Hang Out and Post

[Sofa]

That's interesting, I wonder why they felt the need to have that?

[Divya Bean]

I was born in '96. b)

 

Thats weird (about the word minimum). JN is just weird. :P

[CAV of Gang Green]

Btw, you know what I just found out? Jn has a word minimum in their games forum. D:

 

Meh. I don't really care. I'm not active there unless there's a HAMS invasion (like there is now).

[Wembly]

Tee-hee, you guys and your world domination and invasions scheming :king:

[Sofa]

Just tried to suss out what HAMS was from the other threads, still a tad confused, but anything involving squirrels and meepits has to be a good thing! Squirrel is something else I used to get called too come to think of it...weird!

[The Score in Blue]

HAMS - the historical alliance of meepits and squirrels...

It's a lot of fun too! And all the members are awesome-sauce!

[Spritzie]

I was born in '97.

Why are we all talking about this? xD

 

Cause we can talk about whatever here. If you want, I can move the topic onto the subject of weather....

 

My sister plays. She's 28 now and has been playing since she was 19. (She started a few months after I started.)

[-Ryan]

Nevermind Spritzie... Nevermind... xD

 

Btw, I had an interesting day today.

Some random person in a car that i've never seen before flipped me off while they drove by... xD

Oh and I failed horribly at wrapping something. I ended up taking scraps of wrapping paper and taping them over the part where you could see what it was cause I didn't measure it right... xD

And I bought a spanish Christmas card and gave it to my friend who can't speak spanish either. 8D

My sister and her friend used to flip off the car behind us, out the back window of the car, while my mum was driving. They thought it was pretty funny, especially when the person they were gesturing at would reciprocate. Then, one time, the guy in the car behind us started waving at hatchet at them. They stopped doing it after that.

Everyone fails at wrapping sometimes. I've done that before. I also ran out of wrapping paper tonight, and there's nowhere I can go to buy more until tomorrow. :(

Always a good time! ;)

Oi, I've got to do my wrapping, too. And I'm going to be doing laundry on Christmas Eve. What fun!

[Spritzie]

I haven't gotten to do any wrapping. My husband manages to use everything ahead of time. His new computer game, his WoW expansions, and now his new mouse. I don't think I'll have anything for Christmas morning for him. :laughingsmiley:

I can't imagine having your presents before the actual day, it'd feel like cheating, and then you'd be left with nothing exciting when everyone else is opening theirs, lol. I quite like wrapping presents though, although it's infinitely easier when you have a sellotape dispenser so you don't have to faff around with scissors and not losing the end of the tape, argh!

I know. That's annoying. I learned the hard way.

I like how you describe it.

Or, you could just use bags.

[CAV of Gang Green]

his WoW expansions,

 

Let me guess, WoW Cataclysm? It actually makes me want to play WoW, it looks that good.

It's just my husband and I. So we do it whenever. With my job it's 24/7/365, so if Christmas falls on my normal work days, I have to work it. With that in mind, we decided we wouldn't make it a big deal what day we did it on knowing there will be several years in a row where I'll work Christmas.

Nope. Not yet. (Though that's probably what he's getting from his mom.) I got him the Wrath of the Lich King. (It only cost $20 because of a sale going on.)

I guess it makes sense to just do things when you can if you've got a busy work schedule and have to work Christmas. What do you do for a job? I know quite a few medical people who have to work Christmas & New Year's Eve sometimes, busy keeping the rest of us alive!

[Spritzie]

I work in the data centers of a large computer company, monitoring the backups and such.

 

I won't be working Christmas this year, but I will be for the next 3 years. And I'm working New Years (I'm covering for the person that's supposed to work it.)

[Sofa]

Blimey. I suppose it could get pretty disastrous if there wasn't someone there making sure everything is doing what it's supposed to! At least you're off this year :)

[Spritzie]

Pretty much. It's not too bad, it's just not all that fun when it comes to the holidays. But I know that the other person isn't big on Christmas, so if I ever want to request it off, I know he'll cover it for me.

[-Ryan]

@Masaryk

ROFL. A hatchet? xDDD

I'm so gonna start taking a hatchet with me wherever I go... xD

 

I still have all my Neo shopping to do for christmas. Thank god I don't have to wrap Neo gifts. :O

[IrishLiz]

I'm doing laundry too! Let's have a laundry party! haha.

That's pretty funny. I took my boyfriend to an NBA game for Christmas, so he got his present a few weeks ago. I get to open mine tonight, and then the rest he's going to give me when I head on the plane for Panama.

That's a good idea. I know some people do that with Thanksgiving too. As long as you pick a specific time, that's great! Just don't skip it altogether, haha. That would drive me nuts, because I love Christmas! My boyfriend works at a hospital and is super glad that he doesn't have to work Christmas Eve or day this year. His family is Italian, so they have huge gatherings with lots of food. My parents and I are going to their seven fishes dinner tonight. :)

[Spritzie]

His grandma got him a brand new laptop, I wanted to get him his first game. But his laptop arrived 2 weeks before Christmas, so I didn't want to make him wait for his first game. (He got Dragon Age Origins.) Then I decided to get him WoW. He wasn't supposed to touch it, but he had to install things, before the expansion... and next thing I knew, he was calling me at work telling me about his character. :laughingsmiley: Then I bought him a mouse, which he opened to make sure he liked it, but we never ended up putting it back in the box.

 

So I still have to figure out SOMETHING to give him tomorrow morning. He was so much easier with that last year. I got him an XBox 360, but he had to wait until Christmas for the Halo game.

[The Score in Blue]

Not to interrupt, but MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!

And a Happy Boxing Day for those of you who have it tomorrow... :P
