Default The "anything" thread

Ok, I decided that it's time to make a thread for speaking your minds, writing what you're doing and discussing random garbage that springs into mind and isn't the kind of thing that's worthy of it's own thread. Consider it a thread for venting or praising the little things in life. Consider it as a more acceptive group chat.

The purpose of this thread is to talk about anything without making over 9000 threads in the offtopic forums, instead, it's to be made in one thread.

My thoughts of the day:

So what's everybody doing? Me, I'm spending friday at home, swigging a few strongbows and waiting to watch The Walking Dead on telly. There's nothing better than a bit of alcohol at the end of the week to relax and forget your troubles. My biggest trouble would be dropping college to spend the next two years studying 3D modelling. A good choice, it seems. I may not see my friends again for god-knows-how long, though. I may drop into the school as a suprise visitor.

I'm currently reading forums like an idiot, spending a lot of time that I should be spending in more useful things.

Lol, useful things like what? Yeah, I spend a lot of time constantly refreshing TWI forums, Furaffinty and Facebook with lack of better things to do.

I'm watching the episode of Firefly where the engine goes kaput, and then everyone leaves, and then Mal gets shot, and then they all lived happily ever after.

And I'm handcrafting TINY Christmas cards (viewed here on top of a brass guitar slide).

You're a bloody furry and you had to look up definition the word lewd in a dictionary? You could have just put on your fursuit and looked in a frakking mirror.



Anyway. I just finished detail stripping, rebarrelling, and rebuilding the fire control group of my Ruger 10/22, and cleaning the hell out of my M&P 15-22. Had a good day yesterday making war upon the ground squirrels, and the guns were a bit dirty. (And, in the case of the Ruger, worn out.)

I hate using a word in a conversation and the other person doesn't understand. The other day I used the word "precarious" and this woman I work with had no inkling as to what that meant. What's worse is when a author uses obscure words in a book for no reason. Basically the words used are so pointless their definition consists of "see [other word]".

Yep, I agree 100%. If you can't write at or below a third grade vocabulary, then you're not writing for me to read.

Using synonyms just because one can is meaningless. Example: "picky" and "finicky", why have two words that mean the EXACT SAME THING? Besides, like English needs more synonyms.

Well right now I'm having a bath(gross eh), which is what I usually do the day after I went out at night. Since I wasn't successful enough last night I'll probably go out tonight again. Other than that I'm afraid this day is gonna be pretty boring because my PC wont start up anymore since 3 days and clear CMOS doesn't work for some reason. But somehow I don't really care either lol and I'm certainly not gonna spend money on a new mainboard anytime soon.

I finished school in june and haven't worked or anything since then because I have to do 9 months of alternative service starting january 3rd(damn this country, i just wanna start going to university right away), so I basically have nothing to do other than playing games, going out, watching movies and sleeping.

THERE'S NO WAY THAT CAN BE RIGHT.

I'm sick and tired of driving to work and getting stuck at the lights that are around the town square because some moron in front of me thinks they need to leave 6 empty car lengths between themselves and the vehicle in front of them. Pull the F@#$ up and stop forcing everyone behind you to sit thru the traffic light twice you bleeping idiot.

Because it makes language more interesting?

@Drakon2K: Define "success" please

At the moment, since Gibby's post reminded me of it, I'm looking up the same episode on the interwebs... should be out by now

I'm not into "yiff" or fursuiting, It strikes me as wierd. Unlike 90% of the other furries, I'm not hanging around for all the shocking porn.

I'm going into the kitchen to eat half a goats cheese and olive topped pizza, with a nice glass of red Bourgogne red wine.
