@Toraish:
If my memory serves me correctly, I did say something about flight tickets at some point.
But I have no money to actually pull something like that off… ;_;
I'll manage to do it somehow, someday. ;-;

HEY, when is it my turn to meet someone from AP in real life?
How does this work.. HOW IS IT EVEN FAIR D; Damn you all!
Ah, don't feel too bad. A lot of us live long distances from each other, so only the lucky ones who live in the same country/continent and are close by, or actually have money to spare for travel would be able to.
…Still isn't very fair, but that's mostly due to distance and/or travel expenses; kinda sad, too. Man, it would be fun to meet some of you guys.:sad:

Exactly what I was thinking, but I still NEED to do it, and with some luck I will. Its not like its impossible, I just need loads of cash and I am set. :C

I understand the feeling. It's not easy coming up with enough money for travel these days, so that doesn't help. Though I'm sure you'll be able to do it one of these days, if you put your mind to it! :happy: I'd probably just end up lost and scared somewhere…
Get a job working for the airport and you can fly for free
Like my sister is just an intern pilot for delta for the past 2 months, but she's already flown to Israel for the weekend and is thinking about flying to china for thanksgiving. Like I'm not involved at all but I could fly for free with her if I paid an initial 70$ and in some cases, taxes on over sea flights
Pilots and I think actual delta employees have 'buddy passes' where they can get free flights for friends/family members. Like when my sis becomes an actual pilot, she'll get 8 passes in addition to herself being able to fly anywhere for free

I'd fly stand by right now if I could but I'm too busy and don't have the 70$

Ohh, you're so lucky though!
I've hosted online friends on multiple occasions and I've stayed with multiple online friends across the world, so I'm always down for some meetups.

If not for that last part I would've thought you were openly teasing us lol.
Let's wreck the Saudi tourism regulations and arrange the next proper AP get-together in Jeddah.
YES!
It would be hilarious.
All the females will wear Abaya's and the dudes will have to deal with right about half of the population of Jeddah staring at them for no reason really
..that if you survived the heat anyway.
I told you it would be hilarious! so when is it? :ninja:
Ironic. I was actually looking into some security jobs at the airport this past weekend. I'm a bit worried I may not have the physique for it since I've gotten thinner due to being unemployed + working odd jobs for bills + eating about 1-2 decent meals a week(it was a sandwich a day really). Despite all that, I'll remain a bit positive. I know my dad worked at the airport during the times he was alive, and his health was far worse than mine.
In terms of online meetups/hangouts, it would help if we do live a bit close to eachother… Otherwise, I can't see myself making a long trip unless it's a meetup during some event, or if I happen to be passing by in the area or something.
It would be truly an honor to meet any of you in person. You all seem so polite!
Hm… what if there was some sort of "Arlong Park Meetup Event"? That would be interesting.
@Toraish:

Yeah let's all melt
Then you can take us to Finland and we can freeze back
This is how weather works, right?
I'd take you to a sauna. :>
Let's have the meet up in Llanberis, Wales! I just left there and kind of want to go back. It's pretty. And the guest house comes with a sauna.
@Print:

Sold. When?

What a lovely place. It's like a dream! Complete with a sauna.

It rains a lot in Wales so sometime in summer might be better, especially if anyone would want to go hiking up Snowdon. But in November, the hillsides are a medley of oranges, greys, reds, golds and browns with a slightly faded age to them, an ancient autumn. And it might snow in winter, so I guess it's anyone's call.
I met up with hiroy a few days ago and it was pretty cool. I bought him a lot of food and we admired Octodad.
I guess this weekend was the weekend for meetups

The implication that rain is not awesome offends me!

Cold rain isn't. Try walking a couple of kilometers in the rain when it's barely above 0C outside. It's one of the worst weathers ever.

Who said anything about walking (long distances) in it, especially without umbrellas/raincoats?
Rain is the best weather.
@Holy:
Rain is the best weather.
This is why you're my waifu.
How about the days with cool, gentle breezes?

On Snowdon, it's like swimming through air. Endampens everything. I'm all for rain, but warm rain, rain that bounces off your skin, not the kind that clings to you like an cold coat of seaweed. You don't generally kind the former in Wales, but the latter, well.
It was a rainy day when we hung out too.
Would have prefered a nice breezy day with a clear sky bathed in sunset light myself honestly >_> That's the best kind of outdoor conditions.
I actually ran into e1n this weekend for like 5 minutes
He's a nice guy

Ah, a warm, summer day with a downpour. Those are the best.:happy: Also the cool, mysterious overcast days of mid fall.
When the rain is really cold, I call it snot rain to emphasize its grossness…

Isn't the official story that god in all his greatness came to all the peoples of the world, but the Jewish people were the only ones who accepted and worshipped him, and that's why they are the chosen people
No, because the Jewish people literally didn't exist yet. He told Abraham to come to the Promised Land in order to SIRE His chosen people.
My energy keeps bouncing up and down. One day i can take on the world with one hand, others i can't be bothered to get out off bed.
Guess it could be that i haven't eaten all too well lately

Make sure you're getting enough vitamins in your diet, and try to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. If you like fish, salmon has lots of nutrients. :)
Today was kind of normal, I had to go to the hospital to pick up some free medicine to my mother … I thought it would take minutes .. but no, it took more than three hours. A huge line of people in front of me and nothing to do "fun, where is it?
Oh, my mother made me a bet, if I go without drinking soda until Christmas, she will pay the round-trip ticket to the northeast of Brazil (part of my solo trip around Brazil). I think I can´t do this.
It´s too hard.

Can I call the dream I had right now, bad? Cause I was living in konoha, while it was still being built.
I actually ran into e1n this weekend for like 5 minutes
He's a nice guy
ooh I hope you guys had fun! tbh e1n is like one of those people I've always admired from a far away distance, I think I'd be starstruck if I ever met him. I can say this because I know he's not active on here anymore… I hope.

I echo Epoida, that sounds like a great deal. You can do it!! Set up a countdown. And start reading articles about how bad soda is for you. Put up ugly pictures of people with corroded organs around your room (whether related or not). And remind yourself that it's only temporary~ Find a substitute for the meantime, like drink a lot of fruit juice or something.
Make sure you're getting enough vitamins in your diet, and try to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. If you like fish, salmon has lots of nutrients. :)
Eh it's mostly a financial issue, when i have the moolah i'm eating healthy as can be.
But good advice anyhow

Well first off, do you even want to stop drinking soda?
Or is it just a yay i can get stuff for this type of deal. Cause if there's no real conviction on your part it could be pretty hard to resist the temptations

Yeah, Foolio bought me a shitload of food and stuff. He took me to this fancy Italian place with the best bleu cheese I've ever had in my life, imported from Denmark, and I've had a lot of bleu cheese. All of the servers were ridiculously attractive, they were all part of the same Sicilian family.
Very nice.
Danish blue tastes great so this unlikely story checks out
If someone ever comes here to meet me, I'm going to get the scariest biggest guy I know to go to the meet-up place and greet them instead
@wolfwoof:

How is it unlikely? It was like, one of the least outlandish things that happened up there.
My suspicions were first aroused when there were actual Italians working at an Italian restaurant in California
But you are focusing on the wrong thing, the main point is that Scandinavian cheese is awesome
@wolfwoof:

It's my favorite restaurant ever and I'll take anyone who visits me there. But I'm not buying your food if you're not poor; shit gets expensive.

Oh please, you would buy me food even if I weren't poor.
After all, remember what your fortune cookie said~
Is that an invitation?
Everything i say is possible to interpret as an invitation. This is the curse we charmers need to live with
But so you two have some sort of charming reverese Titanic going on eh?
Or y'know any other budding love story where one is filthy rich and the other is the streetwise scoundrel

Oh shit it DID say something about spending money, didn't it… XD
But I guess you're right. If someone is poor OR as sexy as you, I'll buy. ;)

Yes TheCrystalShip the street thug. I'm totally not mentally laughing right now.
No no a scoundrel like Inigo Montoya. Not a thug like ehm someone who's thuggish, and huge.
Oh i'm kicking myself for not going with pretty woman there
The rich corporate bastard with a heart of gold, the cynical and jaded streetwalker who brings it out in him.
Cinematic gold right there
