Interesting how Randomling has to enter the politeness stage....

I feel like Jane Goodall; I've finally been accepted into the tribe. Now, I can study these wombats, and learn their secret fighting techniques.

OK, I'll bite; I'm going to visit your board.

And as for how I'm doing, it's pretty good, now that my hangover is gone; I drank almost 3/4's of a 1.75 liter bottle of 80 proof, cheap vodka last night, which explains some of my posts(not to mention some of the notes I left myself in my black notebook).

Yep, its in North Wales. Reason for the move? The half-truth is that I've always wanted to move to somewhere in the UK...the real truth is that its where my girlfriend(...probably more than girlfriend within a few months...*cough*) happens to live. Never believe what people say about meeting people on the internet! I met her almost 7 years ago and she'd actually flown over here a few times. I'm actually looking at taking some classes at the University there...I'm told its really good.

So blackshirt... how old are you and what do the New Jersey drinking laws say?

Like I care... took me a while to recover from my birthday party... but drinking cheap vodka by yourself isn't fun drinking in my experience!

Look forward to seeing you at my boards!

Oh... and I'm not sure we wombats have any secret fighting techniques, it's pretty much claw, claw, bite.

Isn't there some saying about drinking alone?

blackshirt5 · Jul 4, 2003

I'm old enough to be distraught over my girlfriend's actions, I'm old enough to drink this; that's not the states perspective on the matter, but it's mine. And for right now, it's my house. I wouldn't have drank alone, except that the guys had already gone home(plus, Angcuru and Vechs don't drink, and RakeRon had to drive).

I was mostly teasing you.

I imagine there's hardly a person on the planet who waited till it was legal before they started drinking: no fun in it! But that doesn't sound like fun drinking.

My boards have a whole forum for you to stress in, you know, should you happen to need it.

Have fun with the game! It's a little big for me to download on dialup but looked rather cool!

Hey, it's not that uncommon really!!

Actually, I know a few people. My borther-in-law's little sister(who hopefully, assuming things don't work out between me and Elizabeth, will be more than just my brother-in-law's relative to me) waited till she was 21 to drink. Vechs(from here) is 21 and I don't think he's ever drank; at the very least he turns it down every time I offer. So yeah, I know a few people, but they're all freaks.

The game's a bit big for me even on cable; I had time to go take a shower and brush my hair out and it's still downloading!
