*points to subtitle.*

Get it? Keep you "posted"? Eh? EH?! Okay, I'll stop.

With TRT aside, it has come to my attention that there should be a topic that allows you to chat with one another (with or without the randomness, it's your choice).

Have fun, and be friendly. ;)

EDIT: Since this has been moved to the Off-Topic forum, there are rules to go by now.

1. No spamming. That means no 4 words or less posts.
2. Don't be random. It doesn't suit a chat topic.
3. Be constructive with your posts.

Conversation disobeying these rules will result in a warn increase. Continued breaking of these rules will result in further punishment, such as a suspension. Also, it as well could endanger the topic of being sent back to the Spam/Testing forum or be deleted.

[Ganon]

Um..so hows the weather where everyone is?

[TobiasMar]

Please don't delete TRTIII! :'(

[Ganon]

Yeah, keep trt and put this in the off topic forum!

[Kikuichimonji]

Hi my name is <insert name> what's your name?

[Ganon]

Mine is </name>.Hows the weather?

[Silo STATIC]

No, no, no. I'm not gonna delete TRT. I just made this so we can actually have a chat topic ... like ... in chat rooms ...

... Sorta.

[Ganon]

Maybe you should make an actuall chat thread and put it in the off-topic forum.

[ForteGX]

And Gimli, you blow it, we kill it.

Don't start up your foolish random crap here, too. ;)

[Silo STATIC]

Yeah. We don't need anymore Spam in the Spam/Testing forum. Just look around.

[Ganon]

Yeah.I still think this should be in the off topic but....

So hows the weather where you guys are?

[Kikuichimonji]

o.o

anyway, errr, the weather is fine here, you?

[ForteGX]

*crosses fingers*

Snow day, snow day, snow day...

It's a half day, anyways, so if there's as much as a 2 hour delay, school will be closed. ;)

[Toad King]

There might be a snowstorm tonight, meaning no school.

(That means great)

[Silo STATIC]

It's raining where I am. I wish it were rather snow ... ;);

[Ganon]

I'm fine. It was another sunny day in south florida...boring...

[Kikuichimonji]

canadians have it the best though ;) lucky people.

but here, even if there is only an inch of snow, we have a snowday. Pathetic but great -_-

[Ganon]

Heh, yeah...I can't belive I just posted a chapter in a story I never created in the TRT. Thats kinda wierd(?)Ah, but I like my ability to do something out of the blue...o.o

[Silo STATIC]

I think I hate the rain now ...

*mumble* ... God hates Pennsylvania ... *mumbles*

[kate]

*coughs* we have it the best??? someone hasn't been to Edmonton (or even heard of it, probably ;) ) it's freezing...we don't get a day off school until it's -30C or if we can't make it out the door because of snow...and i'm not kidding...>.<

[Kikuichimonji]

hah, it rains most of the time here...boring

kate- you mean edmonton, alberta? nope but I've been to timmins which is way north ontario

I love this province name- saskatchewan, it has a nice ring to it

[Ganon]

Meh, don't say that! I like teh rain! As long as I'm not in tennesse and in a mountain cabin and the lights go out and...well froget that! Bad experience on vacation!

[Echo_djinn]

Went with my idea huh? I like.

[Ganon]

Huh? Whadda ya mean ED?

[Silo STATIC]

Okay, this topic is getting moved to Off-Topic, but here's the rules:

1. No spamming. That means no 4 words or less posts.
2. Don't be random. It doesn't suit a chat topic.
3. Be constructive with your posts.

Thanks.

||MOVED||

[Ganon]

Sweet! I knew this would work as a off-topic thing.... ;)

[Echo_djinn]

Wait do you think that is a good idea Silo? Did you ask the admins about this?

[Ganon]

It should be okay as long as we don't spam in this! Kinda like TRT's good twin

[Silo STATIC]

Echo_djinn, on Jan 5 2005, 08:35 PM, said:

Yes. I asked Nick first, and he seems alright with it, as long as conversation within this topic obeys the rules I put up.

[Echo_djinn]

No I mean people can chat like crazy here and then their post count will go up like crazy.

[Ganon]

Heh. Its about time this forum gets a good healthy chat thread! Not a spam hate filled one though.

Oh yeah! About what ED just said, Well its okay if they chat like crazy as long as its not just spam and has some meaning! Its one thing if I spam and get high posts and another if I post something worth reading.

This post has been edited by Ganon: 05 January 2005 - 06:44 PM

[Kikuichimonji]

and don't worry ED, silo said constructive posts

anyway, like ganon said, nice normal talk is a nice change

[Silo STATIC]

Anyway, let's start with a topic for this topic. How about ... talking about how school's going for you guys?

[kate]

well, spam is defined as off topic or less then 5 words (and mebbe something else, i can't remember) and since the topic is anything we wish (well, within reason) and we can't put less then 5 words as silo stated, it's technically not spam, so why shouldn't it increase our post count?

[Kikuichimonji]

*cough* weird start but meh

I go back to school tommorow...and I haven't finished my project :S

I hope I can finish it during lunch period >>

[Ganon]

Oh schools fine! My friends are okay except this one is making this REALLY mean joke about this old friend of ours who's going to another school now. He says he has cancer now! How bad is that? What kind of tortureous mind did he have at the moment...

[kate]

<.< meep sorry, same time posting o.oU and i'm not going back to school until tomorrow, but i still haven't done my homework <.<

[Ganon]

I still have about 4 days until school time again...Atleast I'll be able to see my friends again!

[Silo STATIC]

I have homework to both finish and fix up, but I'm procrastinating. I'll do it when it gets close to 10 PM.

[Nick Presta]

I've already been in school for a few days (since Monday) and I'm already hating it...again.

Other than that, school is going GREAT =p

[Silo STATIC]

Yeah, well, I still need to get used to school again. Usually (before vacation), I was just gliding through each day, with little or no activity happening. Just the same basic thing, really.

*goes with the flow* Kik you really shouldn't do that. I tried that and I couldn't get anything done in one hour so I failed.(It still haunts me today).

[Kikuichimonji]

hehe, it's just adding finishing touches...besides I need some orange paint -_- go figure

AND I was on holiday so nyanya...okay lame but...shh

[Silo STATIC]

Well, I admit the holiday bit is a good excuse, but right now, you could be off the computer and working on it. -_-

Heh poor excuse. I still remember that mistake. I could have had an 80% for that subject but I was to lazy. Now I am at 74% for that subject.(by the way it's a english subject)

[Silo STATIC]

Grades have been pretty bad for me ... I seem to be failing Algebra I, Part I, even if my Learning Support teacher doesn't think so.

... It's a 57%. *shudder*

[kate]

<.< i always put things off to the last minute...my grades don't suffer but my nerves do...

[Kikuichimonji]

XD same, I try like at the beginning of terms but then downhill from then

It's like when I write in exercise books, at first it's really neat, then gets really scrawly towards the end -_-

[Nick Presta]

Has anyone here seen any good movies over Christmas Break?

I saw "Meet the Fockers", "Ocean's 12", and a few others.

Anyone else?

[Ganon]

Exercise books? I know what you mean! Those can rock if its free writing but if they make you do something EXACTLY the way they want it its sooooo boring! Especially if your forced to read it to the class and you don't want to and you insist its your private work that should only be graded and stuff..


About the movies, I have'nt seen to many. I saw lemony snicket and today I saw Christmas with the cranks. Lemony snicket was okay but its shameful compared to the books. Cwtc was really funny. It was one of the better movies I've saw recently...

Aich. I never liked Algebra I. Geometry's a lot better, but...

My grades have been considerably better this year, I think it's just that first year of your transition to highschool that's tough.

[Kikuichimonji]

meh, it's sorta like a rule, those who are good at algebra do worse in geometry

I''m crap at geometry, algebra's is soo logical

[ForteGX]

That's why I like it. Reason is fun! But proofs, not so much... I suppose it still IS a critical part of the course, though...

Algebra isn't that hard to understand!
But I don't know about Forte-san. How can you stand the 'reasons' in the learning? (espeically if you need to learn it in cold weather?)
And then there is those other learnings like Calculous.

[Ganon]

Hmm..You know what I'm really tired of? Those cruddy disney channel movies! Like now you see it and Zenon! Those things are so advertised to seem better then they are! They advertise for months on the channel saying it will be awesome then you watch it and its just plain bad usally. Just to make sure I'm not talking about DISNEY movies. I mean the ones on disney channel.

[Kikuichimonji]

basically I like

Algebra and Trig

Geometry is just boring

Yes Disney Channel is annoying but I didn't mind watching Family channel (I like Radio Free, deal with it)

I haven't really taken Trig or Calc yet, so I don't know what to expect.

Now science...THERE'S a pretty cool subject...

[Kikuichimonji]

science is okay, like when you get to blow up things ^^; (I found a way to explode cheetos without even trying, weird huh?)

There aren't any good movies to see. I have free movie tickets but I'll save then until a decent movie comes out. I suggest renting a movie.

[kate]

chemistry, algebra and trig are awesome!!! of course i love all math but algebra and trig are way ...better...then...ummm *sees people come at her with bats* i'm not a nerd!!! i swear!!!!

[ForteGX]

No way; Chem, Geometry, and...darn it... I only know Algebra and Geometry. x.x And I hate Algebra. Chemistry is fun though, because there's lots of math in it.

Whee! Conversion factors!

</nerd discussion>

[Lightning Star]

i'm in algebra 1...oooh i'm so confuzled....>.< actually the rates and the ratios are okay...basically because i've learned alot of those before...but i hate fractions with numbers AND variables...i get so confuzed. i also hate it when my teacher gives me long math problems like 12.359x49.0937x+9348230.24802 divided by 32323483x 0. i go through the whole problem before see the zero there. ugh.

i saw national treasure, but that wasn't over the christmas break...i love mystery books/movies, and revolutionary war times is my specialty in history, so i really liked that one.

[Someone Else]

I'm in the stupid Algebra class, Algebra 1A. Why is it that everyone seems more smart than me? >> I mean, I have logic, but not the school stuff.

Thinking logically is different than thinking in terms of math or whatnot, or at least that's my theory.

[Lightning Star]

hey...i take logic too. >.< stupid logic pop quiz today...modus poens...modus tollens...hurting my brain. and badly.

(edit: wait...i read that wrong)

Sore wa himitsu desu, WD-san, just go figure, there's something in being less attended to the computer, and more on schoolwork and homework. (Try balancing the power of multi-tasking)

[Illidan]

Hmmm well I just saw Blade: Trinity on the weekend. I loved it. =)

Very well produced movie and well... it's Blade. ^_~

The action was cool and well I enjoyed it overall very much.

[Ganon]

Hmm...Raven just got me thinking. Would it be better if I changed my avie to a picture of ganon? I mean I've used this avie at every forum I've been to except The N~sider!

I saw Spongebob. It was horrible.
I saw Incredibles. It was good.

I saw Spongebob. It was horrible.

I haven't seen the movie- there are a few good songs on it's soundtrack, though.

The Goofy Goober song was funny. XD I haven't seen the SpongeBob movie, I just heard the song.

[Sea of Time]

I wanna get the soundtrack. That song was funny, especially the scenes at the end where they turn it into a rock song.

[Linear]

I haven't seen the movie, I never get the chance to see movies as much anymore. -.- But I always go to the movies with friends, but I didn't want to watch the nickolodeon movie. -_-

[Illidan]

Patrick would have to be my favourite character. -_-

Other than that no I don't really like SpongeBob very much. I prefer anime. =)

[My Best Wishes]

i'll probaly go see it, just to see if they did it well or not, but the incredibles was good.

[Ganon]

Yeah the incredibles was well..incredible? I liked that kid who just always stayed on there driveway. -_-

Let's talk about video games ...

I can't seem to find a good candidate for my next GBA game (besides KH: CoM), since there's not really any good titles this year, and all the slightly bad ones were awarded because of that.

Thanks, but I've played the ROM, and it's not really up to par with my gaming standards. But thanks for recommending it ...

[Illidan]

I'm a very big fan of SF. I have been for a few years now. Nothing can beat the arcades. =D

I'm quite fond of the movies too!

[Ganon]

I'd reccomend Final Fantasy 1&2 Dawn of souls.

Its a great classic with awesome features and pretty good play time!

That is as long as you don't already have it...

[Linear]

I have a poster of that game, I have to game too. It's fun playing those adventure games. XP

[Neon]

MP2 was the only game I bought in 2004. Why do I get the feeling i've missed out on something big... O.o

Ocean's Twelve was... dreadful. Seriously, no plot, bad music, bad camera techniques. Ugh, I spent the whole movie waiting for something big to happen, but nothing ever came :\.

[Ganon]

I probbally won't be seeing that movie. Its just...one of those movies that you see the trailer and forget.

A simple mistake...

Anyways I would wait since I think KH and FF1 and 2 aren't games I am truly into. Sine KH is mostly about the story plot and doesn't focus much on gameply minutes I would wait abit.

[Ganon]

Well I just liked kh though...

Argh! My comps sooo slow! It takes 20 seconds to backspace!

Eer...Getting back on subject, who's looking forward to the new LOZ for teh cube?

[Silo STATIC]

Me, probably. It looks like the same gameplay approach that the Wind Waker took, and the Wind Waker was an innovative game.

KH: CoM's gameplay was simple but astounding. Even if it acts like Golden Sun with the storyline aspect (taking out the long conversations), I loved the ROM, so I may love the game itself the same way.

[My Best Wishes]

whats the story for kh, com does it continue from the one on playstation?

[Neon]

I hope they take an entirely different gameplay approach this time. I don't know about you guys, but i'm sick of these bloody instruments >_<. Using the wind waker in WW became too much of a chore. I hope they make the main item something really interesting. Either that or have a few really important items instead of the one.

And while i'm at it, I want level design on par with that of MP2, and excellent ambient effects :blink:.

[Ganon]

Yeah MP2 has awesome levels. No matter how big they get claustrophobic in a hurry! Which is a good thing for that type of game...*remembers being sorrounded my warrior ing*

[Sol.Warrior]

Mp had way better levels then MP2....and MP2 was way easier. I got 100% on hard mode in two weeks. I still to this day cannot kill Metroid Prime/Essence on MP on Hard Mode!

[Somia]

I'm trying to firgure my way out on Metroid Prime echo right now...

[Ravenblade]

Echos is a pretty good game but i dont like it when you can complete a game in under a day (collectively - im not good enough to do it in one sitting^^)

i traded it in as soon as i finished though cos its just no zelda...

[Sea of Time]

I rented Echoes and it was ok, but I want to finish MP before I buy MP2. I think I'll get Wind Waker first, though.

[Illidan]

Hmm I'm getting quite fond of Tales of Symphonia at the moment. I like it alot. It's undeniabley the best RPG for the Game Cube. I wonder how GS will fair against it?

[Linear]

I like the cutscenes in the game, you can't refuse the cutscense. I like the characters most of all too. ^_^ who wouldn't?

[Neon]

O.o
MP2 has much better levels than MP. But I was actually refering to the detail of rooms. I love it how Agon and Torvus have the ruined structures around, being overrun by the natural environment :P (Sanctuary Fortress, however, was not so nice to look at ^_^).
MP2 isn't everyone's cup of tee, but it certainly is mine.

I'm considering buying a new game for my GC, and i'm leaning toward ToS, is it worth it? (I usually only buy games that average at least 9...)

Since I have an xbox and a GC I didn't even look at MP2 because I had my eyes on Halo 2 ever since the beginning of the year 2004. MP2 is a decent game but compared to Halo 2 it's just another shooter type game. I wanted to also get Half-life 2 but decided I had enough games and bought a cell phone instead.

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Halo is good, but Halo is just another shooter too. Echoes is just as good as Halo 2. I liked them both equally. Metroid Prime was allright, but Echoes just took it to the next step. Though Halo's multiplayer is better.

[Neon]

Halo and Metroid are entirely different games :D. Halo is, like, the elitest of shoots, and Metroid is an adventure game, with shooting.

2D Metroid games are so much better though (Super Metroid! YEAH!). I might buy Metroid Zero Mission, since I never ended up getting that (and I call myself a metroid fan! O.o).

[Elliott]

Utterly, utterly pointless. I'll never use this topic. Totally pointless. Why regulate everything? If someone wants to talk about something, let them make their own topic about it. I hate the whole "this is the topic for this subject, and everything related to it must go here".

It averages around a 9.5 in ratings. I average it to be about that much too. It's an excellent game.

Halo is better in graphics and gameplay, I have to admit. But, MP2 was a very smartly made game. The Dark World was extremely clausterphobic.

So who here plays any sports?

I mainly play soccer but I like football and I'm gonna try some tennis...

[Linear]

I play volleyball, and I love the game. Even though it's basically hitting a volleyball back and forth, it's worth the play if your into it...>.>

[Blade Lord Lyn]

Soccer is really fun, I like it as much as I like playing basketball with my friends. I kind of like volleyball too, in the end, since we end up playing it all the time in gym (you can never escape =P).

[Nick Presta]

I play every sport; Basketball, Football, Soccer, Tennis, Volleyball, Track & Field (Provincial Champion in the 200m sprint)

[Echo_djinn]

Basketball, floor hockey(I can't skate), soccer, baseball, etc. All sports are great. I do find tennis a very tough sport to learn and get the hang of. You must keep moving or your a goner

[Illidan]

I'm a basketball player and I go to the gym sometimes. I'm quite tall and I'm pretty sporty. I've been into basketball for a while now and I really love it.

[Manning sucks]

I play baseball and football. i have good hands but too slow to be a wide out. i also play hockey.

[Ganon]

Now that I think of it..I also want to try some golf! Since I'm not the "stamina man" That looks like a good sport for me...

[Kikuichimonji]

Meh, my wrists hurt alot after volleyball though =P but one game owns...Hockey!

I also play tennis, and some other stuff I can't think of now

but with football (soccer whatever), I think I've developed some sort of allergy to it, I am that bad at it >>

[Someone Else]

Not a sports fan. Hockey is pretty good, I like soccer too even though I'm not that good at it.

Football is stupid to me.

[Illidan]

I hate golf, it's so boring for me. Hockey is ok but I prefer soccer. I play soccer sometimes, not as much as basketball though.

[Neon]

I'm a Tennis person, but I like Volleyball, Golf, Soccer (even though I suck B)), and... yeah.

[Illidan]

I used to play tennis but then I stopped for a while. I still like it though.

Wow the school holidays are so boring for me. I've stopped playing sports for a while and instead spend my time on video games, listening to music, watching anime and making graphics on photoshop. >_>

Is anyone else here on their school holidays or anything?

[Neon]

I've been on holidays for 7 weeks, and I still have 2 more O.o. I'm starting to feel seriously detached from society.
You can only listen to the same songs so many times B). And MP2 gets boring after a while.
The worst thing is, I need to read and write about an English Lit book b4 I go back, and I havn't finished my book yet @_;

[Illidan]

Heh, I have tutoring in the holidays, so I can't completely escape from schooling I guess. -__- I've been on holidays for 4 weeks I think. I have 2 more.

9 weeks? What the geebus? You're so lucky.

[Someone Else]

9 weeks? Wow.

I have a 3-day weekend comin' up because it's Martin Luther King day on Monday.

My birthday is comin' up too. Dunno why I said that.

[Neon]

Usually the christmas holidays are 6 weeks, but I got an extra 3 at the beginning because of exams :D.

[My Best Wishes]

puh holidays are boring now, my sister keeps making me go out and doing stuff every day. and ps2 is so boring now. if it wasn't for cable tv and the comp then i'd just sleep all day.

[Illidan]

I'm spending time catching up on the work I've missed last year during the holidays. It's a real drag but somebody's got to do it. ^_~

[Arkarian]

You get 6 weeks christmas holidays?! How, why, where, when, what! I only get 2. I know how you feel about PS2s and the like getting boring, however my love of books basically means I can read and re-read the same book several times before I get bored this (deoending on book size) can take anything from 3-14 hours of my time in one sitting depending on how interesting the book is.

In Australia the xmas/end of year holidays are 6 weeks long. The rest are 2.

Anyone here read The Chronicals of Thomas Covenant? Awsome fantasy series. The second trillogy is brilliant. I'm reading the first book of the last chronicals now. Hopefully the second book is released soon...

[Ganon]

@.@

And I thought two weeks were bad!

Honestly, I feel sorry for you, ten days?

[My Best Wishes]

You live in Australia too? No wonder why you have a long holiday now like me. But mine is 2 weeks shorter so meh. >_>

[Linear]

You guys are lucky to have 4-6 weeks off, some just get 2 or 3 weeks off. But it's better not having any weeks off at all!

[Illidan]

You only get 2-3 weeks for your end of year holidays? Really?

O.o You're kidding right! TEE has me bordering on breakdown at the end of every semester @_; . This is my final year of high school, so it's only going to get harder (as in, twice the work in 3/4 the time harder :smile:), and this is the year that really matters :P.

[Illidan]

Good luck with that. I'm going to continue on to college when I've graduated from high school. I really want to get into software designing.

[Ganon]

Well to change the subject...

I've been working on this fan-fic lately...But I can't decide a writing style! Any suggestions?

[Mewt]

When you say fanfic, which series/game/story is it based on? The writing style has to fit both that and the genre of your fanfic (e.g. humour, drama, romance, horror). There are many options as to the style - you could consider your narrative as being first-person or third-person (or even both), among other things. My best suggestion, though, is to start writing it and go with what feels natural.

[Illidan]

Well I guess we'll see how it fairs after you show us. Good luck with that.

Double post on accident, happens sometimes.

When story making, reading all sorts would be fun, poetry style, etc. I like to see the idea and the plans of the story and the idea. But if the story doesn't have a good theme to it, I sometimes intend to stop reading it halfway.

[Kikuichimonji]

to answer why australians have longer holiday breaks.

I'm assuming you have short breaks (2-3 weeks) during the June/July/august period...is it to do with that you have winter in the south whilst the north have summer and vice versa. And so like us, they have long summer breaks, just during another month period

whew, I hope that makes sense

[Ganon]

^.^

Thanks everyone! As soon as monday rolls around I'll get back to work!

Oh yeah, I should'nt of called it a fan-fic, cause, well...its not based on anything....^.^;

[Linear]

Once you get back to school, you get attacked with lots of HW

[Illidan]

Eh? Sorry about the double post. My computer was screwing up again.

Yeeh that's right Kiku.

[Sea of Time]

Man, we suck. We had to go to school when it was -56 celsius out there today. We're into exams now too. Yup, my life ROCKS!

[Illidan]

Meh, the weather here is always screwed up. One day it's boiling hot, the next you feel like you're living in the North Pole.

[Echo_djinn]

So people exams are coming what are you all doing to prepare for them. Me, I am doing what I always do when exam come up.....sit and watch t.v.

[Someone Else]

It's been oddly cold for the Bay Area (where I live, duh) lately... I don't like it.

We don't get Mid Terms here, just end of year Exams I suppose.

[Illidan]

School is starting again in less than a week here. I'm starting seniorship in high school this year. Gotta study gotta study gotta study. @__@

[Papercut]

I'm off of X-Mas break and back in class in exactly 4 hours. I really should have slept tonight. Urg. 6 am with too little time to sleep and too much time to stay awake. I am beset with the ironies of my life.

[Neon]

Haha, i'm like that when i stay up till 3am reading <_<. Some sleep is better than none though. Otherwise you go crackers half way through the day.
Which reminds me, another late night tonight, I need to get my book finished so i can start the English Lit one :\. I'm a slow reader btw. The later it gets the slower I read, and i always start reading late at night :P.

I'm in the middle of them and they're ok, they'll all be over in two days. It's a stressful time, but I'm getting an ipod shuffler after wards so, it's all good.

[Ravenblade]

i just cannot motivate myself for exams anymore - ive had so darn many of the things its no longer funny!

one day it'll all be over...then i'll have to go to work ;_;... society sucks..

[Sea of Time]

Oh well, life sucks till retirement. Then everything hurts.

[Ravenblade]

you double posted there by accident i think - i was kinda hoping i would get to retire by the time i was about 55 or something. Thats still leaves me a good 20 years or so.

Oops, sorry about that. I think it was because I double clicked Add Reply.

AAAAAH! I WANNA SPAM UP THIS TOPIC!!!!!!! :P

DIDDY! You should READ THE FIRST POST!

Oh, you were all ready spamming! This is in OFF TOPIC.
If you want to spam, GO TO THE SPAM TOPIC!

[Kikuichimonji]

Diddy, I will have to report that if you do that again ;)

anyway, doesn't work just go on like that? I mean, it never ends, there's always some work to do right?

[Ravenblade]

how does the saying go..."lifes a b**** and then you die"

not my kinda saying but i can see the truth in it

still if you make your own fun then i guess it shouldnt matter...i'll stop with the expressions now...

[Illidan]

I thought it was "When life gets hard, f*** it" or something. I know that sounds wrong but it has some sense in it. XD

yeah, I use that saying all the time.

[Ravenblade]

some people come up wiht some very amusing ways of living their lives it would seem^^

My favourite one was Murphy's law (otherwise known as something else which im not sure i can get away with) "If something CAN go wrong, then it WILL go wrong"

i live by that^^

[Illidan]

I really like this quote:

"War determines not who is right, but who is left."

[Ravenblade]

hey that is a really good one

ooh im gonna spend a while thinking about that one

it works on two separate levels..

[Illidan]

Yeeh I know. I've heard it quite a while ago and it really got me thinking. ^^

[Someone Else]

I'm gonna change the topic because I don't know what's going on...

I got two of my teeth removed yesterday so that my mouth would get out of the overbite thing. Too bad they had to remove my two longest teeth...

Anyone else had to get teeth removed, and if you know, which?

[Illidan]

We were quoting our favourite quotes.

Nope, I've never had a tooth removed by a dentist. I don't think I need it.

I had one tooth removed. It was molar. It hurt and when my gum was numbed, it felt like a gummy bear. I still have it and I show it to everyone that comes into my room, sometimes to get them out if they are girls or to brag.

[Illidan]

How much does it cost do get braces nowadays?

[Ivan is my name]

Why, do you have one? Dont ask me, ask your dentist.

[Illidan]

I wasn't asking you in particular. =P

I was just wondering.

[Someone Else]

I'm not sure actually... I was never told.

I think the two teeth they removed were molars, I don't remember entirely. The good thing about the teeth they chose to take out were the ones that when I opened my mouth to talk, you can't even tell I got teeth removed since the side of my mouth is blocking the gaps from view. =D

(I know I wrote that sentence badly, too lazy to edit it)

I had braces in 7th grade so ummm....5 years ago they were about $5000 heh not too cheap X_X and they didn't even fix everything lol and I had 2 teeth pulled at the same time 'cause they were baby teeth that wouldn't come out o.O;

[Illidan]

Wow alot. My mother got it done for free I remember. 5 grand for a piece of metal stuck your teeth? XD

[Ravenblade]

whaaat?

my sister got braces and im sure they werent that much! I'm also pretty sure that if they were that much, she wouldnt have gotten them o.o

Different countries mind you but if you guys are paying that much, then perhaps you should get them put in over here.

[Elliott]

My brother's braces cost $4000 AUD. It's over a 3 year period I think though, and you get free visits to the orthodontist whenever you want to get them fixed up and stuff.

[Sea of Time]

Yeah, I've heard that saying. Sucks that it's true.

[Linear]

o.o braces can be painful once you get them, and in a few months you get used to it. And then when you take it off it "sorta" hurts. A friend of mine had their braces removed and she's happy that it's removed. :)

[Lightning Star]

I have braces...they're a pain. >.< especially because i tend to break brackets off. and it hurts like a son of a gun when they scrape the extra glue that the bracket leaves behind. my sister had her braces done by the same orthodontist, her teeth are beautiful. oh yeah, and i also chipped the bottom of one of my top teeth from biting down to hard and hitting my tooth on one of the bottom teeth's bracket. >.< its not too noticable, but its annoying.

[TobiasMar]

Braces? I don't have them...fortunately I guess...but I think I ALMOST got them once... O_O

[My Best Wishes]

heck, my parents reckon i'll need them close to a year at the most. that sucks, i don't want them.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Mine braces went out yesterday! :huh:

[My Best Wishes]

that must be a relief to you. on the subject of teeth, who her has fillings? i got 3 and i think they all fell out. but they hurt so much becuase the hole was shallow so the nerve was still close to the outside of the tooth.

[I'm Always BROKE]

O have got 1 I think. And about the braces, they were cool. I think I liked them because they we cool! But now I can make that sound again when I make my finger wet and take it on my teeth! :P Funny sound I can tell ya!

[My Best Wishes]

hey diddy, could you eat apple skin when you had them? becuase when my sister had braces she wasn't allowed to eat the skin becuase it got stuck or something.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Yeah I could, just eat it with the apple it self... Or just buy some lil toothbruses where you can reove all nasty stuff what if stuck between the braces.No braces anymore for me! -[]--[]--[]--[]--[]--[]--[]-

[Neon]

Some of the teeth down the left side of my mouth don't touch when I bite, and if it isn't fixed my right teeth will wear out earlier in life than they would otherwise.

Yay, I get braces when everyone else has already had theirs out, lol >_<.

[I'm Always BROKE]

I had my braces for four years... 0_0

[Illidan]

I thought it's supposed to be around 2 years for braces...

[Ivan is my name]

My sister had a removeable brace. She got rid of it ages ago now.

[Illidan]

I may get braces in the future. Not sure if my teeth will be corrupted by then, but I'm sure my teeth won't remain in good shape forever. XD

[Ravenblade]

has anyone ever lost any teeth?...like as a result of running into a wall or something?

if so - what kinda stuff do they do? are you toothless forever or do they put them back in or something?

[Mewt]

I've never had braces nor fillings or anything drastic - call me lucky to have good teeth or I've had some very bad dentists. I really wish I had braces because I have some annoying fangs that have slightly pushed some of my other teeth back ...

Oh, and I haven't accidentally lost teeth either, so I'm not sure Raven. o.o;;;

[Illidan]

No I've always lost my teeth the natural way.
