Topicless thread

[Aurora Borealis]

I wish I could go to that hypothetical OSC convention, but too bad I live 800+ miles away from everyone else!

Sounds like you have a really cool name, Bella!

[NejinOniwa]

Hey, I live an entire ocean away, and it sure as hell didn't stop me. -w-

Then again, few things do... -w-;

[Chocofreak13]

^^ someday....

@bella: NO YOUR NAMES ARE NOT OBVIOUS I'M RATHER OBLIVIOUS MONKEY CHIKEN COW

i like the outdoors. ^^ i guess i'm ok w/ camping, dun know what was going through my mind when i posted that. but i have a bad back so i don't like sleeping on the ground >____< and i is not ok with going to bathroom behind trees. ;___;

but i love exploring woods and the like. most of my time spent at said larps involves exploring the forgotten trails and secret spots of the place. :3

the japan trip is (hypothetically) 1.5 weeks in august, probably during O-Bon. (early aug.)
Dee-Lite was from the 90's, dear~


and i'm about 5'11" too .___.

@nejin: exactly! COME BACK NEJIN WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE BEACH AND YA CAN SIT IN THE TRUNK owo
@everyone else:
OSCONVENTION.

[Bella]

@Aurora: I'd like to think my name is awesome, if only because it's not uber-common.
@Choco: C'mon, a little googling would probably clear things up. :V
The one thing that's always disturbed me the most about camping is lack of bathrooms. There's a lot of things I can put up with, a LOT, but lack of bathrooms is not one. ><;

OMG, I love exploring the woods too! ^^ Hmph, I thought they were from the late 80s through the early 90s.

Really? Now I feel like a little person. ;; (I'm 5'6'', but can easily do 5'7'' or 5'8'' on heels or in boots or whatever. People tend to think I'm "tall", I don't get it.)

Oh yeah, and in case I forgot to mention: I'M DOG FFFFCKKING SICK. The Complainer must've given me his cold. ><;;;

[Alex S]

Since this is Topicless...

Why have I never seen the phrase "made of Win and pancakes" tossed around ever?

[stewartsage]

You really do like to read, don't you? I dun get the avatar. ;.;

Tennessee, eh? I'm going off to tour the Northeast in a little over a month now... in early July. Which means weeks worth of internet-inaccess, but when I do return I shall have AWESOME TALES TO TELL and photographs too~!

Somehow I always thought you name was Nathan. Ye must've mentioned it... know you mentioned the McDonald part before.

Um... all my names are very ungeneric... my first name is some old Latinized name from an Ethiopian title meaning "queen mother" and its a lovely name but people like shortening it to "Candy" or "Dacey" and thus pissing me off. The middle one was given to me by my brother after the lead singer of a rather strange 1980s dance band called Dee-Lite and my last name... well, let's just say it's wildly stereotypically Russian-sounding. And this is AFTER my great-grandfather changed it from "Barrowskivitch".

Motorhoming, it combines the fun of being outdoors with the comfort of staying in a hotel/apartment. I like the outdoors (otherwise I wouldn't be an avid walker/hiker/snowboarder/biker/swimmer/kayaker) but it's nice having a shower and microwave and warm bed to come back to at the end of the day. That being said, I do get why tenting appeals to a lot of people...

You really tall. :V

Yessss, very much.  Binghamton Whalers hockey!

Hopefully, one of my best friends from high school lives there now.  AND YOU BETTER SHOW AND TELL!

Maybe? Mhmm, that I know.

Your first name.  I knowz it.

Its the comradarie and the songs.  And frequently uncomfortable sleeping conditions.

Not especially ^^'

i used to know a guy named jon, and john was my uncle's name, but everyone called him jack. :3 he was nice, i heard. ^^

i am used to larps so camping at campgrounds i've gotten used to. it's the whole dirt-in-your-bed thing that gets to me a bit. and FUKIN MOSQUITOS I'M BARELY OUTSIDE YET I'M COVERED IN BITES RIGHT NOW WTF >:V

mosquitos should not exist, nor green flies. >___<

Awesome.  Nobody ever calls me Jack though, guess it doesn't really fit.

Apparently there's a larp group where I go to school, which tempts me to take my full gear loadout.  Because nothing says fantasy roleplaying like BDU's and an M16.  TINY BUGS ARE THE WORST, NATS AND THE LIKE ><

Indeed.

The pool here was a bubbling broth of greenish-brown water (iron from the well reacted with the chemical cleaners) but it seems to have cleared up... it was strange swimming in it, though. Couldn't even see my feet, it was so murky. o.o But we have a lot of rivers and ponds around here to go swimming in too...

Really? Now I feel like a little person. ;; (I'm 5'6'', but can easily do 5'7'' or 5'8'' on heels or in boots or whatever. People tend to think I'm "tall", I don't get it.)

Funny camping/water quality story time.  Two years ago where I went to scout camp, they'd built the whole shebang in the basin of an abandoned iron mine from the 1800's.  There was still a lot of iron in the ground.  Everywhere there was a tap, it was stained red-brown from the iron content.  Which isn't terribly dangerous but not terribly pleasant either.  Also, it almost made me punch a guy for being a smart ass.

That's pretty decently tall, even without boots or heels.  Maybe you're just imposing.

Oh no!  Allergies acting up here, but only intermitently poor.

Why have I never seen the phrase "made of Win and pancakes" tossed around ever?

Good question

[NejinOniwa]

Because win is obviously made of fire and explosions, which would burn the pancakes and make them not delicious and therefore not win, thus ruining the metaphor.

Also, on Bella's name: Curious, I ventured to Wikipedia for answers, and soon found myself enclosed in a grave wikiwalk encompassing mostly chinese things. (I seem to do this a lot recently)

[Chocofreak13]

wiki walks are alsmost as nice as real ones. you learn stuff you never even knew you wanted to know!! xD

@bella: i still don't know it. and there there dear, *hug* summer colds suck but take some nyquil and you'll be fine. just don't go into school like that, i've learned my lesson on that one already ^^;

were they from then? all i know is that their big hit was circa 1996. ANOTHER THING TO WIKI WALK~!

hope you feel better. :[ i should bring you down here (my house OR bro's house), there's lots of woods to explore. ^^
you're taller than my mom.....

@stew: most of the camping i do is either on people's couches, in their cars or during larps, which nine times out of ten = indoor plumbing. as long as i have a roof over my toilet, and my pillow to sleep with, i can survive anywhere. ^^

gotta love the iron oxide in the water. used to make pottery with it. and since there was some left over on my fingers when i went to lunch, i have learned that it is tangy. :3

so guize, after getting bored/frusterated with the damn flash program crashing every 5 seconds, i decided to satiate my curiosity and look up the meaning of the names i'd like to give prospective children. so far, i have
milo: merciful (male, german/english origin)
vincent: conqueror (male, english origin)
simon: hear/listen (male, hebrew/english origin)
charlotte: manly (female, french/english origin, feminine form of charles, sometimes meaning feminine)
samantha: listen, name of god (female, hebrew origin)
ophelia: help (female, greek origin, from the word ophelos)

EDIT: if i have a girl, i was gonna name her charlotte, but have the middle name be meiji, which means "peace and enlightenment".

yeah lack of bathroom is a death threat for me too D:

*hugs bella* get well soon ;_;




since people have been giving names i think it's fair i give mine too.

It's ALWIN. \o/

which i googled and means something like Elf Friend. too bad i don't wanna be JUST FRIENDS with em delicious Elves

oh and i was staying over at a friend's house during the weekends and we tried to do an all nighter with fatal frame 4. We had mac and cheese and a ton of tacos for snacks, all made by me. \o/

too bad we got knocked out by 4-5 am XD

[stewartsage]

Pillows are for the weak.  Or the sane.  Or even the semi-sane, pretty much everbody to be honest, though folded blanket are my preferred head rest.

Interesting, Charlotte's a good name (as it graces two of my laptops) but I'm pretty partial to Lydia, Abigail, Katharine, Samuel, John (Cue "Tradition" from Fiddler on the roof), and Freel.

But all they'd do would be make cryptic comments at you Zen D:

[Chocofreak13]

zen, i like your name. :3
stew: i like old-fashioned names, and old-fashioned stuff, for that matter. laughabally enough (sp?) i even use the old-fashioned method at school when multiplying binomials. ^^;

and, i can't sleep without this pillow. IT'S A CHUNK OF MY SOUL~~~
srsly, it is, and i freak a bit if anyone goes near it. it's weird, ik, but i figure everyone needs something precious to them and them alone that they feel the need to protect. for me, it's my pillow and plushies, for without them, i wouldn't be here talking to you about camping today.

[Bella]

This thread, it's made of win and pancakes. Wikiwalks are also... made of WIN AND PANCAKES.

Nyquil? NEVAR! I face my colds like a man, grrr~! Those are some lovely names there... especially Charlotte, Ophelia and Milo, and Vincent's really nice too. Classic names seem to be more forgiving and adaptable than the modern or trendy ones...

I really like the names Leander, Evangeline, Naomi, Malachi and Opal, oh, and Julia/Julian too. Hopefully if I adopt a kid someday s/he will come pre-named though, because I wouldn't want to stick a kid with a name s/he'll hate for the rest of her/his life. >.>

Hmph, you have to come up here and do some forest-walking! We hueg lakes and mountains and Notches and all those fun things.

Iron tastes like blood. Or maybe blood tastes like iron? It's scary that I know exactly how each tastes... D:

Larps sound like so much fun. :V

Pillows? I've four, yes FOUR pillows and without each and every one I cannot get a good nights sleep. Well, maybe I could get by with three...

Yessss, very much.  Binghamton Whalers hockey!

Hopefully, one of my best friends from high school lives there now.  AND YOU BETTER SHOW AND TELL!

Maybe? Mhmm, that I know.

Your first name.  I knowz it.

Right right right!

Always fun visiting old friends, this happens a lot for me on my summer vacation. YES! OF COURSE.

Clever guy! The second is fairly obvious too...

No amount of camaraderie can make up for uncomfortable sleeping conditions. ><;

Meh, I consider anything taller than 5'8'' "tall" and anything less than 5'5'' to be "short", man or woman. ^^;;

At least the campers weren't plagued with anemia! To the questionable water story bandwagon: I met a guy who's grandfather used to take him water skiing... in Boston Harbor. During the 1970s. He admits it probably wasn't such a hot idea...

You think? ' ' I try to be as imposing as I can, bwahaha.

Allergies aren't fun. ><;;

*hugs bella* get well soon ;_;

since people have been giving names i think it's fair i give mine too.

It's ALWIN. \o/

Thankee, it's not too terrible... it only hurts when I BREATHE, so yeah...

Alwin's a nice name. ^^

Sounds like fun. :B

[zjhentohlauedy]

lol i have 3 pillows. 2 regular rectangular one and a hot dog one D:

one of em is powerpuffgirls themed..... >_>

<_<

and you can bet alwin is a nice name. i mean it says it all.. All win |D

[NejinOniwa]

Meh, I consider anything taller than 5'8'' "tall" and anything less than 5'5'' to be "short", man or woman. ^^;;

6'0, as I am, is not all that tall - at least over this side...

All win |D

Why you little... -w-

[Chocofreak13]

see, zen wins. kari means "light" in the japanese sense and "pure" in the scandinavian sense.

i be about 5'10-11" w/o boots. my boots have a 3" heel. :3

@zen: there's no shame in PPG. i myself was a hugeass fan back in the day......and still have the poster....and dolls.....and books.....and movie.....
and still read the fanfic
and have the rave song. xD

@Bella: i like the names evangeline and naomi. i named the dolly i made evangeline. ^^ leander is cool too
and my psudonym is "julie thompson". xD it's the name on my email and i sometimes use it for personal info. i used it to get a free song from the govt. w/o signing up for military service or something. ^^;
well, you make take your colds like a man bella but YOU COULD WIN THIS FABULOUS CAR IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!

srsly, i went into school hopped up on nyquil once. literally told a teacher to "go with the flow". my sis was taking care of me (along with her boyfriend at the time, ben, whom i now consider my brother) cause my parents were in europe, and the school called her and told her never to send me in like that again.... ^^;
