Oh, sorry!

 

Heh, I don't even remember my age here, let alone the date. I must be one the old hermits with a metre-long unkempt grey beard and dressed in rags - in forum terms.

 

But, thank you!

I would boast about how thoughtful it is of me to have remembered the date, but I found it's LITERALLY right under our avatars. XD We've just all been so blind to it, our eyes skim over it most of the time. This whole forum layout has so many little details that you can easily miss. X3 Or not miss. Like that time I accidentally edited Rarity's own post instead of quoting it - deleting all he wrote and replacing it with my own random snot. XD Oops! It's okay! I learnt from my mistake! And Rarity thought he was tripping, so it was funny as all hell.

[Vapymid]

Now that you pointed it out - yeah, I must have gone blind to not see it... (Hmmm, why could that happen, I wonder??)

 

Oh, you - what's the term? - manifested through Rarity's post?

 

Regards

[Jeb_CC]

Yesss, I did. XP And soon, I'll have everyone's posts reflecting my own! Mwahaha!

 

XD Actually, how terrible would that be? Just go and edit everyone's latest posts to say something else, just re-write it all in Japanese or something. XP That'd be an awesome prank. But it'll probably get me 'fired'. So I'm not gonna do that. Rarity can give it a shot though. If he ends up disappearing from the forum, we can assume the outcome of his treachery was awful. XD

The best part about that too was I noticed right after I woke up so there was a period of time where I was just staring at my own post squinting in confusion wondering when I said any of that.

 

I think I'll pass on that though. XD

[Jeb_CC]

Mate, you must have had the worst timing for me then. XD I saw my mistake right after I edited your post, and you managed to see my error in less than 5 minutes afterwards. Dammit Rarity!! XD Gave me no time to fix it. It was hilarious though, I was messaging Kyou on Steam like an insane psycho going; "I FUCKED UP. I FUCKED UP. THEY'RE GONNA KILL ME. RARITY'S GONNA KILL ME."

So I went and made a game play video of

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW82C927Tfo I wanted to make a full series with this one but issues made themselves apparent while recording. I might try the sequel instead if it doesn't have the same problems.

For some reason I've been excited for Christmas all month.

For some reason I've been excited for Christmas all month.

 

Screw Halloween, where's the love for Thanksgiving and Christmas?

[Blightmare]

Normally I love Thanksgiving and Christmas but this year I'm not too excited. This may sound cold but those 2 holidays involve extended family for me and I don't want to see them right now. Currently my extended family is an absolute wreck and I'm not sure I can handle seeing that first hand.

[BTGBullseye]

I like many parts of Thanksgiving, but there are 2 I loathe...

 

1. Dishes. I almost always end up getting roped into doing dishes after doing a lot of the cooking.

2. Crowds. My sister's house is the only one big enough to accommodate my immediate family, and she tends to invite many others in addition, so it's usually very loud, and is talk about things completely uninteresting to me. (essentially: boring + noisy)

 

Christmas is similar, but at least there are presents to make up for it.

I tend to get a strange feeling at this time of the year. I associate it with the coming of the festive season, and it feels somewhat...spiritual. It sounds pretentious/childish, but the onset of autumn and the transition into winter in Britain gives off a kind of magical aura for me. Maybe it's a kind of nostalgia. But I've been feeling it pretty much every year since I was single-digits old.

 

It's a kind of winding down, relaxing and seeing your loved ones and all that jazz. Then again this is the first festive season I'll have not being in education, so maybe having a job will change all that.

Same here. I love autumn, especially all the colours, the shorter days, the Halloween...

[AP_Pastor]

While I don't get to experience autumn and winter (thanks to tropical climate) but the semestral break on late October does the trick for me. A well deserved break after a stressful semester and preparation for the next one. Christmas is okay, but like BTG, I never liked dealing with dishes and crowds.

[Jeb_CC]

Ehhh... I've NEVER been excited for Christmas before, really. XD It's just not fun to me. It just seems like another party or whatever. I'd rather spend Christmas just like every other day. X3 Actually, I dislike Christmas. XD I am the grinch apparently. All the shops close, I'm forced to talk to relatives who I hate with a passion, there's nothing to do, the food is usually horrible. And presents? I hate people buying me gifts, cause 90% of the time, it's something I'll never use. XD I just ask for money, but even then, I STILL get gifts that I'll never do anything with. Blarghh! Christmas... *shivers*

In other general news: new flat!

[Blightmare]

Nice! How are you enjoying it so far?

 

Also, silly question: Who else here actually uses the Quick Reply box? At this point I pretty much use only it, unless I'm editing a post or quoting someone. Just curious.

[AP_Pastor]

If I don't have to quote someone or post a pic or Youtube vid, I'd use Quick Reply like what I used just now.

[Psychotic Ninja]

I'm too lazy to use Full Editor... Quick Reply is just right there, plus I've memorized the more important BBCodes, so I have little to no need for Full Editor.

[Binky The Rabbit]

Rarity: It's good! My room is massive! Popping back to Arran for a night on Tuesday to get more of my stuff down here, to make the place more homely. Will put pictures up soon.

 

Also I'm using the Quick reply right now. I generally use it for convenience, but I also use the full editor for its preview feature, which I find very useful for the bigger posts I make, and when I use a lot of BBCode.
