    This may be a dumb question, because everyone else seems to know what you're talking about, but what is this SoBe thing you keep nattering on about? The only thing I can think of is SoyBe, which is a type of infant formula for dairy intolerant kids. But I can't believe that even you are drinking infant formula.....

    SoBe is a line of drinks and teas they sell on top of the world. They have quite a few flavors and try to tote themselves as being healthier than soda. I like their green tea quite a bit. By the way HB, what the heck were you doing on my truck the other morning? Or was that just a relative?

    Work once again sucked last night, they have got to get some staff soon or I am going to die. Working a 12 hour shift and not having time to even stop and eat is nuts. You end up scarfing candy on the run just to keep your energy up.

    Ah, weekend. I almost forgot what it was like in my 3 months of leeching unemployment. It feels quite okay. The downside is that I will remember what the mondays were like, as well.

    It's a bit grey outside, with a shy and vague sun.
    I feel nice. Hope you all do, too. :)

    Gah, Shooting in two hours, the guy HAS GOT to have the camera, if not I swear it would not be pretty. Plus the sound-woman on my team just vanished, don't answer the phone or emails don't show up in class. WTF is the deal with her? She don't care? Teamwork dammit! Teamwork!

    Btw, I think that making Documentaries are so much more fun than fiction movies.

    Uh-huh.
    ;)

    I was merely commenting out of irritation- I'm not in the habit of asking people I've never me for sympathy. While normally I'd agree that 7 hours is not bad, I've been very tired lately and have been bleeding a lot, which doesn't help.

    Besides, it was partly the thought of having to get up and smile my way through people telling me about the weather as though the last five people haven't said exactly the same thing.

    Heya, sorry Decados :D . I was probably a little grumpy from not getting enough sleep lately :p . I look forward to a time many years from now when I will be able to sleep as much as I want too.

    I guess I should apologise too. In retrospect, I kinda just snapped back at you. Sorry about that.

    In other news: my grandparents have arrived.

    Brall has summed it up pretty well, though I will add a part: SoBe also dabbles in energy drinks, which includes Adrenaline Rush and No Fear. Both are available as regular or sugar-free, and No Fear is also available in a Gold version, which hits even harder than regular No Fear. No Fear Gold isn't to be taken lightly.

    Also, SoBe are known for their bottlecaps, which parody popular culture. Here are a few examples: "Say Hello To My Little Lizard" (from Scarface - original quote is "Say Hello To My Little Friend"), Sobe Wan Kenobi (DUH), Apocalizard Now (Apocalyspe Now - the movie), and a few others.

    I do - Aurora Toolset works plain badly with Wine and Kubuntu is a bit bloated and assumes a bit too much about the user's intentions.

    Now, Gentoo without the bloody compiling...

    DotW: I love the lizzard comments too. One of my favourites is "I want to hole your Lizzard"

    Daie: But I would look like something out of a nightmare in one of those school girl outfits...

    Saber: You got that right, but I can't keep steady opponents because they tend to get out of the hobby and/or live miles away from me...

    I have a headache...

    Posting at work again, life is much better tonight.

    Magic the Gathering is an awesome game, just hard to find someone to play with at my age and location. Still have the PC version.

    Magic the Gathering rules.

    I used to have a big collection of cards but I sold them all to finance living when I hit hard times :(

    Good old eBay!

    I sold my by the pound when I was really hard up for cash. It was the same time I sold my comic book collection by the pound. I made $150 but I lost money if I had sold them on Ebay.

    Back when I was a security gaurd we used to play by the hours, it was great!

    Now, Dragonfly, why would you ever *not* agree with me? I am a very agreeable person. :p

    As an update...to sort of clear up some stuff:

    Friday, after a 12 hour shift, I got off work at 7am and got in to bed around 8am. I woke up 4 hours later to the never-ending noise above me. I went back to work at 6:30pm and got off at 7am. From there, I had to go straight to school. Once school was out at 1pm, I was having trouble keeping my eyes open while driving home...but managed it without hitting anyone...at least; I don't think I hit anyone. :p I ended up crashing on my bed, fully clothed...hat and shoes included...at 2pm. :bad:

    It's kind of funny how, just a few years ago, I would go to LAN parties that lasted all night or all weekend...and I was able to stay awake just fine. But then again, that was before I was right after high school and before I had a real job. Now, after one 12 hour shift I'm dead.

    Sleep is good. :D :rolling:

    Well that solves it. I did wonder who almost hit me while driving with their eyes closed.
    :p

    Just how appreciative would you be?

    Nah, the spell is unlikely to get past homework's almost total magic resistance and godly saving throws.
