See now this is what I'm talking about. You're not actually going to believe that? When people edit things on wikipedia, they don't change minor facts, no, that's not impressive and "cool", when that'd actually be the most damaging thing. Things like this are obvious, you're not actually going to write that down are you? Nope. Just go to another site.

Would this help?

The problem is that it's been "Poe is a ho" for an hour now, even though I've just gone to another site. Doesn't Wiki smash these problems seconds after they occur?

Hit Ctrl-F5...it's fine for me.
If not, go here.

I'm getting bored of this nasty old XP theme, I need to find some new ones. Is there a site that actually makes XP themes?

I've run out of things I want to play.

I just want something senseless to play for awhile, like WoW, but I really can't afford it, not that that's at the top of my list, I just want something like it to play for awhile to let my other games settle down.

Try out a free mmorpg. I played Fiesta for a bit, it's fun if you are alright with the cartoon graphics. There are other more serious ones out there, you just gotta look.

I just got bitched out by my 60 year old neighbor. Apparently 2PM is way too early in the day to be playing music while you clean your car.

Yeah, I just liked WoW. Probably won't end up doing anything about this, i'll just keep trudging along with the same old stuff.

You get two girlfriends and lose both of them within minutes (since they find out about eachother on the day you get them).

my letter from U of M came today. fail, as i expected, but what's really getting me down are their terms for applying for a transfer; i have to complete two years at another college/university before i can reapply. i figured if i didn't get in i'd take one year somewhere else to take care of most of my core classes, but i'm worried about how two years will affect me taking the computer science classes i'm really interested in...

Decided I wanted to see what this GTA IV thing was about, after hearing that the first review gave it a 10/10. Figured that since it's being released a few days after my B-Day, I would maybe consider buying it.

So, I went to watch some gameplay vids, what I usually do to check out a game before it's released. Upon looking around, I discovered that there aren't any. I don't understand how so much hype can be generated for this game when there isn't even any videos of gameplay? I don't get it. If I were to base it totally off the "commercial" videos that were out, I'd consider the game to be crap. I don't want to watch frigg'n cutscenes the entire game.

He's not a cranky old person! He's an awesome oldish person.

And the best person on TG.
