Shiny new Smiley Town *bling*

UBCS... That's an acronym I hadn't seen for years.

I'd post an answer to your question, but it looks like it wasn't directed to me, so I'll let Ada, Brian and Gavin reply.

*Looks at your sig.* On the contrary, I think most people are too easily displeased. Joy and happiness are too good to be missed, let alone intentionally. But that is, of course, my opinion. It's ok to disagree.

I always used UBoCS for some reason, I just added the 'of' into the acronym, or did everyone do that?

I'm going well, anyway: I was 12 when I joined TPM back in the day, so obviously a lot has changed - I'm 18 now, about to start University and currently working full-time as a labourer (digging holes ... etc). A lot of the old crowd have disappeared from here (as you can see - most of the mods who were here when you were around have mostly left, save for Martin) but we're still going strong really. I'm STILL writing Lisa the Legend though - some things never change.

I stuck with creative writing for my major but i've gotten into reporting and broadcast journalism lately so my job opp will probably come from an internship of mine. after that maybe graduate school, who knows. i'm happy to hear things are going well for you, good luck after college!

oh, it was totally directed at you too! =)

I'm confused... you said you disagree with it, but it actually sounds like you agree. Lewis is saying that joy is too good to be missed. He's just saying that people miss out on true true joy, while chasing after lesser pleasures in life.

A dead smiley town isn't very shiny.

So - how was everone's easter?

Mine was good - we had a big family congregation as usual. The most unexpected thing was Easter Sunday. I hadn't eaten a grain of chocolate during the entirety of Lent, about six weeks. I finally get a heap of chocolate eggs on Sunday morning, and my taste buds go, "Hmm, you know what, this isn't my cup of tea after all."

What's up with that?
