oregon, but the main park in my hometown is Reagan Park; getting it's name from John Reagan (In fact, there's a statue of him in the park; which I'll probably take a picture of sometime and post it). There is a 2nd park in town; the Dogwood Trails, which is the one I prefer now (It's a little more out of the way, but it's quieter and prettier; especially if you go in early spring. If the weather is just right, it's a nice place to have a picnic or read a book)

Unless you where referring to something else when talking about Oregon; in which case disregard the first 9 words of this post

aaaah. that would make alot more sense. :\

Today's the last day I'm staying in the apartment I've lived in for nearly two years with Remilia. Tomorrow will be her move to another apartment, and after I'll stay two nights at her place before going over to my parents' place for the last remaining days in Finland. ^^

depends if you are high enough... here doesn't snow, but in the near magical town of Real de Catorce snow falls once or twice every winter...

They have snow down in a place in Mexico that often? I'm in a small Texas town about 2 hours from Dallas, and I'm lucky to get a decent snowfall once every 10 years.

It must be nice :3

Yes, we are near Both US and the Gulf (In fact I even hitched a ride to Matamoros... nice place, but too humid for me... and my Mom travels twice a month to McAllen Tx.)

cool. makes me wish i was in closer proximity to canada, so i could go there more often. (we're about 5 hours directly from the border. longer if we take the route we take to see our relatives, as it goes up through maine to a higher point on the border.)

it's 'cause the altitude.... It just doesn't let the rain fall naturally, making it either snow or "Aguanieve"...

what's that? a weather phenomenon unique to the area?

Rain (water, agua) and snow (nieve) mixed. Not that unique.

I live in Belarus so yeah

I live in San Juan, PR, US.

I'm still in some weird dump in the middle of nowhere; like 2 hours southeast of Dallas, TX.

illinois

I'm from a country in Asia, lol. I want to move to somewhere else in the USA or the UK though, so can anyone recommend me what place should I move into in those 2 countries?

No idea about the UK. But in the US I'd avoid California and New York City unless your jobs wants you there.
The midwest Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri are pretty good in the suburb by their capitals.

this is EXTREMELY late to the party, but parts of New England are decent, despite the cold. we have a fairly high cost of living compared to the rest of the country, but some of the smaller cities are doable, though our crime rate has gone up a smidge. but we're a fairly diverse population up here (especially Massachusetts, helps that it's the most populated), and overall lean liberal, which can help with adjusting since people tend to be a tiny bit more accepting. i have no experience with that, but my dad does (he immigrated from Europe in the 80's). someone in the south literally said after he said where he was from "That's wher all dem kangaroos er from, riiight?". he just kinda smiled and nodded.

as indicated by that, i'm from the Northeast US, where the cost of living is high and my state's wages are low! historic houses, beautiful scenery, rising drug problem, lack of affordable housing....

tbh i still love it here, despite itself. it's also nice that we don't have very much in the way of natural disasters here (blizzards, but otherwise the worst things in the region lately have been a drought due to climate change and an out-of-left-field tornado in Mass a few years ago). it can be a bit cold for people, though, so it's not for everyone. :0

I kinda wanna leave Florida, but everywhere else is expensive, cold, and/or deep red. :( I saw a mansion in West by god Virginia on a Facebook friend's wall, where it was indicated that she'd totally buy it and start a polycule group house if she had the money, but again, West Virginia. :v

unless they moved, two of our own live in WV. i'm sure they'd agree on some level that it's kinda gross (like, super republican, kinda religious, etc), but the scenery is supposed to be gorgeous, there's a lot of cool history there, and the cost of living is lower. plus, the climate's kinda moderate, i think? (some of their winters can be tough, depending on how far into the mountains you are.) i think the biggest things you'd need to worry about there (besides what's already mentioned) would be things like water quality due to coal mine pollution, as well as access to state services and the potential for poverty. but poverty's a concern everywhere. :0

i'm super biased, ofc, but i think you'd mostly like it here (the Northeast). you get used to the cold, and if you are, sweaters are a thing. i actually prefer that, since i can always put on another sweater--i can't remove my skin. ><;

my loyalties to here are for many reasons, though. despite our troubles, i'd be loathe to leave my family behind. (even after death. i try and visit the family grave a few times a year.)

My family, myself included, hates cold; that's why we moved to Florida. X3

ah, fair enough. i don't like it either, but the other aspects of New England make up for it for me. i also loooooove oversized sweaters. xD;
