You missed out on our new facebook discussion, didn't you?

Activities
i like to go shopping a lot (for pc parts and videogames obviously). I also love biking but right now i have to wait for my dad to bring a bike from israel, cause the prices there are twice lower for twice better quality. Apart from that I don't do much sport, unless you want to call hundredpushups.com a sport.

and speaking of sport, today i had to make a very significant decision. I have 300 euros in cash, which means that if I buy the 800 euro computer, considering I can borrow money from my parents, I won't be able to buy a bike. So it's either my old PC and a bike (sport!), or a monster gaming PC (gaming !!!) but no bike. so it's either being healthy and doing sport, or sitting all day in front of an uber computer. which one do you think I picked? =P

and btw, in case i sell my current PC and my new PC doesn't work, I can always use the PC that used to belong to my brother for flash and the internet. It's really old and im probably going to try to sell it along with the PC i have atm, but it'll be fine in case they repair my potentially new PC. That being said, if any of you want to buy a cheap PC I can sell you mine. It's honestly a bit old, i bought it 1 year and a half ago, but it was one of the best pc's i could buy, so it's still pretty good. intel duo core 2gb ram 250gb space. the only problem is the graphic card (7500 LE ._.) but you can easily replace that

I juggle. Mainly do 5 ball stuff, but I'm getting better at 6 and 7. I'm not a clown >:(

Intel core duo? you call that OLD? Jesus, I'd kill to have one like that.

Mine's AMD Athlon 1.66 GHZ, 512 RAM. 40 GB HDD. I stole a 90 GB HDD from my brother, so i have 130 GB. But still, my graphic card is integrated. Goes as fast as 64 MB as far as I know and doesn't support pixel shader.

I might've gotten the translation wrong, my computer is french.

"Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 1.86 GHz"

It's not so good considering im getting a 3.00 Ghz dual core processor. I don't remember the name tho, as I said I don't have the paper where the guy at the computer store printed all the specs. If somehow I get a game sponsored for 1k euros this week, im sooo getting an intel quad-core :p

I failed my learners permit test today. In South Dakota you can get a learners permit when your 14. Meaning I'll be driving sooner than some of you here. Once I pass the test anyway.

Nah, it'd make you sound more like an alcoholic.

But a manly alcoholic.

Real men only drink their own sweat!

I like my keyboard a lot because it's very thin and doesn't make noise when you click stuff, but damn, look at this keyboard at the bottom of the page: http://www.avenir-computer.com/. first i thought yea whatever, it's just a keyboard nothing special about it, and it looks ugly. but you have 12 buttons on both sides of the keyboard that you can manually program which is extremely useful for games. I always have to do crazy finger acrobatics when I play WoW because I gotta have like 30 or 40 spells with hotkeys, cause clicking is for noobs. i have all sort of crazy combinations like ctrl-Y, shift-H etc. for all you gamers out there, i really recommend you get something like that (even tho i never tried it :p)

btw look at those crazy-ass graphic cards too. im so tempted to spend all my reserve money on a beast PC

Cheese puffs

Onion rings

Don't forget the scones.

I drink:
Energy Drinks,
Coke,
Sprite,
Coffee,
Tea sometimes.

Tea

Lets give you a brief...thingy. My mothers side of the family are pretty much all quite bad lightweights when it comes to alcohol, some of them end up unable to drink more after only about one can. However my fathers side are the opposite, and most of them can drink a lot more than my mothers side.

Then at my parents wedding one of my Dad's mates did a speech and all through it he talked about beer but he replaced the word beer with tea to take the piss out of some of my mothers family, for example he would say, "Sometimes Paul would drink barrels of tea, one after another, and keep doing so for the rest of the night" apparently all of my Dad's mates and siblings were laughing their arse off and my Mums family were just sitting there looking confused.

I was reminded of it the other day when I saw a bottle of beer and that beer was called 'tea'.

Desparados doesn't have tequila in. Its just tequila flavoured. Tequila is definately the nicest spirit, but it still tastes disgusting, and should not be drunk unless you purely want to get drunk fast. So that being said, why would you want to drink a beer that tastes like such a horrible drink? Its about 6%, so i suppose its a fairly strong beer, but no where near strong enough to compensate for the taste.

Its all about Real Ale for me. I normally just drink lager, since its cheap and usually a high % ABV, but you can't beat Real Ale.
