I'm not either, actually don't enjoy traveling. Seeing the entire country (many landscapes), getting to see Pentium and going to Apple headquarters is worth it all together though.

Also, one thing I don't find beautiful is dense populations. Architecture can be beautiful, but when the houses are 5 feet away or the population so ridiculous you can't walk around, it just completely ruins it for me and I consider it ugly.

@Bella: I agree. I'm more into more green places; trees & such, yo
Which is why you should come to East Texas at least once, even if it's only to see me. It's like a different world compared to the area of the state you mentioned going to ages ago :3

@Kriz: I enjoy travel, but I don't consider myself a tourist; I personally prefer the term adventurer :3
Although, generally when I travel, I usually have some goal in mind; I mean, I wouldn't waste my time on a big ball of twine unless I'm going to be in that area for something else (Like if I was spending a week with a friend who lives in that area)

In other news, an Amiga power supply is on the way. Once it arrives, I can finally test out the ones I have in storage
I also have a brand new copy of .hack//Outbreak, for PS2, coming in the mail next week, for anybody who might be interested to know

We're going straight through Dallas on the way home.
You'd have to tell us a more exact location of course though, since I forget what particular city you were in.  :P

Nichi

@Kriz: Ah. I'll PM you the details later today :3

So, eBay suggests I buy a Commodore 64 floppy drive and the collector's edition of Fallout: New Vegas as items that would go with my Amiga power supply ^_^;
I think if Fallout was on Amiga, Pit would own it

Chocofreak13

ebay suggests fallout after you bought .hack? PLEASE BITCHES, FALLOUT CANNOT COMPARE TO THE OPUS THAT IS DOT HACK.

@kriz: eh, i agree. better to have a reason for going outside of the landscape. unless you were going to yellowstone or something, i could see that as a vacation destination.

as for dense populations, it depends on the context. some cities are beautiful, even some projects can be centres of community and activity. most of the time, though, they're just cramped and in disrepair. >>;;

I shouldn't comment 'cause I don't game, but Fallout is one of a handful of games that makes me wish I actually did play. (Which is kind of saying something, because usually I hear people talk about games and my eyes glaze over in a mix of confusion and boredom before I go back to drawing or whatever it is I do to keep myself occupied.)

In regards to traveling .... I'm mostly interested in checking out new cultures, even in the US ... its kind of tough finding culture in a place with few people, thus my attraction to cities n' stuff.


Nichi

@Kari: That copy of .hack was bought on Amazon, for the record ^_^;
Still funny how it suggests a game from a series Pit likes, because I bought a power supply for a computer she likes LOL

@Bella: The Fallout games are pretty good :3

Chocofreak13

@pent: fair enough. >>;;

@bella: my devotion to the .hack games is like a feverish devotion to a cult. the animation is beautiful, the soundtrack near-breathtaking, the story is unique, the voices are perfect, and the synchronization with the .hack//SIGN series is done extremely well. it's a favourite of mine for a reason. >>;

i don't feel like celebrating today, guys. at least i get to buy some books i'm missing, but still, it doesn't feel like a very festive day. :\

I actually do have a Swiss Army knife...but it's a basic model; only having knife and bottle opener to it. I want one of the more expensive ones I've seen; that have more features than I'd know what to do with >:3

knife and bottle opener are enough for him:

So, guys, there's a new reason to be afraid of me:

I has can opener that looks like what Secchan has! >:3

Bella

Sounds like I might be getting an Android smartphone soon. Right now we're paying ~$50usd a month for voice service only, and for about $10 more a month I could get a 2gb/month data plan.

On one hand, I'd like to get a new phone, but on the other, I feel like it's a betrayal of my old one. I've had it for over six years and it's never had any major problems. ;^; But at this point I'm paying way too much for a phone that does little beyond sending and receiving calls/texts...

Nichi

Do it, man o_o

Part of me wishes I had an iPhone, because I love my iPod Touch

Chocofreak13

can you keep your old one as a spare? my sister has hinted that i'm getting her iphone when the new model comes out, and while she's going to keep it on the plan for me, i intend to keep my old phone as the main phone. :\
