What's your favorite TV show (if you watch TV)?

Proflowers

What's your favorite drink?

khv4.0v2.

I love how this almost became a Tumblr thread.

(psst mine's in my sig if anyone wishes)

They seem right to me, but I'm going on less than 2 years of French here. I'm more the Spanish gal here.

So...if it's 8 pm tomorrow in Europe, then that means maybe 3 or 4 am-ish here on the East Coast...?

Also, possibly unrelated, but what caught my eye in that article was the mention of a "defunct" constellation. What is that, and who decides if a constellation is defunct?

Ah. So it's more of a paperweight with an included Kingdom Key letter opener. I gotcha.

Cute, but if I actually used it for it's intended purpose, my students wouldn't be able to stop playing with it. Or they'd break the keyblade off, which would then give me an awesome pedestal to use as a paperweight and a Kingdom Key letter opener.

I'm from the Northeast and we call them soda and jimmies or sprinkles. I actually got weird looks when I was on Cape Cod and asked for some sprinkles on my sundae.

I've escaped the scary place known as college, with good grades and a degree to boot, and would be more than happy to share what I used to do.

I loved using Powerpoint while studying. I know it's not the first thing people think of when it comes to study materials, but rather for final projects involving slide shows. But my favorite thing was making sets of flash cards in it, that I could use to quiz myself on vocabulary terms or history dates. It also came in handy when I was writing papers, because I could make slides with quotes on them, and group them together by topic. Also made it easier to write up a bibliography if the paper needed one.

Very rarely did I study alone. My group of friends and I would meet in the library to study, and we'd bounce things off of each other or quiz each other. We'd also bring things like snacks and games, and made sure to take a break every so often so we didn't get burnt out. That was a big thing; cramming is never a good idea. You need to pace yourself when you study and make sure you can handle what you set up for yourself. I did the same thing for assignments too, sorting them first by due dates and knocking them out bit by bit. It made it easier to take those long term papers or projects too.

Finished unwrapping all our gifts a while ago, now we're messing around with them. I got a new DSi XL this year, which has been a blast so far because I don't have to hold it up to my nose like my Lite to see what I'm doing. It came wrapped with Layton and the Unwound Future, so consider the rest of my afternoon spent.

Also got holiday Smencils (scented pencils, a la Mr. Sketch markers, anyone remember those?), a ginormous candy cane, gift cards for Gamestop and Barnes and Noble, a $20 cash card, some new PJs, the Fushigi ball, that fold-up organizer thing on TV, some pistachios, gourmet coffee, and a set of holiday themed mini Giant Microbes dolls that double as ornaments. I'll have to get a picture of them later, they're too funny.

We had our grandmother over last night, and we got Despicable Me on Blu Ray to watch after dinner yesterday. Love it.

So I guess I know what I'll be bringing to Oklahoma the next time I want to rob something.

Spoiler

I wouldn't try selling it at Gamestop for the exact reason TGA mentioned. They have to test everything they trade in (that's why there's a TV at the counter) before they can finish the trade. If they can't get yours to work at all they won't even give you the credit, or you'll get a piddly amount for it.

Your best best is to sell it on eBay, mention the issues, and get a buyer who wants it for the parts. There's plenty of people out there that would try to build their own system from scratch or could use the parts to repair another system. You'll probably get more for it there too than you would at a trade-in.

The Money Pit.

It has Tom Hanks in it, and is basically a disaster house story. Felt like watching an hour long Tom and Jerry cartoon at times.

For the DS I highly recommend the Professor Layton series. If you're into brainteasers this is for you, I spend countless hours daily playing this game. You can also take it onto Nintendo WFC and download new puzzles for the games weekly.

A Christmas Story is just classic, as is Scrooged. As soon as those come on, we all watch them. I haven't seen the Muppet Christmas Carol in a long time, but I loved that one too.

And I thought I was the only one who remembered Wakko's Wish...

Hoo boy, mine has a bit of a long story.


Back when I was a teeny-bopper trying to be cool, I was trying to come up with an awesome name for a character I was going to use in a roleplay. Couldn't think of anything, and wasn't a huge fan of the internet at the time. So one day I was goofing off with my younger brother and playing that old Pokemon card game with him when I stumbled across the name Nishida at the bottom of one of the cards. Thought that looked cool, but wanted to be somewhat original, so I swapped the I with an A, making Nashida. The name just stuck.

This was almost 10 years ago now.

Nah-shee-dah.

Not Nay-shy-deh, as one person called me at Artist's Alley last year.

I think my uncle said it best: "Normal is weird and boring."
