You're welcoming at my place! Call British Airways, get yourself a plane ticket and PM me when you're in the Netherlands! :P

I've always wanted to visit Enschede :fou: Even if you were being serious, I can't travel abroad right now - otherwise I'd probably decide to grab a Eurostar to Paris and give myself a good excuse for being alone on NYE! Thanks anyway though, that's very sweet of you.

That place is not very far away from here, I'm on my way.

+ It snowed on Boxing Day!
+/- Back from my trip to England. I had a great time meeting everyone and it was good to finally say goodbye to the old man.

- I've been wanting to chat to Ad for a while now, but the timezone difference is unforgiving.
+ At least there's this place we can communicate on.

Although it may not mean anything, Christmish, you're welcome to be with my friends and myself from nine P.M. 'til New Year in spirit - I'll drink ya a glass of orange juice (or whatever I end up buying on my errand to the shop) in your name.

Glad you had a good time. I'd meant to hit you up, but the trip down to London is never fun! Better that you spent white Boxing Day with yer famelam. That last sentence intrigues me though...

Awww :hap: I'm feeling much less shivery about the prospect of a quiet New Year now, thanks in part to BizzleGizzle. Nonetheless my spirit shall happily accompany your festivities in whichever timezone you're in - just let me know the GMT equivalent so I can vacate my corporeal form in good time.

Speaking of timezones, I would have expected yours and Ad's to be rather close. :?

I mentioned this earlier a month or so back (maybe two, now) - maybe you missed it -, but my grandfather passed away. We set free his ashes the day after Boxing Day.

If you happen to pass out exactly one hour passed midnight, UK time, you've been telemaportraited over to my friend's house.

Nah, sister! Ad lives in Canada, whereas I live in Holland. There's a nine hour gap between us - while over there, I suddenly realised how bad it is; just when you've woken up and you're about to begin your day, the day here has reached its end. Then the next nine or so hours are spent with waiting for the Dutchies to get back up from bed, right at the time when your happy Canadian self goes to bed. It's a rather unfortunate temporal loopfuck.

Yes, I remember you mentioning that. :( When you said 'the old man' I thought you meant your dad(!), didn't put two and two together.
Also, I was under the impression you were a full-blooded Yank. So this has been one big clusterfuck of misconceptions. :lol:

And British Columbia at that, so, as a Canadian, I couldn't possibly be further away! Yeah, it's only 10 AM on the 31st for me at the moment.

+ My brother is having a big party tonight which I suppose I'll try and join in on, there'll be a lot of Smash Bros.
+ My SNES/N64/GC and PlayStation s-video cables arrived, and I couldn't be happier with how much superior it is to composite. Now my recordings don't have effing dot-crawl.

I don't know if it'll make you feel any better Candish, but many people (including myself) hardly even take note of events like New Year's, so it might as well just be any other day, one where there's just as good a chance that no one's free to hang out as any other day. I myself wouldn't even have made any plans if it weren't for my brother's party, I was just going to, aside from do a bit of shopping, sit in my room and play Black Flag for most of the day.

Great, now you’ve made me jealous. My capture card has an S-Video input.

- I can't check new posts in my usual topics by opening up a bunch of tabs anymore, my new laptop lags a LOT when I do so. I have to check them one-by-one now.
+ At least this laptop doesn't overheat through basic use like my old one.

I'm sorry to hear that Imco, my sincere condolences.
+/- I hope I don't get my hopes up too much that 2015 will be much better than the previous years. Because I found out the hard way when summer began.

Trust me, I do the same in the Mac, it lags like hell. Try opening 3, at least.

I'm sorry Imco, please keep up, it wasn't your fault neither you cat's, it's just life.

+ Thanks for all the condolences guys, it really does mean a lot to me.
+ I've come to senses a little, had some distraction this afternoon and am starting to accept the cold reality.
+ At least my favourite Dutch tv-show starts tonight.
