I also know how that feels. My brothers (who are twins and younger than me) had their birthday party at our house. Our parents were gone for a whole week, so they decided to get one of their older friends to get them a keg of beer for their party. What I thought was going to be around 30 people, which I didn't mind, turned out to be over 100! The house felt like a case of sardines until 4 or 5 in the morning. The next day, all my brother did in cleaning up was take all the beer bottles and get money for the deposits. They didn't start to really clean until the day before my parents got home about a week later! I had to sleep in a filthy house for a week, I didn't enjoy it much.

Sometimes I hate the popular social class...

I'm in a really, really good mood for the first time a long time, my life is looking spectacular now that I really think about it. Sure, I have no propositions, no hope for the future, a couple naggy parents and I;m stranded between two of California's semipermeable, but I had my first lucid dream last night and it was dan fun, like, the ultimate high, cocaince, acid, shrooms and ecstacy combined ain't got compassion on this. Also, I'm making bombs for tomorrow and that's one of my favorite hobbies so I've been enjoying myself (I just need some salt peter for the smoke bombs but whenver I ask for some the store clerks look at me weird).

yay, Doomie, you're happy and... wait, BOMBS ?! Yikes !

July 4th - American Independence Day.

I believe it is customary to blow stuff up on that day.

Right you are my stargelish friend and I must admit, the fact that other countries don't celebrate the fourth of July always seems to slip my mind. Guess I should think outside of the U.S. about traditions and stuff...

Well then, happy revolution Day to all ye Americanos here and please try not to blow up anything larger than a doghouse...

Doghouse? That's tiny! We blow up random people's mansions on July 4th.

G'day Mates! This is Rainer reporting from Sydney Austrailia.

Rainer is just two days into his two-week Band tour of Austrailia. He lost his first day on the flight here. Uhg, Jet lag...

Anywho, Rainer will not be on all the time. He is currently at an Internet Cafe. But be sure to hear lots of good tales when Rainer gets back. He already has a good one involving an elevator and couple from the Zoo

Hope to see you all soon!

P.S.:He also hopes to upload his pictures from the tour onto Photobucket, if it will hold 155 images

If not you have special dispensation to (mis)use your myChorrol folder which holds about 50 megabytes.

Have a wonderful time Rainer!! Australia - how exciting! I remember from your introduction that you said you really enjoy your life in the band and touring around.

We have photo folders? Where are they?? Stargelinho - is this a normal thing we can do?

Wait.... You can blow stuff up on July 4th and not just shoot of some sparkely Fire Crackers?

SWEEEEEET!

DoomsDay Runs off to get passport airplain tickets and grabs his backpack to stuff with gernades, dynamite, morter shells, tank shells, land mines and varios explosive stuff that lies around the house.

Hy Ibis, can I camp out in your back yard for the duration of Independance day?
Promis not to blow anthing big up in your hose.

Have funn in Australia Rainer, pls dont pick up theyre actsen.

Sure Doomsday, you may stay as long as you like. I know, we'll camp you out in the laundry room right next to the pool. It has a private restroom and we can put a hot plate for you to cook your food. And you can swim in the pool while you shoot off fireworks over the lake. tee hee hee That'll show those old aligators to stay on their own island.

I'm sorry Ibis but he's not staying here unless he's willing to make shoes in my basement just like all the other foreignors I smuggle in on the promise of a new life and fireworks.

Oh? Well, in that case, would you have him make me some alligator shoes? (And matching purse, please ... I'm sure there'll be enough hide for both)

Not that I thikn the majority of you could care less, but for those that are interested I thought I'd put down my exam results.

I now have a 2:1 Masters degree in Pharmacy.

Oh, and I'm a PADI Rescue scuba diver.

There you go.

Hope that's a good thing, Foster

Anyway, Rainer is at a billet's house Right now (a billet is a member of another band who you stay with during a tour) He has aquired some really good pictures so far (Wolfie might have a new Avatar )

Forgot to mention, got my school report the other day. I was very happy with it, my lowest result was a B3 (low , and my lowest % was 70% in Higher Level Maths (I was ecstattic about that, i thought i was gonna do crap in maths )
Oh and RAiner, i dunno, i'm very attached tot his avatar

At the very least you'll love the photo

Ok..long time since I posted in this thread now!
Anyway congrats to all of you who have got good results ........good work!
´
For your information I got the new job I applied for a month ago. It´s within the NPP, it´s just another position. I´m now Coordinator at Unit 3, for the Environment department. It´s kind of a boss-job but without any personell-responsibility.

It will be very much more responsibility, more power, more salary......but above all very much more work! I´ll start out officially 1st september, but since I already work at Unit 3 I thought I might start out right away!

The Environment-department handles, health physics, chemistry, industrial safety, waste-handling, fire-protection, physical security and common environment protection....phew!

So..wish me luck!!!!

Holy muffins!

It's been very hot and very humid these past days and it was only a matter of time before this would happen. Now it is happening and I'm a bit scared. Not for me, but for my electronics. Just a few minutes ago, lightning struck down just around the corner (can't have been more than a mile from the time between lightning flash and thunder). My computer actually went BZZZZZT for a second - must have been a fluctuation in the power levels. I decided to not continue playing fallout 2 but rather disconnect at least one of my machines from the power in case something... bad happens. After Minques experiences I just don't want to risk it!

Well, hooray for you! But you must be sure to tell them that your primary responsibility is a little community called Chorrol.com! If work interferes with that.... there could be consequences.

Seriously, that is good news- congratulations and acknowledgement of your hard work.

O_o Stargelinho!.....Good thing you disconnected something! See lightning can be a catastrophe! We expect some thunder here as well, so I am watchful..as Azura says! Tonight it will be disconnecting of all my machines AND the darn router!



Aww thanks treydog! Yeah, this is what I wanted, and hopefully it won´t interfere with chorrol and you guys! Ahhh...I´ll probably come here more often..just to get some support and nice comments! That´s very important for me.....because I do love you guys very much!

Yeah. Tell them you have prior obligations to us that take up most of your time and that you'll work for them in whatever time you have left.

Congrats on the new job minque!

Congrats Minque on your new job! I'm very happy for you.

Stargelinho, make sure to get a battery powered APC uninteruptible power supply. That way, when lightning strikes - your whole system gets switched over to the battery supply and your system gets a soft-off.

When my computer got smoked out and ruined from a power problem, Cain had the battery backup & his computer suffered no damage at all.

NO! I'm an animal rights activist!

Speaking of which, I applied for a job with a bunch of insane animal-lovers. I mean, I like animals, but these people adore them.

THe job I applied for is a boarding house for dogs. RIch people that are going out of town for whatever reason leave their dogs here. The dogs have assigned roommates (which are other dogs) they have air-conditioning, couches, TVs in their rooms, a movie night. It's ridiculous.

But if I get a job there, it's money. And great stories to tell my friends by making fun of my coworkers.

Alligators are animals?? I thought they were prehistoric eating machines to keep the lakes clear of excess living matter.

Talking about animals aye? I must say I'm a big animal lover myself - not to extreme limits but... When it comes to alligators, I'm a really reptile lover must be cause I loved dinosaurs as a small child. But I love alligators, lizards and I would kill to have a snake. Been to many of these yearly snake stuff things as the museum here in Oslo. Just love those animals, their hunting technique and everything - is always fun watching them feed the Puffadder(sp?) and the Diamondback - pluss that I got the opportunity to hold a six feet long Tiger python snake, which I of course did - I surely understand why people love the hide but 'no no for killing animals'

Fuzzy Knights are animals too you know

Well I had my wisdom teeth removed today. It was my first surgery since I was 2, so it has been the only one I've actually remembered. It seems to have been a successful operation at least, it's really only one corner of my mouth that is sore, the bleeding has been consistantly slowing as well. In fact, I think it's only bleeding when I put the gauze in my mouth do to the pressure.

I believe I'll be in a good enough condition to go to my buddy's place to watch UFC 61: Bitter Rivals on Saturday. Tito Ortiz is going to rock Ken Shamrock! I can't wait to see it!

Are you going to show us toothache pictures, MetalMallet? Like with the icepack up to your swollen face and all??

Thanks a lot! Well I´ll tell them what you said......ehrrm....on the other hand it might be wiser just not to...they might find it appropriate not to give me that very much needed extra money!
I´ll see to that I can come here as much as usual......


Thanks Ibis! I´m just now sitting here watching the sky.....it looks a bit darker.....and it´s very hot and humid..so I won´t be surprised if something will come this way...something like.....thunder!



Boarding house for doggies!? Now that is funny.....I mean we also have some dog-kindergarten here but the dogs only have their own cells....no tv or aircondition...no way...those things could only happen in America! yayyy......You also have dog-restaurants right? I´ve read about that...and I find it hilarious!

Unfortunately for you but fortunately for me, the dental surgeon said I didn't need to wear the funny-looking icepack chinstrap, and my face didn't really swell at all. I'm only taking some antibiotics, painkillers, a mouthwash, and just icing the side of my face from time to time. Sorry guys!

I was just looking at a thread on TESF about the advert for that new white PSP, adn i was wondering what people here think of it.
ersonally i don't see how anyone could find offence in it, it just shows two people. Although i find it hilarious reading the TESF thread with a load of Americans getting all bent out of shape over it

LINK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes show us a link please ... I don't know what you're talking about.



Hehehe ... that is a funny boarding house for dogs! But your quote of "that could only happen in America" reminded me of this funny picture I saw - from India:

Elephant Movie Experience

Ele-phreaky huh?!

Most likely about this advertisement.

lol - Nice "drive"-in

Ok, anyone want to tell me what the hell is up with TESF? every time i go onto them it tries to install a trojan on my computer.

EEEWW...I wouldn´t go there then if I was you! Thanks for the warning!

I've got an update on it, someone hacked the site. But it only affects people who use the tan skin, so switch skin as soon as possible

yah I don't want to go there anymore for a wile. Next thing is that they infect all the skins :S. Crap...I might switch my homepage. Does anyone knows if it's a big trojan like, hard-to-remove-kind of trojan lol ?

Thanks for the warning Wolfie. That's the last thing I need. I just had to do a total reformat due to a virus I had gotten when somebody hacked The Elder Vaults website. I am not going to go to TESF at all then until I hear that there is an all clear.

same here Ibis :/

It's not a full-out trojan.

According to several people I've talked it, it's very easily removed.

Stay away from the forums because even people on different skins are experiencing odd problems, such as computer freezes.

Yep, slammed me, too. Bunch of different trojans and exploits tried to piggyback on. McAfee caught them, but then XP started complaining about "Spyware, Your Computer has been infected!" Even though it couldn't actually FIND any spyware. Finally, used a Restore Point from yesterday to kill the stupid warning message. Needless to say, will be avoiding the official forums for a while. Glad this site is my "home."

Apparently, for some the pop-up isn't coming up.

I doubt the coast is clear though. I'm still not touching the forums with a 10 meter pole!

Yeah i just finished a virus scan, i'm clean, but i'm staying the hell away from TESF until i hear all is well

Oh I am so glad to be "home" here too. And the FanFiction here is just exquisite. I read all of Serene of Cyrodiil up to and including Chapter four and then I can't find anymore links to more chapters. Is that all there is available now? Is the rest stored away in Minque's lightning-struck hard drive in her purse? If so, now I see why she carrys it around in her purse. It's priceless in entertainment value.

So now I am reading a rollicking adventure story from Morrowind called The Story of Trey, about Trey of High Rock who is a young alchemist-by-profession/thief-by-neccesity who finds himself in Morrowind coping with the strangeness. It grips the imaginationa and makes one want to play Morrowind again, which I am going to go do in a few minutes .... the name of the author is quite gripping and a bit funny too, but just escapes the grip of my memory at this time. lolol

Something sort of canine I seem to think but all I can think of are Nix-Hounds right now. They certainly can be gripping with those big mouths full of teeth

I was a big fan of The Tale of Gaenor. Never did get around to the second or third installment though.

Actually Ibis, some of chapter 5 can be found in the Fan Fiction forum. Chapter 5 isn't completely done yet but it looks promising from what I've read so far. There's plenty of good fan fiction found in the forums that aren't in the fan fiction area of chorrol too. But I do know that Trey's complete story is where your reading the fan fiction right now.
