I just had an interesting three-hour-or-so-long conversation with some of our Bostonian neighbours at their New Years Day party; the majority of which was with this Vietnam War vet. Discussed: American history, world politics, Bostonisms, accents, reasons why NY sucks (he's a NYC native too), some old war stories and computer history got a brief mention. Very brief. I was just beginning my "Boston if the birthplace of modern computers" rant when one neighbour cut in with something like, "MY GAD YAH KNOW SO MUCH 'BOUT COMPUTAH HISTORY!" and it just sort of fizzled.

I think I overate, had too much cake, and also, a sip of champagne. @.@; For the New Years toast you see. ><;;

silly bells, getting drunk is for kids! x3

It was disgusting, like carbonated wine... I don't like the taste of wine either, it makes me think sour grape juice. >< (You can tell how mature I am by that last statement, I'm sure).

In my last driving lesson I had to do...... an emergency dismount from the car. Driving-sensei told me I could make it up that snow-covered driveway, but I couldn't, and about halfway up the wheels began spinning and I started to slip backward. Cue emergency breaks, shifting into park, unbuckling and running away from the vehicle.... in fairness, driving-sensei couldn't get the car up the driveway either. <<;

I was able to back out, though.

You sound pretty much like me when it comes to driving, with the exception I have never driven during winter in the first place, not even when taking lessons. Enough headache for me even during the light hours of summer. >.<

I sure don't miss driving. ._.

Just found the perfect description of Windows:

"Microsoft Windows: A 32bit extension and GUI shell to a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a four bit microprocessor and sold by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition."

[Chocofreak13]

i thought you were a windows supporter. :\

and bells, don't feel too bad. a year ago me and my sister crashed/totaled the car by gently sliding into a tree. :[

plus, last time i drove i took a corner at 40 mph. o___o;

Bwahaha, that was epic Red. One nitpick: the 8-bit OS part might work for Windows 9x, but Windows NT is based from a 32-bit (now 64-bit) OS, OpenVMS. d:

Oh I don't feel bad; I was shaken-up for about ten minutes afterward, but I feel I did good under the circumstances. Actually, I'm pretty nervous every time I drive; but so far, driving has felt amazingly second-nature to me. (Like I'm working on instincts, not acquired knowledge.... if that makes any sense....)

[Chocofreak13]

don't worry, that's the same way i learned how to french kiss. :3

[stewartsage]

Just survived two days on the TV Tropes forums.  Created M42A1 Duster-tan.  God damnit.

I certainly will Kari.  Wonder if Doc knows yet?

As per driving: I take posted 25 mph curves at at least 30-35, destroyed old man winter's attempts to prevent me from getting to my (at the time) girlfriend's house, and routinely drive in ice/snow...... I am also very sorry for mentioning any of that since it makes me sound like an insufferable ass.  I hate driving.

The 8-bit part was referring to CP/M 86, which is basically what Microsoft bought and turned into MS-DOS.

A breakdown:

"Microsoft Windows: A 32bit extension and GUI shell"=Windows 9x

"to a 16 bit patch"=MS-DOS

"to an 8 bit operating system"=CP/M 86

"originally coded for a four bit microprocessor"=Intel 4004/4040

"and sold by a two-bit company"=Microsoft

"that can't stand one bit of competition."=Apple.

[Chocofreak13]

once you break it down, it sounds much more epic. xD
