lookit all the people!!! 8 + google.com!!

apparently there was 150 on at one point in august.. what was the event then?

EDIT: everyone send your regards out to metal's brother who apparently is in the hospital. i dont know if metal will be around or not.

Hope his brother comes through, whatever the reason for being in the hospital. My regards *takes off hat*

But I do not think I joined during that time, but it would be a miracle for all those missing people to show up again, if only for one evening......

there was never a time when this forum bustled with hundreds of people daily. its always been this quiet if i recall.

it may have picked up a bit during the OB hype.. but in the most recent august? it mustve just been one hell of a coincidence to have 150 people on at a time.

I'm a Warrior. How amusing and bloody appropriate.

...also, I was born in the Year of the Snake, according to Chinese horoscope. Meh.

What was I about to post? Oh. yeah. Job offers, all turn out to be bogus. Not much money. Not much of a summer vacation [plans], either, except more useless work. In the meantime, I'll waste more time on IRC, so if anyone wants to hear with me, you know where to find me [although #chorrol on ChatSpike's servers is mostly reserved for sleepy people].

Not sure.. I've been here since pretty much its creation and I can't say I've seen more then 20 people on at one time.

Wow.. Has it already been over three years?

Only two, I believe. (I joined in Feb of 05, and I'm pretty sure I was one of the first 50 to join.)

but, did the numerous forum switches keep track of all of that info?

Thanks for warm regards everyone. I kinda had to leave on short notice the other night but I'll fill you in on what I understand about the situation:


Yesterday, my younger brothers (who are twins) were playing in a provincial qualifying tournament for rugby. In the second game, my brother had the ball and was taken down. While down, one of the opposing players decided to sucker punch him in the face and this ended up breaking his jaw. I guess at the time he thought he just had a tooth knocked loose but he was bleeding quite profusely so he went to the hospital.

Today, he went into surgery to have his jaw fixed and wired shut. So he's currently spending probably a few more days in the hospital to recover from the surgery. He's going to be wired shut for like 6 weeks though. But from what I understand, the surgery went well, so eventually he'll be back to normal. Support around here was been really good.



As for the 150 people online, I was on that day and I think that only happened because of the google.com thing. We seem to get more guests when that things around, since I think there might've been like 3 actual members on at that time. The rest were all guests.

Oh man, that is worse than I've ever had. The worst I have had is braking my left arm..... twice (two different times). Hope he gets better even more now.

I finally made an offer on a house so hopefully I'll be moving in the next month or so. I should be hearing back next week on the status. I guess it is going a bit slow because the house was owned by the bank because of a bankruptcy so there was a lot of paperwork and whatnot to fill out. I don't mind though, I'm getting the house for dirt cheap.

Mallet- sorry about your brother's injury- glad he is recovering.

Sir R- That is excellent- I hope you will enjoy the new house.

Mrs. Treydog and I are considering whether we can move to our land in the next county by next year... We will have to build, but the electricity and a well are already in place. Lots and lots of trees, deer, a small creek... Just have to build something to live in.

That sounds like it has the potential to be an absolutely awesome place to live

Is the brother on Vicodine, Metal?

You could get his conversations on tape and sell it to a local comedy shop.

I remember when I had surgery for my chin (it broke) and they put me on Vicodin. My sister and brother both video taped me talking in strange accents and impersonating random people. I had a good laugh once I was off of the drug.

Hopefully your brother is not in any pain.

Surprisingly, today was my last day of school. I thought I was going to have to take a few exams, but it turns out I'm exempt from all of them and never have to go back.

bye-bye high school!

Argh! Stupid Firefox!
It did an automatic update and decided it needed to wipe all my bookmarks!

I don't know what pain killers my brother is/was on. He just got back from the hospital today but I haven't seen him yet because I had to go to work. He didn't look to bad from afar though, he decided to flip me the bird for no reason, so he seems to be acting his usual self.

I don't know if he'll be taking any more painkillers. Probably though, he did have to go through surgery.

Coincidently my brother just his appendix removed ( not taking painkillers though ).

well, look at the bright side.


You could be using internet explorer

Ar.. He be talkin da truf!

Im kinda pissed right now.. How comes I buy a car, and when my parents car breaks down it becomes theres? Its ridiculous! Now to compound the problem my little brother just got his lisence and he needs a vehicle to drive.. and guess what? Its always mine.. sob..

Im pissed too my girlfriend is moving to Tacoma, Washington

oh yeah? well im pissed because...

well im just pissed.

_Hmmm..I see a lot of pissed persons around here! That´s....well not so good!

Cheer up guys! Life isn´t that bad! I promise, I´ve lived long enough to know!

Now then, I want to tell you that I´m going to Russia tomorrow. Back thursday evening. I have no idea if I´ll find an internet-connection so I´ll most probably be absent for a few days....

Well last night I had my first Canadian bar experience. I'll warn you now, don't be the only guy in the group when you're only friends with the girls with you. You might look like a pimp at first but you're likely going to be playing body guard the entire night as horny dudes keep approaching them. I did have some fun though, but I'm definitely going to make sure that our group is bigger next time.


And another thing. Economics is weird. Our Canadian dollar has reached a 30 year high, the last time I heard it was like 94 cents to the American dollar and yet it's a bad thing for a lot of industries. Isn't having a more expensive dollar a good thing?

You're right, dear... things can always be worse.

have a safe trip and take care, Minkey o/ and don't forget to bring back some photos. Russia is a lovely country, although people are... eh, strange [at least my ol' man says so].


...
My flu is loosening the grip on me, although I can still feel it. I am worried though; end of this week/beginning of next we go back to do more concrete work. And last 4 times I went to 'nature' I got these... attacks. My nose would run uncontrollably and I was sneezing like it wanted to put me out of my misery trough sheer torment. Now I am more worried about pollen than cement. Bleh.

I'm not "pissed", tired is more like it. I got nine hours of sleep this morning at the most (I doubt it). But I've been having fun with CAC 3 and I'll try to get a more stable amount of sleep at night. I'll be off to Australia and New Zealand from the seventeenth to July sixth.

I definitely won't be active during that time, so I'll have a lot to catch up on probably.

anyone play any of the civilization games? i bought the third one years ago, and just now picked it up and started playing again. hard as all get out, but its pretty cool.

Big fan of Civilization- have all 4. Also like Europa Universalis, which is quite different (but also hard). I think Civ 3 may be my favorite.

Finally had a little rain here after 2-3 weeks with nothing. Have been putting out food and water for the birds. Really fun to watch- we have cardinals, brown thrashers, and red-bellied woodpeckers (yes, that's a real bird!) which have been feeding their young. Also saw a gold finch today. Really helps that we have one of the few houses in the neighborhood with mature trees.

Awww Mil! I wish you a good recovery from your pollen-allergy..those things can be nasty! And sure I´ll bring photos from Russia, in fact I have quite a fwe already from my previous trips there!

See you guys on thursday then!

Has anybody got one of the next gen consoles yet, I just got a PS3

Playstations suck! Anyway, I've got an xbox 360.

Playstation is going to outsell everything in 2 years but you win....... for now.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahaha!


how very demasculating. they must have had a ball watching you suffer!

PS3. meh. id consider getting one if they were two hundred dollars cheaper.

the only reason i'd get one would be for FFXIII and metal gear solid 4, which may or may not be coming out for the 360 as well anyway. i dont have any next-gen. but im looking at 360s this summer. im a halo fan

I got the PS3 for MGS4 and Assasins Creed but it sucks now since there are only like 8 games

Long live the 360!

Well they were actually quite apologetic today about putting me through that. I was actually surprized since they were playing some decent metal when I first got there, but it didn't take long for them to switch it to dancy, alternative rock. I can't really blame them though, you can't dance too well to metal.

I just hope the next time I go, I might be able to enjoy myself.

If I go to a bar, it's to play some pool. That's about it. I'm not much of a drinking man, anyways.

Well unfortunately things haven't been going well for my brother once again. Supposedly his jaw isn't set probably so that it will heal the right way so he's currently in surgery. This surgery is for putting a metal plate along his jawline which will correct the problem they had with my brother's jaw.

Hopefully this will be the last operation he has to go through.

Man, I hate those incovenient things when they happen (especially when they warrant even more time and work on everyone's part).

More sensless and useless information from behind the veil of the POS.

Back in the day, when Pokemon was big, I thought i was cool by having the Digimon cards. Well, yesterday, i found a load of Digimon cards in my attic, and wow, I can't believe I brought them to my appartment for one. A two, they're still worthless. Oh well, Here's for Nostalgia!

Mallet- Hope your brother recovers quickly and successfully

For me, it was Spellfire cards (the AD&D attempt to leverage the Magic: The Gathering market). I have stacks of them- undoubtedly worthless. Oh well, maybe the grandsons' kids can get something for them. In 50 or 100 years...

Well his recovery does seem to be going nicely. He's all ready cursing at the TV as the wrestlers beat his character up in the WWE Game he recently got.

*sips on some terribly overpriced cappucino*

Yes, I'm alive. I've been busy up until school let out. I got my grades back and I somehow made an A on my trig final. All A's here! Man am I glad.

I just recently played an hour or so straight of Silent Hill 4: The Room. I need to finish the Silent Hill fanfiction I started.

Summer's been really slow for me.... I'm going to be so depressed and lonely when my boyfriend leaves for college. I'm really dreading that. I love him so much. He means so damn much to me. I don't know what I'll do, really. I'll just have to find another way to pass the time.

Saturday is going to be the highlight of the week... DMing another Dungeons and Dragons game. Last game was great, if not severely chaotic. But man was it draining on my mind.

I really need to get to writing and drawing. I have so many ideas it's driving me crazy that I'm not using any of them.

I have a headache, and I'm a little up past curfue on the internet, so I'll cut this short: Ooooooh Iiiiii..... Oh I'm still alive.

Congrats on making the grade,

Im taking trig right now in college..... Wow.

Zarr- welcome back. DMing can be fun (and exhausting) if you have a creative group..... Worst case, put some of your writing ideas to use in the DMing- that way you get "dual-use" out of them....

I think one of the guys dropped playing. I haven't heard from him every since he decided to be an immature jerk Monday. After Sunday I knew he was going to be a problem, arguing with me and insulting me.

All of my writing ideas are for my Silent Hill fanfiction. Doesn't work very well in the DnD world.

Yeah, I'm taking AP Calculus next year. Meh. Hopefully the people who copied off me in trig won't be there.... well, now that I think about it they won't, because they made horrible test grades. Mwahahaha. They ate coal and crapped out diamonds, but when it came to exams they failed with a PH.

Anyways, I need to apply to more places for jobs.

Nice to see you alive and well Zarrexaij.

For myself I've just been enjoying the new tunes I just recently purchased (to which I go into further detail where I usually do on Saturday. I need to listen to a few of these CDs very intensely). Once 10pm rolls around I'll be off to watch my favourite show, The Ultimate Fighter. So until then I'll just be browsing the internets and here.

Oh yea, and I'm definitely glad I got my oral presentation out of the way for my film ISU. Now my weekend will be relatively stress-free. I guess it depends on whether I want to get a head start on the essay portion of my ISU.

What are your goals zar, what do you want to do for a living?

I recommend something that puts you way out of the way of people, something quiet.

Huzzah for me! two subjects down, 4 and a half to go!
Stupid Leaving Cert....

Goooood Wolfie! Well done! Wish you all luck for the rest...ahh you´ll make it sweetie! I just know that...

Once I get Monday morning out of the way, it won't be so bad... taht one is Maths Paper 2... my most hated subject. Especially cause I was to stuborn to drop to Pass Maths and so am doing the much harder Higher Level Maths lol
