Uhh, yeah, less people *taps board statistics which say "We have 1,669 registered members"*

Its good to have you back Shogun, we missed you very much. Every day a thread would be opened, closed and deleted with the title "SH06UN!!1". Ok, thats pushing it, but we (atleast me) did miss you very much.

meh.. so?


yeah well 1077 users were active in the last 5 minutes on the official so if we make a proportion [assuming our member's online(including guests) is directily proportionaly] then if they have 1,077/x = 56/1,669..

then 56x=1,077*1,669 so that means that 56x=1797513... so if we take 1797513 and divide 56 then we will get the (wrong) number of members on the official forums... 32,098.446... (yes .446 people are on the official forums..) give or take a couple thousand... so, in comparison to 32,098; 1,669 is a very small number

YAY!!! I am utterly bored, and did a math problem... thats really bored... well I gotta go to be, i might just figure out the answer to the universe and the ultimate question adn all that sort of thing. cheers.. (ps, Red, you may have power but I got da brains )

rofl

aww that is so nice of you red, no one else welcomed me back like that...

except i got a happy birthday PM from someone i didnt even know, that was kinda akward. hey 1,669 is still less than the elder scrolls forums, they have that many people on at one time!

anyway its midnight here, i skipped school today (ooh, im a bad person) so i gotta go tomarrow, so i will prolly see you all then. not that anyone really cares that i'm leaving.

...

cept red.

You may have the brains, but I have the powers to make you're posts sound idiotic.

And don't "meh" me, I know you're jelous of my strength and power. Narcissism? No way, he wasn't as hawt as me. Don't compare me to that ugly flower ever again.

Hehe, by Shogun, have a good day.

hmm, I can't type when i'm half asleep (or when i'm wide awake for that matter) well yeah.. talk to y'all later

Everyone knows who holds the true power on the forums, like Dante I manipulate all the mods from behind the scenes.

Though secrecy was the source of my power, and I just blew my own cover, so I guess that whole thing is out the window .

The mention of the official forums made me start wondering again why The Elder Scrolls forum has been down for like a week or something. Anybody know? Seems really strange not to have it there.

But, the Rethan Manor which seems to be linked to the official forums somehow is running.

must just be you, i've been on yesterday and just 2 minures ago... it has been terribly slow post-oblivion however.

Me as well...I can manipulate somethings....I have the power...(yeah right...)

And well, Shogun I'm glad to see you back...even though we did not talk too much, your posts used to be funny...just like Kindred's post, that is filled with BIG parts of his life story.

But, you think that less people...more innelligent...well, I'm glad to see that someone manages to write the word INTELLIGENT right......lol

But, I must agree with everyones posts of what you need...but in my case I need a boyfriend ( my husband for that matter), a good'ol fashioned video game...cookies are a must, money, well they do have advantages...but you forget the most important thing, it have four legs and is the humans best friend......




Warning SPOILER SPOILER...


The Sofa...

bah, i was just testing how true the statement was. and guess what? you proved it!

have some cake

and what do you mean used to be funny??? am i just a has-been to you?

heheh smilies make me laugh

no no...I did not mean it like that...but I was talking about you, in a way that tells that you was away for a LONG LONG time...

Your still funny as a lap sided guar..:

*ahem* i believe you mean 'lop sided guar'. and to be quite honost, i'm sorry but i just don't seem to remember you... the name is familiar, but that's it

Ah sure...thats me outsmarted I guess...

but, well I dont blame you for not remembering me...I joined in at 10th of November...and well, you've been away for a while...pluss we never talked much...so..but heck we can be friends now...right???...

YOU hold the true power? Young man...you gotta be kidding!



Exactly Tellie! ehhh at least it´s my hubby´s best friend!


Anyway

WELCOME BACK Shogun! Really nice to see you again!

Just figured I'd quote you and second that Sniper, welcome back mate.

Hope you can find the time to come to the forums more frequently now man, It's nice to see you again.

How do you know you're not just saying that in an attempt to reestablish my cover?

Welcome back to forum land Shogun
And Doomed, if you intend to hold the real power behind my actions, you better come up with some real big bribes

That my dear....is a thing you will never find out!


Ehhhh yeah.....what Wolfie just said...



Nevertheless, have some tea and scones.....*puts out a teapot and a plate with warm freshly made scones*

No Red!! You can´t have´em all!

if so, you just ruined it.

...what are scones?

and again thank you all for the warm welcome back

*Takes a single scone all polite-like, then eats it through osmosis*

Aww come on Doomie, no one but I rules this forum. Yes, I admit it, everyone is powerless to my whim.

Sure..

Hey.. What happened to Kindred anyway? Someone eat that little liberal?

WELCOM E BACK SHOGUN !!! ... I never met you before, but everyone seems so overjoyed that you've returned that I thought I'd say a special welcome home.

Tellie, I was sitting here since your post trying to picture a lap-sided Guar...was also thinking how nice it'd be to sit in the lap of my own pet Guar. I could just hear it purring as it rocked me...(don't know that they purr exactly but I'm sure it's a similar type sound.)

I am waiting for Stomach Ache to come back and see how he is doing. Guess I'm sorta motherly sometimes, but I've been thinking of him. Hope he's ok.

I feel so important. people i dont even knpw are rejoicing for my return. lets have a welcome back shogun party here in the coffee shop!!

Kindred was cool, he'd talk forever about nothing, that guy's going to grow up to be the greatest village wise man ever.

Cool job though, that's sort of what I want to do, just become a homeless man and sit at vilalges giving people wisdom and living in their houses and if they accept me I'll stay under their tree or something in a little hut and they'd deliver me food and in return I'd give them advice, and they'll all come see me when the hamster cave whities come or there's a drought or something.

I've thought a lot about this.

Oh, and to wolfie, minque, and red...

How do you guys know none of you all starting saying that just to reestablish my cover as secret forum manipulator?

Hey, that sounds like a good title.

Hmm...Kindred have not been eaten...as he is still active on the TES forums...but I think he have stopped going here...maby he did not like it too good here...

But well, he still continues to come up with all kind of unimportant junk about his life...and event though it often dont have anything to do with the actual topic, it's still funny as H***

Just finished the English exam over here, think it went pretty well... I wrote about what I wrote about, lol kinda. Wrote about two pages (which is pretty much since I write so tiny as I do) about challenges - Where I wrote all about how the exams, school and stuff are sometimes a real challenge since it really shapes you're future when you're in at the end of the 10th grade. So wrote about what and about how you're parents force you to study when you have vecation and that you can't even go out on fridays to get wasted all because of the exams...

Hopefully this will work out pretty fine, 3/4 exams down so I only got the most boring one left which is "ny-norsk" New Norwegian lol as it's called, just a writing style that has been made up from all dialects in Norway, a completely useless thing in my opinion - And I have a little amount of dyslexia but it's not enough to make me skip the subject Well well, my teacher says I do pretty well thought to have migrane and a small amount of dyslexia...

After that it's the final exams coming up, in about three weeks or so... Hopefully it won't be hell on earth as I think it will be

Just got a call from Brandstad now (cloth store) - My lacoste shoes have arrived Finally..

I woke up this morning on my 18th and thought "today is going to be a bad day". So far it hasnt been bad, well I mean I have had worse. I have had some birthday wishes and they have had my thanks. I was supposed to finish college (where I am now) an hour ago, so I would be at home by now on Oblivion.

Unfortunatly my course tutor has finally come back from a long absence and we have been informed to meet her at 1:30. So for the last hour I have sat pottering about on the colleges restricted internet.

I can see there will be more bad news later alongside a hectic afternoon. I was planning on going home and spending the rest of the day chilling meeting my relatives that will come round and enjoying a few cans.

That can still wait till later, but it sucks that today isnt going to be as laid back as my normal day. But for the remaining half hour it looks to just be me and Mr.Bungle in an empty IT room, using an internet where anything containing the word game is locked......

Sucks Joyrn,

Im in sorta the same situation in the fact that im stuck somewhere deprved of gamming based internet access, High School, until around 6pm. Im ok though because warcraft 3 has mysteriously appeared on the school server.

That is indeed the most stupid thing they teach in Norwegian schools. Granted some Norwegians have New Norwegian as their main language, but they shouldn't force everyone to learn it, and especially not make it count the same as the other classes.

Well they've been discussing making the non-main Norwegian language non-mandatory, so for those still in school (and have some years left) I hope for your sake that this will happen.

Your English exam sounded quite interesting, btw.

I'm at school right now, working on some writing, some schoolwork and trying to get my schedule straight for next year.

One more hour left in the day, and I'm exhausted. Plan to update my story though when I get home.

School. Everyone seems to be at school. I remember school. I hated it. I still do. The reunion comitee keeps trying to track me down, and don't take swear-word filled responses about how I hate them all and wished they'd leave me alone to heart. Yet they don't. Why don't they understand? If they bullied and tormented me in school, the only thing I want to hear about them is their obituary, not whatever they are now doing.

Really, school is the worst years of your life. Then you get to University, and it's great. The opposite sex get a hell of a lot more attractive too, and you make contacts and friends for life. You can also take up exotic and bizarre hobbies, such as hitting people with rubber swords pretending to be a pirate, sports where it doesn't matter if you're rubbish or not, Scuba diving, and various weapons based activities that are otherwise hard to find (like Archery, Fencing, and Medieval reinactment).

My boyfriend is graduating in a week and he'll be going to college soon. He's moving an hour away until I get out of school. I worry about how things are going to be from now on and I'm trying to adjust. I hope he has fun in college though. But, I also hope he will remain faithful to me... As in not flirting with other girls and stuff like that. I trust him immensley, and we're really planning our lives around each other, as we're planning on going to the same college together after I graduate. I just need to survive two years...

It's really on my mind as of late. But, I don't think things will be too bad. At least, I hope not.

Kayla,
Don't feel bad that your boyfriend is moving an hour away to go to college, that won't be such a long distance at all. You 2 will still be able to see each other alot of the time.
My boyfriend from high school went to college in Albuquerque and I went to college in Ohio. We spent so much time on the phone - every weekday night = that my Dad made me get an on-campus job the second semester just to pay my own phone bills.
But he and I, despite the fact that we only spent school holidays and the summers together, stayed together for 3 years. If I hadn't gone to Europe for 4 months and some other girl got ahold of him while I was gone - we might still be together.

But it's better the way things turned out because I've got a great hubby now.

If I drive from home 10 minutes later than normal I end up spending almost an hour in rush-traffic to get to work - which is about 10 km from my home... If I drive on schedule I take about 15 minutes.

So indeed, 1 hour away is not far (unless it means 1 hour by plane )

Thanks guys! I feel a bit better about it. Plus, I trust my boyfriend so much, I believe that nothing bad will happen. I just have to keep looking on the bright side.

One hour isn't much. But the one thing to remember is not to be too clingy in the first few months (well, ever really, but there we go), as he's got to find his feet in his new situation. Just make sure that you are a part of his life, but not something he associates with his past situation.

I've seen a lot of couples split by distances, and have even had a few long distance relationships myself (this isn't that long, by they way - try 5000 miles!) so I know that the best way isn't to be too overbearing. Be supportive and there for him, but don't make him feel as though he can't move on to the next stage of his life - which is what college is about, after all.

Thanks. That makes alot of sense. I wasn't really sure how I should act... But, now I feel alot better... Like I have some direction.

I feel like I'm getting alot of experience with that right now. He just recently got his first job, and I'm having to adjust to his inconsistent schedule. But, I don't think I'm being too overbearing about it. Plus, I'm trying to be very supportive. So, I think things are going to work out for us. I know I'm willing to work to make that happen.

Ugh, my dad just told me I'm moving in A WEEK!!! I can't stand it. I have to find somewhere to live here.

How old are you? 17?

This is the only but of advice.. And its from a dudes point of view (so don't mame me if it sounds bad)

I've seen long distace relationships work, and I've seen them fail. From what I gather your a Sophmore? And obviously hes a Senior. Please don't commit yourself untill your unpleased with everything (thats quite bland actually) I guess what I'm saying is College is a different place. Different people, different settings, different etc etc.

As a guy, and this is a gross generalization, we like to move at our own pace, and as such our pace could really fast, or hellishly slow. But in the end its defined (again generaly) by our current situation. I hope that he remains faithful and true to you, but you must accept the fact that your going to have to find a way to control that.. emotion that you feel for him into something you can create with, not destroy..

Damn, I need to learn how to keep my thoughts from running on.. So.. In summary.

Live your life how you want to live it, not how others deem so. If your happy and content so be it, but if your not, something needs to change. (That little advice comes from a previous experience of mine.. I learned it the hard way.. Long Distance Relationship that didn't work out..)

-=-

What up doom? Father kicking you out or just moving in general? I mean, I know a dude from my =US= Clan that your could stay with

I'm 16. I'm a Sophmore, he's a senior. We've been dating for a year and a half. We're really happy with each other... and I really just get this feeling that he's "the one".

I trust him, he's my best friend. And he feels the same way about me. I'm going to be very supportive of him when he's in college. I understand that we both have to live out our lives and everything. I really feel that he will remain faithful to me. He makes a huge effort to be with me already, so I know that we'll see each other, even though we'll be separated.

Well thats good.. just as long as his male insticts don't kick in , j/k!

You two sound like you'll be fine, I just felt the urge to be the devil advocate for once.. I wish you two the best o' luck.. Channler Style

Well, you are young; a lot of people will be saying "you can't know he's the one" and such, but then when I was 16 I doubt I listened to them either. I hope it works out, and obviously try and stay together, but just don't be too disheartened if you find the situation changing. And don't feel obligated to stay with him if HE changes, which is another possibility altogether. Like I say, you're still young. Plenty of time for relationships.

Personally, I am now 23, old, bitter, and sworn off the opposite sex for life. They're all evil, insidious, devious and foul hellspawned creatures whose sole purpose is to spend my money and cause me a life of enslaved, torpid misery. Sure they've got their plus points, but I've got absolutely no intrest in ever having another relationship. Then again, that's also because I hate children and wouldn't ever want them - which is always going to be a problem in a long term relationship. And if you're not dating for the long term, I can't see the point (beyond the obvious) of dating short term at all.

Still, like I say, I'm jaded.

Aw, Foster, you need to give us wimmens a chance!

We're not all horrible, manipulative, gold diggers.

My, my, my Foster .... we're going to have to send out one of our subtleist sisters to charm you back, I see. hahaha

Don't think automatically that the desire not to have children will always be a problem, there are some women who feel the same. My hubby and I have always been in agreement on that and it was one of the points that brought us together as a couple.

As for evil and all that ... I can see that you've run into some foul creatures pretending at love (believe me, they are out there masquerading in both sexes) but don't give up on the entire lot because of a few. You are going to miss an awful lot of your best moments if you do that!

I understand that you don't want to have a relationship,but to hate children?How can one hate children?Please,i would just want to know why?


Yes you are!
j\k offcourse.
But i have noticed an intresting fact:
If you open your heart to them,thay can be real satans.But if you lie,manipulate,make tricks,then you can score.I don't know why is it so,but my experience shows me it's like that.A weird thing a woman brain is.....When you treat them like princesses,they don't like you,when you treat them like cattle,than you can get their attention......Again,i don't know why is it like that,but i know that it's like that.

I think we all (women in general) have a tendency to overthink and look on the bad side of things. It's tough for us to see when our boyfriends do something good as opposed to whenever they do something bad. It takes alot of training to get out of that state of mind, and some of us never do. Sometimes, I slip up and forget all the good things my boyfriend has done for me. It's just an irrational thought process we go through.

Wow.. You just done in 1 hour what I've tried to do in nearly 9 years...

Find out why women act like that...

Whats the solution then? I mean, sometimes it just seems that I never get through no matter how wonderful I try to act...

I really don't know what I can tell you. It's more or less the woman's problem. It is best to try and explain to them that you do try, and that it is unfair of them to expect things from you.

Often women are dissatisfied because they are sitting around, waiting for their boyfriend to do something they deem romantic. Have they ever gotten mad at you because you didn't do something? In that case, it's best to explain to them that you are not a mind reader and if they want you to do something, then they'll most likely have to ask for it.

It's not really a man's problem. It's more or less the woman's problem. You have to tell her that you express your feelings in a different way than she does and probably in a different way than what she expects.

The way to get and keep a woman's interest is what yer mom told ya - be yourself. Don't apologize one bit for being who you are. If she don't like it, she is just not the woman for you - she's free to look elsewhere. That's the attitude to take.
Really, if she doesn't like you for yourself, there will be nothing but trouble as things develop. You shouldn't have to change, she shouldn't have to change - - if the chemistry isn't right, it just ain't gonna be.
As far as choices, give her one chance to choose ... none of this I can't make my mind up, do such n such to convince me, blah blah, etc. Take me or leave me, ya know? It could be rough on you too if you really like a girl alot - but just take it like a man, don't beg, and she'll be fascinated most likely after that, even if she starts out rejecting you.

I've been married 29 years this June, so Cain and I know a bit about love and accomodating each other in life.
