Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
Neat, seems like the forum is back. On another note, I'm on my grandparent's place. It's nice here, though I do miss my stuff back home. Who knows, maybe I can concentrate and focus a little to work while I'm here.
Fear is not "evil". It is to know your own weakness. If you know your weakness, people can become strong as well as gentle.

Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
As of last night, an event scheduled for today that I had been planning since November seemed to have only a few attendees coming. (This was an annual event, but it's been coordinated by several different people over the last decade—this was my second year.) But when we got started earlier this afternoon, we had 15 people besides myself, so my work wasn't entirely in vain.
Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
Last Wednesday, I acquired a massive collection of my childhood, (and other assorted goodness).
My local Best Buy is going out of business, so I decided to stop in to see what could be had/haggled. Total retail price was about $350. Sale price brought it down to $120. Then with a liberal application of Roguish Charm, I got the lady behind the counter to knock it down to $60.

Forum is back and I went to a baseball game. This is a good day.

Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
So some of the members of the country club I provide security for just got married. They had their own fireworks display put on and it was pretty spectacular. The place is nestled inside a mountain range so the reverb on each explosion was intense as all get out. Like three plus seconds of decay and the thing lasted a good fifteen minutes. Had a pretty good viewing from my guard house.

Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
I was watching a video on youtube about the southern accent, specifically Kevin Spacey's accent on House of Cards, and I began to think "do I have an accent?" Now, of course, I know I have an American accent, but I was specifically curious about having a regional American accent, like southern, or New Yorker, or California valley, and it turns out, the Pacific Northwest does have a slight accent that deviates from the general American. One of the funniest quirks I found is something called the cot-caught merger, which means I have no idea that those two words are pronounced differently. Like, literally, I just don't know how to pronounce them differently. We also apparently invented the term "spendy", meaning expensive, and even right now, I see a red squiggle line under that word, and I think "what? That's totally a word". It's interesting to see how the way you speak is different from how others speak, I recommend others looking up their own regional accents
Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
Actually looked into that not so long ago after realizing that Arizonan's really don't seem to have any accent to speak of that distinguishes us. Excepting Hispanics and Native Americans, generally we're very good at formal enunciation, at worst you'll hear a very very subtle southern/western drawl if you're from a more rural part of the state.midnightblink wrote:I was watching a video on youtube about the southern accent, specifically Kevin Spacey's accent on House of Cards, and I began to think "do I have an accent?"

My accent was slightly Southern until I discovered country music. Since then, it has become slowly but surely more Southern. xDDadrobit wrote:Actually looked into that not so long ago after realizing that Arizonan's really don't seem to have any accent to speak of that distinguishes us.

After a week away, I'm home. Feels good to be back.
