Re: Off Topic 2013

Not sure if its a good thing that I'm planning out my video gaming for the summer already haha.

It's a great idea as I still have the same long list of games to beat that I had earlier as I actually had to do a **** ton of stuff this semester opposed to the past where I didn't show up and the class only had 3 grades.

Will be up in Tally for a 6 week summer session, then after that i'll just be bored in Tampa playing games, catching up on TV shows, an online class and the pool.

The best is figuring out the ways to get the target yourself. Trust me. Everyone does trial and error

A Fertilizer Plant exploded in the town of West, TX. Which is about 15 miles North of me.

Saw on twitter that one news station has said that 5 firefighters and 1 policeman has died so far.

I'm really starting to think that I must be Finnish too, or at least look like it.

Every time I go to the Golden Dragon buffet the workers always come up to me and ask "Are you Finnish?"

I have always wanted to go there and try to become the mayor. I found out about it in middle school

I don't think they are big enough to have a mayor. You'd have to go for Chairman of the Township Board.

Good enough for me. For some reason, I feel like the townsfolk would look at me like the little aliens in Toy Story looked at the claw
