Lol, well I did also have a boost in PPD when the Fifa World Cup was going on in July. I posted several times per day in that WC thread. Luckily for you the American football season lasts longer than a month, doesn't it?

Yeah about 17 weeks plus playoffs with are about 4 more weeks. I don't really follow any other sports or play any video games so I'll probablly fall off quite a bit espcially in the C&C Forum.

Yes, we have the same tradition in my household. We always open gifts around six in the evening on Christmas Eve. We don't like waiting much, heh.

Listening to:
Creedence Clearwater Revival - I Put A Spell On You

Oh man, can somebody just kill the fuckers in the apartment above me? Yesterday (or more like, today) they started turning their fucking music up at around 0:20. By 4 am I got really pissed (by that time it sounded as if they where tearing down the whole building) and went up. At first some drunken guy came to the door, I asked if he could turn the music down and he responded with something like: "It's holiday tomorrow, nobody has to work, so what do you want?" (wtf? How does he think the public transportation system works on holidays? And what about the hospitals? Damn...) luckily some not drunken guy came to the door next. Me and my gf had a small conversation with him, saying that the music has been pretty loud for a couple of months now and if they can't just turn the music off now?
Well, the music has been quieter after that, but they didn't turn it off until 5 am.

And now I'm back (at around 20:00) and guess what? Yep, they're listening to loud music again.
Funny thing is: A few days ago I placed a box of our stereo right underneath the ceiling and turned it up. Okay, it has been very loud, but after about 5 minutes they knocked on the floor, trying to tell me that way to turn the music down...

Hopefully we can move out here in a few months, or else I go mad in here...

If they turn the music up again like this morning, I have to call the police. It's just not bearable any longer. :/

Yes, motion sick. It isn't that bad with newer FPS games like Resistance, but I cannot play Doom or older games because I get instasick (headache and dizziness).

Portal is a new game, though.

But not that new (the graphics engine is the half life engine, right?). I guess I could play it for an hour before I feel dizzy. It's just not worth it.

Of course. It's even better when I'm resting with you know who. :3

Yes. So LET'S START IT!

Alright then, where is she?

I don't know, I thought she was with you?

yyyy-mm-dd would be the best format, at least for sorting purposes.
Anyway, dd-mm-yyyy is much more logical. ~30 days is one month, 12 months is one year. So the date format is orderd from "low" to "high", so to speak. ;)

It's useful for example, when you are making appointment or something months away; you want to know which month it's going to be in first before the date. Going from broad to narrow, but not so broad that it's useless.

Hm. I never had that much trouble to get a grasp of how far an appointment is away with the dd-mm format. ;)

Another example is that if you were to ask when my birthday is saying July before the date helps your mind to get a general idea first before stating the precise date, 28th.

Again, if it is for example 12.03. (dd.mm.) and I say: My birthday is on 13.08. (again dd.mm.) nobody should have any problems to get that it's over 5 months away. ;)

Not much to present the LUL except maybe i entered the TOP 50 B/P's for the billionth time lol. but anyways

Hope everyone has a good X-Mas and Happy Holidays.

But now they seem to be together again... sort of.

She keeps saying she doesn't believe in monogamy. Honestly, I have no idea why my friend keeps dating with her. Maybe they're only fuckbuddies or something...

Yeah I know some people like that around here, lol. Personally I wouldn't have anything to do with a girl like that...but I guess to each his own, lol..

Indeed, that's exactly how I look at it. Don't start worrying if there's nothing going on yet, but do keep it in the back of your head somewhere that things might go wrong someday.

Best way to approach it.

Sounds like you did all you could man. If you went up and politely asked him to turn down the music (at an unreasonable hour at that) and he refused, that's all you can do. If he's not going to be reasonable then at that point I'd say calling the police would be the best option.

I mean yeah, he might think you're a douchebag for it, but it's like...you already asked him.

I had some neighbors call the police on me for listen to music at NOON and they didn't even ask me, they just called the police...so I think you were more than reasonable with the guy. Just my 2 cents..

I believe that they are worse than Ben & Jerry's, as they have created all of these ranges of Tea within about 3 years, compared to 20 years for Ben & Jerry.

So they are less experienced then, but who knows how many teas they will still create in the next 17 years.

Exactly - who knows, even if you take out the regular brands, such as Assam, Darjeeling and Earl Grey, just how many these wonderful minds will come up with.

I did that to some horrible neighbours of mine, back in the day. X Files at volume 50, so they could hear it properly when the TV was less than 10 feet from them in bed together. I treated them to the finest selection of Hard Rock that Alice Cooper's Brutal Planet had to offer me.

My advice is Slayer's Raining Blood - The Hard Rain section should penetrate their floor quite nicely, at a relatively low volume.

It's down to you logging stats when the site is updating. It's about 5am, server time, so just log it 10 minutes either way and your stats will be fine ;)

Next milestone passed Ranked 800 in Exp. Not really a big deal though >_<

At 22:55 I called the police yesterday. At around 23:45 they arrived (well, it was just loud music and on christmas eve the police propably has to deal with more important stuff). After the police left it was nice and quiet up there.
I could still here some music, but it was on a very low volume.
