Shiny new Smiley Town *bling*

[Gavin Luper]

But what is love?

*techno music starts playing in the background; throws a baseball at the stereo to stop it*

What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more!

God. The memories. Um anyway, I thought the suggestion of a romance page was just a joke, wasn't it? Everyone seems to be discussing it rather seriously.

[Charles Legend]

Well Brian It sounds like you and Shonta had fun...

Yeah I am am a chicken when it comes to relationships with girls, Since I have never gone out on a date, mostly do to I am afraid of being rejected by them...

And Ironicly enough my Parants don't think there are a lot of girls around my age that like Pokémon, they are also always bugging to get my hair cut... but what I want to do is to Dye my hair ether blond or golden brown then get a red trench coat... and then take my Picture and see how well you think I look to Vash...

~Charles Legend

[Goodnight Seadra]

No romance page. Seriously, I already heard a lot of girls in my old high school wanting to know why that celebrity couple broke up, etc. Don't want that to happen here. O.o

However, that's good that you had a good time, mr_pikachu. ^^

[Toxicity]

@Seadra: Heh. Gotta love celebrity drama. Although high school relationship drama is just exactly like that, in my opinion. :x

Really, I just don't like knowing about what goes on in people's lives unless it was, say, something serious. Which was probably why I didn't get along with too many people. Oh well.

But still, at least Brian and Shonta are happy and had a great time. That makes it better. ^^

[Houndoom_Lover]

It was just a joke. ^_^ I'm so glad my raptuous blather caused a disgus...disgusion? 0.0 I'll just be slamming down a SP? there.

Haha ^-^ My ignorance for the world around me only seconds to my love of everything around me.

*pokes around in the theatricly placed sand around me in a lost sort of way*

[Phoenixsong]

*discussion

Yeah. So, I was kind of subconsciously bamboozled into coming here and actually holding a conversation with you people. Damn.

Um, yeah, congrats to Brian and Shonta, then... uh... romance-joke-page-idea is silly... um... what exactly does one do here again?

[Lady Vulpix]

Congratulations, Brian! You've just become a celebrity! I don't know how that has happened, though. I guess one thing has led to another. I wonder if that also applies to Shonta and the other couples.

[Phoenixsong]

Celebrities? I don't know.

Let's see Shonta cut off all her hair and Brian dangle a baby out of a window first. Then we can talk about celebrities.

[classy_cat18]

Nuh-uh. I ain't like that crazy blonde! Shoot, I may have problems but I like my hair!

But the visit was great. My family liked Brian and we're all looking forward to seeing him again.

[mr_pikachu]

Please don't shave your head, Shonta. At least, not until I'm crazy enough to use an infant as a fishing lure. From a balcony.

And yes, the visit was excellent. I'm just glad I didn't have to bring multiple forms of identification to prove to Shonta's parents that I was who I said I was.

(The driver's license was enough. )

[mistysakura]

Yay, I'm happy for you guys. TPM as a dating site, eh? well, I could always hook up with Jay Enjoy your stardom.

[darktyranitar]

Oh, so you went over to meet her family, eh Brian? Responsible, I'd say (I mean, most of the date I know of usually doesn't involve meeting the parents).

Good to see that you guys are having a good time. And hehe, celebrity.

[Toxicity]

Well, the Internet Dream is basically becoming famous, right?

But that's pretty awesome that Brian got to meet the family. I bet it must've been a fun experience. ^^

So, new discussion to make things active, everybody? I was thinking that since it's October (or almost, in America), we're fairly close to the year's end. Does anybody have any set plans for the rest of the year, and the holidays you're choosing to celebrate? (given the known cultural/religious differences)

As for me, I'm not really sure as of right now. Thanksgiving and Christmas are more than likely going to be with family, hopefully those in Louisiana, and I hope I'll manage to use some of my break time to be with friends back where I was. I think my dad's parents are making their annual "We Only Love Our Son" (seriously) trip down here in a couple of weeks, which will probably be like they aren't there because of school, work, and such.

As for Halloween, I'm probably just going to pass out candy as I have for years now. Although people keep telling me I should get a Guy Fawkes mask and dress as Epic Fail Guy considering my humor and amount of black in the closet.

Or even cheaper, just a ninja...

[Blademaster]

Ahem...

[classy_cat18]

*looks over the list*

Where's Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Don't you dare get one and not the other!

I should put aside a Saturday to get and start The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. I was waiting for a new game to come along.

According to my church, Halloween is a pagan holiday and it's a sin to celebrate it. But they're having a "Harvest Festival" on Oct. 31 for the little kiddies. I'm putting on some fake vampire fangs and watch Halloween movies at home. And to all the radical Christians out there: bite me!

[Toxicity]

@Blade: Lovely choice of wording you have there. o_O Although I must say that my sentiments are identical. And my schedule is fairly similar to yours in the sense of exams and such. Luck to ya.

@Shonta/somewhat Blade again: Phantom Hourglass is a maybe for me. I want Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers Brawl as well, and I especially want to get Guitar Hero III for either Wii, PS2, or PC. And since GH has its release towards the end of the month...SAVE TIME!

I haven't heard of "Harvest Festival" as a term, but I can understand the belief of "zohmaigawd paganism" stemming from its Celtic origins. But what can I say? I love my heritage.

Although there is that disputable half-Japanese rumor...

[Blademaster]

Brawl is gonna be for Christmas. It can stay unreleased for another year as far as I care - Galaxy is first and only on my list right now. End of story.

[mr_pikachu]

It can stay unreleased for another year as far as I care - Galaxy is first and only on my list right now. End of story.

Now you're just asking for trouble. You do realize that, right?

(As my friends and I commonly say, SSBB is the game for the Wii. The Wii was made solely to provide a platform for the next Smash Bros. game!)

[Blademaster]

Funny, my friends have been saying the same about Galaxy...

[Houndoom_Lover]

I'm getting them both if I can!!! ^_^ Hopefully! I'd love to get Mii Sims too! I hate how they just stare at me! And the doctor game, the detective game...Hmmm! ^.^ We're having a wii party, I have to supply my wii for it XD

[mr_pikachu]

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.

They said it's mostly a precaution, but my left arm's in a sling right now. Had a bit of a biking accident this morning. They didn't see any obvious fractures in my elbow, but the doctor thinks I might have popped the joint out and popped it back in. (Don't remember the word he used... something-uxation, I think.)

Anyway, he prescribed some pain pills and said they might end up making me drowsy. So, yeah. I'm typing with one hand right now (and will be as long as I have this thing on). Kinda frustrated about this whole thing.

[Phoenixsong]

Oh, wow. :/ That sucks. Biking accidents always suck... I almost broke my ribs when I crashed into a tree years ago, so I can kinda sympathize.

Get better, dude. *pats for pika*

[mr_pikachu]

Thanks. I don't think it's anything too serious, but when you catch yourself with your arm and hear a loud pop, it's best to take it seriously, I guess.

[Lady Vulpix]

A luxation? That sounds both painful and annoying. I hope you get better soon.

[Goodnight Seadra]

O.o

Ouch! Yeah, that must be very fruasting for you to get hurt like that. Well, hope for you to have a speedy recovery! ^^

[Houndoom_Lover]

Man, I'm so behind on work. It's sitting there, staring at me- I know I need to do it, I just can't make my fingers go to the doing of! How awful T.T Hmmm, I'll get to it! *eating milk and cookies*

[Gavin Luper]

UNI'S OVER. YAY.

Now, exam study.

Oh the bittersweetness. It's like Fortunately, Unfortunately.

Fortunately, Uni is over at last.

Unfortunately, I have to study for another three weeks.

[Drago]

Bleh, good luck with exams, Gav. I've finished uni as well, but my course doesn't do exams until the third year. ...If I stick around that long. Heh.

[mistysakura]

Lucky sod. Well, I'm done with exams next Tuesday, so it's not so bad.

[Toxicity]

I just finished with Midterms. So now I await semester exams before Christmas...

Oh fun.

[Saffire Persian]

Lucky. My midterms are still going. And it's killing me--even without exams my classes are killing me. XD I can't wait for December.

[Gavin Luper]

I know the feeling, DK. I don't know if I can be stuffed doing another two years at Uni, but at the same time, I can't think what else I would do if I wasn't studying something. It's so cruel.

[darktyranitar]

Eh, I'm done with the first semester... (not) looking forward to the 2nd sem that starts next week...

[classy_cat18]

I only have one class this term...and it doesn't have exams! *dances happily*

In other news, I finally caved in and got Twilight Princess for the Gamecube, and Phantom Hourglass for the DS. Both good games, but I still don't like getting lost in Hyrule Field! AAARGH!

[mistysakura]

Dk and Gavin: thirded. Especially for the science part of my degree. It's not that I don't like what I'm doing now. I like learning about all this stuff. I just wish that as well as drifting along doing stuff I like, I'd have a direction and sense of purpose of doing it as well.

[classy_cat18]

Turkey Day was a nightmare for me. Never celebrate with a big family, especially one with a lot of little kids who don't know how to stay still or quiet. I'd rather run with the bulls.

[eevee-shayna]

Happy Thanksgiving to all in Smiley Town! Did everyone (or at least the Americans) have a good holiday? I had a wonderful Turkey day because Sammy came to visit (and my b-day was the 21st) ^_^

[dratinihaunter13]

hey everyone! just dropping in for a bit since it's definitely been a while. right now i'm in d.c visiting my brother.

i ended up getting a job a couple months ago! i'm now anchoring/reporting sports for a tv station in west virginia. it's been strange at times, being in a new (and very different) place without knowing anyone, but i still can't get over watching all my favorite sports and getting paid for it. the hours work for me, long and late (6 and 11 pm shows), but i definitely value the days off. anyways, just thought i'd let you guys know what i was up to! if any writing gets done i'll let y'all know. i have started reading again, What is the What by Dave Eggers, so that's good =).

happy holidays tpm!

[classy_cat18]

Fall term's over. *sighs* Why am I even going to school anymore?

[mistysakura]

That sounds great, dh! I recall you saying that was the job you wanted So good stuff. I had What is the What recommended to me, but I haven't read it and can't remember what it's about. Should probably check it out. At the moment I'm working full time and trying to catch up with relatives in Hong Kong and trying to suck less on guitar simultaneously, so TPM's being knocked off the priority list... but I'm trying, I swear!
