Topicless thread

@Paul: Good luck! I imagine paramedic training is quite stressful and a lot of work, but I'm sure the rewards are worth the difficulties.

@Nej: Bronies continue to scare me sometimes.... 'u'

And then there was that one time Trixie became a communist, overthrew the monarchists in Ponyville for like a day, and then the Army crushed them when the people failed to rise in support.

I'm with Bella; sometimes, bronies do scare me ^^;;;

So, since I can't think of anywhere else to put this, here is a fun fact about Goldeneye, that I noticed while watching:

During one scene toward the end of the movie, you can see the OS/2 Warp 3.0 splash screen on one of the computer monitors. This is one of those "nerdy bonuses", as I call it; intended as a product placement back in the day, but now it's the type of thing only someone with an interest in obscure OSes would catch. This discovery does raise the OS-tan related question of "does OS/2-tan like James Bond films?"

This oughta go in the Theories thread - and it's really interesting, for once. Nice find!

[Nichi]

Thanks. I'll post about it over there ^^

So, today is pretty good so far. Bought a "teach yourself C++" book at a garage sale (An unopened set with a disc containing a C++ compiler *w*), as well as a copy of Linux for Dummies (Bought it mostly for a reference when using the terminal in Fedora or Mint, but it does have a disc of RedHat 5.2 xD) and a really old Twilight Zone comic book (Circa '78).

Also, visited with grandma for a while; making our plans for thanksgiving. I'm likely going to make a pie :3

Sure you don't mean...
A SPY?

A what now?  All I see is some sweet night vision goggles.

Ugh, I've got an Integrated Science exam today.  At least tomorrow's advising day so there's a gap between it and my White Collar Crime one, American Politics got cancelled altogether.

Hope it went well :[

So, my journey to find a replacement copy of Super Mario Galaxy continues on; as the copy I bought today is even more torn up than the copy I was trying to replace, and it was the only copy in stock >_<

It's been really quiet here lately.... is Kari busy with school?

I just wrote up my college essay, barely skimming the word limit of 500 words and I feel that I did a pretty good job with it and played my best topic.

If I could get some feed back on this, it would be wonderful!

It comes out at 2 pages because google likes to stretch out documents for some reason, in word its just one full page.

Edit: Just noticed some minor errors, don't worry about pointing them out at the moment because I've caught most of them it seems.

@Stew: I think she wanted some time away from OSC? At any rate I miss her, the forum just isn't the same without her around. :/

@Kraus: That was touching and I feel honored you'd share it with us. I'm glad you were able to make it through that difficult time in your life and that your mom has fully recovered!

We all need breaks from things. Gotta step back and come back in fresh without (or with less) baggage.

Also, why I'm posting here:

True, although it just doesn't feel right without her around :[
@Sleepy: Nice link. I got a few LOLs from that

On the subject of random links, an article with couples swapping clothes. If I had a girlfriend, I'd totally do this with her

[Bella]

@Sleepy: I know what you mean, but she's never been away this long before ... :\

That's an awesome tumblr, I'm following them now.

@Pent: Ooh, I've seen some of those pictures before. It's pretty cool and kind of interesting to see how often men's clothing can pass as unisex, while the women's outfits tend to look markedly ... female when put on their male partners. (Though I wonder if this is only due to the fact that so many of the women are wearing skirts/dresses/other articles of clothing deemed feminine by society).

As for clothing swapping with my SO .... hmm, he'd probably look alright in sweaters and scarfs. Better than I'd look in teeshirts and jeans... ^^;

[stewartsage]

You say that like I don't already have my own sweaters and scarf.
