Superfriendly voice. =) Doesn't sound that New Yorkish anymore.

I found out I have traces of Hawaiian, Mexican and Country in my voice.

How did a 1/2 Mexican Girl that grew up in Arkansas with a 1/2 Redneck family and move to Kauai get such a voice? Who knows?

Oh. Night Owl reminded me that our 10 year anniversary is coming up.

Here's the thread that started it all.

Piss Dr. AtomiQ Campaign - Post Hate Messages Here

Some of the messages are gone but I think this is the first mention of Unwashed Villagers.

hehehehe

That thread also has the creation of many Unwashed staples. Not bathing and the Unwashed Pitchfork.

So awesome to chat with someone after 10 years. =)
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.


Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

It was awesome! Made my day! Funny it took us ten years to do that.

It's always interesting the first time you hear the voice of someone you otherwise "know" - you have certain pictures of them in your mind. For example, I know you're a 6' tall package of Krav Maga hurt, yet you have a seriously sweet, almost dainty voice. From just your voice, I would picture you as 5' tall saying "please protect me" :)

hmmm... "a 6' tall package of Krav Maga hurt" would probably look good on a resume :)   (well, depending on the job!)

I just visited the archives link and found that most of the messages seem not to be archived. :(

The popup claimed their webcrawler will eventually archive that but that presupposed those pages still exist.  Which I think they don't.

Aye, all gone :(

We should do a meeting someday, Ventrilo or the likes. Could prolly use my guilds' Vt server if people were up for it :)


Solwyn: Sorry to anyone here with a business degree, but I don't trust or like any of you.

I agree, she does have a dainty sounding voice. Of course I only got to hear a few words until I responded and the cursed DDV chased her away forever.

Actually it was the Paragon City Disconnections. Darn connections! =(

Night Owl's about the 27th person that says my voice hides my size. =) I still remember that woman in Kauai that used to talk down to me on the phone until she met me in person. 6'1" beats 5'3"
Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?

We talked when you played WoW for that short time actually. I remember you making a female Dwarf and I helped you with the low level quests.

Yes we did. =) Pity I didn't have more time to devote to the game.

We do need to get a Ventro session together.

Or at this point I could just call you guys sometime. I basically have unlimited minutes on my cell phone and can call anywhere in the US for regular price.

Hey look here, I've gained a few pounds but I'm NOT half the village.

If it's anything like the ICQ chats of old, it'll be a lot of "Where's such and such?" "Can you hear me?" "Can anyone else see X?" etc. Many a Friday night ended up like that.

I have been fortunate enough to meet a few villagers IRL, with Hoopy being the most recent - we did lunch but I forget the name of the place.

Turjan is next on the list. People sometimes make the mistake of thinking Turjan and I have met, but over 8 years later and we're still working on it - fate intervined and knackered the attempt the last time we tried.

Buffalo Wild Wings. Probably the best "national chain" wing place you'll find in the U.S. And they have a pretty good beer selection for a chain restaurant, but that's because each has its own bar manager who makes decisions on what gets stocked. My neighbor was the original bar manager at the one we went to, but he was transferred to another Chicago area one by the time we ate there.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
