Title: This is what my life has come to...
Post by: Carrot98 on February 22, 2010, 07:13:04 PM
 Hello everyone...*sigh*...I'm hoping this forum will fill the void in my heart that I normally use chocolate and sarcasm to do.

Seems like these days everyone has something to keep them occupied with. Last week I discovered this was forums. So I set out three days ago to find one and go figure, I ended up on a f****** geek forum. Not that this is something I can deny. I like video games, computers and art...which, until four years ago, was mostly anime.
Allow me to briefly explain why I chose to seek out a forum, cause I'm thinking it might amuse some. I was living with my boyfriend in between college. I lost my job, we broke up, I moved back in with my aunt and now I'm stuck in a tiny bedroom in a house full of kids and all i can do every single day is babysit... this forum may very well save my life if things go smoothly.

So be nice to me! My life is currently the tits.  :x

WAIT!  
1) Tits are a good thing!
2) There is no such thing as a girl on the internet - only FBI agents posing as girls so as to entrap pedophiles.  How long have you been with the FBI?
C) I don't always use numbered lists
4) Please don't use font colors.
5) I NEVER welcome new people because they rarely stick around past 10 posts or so
6) hi

Yeah, the green is a little hard to read.  But anyway, welcome.  Sorry you're life isn't as you'd like it to be right now.  And good for you for trying to do something to make yourself happy instead of just whining about it.  I hope you've found what you're looking for here.  Make it to 11, will ya?


No one has ever accused me of being an agent.  What's up with that?

I know! You and I, like, trained together.

But welcome, Carrot! I agree with what the others said, the green is a bit hard to read, and most people here just stick with the default colors. I certainly hope you don't turn out like certain st00bs *coughcoughArnoxcoughcough* :)

Hope things get better for you. We're always here to lend a sarcastic remark or seven.

I don't mind the green. It's my fav color. Either that, or blue -- there's been a significant blue-shift lately.

Is that Penn Jillette in the photo with you?

And Detta -- I remember the first time you ever said something nice to me, way back in like '03 I think it was. You had that same anime chick as your avatar and sig. You were the Queen of HN, and I somehow managed to amuse you. I had no idea whether you were 9 or 99, but I was guessing... FBI agent.

You will always be my first.

Imagine ivan's dismay when he inevitably discovered that Detta was a 47 year old male FBI agent with two ex-wives and an ulcer.

5) I NEVER welcome new people because they rarely stick around past 10 posts or so

Why is that?

It took me like 4 years to get 50 posts to post to the hardware thread.  Back in the day there were like 2 posts I REALLY wanted to post to but I didn't want to spam posts since I'm not a one sentence kind of poster and I went away.

Now I'm back until I get bored again because I'm bored and have cabin fever and nothing else to do.

Carrot, this forum is really a unique forum I think because nearly everyone here knows everyone else(or so it seems) and most threads are like chess games played by mail.

 Really? The green doesn't seem so hard for me to read. I think this makes it safe to assume I was secretly engineered with bionic eyes.

Anyway thanks for the support guys! I may be a girl but I'm definitely a geek...well I have a lot of wicked geeky habits anyway. Like, of course, playing video games...which is almost the air I breathe. OH while i'm typing, does anyone know how to beat that f*****g second colossus on Shadow of the Colossus?

And Detta...thanks for being another girl on here <3

Demosthenes your avatar looks like Phil Sebben. Love it!

You guys using the light theme or the dark one?  I think that's the diff.

Man, I ought to get rid of one theme. I'm going to flip a quarter. Heads you lose, tails I win.

Post by: Min on February 23, 2010, 10:17:34 AM
Can I have the quarter when you're done with it?

If you get rid of the dark theme, I'm leaving again.
Title: Re: This is what my life has come to...
Post by: Probie on February 23, 2010, 11:22:50 AM

I'm in the dark theme, but I can still see it. I'm awesome.

Curiously yesterday on facebook one of the ads targeted to me was about joining the FBI.  I checked my settings and yes, I'm a man in my 40s.  They truly are recruiting us to pose as teen girls on the internet.  So the question is, after I get out of Quantico, what should my new login name be here?

The first and last name of the girl you are impersonating, of course.

You think they're going to let you out of Quantico?

After what you've posted in here?
Title: Re: This is what my life has come to...
Post by: pbsaurus on February 23, 2010, 04:49:57 PM
That's why I'd have to have a new login.  Plus the Pbsaurus one will be posting in different threads at the same time to throw the pedophiles off.

does anyone know how to beat that f*****g second colossus on Shadow of the Colossus?

I'd ive you some advice but I forgot which one that is.  If its the guy at the bottom of that valley thing or something, the spider one?

Its been to long.

Just head over to gamefaqs.com or something and read a walkthrough or goto youtube and watch a fight video maybe.
