Well, had a nice, long talk with my friend from Utah last night. She let me blow off some steam about my crappy month/s, she did the same too. We're both looking forward to February and now she says she wants to fly out here in 2013!

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Thanks, Royal. I'm glad, too. We talk at least once a week. In November, during the worst, she let me ramble on for a bit when I needed it. I did the same for her when her beloved grandmother died.

NY Giants are causing me to drink heavily this season in their last minute drives.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
I hope that was a joke. But since you are British I will give you a quick deiscription of what a (american) football drive is. It's basically a series of plays that move to the end zone for a touchdown so the Giants can comeback for a win with seconds left on the clock.IanKennedy wrote:You're not suppose to drink and driveMcAvoy wrote:NY Giants are causing me to drink heavily this season in their last minute drives.
So the only thing I was drinking and driving last night was my couch.

What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Sounds nice, Teaos.
So anyone got any resolutions for 2012, besides surviving the zombies?

Only real resolution I have is making sure February goes well when I fly out to Utah for the convention.
