Weather has been whacky everywhere lately. Just last week we had a huge ice storm that covered everything in a layer of ice. Now we're getting early morning highs in the 70s.

It was actually warm over here, we had like 60 degree weather? I have no remember, but it's awesome!

Hooray for 60 degree weather~! I suppose that's a good thing, the weather was so nice I didn't even need my puffy coat. And I could almost taste a spring breeze~ Although that breeze soon turned into rough wind which is contributing to the thunderstorm going on now.

That sucks to hear of the consequences of your cold. Thankfully my sickness is going away slowly AND without any treatment. Being sick over Winter Break felt horrible, and I couldn't stand a repeat only 2 weeks after. I'd like to thank my AWESOME WILLPOWER for preventing it. (Or something)

Huh. The Canon Prima Super 28N/Caption we had? The lens mechanism is stuck, making it a brick. :3 Bricked film cameras, huh?

Stuck? Man, that's gotta suck. I should make a list of fun things to do with bricked technology. Because I have too many...

Soon I'm FINALLY gonna have a little spending money (But not for Wreck-It Ralph, of course. Someone else is being forced to get it for me. ) Just a couple days ago as I was lamenting over how poor I was, I suddenly remembered how I had this random horde of change in my drawer (I dislike change and don't consider it REAL money, don't judge me.) Someone agreed to give me bills for all of it as long as I could form a dollar. I wasn't counting when I grouped the silver, but I'm pretty sure it was from $15-20.

Speaking of cash, I'm going to Taiwan tomorrow, and... well, 5000 is actually just a relatively puny amount of cash to carry.

Also, *starts to dream about $150 point-and-shoots*

Really disappointed right now, I'm going to an anime convention tomorrow and at the last second one of the people I'm sharing a hotel room with bailed out; now me and the other person don't have enough money to stay at the hotel. So now I'm going to have to drive up there all three days; I live relatively far away. This also means that I'm going to have to pay an additional $60 for parking. I'm trying to find a free or cheap parking lot near the hotel (where the convention is being held) though. There's also a bunch of other stuff going on concerning this, such as the fact that my friend has my costume and I'm not sure how I'm going to get it; if you don't have a costume you have to pay an additional $5 on top of the ticket price to attend the convention.

RAGE! RAGE! RAGE!

My head kind of hurts waking up this early. It's now not even six, and I really need to eat AND sleeep.

Okay, I managed to work everything out. I will be driving my friend to the convention and she will give me gas money. We found a cheap parking lot across the street from the convention for $3 a day. It's about 45 minutes away from my house, which is a pain (driving there and back three days in a row). I'll manage though!

Having 10 days worth of unlimited Internet access on pre-paid is very nice, bundled with NT$550 worth of balance for everything else. All for NT$800, and Taiwanese dollars are... well, a bit tiny.

Looks like it's going to be uber nice to be on HSPA+ all day! And that'd mean that I'll be on VR every day!

(It's $28)

Over night, my town was invaded by a battalion of snow, completely burying the roads in around 7 inches of snow. As a result, schools were shut down.
I took advantage of this invasion to catch up on my sleep. Some interesting dreams I had last night. Can't even repeat them here without breaking the rules.

Supposed to get 21 inches where I am.

Am I the only one starting to get sick of talking about the weather?

I'm sick of everyone saying how much snow they get and how cold it gets if it's any consolation.

And with weather talk, it reminds me of that really typical way to break the ice. You know... "How about that weather?"

The weather here is actually really nice, though. Nice pre-Spring breezes and good warmth from the sun. I feel sorry about the people up north, though. I heard there's gonna be some bad snowstorms this weekend. I hate all of you lucky northerners...

I managed to leave school early to avoid driving through the worst of the snowstorm. At least the storm made things look nice. ^_^

Wait your school was actually insane enough to stay open, all the schools in the state were closed the previous night.

This is incredible! How have I never gone to any of these things before? I effectively crossdressed at the convention as I was cosplaying as Chibitalia from Hetalia. I'm glad I did though, as I met a bunch of awesome people, most of whom were Hetalia fans. Also, please note that every single girl in the entire convention will walk up to you and give you a hug.

I got knocked out of the Super Smash Bros. tournament on the first round, but it was a touch match and I dragged it out to three rounds (it was best of three). Playing with 5 lives stock, I beat him the first round without losing a single life, I suppose I got cocky after that though, as he beat me (narrowly) the next two rounds.

The best event by far though was the Metal Gear Solid event, sadly there were no boxes, however. We had a war with dart guns with MGS music playing in the background, it doesn't sound like much but it was quite intense. I was the third to last person eliminated on my team and I received extra points for my "great dodging skills." It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, from running out in the middle of the battlefield and dodging every single bullet on a lone wolf ammo run, to kamikaze rushing enemies head on, it was great. The kamikaze rush is what got me killed, however, as the guy I was chasing had his teammate flank me and shoot me.

The third event I went to was a Black Butler event, which wasn't really my cup of tea. No pun intended, as it was effectively a tea party, but with hot chocolate. They auctioned off a pair of panties and human beings. Yes, they had a date auction for one of the people who set up the event. I wasn't really paying attention, but I believe someone payed at least over $40 just to go on a date with her.

I spent most of my time at the convention just hanging out with various people, be they the Hetalia group or a few other people. I also experienced my first kiss today, though I'm not sure it actually counts, as we were playing the pocky game and it only lasted for a second. Regardless, the convention is a blast so far, I'm about to pick up my friend and head up there for day 2! If you want, maybe I can share some pictures with you guys?


P.S.
Anyone here at the Kawa Kon convention in St. Louis, Missouri?

Ooh, it seems as if you're really enjoying your convention. Reminds me of myself when I went to Otakon, haha. The only difference was that I got overwhelmed by the sheer amount of EVERYTHING to do and only being one person, so I mostly took pictures of the coolest cosplays. THIS year it'll be HUGS of the coolest cosplays. There are actually quite a lot of conventions that are on my list to go to sometime in the future, but until Nintendo stops making new things for about a year or two (which will never happen) then I won't be able to get the money to go for quite a while...
Share more stuff! And pictures would be awesome~

Everyone recently has been talking about snow, the lowest it's been here is 29 xD

we are getting hit hard where im at with snow. Anywho anyone joining that wifi tournament this weekend for white/black 2? i might be in it if im not at my uncles again, hoping not to lose in the first round.

Pictures from the convention are now up!

I FINALLY HAVE WRECK-IT RALPH. Oh the time I've been waiting to be with you~! Now I can watch it again and again a thousand hundred times until I memorize every line. And tomorrow I get to participate in a Jeopardy-like Nintendo Game Show at my anime club. This week has started out great, and I hope it stays that way to the end~
And now that X and Y info is being revealed I have to leave the internet for 8 months.

I don't do media blackouts because it is easily broken.

*is having a hard time picking cameras*

So this place still exists.

Much like all of us... Yes... Yes it does.

I just have nothing to say... Ever... I mostly keep to myself now.

Im in the winter friendly masters division, but sadly im not able to finish the thing as on saterday im going to my uncle's again so no wifi for DS games (the contections around the there dont support DS games) but on friday i have to get as many battles in as i can then i would have to cancle to get my pokes back. Not sure if my rankings will still count though.

Well no one has posted anything yet since my last post, but the winter freindly started at 12:00am played the first hour and in 6-0 so far.

Er. I don't think you should be double posting. Next time, I suggest you use the edit button sir. . Anyways, I'm on WINTER BREAK!!!!~ Many schools in NY don't have their winter breaks anymore because of the Hurricane Sandy and all of the snow and stuff, but I still gots it~

I finished high school, take that.

I'm still too afraid to finish high school, I haven't a single clue what I'll do when I graduate. And I have no community service hour thingies, so I might not graduate at all

I'm starting to be really angered by the amount of places in my local area that aren't hiring.

Chocolate chip? Hahaha, how 3rd grade. I made a whole bunch of chocolate-glazed Italian cookies (Biscotti) for our V-Day party thing thing and they were amaaaazing~ Everyone I gave them to couldn't resist them, but they tasted better with milk.

Yo TurtwigX y u copy my Bug type Adoptable name with yo Bug type , dawg.

I sometimes wished that I was still on high school... but I think the university life is better in every way. If only because I now get to do... a lot of things on my own accord.

I just noticed that this thread has an unusually high post count for the forums. Hmm... It does say a lot about other things in the forums.

Well, it IS a thread where you can just talk about anything, it's in the title. Its purpose is to be never-ending, while other threads can die out after loss of interest or becoming irrelevant.

Crazy part about this is that on most other forums, very long-running threads will have to make way to a new version of itself - a blank slate, if you will.

Yeah this thread has gone on for a while, #11458 posts and counting.

And it'll keep going until we stop talking.

But when will we stop talking? There'll always be someone with something to say, won't there?

That was so deep, man. Totally moving and spiritual. Snaps and claps, bro, snaps and claps.
If you want to stop procrastinating, I suggest LOGGING OUT and sitting somewhere without the distraction of the internet.

For me homework gets pushed back until the day before school. So I'm not even gonna think about the pile of Biotech and World History I got. For now it's just drawing and music... eh, I can kinda see why you're still procrastinating.

I never had an issue with homework really. Either my work was done during class or it wasn't an issue taking that long from my time. I feel like my school time was really relaxed compared to most of you.

In my case I should really keep up to date with it, cause most of it (unless it's like a major project or something) is done on the day it's due.

*incoming Yoshi's old man style rants* lol, its just not slight work no more..

Heck i was just tring to upload a video to youtube from my 3ds and when it got to like 20% done the computer froze and i thought something happened to the computer (Good thing nothing did happen) Does anyone know a way to upload videos quicker or can i upload videos here on VictoryRoad somehow?

Well, I was busy all day. :< I woke up at 6 AM to go to an Ocean Bowl Tournament and I ended up staying there until 7 PM. Still, I guess the whole day wasn't a waste.

Looks like I'll be going to the senior prom this year; I got a prom date today. ^^ She actually wanted to go with me before I asked her, so that makes me feel nice. :3

I think I have a potential prom date, but I'm not too sure about anything yet.

I had the most fun time at Bowie State University today. I got to play at 2 basketball games with the college Pep Band, even though it took 7 hours. Their sound is so BEAUTIFUL and their dances suit me well~ And they gave me free pizza~! I might put that place on my list...

At least you guys have potential Prom dates. I had nothing available.

Well proms up here aren't exactly appealing... Especially if they have to get the local police to be security to it....

I never really cared about prom or dances in general, but I've heard that prom is different than what you see in movies, depending on your school.

Also, I got to work as an usher at the Linkin Park concert. I know at least two folks here are probably jealous.

Damn I got my schools Prom this year in like 5 months, I need to get a date soon.

Didn't expect to see Cat in here :3

I. Hate. Proms.

I went to my prom and I have no regrets about going, I has told that even quite a few people actually voted for me for prom king because I had such an awesome suit.
Also it does not matter at all if don't have a date to come to the prom with you as long you actually have other people to hang out with.

I've never been a big fan of Linkin Park, but that IS awesome. Now if you said Paul McCartney I'd be dying.

Hmm... so, what makes prom so special? Isn't it just, like, a dance?

Sometimes I wish I could work for random people. It's illegal for me to do so right now. :3 Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

...Illegal how and why?

Today was amazing~ As I was checking out bass guitars in the music store I really did not want to go to I met a guy who showed me a lot of neato tricks for it. He even taught me how to play the entirety of Another One Bites The Dust. He even has his own band that he plays lead guitar for, and he agreed to help me practice when I get my own guitar. I MUST HAVE ONE NOW.

I'm back everyboody!!! Didn't ya miss mie.

Aw man, that's no good. But it IS kinda cool that you can say you're restricted from doing so. With cool guy shades. BD

I'm going to the Bahamas today and saying "TO HELL WITH THE COLD"! 80 degree weather, here I come<3

Bahamas nice during Easter break I might go on vacation

I still prefer warm places it seems.

Well! In these two day, so far it's been a blast! Dolphins might be my new favorite sea animal. I got to do the typical dolphin kiss, got to feed them, pet them and even got whacked I'm the stomach by its tail by accident! if they come out with a dolphin Pokemon in the 6th gen, I can understand if it learned Iron Tail.
