They were on the motorcycle and somebody pulled out into them, just on a tiny road in the country too.
Idk why people don't care about motorcycles or watch what they're doing.

Yeah, donations to helpful causes are always good.

EDIT: so guys. my grandmother's back in the hospital. ;^;

I hope your grandma gets better :[
Also, nice on the kittens :3

So, I put a slim Xbox 360 on layaway at Game-X-Change this morning; after discovering my old Xbox Live account still exists (Since I had to use it to try out Windows 8 ). Once I have it paid off and setup here, I can give out my gamertag if anybody wants it

[Chocofreak13]

xbox has never appealed to me. the only thing making me want to learn how to use the controller is Lolipop Chainsaw, but even that's not enough of a pull. >>;

Well, I left Stew's place this morning at 5am. ;-; So sad... but I should be happy that we were able to visit at all, since it seemed impossible just a few months ago.

Right now I'm in the Amtrak terminal at Union station.

[Pitkin]

Have a good return trip, B.

[Bella]

Thanks, i'll try to. The hardest part is over, at any rate.

@Bella: Sounds like you had fun ^_^

[Bella]

Well, I was just welcomed back to Boston by a raving 60 year old woman who wouldn't stop following me and telling me about the conspiracy to steal her meds.


It's good to be home.

[Nichi]

@Bella: LOL ^_^;;
BTW, *points to Retrocomputing thread*

So, today I attempted to raid the two local pawn shops for games to resell to help knock down what I owe on the 360...and instead ended up coming home with 2 games I'm keeping (Sin & Punishment 2 for Wii and Metroid Prime 2 for Gamecube). Didn't go like I planned, but hey; Metroid Prime 2 for $1. Can't complain :3

[Bella]

Lol? I was half afraid she was gonna shiv me in the elevator.....

Andddd now a woman asked me to watch her bags... she better be back by 6...

[Nichi]

Ok, now it's starting to get weird :\

You need a "me" as a bodyguard. I'm not as effective as Stew \ Kari \ Nejin \ etc. would be, but it's better than being alone :3

@bella: welcome back. protip: don't EVER make eye contact with ANYONE. and if they follow you, run. if you're confined (or can't run), equip a distraction: cell phone, tablet, music, etc. just make sure to keep a tight grip on it, lest they try to steal it for drug money.
also, if you plan to frequent the city but don't feel quite safe, i'd reccomend tracking down a whistle like the one i have on my necklace. i love mine. -w-

@pent: one of the fun things about window shopping is finding stuff you never anticipated. ^^

my grandmother called me from the hospital today. she sounds alright, but tired. ;v;

[Nichi]

@Kari: Hopefully she'll be back out soon ^_^

So, it sounds like my grandma might have her store sold. Last I heard, it's pretty much in the hands of the real estate agent now; the people looking to buy are serious about it, unlike everybody else before. It's a little sad that she's getting rid of it, but this means she can finally retire like she's always talked about :3

When I had to go to the Tampere centre in the evenings in Finland, I used to always be very afraid, and indeed avoided eye contact with everyone. A rather funny related anecdote from where I live currently in France: Fedora-Tan and I were outside after dark once last year and were crossing a park (a total no-no for me), when we also crossed a young man there. I cannot describe the surprise I felt when the man and Fedora-Tan both said "good evening" to each other without anyone really stopping. I can nearly guarantee that if a man greets another man in a Finnish city at night especially during a weekend, they'll get stabbed or run away from.

Since then I've started to greet people in the street as well, but it's a bit different still during the daytime. ^^;;;
