Re: Almost Smart Convention 2009
I like how you used vile. That's pretty much how i was feeing at that moment.
And what was said wasn't concerning just MDL or certain members, rather human unkind. That post was inspired by my father and his friend bickering at themselves. And i mean that in the literal form. They both had strong arguments but they only heard their own side. The day after, the argument struck again. Only this time all they could do was pick at insignificant faults in what they had said, and purposely not pay any attention to a good, rational point. My statement about Almost Smart is that it has turned into child's play. Some people have developed a unique understanding of manipulation, and without knowing that they crave drama, ( creating it or wanting to be a part of it ) they manipulate themselves or others in very counter productive ways. When we decide to meet each other in person, these methods have a much more devastating affect when or if it occurs. I know very well that my mother isn't hated by everybody. I know very well who appreciates her. I also know who has tried hurting her out of spite. But I don't know why people have no compassion for anyone just trying to share their opinion, experiences or knowledge. Instead we make an attempt to challenge them. You have a beautiful mind Jasmine. Don't let your memories be altered by yourself or others. I paid for my trip to KOA entirely. I work hard for my money so I better be treated right. Any Q's, A's or O's?

Oh yeah, feel free to call Mike and invite yourself to my place April 2nd to the 6th. That is, unless you're probed. Mike and Magalie are comin to las vegas. AND HOLY SHIT THAT"S A BLAST FROM THE PAST!! You've succesfully reminded me of how i used to look like a faggot. Thanks much. ![]() btw your girl is FIIIIINE. Gdamn lucky bastard.

Thanks to ya'll who questioned the ban and thanks to Zero for unbanning me. I wasn't going to bother being back in May, but why not since it's fixed. I know I can be as much a pain in the ass as the next person, but it's nice to know I'm appreciated at least a little by excellent judges of character ![]() As for the 2009 meetup, recently someone mentioned meeting as locally as possible, within immediately surround states, then rotating coasts with central once every few years to leave room for other events. Kind of seems to be evolving that way of its own accord. Not that I'm thinking everyone will be around here that long, but some will and it seems more reasonable than everyone trying to meet every year from one coast to the other.

Re: Almost Smart Convention 2009
That's affirmative. Go figure, I finally feel like I have something to say and it's completly misdirected because i don't know how to read.lol.But it was mainly directed at anyone it applied to.
But the real reason for this post is that i'm moving to Colorado. I figure I never say much about myself so here's what's goin on with me. My job is awsome. I'm getting payed real good money, and do to the economy, AIT's volume of product is diminishing, meaning I have to do less work. Hurray for me! The problem is the labor i've been doing over the past 4 years has started to curved my spine and the hours that i work have taken a large toll. So whenever I get adjusted by my chiropracter, I go to work and break down most of the progress that was made. Plus, I realized that I've become much less efficient with my work because i'm letting my gaurd down. - my reasons, amongst others, for resigning. So I've decided to make Colorado my next destination for living. I have good freinds in CO and numerous others who've adopted me as a "part of the family". Finding another good job like the one I had will be unlikely, but i'm fine with whatever.

Re: Almost Smart Convention 2009
It's more important to be near to the ones you love than to worry about the good job you have. You'll always find work wherever you go.. it's just a matter of how hard you're willing to look and work for that job.

Not this time.
Or, it hasn't happened yet? Maybe it will happen elsewhere?

Re: Almost Smart Convention 2009
Well, we got some sort of mini convention on my birthday. Madre, PunkTinkerBell, Weasel, Hamana, HockeyMom, Foxy, Mitropa and I where there with a few others, celebrating in Casabonita.
Does that count? ^_^ |

Re: Almost Smart Convention 2009
No, she was in Leeds, last time I checked. There's also Grunt, he lives somewhere on that island. Then there's a girl who lives outside of london who I used to be penpals with... but I haven't spoken to her in a year.

Re: Almost Smart Convention 2009
I'd be up for that. Although right now I'm in possibly the most boring part of England. I'm sure by then I'll be back in London though.

Re: Almost Smart Convention 2009
I know, let's have it at my house. That way I don't gotta go anywhere. I got a basement you can all live in. Oh wait, then I'de still have to drive to my house...meh, nevermind. Besides it'd be too weird, I'de feel like a serial killer and I usually act on my feelings.
