This is really just another pointless thread. They're just so much fun though! The whole time-zone thing on the forum messes me up so badly!! It'll be 3 in the afternoon here and 10 at night on the computer!! So....

What country is everyone from???

I'm from Canada...Eh? Seriously no one here talks like that. We just love making fun of it though.

I actually like NJ, I live about 20 min. away from the pine barrens (sandy pine and cedar forests, with miles of beautiful cedar water rivers that are great for canoeing, kayaking, and hiking) so I'm not stuck in the nasty, smoggy parts of the state. Besides, the boardwalks and salt water taffy are enough- in my mind- to make up for the smog. :p

I swear my school never closes. The only time I have ever in my entire life heard of it closing was it got so cold the heating went and the pipes in the gym burst. The gym was flooded with water. And they only got the day off!The only thing that happens was when we were little we weren't allowed outside if it was under -25. And if it was even a little over they forced us outside and if we complained they told us we should wear more winter gear. We were run by evil evil people!!!

Elenya,

Where in Alberta are you from?

4 hrs from Edmonchuck sounds like either Grande Prairie, Peace, Jasper, Slave, or maybe to the NE?

And C'mon Alberta's not that bad is it? Once you get a car and get mobile there are some pretty decent places to go.

Or you could subscribe the credo that the only good thing about AB is that it's close to BC.

JoA

Hey, do you remember the splatter from the roller coaster in West Ed Mall? Let us not forget the Ghermisian's lack of attention there!

elenya

01-21-2002, 11:28 PM

It's this really small town, Fort McMurray? No one's ever heard of it unless you live in Alberta. I guess once I get a car it won't be so bad but even then there's not much to do. Even if you do go down to Edmonton it takes so long. Even more so now that the roads are iced over.:(

But the point is by the time I'll have enough money to buy a car I'll be moving to Montreal. Can't wait for that!

But the West Ed roller coaster stops being fun after you've rode it so many times.

I should shut up. This is baisically me complaining. It's just so true though!

JoA, you seem to know alot about Alberta! Either that or I'm just not usd to people knowing about the small towns up here. Do you live here too?

Can it be that I'm the only representative from Southern California here? I live in "Surf City" (aka Huntington Beach). Not that you would ever catch old Rushlight here on a surfboard!

I live just a half mile from the shore. I can smell the ocean and the smoke of the firepits (maybe even get a whiff of a hot dog cooking) in the evenings. If I drive 50 miles I can hike Mt. Baldy (elevation 10,000 ft.). 100 miles will get me to Mexico, the Mohave desert and Joshua Tree. Oh yeah, and skiing in the local mountains.

I've lived here all my life, and would probably be considered wussy by the heartier folks in the midwest and Canada.

I'm stuck in the smack dab in the center of the Midwest (you know the middle of the United States). Someday it is my intention to hike throughout the British Isles and Ireland. I would just love to live someplace so lush and green as the Shire! However, there are certain aspects of the Midwest that remind me of the Shire and its habits. Its really funny to figure them out (especially in individual people you know!:D)

Hey Mormegil, Plymouth's not that bad. I've done a bit of sailing in and out of there, and along the coast to the Helford River.

Isilme, you obviously don't know what heat is! Sometimes in summer it gets to around 45 degrees Celsius. I live nowhere near the beach and the pool is always over-crowded. We have no air-conditioner, just puny little fan. The computer overheats and I can't go on here *sigh*. Never ever wish for heat, you won't know what you are getting yourself into. The sweat just drips off of you, and then you have a cold shower, and you feel great! And then about half an hour later you are sweating like a pig once more.

I'd just love to go to Australia and see some real kangaroos there but I live VERY far from that place. And I belive the climate is quite different here in Estonia as well. Snow in the winter (or pehaps not, now that we have the global warmening and all) and nice beach-weather in the summer. And we have no mountains. And if anyone doesn't know then Estonia is in Europe. And we have many-many small islands (not as much as Sweden has, though).
I live in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Come and visit!

You dont get roasted. You can go to certain parts of Aus and get snow. And you can go to other parts and getr temps around 25 degrees celcius which is the lowest it gets. It is cool you get to go to the beach and do s`tuff all the time.

You are wrong Korhall, it only has six of the eight biological requirements to be a living organism. Thence, hair cannot be classified as an organism, and even if hair was living, the hair itself would not be an organism, the cells would be, so korhall, you are wrong.

korhall

06-03-2002, 05:16 PM

I wasn't saying your character was wrong, I wasn't saying that your creation was wrong.
I was saying that it seemed that you did not make her name "pheonix" intentionally. It seemed as if you just didn't know how to spell.

Since it was intentional, more power to you and your character.

But that is actually NOT elementary. Because it's an actual word andnot a name most people who see that you spelled it wrong would assume it's because you can't spell. If it was, for example, the name Emily and you spelled it Emilie, or Emma-Leigh, we wouldn't question it because there are many known spellings of such things. Even Pippin/Frodo's "Kelsy" escapes most scrutiny. I assume that's just how she chose to spell it even though the popularly accepted spelling is "Kelsey". The point is that because "phoenix" is a word with no alternate spellings it is assumed that you spelled it wrong.

Since you did it on purpose, (so you say) then kudos. And congrats on the characterness.

Anyone been to little'ol Australia? It's a wonderful place with all the kangaroos (road kill) and the fluffy koalas.
With the beautiful landscapes and the dessert and the threat of cyclones every 9 months up north? (Where i live!)

I've not been to Australia...just the name makes me sad...
Every since the cute Aussie down the street moved out I've been in mourning...
I'd walk by his house just on the off chance I might get to hear him talk...

Lol! So was it the accent you liked better or the person wonko???

Wonko The Sane

10-08-2002, 02:33 AM

No! I didn't know the person...didn't get a chance to...it was purely physical or in this case aural...see...I think the screaming forum for where I explain that it's not JUST the accent...

*and is suddenly overwhelmed by something and cannot keep her thoughts straight...* Must run!

I don't know what it is about our (Aussie's) accents that are so.................................loveable! I'm beginning to dislike my accent. I've been stuck with it for the pas 15 nearly 16 years and it is getting rather boring. I think i might go and live in Ireland for a couple of years. They've got cool accents. But anyway. I think i've lead this discussion whay off track.

It's not just Aussie accents that are lovable...it's Irish, Scottish and ESPECIALLY English. :)

For example...Sean Biggerstaff...(Oliver Wood in the Harry Potter movies) and Jamie Oliver (The chef from Oliver's Twists on The Food Network) they make me want to lick the television...
:rolleyes: Not that I would...

No..I haven't. But I'm dying to go. ALL the boys over there talk like heaven. It'd be perfect!!

As far as New England goes, WHERE in NE are you from?
I have many friends from the Boston area. :D And my roommate is from the Chicago area, plus I go to college not far from Chicago!

... from Germany? I only read until page 7, but no Germans until then,
(apart from some german speaking Austrians)...

I hope you don't have such old prejudices against germans like we
we're nazis, cause I think, Germany has in percentage the most anti - fascists in the world, like me... ;)

Excuse my English, please... :D

Snaga

10-14-2002, 11:53 PM

Hey Ramagna

No prejudices here... well except against your football team!:D * cough * 5-1 * cough cough *:D As you probably just guessed... I'm from England;)

There are some other Germans here. Hirila is from Germany.

10-15-2002, 08:53 PM

Hehe...But I WAS! I'm such an excellent football player!!

*rolls eyes* Hehe...I played football in middle school and I sucked sooo bad.
We have a video of 13 year old me running around at our championship game and being really really bad at it all!

AAH! I have an Astronomy test to study for! Where did the time go!?

Ramagna

10-16-2002, 02:03 PM

Sorry, Snaga and Wonko the Sane,
I'm not interested in football THAT much...

And no, not all Germans are bavarians and wear leather shorts and drink a lot of bear... ;)

When you're from England, you'll probably know
the speakers corner in London, the funniest english place I know, except from where you're football teams do their practice, perhaps... :D

Yeah Speakers Corner is a crazy place. Mostly populated by people preaching against some obscure injustice (and the emphasis is more on the obscure). There was one priest who apparent preached there 5 days a week for about 50 years. Can't remember his name. On the other hand, if you've ever been there when the great British tradition of protesting is in full swing, and seen 250,000 people pouring past you, it is quite something. Being a Londoner at least by birth, I love Speakers Corner!:) Yay London!

I like Germany. I've been to the Rhineland, near Koblenz etc. Beautiful! I love that you've got Lorelei's rock. How cool is that?!:D

Hey Merry that was the best joke you've ever said. Mainly because it was mine, hohohoho.

Actually Germany is a very nice place, at least it was when I went to Lemgo, it was very clean. Thats what I remember most, In England, especially in Hull, theres just rubbish cluttered everywhere but in Germany it was Spotless, even the school playground was clean, it was amasing!

Snaga

10-16-2002, 08:28 PM

Ah yes Legoman. That is the legendary efficiency of the German people for you.

Anyway, yes to repeat my previous point. I dont stereotype anyone.

* looks around * What?

Wonko The Sane

10-16-2002, 10:08 PM

What's Speakers Corner?

And Galdor, do you know a girl named Margie who was a cheerleader and goes to school in Indiana now?
She's from Nebraska. :) The End.

legoman

10-17-2002, 03:23 PM

I'm with you snaga, stereotyping is bad!!!! If you do that you misunderstand so many cool people.

Snaga

10-17-2002, 06:26 PM

Speakers Corner is a corner of Hyde Park in Central London, sorta near Marble Arch. People go there to rant and rave about whatevers on their mind. Hyde Park is cool because it has its own lake called the Serpentine which is just an blatently cool name for a lake. Along it runs Park Lane. I wasn't necessarily impressed to see that all the ultra-luxurious hotels on Park Lane now incorporate car showrooms, all selling RRs, Jags, Ferraris and the like. Nearby is Green Park, which is a nicer park I think. Thats just down from the Ritz, which is an obvious choice when one is hungry.

Nebraska? Sounds cold to me. I was just gonna say 'Yay Fargo!' (cool film) but I now discover that that was Minnesota not Nebraska. Oh well. That means Galdor doesn't have that curious and engaging accent.:(

Ok..that'd be cool except that Fargo is actually in North Dakota... :rolleyes: But they DID have Minnesotan accents...and I never saw the movie...so I don't know WHY it was called Fargo...but Fargo is in North Dakota...THE END.
Hehe...my friend from College, Katy, is from Minnesota and SHE talks like that.
I do an excellent immitation! :)

You know what a funny thing happened to me at Speakers Corner?
I stood there and listened to someone wearing horns on his head for hours, cause he was so witty, and the bus with we (school class) were there left without me... ;)
