Lack of Raves
 

This is something we did at another forum that I went to. Basically, there aren't enough posts celebrating the average yet awesome things that may happen to you on a day to day basis. Come here to post a rave.

Raves:

My girlfriend just baked chocolate and caramel brownies.

Won a game at Gold Rush on TF2 for my team earlier with the scout by dodging an insane amount of grenades and rockets to land on the train and push it into the last control point.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I've been nominated by my university for a national scholarship!

I'm going on a road trip to Oregon with my girlfriend in August!

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I still dont have good internet connection.(no xbox live) My existence is meaningless.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I only have $30 to go until my Target credit card is payed off...

>_>

Re: Lack of Raves
 

You need to buy something to celebrate.
Most likely from Target.
And expensive.

And Vampyr girlfriend bakes. What's her specality?

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I'm really in love! More than I've been in the last 3 years.
We have a new 'date' coming up. More like an appointment, but it will be fun. :)

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Are you dating a nurse? ;)

And she bakes lots of things.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Heh, that would be nice. Hurting yourself so you can make an appointment with the nurse.

No, we're both Jehovah's Witnesses and as you know, we visit people to shortly talk about the bible. We usually work in pairs of 2. Working together is a really nice way to get to know eachother, and it doesn't always have to mean something.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I guess some potential Raves are:
Got paid Today, thus allowing me to get an overdue haircut. After moving in with Grandma (Financial reasons) I finally got a Wifi card today for PC since Cable modem is in basement and only wireless is used. Hence my disappearance to GT because of the lack of decent internet.

Visited Iowa State last week and hope to be able to get in by next fall. Going to take some convincing =/ But I'm determined. Saw dad for first time in months and had a fun time as usual.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Awesome. :D I'm in college now, and I think it's overrated and an outdated system, and I sort of hate it, but having a degree is still a great thing.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Yeah, I haven't gotten into college yet (5 years out of high school now =/ ) due to many things that just went wrong right after HS so it threw me off track for years until now.

I too think College is a little overrated and way too expensive (thank god it'll be in state tuition, 6-7 grand a year vs 16-17 grand a year out of state is absurd). Though the only way I'll stand a chance to get a job in the Meteorology field/area is to go to college.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Yay, got the 'date', next friday.

I'm trying to keep my hopes low, especially after talking to some friends who know her better than I do. We'll just see.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

After weighing in at 207 pounds in late March, today I weighed in at 175! 3.5 months of exercise and eating better have really payed off...

Also, release dates for the new Spinto Band album have been officially announced. September 15th in the UK/Europe and October 7th for the US.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Thats my birthday!

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Nice! Congrats dude! :D

I really need to get back on the weight loss train. Running three times a week and dieting isn't working for me. :(

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I recently quit the soda-pop!
I used to drink like a can or two a day at work, a bottle of root beer at lunch, and a 1 liter bottle of coke over the period of the afternoon.
Almost every weekday.
And god knows how much I drank over the weekends...
IT WAS CRAZY!!!
And now it has come to an end... As of 2 1/2 weeks ago...

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Yeah, quitting soda has become part of my diet too. At first it was pretty hard, but now I don't really miss it and just drink a ton of water. The only beverages that I drink anymore that have calories are lightly sweetened iced teas (Honest Tea, Inko's Tea), smoothies, soy milk, lightly sweetened coffee, and booze.

The one part I miss is reviewing sodas as a hobby. When you don't drink 'em, you can't review 'em.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I've started drinking soy milk. It's pretty good, but I think it's going to be more of an acquired taste. I got chocolate too, and I think vanilla might have been a better choice.

I don't drink much pop, just an occasional Diet Dr. Pepper (regular pop is so insanely bad for you.) But I do drink a ton of coffee, which I've been trying to cut back on and drink more water. I'm down to about 1.5 cups a day.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Why is the album being released in UK and Europe before your native land?

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Eh, just one of the consequences of having two different record labels. Ideally they'd just be a day apart like a lot of bands do, but it worked out differently this time...It'll still be better than the situation with our last album where the CD came out in the UK a full 11 months after the US release. Plus, then we can tour around the release in both places and not have to be in two places at once...

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Fair enough. If it's available on Amazon again I'll be sure to order it. :)

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Isn't the interest on those suppose to be ridiculous?

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Jesus, you haven't posted in forever.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Yeah and Germany lost from Spain, didn't you hear??

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Ah yes, I forgot to mention the fact I'm down over 40lbs from my all time high. Still at least another 20 lbs with a longer term goal of an additional 20 after I hit my main goal.

Jeez GameKing, welcome back? :p

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Welcome back, Gameking. Maybe.

Also I got to see The Dark Knight early as most everyone who has my AIM/MSN/Facebook knows.

I get to see Spinto Band tonight and see Teuthida.

And I got a three day mid-week weekend from work.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Going to San Diego next week for Comic Con.

Going to see The Spinto Band tonight and kidnap BreakABone.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Cool, a mini GameTavern meet? Post pics later!

Also: in 13 hours I'll meet that girl again. I suddenly realized what I love most about her: her eyes. Those amazing, beatiful, shiny eyes! If they're half as sparkling as last weekend, my day will be great.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Don't tell her that, it's very cliche!

Say you like her cheek bones or something different. :P

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I like your Triceps and forehead. That'll creep her out good.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Tell her you love the way her temple features prominent, pulsating veins.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

3 hours and 45 minutes till i see the Dark Knight!

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Angrist, tell her she'd look great as a coat!

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Tell her if she was a booger you would pick her first!

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Haha, great. :D

And no, I wasn't gonna tell her about her eyes. We're just going to have a good time.

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Just got back from The Spinto Band show. Twas good fun. Got to meet Germy and hung out with Penguin for the first time in six years.

Oh there are pictures...

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Just making my random every-so-often post. Kinda weird...

Re: Lack of Raves
 

Rawr

Re: Lack of Raves
 

So yeah that was nice. I talked to a friend about it afterwards, he thinks she's totally hinting and stuff. But I'm still a bit cautious... I'm not really convinced that she likes me enough and I don't want to rush anything.

Then again, she might start losing the feeling because I'm not making enough moves.

Difficult. :)

Re: Lack of Raves
 

I bought Super Mario Bros. 3 yesterday for the Wii Virtual console, and have been having an awesome time with it. :D

I'm going to Gamestop today to buy a Wii Classic controller.
