I remember a time the biggest problem with the RMB was its degeneracy.

I miss those times. Back when fights were so uncommon that someone getting called stupid and being yelled out for not knowing who Queen was was deletion worthy.

Time? He was an odd one, to say the least. Still, looking back, there was something charming about his weirdness, and whether it was out of good humor or obliviousness, he didn't seem to mind the jokes we made about him (if he did, he didn't say it publicly). Part of me wants him back, if only because arguing about and/or with him would be more interesting than petty personal and/or RP disputes.

There's smartassedtry that is innocent and kinda funny, and then there's the smartassedtry that's just insufferable.

If you fall in the latter category, you should quit your smartassedtry and try to be in the former.

Well, to be honest, I lived in Florida from when I was about four or five to when I hit ten or eleven so I only really remember bits and pieces from before I was eight...and when I hit eight I started to become more and more despondent -and eventually depressed- from a number of sources and that only really mellowed out when I hit fourteen and was at my lowest. So basically what I remember of Tampa was a comment from my grandmother about how people drove on red and the probable sources for many of the things I'm afraid of...like bees.

Fun fact, one time, a bunch of bees made a nest on the underside of a dude's truck. When he took it for a drive while me and my older sister were standing on our drive way (He was our neighbor) the nest fell off and we had to make a bee-line (Ha) inside the house to avoid the flying stinging arseholes. I think I was actually eight then too :P

Oh. Okay. Don't have much experience with bees, but I do have experience with people driving on red. In fact, that's basically how me and my dad got into a car accident earlier this year (we were driving through the intersection on a green light, a pickup truck on the other side thought he could make it through, but because he was also pulling a trailer with another car on it, he didn't make it, we hit his trailer, and the front end of my dad's car was totaled).

Anyway, I hope you come back one day and give Tampa another chance now that you're in a better state of mind. Also, check out St. Pete on the other side of the bay; St. Pete has a great social and artsy scene if you're into that stuff.

All of that is true, though the exact levels of each depend on where in Florida you are (except for Bob Ross; he's been gone for some time, I'm afraid). My area has more old people and less swamps, but if you go more south toward the Everglades, the opposite is true.

It just sounds, and I'm sorry, bad in comparison to the North East, Smokies, North West and such.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, and each region has its advantages and disadvantages. But for me, there's no place in the U.S. I'd rather live than the U.S. (with the possible exception of California).

North and Alaska: Too much snow.

Deep South (besides Central and South Florida): Too redneck and conservative.

Southwest: Too much desert.

Hawaii: Volcanoes and tsunamis.

Midwest and mountains: Middle of nowhere with little to do.

West Coast: Too liberal.

In fact, that's basically how me and my dad got into a car accident earlier this year (we were driving through the intersection on a green light, a pickup truck on the other side thought he could make it through, but because he was also pulling a trailer with another car on it, he didn't make it, we hit his trailer, and the front end of my dad's car was totaled).

Anyway, I hope you come back one day and give Tampa another chance now that you're in a better state of mind. Also, check out St. Pete on the other side of the bay; St. Pete has a great social and artsy scene if you're into that stuff.

I might, gotta visit sometime :p

For right now though, I got paradoxically more and less important things to consider, like what I'm going to name the SVDM I'm making for Tex.

I'm thinking the Uthyr right now, though making a word up in Kalaronian to assign it the "Nyr" might be decent.

What do you think I should name it, Jas?

If i were you i tell her not to come close to someone in black robe with sword in his hand, it could make an international accident....

I'm not a Kalaronian linguistics expert, so I can only make a guess. Uthyrtios? Nyraktos? Super Thingamajiggy 5000?

Huh, what language does Kalaron speak? Or, to be more fair and specific considering my linguistic circumstances, what language(s) does Kalaron derive from?

Super Thingamajiggy 5000 sounds like an item sold almost exclusively to neglected housewives.

There are three things that I will not appreciate when I begin university.

1) My lectures and tutorials change days and times on a weekly basis.

2) They take place in various buildings, meaning I need to trawl through Google maps to ensure I know where I am going.

3) The online timetable mechanism allows you to search for only one class at a time, meaning I need to click back and forth to figure out which tutorials I can attend and which ones I cant because I have a lecture.

Odd comparison, but I can somehow see it being sold as some sort of fancy household tool for housewives.

I would like to announce that the Russkov Empire has gained membership into the Iron Union. We look forward to collaborating and cooperating with the Russkov government in order to make this Union prosperous, productive, and beneficial to all member states and the global community.

[spoiler]My local housing authority has contracted a private company to renovate our flats. So we got new windows, balconies, cladding, elevators, heating, ventilation and shower systems.

The place is basically a work sight. Constant noise, mess, the elevator was supposed to be installed in June but it's still being worked on. The workmen have been in and out of my house more than a groom on his wedding night. They were only meant to be in my place a week but because they did not finish the work properly, my house has lain unfinished for the past 4 weeks. It's still not done.

On top of that, since I moved in I have had continuous hassle with energy bills and council tax which I have only just sorted. And as the cherry on top of the cake, I have been unable to move in all of my furniture due to the elevator being off, meaning my house is half-furnished and I am into the 11th month of my tenancy.

Because of the stress and constant noise and mess, I have spent all of my summer (and most of the time before that) staying at my mum's while paying rent and energy bills on a house I am barely staying.

Sorry for the long post.[/spoiler]

No worries. If I were you, I'd write to the local housing authority and recommend to them that they don't contract with this private company next time.
