100 post thread!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I thought I was going to get bollocked/fired today, so I wore my best suit.

Nothing's happened so far...my boss emailed me, I replied, he thanked me and even tried to make a little joke, I think. Maybe I've been let off, considering I didn't do anything particularly naughty in the first place. Or perhaps he's biding his time, waiting for me to get complacent.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I just had lunch and read the paper.
It was okay.

I have nothing interesting to report like spidey and emvee.

So...
Can't believe I'm still here.

My team lost yesterday but I watched all of Frisky Dingo which made me laugh.

So I didn't care really.

I've spent the last three days watching sports, playing video games, and stuffing my face full of unhealthy things. Another football season winding to a close.

Before that, I took the GRE. I got a 1350, and I didn't study a lick.

Maybe he likes to make you suffer and wonder when he will strike.

Ive had a meeting today to start a few workshops to train trainers (in other words Ill teach people how to teach) for a big bank here.

I took a prep course my first time and got 1100. Then I studied my butt off every day for a month and got a 1300.

Grrrr.....

I played Yoshis Island 2 for Nintendo DS yesterday.
It's great fun! Not as fun as New Super Mario Bros. but super sweet non the less.
I still have the last case to crack in Phoenix Wright, so I think I'll focus on that tonight.
Yay.

I start my new job tomorrow and am currently sewing little stuffed hearts I've made myself out of a lot of red felt onto some stuffed penguins that I didn't make myself. It's a little gift-thing for the b/f as it's our 6 month anniversary on Sunday.

Admittedly, I'm a little baffled by the whole thing. I've never celebrated a "six-month anniversary" before and therefore it doesn't really seem like a big thing. At first my thinking leaned towards "But it's not even a year" type of thinking, but at the same time, it kinda does seem like a big deal. Most people around me seem to think so anyway. So, I guess it must be.

I am also drinking coffee and waiting for my new 1 gallon fish tanks to heat so I can put my bettas into them.

I had oatmeal for breakfast because I thought it'd be healthy.

It is absolutely disgusting. It looks like vomit.

This MYSTERY have been torturing my mind for YEARS! :eek:

Tell me... what do think is the TRUTH behind this legend, this enigma, called...

OMEGA SUPREME?

On another note, I got my new harddrive today! :D 400gb of awesomeness! Now I can finally install Fear Extraction Point. And I want a DS... yet am too dumb and poor to get one....

From what I can gather, way back when, in the Long Time Ago, Omega Supreme was a supermod ie BF today who ruled over a happy and prosperous transformers board in the early days of the Internet.

At some point, his leadership was lost, and the peoples of the board soon grew agitated with one another.

Some of the people on the board thought that the cartoon totally pwned the comic, and that Jeff Foxworthy was nothing less than a comedic genius. Other people on the board had taste.

Soon these two tribes parted ways, and the party with taste, led by a charming young lad by the name of Best First, soon set up camp in the prosperous land we still inhabit today.



Or at least that's my pieced together and dramatized version.

It also provides a great explanation as to why we're exclusionary to wrestling loving Dreamwave fans.

BF killed Omega and took the leadership.

Well BF only shot the already dead Omega, but he wants to think he actually killed him.

I used to think anniversaries (sans weddings) were silly things to celebrate, especially since I rarely made it to any of significance. But after I met my wife, we celebrated everything we could: engagement anniversary, dating anniversary, first feeling-up anniversary :eh?: ... it's a good excuse to go out and eat, get presents, and get some.

I just lied to the guy from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and told him I never asked for a free subscription. I told the lady on the phone yes, but when she put me on hold I hung up.

I've been absolutely knackered for the last 2 days and getting progressively cranky and frustrated so I listened to my Paul McKenna CD on the tube, relaxed and I'm now back on form =)

I am thinking about changing interwebs provider, and hooking my tv up with some awesome sports channels.

Also: I was out driving with a friend and did a U-turn.
However, a taxi driver tried to overtake me on the "inside" (what the hell is the right word in english?) which led to us almost crashing into each other.
I put my gear in reverse and moved a couple of centimeters, but the taxi driver refused to move his car.
My friend leaned over and did a thumbs up at the taxi driver to indicate that it was okey for him to move his car.
The taxi driver thought my friend gave him the finger :( So he got well mad, waved his arms, gave us the finger, and drove away.

We had a storm last week!
It was crazy insane. A roof flew off a hockey arena.
And some idiot decided it was a good idea to go out on his small boat. He died.

Yup, we're going out for dinner and a movie- something we haven't really done since we started going out. We're both looking forward to it.

Anyone know what's proper, payment-wise? I don't want to make him pay, most of the time I feel weird making him pay for things so we usually pay our own way on anything we do together. Since it's an anniversary for us both, I'm thinking this would be the same way...

I like my new job, I'm running around constantly... I haven't been this tired since I worked in the supermarket and I like it. I'm a Sales Associate in a department store so it means I get a nifty discount, which will come in handy when my b/f and I finally get our apartment if I'm still working there when we get around to it. :)
