Roffel House!

You can turn all those settings off, but it does require jumping through more hoops than a lion at a circus. Vista isn't bad once you spend time customizing it.

In the words of Richard Pryor,

I'm not dead yet, muthaf**ka!

Not sure if I can get mom to call about getting internet set up at home sometime soon or not. We got a thing from HughesNet advertising broadband service with a type of satellite dish, but they said we need a credit card. Mom's debit card can be used as one (says Visa on the front), but we haven't called back to try again, so here's to hoping.
Since my liver is larger than my heart, does that mean I'm designed to drink more and care less?

Be careful with HughesNet. If you live in a thick forested area, sometimes the satellite can refuse to pick up signal... If you get something else like satellite TV, though, it should be no problem at all. Just saying.

Here's to seeing you back on here soon.

I’m usually quite a passive person (or at least try to be,) but even I’m beginning to see that two of my college teacher’s are complete and utter imbeciles who lack even the base concept of competence.

My Media Studies teacher has continuously set very strict deadlines for our coursework and anyone who doesn’t hand in everything on the exact day by the exact lesion it is required will not have their work added to their overall mark. Which is fine, I’m good with deadlines despite the massive levels of work Media (and film) churns out for us to do,
but not when she is consciously setting us pointless homework, interrupting us to give speeches and then devoting an entire lesson to exams which are three/four months away, for which I’ve already been revising for at HER URGENCY!

The Film Teacher is no better, he’s an interesting and knowledgeable guy but the speech he gave us at the beginning of the year… well it would have been much calmer to simply have him bellow ‘DEATH!!’ for two hours or so, then he hands back coursework with major changes to make only a couple of weeks before their deadline, suddenly remembers things which we are meant to add to work and is half death.

As such I’ve spent the last couple of weeks trying to simply deal with every last damn thing they’ve thrown at me, this is the first time I've been able to get the time to post on the forums and have gotten barely six hours sleep over the entire week.
And this is ignoring the rest of my subjects.

I'm laughing a bit, but only at you're frustration; not at you for having trouble on the Sacred Grounds. It's been dubbed 'Hell' (Just move to right side of when you first enter the place) or the 'Bloody Holy Land' for a reason, and even I had a lot of trouble going through that place when I first came across it. So there's no shame in dying a lot in that place; it's a secret level for a reason, and the only way to get to it is by putting yourself to the challenge and even handy caping yourself a bit (I.E avoiding certain items). Hence, it's sort of there to test your hard core skills as a challenger.

And after your done all of that, if you feel like, you can find the Nikumaru just to put your speed run skills to the test. My best run through that place is about 4:08.

I'm also gonna take this as the reason why i haven't gotten a response to the PM I sent you.

Have fun fighting Ballos.

Please tell us what stupidity will come about in that movie. I'm just eager to see how this will epicly FAIL!.

Unless I'm proved wrong.
