The Syndicate

I am spreading Christmas out for a bit, lol. My first celebration was with my mom's side on Sunday, then tonight my mom and sister come down to my apt and are staying the night. The 26th I'm spending quality time with Socky and then celebrating with my Dad on Sunday the 30th. So my gifts are slowly dwindling from under the tree, lol.

Oh and my sister bought me a new frying pan, which totally makes my day!!

How fun Bea! I'll gladly be Skillet Queen with you!

Bahahaha! So very true!

I think my iPad is doing drugs while I am at work. I have a down in my lower bar when you scroll all the way down, just underneath the link/word "bookmark"

What on earth is that about? And occasionally, the smilies show up gigantic... And warped looking!

Perhaps an intervention should be staged. And a twelve step program employed. My poor iPad is throwing its life away on drugs...

I absolutely MUST share a story with you all. Yesterday I was going to drop MP off at work and then go to work myself, and we could not find my keys. Now bear in mind, I am incredibly forgetful and lose things frequently, but this time I could not find them anywhere. Which can drive him crazy because he is way more organized than I am. MP was all like, we have to assign a place where you always put your keys, even if I have to out a big sign there that says KEYS!

We finally give up,and I use the spare keys to my car and steal his key to my apartment. Then he texts me that night, guess where the keys turned up?

IN HIS COAT POCKET!

Yep.

Yeah but I usually have an idea of where they might be because I can think through what I did when I walked in the door. It might not be immediate but I have always found them.

I do have a bad habit of misplacing things. Poor MP has to deal with my absent minded personality.

LMAO! That's perfect Indi!

I suppose that can definitely be consider a hobby...

Wait, wrong thread. Move along, nothing to see here folks...

I'll remember that excuse Bea.

Lol, the day will come Kate, today will come. But remember to enjoy it as much as you can because it won't be long before you lose the high ground. The last time he was here we were repeating the same thing, searching for the keys,this time it seems I left them hanging in the lock. I can't harass him any more. *sigh* it was much too short lived.

I hate daylight savings...

Confession: I posted that statement about daylight savings to confirm if my iPad had automatically changed time. I have no normal clocks in my apartment, lol. Also, don't forget to change your time settings on the forums!

I think in mafia, aggressive has come to mean something it does not mean onthe real world. Someone who kind of plays a very vocal or opinionated game is considered aggressive in mafia, whereas in most other areas of life aggressive would mean belligerent or mean spirited. I highly doubt anyone considers the latter to apply to you at All my dear Roxy. Don't let it get you down, just consider the context. you are an awesome and fun player, games are not the same without you!

A muscle in my arm has been twitching off and on for the past four days.i am starting to get really annoyed.

It's like me and diggz all over again, I'm getting another freekin' toothache and I've still not gotten over the one *he* gave me.











Not that it matters any, but I approve of this match-up.

I so totally agree with this sentiment 100%! Except for the Bea/Diggs toothache stuff because by the time I started getting to know Bea, she was well past this stage.

When is your move? Also, what is the new job? I missed if you said it somewhere else.

I do still want to know the answers to my questions though.

I've heard that too. Some specific someone's had a pretty fantastic weekend.

Lol, so true Bea. He did a great job lying about it though. And I tried repeatedly to get him to open it instead of me. He kept insisting I should open it, Lol. And it was so very Alex. He couldn't wait for really elaborate plans. He just rushed in the door and did it immediately. I love it tbqh.

What's Firefly?

I love you guys. And I love this community. Some of the greatest people I have the honor of knowing, I have met right here in this community.

To fit with the random nature of this thread...

This is one of my favorite websites: Rejected Princesses

Just want to let everyone know who hears about the earthquake that me and my family are safe. My city (Wellington) felt it pretty strong and did take a decent amount of damage in some areas, but there haven't been any serious injuries or deaths here.

Closer to the epicentre, the town of Kaikoura which is a very picturesque tourist town seems to be completely munted (the New Zealand term for being completely fucked by an earthquake) and many roads are going to take a lot to repair. There are a couple of deaths in the south island too, sadly.

Also, it's so outside of my experience to have a word specifically to refer to a place being completely fucked by an earthquake. I can't even imagine.

Random topic change: the third shift girl didn't show up to work the night before last. I had a warning this might happen so I lined up two other people in order to split the shift up. So for example, my normal shift was 3-11, but I was already in overtime so I came in at 4 pm and then worked until 3 am. Then the other AM in training came in at 3 am and worked until 1 pm. Then the second shift girl came in at 1 pm and worked until 11 pm. Anyway, the long and the short of it was I worked a long day into the wee hours.

During the very deadest of dead hours, to kill time and keep my mind alert, I started tossing together a possible role list from an idea for a Better Off Ted Heist game I have been thinking about creating. So I grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote down the following:

Better Off Ted Mafia

Ted
Rose
Linda
Veronica
Phil
Lem
Other R&D team #1 (??)
Other R&D team #2 (??)
Lem's mom
Linda's bf
Other Scientist #1 (?? Patricia?)
Other Scientist #2 (??)
Boss (??)

I was very tired when I left and I think I left the paper at work on the counter in the office. I'm wondering what my boss thought when he found it...

Weirdness in the Sockface household. We received a package yesterday addressed to Alex and Annie Browne. It contained a board game. But... we didn't order any board games. And as of yet I have not had anyone confess to sending it to us. We're going to try it out this afternoon. It would be nice to know who sent it and why so that we can at least say thanks. Talk about random...

LOL, someone else made a Jumanji reference on my fb when I posted about it there.

Vast: the Crystal Caverns

Our fun little mystery was solved. Russtifinko and his lovely lady were behind it.

You know how your iPhone suggests three possible words you mean or might want next as you type? My fat fingers tend to accidentally hit those words while I am trying to type, resulting in some of the most confusing and hysterical gibberish ever read.

Just back after long break from Mafia. How is everyone?
Liking the new look!

Welcome back!!!

What's Naraator Mafia? And where was your home site?

Oh, Narrator is just a browser form of Mafia (kind of like ToS, but more similar to Forum Mafia's ability to be customized). I posted about it like a year ago, but it was pretty alpha then so probably didn't get much use.

My home site was Sc2Mafia, which is the forums for the StarCraft II Arcade map for Mafia. But, as Sc2's player base dwindles, so does the Forum's.

G-Man's Chicka, Chicka, 1, 2, 3 game is in sign ups and it should be an intriguing concept game.

I finally was able to get the header banner up! It was a collaborative work between [mention]Long Con[/mention] and I. Frankly, he made it amazing so I want to thank him for his work!

We're finally starting to look like an updated version of ourselves again... lol. Once I figured out how to do it I felt silly that it took me as long as it did. Oh well, live and learn. This is definitely a process for me.

Epi, that was lovely, seriously. Thank you for sharing that.

Well... Harvey is coming. I didn't go grocery shopping earlier today or yesterday so we're kind of flying by the seat of our pants. Hope we don't lose power, but it's a definite chance. They are calling for somewhere between 10-20 inches of rain here in San Antonio. Insane. Glad we have a second floor apartment right about now. Ugh...

:o I'd buy it sight unseen!

Agreed!

...and the bear carried the marmot out.

For some reason I think this might be accurate. In my imaginary world where we all actually hang out in real life, I think SVS could handle her alcohol better than the Marmot.

I think this is my favorite Hed ever. It should be immortalized. We don't have many Hedville Brethren left here.

To the best of my knowledge Alex is staying. But I can’t say that with 100% confidence because I’m not him and I don’t know what his plans are. I am definitely staying. We both love this community and will not let our personal issues manifest in The Syndicate. No one will be asked to choose between us or anything. So fret not, neither of us is being forced out.

I apologize that I have been absent in the midst of this. Sometimes you have to be able to step back and take care of your own emotional well being. I am now in Waco with my sister, and in the next couple weeks you will start to see me here more consistently.

Oooo that sounds fun.
