Twokinds ARCHIVE Forums

Hello everybody.

On this late Sunday evening (day for most of you guys, but meh) I checked the 2k forums as usual. Again the fact that it's very quiet on weekends struck me. Today was the first time I saw no names whatsoever on the "users online" list, too.

But now I'm wondering: how has your weekend been?

Visited family or relatives? Cleaned up at home? Sat all day watching the Matrix trilogy all over again? So tell me, what did you do this weekend? (Or what are you going to do - there's still half-a-Sunday to live, eh?) Anything goes.

Me? I played through DMC4 on Saturday and have been trying out my new Cintiq 12" all day (didn't help me dramatically, but still well worth it).

Also: how does it feel to get back to work/school?

Went to the GW, got in a game, stuck with the internet, mowed / edged the lawn.

Overall, I am content with it.

Ever since Saturday, I played Team Fortress 2, read comics about Team Fortress 2, drew a Team Fortress 2 picture, dreamed about me being in Team Fortress 2, talked about Team Fortress 2 with my friends, and ate some Team Fortress 2.

Oh, and 2kinds.

I'm starting to hear sentry sounds out of nowhere.

So, over 6000 registered users and no one online. XD But I guess alot of them don't even bother to talk on the forum. But about my weekend. It is soooooo boring. I have nothing to do. My drivers licencse's restriction ended saturday but couldn't think of anything fun. (I didn't do anything bad it's just that you have to wait 6 months after you get your permit to drive and if you get a drivers license before the six months you get a restriction on it until that date. Alot of people thought I did something wrong.)

My weekend isn't really that fun. School work all day yesterday, doing school work right now and probably all day today. :cry:

Worked at the shop and practiced with my boss's band yesterday. Today? Lion King!!!

And, yeah, schoolwork...

Yesterday? Learned about Jugging. It's like Amtgard football. Rugby with swords. Awesome!

And today, I'm gonna try and get my hands on some of the news Magic set. I had to miss the opening tournaments for the last two weeks, so I'm well behind in acquisition.

It's been a good weekend. Better than usual. I went home to my family and got to spend some time with them. We watched a movie. Chatted. Had some fights. I got to kick my brother's [censored] in DoTa. Played my last football game earlier today. Now my hip hurts pretty badly when I walk.

I've been having trouble eating because my teeth hurt like freaking hell whenever I try to chew something though. Damn bracers. Can't beleive I'm going to have to keep them for two years. Though they actually don't look half bad.

And, uhm, I've been here now and then. But as you said, not much has been going on. Not even on the RP board. So I've been reading through some webcomic archives most of the time at the computer.

Yup, that's pretty much it. Better than most weekends.

Slept in until 8am both days, splurged for some starbucks, wrecked my legs doing leg-presses at the gym, went food shopping with my chinchilla on my shoulder and payed my rent. Pretty average weekend.

Heading back to school isn't that bad, I've got a heavy course-load but it's all stuff I enjoy. Only class I despise (vector calculus) is on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so at least I've got that going for me on Mondays.

I spent most of Friday playing Guitar Hero. I've been on a roll, beating tons of old scores, FCing new ones, getting myself in good enough shape for GHIV.

Yesterday sucked. I got up at about 9:30, screwed around most of the morning until work at 11:30 til 1:30. Got home, tried to get on the computer, but my mom flipped out that I didn't ask. Apparently, I have to ask every time I want to do anything, even if it's 10 seconds to check email. So I went upstairs to play Guitar Hero some more. I went on Wifi and started playing a set of 7 with someone. I was about to win the 4th song, when my mom came in and started flipping out again. I know I broke a rule, but that's no reason to start ranting and raving like a lunatic, screaming at me to stop playing in the middle of a song. I asked to finish the song, and she screamed at my brother to unplug the Wii. So I did it myself, and fled to my room.

...I ended up falling asleep. It was a nice nap. Slept 'til 6(pm). Went downstairs once I woke up because my mom was yelling at my brothers again for some arbitrary reason. She ran to her room at some point and slammed her door. I went downstairs when I heard the bass line to Hit Me With Your Best Shot through my pillow, found my brother playing GH. I let him finish three songs, played myself for 'bout an hour.

Dinner, went upstairs to play StarFox Adventures (Hella' fun) for a while. Then went on the computer. For some reason, no one yelled at me for a while... Got on at 9:00, went unbothered until 11:30, when dad said "GO TO BED!!!" I told that I had been napping all day, and couldn't get to sleep.
I went upstairs anyway. Sat in bed for half an hour, got back on the computer 'til 2. Ran an adware search, but I screwed something up. So I reset the compy, and went to the bathroom.

My dad was waiting in the living room. He told me to go to bed again. I asked if I could just reset the scan and he said "NO." Then he had me go grab the keyboard and mouse ('cause they're gorram wireless), and give them to him. Didn't really affect me, but the whole assertive "I have complete control over you, you disobedient parasite" authority really pisses me off.

Bed.

Woke up to my mom slamming on my door and pulling the blankets off of me. Then she left, and I lied back down for half and hour. Then I heard screaming.

Apparently, there was a squirrel on the front porch, and every time someone creaked open the front door the squirrel made a dash to get inside. I ran downstairs 'cause I wanted to get a look at this. My mom kept banging on the front door to scare it off, but to no avail. The squirrel just sat on the porch, staring at us through the windows. At one point, he climbed into the tree and got a few inches from the window. He started waving at us with his tail. XD


Yeah, then more SFA. Then dad printed up some house rules, got everything written in paper. More pointless restrictions to my gaming and internetting that just don't make any sense because they've failed to provide a reasonable explanation.

Brothers took the rules and tore them into tiny bits, scattering them around the house. Dad got pissed off, lots of shouting... Yeah. No fun.




Then me getting on the computer.
...Wait a minute, I haven't had breakfast yet! D:
I'll get waffles when my "session" is over and I take the gorram mandatory break.

That blows, brah. I'm glad to be an only child; I get away with a lot more. Plus, my parents are totally insane, anyways, so whenever I do something 'wrong,' or throw a fit, they usually just call me an idiot, tell me to go jack off, and we're done with it.

Weekends... Same as other spare times, watching anime, a movie, or browsing the forum here. Not really interesting...

Lucky, lucky you. ( _ _)






Oh, right! I got some new musics yesterday too! :3

Mmm weathers been a lil nasty this weekend, our trip to the rifle range got canceled due to high winds and rain, it's an outdoor range so it woulda blown our targets all over (not that I mind a moving target). Sooo instead I stayed at home and cleaned the house then watched "Run Fatboy Run" with my lil sister.

Far as today goes woke up early and went for a run down the trail then came home. Later today am going to go see "How to lose friends and alienate people.". Love Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, sooo that's about it. Not sure what I'm doing later this afternoon, might just come home and study for my A+. :grin:

I decided to visit home this weekend. Got to see my folks, see a good friend, and sleep in. Oh, and rock climbing. I have plenty of leg strength, but am woefully missing upper body.
