DCC After the Fall '13 Daily Chit-Chat Welcome to After the Fall, ladies and gentleman, also known as the aftermath of the Summer 2013 DCC! In this thread, we deal with the psychological ramifications of the end of summer and returning from the wonder and whimsy of vacation to the cold, hard reality of school, work, and life in general. Sound depressing? Well, it is a little bit. Sorry about that. I'm not your mother, I'm not your hugger. You want some love? Get a puppy. So while you have sleepless nights saying goodbye to relaxation, freedom and all the ice cream you can carry, you should come give this cold new DCC a warm welcome! As anyone who knows me well will know, I haven't slept through the night since I first saw The Wizard of Oz, thank you Mom. So just be sure to follow the rules and it'll be Summer again before you know it! Well not really, but do it anyway. A friendly reminder as to what those rules are:
And that's it from me! SO START POSTING AND HAVING FUN, YOU CRAZY PEOPLE. I'mma go catch a cold. Man I hate Fall. |
Sooo Americans call autumn fall? Strange.
Anyway, it's been very cold and grey weather-wise where I live; about a month ago it was very hot and humid. :/ |
Yeah I always find it weird.
Speaking of the weather, it's like getting hotter here because of spring. I'm on the opposites as far as seasons go. |
Fall, autumn, I don't really care about calling it what. :)
|
My country doesn't have fall/autumn. I wish it had, but if one day I wake up to find all the trees in my neighbourhood in lovely shades of red, yellow and brown, something is very wrong with our planet for sure.
|
We just skip Autumn/Fall and go straight into winter, nothing red/orange/yellowish but dead looking trees :/
|
I wish the entire world got seasons. Summer all year round is boring as heck.
|
To be honest I'm happy that summer is over as I suffer from terrible hayfever and have to take antihistamines to ward it off.
|
Yup, I just wore a hoodie today, that means that fall is here. Or, I guess it's autumn if you're Para-dox or Hikari10. You guys are so weird. Yeah, it's one of those things that separates America, kind of like the metric system compared with our american measurement system. Why are we so weird?
It would really suck if you were stuck at summer all year round. |
I thought hayfever was a Spring thing, what's it doing lingering into the summer?

I'm glad that summer is over. For me, the only way to stay cool during the summer was by being indoors, which could get a little boring if you don't have anything to keep yourself busy with. If I stood outdoors for even more than five minutes, then I would immediately start sweating. I usually took three-four showers during the summer just to keep all the sweat away from my body. xD
|
Woo new DCC. (Wanted to try to get on the first page. :P )
I love fall honestly, my favorite season! Weather's nice I can wear hoodies and jeans and the trees are beautiful looking. I'm so glad the hotter weather is done with! It got over or near 100 here some days and with no woking AC that's awful. D: I love this time of year cause it's not too hot and not too cold. (Well except end of November and December). Though it is weird know in the Eastern Hemisphere it's spring. I guess how the Earth works I guess. |
You know, I really should find some time to experience winter. Spring and fall, I've seen them both by having a holiday somewhere else... but not winter. Not yet, not yet. Not that I'd have the wardrobe for them...
|
I need more winter/fall clothes honestly. Most of my wardrobe consists on shorter sleeved shirts. While the shirts, hoodie and jean I have will keep me warm most of the fall, once it gets colder in late November and all December, then probably not. I have 3 long sleeved shirts (two of those plaid button downs ) and only one hoodie I actually wear so I definitely need more longer sleeved stuff.
|
Autumn's pretty nice. The different coloured leaves make things look awesome! Plus I'm not a fan of warm weather, so the fact that it's getting cooler now is great. This year feels like it's gone by really fast...!
|
I heard autumn is nice, but because I'm in tropical area, I haven't got a chance to see it in real life. I wish I can see it when I venture to another country.
|
I like Autumn, it gets much colder and the days get shorter and the nights get longer.. which I like!
|
I'm actually more of a summer person, it's because autumn and winter is the time I have to wear jeans, my least fave item of clothing. I've got something against them I have to admit given my mother tries to make me wear them even when the weather turns out hot.
|
Yay new DCC! :D
Even though I'm American, I think I say Autumn more than Fall, haha.. the meteorological term is Autumn, and since I used to be a weather fanatic (maybe I still am?), I refer to it by its proper name. |
It's funny when you see both in the same paragraph. :)
|
I don't like Autumn, even if it includes my birthday. All those falling leaves make the streets dirty.
|
I love Autumn as soon as September exits and October comes in.. and maybe it's just me, but I wish the trees down here in Florida changed colors as well so that they aren't green year-round ):
Though sometimes the trees here do tend to get a little orange-colored if it stays chilly for extended amounts of time (which it has in the past). |
I love Autumn. Summer is easily my least favorite season - too hot, bugs, everything is busy.. :( I find the perfect temperature to be between 10 and -5 degrees Celsius, so Autumn is pretty good. Winter's the best though, skiing awww yeah :P
Edit: First page woo \o/ |
i love the Fall. that means hoodies and boots (:
|
ughh yesss. Cooler temperatures, hoodies, less mosquitos. Autumn is amazing here in Florida. Well when it is cooler. We still get those fun warm temperatures when a heat spell comes by but overall Autumn is one more step slower to winter.
On the downside less pool time. Oh well. :( |
Mmmm the amazing thing about autumn in Canada is having none of the hot weather of summer but all of the short shorts :D Oh, also more yoga pants, more appropriate for la fitnesse. And then being Canadian we wear our short shorts all year round, except for the month of February.
|
I think the most amazing thing is the lower humidity. It is always so hot and humid here and I will be welcoming the cooler temperatures so much. I also love the beautiful colors of the leaves that change, although there isn't so much of that in Alabama.
|
Hoodiesssssss :3
I seriously can't wait for the days to come when I can wear hoodies and pants. I love dressing for colder temperatures and days without rain and lower humidity in Florida (: |
I love hoodies! I wear one everyday once Fall gets here because they are so much more comfortable than a standard jacket and I love being able to put my hands in the front pocket to keep warm :3
|
For some reason the title reminded me of SnK.
Then again the big reveal and whatnot. |
It's a perfect mix of cooler air, less humidity, and plenty of Yoga Pants. It's heaven on earth.
Plus I can break out my sexy sweater collection. |
Speaking of sweaters and hoodies, I really need to make a trip to the mall and pick up a couple for this year as most of mine are getting a little small and faded.
|
Sometimes I wish weather can be borrowed at will.
|
I probably should make a trip to my favorite clothing store, I don't go there often enough and all the clothes in my size will probably be gone, what's worse, they do not have an online store so I can't order them.
For fall I need to buy long sleeve shirts, I seem to never have enough of those, though I have many sweaters. It's probably going to get to that time where it's too cool for short sleeves but too warm for sweaters soonish. |
I just ordered a hoodie online which should arrive sometime next week! Too bad I won't need it for another month or two, but it will be good to already have it :D
|
I actually wore a hoodie to church this morning! I love hoodies, they're so nice and warm. Plus I have a signature blue hoodie look around this time of year. Even if I get new hoodies, they have to be blue. It's like my trademark.
|
I like blue hoodies as well because it is my favorite color! However, I will wear one of any color as long as it isn't orange. Don't get me wrong I love the color, but it just doesn't look good on me.
|

Aww you guys get to wear hoodies outdoors! You're making me jelly ;-; My hoodies all hang mostly unused in my closet unless I decide to wear them, which is very unlikely given the everlasting hot and humid weather.
I don't have a blue hoodie. I wants one! :3 Blue is one of my top favourite colours, next to red. Speaking of which, I don't have a red hoodie either... Not like I'll be really needing it anyways~ |
Oh, a new Dcc. . .
I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume that the topic is hoodies. I don't really wear 'em. :x |
I've got several different hoodies, I wear some of them but now that we're coming into the colder months I think I'll start wearing them more often.
|
Since I'm one of those people who actually choose to dress appropriately depending on how the weather outside is, I'm still dressing in just t-shirts and shorts.. though I really cannot wait for the time to come around when I can wear pants and a hoodie at all.
|
As much as I am looking forward to cool weather and hoodies, I am not looking forward to wearing pants. I find them so uncomfortable and would much rather just wear shorts all year if possible.
|
Yay new DCC. :D
I love fall though. Beautiful weather and I can finally start wearing hoodies and my new awesome sneakers. |
I'm not the biggest fan of the summer, so I've literally been counting down to this day. I've always loved fall and winter weather and the ambiance that comes with this time of year. Also it means I don't have to deal with the terrible heat during my drives to school soon enough.
(and winter clothing is just awesome) |
Aw, missed the first page. :c
And fall is awesome only cause I'm an October baby. ;D |

I've seen you with that theme/avatar before, and for some reason I really like it! |
Oh my god, like actually. Walking Dead, XY, my birthday, and some other stuff that escapes me.
WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS PL0X |

There's so much TV to catch up on, though. And isn't Fall the season premier season, anyway? Nng. I need a DVR.
|
Speaking of catching up on TV, I need to finish catching up on Breaking Bad before the finale. Only a little more of season 3 to go before I start 4!
|
I don't watch a whole lot of TV, and the shows that I do watch I'm all caught up on pretty much.
My parents watch a lot of NCIS though, and they're anticipating the season premiere of that this Tuesday on CBS. |
CHASE. I'M STILL ON THE SAME EPISODE FROM LAST TIME. WTF.
And NCIS LA is a pretty amazing show, must admit. |
Quote:
I pulled 2 all nighters watching it because I was so hooked ;; I haven't watched any today though which is surprising. I've never seen NCIS :[ |
I haven't seen NCIS either. I just never got into it.
I don't watch a lot of TV, and all the shows I were into ended their season last Wednesday. Those shows would be America's Got Talent and Big Brother. Other than those shows, I don't really watch TV much. |
I've seen only one of their episodes. Well, I haven't actually seen it, but I had it on TV while I was doing some work on my computer. I've watched a lot of Law & Order episodes in my high school government class, though. It was a criminal show, just like NCIS.
I don't watch too many TV shows either, unfortunately. I only watch a few sport shows on occasion and also some cartoon shows, like Adventure Time and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. d: |
NCIS is alright, however I find it nothing special. It does seem to have more humor included than some other crime shows though. Im mostly a fan of Law and Order SVU, I just find it better.
|
I like NCIS but I never managed to get into it enough to actually follow the show itself. I do enjoy it whenever it comes on television and I happen to catch it though. The crime show I actually followed for a while was Criminal Minds but after missing an episode or two I fell behind and haven't been able to catch up since. The same with Psych but that'll be fixed once the latest season comes out on Netflix.
|
I find Criminal Minds a little bit more intense than L&O and L&O SVU. It's not really my favorite, Ive also watched CSI on a number of occasions but I think that's nothing special either.
|
Oh man, any Bones fans here? Emily Deschanel. <3
|
Quote:
That is another show that I have added to my watch list ;; I am so far behind on everything. |
I haven't watched Bones, but I did get into Criminal Minds after a while. Eventually I just kind of set it on the back burner and now I'll watch it if it's on, but I don't keep up with it.
|
I've watched Bones before, but it's only because I'm bored and I want to watch TV while having dinner. SVU is another I'll watch when bored. I don't watch a lot of TV except for Breaking Bad and How I Met Your Mother.
|
HIMYM is on its final season, and I'm still on season one. Awesome-sauce.
|
I've never watched Bones before, and to be honest, I have never heard about it either. xD I might've seen one of its commercials on TV, but I can't exactly be sure.
My mom and my sister watches How I Met Your Mother, but as for me, I never really got into it. The only episode that I have ever watched from this show was when Barney revealed that Bob Barker was his real father. I have no idea what this episode is called, but I think it was a part of season two. |
As a crime show fiend, I will chime in with my favorite shows, as well as my least favorite shows. Green=Love; Orange=Like; Red=Dislike
1. Criminal Minds is the best crime-investigation show! RIP Emily Prentiss :( The show balances the large cast, the characters' personal background, and the story-line of the various sociopaths and psychopaths they hunt down. Also, the stories are MEMORABLE and DISTINCT. 2. Bones, I love David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel. The show isn't as great as it was back in the day, but it's still the great mix of humor, intense action, and lots of fancy technology. Sometimes it does go board on the personal lives rather than the cases. 3. NCIS is pretty good, I wish there were more characters like criminal minds. The group dynamic is great though! 4. Coldcase, I have to say it is often a hit or miss. The character background is not strong, but the story lines of the people involved with the murdered person usually makes up for this. I love the injection of history and culture amid the various time periods of US history. As a whole though, it's a bunch of short stories with no connective thread between episodes with the recurring character development. 5. SVU, or, as I like to call it, SUV! This is a good show, but it does get fairly monotonous and the acting is pretty flat in comparison to the shows aforementioned. The show is unbalanced, and should just be called the Mariska show. She is pretty overestimated though :/ The storylines seem to repeat themselves over and over, I just find it to be hard to watch more than an occasional episode when nothing else is on. 6. Criminal Intent has the same issues as SVU, the only interesting character is Vicent Donofrio. The other characters might as well not be there. Though some of the scenes are really great, it's just monotonous given the limitations of the cast. 7 & 8. CSI Miami and NY, incredibly boring storylines with a cast to match. Though, I would say the forensics are interesting to watch. 9. NCIS LA, I will sum it up with this, "why?" All of the lackluster characteristics of some of these other shows magnified by ten. Even the acting is bad! |
I'm beginning to wonder whether I should get hold of DVD collections of crime shows
|
Help me lord, I need to finish up The Walking Dead. I am still 3 episodes left. I blame life. :(
|
Quote:
Finish please so we can fangirl :( |
I'm not a huge fan of The Walking Dead. I've watched one of their episodes from season two, but I've switched the channel after just three-six minutes. It's not a bad show or anything, but it just isn't for me. To be honest, I don't like anything that's horror. I've watched a horror movie last year called Silent Night, and it left me feeling quite nervous for almost three straight weeks. xD" I've watched it only because a few of my friends wanted me to. If it wasn't for them, then I probably wouldn't have seen it.
|
Quote:
Yeah The Walking Dead is certainly a show that isn't for everyone. It's really you like it or you don't because of the type of show it is. It doesn't fit the taste for quite a large audience. For those of us who do like it though, we cannot wait :D Only 20 more days! |
The Walking Dead is a show maybe I'd be interested in (same with Breaking Bad) because everyone I know keeps talking about the two, but I would have to catch up with both of them via Netflix, and I don't have Netflix at all :(
|
TWD is a cool show but I'm only at Season 2. Plenty of time before S4, thankfully.
|
All these season 2 Slowpokes. Come on guys, you gotta catch season 3 TWD! That was definitely by far the best season thus far.
|
Quote:
I endorse this statement 100% |
I'm one heck of a Slowpoke for sure as far as that The Walking Dead goes, because it's on cable TV where I am and I don't even have it! I really need to study more on the series to see what the fuss is about.
|
Quote:
|
I'm trying to catch on the series. I'd join the club but so much spoilers...
|
Who ya callin' slowpokes? I'm almost done with the entire show xD
& yeah, I'm hoping to join in the group but I'll be spoiled in the season finale. So imma wait. :P |
You guys are really tempting to make me convince my parents to get Netflix to watch the series >_>
But I'm kinda upset how AMC doesn't allow for free downloads to their shows if you're a cable/satellite subscriber and use your login credentials.. several other cable networks already do that and allow you to watch the channel online too |
I don't believe my sister or I watched the third Walking Dead season on Netflix yet. I think I started to lose attention after season one though oops. I'm very picky about my horror I guess. But if season three is better then I guess we'll just have to see if we get around to watching it!
I've heard about Sons of Anarchy but I've never watched it myself. |
I've heard about Sons of Anarchy as well, but never really gotten to known even the synopsis or the background behind the show at all..
Most of the time whenever I first hear about a TV show, even if it's been on for several years/seasons, it seems like a lot of people talk about it at the same time. Happened for The Walking Dead two years ago and now it's the same with Breaking Bad.. I guess I'm just that far out of the loop when it comes to watching shows on TV. |
Quote:
A lot of people stopped watching after season 1 because of how slow season 2 was, but season 3 really makes up for that and I say you should give it another go :D I have also never watched SoA, but I might actually like it and I need to give it a shot too. |
Oh, I actually haven't heard anything about Sons of Anarchy in a very long time, is that show still on air?
And god, season 2 was so slow. Only great part was was happened right before the midseason finale. Which brings something else up, why the **** do they even have those. >> |
As someone who took the time to watch season 2 of TWD, you should give yourself some patience because all the character development that goes on during the season will come back on season 3, and I say it's worth watching.
|
Quote:
Yeah, I can agree with this. I know personally I became so connected with so many of the characters because of the development that they got in season 2 and I feel that it was worth the tradeoff of less action for the development. |
I like what I saw of Glen so far in S2. Still dunno whether Sophia is dead or not.
Don't spoil! tyvm |
Quote:
Glen got some great development in season 2 and that led him to being one of my favorite characters in the entire series. |
So this is officially The Walking DCC? If it's not, then it sure seems like it doesn't it?
|
Quote:
|
Fall in America, Autumn in the rest of the world.
I either call it "Herfst" (Dutch), or "Jesień" (Polish), depending on the person I talk to. But in the end, I end up using both words frequently. |
Or "The Walker Daily Chit-Chat"
Or "The DCC for The Walking Dead" I got nothing. xD |
Quote:
Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you guys are walking (or running) in the morning? I remember I did walking on forests on occasion, and I like the fresh air when in there. |
Hmm... I see everyone talking about this thing called walking dead, and season and stuff. Could anybody care to elaborate?
|
It's when you have dead, and then they walk.
|
Quote:
omg i'm too scared to be sad to play this game :( |
Quote:
What is a dead anyways? A ghost? |
The Walking Dead. Mm... Is it 'safe' to watch if you tend to have quite severe paranoia after watching horror movies? I remember watching Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 and being very paranoid the following nights for about a week. :I
