@KanadeTenshi: Was that supposed to be a metaphor? O.o
@Erik Destler: Whenever I visit my grandparents in the winter, it's usually around 50 degrees (they live in texas). Then again, we haven't gotten any snow up until yesterday and I live in New England. It seems Global Warming has taken quite the effect, eh? |

Regardless, a similar-styled hit is what you get if you disobey. (I have a family witth high expectation) There's military conscription here, so nobody asks you questions. Too much crap and say hi to mlitary jail. |
I know! Usually it's like 50 F or colder at this time of the year where I live.
And, I'm just like.. D: What am I supposed to do with my cute winter clothes? ;_; We'll probably get really cold weather in like February or March. D: I definitely believe in Global Warming. I mean, I think it occurs naturally, but I also think that we helped it go a little faster. >>; |

[jq]But, still. 80 F in December is ridiculous ~_~; It's never been like this before. D:
Oh, well. Such is life in Texas.[/jq] It's only 58° F in Louisiana, 22° is a pretty drastic jump between neighboring states. |
It's not as much global warming as it is a general climate change, with weather patterns being thrown out of whack.

Anyway, I just looked at the ten day forecast. http://i53.*.com/33kae7s.jpg Only in East Texas does the weather range from 80 to 49~ Quote:
|
IT'S SO FRICKING COLD HERE.
|
Give me some of your cold, now >:o
|
I KNOW, RIGHT, ICE?
wait, that can't be right, you're in Engy-lando... |
Yeah but my city has crap cold. No snow. >> Just ice and frost. While the rest of the UK is under two inches of it we get two milimetres of frost and ice. IT SUCKS.
|
I so want to live in Texas. :x
Best place ever. Quote:
|
It's not that cold here at all. There is a nice cold breeze outside and the sun is still bright. It's a nice weather over here right now.
|
We have more than enough snow here. I suggest those who want snow come to Minnesota with vehicles equipped with freezers and start filling those freezers up with snow. We've got plenty to go around.
|
I would hate to live up in the north for that reason ~_~;
I don't really like snow that much. It's such a hassle. And freezing weather is so scary to drive in. ;_; |
Quote:
Leiecester sucks. We have nothing cool, except for a Space Centre which once you've seen once is boring (except for when they hold Dr Who conventions ofc). |
I'm very fickle when it comes to the weather. I hate the extreme cold and extreme heat and would love to live in a place where it's comfortable all year long.
|
I'd rather be here than have to pack everything up because of a hurricane every few years, but that's just because blizzards aren't often strong enough to destroy/maul buildings like hurricanes are.
Ice driving is nightmarish at first, but once you figure it out, it's pretty easy. Still wouldn't recommend going over 40 MPH, though, with light ice and slush, and no more than 20 MPH during an ice storm. And 4 wheel drive doesn't help any with ice on the roads. AND WHAT THE HECK DO YOU DO TO CAUSE YOURSELF TO FISHTAIL EVERY 15 FEET?! O_O;; |
Quote:
Usually during the summer, I always say how much I wish it were winter, and during the winter, I say how much I want it to be summer already. Spring is most certainly the most fitting season around here. Unlike other places, the weather is perfect, we get a decent amount of rain and storms, and enough sun. No tropical storms or anything like that to worry about, no sir. |
I know driving a truck can make things different. Even when it's raining, one has to be careful to avoid fishtailing. At least, I have to.
It's terrifying when it occurs, tbh. D: And, hurricanes are pretty rough, I guess. But, it depends on what you grow up with XD Oh, I love spring weather...but I think I prefer autumn. It's much prettier. But, then again, I love spring colors. Then again, I simply just love everything about autumn. |
What you gotta do with a truck is to put weight in the bed with something that's not gonna move like sandbags so you don't fishtail as much.
|
I grew up dealing with snow every winter and I hate it. Reduced traction, reduced vision, increased stopping distances... it makes driving dangerous. I don't understand how anyone could actually want a "white Christmas"...
|
I don't know where or how I could get sandbags/etc. I don't think it'd be practical. It's whatever. lol.
|
Quote:
|
So is fishtailing tailgating?
|
No. It's like where your car starts to spin around because of water/ice on the road. It's pretty scary.
Anyway, I wonder what I'm doing tonight. I think my cousin and her boyfriend from NYC are coming in with my other cousin for Christmas. :D It sucks, though, because some of my family won't be there on Christmas Eve. ;_; The DCC is slow today. ;-; |
I'm pretty weird in the sense that I like it both cold, or hot, as long as it's one of the extremes. (Hot is way better though.)
|
What's everyone doing this Christmas/Holiday? I'm also a bit picky when it comes to the weather. I can't stay out in the heat too much or I would get a really bad headache or pass out.
|
I'm going to be with my family, which makes me happy as it's also my birthday. On Christmas Eve, we go to my grandfather's house, and then eat supper/stuff. Christmas morning, we open presents, and then go to my grandfather's house again and eat lunch. XD;
I'm excited :3 |
I think I'll be spending new year's eve with my best friend. I hope so, at least.
Hopefully, I'll get to see my boyfriend between now and then. ;-; |
I'm not really doing anything. Just going to hang out with my mom, sister, and mom's BF at my house like we do ever year and also celebrate it on PC.
|
I am already home for Christmas.
Spending it with family. =] |
We just went out and bought a Prime Rib roast for tomorrow's dinner, since it's my birthday. It works out nicely, because my parents want ham on Christmas, which I don't like, so I can eat the leftover prime rib instead. lol
|
I hate ribs D:
I don't usually eat that much meet on holidays. XD; Usually, we have many delicious casseroles u3u;~ |
Quote:
that being said I do love autumn/winter and I could never live in a place where it was hot all the time. i'm too used to this! I can't wait for christmas :) I have no clue what we're eating but I don't care. i'm sure it'll be good. my brother and I will probably play Ace Attorney the whole time at my aunts house since there's not much to do. |
I love driving...most of the time. I hate being in stupid traffic, though. @[email protected];

I'm supposed to be spending Christmas with my family, but there's a lot of fighting going around, and there's a better chance that I might spend it alone. All of my friends traveled to their families outside of my area. I'm left in the cold. |
I like to eat meat, just some I'm not too fond of as it may or may not be tender enough. I dislike eating fish though.
As for christmas, I'm going up to the grandparents' house for it, as I do every second year. |
We have Christmas at home in the morning, then the family all gets together at my Grandmother's house for the big party. ^__^
|
It's a little harder for me. My grandma lives at least 2 hours away from me (without toilet breaks) all the way in the countryside, so it's either up there or at my place. It's always good to go up there though.
|
My grandfather lives across a pasture from me. XD; It's about 200 yards, or so.
But, we tend to drive there to avoid spilling goods. Lol. Quote:
|
I have no idea what a yard is. Isn't America meant to follow the new measurement system with like, meters and kilometers now, or is yards/miles the new measurement system?
|
A meter is roughly equivalent to a yard, I think. :<
Anyway, it's not very far. But, it's substantial enough to be pretty far. ): |
If the converter I am using actually works or if I actually put it in right.
200= Meter - 182.880 Kilometers - 0.18288 If you have seen an American Football field it is just the length of two of those. |
Hey, how's it going everyone? :embarrass
I always kill threads when I post in them. :( |
I don't watch American Football, so I haven't seen one before, but I did see the Rose Bowl on an Amazing Race thing once. I think they had to help decorate a parade float.
|
Oh, well it's not that far then, @Kenshin5 XD;
Oh, hi Human! I'm good, you? :D You ready for the holidays, too? |
Quote:
|
@ alternative: America was going to switch in the 1970s, but it proved too problematic, I guess.
|
Which is pretty sad. XD; I hate our measurement system. It's so confusing. @[email protected];
Well, today sucked. I didn't do much of anything. ._. |

America seems to be the dominant country, but there are so many things that only America do, because it's too hard for them to have a little change.
- Old Measurement system. - Their date is mm/dd/yyyy instead of dd/mm/yyyy. - As fas as I know, they only drive in the right side of the road. |
I haven't done much of anything this Christmas break but just hang out on the computer. I need to figure out what to do tomorrow before I do the same thing.

Nothing annoys me more than when I'm walking on the right side of a school hallway and a big group of people are walking head on towards me. :tired: |
Australia don't.
Britain don't as far as I know (I watch Top Gear). Uhh... Well... We have Hungry Jacks opposed to your Burger King. |

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day... Maybe somewhere in summer, where you actually have use... (For the record, it's raining) Hi what're we talking about? |
I wish it were actually sunny here. For the past few weeks it has been cold and raining, and it's meant to be Summer. D:
|
Why don't you read the posts to find out?
And, that's cool, I didn't know America used to drive on the other side. o3o; I always feel like I should be driving on the left side when I drive. I never do, of course, but I always feel weird driving on the right. ): |

Right now the topic is based around the US's peculiar (or not) driving and measurement practices. |
Daily Chat gets posts faster than TCTI, and most of them are long and since this is a long-winded discussion by the looks of it I won't bother.
But it seems we're talking about driving eh? And driving on the right feels so natural to me. |
It is not impossible to look up two or three posts before you post. And, if you fear it changes, preview your post and then you can see if anyone else has posted...
It isn't even that hard. You won't miss anything, I swear. I haven't driven since...Monday, I guess. o3o; I went to hang out with a friend. And..then I had to put gas in my truck. @[email protected] Gas is so expensive. |
I haven't driven a car since August... :(
|
I've grown up with driving on the left side of the road. That's whats natural.
Trees are also natural. |

Broccoli is meh, as in I can eat it, but don't enjoy it. I used to never eat the stalks.
My sister once got a big brocolli for her birthday. |
I last drove today. $45 a fill up is what I average, and it hurts my wallet a fair bit, since I have to fill up once a week and have to nag my parents for their share of the fill-ups because my brother also drives the same car I do and he doesn't have a job.
|
I don't drive because of car accidents these days.
Also cars keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger...and our wallets are getting smaller... |
I love broccoli now, as long as it's cooked XD;
Ugh, I hate gas prices. I wish they would go down again. ;_; |
I drive, as long as I have someone in the car with me who has their full license. I hate having my learners. Also gas prices suck. I think once the gas prices here went down to an average on $1.00. It was truly a spectacle.
|
Spent the day at gf's, watched Inception and messed around (nothing shifty though :P). it was nice.
Alto, A DOLLAR? When on earth was petrol $1? |
Quote:
|
I still haven't seen it. ..or Avatar.
But, it reminds me I want to get Easy A on DVD. b.b |
Playing YGO WC 2010 on Desmume, though kinda mad that I keep losing.
Petrol. A dollar. WHAT *head explodes* |
Inception IS a great movie. People keep saying it was confusing though, but I found it really straight forward. Only the opening sequence was a little confusing, because they gave no background or anything.
|
I've never had to worry about Gas prices, as I still don't have my permit... even though I'm 19 now. o.O
|
Inception was a great movie, but all I kept thinking about halfway through the movie was, when was it going to end? Same problem with Avatar. It's like they keep making them longer and longer. @[email protected]
|
Avatar was pretty good. Although I kept wondering why was there a helicopter-flying lizard?
|
Quote:
|
People keep saying Inception is a good movie. Now I HAVE to see it for myself.
|
Haha, it was only confusing until the first dreams ended.
|
I loved Inception, although I didnt know what the heck was going on.
There were a lot of memorable moments, thats for sure. :D |
Don't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling~ KABOOM
In other news, Joe Hisaishi. Oh my god Joe Hisaishi. I crave Ghibli music nao need to find some simple sheets to learn to play >D |
I neeeeeed to go and see all these movies xD; Or just buy them on DVD when they're out.
Speaking of gas prices, they're really expensive here. (Ireland) |
I'm just really bored right now, as I have off from school, and I have nothing to do with my life. Maybe I could continue my paper (that's due in mid-January :/)
|
Bored here too. And we never do anything exciting for Christmas... just sit around the house all day... I'd like to, you know, actually go somewhere exciting for the holidays, but the family is satisfied with the same old same old:/

Just finished wrapping my Christmas Presents. Pure effort! XD
|
I'm...terrible at wrapping. XD;
So much used tape and ripped wrapping everywhere. :< |
Quote:
|
I just stick my gifts in those Christmas gift bags and get done with it. I don't have the time to mess around with wrapping paper.
|
Wrapping Christmas gifts is the most tedious job ever. D:
|
I don't mind wrapping presents. I just whacked on a film and had it on in the background.
