Well, my dad doesn't have a whole lot of experience with gangs, but I don't think he was April Fooling us or anything. I think he thought what he was saying was pretty darn true. I will admit, it's terribly stereotyping of him.
It was funny, though, because I totally went up on deck and met this really nice middle-aged black lady - one of the ones who would probably wear a sweater with a kitten on it in winter? I didn't think she was going to throw me overboard. And seeing as we were on a cruise ship, I think my legs were probably shaved every day - that whole swimsuit thing and all. And Earniel, I have a theory that birds play a game similar to that. Have you ever been driving and a bird swoop right in front of your car? Yeah. Same thing. I don't know about the gang part, but it's definitely a birdie status symbol. The closer they come to death, the more points they get.

What were you studying? Anatomy? And, more importantly, whose?

I'm also not sure anyone noticed, but I'll point out that I handled the ignoration of my refreshments with grace and patience. We're cool like that.
*Watch the refreshments be completely gone when I get back*

This place feels so quiet these days... Guess there's a lot going on, but it's not what I'm interested in. I'll try to stay tuned, though.

I don't think the ballot box is open yet (we've had this discussion). In the meantime, Noble, you could CONSIDER voting for Acalewia and Hector.
Or you could consider voting for Varna and me. You can see our answers to some major platform questions in the election thread. I know what you mean, though. The Teacup seems rather empty. Let's see. Only 30 posts among all of us in the last 5 days!

Coffeehouse! Good to see you!
Last night I was actually reading through some of our interactions in the past - hoping we would get to some RPG interaction at some point

Oh right, I am... I'm so used to leaving that to others (read: more competent people) that it didn't really cross my mind.

Ugh... anyway, my civil service is going well. I really like the place, and the people are quite nice as well. Doing good.

Heh, I think they already did for Acally :P
Phew, just got back from my internship. Someone please pass me a pillow. Too tired to go find my secret stack. It tends to move around. >_<
