So...

I like the way some beers taste, pretty darn good. Really hard liquor just kind of burns and jagger tastes like good & plenty, but yeah wine sucks I hate it.

I've only had a few tastes of beer. It tasted like that Jones Malt Beer Soda you can find. Not very enjoyable, really.

Some wines are really good, (I prefer the less heavy, sweetened red wines, which are closest to grape juice.) and some wines (Mostly white wines.) will remind you heavily of licking the contents of a chemical laboratory. Either way, they'll do some pretty awful things to your lower intestines even a moment after you've drank it.

all the wine I ever had tasted like some sort of grape juice and vinegar cocktail or something else similarly awful, not a wine person.

I had surgery on my right shoulder in December and now my left shoulder is starting to go. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. I finally gave in and took a percocet which did nothing. The funny thing is I think my step mom has been taking some for her migraines and/or fibromyalgia. I had nearly 50 and now I'm down to 15 at the most.

This old hag is driving me up the wall. I hope I can get this apartment.

Man, fuck "1-800-CONTACTS". Their shit is expensive. Whyyy is it so hard to get affordable contact lenses?

Well, think about it. They have to be ground to exactly the right shape, they have to just the right size to fit in your eye, they have to be flexible, they have to be the right material, etc. Bottom line: To work, contacts have to be perfect. Perfection costs a lot.

Unless said perfection is Jeus, in which case, it's free! *shot*

Learn to have better eyesight, noob!

Even if I had perfect eyesight (which I don't), I'd still be buying contacts to change the colour of my eyes.

Whar color are they naturally?

Blue-grey. And the coloured contacts I want to get are chestnut brown.

It's something that you develop a taste for as time goes along. You find a beer you like, start drinking it, try new beers and find new ones you like.

Yeah, all it requires it to subjective yourself to a lifestyle free of sex, gambling, alcoholic beverages, and common sense. But hey, you trade all of that for the promise that you SHOULD go to heaven. Unless, of course, you've pissed the magical sky daddy off by not killing enough homosexuals.

Sex, gambling, and alcohol are all very overrated.

Russell wrote:Well, why aquire a taste for it? Beer makes you fat anyways, so what's the point of developing a liking for it?

Soda makes you fat, so why develop a taste for that? Beer has just about the same amount of calories as soda, and with soda you don't get the intoxicating side effects.

Sex, drugs, and rock n roll, however, are not.

Shazza, is there anything fun that you don't think sucks?

Not that I can think of… xD

There's bound to be SOME kind of alchohol you'll like Russ.

I used to destest it and though it was rather stupid (although I never almost vomited). Then I discovered this really amazing white whine that my grandparents bought, and I rather liked it. Since then, I've found that I like white whine, although I don't have it a lot.

And then my friends and I got together one night for a friendly game of poker (no betting). While there, we all had a good bunch of Amaretto Sours (Amaretto with Sprite/7up), and while I always make it more soda than booze, I really like it.

As I said, Russ, everyone has an individual taste, and it's up to you to find which type of alchohol tickles your taste buds. Personally, I can't STAND beer.

There was this 'Coconut Malibu' Rum stuff I had. It was pretty good. I also like Bailey's Irish Creme. We use it at my work for some brownies.

If those little chocolate rum balls really have alcohol in them, I could snack on this for many half-hours at a time.

Okay, this is just golden. My new internet security software causes the page to stop loading whenever it gets to one of Sharon's posts. Sharon, you're a potential threat to my computer. :laughing:

You bet I am! Muahaha!

Ugh, appearently it also causes the main forum index to stop loading when it gets to your name. Time to tweak some settings...

Wow, that is weird. Your computer dislikes me.

I went to look at an apartment today. At first I wasn't so sure on the one bedroom because it was smaller than I thought it would be. It's a one bedroom town home so it's setup different than most apartments since the bedroom is upstairs. For one person and his dog it's not a bad size. The great news I got was that I get a DISCOUNT because I'm a firefighter! As long as I'm a volunteer at the dept I'll get 5% off my rent every month. I could get a two bedroom for nearly the same price as a one bedroom.

*sigh* Damnit. My friend, the one who was depressed? Yeah, she's going to try an have a relationship with a guy now, because she "feels a special connection with him". Yeah, good luck with that. I give it three weeks, mayeb four. Any relationship build on somethign like that alone, especially is she's so sure after only like two days.
Nevermind that he's been in and out of like, 10 relationships this year, all of them with "drama".

Another mini-rant: popular music these days. Thsi kid had his iPod on in the Chem Lab, and not only did every song have like the same five chords, but I was so appalinglingly fascinated by what the "good" songs seeed to be, I transcribed some lyrics here, all of them from different songs.

"she will not wait for me anymore"
"it'll be alright, let me hold you"
"Theres a piece of you still with me, everywhere I go, everything I see"
"look at your eyes, when I say this is goodbye"
"memories of you. things we used to do"

All different songs, mind you. They're all about...about...DRAMA. People breaking up, or the aftermaths of breakups, or other....crap like that. Gah, I SWEAR, this is nuts!

....oyyyyyyy.

Well, Amaster, I can only hope the best for your friend.

And about music, I kinda agree with you. I'm already getting a bit sick and tired of all the love songs out there, and these days, most music is obsessing over either "love" or breaking up from love. Not to mention the rampant "Emo" music (no offense to those who like it! I happen to like a few linkin park songs myself).

It's getting to the point where the only way to get good music these days is from game soundtracks and Newgrounds.

Oh, and It's QUITE LIKELY that on monday I will no longer have a job. The game I'm testing is ramping down, and the client can no longer pay all the testers. Plus, not many projects are open anymore. Ergo, there is no place for me, and three other guys. We're gonna be put on call, but considering there are guys with more experience than us who are already on the list........:glare: I would probably have been the one guy they kept, but I had to take two sick days in as many weeks, and that bumped down my hours, so another guy got the spot.

....ahhh, whatever. At least I won't be testing that boring piece of crap anymore. 6 MONTHS ON A GAME LIKE THAT?!? ugh...Glad it's over, whatever happens...

I thought all songs were about sex, dating, and drugs, or at least 9/10.

Either way, the fact that the lyrics of different songs can sound like they come from the same song is pretty pathetic

I agree with you on music Amaster. It's all about relationships.

And Sharon, now I can see posts by you, but the forum index past the general forums don't load. Very strange.

Edit: It appears it doesn't effect Firefox at all, only Internet Explorer. Very strange indeed. I guess I'm stuck with Firefox now.

Aegix, can you tell us what you were testing? I'm curious.

lol, boo hoo.

What security software is this? You need to get rid of it.
