Longer huh? ok.. Here it goes.. Today.. i woke up.. messed on the computer a bit.. had Nutri-Grain for breakfast.. Then we went out to this lady called Taresas (or however you spell it) house.. Left a bit after with my Grandad to the cinemas and watched I,Robot (Awesome Movie in my opinion) Then we went to get lunch at Pizza Hut. Then we returned to the ladys house.. ( I've officially seen the ugliest and scariest looking dogs in the world now) And she turned out to be quite funny.. Especially when you try and get photos of her lol.. Anyway.. the we returned to the house on the farm.. and thats my day basically.. Note to self: Eating that much candy would make me A.) Fat and B.) Very sick.. and i know about the floods.. and the 100 earthquakes.. lol.. Thanks to all wishing me well  Cartoonic |

He's probably tried most of that anyway.
We DO have Crunch bars in the States, y'know.

<~ *looks confused as to why people are so defensive about their chocolate* Umm, sorry to offend so many people with my sugar tastes. I didn't think this would have made the thread explode like it did.  Its good to hear you are "getting off the farm" as addicted pointed out 'toon. *thinks of pizza hut and chuckles* ... NZ is like Wisconsin! They even have KFC, Burger King, Subway, McDonalds, Starbucks, etc... I even saw a Dennys in Auckland So are you near the 100 earthquakes and flooding? My friends ended up being about an hour away from it and said its been raining like crazy (though warm and sunny yesterday). Ok, time for some questions! Have you seen a kiwi bird yet? Have you seen a Maori? Have you been to any LOTR sites? Which is more: Sheep, Deer, or Cows in NZ? (that you have seen) If there was one thing you could do while you are there what would it be? Have you been to a "Stars and Stripes Restaurant" yet? What do you think of the food? (hot, bland, spicy, needs salt, etc) What is your favorite expiance there so far? (besides Irobot hehehe) And the biggest quetion I'd like to know: What do your grandparents do on "the farm"? Cheers, Lumix MmmMmm ... Nutri-Grain |

*chuckles* Silentus, if you ever get a chance to see a lot of New Zealands towns and such you will know what I mean. A good friend of mine from Wisconsin felt like he was at home when he went to NZ. ;D I guess you'll have to see it to believe it  Though I must say NZ has probably one of the most varied landscapes I have ever seen... it was just an observation is all. -Lumix |

Hehe, thats actually what confused me. WI has more varience than alot realize... some of steep hilly stuff along the Mississippi river, rolling hills in south central, flatlands in central (not paper flat like Most of South Dakota thankfully), swampy in alot of the north, 2 lakes the size of some small inland seas, smaller lakes all over the place, decidious forests, confir forests and even islands of the north tip. No Mountains though - nothing like them  Only thing that is not at all varied is that we have uniformily very few cities of any notable size (Madison being one of them at a measly 200,000 pre-suburbs). Because of that I was trying to figure out in what way you meant. I would love to visit NZ - the images in LotR are fantastic! I was instantly envious of Toon when the shout came out that he was going (think I even sent a tell stating such ) - maybe next time I can get him to take a bunch of us 'IoFites' along with! Hmm, IoFites - Island of Fredianites... Islanders of Fredian... Makzimians? What the heck are we anyway? |

Dang it, I gotta stop thread hijacking - I should be trying to set a precedent here on the right way to keep on topic...

Just to make it clear to all the kiwis out there anything Cartoonic brings home will be eaten/drunk within moments of arriving since he lives in a household of southerners hanging out for the decent stuff.
The farm he is on has goats and horses, no sheep to be seen. ;D

So when i get back i'm not completly lost in RP or something lol Okay, well, Makz is gone, so Getty is in charge. He went mad with power though. He's added HCR and put in a script that detects common OOC phrases. If they're not in the same line as "OOC" you are considerd a metagamer and banned permanently. Styne was razed to the ground since people always congregate there, and people still congregated there, so the areas were just deleted. It's hard to walk around them, but it can be managed usually by portals (and since Kehaar entries are now totally persistent). Crafting has been put to CNR. Getty (remember, mad with power) likes to go around and swipe random items from PC's. Oh, he also made it so that you can complete a quest just by grabbing the item... in fact, you can get the quest done before you've even found it, and complete it all at once to save time! Yeah, we're having a lot of fun, despite the fact that the server only allows levels 1-15 now... Obviously I'm joking.  |
