Heated debate aside... Fortunately, there are people interested in the geneology of our family on both sides, so despite being your average American Oklahoman mutt, I can break it down for you: My mother's family is European, having came over on the Mayflower. They were English, predominantly. I'm d...

MY LIST: 1) Cats (of all sizes and kinds) 2) Penguins 3) Purple 4) Black 5) Forests 6) Warm days with soft breezes 7) The Internet (you guys especially) 8) History 9) BOOKS 10) Skirts 11) Knee/OTK/thigh-high socks 12) Japan 13) Europe 14) Castles 15) "Art music" (ie, "Classical Music&...

I have like, hudreds of dollars of tech gift cards and I sure as heck don't want gadgets! Any game ideas? I'm thinking Animal Crossing: City Folk for one. I was going to get TF2 but it doesn't run on my PC. :[ I second your suggestion of Animal Crossing! Other than that? Hmm... Rune Factory 2? Maxi...

o hai 09! I spent this New Year's Eve much like I did last year. Moving! No drinking for me, though, since I have work in a few hours and I get such terrible hang overs. Ick. I'm going to forget to have everything as '09 now. Fortunately an 8 can turn into a 9 fairly easy, although making a 7 into a...

HAHA

Ahhhh....! Moved! Sorta :3 Everything's at the new house and we're completely out of the old house. The internet is up, but my computer hasn't been hooked up yet (I'm using his laptop right now). Sooo yeah, in the next couple days I'll set up my computer. Hopefully after I get paid on Friday I'll ha...

I envy Europe's secularism ;__; It's nice that they give you Sunday and Monday off. That makes more sense. Here it's tough because there's always school/work on Good Friday (and that Monday) and my family leaves for the big 3-day Easter reunion. I'm not religious nor is my family, it's just a convie...

Pfft, I don't think I can take on a Zelda webmaster on the fandom circuit. I'd get laps run around me! You're a much better gamer than I am XD I have fun with it and everything, but I'm just not that talented :p and seriously on the Zelda front. Maybe it'll give me time to get caught up! RF2 stuff [...

Maxine, Well, you forget I live in Oklahoma. Bible belt country, yay! So what some churches do in other parts of the world, most of 'em do here. That aside, you're right. I'm pretty sure that the pentecostal church we're talking about is different from the christian holiday/feast/whatever that has t...

What's Pentecost Day? We have the pentecostal church here, where they handle snakes and speak gibberish o_o but something tells me that's not what you do. You really don't have many holidays... oo! Queen's Day. I hear that's fun ^_^ ETA: I'm price-shopping laptops online. I think I've got one picked...

XD Rune Factory 2 [spoiler] Don't ask me how, but I got convinced that Mana's request required a monster drop, hence my saving up for a sword before I started any of the requets. Then I started doing them and was like "Oh, fuck me" >_< Yeah, I feel stupid. Wow, Maxine, all the requests? Wh...

Thanks! XD Right now I'm at work, hence the internet access. I thought we were going to unplug and pack the computers last night, but they got a reprieve. We're only moving a few streets over. On Monday we're going to go around and switch off utilities, switch the internet/land-line, etc. I'm suppos...

^^; I'm not ashamed of my family. We're poor but I've never wanted for anything. My parents have taught me to be frugal and thrifty, which are useful skills, and the appreciation of the small things. I'm wearing another pair of new socks today. They're pink with pinwheels, cupcakes and lollipops. <3...
