My condolences Q. My sympathies go out to you and your family in this difficult time. Hope you and those close to you are coping with the loss and it doesn't hurt for too long.

Big Green, nice to see you around. Will you be contributing more regularly again, or just from time to time. Hope all is well.

Sorry to hear that Q, I couldn't imagine ever losing my mum (I know it was your Dad, but I have only ever lived with mum), it's great to see that you don't seem completely down in the dumps. Things will only go up from here, now that you don't have to see him in so much pain.

I'll be gone for a while thanks to a miscommunication with a fucking retard of a property manager. We were given 48 hours to find a new house, be chosen for the property, pack and move. Fucking insane. Of course we couldn't pull it off, and now my mum has to pay for the new tenants to stay in a hotel until we are gone, plus she will be blacklisted for three years on the rental records.

We have been trying to get a state house, so if we stay with family we will be cut of the state housing list. A lady had 2 babies in a garage, lived there for 6 months. She intended to only be there for a few days until she got put in state housing, but Housing NZ found out the garage was owned by a family member of hers so they made her stay there.

So yeah I don't know where we can stay, we have no money now since we are paying for the new tenants hotel fees, so I'll see you guys when I see you.

Sorry to hear that, Shannon. But be strong. (Y)

I'll be "away" from posting here until I get my thesis group through the defense. We got scorched last Thursday and will have a re-defense this coming Thursday. This time, it's personal. Once the lead panelist gave us a "fail" verdict, he dies.

On second thought, I'd just summon lolcats to swarm on him.

Thanks too Shannon. I needed moral e-support from you guys.

Anyway, the caption in Elbeen's posted lolcat is somehow similar to the slogan we used in our defense: "The End Begins"

*cough* related poster in my Photoshop thread *cough*

Hope things get better for you and your mom Shannon.

If all else fails, you could always kill those who got in your way.

*Warning*
*Attention-whoring in progress*


Time to go..again.
As I PMed to cyanide, it's not a permanent goodbye but a temporary one.
Two years away more or less. What a bitch. Busy is the reason.

As my pattern for the past weeks, I spam the forums in a day then disappear again for a week and after that time spam again in a day. Reason for that is I only get to be online during the weekends where I have to do some required reading and spamming the forums is the only break/relax time I get while having to be in front of a computer for a day of reading and stealing information and knowledge in the internets.

With the workload deifinitely about to increase, relax/posting time in the forums is about to decrease drastically or none at all. Also sooner or later the internets will be unable to provide info that I need and I have to go those things called libraries just to get it.

I might be posting randomly on rare occasions like asking for help in the forums or seeing a really interesting/weird topic such as if the time comes that Drex comes out of the closet and declares his love for Axel or illini growing some limbs and mutating into a killer reptile, but I don't see myself asking for help in the forums in the near future or spontaneous limb growth happening anytime soon so I really don't know.

By the amount of spam I make I think it's pretty obvious that I enjoy posting in the NLSC unless you're a stupid canadien and don't know the obvious if it was slapped across your face.

My last formal post before my forum sabbatical begins is posting a sig that I promised for some member in the Requests a Sig thread. My word is my word so I have to make it.

I would post shoutouts but that would defeat the purpose of my attention-whoring by whoring others instead of me.
So fuck off you attention-stealing-whores.
I can truly say you guys here in the NLSC deserve a big pat in the back from Axel for creating a nice online community.

So until we e-meet again, goodbye for now you bastards.

*end of attention-whoring*

Definitely a sig-worthy quote. (Y)

Sorry to see that the real world's catching up with you shadowgrin, good luck with studying and I hope you drop by again when things aren't so hectic.

Here's a classic Disco Stu moment to mark the occasion:

Sup fellas. Anyone still remember me? Just stopping by. Have pretty much stopped visiting here since I didn't like Live 07 and I've been busy with a lot of things. But lately I've been browsing again for patches since I've got a new computer and been playing 08 more and more (though if it weren't for the patches, the game would be unbearable). Just wanted to stop by and say howdy. So here goes: HOWDY!

I think the patchers here are doing good things to make Live 08 for pc tolerable
