    Depends on where you work. Very little NSFW where I'm at.

    I dated an Italian foreign student in Uni. She was a lot of fun. One of the guys on my floor used to always make the joke that he couldn't tell if we were making love or expelling demons. To be honest, it was a little bit of both.

    It is 67 degrees in Providence in mid January. People are wearing shorts and barbecuing... what in the actual fuck?

    I was born in New Jersey and I do what my friends call the Jersey hand when I talk sometimes.

    I’ve sent out an application to be on a U.K. game show called Countdown. I don’t know about all of you but I’m probably going to get my 15 minutes of fame real soon! Woo hoo.!

    Don’t worry though. I will give any member here my autograph who asks nicely.. hee hee

    Good luck! Never watched Countdown, how does it work?

    My granny twice appeared on a quiz show called Fifteen to One. One of them, she won.

    Ooh.. congratulations to her!

    The point of the game is 9 letters get picked and the aim is to come up with the longest word using those letters. And beat your opponent.

    Then there’s also a numbers round where you’ve got to use 5 numbers to get as close as possible to a target number by either multiplying, adding, subtracting or dividing it.

    Then there’s one anagram round and you’ve got to be faster than your opponent to solve that.

    Then all the scores get added up and whoever scores highest wins.

    If you win you get to go back and play the game all over again.

    That’s about it.

    Yay!!! Finished another rough draft of a novel. Is it good? Is it bad? Who knows, it doesn't matter! It's solely for my personal Library

    It took nearly three months, starting

    2019Nov18 (20191118) till today 2020Jan13 (20200113).

    I wrote it by hand, in a 300 paged, leather-bound Journal, estimated word count.

    36,288

    Not bad for a draft, I didn't even use any of the lore yet, nor details, cuz I was focused on the story

    Edit: I have to correct myself, I did use some lore, where it was very important to the story

    Well, it isn't a standard set of shells and bronze, but
    she'll do. Pretty damn fun to play around with, though
    a bit different compared to a standard kit. :)
