What do you think are your biggest accomplishments so far this year? Mine have all happened within the last month or so...

I got back into the single life when I told my money sucking somewhat abusive girlfriend to go to hell!

I was the escort for Miss Pennsylvania at the County Fair this year when she came to visit the local pageant (and she goosed me!)

While working my mascot job (also at the fair) I was getting so much attention that "The Big Bad Daddy" himself asked me to leave the stage area.

Landed myself a full time DJ job working for the variety radio station, at nights.

So what big accomplishments have you made this year so far?

Mine has never overheated, and its worth the monthly fees to play online. The fees pay for a moderated and constantly updated online service; much less cheating than you see on PC and PS3.

Live the dream?

I took a chance on love and asked GoG to marry me.

Live the dream?

''-and hey,you buddy?

-You're Church!
-friends just water down the experience!live the dream,buddy!''

Church,Red Vs. Blue

Okay coming from you, I actually believe that... wickedness Intangelon!

Did you try Pikes Peak yet? I hear it has the best view in the whole nation!

We'll see.

[points for the reference]

Did you try Pikes Peak yet? I hear it has the best view in the whole nation!

It is a legitimate Fourteener, and therefore on the list of 56, but it seems kinda cheap to bag a peak you could easily drive. It still counts, though. I haven't done that one, though. I'm still a n00b.

"They took the BAR! They took the WHOLE FUCKING BAR!!"


[points for the reference]

Fortunatly for us all it wasn't Neo's BAR

a year is a long time, here is this month-ish

-I changed a diaper (worst thing...ever)

-I've emptied an old ladies bodily waste bag (double worst thing...ever)

-I drank quite a bit even though I'm broke

-government records now have my name listed as Tinkerbell (this is actually rather easy to do if you know a police officer and have requested the file)

-I've wasted today on the Internet whilst other people did assign...wait a minuet the year is over...THAT BITCH!

today,i couldn't play for a while,because it was too hot

take it back

take it back

why?

Okay coming from you, I actually believe that... wickedness Intangelon!

If by "wickedness" you're referring to my blisters, soreness and generally creaky aging frame that wonders aloud what the hell I'm doing in mountain goat living rooms when they never come to mine (at least, not when I'm home, as far as I know).... I've got peak fever now, though, and I don't see it abating anytime soon. And this from an avowed acrophobic. I actually can't count the first 14er I tried, Mt. Quandary -- I chickened out crossing the saddle ridge to the summit. As it was, I almost lost my nerve on Bierstadt, and it was lightning that chased me off Yale after summiting (needed new pants after that, and not from soiling, but from using "five points of contact" to get down the slope as fast as I could...I speed-crabwalked, basically).

Regardless, thanks. I have never felt so alive.

Animal House, thanks ya.

Yeah, and pretty much the scenario I envisioned.

why?

because your console is broken? thus needing repair/refund/replacement?

no,i just let it cool down,then i can play it

Regardless, thanks. I have never felt so alive.

And that's what it's about, isn't it? However you get that high, speeding like a maniac through traffic on a bicycle (mwah), scaling peaks, or some other third thing...:D

Several Delta Tau Chi points for you!

"Your Delta Tau Chi name is...Flounder."

"Why?"

"*burps*WHY NOT?!?"

Oh, I gotta make this party.

not the Browning Automatic Rifle!

Exactly. I mean, I always feel like starting the hike is a kind of chore, but when I'm halfway up, I get psyched and never regret starting up, no matter how early I had to get up or how much preparation was involved or how sore I feel afterward.

Now if I could only feel that way about lesson plans....

Muahahahah (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BplarHcB0Es).

Yeah, well it'll be pretty epic. Not your average 'dress em up, bore them to tears, possibly make it up with booze later'.

*facepalm* Guh.

Or research papers. Yeah.

I haven't found 'my thing' yet in the physically draining department...I mean other than extremely rough sex.

Sweet, I'll dress up as a 7 foot tall frog!

I move into my apartment tomorrow, sadly I'll be living by myself.

Now, plop down in front of your computer as you watch me slowly go insane! :D

Yea, dealing with isolationism hasn't been my strong point.

I'm not really sure.

Probably because you can't go into exciting detail in mixed company.

Me. GoG. Teeth, nails, open palms, some blood. Bruises all over my body, the last of which is finally just fading. Noises that probably scared my neighbours. More details would have to be sought via TG :D

I, uh, graduated from high school.........

That must have been quite a ride, good scenery and all. How long did it take you?

And who is Toby Keith?

no idea

And who is Toby Keith?

An opportunistic redneck Bushevik country musician, most notable for taking visible shots at The Dixie Chicks with shit like the Saddam's Angels poster following the whole "Ashamed that Dubya is from our country" brouhaha.

I had multiple nervous breakdowns! Hooray!

3 Weeks, I stuck to back roads and took detours, which takes longer but makes for a nicer trip.

My biggest accomplishment was getting a management position at the hotel I work for. I waited so many years for that.

Not an accomplishment I did, but my dad did: Graduated from his online college today! I'm so proud. *tear*

I re-tiled my kitchen, laid carpet in my dining room, painted my dining room and living room and fixed my alternator.

Also, I totally got rocket speed on brain age today! :p

Yes for sure, I enjoy cycling too, maybe it is a route I should do one day.

Get a fan/cooling pad for it?

Trust me, it ain't sad to have your own place. It's liberating. It's fanflippingtastic and you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Your place, your tastes, your rules, your schedule, your food, your visitors, and no one to say shit about any of it.

Count on it!

You both have no idea how happy this little dialogue makes me.

Congratulations!

Get a fan/cooling pad for it?

Ah, yes, the Microsoft solution: pay up. I wonder when they'll ship something that's complete and functions well without patches, add-ons or additional equipment. :(

And who is Toby Keith?

An American Country Western Singer... for some reason people actually like him.

You're going to have to share your secret with us. :p

You're going to have to share your secret with us. :p

I'm outgoing, polite, playful, and like to flirt. None of it was serious and we had fun.

What are you, some kind of DIY Cyborg?!

I sang in a group conducted by Peter Philips, though the significance of this will only be understood by a small number of people.

*is impressed!*

I completed my first year if university! Hooray! And only 2 weeks until I move into my new place. Can't wait.

He was, in fact, running the choral course it was part of. And he complemented me on my piano playing at another point in the week; slightly odd, but perhaps he'd have enough talk of Spanish Renaissance vocal music for the day.

Completely understandable.

Completely understandable.

Yeah, lovely though immersing oneself in a single field of music for a week is, I needed a slight break on the piano in a spare few minutes - Brahms and Liszt did the trick, and I suppose others who heard it enjoyed the change as well.
