Welp waking up after 3 hours of sleep. My doggie decided to jump on my bed this morning and get me up early. I love him though so it's okay <3
Also morning my red babes |
Not good Chase, we're down a member because Alex has been a bad boy
|
Well let's not talk about what Alex did. But Team Red will be okay! We will still take down those blue boobs ;D
|
I know about the whole "ban privacy" thing but I hope we can get someone new to come in and take his place...
|
Red vs Blue is still taking signups so we will get some more partners soon!
|
Please feel for me as I am suffering terrible reminders of that nasty time I had in 2011... I really don't want to call it quits because I'm so brittle and insecure

There was a job I was interviewed for, but I had to leave my place 2 1/2 hours before the actual interview because I had to cross the city with two major highways, and one of the highways are known to be absolutely awful during rush hour traffic. I barely made it.
|
I have a job. I wish I lived closer to work because I could conceivably wake up an hour later if I lived 20 minutes closer -_-
|
If I get this job, it is only about 20 minutes by car from my house. That isn't too bad imo.
|
If I get any of these jobs I've applied for I'll only be about 5 minutes away on foot.
|
Oh you people who can walk to jobs sure are lucky haha. I don't really live close to any business as I live out. Means I have to drive pretty much everywhere and with gas prices so high....
|
It seems that there's still some confusion. So let me try to make this as clear as possible. This is how the scoring for the quote war works.
Every time you quote someone from the Blue Team you get a point. It doesn't matter if someone posts before you or after you, you get a point for quoting anyone from the blue team. That being said, every time you quote someone try to post a link to the post so that at the end of the week we can go through and tally it all. Now as for chains. A chain is created when one person quotes someone from the other team, and then the person who was quoted comes in and quotes the person who quoted them. Hallelujah it's a chain! Now as long as nobody else (regardless of if they're on your team, the opposite team or not on any team) pops up and breaks the chain of quotes, then you get a chain count. And you get a point for each and every quote that you've made regardless of if you were the last quoter or not. So here's an example. If person X says that they like pickles and then person Y quotes them asking if they've ever had kool-aid pickles, then that's a point for person Y because they just quoted person X. Now it becomes a chain if person X comes back and quotes person Y without someone popping in between them. It's just like a conversation. Now this chain goes on until person Z - who could be literally anyone - comes in and posts. So the chain starts with the first quote, Y quotes X and sets it all off. Then when X quotes Y that's a 2 quote chain. Y quotes X again it's a 3 quote chain, and this goes on until person Z decides to ruin the fun. If anyone still has any questions just bring them to me and I'll help you out. |
Thanks for clearing that up, buddy! You explain it way better than I do when people ask haha
|
I prefer to drive.
Even though I'm about 10 minutes from both work and uni, I'm still planning to move even closer. Because the traffic seriously kills my commute, so sometimes I have to leave my place over 1 hour or so before, in case I get into traffic. Hopefully I'll be able to get a place by the end of the summer. Although Houston's public transportation is decent, and cheap. |
I drive at times, but with uni at most I drive to the train station and enjoy an hour+ train trip. I may move closer with a friend to uni this year, but then I'll be significantly poorer. =(
Luckily I have some income from the uni already (plus tutoring!), but when I near the end of my PhD it'll be application-sending time. |
Yeah. Houston's public transportation system is about to get renovated soon as well.
Although I really miss San Diego's system. FUCK YEAH TRAINS AND TROLLEYS. |
I don't know too much about our public transportation system. I know bus fare isn't too bad and then there's the public access bus that costs a dollar to go anywhere in about a 10 mile radius but they have certain stops kinda like a bus. We don't have many bike paths though which really irks me.
|
Our train system (Sydney Trains, formerly CityRail) is not the best. I don't have many complaints about buses but rarely catch them anyway, and sydney traffic can be pretty terrible at times so I imagine buses are also affected.
|
My experience with buses is okay during summer time, then it's a decent way of transport. But in winter or when it's raining for the first day after a week without, the bus always has some delay. Once I even had 45 minutes delay (on a trip of about half an hour).
|
Quote:
|
It's good to not be too much reliant on public transportation services. No more waiting an hour for a bus just to get home, every day and being able to decide on your own when and where you want to go is just great. The only downside is that maintaining a car can get really expensive, especially when it gets older.

I wanted a Fiat 500 Pop.
But then, living in Texas now, I want a truuuuuuck. A sexy truck. http://pictures.dealer.com//l/leechryslerdodgeftwaltonbeachcllc/1852/29cef5ff404638720067ec2807e50444.jpg |
Gonna hijack this thread and just say that man the beach is such a great place. I went today just to enjoy myself and I had a blast. I love the water so much n_n
|
You should make a day of it, derk! It's so fun and relaxing n_n
|
I wish I was closer as well. It takes me roughly 2 hours to get to the nearest beach D:
|
It makes me so happy that I live about 45 minutes from Galveston. :3 Been thinking of spending the day over there sometime. It's so beautiful. <3
|
I love the beach and enjoy swimming very much.
Also, I agree, Megan! Galveston is such a beautiful place. |
I live about an hour and 15 minutes from the closest beach. I can't wait to go!
|
The only bad part about it is all of the sand :( I had so much sand on me on the ride home despite rinsing off.
|
But sand is so great! I love burying my feet in the beach, it is such a unique sensation. Feet buried, waves slowly crashing against you, unburying and burying your feet again with every crash, the warmth of the sun on the skin and the smell of the ocean.
|
I dislike the ocean and I hate sand. All it is good for is getting everywhere and making you uncomfortable. And then you have to take a shower even if you accidentally stepped in it because it gets everywhere and then you track it in the house and blah blah blah blah. Sand is such a nuisance.
If I knew how to swim I might like the water more. But as it stands I just go out and see how far I can get while still being able to touch the bottom and then get on a board and float or ride the waves back to shore. |
The beach and other out door things meant for the summer suck to all hell. I can't stand the heat, and bees and wasp. I don't mind pools, but not anymore since the transgender thing and the whole my body is something I hate thing.
|
Now that I think about it, I keep hearing that summer at the gulf coast can get really, really sticky due to the freaking humidty. Man, I can handle 120+ degree weather back in Cali, but who knows how long I can withstand the summer heat here.
I can always hit the beach anyways! We all should throw a beach party sometime. |
I haven't swimming at the beach in years, because I always found changing out after you finish to be a big hassle. The public toilets were just so confined ugh.
|
The next beach is about 5 hours away from my place. I haven't been there for years. While I'm not neccessarily a fan of all the sand, what I do like about those places is the salty air and fish dishes.
|
I have never been to a beach in my life.
But then again this isn't surprising because I live in Kentucky and I've only even been to one other state. So... Yeah. |
Australia is a literal island that's surrounded by so much water, that's why our beaches are always flocking over the hot months. The hot climate means we love our aquatic activities.

I have been to Tennessee a lot though. |
Tennessee is one of the few southern states I haven't been to much. Went there as a kid but not since! Going to vacation there this winter with my family. Should be fun :3
|
We usually stop in at Tennessee on our yearly trip down to Florida and at least go to Gatlinburg if nothing else.
|
Went to Worlds of Fun when I was in Kansas City, I bought a pizza combo that cost $15. The pizza slice wasn't even that big enough, and I got a small drink. Most overpriced meal I ever bought.
edit: OH GEEZ I FORGOT THERE WAS ANOTHER PAGE. |
Quote:
Most of the time we go for 9 or 10 days and take a couple for relaxing and then we spend a day at several different parks. |
I would totally go to Nashville, Tennessee. It's the capital of country music, after all!
Quote:
|
omfg derky you are making me want to freaking GO THERE.
|
I would go back to Kansas City for the bbq. Only for that. I tried out a sandwich called the "Z-Man" which is basically a brisket sandwich filled with cheese and onion rings, and o. m. f. g. best sandwich i have ever tasted.
Hey Derky, does Sea World in Florida has a "Dine with Shamu" thing? My older sister went with her kids a few weeks ago in San Diego and it was amazing. |
I have arrived!
Speaking of BBQ, there was a BBQ festival here not too long ago. Lots of yummy samples. I'm a pulled pork girl if you've ever met one. |
Quote:
|
The red army is expanding. yay!
Same here, Chika. :D BBQ pulled pork is simply the best. <3 |
What kinds of sauces does everyone like? Some people like their bbq to be more vinegary, but I don't see why. I much prefer my bbq to be sweet over anything. Sweet Baby Ray's does it pretty good. That stuff is the bomb.
|
every time i go to smokey bones with my cousin she steals her favorite sauces off the table and makes bomb sauteed meats at home
|
bbq sauce is bbq sauce to me, I usually don't eat it unless it's used to flavor chicken or pork. Then I care about how good the meat is more than what kind of bbq sauce is used -w-
On the topic of VINEGAR, I'm a huge fan of balsamic vinaigrette. Also, where's my garlic fans at? |
Quote:
Garlic is love yo <3 Also welcome to the reds!! |
Quote:
I seriously put garlic in everything. |
The spicier, the better...when it comes to BBQ sauce.
Anyone been to Famous Daves? They have an awesome sauce called The Devil's Spit. It's so freaking hot. You will have to refill your drink every so often. |
Here is something funny, I am red green colourblind yet I am on the red team ;)

Anyone else turning up for cinco de mayo today?
I'm using it as an excuse to get margaritas and nachos |
There was a taco truck at my school today. :D
|
I'm not turning up, but I made some guacamole which turned out awesome.
|
Speaking of tacos I had some amazing ones for dinner n_n
|
I had some fish tacos and some rice. Nothing exciting though.

Speaking of Sinko de Mayo
Attachment 74921 |
Went to a Cinco De Mayo festival with a friend before class today. we pretty much hit every single taco stand and mexican food booth. I was craving for a margarita though. xD
|
... Uh, hey there my food-loving #radreds, I hope I wasn't disturbing this great conversation ^_^"!
All for One, and One for all! |
Here to report the damage of cinco de mayo was $81 not including the $16 tip

Yes Madam I am! A draco meteor to bluublods, incorrect spelling was totally intentional btw! I am looking forward to the next challenge, I wonder what the TT mods have cooked up for us? On topic, on Saturday I spent 7 hours shopping and that included a doctor's appointment that was first up on that day followed by a haircutting appointment for my older sister, we had Tim Horton's for breakfast so by the time we got home, we were super hungry~ Did I mention it's hard to find professional apparel these days? |
I feel like the quote-thing wasn't really engaging. I had like one major spree and after that I completely lost interest. It's not quoting for discussion's sake, but rather for the sake of quoting, which doesn't really lead to quality posts, imo. Add to that that you have to keep track of your quotes yourself as well and you create a disappointing game.
I really hope the next one's going to be better. :) |
Guys we have a bonus event for the rest of this challenge! http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=348524 It is a good way to earn some final bonus points so check it out and get to recording n_n
|

I am so excited about this really. I will DEFINITELY make a trip when this happens omg :o |
If only my family wasn't poor and visiting wasn't impossible atm. ;~;
|
My family is like incredibly poor. I'm now facing the fear we could be homeless and it'll all be my brother's fault because he believes working is totally nonexistent. And it'll hurt me a lot because it means saying goodbye to this place forever.
|
Awww Hikari :( I hope things get better for you and your family! Stay positive about things okay?
Also, just posting to announce that The Great Quote War event was extended just a bit for the Vocaroo thread but round two of Red vs Blue is just around the corner and will be announced at some point today! Stay tuned n_n |
The Vocaroo thread is really funny to hear, it's really impractical to have your conversations like that. I'm just too shy to actually post something there.
Awaiting round two, I'm curious about what you came up with next. |
I don't think I'll even try Vocaroo, especially as I'm scared of even hearing my own recordings.
