Coffee Shop Forever, It's time to kick bottom and drink coffee! Options

[Intestinal Chaos]

Hey, it's been a while since I popped in around here. Life has been incredibly crazy, and to be honest, interest in anything Elder Scrolls related has dropped to almost non-existent, seeing as I have many more troubles, what with social life, housing issues, and planning out my enrollment in college. It's nice to see that so many of the original forumites still frequent the place. So to any of those who remember me, hi again!

[mplantinga]

Good to see you around again. Sorry to hear that RL is so busy. I'm sure we all have had times like that. I hope things slow down a bit for you in the future.

[Ibis]

Oooohh Chaos,

I am sooo happy to see you! Have been wondering how you've been doing? Enrollment in college sounds excellent. What are you majoring in? Have a great time, enjoy your college experience; you'll always look back on it fondly later.

[The Metal Mallet]

Oh midterms/finals. How easy you've been so far. I have a hunch that won't last very long though. Next semester might prove to be a bit more difficult...

[milanius]

Operation "Sledgehammer" is nearing it's completion, as all the papers, including official translation to English, are now in the hands of my sister's friends parents who are going to Toronto next week [Tuesday].

In the process of the operation, total amount of money spend was ~130 euros [around 160$]. But, it'll all be money well spent if my sister can use those documents for further education. If she doesn't, I'll just do what I did last time on Skype - slam the connection down [like a real phone] and leave without a goodbye.

...or not. Turns out scholarship and [living] expenses for whole year of studies would total to ~20.000 canadian dollars. "Bah" is an understatement at this point.

Yes. Sadly, she can't get them, being 38 and foreigner and also finishing Uni in a land under wrong educational system, with a bunch of courses that mean exactly panda bear in Canada.

p.s.: PANDA BEAR?!!1 this made my day... well, early morning at least, before I go to sleep

I have a question to those who've watched hellraiser after 1 and 2.

I liked 1, thought 2 was pretty crappy, but I'm curious if the other movies are any good, and if they are, which ones?

Also if anyone knows of any really good horror flicks, I'd like to hear what they are as I can't go partying this halloween cause I could raise enough money to take they greyhound back up to Ashland and want to supplant that by getting urine freeingly scared.

[milanius]

Ach. I only read HELLRAISER [the book] and I remember watching the first movie only.
Only thing I remember from entire movie is the scene where Frank, near the end of it, gets to say "Jesus wept" right before hooks rip him to pieces :shrug: it was a decent movie, a bit gory at times; I can't say anything for sequels since I haven't watched them, but people don't speak very highly of them. Meh.

Also, welcome back IntestinalChaos, tis nice to see you again o/



edit: panda bear? Just checking nothing to see here, move along

Don't ask me, I'm not the horror-type. My nerves are too fragile for that.

Oh, and another welcome back. Hope things work out for you.

As in today's news, I signed up for the Nanowrimo. My name there is jack cloudy. (Yeah, what else did ya expect? )

Blockhead, since you have been around there for longer, I've got a question for you. Where the hell is the search button?

Me neither. I don't like horror.

Yay!!!!!!! Congratulations!

I'm there as "lokken" (blockhead was already taken). I do not think there is a search button! That site is a train wreck of bad web design. :/ It is also slow as molassis: slower even than DeviantArt!

To fake a search, I guess google your question, making sure to put "nanowrimo" as one of the search terms? I have not tried this. I'm a newbie at this but you can PM me (here, not there) with your question anyway: I might have already stumbled onto the answer.

Two ironic realizations regarding Nanowrimo.

• I'll be using a text editor called nano!
• The finishing date for Nanowrimo is my birthday.

Maybe I (or anyone) should start a Nanowrimo thread here on these forurms (kinda like they've done over on Bethesda's forums)? Opinions, anyone?

[jack cloudy]

I'm quite sure there was a search button half a week ago when I was searching for tips on how to write fight scenes. I got like six useful threads for swordfights, though mine will be gun/unarmed/big bad mecha brawls mostly.

Oh, and I sent ya a message. Hopefully it can serve as a link instead of the damn missing search button.

And something else you might want to do, check out the stats on this thing. 400+ users online a while back, plus 79.000 participants last year. In 1998, it started out with a meager 21. Talk about popularity booming.

[Fargoth]

Wait... you're not going to blow up the English parliament by any chance?

Anyways, the patron saint day madness is now officially over. We've moved all the furniture back, cleaned up, mom has washed 200 dishes in the meantime and now we're all beaten like eggs >_< and yet, I will have to stay up. Reason? D&D night!


p.s.: I really wish we had Star Trek transporters, that way everyone would get cake and chocolate cookies. Since my relatives barely touched the stuff we have a ton of it left, and now it'll probably be feast for neighbors and yet, you people can't get any of it. WHYYY?

Sheogorath Day?

Mmmmmmm, cookies ... and cake. Drool.

[milanius]

Sheogorath Day?

Nah, this lady.

Now, before you start thinking I *am* a religious nut, let me calm you down 'slava' is a day when any Serb orthodox family honors their patron saint and calls the wider circle of relatives and friends [or, alternatively, only godfathers] to come down & chow some tasty meals. It's become more of a gathering, although there are church sermons and certain religious customs. But, in the end, for me it's mostly about honoring a woman who had enough courage to devote her life to her ideals, whatever they might be. I respect that.

[DoomedOne]

Nanowrimo sounds like a brilliant idea, my user name is Ramaudio.

Sorry, I've been busy working on a mod of The Elder Vaults Island = adding some houses for a few members and myself. What is Nanowrimo? Is this a fiction writing site? Just guessing there ..
