Jen'ari Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've reconsidered Glastonbury, I'm going to go to Cochella instead, what an amazing line up-except Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar being headliners but they're easily avoided, I can tie it in with visiting family too .

Both sound good, though I would probably have chosen Glastonbury myself. But then travelling to Glastonbury would be the much more viable option of the two for me Still, I do like the Glastonbury line up.

Pebble thats Stubby Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Bucky, your lucky we don't have a pictionary game about to start, or my sentence would be something like Might not be safe for work, and Rocksniffer would love to draw it. Disappointing in her Christmas vibrating stimulating panty pressie, the Flower not wanting to offend her boyfriend resolves to secretly keep her old rabbit I just want to add, I would not actually use that as a sentence as I know how you would feel about any such drawings. but I would be so so tempted.

ab aeterno Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I find myself actually wanting to play pictionary. We could be more subtle than that sentence and still include vibrations and phones in every sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 So the moral is never provoke people's imagination by trying to keep something private for no reason? Note taken. Now let's change the topic. Are you Viking fans all watching the new season? I haven't even started catching up yet I want to finish the good wife first. so far I have kept myself relatively spoiler free about the details.

You are a 25 y/o person in middle-Western Europe in 2017, you can't exist without being able to handle a smart phone. No pressure, just saying. (But do use that phone. (But no pressure really. (Okay, I'll stop.))) I follow some Vikings related content, but it's not too obvious about anything because the purpose of the posts is advertising so it's usually just teaser to make you watch it.

Yeah, historical series must be kinda frustrating when you have an in depth knowledge of the actual history. I love history, but I'm mostly just an enthusiast and don't have the kind of knowledge that would make these shows unenjoyable. But yeah the portrayal of the figures of my history does make me laugh too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirst is desperately trying to keep this going even though he should be wrapping it up at this point.

I was referring to the quality of the character rather than Yidu herself. Long story short Hirst sucks at creating characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
