TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm glad I don't own a television. The Obama-Romney debates weren't bad, but I've no desire to see Trump's squinty orange face more than I have to. I really, really hope that this latest scandal is the October surprise Hillary needs to win the presidency....but I'm not optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistrunner Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I think the lyrics to "Dancing Through Life" describe my approach to this debate.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I've done my time completed high school, a bachelor's degree, and a master's degree, so I don't have school anymore. (Plus, one of the perks of being independent is the power to choose when to tune into the news and when to barricade myself in my apartment with a pair of headphones and a pug.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try not to die, I like having internet stranger friends who are not corpses (even though that'd be rusting awesome). Also, next week, I'm only gonna be at school for two days because my sister and my parents and I are going to Universal Orlando Harry Potter magic wizarding world thing place theme park land. I'll take pictures and stuff, so that should be fun. Edited October 10, 2016 by bleeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before his first televised interview with a reporter, his campaign manager tells him that if he is asked a question he doesn't know the answer to, he should answer the question he wishes he'd been asked instead. So…. Interviewer: Mr. Spencer, if elected, how would you balance the city of Santa Barbara's budget? Shawn: (after a long pause) You know, people think I like red jellybeans the best, but I'm actually very fond of the blue ones. It's not half as funny when Trump does it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You simply add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the caramel and complete the recipe as usual. 37 minutes ago, bleeder said: Season 8 was a downer overall. "Listen" was excellent, though.

Also, next week, I'm only gonna be at school for two days because my sister and my parents and I are going to Universal Orlando Harry Potter magic wizarding world thing place theme park land. I'll take pictures and stuff, so that should be fun. The Wizarding World of Harry Potters sections are amazing. James and I were just there a couple weeks ago. Some advices: 1. Park-hopper tickets are a must. You need them to be able to ride the Hogwarts Express. And the trip is a different experience in each direction. 2. Get wands. Or if they're too expensive, get at least one wand. There are spots where you can cast "spells" all over the place. Look for the hidden infrared cameras, make sure your wand is in clear view of it, and keep the movements small. Too big and the camera can't catch it. 3. Butterbeer is amazing. Pumpkin juice is delicious. You needs must try both. 4. Escape From Gringotts (Universal) and Forbidden Journey (Islands of Adventure): Go through the proper line ONCE to get all of the theming and backstory. After that, you can start hitting the single rider lines and zip through again and again in a short period of time. James and I managed to go through Forbidden Journey three times in fifteen minutes that way. 5. The lockers are awesome, and free for set amounts of time. The time will vary depending on how busy the ride is. Just be sure and remember locker numbers; the system won't do that for you. In other news, I've been toying with the idea of trying to put a steampunk band together for a while. Now I have a name for this theoretical band: Clockwork Unicorn Invasion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
