I walked out of my dorm this morning and didn't feel that familiar autumn chill, which shows that there really is global warming going on. I don't need Al Gore to tell me that, but the nonbelievers do. My nation needs to stop kissing the collective asses of big businesses that **** up the environment.
Celebrity class (aka Media and Society) sucked as usual. We watched a video on Elvis megafans to learn more about parasocial interaction. After my Spanish class I'm going to take a nice long nap, since I went to bed at 1:30 last night due to my roommate's watching the Phoenix Suns play on TNT.
Edit: Yesssssss, I got a nomination in one of the forum awards for Best Custom Tag! I won't say who it is but he obviously has great taste.
... and Allison, who dressed up as a French Maid (Yes, I did spend alot of the night looking at her, because I know one of you perverts had to think that.)
Ah, heck, sure... I'll volunteer
Seriously though, the story of your Halloween experience is rather... interesting, in an unfortunately negative way. It goes rather deep, I'd say, I have to agree with Mr. Stuff that this might be best talked about with the lady in question... But those are just my two cents
@ Mr. Stuff:
To answer your question, my favorite ice cream flavor would have to be banana, preferably with either a caramel or chocolate swirl
Hmmm... Let's just say 'not at the moment' I might order some OJ after my training this evening
@ Mortal Wombat:
Actually, Autumn is gaining considerable momentum here in the Low Lands. I need to sleep underneath to blankets at night - and I'm not prone to being cold.
It's one thing to have an occasional rude clerk, because there's always the option of appealing to the higher management. But if the whole shop is run by incompetents, that's a different story. Sadly, many game stores are run by gamers, who usually don't have the judgment and professionalism necessary to run a successful business. They either neglect their customers to death out of laziness, or their friends take advantage of their goodwill and leech off the business until it's dead. There are of course the game stores run by business heads, where things cost more and you can't always find what you need because perhaps it isn't the bestselling game, and there's no space to play and no organized tournaments.
The only store with sanctioned events in the entire city is about to die. I know.

That is why I really like our local gaming store. They do good business and manage their affairs well, but they are also really good at getting things for you and keeping their prices down. Even though it was met with a poor turn out, they were more than willing to accomodate the needs of local gamers by trying to start up FNM and an area Living Greyhawk campaign, but that didn't really take off due to lack of local interest.

@ Wessel:
Weet je, ik heb eerlijk waar geen idee wie ik zou nomineren voor de Awards...
I think it would look something like this right now:
Best Custom Tag - ?
Nicest Member - Mamelon
Best Member - Wessel/Nan
Best Signature - ?
Best Avatar - ?
Best Moderator - votan/Avatar of Kokusho
Funniest Member - TFE sneakyhomunculus/Photon Eater
Most Helpful Member - Faerie Lord
Rookie of the Year - ?
I still have a lot of research to do.
Nog gefeliciteerd met jouw nominaties overigens
@ SDA:
I hope there's still a chance that your store will pull through
Here in Zeeland, we waited for what seemed like ages before we could finally play sanctioned (withouth having to travel 1,5 + hours).
There's also going to be a "best sig/av artist" vote, which I of course hope I make it onto. If I could get the nominations, I might have a shot at best avatar, but I don't think I'm well known enough. Oh well. It looks like people are just voting for the same thing they did last year on that one.
In things like this, it's not really so much about "best" or whatever, and more about how well known the individuals are. At least in my experience and opinion.

I'd like to be nominated for sigs/banners, but I doubt I will. Truth be told, I'm very proud of all the banners and avatars I've ever made, and I really enjoy making them. Aw well, though; when it comes down to it, it's a popularity contest and nothing more. That much is evidenced by the names I've seen so far.
@Flyff: Yeah, it does seem like it's gonna be kind of flat, but then again it's an MMORPG so I expected that from the get-go. I'm using it as a time-waster as it stands, until I get my hands on Tales of the Abyss or a Mother 3 translation, so yeah ^__^;;
@SDA: You live in Baltimore, right? Wow, that's one of the bigger cities in the country and it's going to be Magicless? That's crap on a cracker. There's a card shop in Bethlehem (PA) that has Magic events, and it's 15 minutes away, but I've never gone because I can't have a car since I'm a freshman.
My forum awards votes:
Nicest: Yukora
Best avatar: Mr. Bloody Minded (though I kept telling myself to vote for Mr. Stuff. )
Best sig: ???
Rookie of the Year: Spiral
Most helpful: SnoopDoggAtog
Funniest member: kingcobweb
Best member: PurpleD
Best custom tag: kingcobweb
Best mod: Stax
Also, I got another vote for best custom tag! Hopefully the fad will still be alive come voting time.

Technically not, since the county has 3 stores, but I don't drive, so **** me. This is a very car-oriented town, and if you don't have one, you need to leave.
What tends to pull votes for 'best avatar' is humor; while a lot of people have very cool and/or fitting avatars, I believe that humourous ones tend to stick with people more; last year, if I recall correctly, every avatar that made it to the voting was a humourous one. (And I believe that they were all animated, as well.)
Yeah, usually on the internet it comes down to "if it ain't funny, I ain't never heard of it." Isn't that always the way.
I was going to use that Rose icon for something a while ago, actually. When that ex-friend of ours was going on and on about some nonsense, I was going to make that into an LJ icon that says "OMG STOLAS W/SPELLS!"

Hey all, not much to say, because im completely confused right now. Apparently I woke up this morning at about 5am, and had no memory whatsoever of last night, and its quite scary, because I had forgotten an hour or two here and there, but never a whole night. I really dont know what happened, i remember it being about 6pm and eating chili cheese hotdogs, next thing I know its 5am here today. So now im off to figure out if I said anything or what other people I was with can tell me what happened, of which Allison did her best trying to describe it.
As for the fourm awards , I need to start researching everything before I can fully decide on my nominations, many good winners Ive seen for each of the categories.
Edit: to put a link in your sig, use the following text, without the *s.

I just woke up from a nice nap. Good job in nominating me for best custom tag, Alacar! That's three nominations so far.
@Nemcon: You might want to check your previous post here to possibly get some memories. Maybe somebody put a roofie in your chili dog...?
Wow... I totally do not remember making that post at all, but that does i guess reinforce everything that I was told...I guess that's pretty much all I can say about what happened, as I can't prevent the past from happening, yet I feel disturbed and hope it doesnt happen again.
Ah, the new thread! Great that it's finally up! My father has been using the phone line for the past few days so I haven't been able to get online at all.
I mean no disrespect to anyone, but my name is listed on the 'casual customers' list, instead of regulars. I know I was absent for the whole summer, but I have been considerably more ative lately and have been posting full time again for a while now. I don't know why I am not on the list of regulars, but I would like to be.

Yes, FL, that's my grandmother. By the way, tonight she is flying to Malta to kick your 1/1 flying butt.
Oh please. I haven't done that in months.
I'm not participating in the awards this year. Just sort of seems like... well, the sort of thing I wouldn't want to do, I guess.
When did you get sassy?

Just kidding, hehe. Nice to see more faeries in Magic, that's for sure. Better than Vedalken. But...is there no love for Homurids? SRSLY.
I'm still trying to decide on a blue race for Unnamed. I originally had nixies, but I decided I don't want anything too aquatic, so yeah *shrug*
