  1. I was born in Kingston, Pennsylvania. I lived first in Lee Park in Hanover Township from 1985 until 1987. Then moved from the valley to the mountains to Nuangola Station in Rice Township. From 1987 until 2005. Finally moved to Montreal, Quebec during July 2005. In Montreal, I lived in four different apartments in three different districts. I'm a student. It's normal for us to move a lot in Montreal since the leases usually only last for a year.
  2. I don't have any living with me... But these are my parents. Jake (black) and Dillon (red). Oh... they're brothers. (as you can see, Jake the dog in my story is actually real. lol)
  3. Razor: You still haven't shown me you tummy. <3 Jim: W.E.L.C.O.M.E. Arpe: I love it nevertheless. I'm thinking of getting a different haircut. I've been stuck with this style for over two years. Heh.
  4. Just google "ALT codes French" and you'll find it right away. http://french.about.com/od/writing/ss/typeaccents_7.htm ALT + 0151 Mine is already part of the keyboard so... no number memorizing.
  5. lol Guys... remember, a GA rule states that we must translate any language you speak into English so everyone can be part of this little convo. Ou est Madame Bovary? = Where is Madame Bovary? (There should be an accent grave on the u in "ou" though.) Madam Bovary est dans la chambre....avec le President de Burundi. = Madame Bovary is in the room with the President of Burundi. (It should be "Madame Bovary est dans la chambre... avec le pr
  6. It was a surprise I didn't get any hangover on the second night of alcohol. God I drank alcohol from Friday until Monday. I downed 25 drinks then. o,O But I have an excuse... it was my week-long midterm break from school... So... Thanks for the bday wishes again.
  7. Qui? Who?
  8. So I spent hours doing this...
  9. More like a vibrator. You see, it's missing balls. As for me, usually I do unproductive things and go to a cafe for coffee and read/surf the net for hours there.
  10. Happy Birthday. We're twins. We share the same day.
  11. Happy 21st. It's awesome to have the same birthday as the guy who has his username in French. Oh yeahhhh.
  12. Thanks a lot for the birthday wishes. I've been drinking about twenty glasses of beer and drinks in 24 hours. I'll have to give my liver a long break. I spent an hour trying to find my way home (I was several kilometres away from it) at 2am since I missed the last metro (got the time wrong). So I had to shell out $20 to take a taxi. I was too drunk to figure out my way home anyway.
  13. My fault... I mentioned Jersey and this is what I get instead of people commenting my photo. Oh my, I sprinkled a lot of egoism all over that sentence.
  14. Maybe it was me. But again I do not come from god f**king Jersey. <3
  15. *bumps* As usual, I don't smile.
  16. All I can say the weather is cruel here. For two days, it was about 40F/5C and honestly, I felt too warm even with a light coat and was wishing to get colder. Now it's 14F/-10C. So much for a thaw.

  18. Ice would still melt at -2C if the sun is out and strong enough. The resulting liquid would dry up due to low humidity of the cold air. But it's a different story when it's -15C and sunny. Ice would be so frozen by then.
  19. If you must know, traditional breakfast in the USA (and as well as Canada) are heavily based on full English breakfast with mixes from other European traditions. I rarely eat a full breakfast anyway. Only once or twice per year. I usually eat light to start my morning with cereal or oatmeal or bagel or croissant. Then I leave for school, picking up coffee on the way.
  20. Erm, I just bang it on something and crack it open with my fingers.
  21. They'll know why once they get into a ditch and mechanic shop. Local taxes don't protect them from stupidity. Yes, snowchain can cause unneeded damages to the roads if you use it too much. We keep it in the trunk in case if you're unlucky enough to run into a storm or worsing conditions, we put them on and think about getting home. Salt and plows are also very taxing on the pavement (not sidewalk... the blacktop), so that's why we have to repair or even repave the roads once every few years. If you show a photo of a town, everyone could tell whether the town is in Canada or not just by looking at the quality of the pavement. lol I doubt I heard about them, but I did hear about strikers actually making it to the spot to strike during the storm. Eh? Let's just call it typical human stupidity. Not truely just a British thing. Perhaps I should take photos. Maybe tomorrow. Just because everyone is showing them off. I won't do it today. I've been outside long enough today and it's -20 C at this moment.
  22. un trip... ehhhh... nothing else.
  23. That is why I am wondering if they're overhyping it or not. But my impression is that they go into chaos over a few centimetres of snow (not over a long-term, but when it falls). It still doesn't explain why... conductors operating a train weighing thousands of tonnes freak out over a "dusting" on the railway tracks. I figured the signalling system is not cold-resistant. It does go below freezing in southeastern England a few years per year, so it's a normal thing. Getting signallings to be slightly more resistance by a few more degrees C isn't much of an extra expense. But as you've said, privatization may be a factor getting silly railway services. An investment in snow chains might be better than spending a few hundreds of pounds getting your car towed out of a ditch after slipping on a patch of ice. And if you're unlucky enough, a few more hundreds of pounds to get your bent-tire realigned. I know your snow ends up as slush (mix of wate and ice) and it seems not to uncommon. Black ice (clear ice on wet black road not not easy to be visible), especially at night. I hit one of those at 25 mph and slammed my car to the curb. Bent the tire. What seemed to be a minor repair turned out to be a $2000 one because the metal frame under the engine got bent as well. Sadly, my dad deemed the car unworthy to fix and dumped it at a mechanic shop. I was very pissed off because he had no right to give up the car under my name and so on. He lied to me about it too. I'm still bitter because even after four years, I'm still without my own car. I would've had it fixed myself if it means to preserve my mobility not restricted by my parents (when they let me use their cars, conditions apply... ). I heard many arguments, several of which seem plausiable. Weather-predicting is still an inexact science and it's sometimes a pain to know whether if the forcasters are talking out of their ass or not. I know it's sweet to justify a day off from work and enjoy a day of rest, but it might not look for those working at a company undergoing a workforce reduction in this time of economic difficulty. Showing up to work when 1/4 of the employees didn't do so give you character and putting work as one of your priorities. I'll have to say, hopefully those companies won't have to look at "*Blizzard* of 2008 Attendence List" as a factor whether to lay off an employee or not. Even public workers from Whitehall refused to walk a couple blocks to the House of Commons for work. Now c'mon... :s +++++ Since everyone is showing off snowtrucks... Montreal's snow-removal equipements. Sidewalk plowers. It's my dream to drive one of those babies. Baddest of all snowblowers. Then we have graders, snow plows with salting capacity, salthing trucks, bulldozers, and dump trucks going up to 50 feet long and 10-12 feet high.
  24. I made this a few years ago in French as an joke between my ex and me. But it's too dirty. Erm, yeah... *coughs* I raped up the "O Canada!" song very well.
  25. You got 1.5 feet of snow? I'm only seeing on the news that London only got about 8 inches. Actually, that may be snow drifts where his niece got in. Wind tends to pile up snow quite well.
