The 'What happened to you today' thread

Florida is HOT. Humidity is killer. And it's the only place I know of that where it can by warm and rainy at the same time.

You know how the nords have a natural resistance to frost? Floridians are kinda the opposite to that. Youre lucky you missed the swamp where the mosquitoes are in abundance. Theyll bite through your shirt.

And hes not kidding about miami only speaking spanish. If you go to a wal mart or a publix there theyll tell you your total in spanish. "Gracias por compro en la publix!"

I hate Florida. I just though I'd throw that out there. I've lived there, incredibly briefly, twice in my life. Once in Miami in a tiny camper and another time in a really nice house with my step-grandmother in Winterhaven. I hated it. Oh gods.. I hated it. Oh, and I was in Jacksonville for one night when I went to MEPS back in 2003. That particular trip wasn't so bad..

Anyway.. few years ago I went to Disney World. Unfortunately I had limited time so we took speedy tour through every area except for Animal Kingdom. You're right, Kestral, Sourin' is amazing. I was actually there just shortly after it was opened, so at the time it was brand new.

I think my parents walked through a swamp area on a golf course. My dad's legs made him look like he had a disease from the bites.

@Cacti-Man
I hope that camper had AC. :o

Some people can talk on and on, and today, I just want to crush these people. It was more of a speech than a conversation.

Most of today so far and a fair bit of yesterday I spent role playing. 'twas my first try at Dragons and Demons which, if I've been correctly informed, is pretty much like D&D. 'twas also my first try at a socially capable character, the other three characters I've role played has been; a city-loathing pseudo vampire, a mentally ill highland(i.e Scottish) elf who wore only a beret and a huge axe on her back and lastly a duchess who's the youngest in a group of 13 siblings, has just lost pretty much all of her money in a scandal and is also a very accomplished spearwoman.
This time around I chose to play a courtesan which was very fun. I refused to fight since my character believed she'd get killed right away if she got in front of someone with a pointy piece of metal but on the other hand I could convince people to do things, bluff, seduce people, dance, sing very well and my best skill with an epic score of 17 was hypnotise.
Unlike the other players I was never even close to getting killed, so whereas everyone else was inches from dying and one guy actually died twice but got possessed by a demon and hence survived anyway I could always jump around all healthy and whole.
We started playing yesterday around 7pm maybe and finished the first mission this morning around 11am sometime. Hence I'm quite tired at the moment and also a bit sad as I found out that my German masochist is leaving two days earlier than he originally assumed which means we'll be apart 27 days.

I'm also sad since my eyes are hurting but this has nothing to do with a lack of sleep. Whatever happened to our deal Cactus!?

On the way to Brighton yesterday I encountered a massive traffic jam on the M25 just past Caterham. I was wondering what had caused it for a few minutes then I saw the cause - a BMW driver and a van driver having a fight on the hard shoulder and everyone slowing down to watch.

[Codex]

No wonder. I'd slow down too to see a BMW driver get his backside kicked.

[r]

Same with a van driver to be honest, I imagine the fight was caused by one aggressively tailgating or cutting up the other but I could not hazard a guess as to which way round it was, either one seems likely.

On the subject of Beemers I saw the most ridiculous personalised numberplate ever too - it said BMW 330I. I know you've got a BMW 330i. It already says so on the back of your car.

ppl with those sort of cars are all as bad as each other personally. i saw a fight between a cyclist and car driver the other day, i knew i shouldnt look but i cudnt help it!

[leroybrown]

I hate you all.

[videogmer314]

I hate you all.

[Cactus]

I hate you all.

Interesting. Why, sir?

[Dark Lord Cam]

I hate you all.

why, thank you.

[leroybrown]

That comment was for the BMW haters.

[r]

I don't hate the cars*, just the people who drive them... I thought a finely-tuned German driving machine wasn't your sort of thing anyway, Leroy?

* Apart from the X5, which is just a very tall and expensive 5-series, and the 316d which is a shockingly slow car - even a BMW will be bad if it's got a 1.6-litre paraffin stove under the bonnet.

[leroybrown]

One of the reasons im happy to leave the auto world is ill finally be rid of that arguing. To hear people argue which auto company is better than the other is brutal. Dont allow yourself to get roped into that, and if you see it, dont listen or you will be dumber. Due to my past im often around people like that, i once heard an argument over honda vs chevy and i am not lying when i say by the time they settled the argument i forgot how to divide.

To answer your question ive more class than to stick to a few makes. From honda to chevy to bmw i can appreciate a good body on any make.

[Dark Lord Cam]

sometimes its hard to tell if you are talking about the car or the girl in the picture

though you probably mean both.

Anyway...

Oh, well, I feel much better now.
And today I've lain on the floor laughing, 'twas quite fun.

[ironmaiden83]

I dyed my hair red. It's drying now from the rinsing off, and it looks like I'm just gonna have a few red streaks here and there at the roots. Fail.

Earlier this week my cat had to be put to sleep. He had leukemia.

[Caz]

Sorry to hear about that IM It's always sad when you have to part from your furry friends, especially because of something like cancer

[Teinaava]

Today I told my mom that I'm a zoo. She took it slightly better than I thought she would, but that's most likely because she thinks it's "a phase", or something. Oh well, at least she wasn't too condemning.

[Leilah]

Today my account was deleted from another forum I frequent, for the second and third time, and for no discernable reason (I thought the mixup had been cleared up after the first deletion), and it looks like now I've been banned, also for no reason I can think of.

[Dogmantra]

Meh. Even if it is a phase, you're a zoo at the moment, so what difference does it make? You might change in the future, but what harm will it do having been one (and declared it) before? That irritates me so much when people insist that unusual sexualities are "just a phase". It's like saying you shouldn't tell people your favourite band, because it's "just a phase" and you'll snap out of it!
