DCC Winter Wonderland '13-'14 Daily Chit-Chat Note: this was written by Castform. Edits will be made in due time Here we are at Winter Wonderland everyone! Otherwise known as the wonderful home of the Daily-Chit Chat. Whether you are enjoying the perks of Winter such as Christmas or Hanukkah or just wanting this frigid cold(or hot) season to end the DCC is just the place to discuss that! Here with your fellow PC members you will find yourself discussing anything and everything that there is to discuss. From food to weather you are sure to find it here. Just make sure to stick by these few simple rules and you are sure to have a great time. Now if you will excuse me, I think it's time for me to transform into my Winter form because it's quite chilly outside. Have fun everyone! Rules: ❄ Stick with the current topic! If you don't like the current topic, or don't know anything about it, and wish to talk about something else, you have a few options, none of which are "blatantly post something off topic". You can either post something related to the current topic and slyly put what you want to talk about there, or simply try your best with the topic at hand. Anything other than that will be considered off topic. ❄ Try to keep up! So you want to talk about the current topic but don't know what it's about. Instead of asking what the current topic is, read a few posts and find out for yourself. It's not that difficult, and would only take a minute or two. ❄ Converse. Don't just make a post saying "Hi DCC, what's up?!" and leave it at that. Posts of that nature will be considered off topic. ❄ The 25 characters/4 words rule. Like it or not, this one must be followed. ❄ No trolling/flaming/hating. This thread is meant to be a light hearted one, but if Andy, Dipu or I notice things are going out of hand, we won't hesitate to butt in. Light-hearted as it may be, it still follows PC's rules. Now that you have read the rules it's time to give you the most important one, have fun! Begin chatting away you wonderful people :D |
wow this thread is so empty! hopefully no more dupes in this thread :3
|
I'm staying at home for the first time in a few years now. That's fine with me, though, despite it being 80 degrees when it should be 2.
|
I'm going to be at home for Christmas but am making plans to go visit my boyfriend afterwards. So excited! <3 And the presents I got for myself should be arriving very soon, though one of them will be a little late. ;_;
|
I'll probably be staying home for Christmas again, but god the weather is so stinking hot in Australia right now. Thankfully I can still look at images of snowflakes on Tumblr to keep my mind off the heat.
|
I'm gonna be home for Christmas most likely. Don't celebrate it :c If I'm able to go somewhere with my girlfriend, I will, but that doesn't look likely.
|
I think I'm going to try my best and stay out of this DCC :P
|
You've already failed. Shame shame shame.
|
I hope the double posting madness is gone along with the last thread.
|
I'm going to be very very busy starting today....Christmas is really beating me hard. xD Right now I got two holiday hams cookin' and going to do some last last last last min shopping with my sister who's visiting from San Diego and still hasn't started on her shopping.
And yet, it's family bonding and all. xD |
The only 'special' thing about christmas for me is this
I don't celebrate it but the Kill la Kill ost releasing on 25th is just a sweet gift for me if nothing more. I mean, I will listen to it all day everyday. DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAYYYY~ |
Hello new DCC! :D
My dad is already wrapping presents for Wednesday morning.. but usually my parents don't do them until at least 5-7 days before Christmas. |
Oh a new DCC!!
We haven't bought Christmas gifts in ages so we're not wrapping gifts. We'll be going to our aunt's party for Christmas, like every year. |
gdi Dipu, the title threw me off. I just legit checked the DCC just a second ago. xD
|
Sorry! Just figured it'd be a neat way to remind people :P
|
Eh, I'm sure that everyone who has wanted to vote in MotY has already just about done so
|
Bad move dipu. Deadpool gun' spank ya for eet.
|
I haven't lmao. And I'll be doing so right about.....*click* now!
|
Yeah the participation in MOTY always leave something to be desired...
|
I'd imagine most members being like me. I've ony voted in one section specific Moty - A&D. And my post is incomplete there too lmao.
Either way, most aren't active outside of a section or two and those are the ones where they vote. |
Don't worry Dipu, I already voted in CCP's MOTY and a few others iirc. I usually vote for the main one and in the sections I frequent often enough.
|
I haven't voted because... well... I still don't think I know people well enough in this forum.
|
This year was the first time I've participated in member of the year, but that's because I was a lurker turned poster partially xD
|
@lugia - pretty much why many others like you and me haven't voted in sections other than the ones where they're active.
|
I think that the sections I visit are plenty for me to get to know a lot of those active around PC, except for maybe FG which isn't a section I venture into all too often.
|
I know people well enough in most sections to vote, but I've only voted in ones like CCP and my own forum, as well as Battle Center.
|
I haven't voted anywhere yet uuugh. ;( Too many people stick out to me this time around, it's impossible. I'll probably head over to Pokemon Clubs to cast votes there though, since I'm most familiar with that board nowadays~
|
I was a little reluctant to vote tooooo, since everyone I've spoken with was great in one way or another. ;-; I gave it a shot anyways, buuuut, I'd like to give a shoutout to those people somehow~
|
I'm not sure if I was reluctant to vote or not in MotY, but mainly because I edited my ballot at least seven or eight times in the span of an hour.
|
Haven't voted in the MotY for now since there's so many people that stick to me and too little space to vote ;-;
|
I voted in the main moty and tech and internet one but that's about it.
|
I cast my votes in MotY few weeks ago. It's not complete yet, but will get it done before the 31st… if I remember to, haha.
|
Haven't voted at all, was way too inactive to make such choices.Anyway, just came back from a concert, and I feel like an old man right now. So many stupid 15 year olds its not funny, couldn't even have a decent mosh.
|
I haven't voted in any of the MotY threads and I have no plans to. I have friends in all of the forums that I'm active enough to be able to vote, so I'm too biased.
Apparently I have one vote on the main thread (favorite female), and several in GE for one category. Last I checked, I was winning the latter. |
I don't even think the person who I voted for MotY for has seen my post. Then again, I got like one vote in something out of all the votes (thank you AW!). Doesn't matter to me. Popularity isn't everything, right?

I am 100% not a concert person. I will be boring and sit in silence at home with hot chocolate. ^-^
But as for MotY, I don't have plans to vote in the main event ballots. I could probably write an essay with all the people I'd want to include. |
Concerts are awesome. I went with my dad and one of his old band buddies named Toast to a punk concert in Pueblo, CO. There was a mosh pit and everything! :D
|
I only go to chill concerts like Death Cab and stuff like that.
|
I've never even been to a large concert before so I wouldn't even know what it'd feel like..

I voted in the main poll and some of the forum-specific ones. I'm surprised I'm getting so many mentions in the main poll for "Most PC spirited". Heck, I even seem to be winning one of the categories in the General Pokemon Gaming Discussions variant.

|
I've never really been keen on popularity contests such as MotY, but I still cast my ballot just for the fun of it.
|
Still I don't get why I'm most likely to fall asleep on my computer >_>
|
Heh, name changes, I kinda forgot those got reinstated there lmao
But I can agree that name changes coming back at a time like this kinda have made things a little more difficult for identifying who's who for things such as MotY |
I was wondering why I hadn't got any updates from the DCC in around 11 hours....

I'm not looking forward to the overly christmasy-ness of everything though. Quote:
And people have such a bad opinion of metal-heads a lot of the time. It's a shame. Quote:
This one is adorable, and suits you. You should keep it, it's a pleasure to look at. I should go vote in that MOTY thing now, I guess. |
Somniac, that just goes to show that you cannot judge a book by its cover. I've met the nicest people and they just happen to be metalheads or goths or whatever.

And thanks, I'm doing Elsa for the Christmas period and I'll probably change it up again after Christmas. |
Quote:
I felt I just had to point it out. |
Quote:
So many 1's... I already have 3 of them in my full birthdate already. Heck I was born on the 1st of a month (the 10th month in fact, which has a 1 in it) so I guess that's why it might be one of my lucky numbers. |
Quote:
Speaking of which... holy ****, I just realized I passed the 2000 post mark. |
Back in the day, I had never thought I'd be able to pass the 5,000 post mark here on PC, but that was back in 2011 when I didn't even have 100 posts yet and saw all of these people that joined after I did with like 4k posts.
|
It's always kind of interesting when the topic of post count is brought up. Only because the realization that I have over 6000 posts on this forum sets in every time, and I wonder just how I managed to get that many posts here.
Also, it's fun to hit particular number milestones. Despite me saying that post count isn't a big deal to me, I still like watching the number increase. |
Does anyone keep albums for their post count milestones? I got one with my 250, 500, and 750 postcount marks, and I'm working really hard on getting 1000 posts. tPC'll be the first forum that I've ever had a thousand posts on!
|
No, I don't keep albums for them. Never used the album anyway xD probs because I'm too lazy to check how many posts I have and when I reach a milestone :P
|
I screencap milestones for sure, but I don't have an album dedicated for them.. they just go into my general PC screengrabs album
|
I screencap milestones every now and then, they're quite fun to do.
|
I'm just aiming to go over 9000.
wanted to say that SO bad |
I used to keep track of my postcount, but somewhere after reaching 1000 I stopped caring.
|
I never really cared much about post count.
|
Strange thing to say, but I care but don't care about post counts at the same time. I like seeing it grow slowly (or out of nowhere if you're not paying attention), but other than that, eh.
|
Currently I was aiming for bigger post counts because I was aiming to get a blog in here because it takes 5,000 posts to be able to use it. Even though, I want to do it with my own pace though, because it's no good if I force it too hard.
|
I don't use blogs in here, because I'd figure nobody would even know I posted one.
|
Quote:
|
Hit 2,000 posts few weeks ago. Not sure when I'll be getting to 3,000, but my guess is that it'd be sometime around late February or early March. :p I don't use blogs, either. I may post an entry someday, but have no idea what the topic would be about.
|
Be like me and post about the random stuff that goes on in your life. Then again, that sort of stuff annoys some people, so maybe that's not a good idea :P
|
A new DCC? :O
But this one is written with such excitement and happiness; where is the negativity I seek to spread? |
Quote:
& awesome, new DCC=New party |
It is non-existent. Spread the joy, tis the time to be merry!

I mean, I can't have the same boring theme every Christmas can I? |
Quote:
Variations are nice so that we won't be bored, so that's nice Hika. Btw, in my case, I didn't using any Christmas theme except for a merely simple texts in my sig a year ago that I've decided to use it now. I was a heavy noob a year ago {XD} |

And yeah, Elsa is really beautiful. I've heard that Frozen is said to be a really good movie. |

Plus, there's always those kids who love visiting those department store Santas. Westfield, which is one of the biggest shopping mall chains in the country, have very beautiful decorations up during the Christmas period. |

Quote:
There's even a song by the Australian children's performing group Hi-5 which sings about Santa wearing shorts. What a way to reference the Australian summer that we have during Christmas! |

And then after this there's New Year's Eve, if one doesn't know already my home city of Sydney has one of the biggest fireworks displays in the world. They always love to put more effort into the fireworks every year, and funnily enough it's not going to be broadcasted on a major commercial channel this year but on the ABC instead. I wonder how the ABC's lack of commercial advertising will make the experience different. |

Duuuuude, Aldi was the shiz back in Carolina. They beat everyone's prices on next to everything!
I had absolutely no idea they were a super popular international chain. That boggles my mind! Quote:
uh-huh u kno what it do |
Quote:
|
Aldi has been heavily expanding in Australia the last 12 years. In fact, they now have way more stores here now then they did in 2001 when they first broke into Australia. I don't trust their products though, I have something against "generic" brands.
|
I don't see Aldi in my country yet, but my country have some equivalent stores like hypermart (yep, the lowercase on h is intentional), Giant, Carrefour, and Indomaret, among all things. And I personally prefer buying the well-known products more than their own products for some reason.
|
We have Aldi stores here in my area as well.. and I kinda figured as such that they were one of those international supermarket chains, because of a name like that xD we never shop at them though
|

It was pretty good considering it was a £5 bottle of schnapps. Unrelated: I now have a nice colorful name. |
I have a thing against generic brands of food, It's because I think they'll taste bad.
And wow congrats on the supportership Somniac! Green looks kinda sexy on you. |
My post count exploded this year -- from about 1800 to what it is now and who knows what it'll be by year's end xD Yeah, I know I'm reaching towards an old topic but who cares xD
And Somniac, congratulations :) It does fit you quite well. |
I still need to increase from this Tier 1 :[ hopefully it can be a Christmas present to PC for my parents to let me donate here.
|
Whenever I post in here with one of the few black names I feel so down. I know labels don't matter as much as quality, but still. :(

Quote:
|
I was working toward 5,000 posts, too, until Dipu decided be to awesome and give me the supportership he won. My memory hates me and I didn't know him real well, so I'm having trouble remembering, but I think it was Mr. X who put the supportership up in the first place.
The operator symbols look a little funky like this, but I don't mind. I'm used to having a green/italicized name, so it would seem weird otherwise. |
I had around 5,000 posts at the beginning of the year. Where did my life go...
|
I made all my current posts in a 1-year period considering I only started being active in December. Seeing as I have no life, achieving more will be rather easy.

I've only made about 300 posts all year long in 2013. That's more than everyone combined, woot woot! ^_^ |
