No! What's wrong, what have I done wrong? *sniffles*

It started because Diablo1 had free online play. I started hanging out with this super player who said he was a *real* vampire (Interview with a Vampire had come out already). I was in HS, it was cool. So he encouraged me out of Diablo and on to the regular internet (hey, it was still rather new then!) and into chat rooms. My friend picked up an internet gf and we picked up a couple of other people here and there (total count 6 I think). We were horrible, to be honest. Our ringleader was a menace (but lots and lots of fun!); he would drive people out of chat rooms so we would have the entire room to ourselves (black/dark rooms, of course) or call us in the middle of the night to wake up and meet in the chat rooms. The group fell apart when he & his gf broke up and started fighting all the time and I went off to college.
Every now and then I wonder what happen to those guys.
She may have staked him....
Pffft...six hours. I had a 10 hour round of zombies on Black ops.

I used to have 2 good friends online in 8th-9th grade, don't remember where from, found each other due to mutual obsession/love of the band Orgy... We'd chat every day about anything and everything. Then my mom said we couldn't afford AOL anymore, and I was tying up the phone lines too much. Ha! Back in oh, bout 1998. So lost contact with them, but sometimes I wonder what ever happened to 'em....
see, now I've got Blue Monday in my head :P Way to go, Kit!

I used to wonder why he wanted to be a vampire. He was a surfer dude type cutie with the long streaked blonde hair and everything. Looked like a total sun kind of guy. *shrug* It takes all types.
Surfer vampire. Puts me in mind of those Koontz books (my wife really loved these) about the surfer guy who has Xeroderma pigmentosum (he's allergic to light).
Omg I just read through this entire thread and I had to nod to just about every one of them. I'll add my own just to feel special....
You might be a nerd if you can list off the HD and DMG from over half of the monters manual without having to look at the book...
Another along those lines.... If you can generate a table top character without a character sheet or book and get all of the stats correct according to the rules...
As far as the WoW speak goes, I did that just a few days ago at the office. My cry of triumph 'Woot I pwn'd the copier' in response to victory over a paper jam...everyone looked at me like I was on crack. *sigh *sad face* No one seems to understand the word Woot for some silly reason.
As far as Buffy vs. Blade....I'm gonna have to take a side step and nominate Vampire Hunter D ..Old school anime ftw

It's like, what's so hard to understand bout woot? They have no problem understanding "Yea! or Woohoo!"... same concept... geez... lol

That is my husband right there. Nothing better than waking up at 4am to gunfire and cursing about how someone didn't cover their window. Good times, good times....
Exactly!! Woot sounds better than Woohoo too. I thought of a new one to add too...If you have ever wanted to add 'Ninja' to your resume.
I think if I had tried this at my current job they would have given me yet another random drug test. One would think after the fourth test they would realize I'm not on drugs I'm just 'special' at times.
However with the amount of sleep I get if I put Zombie on the resume they would all likely believe me. So on that note I'm off to bed before I'm at the point of making 'Sean of the dead' noises tomorrow. If I had a couple people for the back ground music it wouldn't be bad though...

OMG, I'm dying here, lol! I'm really crying. I've never wanted to add "Ninja" but that's only because I'd rather have "mage." :)
Wootini is so much better than a simple woot.
Also, pfft at adding ninja. That's just silly.
You're supposed to add Pirate to your resume, as everyone knows.

Hey, I'm sure there are plenty of short ninjas. :)
Ah. In hindsight that makes more sense. I don't know that I have official......oh

I'm an Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah, formerly a Sitter of the Hall

No, no, that's Elgee and was Kathana back in my day. *sniffs* *twitches skirts* *contemplates elaborate embroidery on skirts* *makes tea* *thinks about either bitterness or honey* *does something else to skirts* *rearranges shawl* *sniffs* *draws self up taller* *sniffs* *more extraneous information about tea* *embroidery* *sniffs* Blood and bloody ashes, that fool boy! *sniffs*
(Am I doing it right?)
I'll have you know my braid isn't nearly so thick, it's typically not over my shoulder, and I'm a Green, not a Yellow. Also, I think both my being a 120-year old Aes Sedai and my being a Green preclude blushing from ever happening, particularly over some woolheaded farmboy from the Two Rivers. *raises eyebrow*tea
Ooooh! THis is too funny! I wish I had have grown up near you guys. I never played fair or anything like that... ...Almost joined http://terredange.net/ but I just couldn't do it. I would need to get all social-y and I already do that with you guys.
Yeah, I'm trying to get started again on Dragonmount, but I spend so much time here that it's taking awhile...
Denae wrote: "Yeah, I'm trying to get started again on Dragonmount, but I spend so much time here that it's taking awhile..."Exactly...plus at Terre D'Ange you have to worry about your Companion being permanently attached to you. Eh, wasn't sure how hubby would feel about that, lol.

Me neither. I'm confused... lol
I'm glad you went Green. Unfortunately the whole battle of the sexes thing make all Aes Sedai very hard to be around....Nice shawl work though.
I'm red. But a nice red. Does that exist?
Dawn wrote: "I'm red. But a nice red. Does that exist?"Can reds be married?
I would have to be a blue, myself....
Are there polka dots and stripes too?
I could be a polka dotted stripe?

Not traditionally, but I'm a rule breaking rebel.
Reds hate men...even the less radical of them. Marriage might be difficult.Okay Ala, here (view spoiler)
Well, men are pretty yucky. Always leaving napkins around the house.
Tracey wrote: "The wench thing? Sorry! I used to go to the New York Renaissance Faire all the time. There are people who just go and have a good time and leave - and there are people who devote their lives to ..."Thanks very much for clearing that up for me :)
I've always wanted to go to a Renaissance Faire. There's one every year about an hour or so away from me, but so far we haven't been able to make it to it. I keep hearing ads on the radio though, I'm dying to go. I'm sure I would be a total nerd about it if I ever got the chance :D

I'm having to figure out a way to account for the fact that my warder quit about a year after I did and isn't around to RP. I think he's going to turn out to be in a coma.

Okay Ala, here [spoilers removed]"
I don't think they all hate men, they are just radically opposed to men channeling and don't take warders. Traditionally.
Marriage is, I believe, possible for any Ajah, but extremely rare, as are romances in general.
*taught classes at Dragonmount on the roles and duties of the Ajahs*
I don't know. Greens can be very romantic...they frequently have several Warders...not sure about husbands, probably only one of those.Don't remember a Red who didn't actually dislike men. I suppose some of them could simply be said do be condescending...
I wish this series hadn't been run into the ground with repetitiveness and excessive verbiage. Oh well, might have been, could have been.
The bond does not mean and rarely involves romance. Too tired to go into further detail, but had to make that point.We're the goddamned Battle Ajah ffs, having multiple warders makes us stronger weapons not sluts!
....did someone say it did......then again, I'm only a man so I might have missed something.
Err, no, no one here. Humorous intentions don't always come through well.
Excuse me I have a strange urge to have an eagle tattooed on my bicep..."Tai'shar!" [inanely waves fist over head]....
Awww, I wanna be a warder. I love that I understood every nuance of the last 40 or so posts :).
I've never been to a ren faire. For shame

Neither have I. *hangs head*Back on topic, you might be a nerd if this season of Torchwood plunges you into deep despair, but you still have John Barrowman on your desktop.
I've always wanted to go to a Renfaire. Just to see what it's like.
We should all go one year.

To our various local ones or the same one?
