Yeah, unfortunately that's the downside when it comes to traveling for business. You'll never know what to expect when it comes to flights. :(

Ah, that storm from Vegas I was talking about...we're seeing a few of those effects here right now. Wooooo. *opens window*

I am afraid of thunder and lightning :B I still think it's majorly cool, but I get kind of nervous and can't sit still as soon as a thunderstorm starts. Dangerous things seldom happen from them here though. We don't have really strong storms and stuff, and lightning doesn't often strike somewhere harmful.

Since I live in the desert, most thunderstorms get really harsh. And we have more storms coming in tomorrow so there's something to look forward to :3

Storms are everyday and common here Florida (well, duh).. but on Saturday we had another one of those storms with lightning just striking above and around my house again.. TV service went out and I had to get off the computer just to make myself safe.

Ironically though my power did flash twice Saturday, but both times were not during this storm.

I can't imagine living in a land where natural disasters such as storms strike commonly. My country is just so safe and non-eventful. Which I like :p

Also look Zach, we're both flamy now~

Yay! Flame partners~ n_n

Anyways, I hope I just really didn't catch a cold or anything.. last night I had a sore throat but that resolved with some sleep. Now this morning it's trying to come back and my nose has been stuffy. :(

Tea. Tea helps. With, like, everything. It cheers you up, makes you warm and calm, tastes good (if you don't have nasty tea of course) and it's probably healthy in some way too.

Coffee is more my thing, but even I don't deny the greatness of tea.

Gah >.< too bad the only type of tea in my household is the sugar kind.. and my parents do not like brewed tea nor hot tea, so those kinda eliminate my options..

But I'll talk to them and consider sugar-free tea.. we had sugar-free tea in the house with those Crystal light packets that you pour into a water bottle and mix up, but I ran through those quickly :P

There is... sugar tea? How does that even work. You mean some bottled kind?

I only have hot tea. I boil water and put a teabag in. Or sometimes use this little tea-thingy of metal don't know what it's called in English where you scoop up some loose tea and dip it into the water for a while. Usually smells even better than the bagged tea :3

Oh my gosh if you came to America sugar tea is all that many of us drink (if you want tea that is), and it's iced most of the time too..

Haha, and you are in the progress of corrupting our television shows :( TV is getting so americanized here. And I don't mean they're getting English speaking, I mean in their style.

Ohhhh the kinda rants I could go on about the Americanisation (and Rika - "americanized" is an Americanisation in itself, haha) of England would probably get me fired. The worst part is how many people here don't really know / care about it, which kinda makes me wonder if I'm just odd. d:

It's bad enough that internet browsers over here don't recognise non-American spelling in spell checkers.. I guess that's a localisation thing? :p

(Yes I honourably used British spellings on purpose)

Yeah but I think the letter z is cool so I like to use those spellings, haha, rather than how you British or Australian people do it. Civilisation? Localisation? Looks so corny tihihi.

BTW mega blaziken is the coolest thing ever, agree with me nao.

Blasiken in British?

I know there's some linguistic debate about the origin of 'z' in words like civilisation/organise and whatnot. Some say Americanisation, others say that 'z's have been used since the olden days of English? For me, it's a case of personal preference, irrespective of 'proper' usage. I just think it looks neater! :D

It always sort of bugged me as a kid when playing Pokémon when the in-game mother was called Mom. Australia uses British English but seems to always get the American English instead. (And it didn't even make sense with GSC - we got those games before Europe and America!)

American english annoys me also but I would be ever so grateful for opinions :). Pls halp meh bcoz im trapped

I recently started a job in retail and I get along so incredibly well with one of my coworkers who just so happens to be single. She is fantastically delightful, she's funny, understands my humour, is generally a lovely person, and she's drop dead gorgeous.
We just talked most of the shift about everything, from favourite colours, hobbies and everything up to recent relationships.
The problem I have is that I'm 19, she just turned 17 and I don't know if it's appropriate for me to date someone my little brothers age.

Also taking into consideration everything I know about her she won't be single for much longer so I have to act fast if I do anything about it.

Thoughts?
